As the layers of plastic wrap were removed, a bloody thing fell out. Xiao Han picked it up and screamed in fright. The bloody fingers on his hands fell on the table.
"Oh my! It's a thumb."
"Ouch! How scary!"
Wen Xin and Jun Mohan heard the screams outside and dropped what they were holding and ran out. Wen Xin gasped when she saw the nails and fingers on the table.
Jun Mohan ran into the kitchen, picked up the finger with chopsticks and held it in front of his eyes and said, "This is a thumb, a real finger."
"Men's."
Xiao Han was so scared that he was shaking and his face turned pale.
Wen Xin was afraid that she might have a miscarriage, so she quickly sat down and hugged her to comfort her.
"Who would send this finger? It's so wicked."
Xiao Han cried, "Something must have happened to my brother. He was taken away last week. My mother came to me and said that if he didn't pay back the money, she would cut off one of his fingers every day. Today should be the first day."
Wen Xin and Jun Mohan frowned.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, Xiao Han's cell phone rang, and her mother's crying voice was heard from the phone.
"Xiao Han, your brother's finger has been sent home, what should we do?"
"Woo, woo, if you don't save your brother, he's really going to die."
"How can you be so cruel! He's your brother, and you just watched him die without helping him."
"Your husband's family is obviously rich but they won't give us a dowry. Mommy begs you to go and get money to save your brother!"
Xiao's mother's crying echoed in the living room. Xiao Han cut off the phone directly, threw the finger into the cardboard box with a pale face, and said to Wen Xin: "Wen Xin, I'll go home first."
"I'm sorry to ruin your holiday like this."
Mrs. Jun said, "Child, what are you going to do now?"
"I can't just stand by and watch someone die. I have to go back and ask my husband for money. He has money."
After Xiao Han finished speaking, he stuffed the garbage into the cardboard box and ran outside.
Because of her big belly, her steps were a little clumsy.
Wen Xin followed, "I'll go see her off."
In the elevator, Wen Xin looked at Xiao Han who was about to cry and said distressedly: "If there is really no other way, I will ask my friend to lend you some money. You can use it to pay off your debts first. Your brother will be in danger every day you delay. Today he lost two fingers, and tomorrow he will lose four more fingers in total."
Xiao Han cried, "Wen Xin, I really have no choice. Zhang Guodong has money, I will definitely ask him for it. You are also in a difficult situation and are heavily in debt. I can't trouble you."
The elevator door opened, and she said anxiously, "You go back first! I'll go back for a bit."
"I'll go with you."
"No need. His eldest brother and his wife are all here today. It would be bad if they say something unpleasant to you."
Wen Xin was worried, but she couldn't stand Xiao Han's insistence, so she had to give up.
When they got home, Jun Mohan saw that she was worried and couldn't help but pull her to the balcony.
"If there is really no other way to deal with Xiao Han's situation, either call the police or pay back the money."
Wen Xin said with worry, "Three hundred and thirty thousand, she has no money at all."
"I can help borrow it from Mr. Jun."
"Thank you, uncle. Let's see if Xiao Han's man will give so much betrothal gift first!"
In fact, Wen Xin knew very well how stingy the Zhang family was. They would not give out even 30,000, let alone 30,000. Otherwise, why would they ask Xiao Han to pay for the food?
Looking at the man in front of her who was lost in thought, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. Fortunately, the man she met was a good one.
Otherwise, put yourself in her shoes and think about what would happen if she were in Xiao Han's situation?
The warm melancholy grew bigger and bigger, so big that I didn't even eat a single bite of my favorite mooncake that night. Although I was smiling, my thoughts were on Xiao Han.
She began to get anxious and restless, and became silent.
Jun Mohan saw all of this and asked Mo Chen to help find out where Xiao Fei was, so that the police could raid quietly and bring these loan sharks who threatened people's lives to justice.
......
The Xiao family was in great joy that night.
Zhang Guodong's hand was only broken, and he didn't dare to call the police. After all, once he called the police, his secret relationship with Wang Jiajia would be known to everyone. He was not stupid.
I was sitting on the sofa with my family, watching the evening party and eating mooncakes and grapefruits, when I heard the sound of the door opening.
