Chapter 1062 The second day was not good
Miranda was very happy about the new changes last night and had a particularly good rest, with a satisfied smile on her face.
She gently pushed open the old door outside, which had a certain quaint charm. She was a little excited to face the unknown second day.
The fresh air in the early morning rushed into her nostrils like a lively elf. The coolness and natural fragrance made her take a deep breath.
"The smell has become different. It turns out that the memory of last night was not a dream." Miranda seemed to want to integrate this new day, all the positions and beauty into her body.
Looking up, the whole street has returned to its original appearance. Yesterday's noise and repetition seemed to have been quietly smoothed out by last night's bells.
Shops on the street opened their doors one after another, and the owners began to prepare for a new day of business with familiar smiles.
The bakery wafts with an enticing aroma, the smell of freshly baked bread mixed with the scent of yeast, which is mouth-watering.
On the street, more and more people were walking. Children, who had nowhere to vent their energy, were chasing and playing with each other, laughing. Their clear laughter echoed in the air, adding a bit of liveliness to this ordinary morning.
Miranda stood quietly at the door, looking at this familiar and warm scene, her heart full of expectations for life.
As she stepped out of the house, a tile suddenly fell from the roof of the neighbor's house and hit Miranda with incredible precision, just two steps away from hitting her.
If the tile hits a woman's head, it will split her head open on the spot. Even a strong man will fall into coma instantly if he is hit on the head.
The sudden accident made Miranda freeze in place. A cold feeling spread from her feet to the top of her head. The fear of the unknown the next day finally brought her back to her senses.
The neighbor next door quickly came out of the house to check if Miranda was injured. He apologized in a polite manner.
However, Miranda did not listen to any of these apologies. She just looked at everything in reality with a dull look in her eyes.
The beautiful filter in her mind was broken. The Kingdom of Lulucia where she lived was never a paradise. The buildings on the streets were old and full of decay.
It is one of the more famous slums in the Kingdom of Lulucia. To make matters worse, due to the battle last night, the fake body of the fishman Aaron caused considerable damage here.
Many innocent poor people were crushed under the collapsed buildings. No one came to rescue them, and the royal family would not care about them. They could only wait to die under the rubble.
Everyone around is trying hard to live, only children's faces have innocent smiles, they don't understand anything.
But sometimes, children will cry to their parents because of hunger. This is the saddest time of their day, and adults have to consider more.
Miranda pushed away the apologetic neighbor beside her and just said lightly: "What a bad day."
The day went on for a long time. As the day's contents were repeated over and over again, Miranda had already memorized the dangers and deliberately avoided the threats during the day.
But today is different. Time no longer repeats itself. Facing the unknown second day, Miranda's happiness has disappeared.
She needs to go out to work today and can't slack off like she did some time ago, otherwise the creditors will come and demand to sell the house.
The group of loan sharks kept by the royal family will not show any mercy to the common people. If they have no money, they can only sell themselves. Miranda does not want to become a slave of the royal family.
The woman also wanted to save money to leave the country, live in an unfamiliar environment, marry a strange man, have a strange child, and live a simple and ordinary life.
Unfortunately, if the future is as beautiful as ordinary people imagine, there will be no oppression from the higher classes in the world. The reality is that loan sharks don’t want to wait even a moment.
"Miranda, did you forget something? The money you owe me is overdue, pay me back quickly."
The woman had not yet left the familiar street, but was blocked by a thug-like burly man at the end of the street.
He was the creditor who lent money to Miranda, one of the black gloves of the royal family. He collected the capital and interest of the royal family, and then he took a part of the rest.
Miranda stared at the familiar and frightened face, pinching the hem of her skirt with both hands, and said nervously and stammeringly: "I, I don't have any money now. I paid taxes on all the money I earned before. I will go to earn money today. Please give me a few more days."
The man frowned. How many more days of grace? He had already given Miranda several days of grace. The other party had no ability to pay back the money from the beginning.
In lending money to Miranda, Liuzi set his sights on the woman's ancestral home, even though the dilapidated house in the slums was not worth much.
Collect the money from the woman without any investment, then clean it up and rent it out. The rental business can be long-term and more stable than loan sharking.
From the very beginning when Miranda borrowed from the loan shark, she had already fallen into a carefully laid trap. The poor had no chance to make mistakes, and one mistake would lead to irreparable consequences.
"The royal family's money won't wait that long. Miranda should sell herself as a slave. This will save her life and allow her to have a living."
The man simply acknowledged that Miranda's ancestral home was his. As for the royal family's money, Miranda had to sign a lifelong indenture to repay the principal.
"I, I still have my house. I can use it to pay off my debts..."
At this time, Miranda still had a fluke mentality and thought the house was still hers.
"What do you mean your house? That's my house." The loan shark turned completely against him and tore off his disguise completely.
The strong loan shark had a ferocious look on his face, like an angry beast. Miranda, who couldn't pay back the money, kept backing away, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.
The creditor approached step by step, his leather shoes making dull sounds on the ground, and each sound seemed to step heavily on the woman's heart.
Without saying a word, he stretched out his big hand like a palm-leaf fan and grabbed the woman's hair. The woman let out a shrill scream, but unfortunately the sound was covered by the bustling street.
Miranda struggled instinctively, trying to pry the creditor's hands apart with both hands, but her weak strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of the creditor, and she couldn't move him at all.
The creditor had no mercy at all. He grabbed the woman's hair tightly and dragged her out from the corner. The woman kicked her feet on the ground but could not break free.
The creditor held the woman hostage in front of him and said viciously: "Follow me to the palace and sign a contract to sell you!"
Miranda burst into tears and begged in a trembling voice: "Please, give me some more time..."
But the creditor turned a deaf ear to her and just held her tightly like an iron clamp, not giving the woman any chance to resist.
Many people saw a woman being blatantly kidnapped on the street, but they were angry but dared not say anything.
One can only sigh. Miranda, this unlucky woman, finally got herself into trouble. The neighbors will not interfere in her affairs.
They didn't dare to anger the royal lackeys. At best they would be seriously injured, and at worst their families would be destroyed. No one dared to act as a hero at this time.
The cruel rule of the Sezi family over the Kingdom of Lulucia has been integrated into every aspect of this country.
