The food stall owner chuckled and said, "The location here isn't great, but you don't have to pay a stall fee here. If you set up your stall inside the food street, you have to pay a stall fee. So, all things considered, whether I set up inside or outside, the income is actually about the same."
"So how much do you earn in a month?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
"Six or seven thousand, that's not bad," the food stall owner replied.
This income is only considered average in Zhongzhou City, neither high nor low.
The food stall owner was busy again, so Ye Feng didn't ask any more questions and ate with Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.
The meal was almost over, and we had almost finished the beer we ordered.
Ye Feng then took out his phone to scan the QR code and pay.
However, at that moment, a group of young people from the community walked over from a distance.
There were about ten young people in that group, all of whom had dyed their hair in various colors, making them look like members of the "Funeral Love Family" (a term referring to a group of young people involved in crime).
As soon as they arrived at the food stall, the young man with blond hair who was leading the group kicked over the table on the far side and shouted, "Li Qingshan, it's time to pay back the money!"
The food stall owner, Li Qingshan, paled and hurriedly ran to the blond-haired youth, forcing a fawning smile as he said, "Brother Huang, give me a little more time, I'm a bit short on cash lately..."
"Fuck you!"
The blond-haired youth kicked Li Qingshan to the ground, and other young men from the community surrounded him, rolling up their sleeves as if they were about to beat him up.
"Last month when we asked you, you said you'd pay it back this month, but now you're saying you're short on cash. I bet you don't want to pay it back! If you miss, just say so, and I'll send you to the Western Paradise!"
As soon as the blond-haired youth finished speaking, he kicked Li Qingshan several times.
"Don't hit my dad! You bunch of bad guys..."
Ya Ya yelled and pounced on the blond-haired youth, even biting him on the arm.
"You little brat, you dare to bite me? Fine, I'll kill you and your daughter right here today!"
As he spoke, the blond-haired youth grabbed Ya Ya by the neck.
Ya Ya started wailing. Seeing this, Li Qingshan quickly got up from the ground, trying to fight back and save his daughter.
But how could he possibly be a match for so many young people from society all by himself?
In just a short while, Li Qingshan was beaten bloody and covered in wounds by the blond youth's henchmen!
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing could no longer bear to watch.
"Night Wind, hurry up and do it!"
"What are you still looking at!"
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing urged.
Night Wind then stood up and shouted, "Stop!"
The blond-haired youth and his men all looked towards Ye Feng.
"Release that girl," Ye Feng said coldly.
"Dare to order me around? Who do you think you are!" the blond-haired youth said with a sneer.
"I'll say it again, release her immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite," Ye Feng said, frowning.
"I'll see how you dare to be impolite! Come on, all of you, get him! Beat this meddlesome bastard so badly his own mother won't recognize him!"
At the command of the blond-haired youth, the dozen or so thugs rushed towards Ye Feng.
But how could these people possibly be a match for Ye Feng?
Ye Feng didn't even need to use one ten-thousandth of his strength to utterly defeat them!
Half a minute later, all ten or so young men were lying on the ground groaning in pain, looking like dead dogs.
Of the young men still standing, only the blond-haired one remains.
The blond-haired man stared at Ye Feng in terror, his face filled with disbelief: "You...who exactly are you?"
"You have no right to know who I am. Release this little girl right now!" Ye Feng said, emphasizing his words.
The blond-haired youth swallowed hard, then released his grip.
Ya Ya wiped away her tears and ran to Li Qingshan, asking, "Dad, are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?"
"I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital," Li Qingshan said, waving his hand.
Ye Feng glanced at Li Qingshan and saw that although Li Qingshan's head was bleeding, it was all external injuries and his injuries were not serious.
So Ye Feng shouted, "Get out of here, all of you! If I ever see you causing trouble here again, you won't be leaving alive!"
The blond-haired youth turned and ran, while the other young men also got up from the ground and helped each other away in a disheveled state.
The way the blond-haired youth and his men fled was like a pack of stray dogs being chased away, utterly pathetic.
"Li Qingshan, what exactly is going on?" Ye Feng asked.
Li Qingshan first thanked him, then said, "Sigh, those gangsters are all Zhao Zhenglong's men. I owe Zhao Zhenglong money and can't pay it back, so they come to cause me trouble every now and then... I'm used to it."
"Who is Zhao Zhenglong? How much money do you owe him?" Jiang Lingxuan asked as she walked over.
Li Qingshan then began to explain from beginning to end.
Zhao Zhenglong is the owner of Zhenglong Nightclub in Zhongzhou City.
Zhao Zhenglong was a taxi driver in his early years. Later, he gathered a group of people to form a criminal gang, which gradually grew in size and influence.
Now, Zhao Zhenglong's Zhenglong Group has become the largest criminal gang in the entire Zhongzhou City, with more than 500 members!
Zhenglong Nightclub is the headquarters of the Zhenglong Group!
The reason Li Qingshan owed Zhao Zhenglong money was because his wife had leukemia.
In order to treat his wife's illness, Li Qingshan had no choice but to borrow money from Zhao Zhenglong. He borrowed a total of 200,000 yuan from Zhao Zhenglong, but after spending all the borrowed money, his wife's illness still could not be cured, and she eventually passed away.
"How much money have you paid back so far?" Ye Feng asked.
"I've already paid back 350,000," Li Qingshan said with a worried expression.
"What?"
Jiang Lingxuan was taken aback: "Didn't you only borrow 200,000? How come you've paid back 350,000? And you haven't even paid it all back yet?"
"There's nothing I can do, I was tricked by that bastard Zhao Zhenglong." Li Qingshan couldn't hold back any longer and began to sob softly.
Li Qingshan's intermittent explanation finally clarified the matter.
It turns out that when Li Qingshan borrowed the money, Zhao Zhenglong said the annual interest rate would be 10%.
Although the 10% interest rate was high, it was still acceptable, so Li Qingshan agreed and signed a loan agreement with Zhao Zhenglong.
But when Li Qingshan started repaying the money, he discovered that although the interest rate in the contract was 10%, it was not an annual interest rate, but a monthly interest rate!
A loan of 200,000 yuan with an annual interest rate of 10% will amount to 220,000 yuan after one year, including principal and interest.
But a monthly interest rate of 10% is terrifying!
The interest for one month is 20,000, and for twelve months in a year it is 240,000. After a year, the principal and interest together amount to 440,000!
That's doubled!
It would be truly strange if Li Qingshan could repay it!
