Chapter 273 You are different from him
Chapter 273 You Are Different From Him
"I'm happy. Let's have a couple of drinks tonight to celebrate." Chen Yongwei grinned. "That bastard Wang Mazi used to say that I was ugly and stupid, and even widows didn't like me. I was the only one on the list of bachelors in Shatou Village."
Li Changle immediately got angry, "You are so big, but you can't beat that thing that is pinched in the middle and has no ends?"
"You and him were so close at that time that if I wanted to beat him up, you would have come to scold me."
"...I was living like a joke back then." Li Changle now thinks that he was so obsessed with getting rich that he was almost crazy.
"You are different from him. If anyone dares to touch Sister A'sao and Sister Xi, you will fight him to the death!"
"How do you know this?"
"I'm not really stupid!" Chen Yongwei curled his lips, "That bastard Wang Mazi looks down on me! Doesn't he even think about what kind of person he is? He's a bastard who is willing to sell out his own sister for money. He really lives like a joke."
Li Changle then realized that the one who understood life the most clearly was his good friend who looked a little silly.
Chen Yongwei smiled at him and stretched his head to whisper: "He scolded me, so I smashed his things. The next night I went to his house and smashed his glass windows with a slingshot. I smashed it three times in a row."
“…You can do it, kid!”
When the two men came out of the alley, they saw many people from the village running towards the pier.
Seeing that they came back early in the morning, Grandma Chen hurried to make food for the two of them. "You've been busy all night, you must be hungry. I'll cook you a bowl of sugar eggs to fill your stomach."
"I've already eaten at my brother's place. We've parked the boat at the Nanshan beach."
"Eating at your brother's place again. Bring some rations over later." Grandma Chen said, looking at the two of them with a distressed look on her face. "Going out on the boat at night is much more tiring than during the day. You even have dark circles under your eyes."
"It's not dark circles, it's squid ink." Chen Yongwei smiled and came forward, "Look, there's still some on my neck! Find me some clothes, I'll clean them up and change into them to go down the bridge to deliver the goods."
"Oh!" Grandma Chen laughed, "Now you know how to be clean. Before, your clothes would smell sour after you took them off."
Li Changle laughed and joked, "Now that you have a fiancée, who would want someone who is so sloppy?"
"Yes, yes!" The old lady went to get the clothes with brisk steps.
Li Changle helped tie the rubber bucket to the bicycle and went out to the pier, where he saw that the outside of Wang's Seafood Store was surrounded by people watching the fun.
"Anti-smuggling ship escorted Wang Mazi's brother-in-law past the dock, and one of them was beaten to death on the spot."
"We caught a lot of things on Baisha Island, and some people were fishing on the way by boat,"
"No wonder there were so many boats heading to Baisha Island early in the morning."
There were two families in Shatou Village who asked him for help to buy a television, and now they were blocking him inside, asking him to pay back the money.
It was exactly the same as he remembered. His second child seemed to have drowned and floated up a few days later. He was found and sent back to Shaki Village.
When Li Changle thought of this, something flashed through his mind. Before he had time to think about it, he saw Lin Changrong and his father running towards him, panting.
Lin Changrong saw Li Changle standing there, paused for a moment, and then squeezed into the shop.
"Ah Le, you are really smart. My Ah Rong is just a fool. Now that's enough money for two TV sets!"
"Uncle Lin, don't worry!" Li Changle handed him a cigarette, said a few dry words of comfort, and turned back.
Lin Changrong pushed aside the crowd blocking the door and shouted to Wang Mazi, who was standing there with a gloomy face, "Awang, they said that your brother-in-law was captured by an anti-smuggling ship, and the ship also hit a reef and sank. Is it true?"
"You have a pig brain?" Father Lin slapped him angrily, "His brother-in-law hasn't been arrested, so why are there so many people around him?"
"That's right, if we didn't ask him for money, why would we come here?"
Lin Changrong was anxious, "Awang, your brother-in-law has been arrested. Where is the TV? Hurry and give it to me."
"What are you going to give me back?" The woman who was blocking the door started to curse angrily, "God damn it! My family gave him money for two TV sets! Oh my God, what should I do? This is going to kill me!"
"Ah Rong, did your family ask him to help buy a TV?"
"My uncle's family. They were originally going to go to Lucheng to buy it, but Awang said it's cheaper here."
Lin Changrong regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He should not have taken on the responsibility earlier. Now look what he has to pay back.
Father Lin's face was as black as squid ink. "Arong, that bastard, said he was friends with Wang Mazi, and that the contraband goods he bought from him were not only imported goods, but also cheap. Now, what money are you going to use to compensate my uncle?"
"You son of a bitch, give me the money I earned from selling my goods." A man grabbed Wang Mazi and pointed at his nose and said, "Pay me back! You owe me a total of 570, plus interest of 640, give me the money!"
Wang Mazi stood on tiptoe and grabbed his hand and pried it apart. "You put it here to earn interest, a high interest rate of four percent. Is it so delicious?"
"You were the one who forced me to borrow money at a high interest rate of four percent!"
At this time, another man squeezed in and grabbed Wang Mazi, "Here's my six hundred, give it back quickly, or I'll kill you!"