He didn't look back, knowing that it was Xiao Han's yellow-faced wife who came back, and he was too lazy to take a look.
Xiao Han walked in and looked at the family talking and laughing, Peng Peng piling building blocks on the ground, the clean and tidy house, and the leftover crabs, lobsters, beef and mutton on the dining table. Her heart was filled with deep sadness.
After all, the contrast between the situations of the Xiao family and the Zhang family tonight is too great.
After leaving Wen Xin's home, she went to the house rented by her parents. There were six people living in that 30-square-meter house. The house was dirty and desolate. There were no beds, and everyone slept on the floor.
His father was groaning in his sleep, and his mother was in tears.
The sister-in-law got mad at the quarrel between her two hungry children, and then she ran away from home after being scolded by her mother-in-law.
When she came out, she overdrew one thousand yuan from her credit card and left it there, and also bought them dinner before coming back.
She wanted to ignore them countless times, but she couldn't bear to do it. After all, they gave her life.
He placed the box in his hand on Zhang's coffee table, and blocked the TV with his entire huge body.
Zhang Guodong's sister-in-law said coldly: "What do you mean?"
"Are you crazy? You're blocking us from watching TV. I don't know how you got so fat. Who are you trying to annoy with your big belly?" Zhang Guodong said impatiently.
Xiao Han glanced at her husband, then pointed to the box on the coffee table and said, "This is my gift to you."
"Gift? You are so kind," his sister-in-law sarcastically opened the box. As the box opened, a thick, straight thumb was clearly visible inside. She was so scared that she pushed the box open and screamed.
Zhang Guoqiang asked impatiently: "Why are you so startled?"
"Hands, hands, fingers."
Wang Qiang said with a bad face: "Look how scared you are. Let me see what it is."
As soon as she tipped the box over, the stiff finger rolled onto the coffee table, making a crisp sound.
“Ahhh!”
Not to mention Wang Qiang, even Zhang Guodong was so scared that he stood up and stepped back.
"What does this mean?" The brave Zhang Guoqiang, who originally felt sorry for his sister-in-law, now glared at her with disgust.
Xiao Han smiled bitterly, "My brother's thumb was chopped off."
Wang Qiang's expression was stern. "What does it have to do with us if your brother's thumb was chopped off? He deserved it."
"That's right! Your brother's debt has nothing to do with us. Our Zhang family doesn't owe you anything." Zhang Guoqiang's wife shouted calmly.
Xiao Han sneered, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you, how much do they give you for your marriage?"
"They gave 100,000 yuan. My mother asked for 130,000 yuan and they gave it to her."
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she quickly shut up.
Xiao Han smiled and looked at Wang Qiang, "Sister-in-law gave me 130,000 yuan, why don't I get a penny?"
"Can you compare with your sister-in-law? She has a job, and her parents are the leaders on the construction site. You are a cleaner, and you don't even have a job. Your parents are country bumpkins. They don't have a penny and are heavily in debt. Can you compare with your sister-in-law?" Wang Qiang's disdainful voice echoed in Xiao Han's ears.
Xiao Han asked: "So this is why you don't give me a betrothal gift?"
"You're not worth the price? Ten thousand is too much."
Xiao Han looked at Zhang Guodong, "So that's what you mean too?"
"Indeed, no one would be willing to accept you except me. I am really glad that I didn't give you a betrothal gift in the first place. It's also a good thing that you didn't want it."
Xiao Han was furious. "My brother was caught and two fingers were cut off every day if he didn't pay back the money. If you don't give me the betrothal money to pay back the debt, I will let my brother's fingers remain here forever."
"You dare!" Wang Qiang roared.
"One hundred thousand, give me one hundred thousand as a betrothal gift, and I will save my brother, please," Xiao Han knelt down heavily, shedding sad tears.
She had never thought that she would have to ask for such a humble gift, so humble that she would have to ask for money from her husband's family.
If she wasn't forced, if she had no other choice, she wouldn't have allowed herself to fall.
Wang Qiang crossed her arms and said coldly, "I don't have a hundred thousand, at most eighteen thousand, you can take it or not."
