Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

Thus, Jia Dongxu stayed at home in fear for a whole day, ignoring Zhang Laosan's knocking on the door.

Tiger and his gang are running a casino, which is illegal. They probably won't come to our house openly to collect debts, right?

Jia Dongxu thought to himself that he would wait for Qin Huairu to return from grocery shopping and then urge her to go to the street office to inquire about selling the house.

If I can't sell it for 500 yuan, 400 yuan will do!

As long as we can convert the house into cash today, even if it's a little less, it doesn't matter.

Once he got the money, he left Nanluoguxiang in the middle of the night and went back to his hometown to avoid trouble.

As for Jia Zhangshi, who was still undergoing labor reform on the farm, Jia Dongxu was not worried. Tiger Brother and his group wanted money, not lives.

Just as he was thinking this, Jia Dongxu heard another urgent knock on the door.

"Zhang Laosan, you're done playing, aren't you? I don't have time to deal with you right now!"

Things had come to this point, so Jia Dongxu naturally didn't have a good attitude towards Zhang Laosan. If it weren't for this scoundrel taking him out to have fun, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

It was a bit of a disaster, but at least I had over 500 in savings, so if I saved up, I wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the next few years.

But this scoundrel led him astray, and in just a few days he was drowning in debt.

"Haha, Dongxu, you're home!"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a bald man walked in with a grin, followed by two or three henchmen, including Zhang Laosan.

"Guang...Brother Guang!"

Jia Dongxu's heart tightened, his pupils involuntarily contracted, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

So...they've found our way home?

Seeing Brother Guang come to collect debts, Jia Dongxu almost wet his pants again.

"So, is the money ready?"

Brother Guang chuckled and pulled up a stool to sit down, then took out a small knife from his pocket and started playing with it.

Seeing Guang Ge pull out a knife at the slightest provocation, Jia Dongxu swallowed hard.

I'm really afraid of what's coming!

He had planned to sell the house and run away today, but he didn't expect that Tiger and his gang couldn't wait even a day longer.

"No...no money," Jia Dongxu stammered.

Ok?

Guang Ge's eyes sharpened; he hadn't expected Jia Dongxu to say something so assertive.

Having already brought people to his door, Jia Dongxu opened his mouth and replied that he had no money.

What a fool!

Seeing that Brother Guang was a little unhappy, Jia Dongxu quickly added, "I'm raising money right now. Once I sell the house and borrow some more, I can pay back the money."

"But you have to give me some time. 1500 yuan is just too much; I can't afford it all in a short time..."

"Ouch!"

Before Jia Dongxu could finish speaking, one of Guang Ge's henchmen stepped forward and kicked Jia Dongxu in the face.

"Damn it, just pay me back when I tell you to! Stop dragging your feet and trying to fool me!"

"Quickly, hand over the money, or I'll cut your basket in half!"

"I really don't have that much money right now!"

Jia Dongxu clutched his nose in pain, feeling as if the kick had almost broken it.

Too bad!

These people are absolutely ruthless!

"Brother Guang, I beg you, give me some time, three days! I only need three days! I promise I'll pay you back in three days."

Guang Ge ignored Jia Dongxu and simply waved to his underlings.

The underlings understood immediately and went forward to kick Jia Dongxu.

Having learned from yesterday's beating, Jia Dongxu didn't hesitate to cover his head and curl up, but the rain of kicks still made him howl in pain.

"Jia Dongxu, I advise you to hand over the money as soon as possible, so you can avoid some minor injuries." Brother Guang said unhurriedly, still playing with the small knife in his hand. He had done this kind of debt collection job many times, and he had at least two hundred ways to deal with people like Jia Dongxu.

"Brother Guang, I really don't have any right now!"

"I'm so poor that I have to rent Zhang Laosan's house. Where am I going to come up with 1,500 yuan in such a short time?"

"Hey, stop hitting me! If you kill me, you won't get any money!"

While screaming in pain, Jia Dongxu begged Guang Ge for mercy.

He really doesn't have any money right now, even if you consider his style, he still doesn't have any.

Upon hearing this, Guang Ge looked directly at Zhang Laosan, who nodded and then questioned Jia Dongxu: "You broke his leg, what about the compensation the factory gave you?"

"It's all gone long ago!" Jia Dongxu hadn't expected Zhang Laosan to ask that question.

The factory gave a lot of compensation at the time, but their family also lost a lot of money.

It could be said that after compensating Chen Jun, they compensated Xu Damao, then Xu Damao, then Sha Zhu, and finally they still had to pay Yi Zhonghai's installment payments. The little compensation the factory gave them was quickly spent.

"So much money is gone?" Zhang Laosan asked again, "What about the money from selling the workstations?"

"I bought my workstation on installment, and I only get a few dozen yuan a month."

Zhang Laosan's face twitched. He didn't remember any of what Jia Dongxu had said!

It wasn't that he had a bad memory, but rather that Zhang Laosan often went out to fool around, either playing cards or on his way to get beaten up. Sometimes he wouldn't even come home for two or three days, so he wasn't particularly aware of what was happening in the courtyard.

"Selling houses..."

After asking that question, Zhang Laosan's voice stopped abruptly.

Because Jia Dongxu sold the house a few days ago, but he bought it back for an extra fifty yuan.

Got it!

All things considered, Jia Dongxu is now penniless!

"Hit him! Hit him as hard as you can!" Zhang Laosan shouted through gritted teeth.

He was the one who brought Jia Dongxu to Guang Ge's place, and he was the one who personally told Guang Ge that Jia Dongxu was a fat sheep.

Now Jia Dongxu owes 1,500 yuan and is penniless.

If the money can be repaid, Zhang Laosan will receive a reward.

But if he can't pay it back, Zhang Laosan will probably get dealt with by Tiger and Guang.

"Zhang Laosan, you good-for-nothing!"

Guang Ge, who was standing to the side, understood what was going on. He was so angry that he kicked Zhang Laosan, making him stumble. Then, he took a knife, walked up to Jia Dongxu, and slapped him in the face a few times: "Jia Dongxu, you dare to play me? Come on, come with me to see Brother Hu."

It's unlikely that we'll get all 1,500 yuan back; overall, the matter was a complete failure.

Guang Ge is currently undecided, so he plans to take Jia Dongxu to Hu Ge's place and follow Hu Ge's arrangements.

"I'm not going, I'm not going!"

Jia Dongxu twisted his body, trying to crawl under the bed, but as a person with a disability in both legs, his mobility was too poor, and his underlings grabbed his pants and pulled him out.

"take away!"

At Guang Ge's command, his men helped Jia Dongxu into a wheelchair.

But just as they stepped out of the house, they ran into Yan Bugui, who was returning home from get off work.

"Uncle, save me!" Jia Dongxu shouted at Yan Bugui as if he had grasped a lifeline.

Yan Bugui was startled by the shout, and then he saw a shiny bald head.

"What do you do?"

Guang Ge and his ilk had me written all over their heads as a bad guy, which immediately alerted Yan Bugui.
