"Bah, I don't know where Jia Zhang is. These accounts will be blamed on the Jia family. You will be responsible if she is not here!" Although the Jia family had never lent anything to Xu Damao, it did not stop Xu Damao from yelling.
"We don't have that much food at home!"
Qin Huairu really shed tears this time. The people in the courtyard came together to settle the score with their family, but even if they had two hundred yuan in assets, they couldn't settle the matter.
She had borrowed so much before that Qin Huairu couldn't remember how much she had borrowed.
The earliest account may have been settled several years ago.
When Jia Zhang borrowed grain from her, she never thought about paying it back. She thought that if she delayed it for too long, it would become a bad debt, so she had no intention of paying it back.
Even if someone came to collect the debt, Jia Zhang would ask Qin Huairu to act pitiful and say that her family was in financial difficulty. After a long time, no one came to collect the debt.
Because of this, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu tasted the sweetness.
When the family was short of something, they would borrow some from others. Except for Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu's family, the Jia family would not borrow money from others, only food.
According to common sense, if you owe so much food to so many people, you should keep a low profile or be quiet in order not to attract other people's attention.
But Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were different. They seemed to have forgotten about it right after they borrowed the money.
As time went by, the debts accumulated and the neighbors in the courtyard became more and more resentful, so He Daqing took the lead and the people in the courtyard collectively went to Qin Huairu to collect the debts.
"The more I think about this, the angrier I get. We agreed to pay it back next month when I get paid, but it keeps coming back month after month. When I went to ask for it, Qin Huairu said she had no food, and Jia Zhang even called me heartless."
"That's right. They say people should keep their word. The Jia family has no word of credibility at all."
"Give me back my cornmeal, not even an ounce less!"
"My two-pack of noodles can't be missing either. While everyone is here, Qin Huairu, please settle the bill for everyone."
It would be fine if the Jia family really had no money.
But Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu have already started discussing buying a wheelchair, how could they not have money!
He clearly has the money, but he refuses to pay it. Anyone who encounters this will be angry.
Qin Huairu was surrounded in the middle, listening to the dissatisfied voices of the residents, tears falling down her face.
"There's no food. Our family has no food. We've used up all our food coupons for this month."
Qin Huairu wiped her tears and said, "I have a count of the food I borrowed from you. When I get the food coupons next month, I will definitely pay it back. If I can't pay it back in one month, I will pay it back in two months. If I can't pay it back in one year, I will pay it back in two years. I will definitely not refuse to pay it back."
At this time, Qin Huairu did not dare to say no, otherwise the Jia family would not be able to stay in the courtyard. She could only delay for a while and wait for Jia Zhang to come back.
Chen Jun watched Qin Huairu being surrounded from afar and couldn't help but snort coldly.
Serves you right!
I always think that others are fools and take advantage of them. Now I am getting my retribution.
In fact, the culprit in this matter is Jia Zhang, but who made Jia Zhang squat under the fence? Otherwise, it would be Jia Zhang who was surrounded today.
Why!
Not absolutely.
If it was Jia Zhang, the people in the courtyard might not dare to ask Jia Zhang for food like this.
It can only be said that Qin Huairu was unlucky. When Jia Zhang was imprisoned, He Daqing came to collect debts from her.
"If you don't have food, you can pay with money!" Xu Damao shook his head and said, "Just pay according to the ghost market price."
"Xu Damao! I don't owe you food, do I?"
If the situation allowed, Qin Huairu really wanted to rush over and slap Xu Damao twice.
This guy is the most cheerful, the most evil-minded, and has the most bad ideas in the whole hospital.
After he reminded them, the people in the courtyard changed their tune and said that it was okay to not have food, as long as they paid back the money.
According to the ghost market prices, they can not only make back their investment, but even make a little profit.
"No money... Our family has no money... Wuuuu~!" Qin Huairu burst into tears.
"Why don't you have money? Didn't Xu Damao compensate you over a hundred yuan?"
"That's right, don't try to fool us."
"Qin Huairu, if you can't make the decision, take us to find Jia Dongxu."
"Yes, go find Jia Dongxu!"
As they spoke, the people present pushed Qin Huairu and headed towards the central courtyard in a large crowd.
Jia Dongxu, who had just heard the noise and realized something was wrong, wanted to go back to the house to hide, but without Qin Huairu, he didn't even have the ability to go back to the house, and could only watch himself being surrounded by people in the yard.
Being stared at by so many people, Jia Dongxu, who originally wanted to be tough, suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
If I don't admit this, these people will beat me, right?
He is a disabled person and can't stand being beaten!
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Damao squeezed to the front and looked down at everyone with his nose: "Jia Dongxu, you are a grown man, are you also learning to default on your debts like a woman?"
"Hey, if you refuse to pay, I, Xu Damao, will look down on you for the rest of my life. From now on, I will call you Jia Laizhan and your son Jia Laipi."
Seeing Xu Damao looking like he deserved a beating, Jia Dongxu was both angry and annoyed.
"Nonsense, am I, Jia Dongxu, such a person?"
Jia Dongxu, who had been held up, slapped his thigh fiercely: "It's just some food. Look at you useless people. Even if our Jia family is in trouble, we can't owe you a debt!"
After saying that, Jia Dongxu waved to Qin Huairu and said, "Go home and get the money. We'll settle the account today!"
The wealthy Jia Dongxu didn't care about these accounts at all.
He has more than 200 yuan now. How much are these corn flour and two-grain flour worth?
After paying off these debts, when Jia Zhang comes out of the trading floor, she will have a suitable excuse.
He came home to collect the debt. For the sake of the Jia family's reputation, we can't just ignore it, right?
As for how much debt you have paid back, doesn’t it all depend on your own words?
Moreover, they can use this as an excuse to get away with the letter of apology by saying that the family has paid off all the debts and no longer has enough money to buy the letter of apology.
It’s like killing two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth and looked at Xu Damao who was jumping up and down with disdain.
Um??
Xu Damao was also surprised. He didn't expect that Jia Dongxu was actually willing to repay the debt.
No, aren’t you afraid that Jia Zhang will hang you up and beat you after she gets out of prison?
The others were also stunned. They didn't expect that after He Daqing made such a fuss, they could actually get back the bad debts they had lent out before.
All of a sudden, the residents in the courtyard changed their tune.
"Well, if you ask me, it's Dongxu who's in charge. He's sensible."
"Well done, you didn't bring shame to the Jia family at all. If your father knew about this, he would definitely praise you as a real man."
"I've known for a long time that you, Jia Dongxu, are not a stingy person, and you won't refuse us this debt."
Listening to the flattery from the residents in the courtyard, Jia Dongxu raised his chin unconsciously.
For a moment, he felt that the Jia family had returned to the time when they were respected.
When was the last time you felt this way?
It was probably many years ago, when Lao Jia was still working in the factory, and the people in the yard were always polite to their family.
