Luo Jingyan then turned her head and looked at Zhuang Feifei with a sorrowful expression.
She sighed and said, "Old Hei, you are my most trusted partner. I hope you can understand me, believe me, and continue doing business with me. Here's what happened. Let me tell you in detail. My two good-for-nothing brothers went gambling a few days ago. They're both short-sighted and got lured into betting big, then they were cheated and lost everything, owing someone 50,000 yuan in gambling debts."
They said we had to pay it back within a month. If we didn't, they'd take one of my brothers' hands each; if we didn't pay it back by the second month, they'd chop off another hand; and if we still couldn't pay it back after two months, they'd chop off one of each of our feet. Those people outnumbered us and were incredibly ruthless; they were capable of anything. My brothers may be disappointing, but they're still my blood relatives, and I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. So, I had to use some of the payment for the goods to cover it up. Old Hei, it's a matter of life and death; I had no choice. I couldn't just watch them have their hands and feet chopped off.”
Zhuang Feifei has always been indifferent. After listening to Luo Jingyan's long grievances, she remained unmoved. She didn't care about other people's life, death, or fortune; she only cared about her own interests.
"Old Dong, since you only gave me 15,000, then take 15,000 worth of goods with you, and leave the rest for me."
Luo Jingyan knew it wouldn't be so easy to take Zhuang Feifei's things away. Even an ordinary person wouldn't hand over tens of thousands of yuan worth of goods just because of a few words from the other party, unless they were out of their mind.
Therefore, she came here well-prepared.
If a few words couldn't sway Zhuang Feifei, then she'd have to resort to something drastic.
So she continued to feign pitifulness towards Zhuang Feifei: "Old Hei, after all I've said, can't you understand my predicament? I'm in dire straits right now and desperately need supplies. I can only pay those people back after I sell all these goods. After I've sold them all, I can also pay you back the rest of the money. Old Hei, considering our acquaintance and the pleasant cooperation we've had before, you must help me and let me buy these goods on credit, okay? Once I've sold them all, I will definitely pay you back the remaining money as soon as possible. Old Hei, I, Lao Dong, always keep my word. I really don't want to lose a big customer like you, and you probably don't want to lose a very trustworthy partner like me either."
Zhuang Feifei hesitated. She had indeed thought Lao Dong was very reliable, but this was a 30,000 yuan worth of goods. Their transaction was being conducted secretly, and there was no guarantor in the middle. She was worried about rashly giving the goods to Lao Dong on credit. After all, you can't judge a book by its cover. What if Lao Dong was lying, and he wasn't short of money but just wanted to swindle the goods from her? So, it was still very risky.
She comes to the black market to make money; she won't do anything that loses money.
Luo Jingyan stared intently at her, carefully observing the changes in her expression and attitude.
If this woman agrees, everything will be fine; if she doesn't, well, you'll have to take a punch from her first before she takes the goods away.
"Old Hei, I'm begging you, I'm really having a cash flow problem, I'm in real trouble, Old Hei, you have to understand me and help me."
Zhuang Feifei pondered the current situation. On one hand, she was afraid that Lao Dong would try to cheat her, but on the other hand, she was concerned about Lao Dong's past integrity and reliability and did not want to lose Lao Dong as a partner. She was torn and caught in a dilemma.
Seeing her hesitation, Luo Jingyan had no choice but to use her trump card: "Old Hei, what do you want me to believe you?"
She seemed flustered and unsure how to explain, "I know that just my words might not be enough to convince you. So, I can only prove my sincerity to you through my actions."
The next second, she reached into her pocket with one hand and pulled out a sharp pair of scissors. She then raised her other hand and pointed the blade of the scissors at the palm of the other hand.
Zhuang Feifei looked surprised. She wondered if Lao Dong was going to harm himself. But she didn't stop him. She wouldn't soften her heart just because of one of his actions.
wipe!
Luo Jingyan didn't even glance at Zhuang Feifei. She swung the scissors and slashed at the palm of the hand. The sharp tip easily pierced the skin, creating a gash that caused blood to gush out, a horrifying sight.
Luo Jingyan didn't even blink. Holding up her injured hand, she asked Zhuang Feifei, "Old Hei, you should believe me now, right?"
However, Zhuang Feifei's heart was harder than a stone in a latrine. If it were a soft-hearted and kind girl, she would definitely soften when she saw someone harming themselves like that.
Zhuang Feifei was still hesitant and refused to agree.
Seeing that she still refused to agree, Luo Jingyan had no choice but to use another tactic.
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; she was determined to go all out.
"Old Hei, I had no other choice. If there had been any other way, I wouldn't have done this."
She had just cut her palm with the scissors when she moved them to the little finger of the other hand, opening the scissors to trap the little finger between them.
With a snap, a piece of a little finger was severed as the scissors blades came together, rolling bloodily to the ground, with a lot of blood flowing from the cut.
Ke Luo Jingyan did not stop her self-harming actions. As if she had made up her mind, she would keep cutting unless Zhuang Feifei told her to stop.
Then, I cut the second one, the third one...
"Old Black, I'll stop when you nod."
Zhuang Feifei was afraid that if Lao Dong continued to harm himself, he would become disabled. It wasn't that she felt sorry for Lao Dong, but she was afraid that if Lao Dong became disabled, his business ability would decrease. She was also afraid that she would be too heartless and end the cooperation with Lao Dong.
Old Dong had already made a cut on his palm and cut off three fingers. If he wasn't really in a difficult situation and forced to do something against his will, who would be so cruel as to harm himself?