Wang Laokou had a sad face and stepped forward and said, "Boss Liu, the money has been used to buy goods. It is not in my hands. I can't do anything even if you force me to death."
The Lin Changrong brothers who were blocking the shop and the villagers who asked his family to help buy home appliances became panicked when they saw so many people coming to them to ask for money.
They squeezed in one by one, shouting, "Pay back the money, pay back the money, pay back the money..." Zou Anv slapped her thigh and cried, "Oh my God, are you trying to force us to death? You have no conscience, why didn't you force us before..."
"You don't pay me back what you owe me, and you still think you're right." The man was so angry that he punched Wang Mazi. "You run such a big seafood business, but you don't have money? You are kidding me. Why don't you let us search for ourselves?"
Wang Mazi screamed in pain. Seeing this, Zou Anü rushed forward and grabbed the man, but he pushed her to the ground and she sat there screaming.
"Someone's been beaten to death! Can any villager help call the brigade cadres? Please..."
"You owe me money and you still have the right to not pay me?"
"Even Wang Laosty has no money. Everyone in the village is poor."
"When we came to sell seafood, we saw them putting the money in the desk drawer."
"Mr. Wang, open the drawer and get the money."
"I have no money, really no money." Old Wang shouted, but refused to take the key to open the drawer.
"If he doesn't give it to me, break it open." Someone shouted.
"Yes, if you don't give it to us, I'll smash it myself."
Father Lin and the two men picked up the weights on the scale and were about to smash the padlock when Secretary Wang and Accountant Chen walked in.
"Stop! You are breaking the law by doing this."
"What country's laws have we violated? Is it reasonable for his family to not pay back the money they owe?"
Father Lin said angrily: "It is only natural to pay back debts. How dare you not pay it back?"
Wang Laokou saw that his backers had come and said, "Secretary Wang, we didn't say we wouldn't return it. We asked them to give us a few days, but they beat us up and robbed us."
"Bullshit!" The tall man took out a receipt from his pocket, "I sold you seafood worth more than 600 yuan..."
"My family..." A woman also took the list and shouted, "Secretary Wang, my family has saved a few hundred yuan by living frugally. I want to buy a TV as a dowry for my daughter. If he doesn't give it to me, I will hang myself in Wang's house."
"Don't worry, fellow villagers. It is only natural to pay back debts. We will urge the Wang family to pay off their debts."
Secretary Wang glanced at Wang Mazi and said, "You should explain it clearly to the villagers and give them a time to come out. Then they can come and take it. What's the point of surrounding them like this?"
"Secretary Wang," Old Wang pulled him into the inner room and said with a sad face, "I really don't have any money. I gave it all to Ah Cai to buy goods. Now something has happened. I can't do anything!"
Secretary Wang looked at him coldly and whispered, "Don't complain about being poor to me. I know very well how stingy you are at saving money.
If you don't take out the money and take care of these things, if someone dies, you and your father will both go to jail and be shot!"
Wang Laokou was so frightened that he trembled. "I, I deposited my money in a credit union, and it's due at the end of the year. If I withdraw it now and give it back to them, I'll lose a lot!"
"You're still interested in that little bit of interest?" Secretary Wang pointed at him and whispered, "I'm telling you, you'll have to pay more than just the money back to them. You may also have to return the stolen money. If you don't prepare the money, you'll know when the time comes."
He regrets it so much now. He didn't get to eat much mutton, which was very smelly. He doesn't know how long he can finish this book.
"I'll pay it back, I'll pay it back." Old Wang felt heartbroken. Now that his son-in-law was in jail, he would have no way to make money. Even the retirement money he had saved with great difficulty could not be kept. How would he live in the future?
When Secretary Wang saw that he agreed to return the money, he went out and said to the villagers who were waiting there, "Everyone come over and register. I will go get the money and return it to you."
Wang Laokou took it and said, "I've given you the bill for everything you bought. Take it out and I'll check it before I give it to you."
The villagers present were overjoyed after hearing this and came forward with their lists, saying, "I have two bicycles."
"I have a TV at home."
"You owe me six hundred, plus interest..."
"I'll give you three hundred."
Father Lin turned to look at Lin Changrong, "You gave Wang Mazi the money for two TV sets, where is the bill?"
"I, I thought we were good friends, so I didn't ask him to write the bill." Lin Changrong said to Wang Mazi, "Awang, I gave you the money early that morning, and you said you could get the goods in 16."
Wang Mazi looked at Lin Changrong and said word by word: "My father just said that we won't recognize it without an order."
After hearing this, Father Lin's eyes went dark and he angrily hit him, "You prodigal bastard, Ah Le got hurt once, so he knows not to play with him..."
After hearing this, Lin Changrong suddenly remembered something and grabbed Wang Mazi, "You bastard, if you dare not give it to me, I have a witness. When I gave you the money that day, Ah Le and the others happened to pass by.
You said Ah Le just earned a few bucks, and you really thought you could get rid of that poor skin. Ah Le was just outside, I'll find Ah Le to testify. "
He squeezed out of the door as he spoke, but he couldn't find Li Changle after searching everywhere.
