"Mom, now that you're dead we still have to pay you back. Just calm down and talk to them properly first."
Tang Xiaoqiang was very troubled and cursed Fang Qing silently in his heart.
What was going on? He had come all this way, but not only did he not get paid, he also got himself into trouble.
I haven't even earned enough money for the trip back home, but I'm already in debt.
When he found Fang Qing a few days ago, Fang Qing actually said that he had misunderstood. She said that she had never said that Tang Xiaofen was someone's mistress.
She didn't say it directly, but wasn't that how she guided him?
Damn bitch.
After comforting the old lady for a long time, Tang Xiaoqiang was able to talk to Ye Xiaotong about business.
"Manager Ye, this money was borrowed by my sister Tang Xiaofen. The borrower is also Tang Xiaofen. This has nothing to do with me."
Ye Xiaotong nodded. "That's the logic, but your sister doesn't have the ability to repay the loan."
"But isn't she helping you collect trash? She told me she's working to pay off your debts."
"She's helping us collect trash, but she only makes two dollars a day. We owe her five thousand. When will she be able to pay it back?"
Ye Xiaotong banged the coffee table hard and said sternly, "Our boss didn't even include interest because we're from the same hometown. If she did, she wouldn't be able to pay us back even if she collected our garbage for ten years."
When Tang Xiaoqiang heard the word "ten years", he shuddered with fear.
"So... so you mean... let me pay it back?"
Ye Xiaotong nodded, "That's right, it will be faster if you and your sister work together. It's not my idea, it's the boss's idea."
Tang Xiaoqiang, "But I don't have any money either."
"We know you don't have the money, but our boss is kind and didn't ask you to pay us back right away. What she means is that starting tomorrow, if you move things with us, the price will be the same as if you were at the logistics center. We won't take advantage of you. However, the debt will be deducted from your income. We'll leave you one dollar a day for living expenses, and the rest will be applied to your debt."
What?
Tang Xiaoqiang silently did some calculations.
I earn five dollars a day, and leaving one dollar for living expenses makes four dollars, plus Tang Xiaofen's two dollars, which makes six dollars.
I owe five thousand yuan, and I can pay back six yuan a day. Excluding my rest time, it will probably take me two or three years to pay it off.
Keep him trapped here to pay off three years of debt?
Isn’t that the same as Yang Guangzong being sold to the illegal coal mine?
That's it.
Tang Xiaoqiang looked at the seven or eight tall and strong men in the room. Each of them was over 1.89 meters tall. None of them were easy to deal with and it was obvious that they were not doing serious work.
If they detained me, I wouldn't be able to escape.
Ye Xiaotong beside her couldn't wait any longer and said calmly, "Have you thought it through? What are you going to do?"
Tang Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and decided that he definitely couldn't agree to work to pay off his debts, otherwise he would lose his freedom for two or three years and would be exhausted.
He thought for a moment and said, "I need to discuss this with my wife and sister. Manager Ye, for the sake of our fellow countrymen, how about giving me three days to think it over?"
"Okay, if you can't pay it back within three days, then you must accept my offer."
"That... Fine, I'll definitely find a way."
Ye Xiaotong asked everyone to leave without making things difficult for them.
One of the security guards whispered, "Manager Ye, the boss said he'd break his legs if he didn't return it. If we just leave like this, how are we going to explain this to the boss?"
What?
Tang Xiaoqiang turned pale with fright.
"It's okay, I'll go back and tell her."
Seeing them walking away, Tang Xiaoqiang collapsed on the sofa as if exhausted.
Tang's mother was still wiping her tears.
"Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang, what should I do? That much money, three days, where are you going to get that much money? If you can't pay it back after three days, they will force you to move the goods."
Tang's mother emphasized the word "catch".
Tang Xiaoqiang immediately thought of what Yang Guangzong had told him, about the days when he was tricked into mining.
Could that be done by a human?
Yang Guangzong said that rich people have no conscience, their hearts are full of money, and they only recognize money.
If I fall into their hands, I will probably be skinned alive if not killed.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Tang Xiaoqiang quickly changed his shoes and went out.
Tang's mother held him tightly, "Xiao Qiang, where are you going?"
"I'm so annoyed, but I can't die." Tang Xiaoqiang waved his hand to shake off Tang's mother, and ran to Yang Guangzong's house.
"Brother Yang, please lend me some money."
Yang Guangzong: "What are you going to do?"
Tang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to tell his ex-wife about the threats he had been facing. He only said, "My mother is sick and needs money urgently to go to the hospital. Lend me some money and I'll pay you back in a few days."
Tang Xiaoqiang also told Yang Guangzong about his mother's illness.
I was very surprised when I heard it at first, because Yang Guangzong had not returned yet and I didn't know whether it was true.
If it's true, I can only say that he is very sympathetic.
"How much?"
"Lend... lend me a hundred first."
"One hundred? Where can I get you one hundred? I don't have any."
"I saw you deposit 500 in the bank the other day."
"You know I deposited it in the bank, do I have to go and get it for you?"
Tang Xiaoqiang: "Yang Guang, thank you for your help. I work with you every day. You know, I can earn five or six yuan a day. It won't be long before I can pay it back."
When lending money to others, you naturally have to consider their ability to repay the loan.
As of now, Tang Xiaoqiang still has to go.
However, Yang Guangzong felt that it was impossible to change the route to get it.
He took out a handful of change from his pocket and gave fifty to Tang Xiaoqiang, "That's all. If it's not enough, you can find a way yourself."
Tang Xiaoqiang thought, it’s so late, the banks are closed, it’s probably too late to withdraw the money.
"Okay." Tang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and took the money. "Fifty is fifty, Brother Yang, thank you."
"Okay, take it and save your mother."
Fifty yuan was not a small amount, and considering he had some extra money on him, it was barely enough for his return fare.
Tang Xiaoqiang plans to run away tonight.
I don’t care about face anymore, the most important thing is to run away.
While everyone was asleep, he packed up his things and left secretly, and bought a ticket for the earliest train this morning.
I didn’t have a seat ticket, so I had to stand and walk.
When Tang Xiaofen and the others woke up the next day, they found the house empty.
Tang Xiaofen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, my eldest brother ran away."
"Run away? Good that he ran away, good that he ran away." Tang's mother let out a long sigh. "Your brother is just a bully at home."
…
Tang Xiaofen told Lin Yuyao and the others the good news that day.
"Thank you so much, he's finally gone."
Lin Yuyao: "Didn't you say your brother is difficult to deal with?"
"My mom says he's a bit of a bully. He was really quite vicious back home, always hanging around with a bunch of thugs. I noticed his temper changed on the first day he got here. Maybe he realized that Nancheng isn't our village, and he can't just do whatever he wants."
Lin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ye Xiaotong and said, "Not as good as Yang Guangzong."
When Yang Guangzong first arrived, he was very arrogant, but he was beaten over and over again before he slowly submitted.
