When you're broke, call him "Third Brother"; when you win, call him "Oldest Brother"!
Zhang Laosan had long disliked Jia Dongxu!
It's fortunate that Jia Dongxu has become a good-for-nothing and will never make a fortune in this life, otherwise he would definitely look down on this and that.
"So what if I scold you!"
Jia Dongxu was incredibly arrogant at this point, pointing his finger at Zhang Laosan and starting to rant.
"You bastard, if you hadn't taken me to gamble, I wouldn't have lost so much money. Now I have to sell my house to raise money!"
"I don't care, you have to split the 1,500 yuan in half for me, or I won't let you off the hook!"
What is that?
Zhang Laosan was completely stunned by Jia Dongxu's scolding.
They actually want to split the money I lost at the casino with them?
This was the first time in his life he had ever heard such a shameless request.
"Jia Dongxu, you have no shame at all! You ask me to split your losses, but when you won, why didn't you offer to share half with me?!" Zhang Laosan stepped forward and grabbed Jia Dongxu by the collar, saying viciously, "If you don't pay back your money today, Brother Hu will skin you alive!"
"By the way, you haven't heard about Tiger's methods yet. Let me tell you, Tiger has chopped off more fingers than you've eaten chicken feet!"
After saying that, Zhang Laosan reached out and slapped Jia Dongxu.
"I don't care, you have to take responsibility for my actions!" Jia Dongxu, who had just been slapped, stopped yelling and grabbed Zhang Laosan's hand, refusing to let go.
Although he knew that Zhang Laosan would not help him pay off his debt, he knew that he could not possibly raise the 1,500 yuan debt.
So we have to find someone to share the burden.
Zhang Laosan was the one who led him to gamble, so he has to take responsibility.
Otherwise, Tiger would have chopped off his fingers too.
As for reporting to the authorities, Jia Dongxu had considered it, but he was worried that it would anger Tiger and his gang. Those people were capable of anything, and he might end up being tied up and dumped on the ground one night.
"Go dream about eating dog shit!" Zhang Laosan forcefully pulled his hand away, then looked at Jia Dongxu with a mocking expression: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't pay it back, you can use other methods to settle the debt!"
"What method?"
Jia Dongxu instantly became excited. He couldn't possibly scrape together 1,500 yuan no matter what. If he could find another way to solve the problem, he would be willing to kowtow to anyone.
"Didn't Brother Guang already tell you?" Zhang Laosan licked his lips in a somewhat lewd manner.
Ever since he rented the house to Jia Dongxu, he's been running into Qin Huairu every day, and that big-assed Zhang Laosan is drooling with desire.
Jia Dongxu: ......
Taking Qin Huairu to the factory to pay off debts?
Even a fool could guess what Guang Ge and his gang were up to.
Regardless of whether Qin Huairu was willing or not, Jia Dongxu would never push Qin Huairu into a fire pit.
If he really did that, Jia Dongxu would never be able to hold his head high again.
"Zhang Laosan, I curse your ancestors!"
Suddenly, Jia Dongxu switched to berserk mode again, unleashing a barrage of insults and curses at Zhang Laosan.
Zhang Laosan, who had been spat on in the face, didn't tolerate Jia Dongxu's behavior and shouted that he would take him to Brother Hu's place to play the finger-chopping game.
"If you dare push me out the door, I'll tell your wife about this, and tell everyone in the yard, so they can see what kind of person you are!" Jia Dongxu threatened, his eyes bloodshot.
He dares not leave the courtyard house now, otherwise he will most likely be taken away by Tiger's men.
Zhang Laosan is usually a good-for-nothing who spends his days idly, but he is a henpecked husband. So when he heard that Jia Dongxu was going to tell his wife about the matter, he immediately let go of the handles of his wheelchair.
"Heh, you think you can get away with it by hiding at home?" Zhang Laosan sneered. "Tiger's methods are beyond your imagination."
After saying that, he shook his head and went home.
His main task now is to keep a close eye on Jia Dongxu to prevent him from running away and abandoning the family. He doesn't need to worry about anything else.
"What's all the noise about so early in the morning?"
Hearing the commotion, Uncle Yan Bugui slowly walked out of the house.
"Uncle, are you buying a house?"
ah?
Yan Bugui carefully examined Jia Dongxu, and after confirming that he was not joking, he asked, "Why would you want to sell the house all of a sudden?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Five hundred and fifty yuan, just five hundred and fifty yuan, and my house is yours." Jia Dongxu didn't want to explain, he just wanted to make a offer.
Originally, Jia Dongxu wanted to pay off part of the debt first, and then discuss with Brother Hu about paying off the rest gradually, or at worst, make an installment plan.
But when Jia Dongxu heard Zhang Laosan say that Tiger had chopped off more fingers than he had ever eaten chicken feet, he chickened out.
He felt that if he went to pay off his debts with just over 500 yuan, he would most likely have his fingers chopped off.
My legs are already useless. If I lose my fingers too, I'll be completely useless and won't even be able to take care of myself when I eat.
So he planned to sell the house, then sneak out of the city at night to avoid trouble in Qin Family Village.
Five hundred yuan is a huge sum of money. If a family of three is frugal, they can make ends meet for a few years. He doesn't believe that Brother Hu can find Qin Family Village.
"Five hundred and fifty? Didn't you buy it for six hundred yuan? Why are you selling it at a loss?" The shrewd Yan Bugui immediately noticed something was wrong.
He may like to take advantage of small things, but that doesn't mean he'll fall into a big trap because of them.
There's no such thing as a free lunch or a pie falling from the sky; Yan Bugui understood this better than anyone else.
"Oh, never mind that! Just give me five hundred and fifty, do you want it or not? If not, I'll go find someone else." Jia Dongxu used a feigned retreat to provoke Yan Bugui.
But Yan Bugui wasn't fooled at all, and waved his hand: "Go on, go on, Jiefang and Jiekuang are still young, our family doesn't lack houses right now."
have to!
Seeing that Yan Bugui didn't want to buy it, Jia Dongxu went home with a long face.
Once inside, Qin Huairu had already prepared breakfast. Seeing Jia Dongxu return, she placed a bowl of egg noodles in front of him.
"Dongxu, eat it while it's hot. I specially poached an egg for you."
"hold head high!"
Jia Dongxu replied absentmindedly, then wolfed down his food, instructing Qin Huairu to go to the street office and ask if anyone wanted to buy their house.
Upon hearing that Jia Dongxu was going to sell the house again, Qin Huairu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She sensed something was wrong when she was helping Jia Dongxu get dressed; he had clearly been beaten up.
Now they need to sell the house again.
Could it be that he offended someone while making money yesterday?
"Dongxu, is something wrong?" Qin Huairu asked.
"Never mind all that. Go to the neighborhood office now and set the price of the house at 500. As long as someone buys it, we'll sell it and then go back to the countryside to live for a while." Jia Dongxu didn't want to explain too much.
