Chapter 8 Stockpiling. Borrowing money
Li Guoxi was a little bully, and he beat up seven or eight tutors. In order to make himself feel better, Chu An never cared about the classroom discipline during tutoring. He listened when he wanted to, and slept when he didn't want to.
On the eve of the exam, give him a set of test papers and just keep him in the top ten in the class.
Li Guoxi was not stupid either, so he naturally liked this kind of opportunistic approach. The two of them inexplicably reached some kind of consensus and lived in peace for almost a year.
Li Qing gave her a thumbs up and said, "Boss Li is nice to you for giving you leave."
Every time he came, he stood by the chest of drawers at the door, and the door was not closed tightly.
After all, Chu An lives alone. No matter how much she looks like a tomboy, she is still a little girl. Especially as she is getting older, she is afraid of people gossiping about her.
"Then let's switch?" Chu An felt sick at heart as he was helping the tiger to gain strength.
"No... I don't have your brain." Li Qing shook his head hurriedly, "Pour me a glass of water, I'm thirsty."
"Will you help me or not?" Chu An poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.
Li Qing took out a lollipop, gulped down some water, and stuffed the lollipop back into his mouth. "I've helped you many times, but this is a little dangerous. If you get caught, you'll be skinned alive. Even if you escape from City C, as long as you're still in China, they'll always find a way to find you."
He had worked in the micro-loan company run by the Li family and knew some inside information. He was also tricked once and accused of falsifying accounts.
How could he commit fraud when he didn't even have a client? However, his name was clearly shown on the account book, and there was a deficit of more than one million.
For this matter, Chu An helped him check the accounts for three days and three nights, and finally found the loophole. He followed the clues and caught Lao Liu who forged the signature.
The sixth child is really the sixth child in the family. He belongs to Li Congwen, the second son of Li Lao Da. The debts owed were all squandered by Li Congwen on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Recruiting Li Qing into Microloan was just to find someone to take the blame.
Li Qing was not a member of the Li family, and was unwilling to endure this humiliation, but with his strength at the time, resisting was undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg.
With Chu An's reminder, Li Qing successfully resolved the crisis by taking advantage of the internal conflicts of the Li family. Afterwards, he quickly resigned and went back to his old business - making fake certificates and matching cracks.
To thank her, Li Qing helped her get a fake ID card, university diploma, nutritionist certificate, disability certificate, and English Level 6 certificate for free. With these certificates, she taught online classes in Internet cafes, wrote notes and homework for others, and earned a lot of money every month.
However, it was not so easy for Li Qing to sever his relationship with the Li family. As long as he was still surnamed Li and still lived in the village in the city, he could not escape the control of the Li family. In order to live a few days of peace, he became the subordinate of Li Laoer, the younger brother of Li Laoda.
Li Laoer had no special ability and was not in good health, but he was born into a good family. He was blessed by his parents before they died, and after they died, they left him a lot of money and transferred the slaughterhouse and orchard to his name, which allowed him to compete with his brother.
Li Qingming is the thug of Li Laoer on the surface, but in reality he earns his own money and spends it on his own, and manages his own subordinates. He just needs to pay a small amount of money to Li Laoer every month.
Back to the present, Chu An was silent for a while. Although the end of the world is about to come, what if the Li family is desperate and insists on taking revenge?
"What do you want the money for? I still have some and can lend it to you." Li Qing guessed that she might have encountered difficulties.
Chu An didn't want to tell him about his rebirth for the time being, regardless of trust or not. So he said, "Have you seen the posts online? Some people say that the world is going to end. I want to prepare some supplies."
Li Qing was amused, and actually dug out the post Chu An posted in the afternoon, "Are you talking about this?"
He handed the phone to Chu An. There were already more than 10,000 comments under the post.
"Master, can you predict the next lottery number?"
"Another attention seeker. People these days are crazy about being famous. If the world really ends, the first to die will be people like you who hang out on the Internet every day."
"Uncle police, we caught a rumormonger." He also @ed the C City Internet Police.
"It's a punishment. It's a real punishment."
"Let's ask for the next lottery number."
Chu An took a quick look and found that most of the messages were teasing, with only a few containing harsh words. This was within her expectations.
She handed the phone back and saw Li Qing secretly laughing, so she rolled her eyes at him.
"I just want to cheat the Li family out of some money, is that not okay?" Chu An didn't care what he thought, "I tutored his grandson for a year for nothing."
"This is indeed a loss. Brother Qing will treat you to a barbecue tomorrow to make it up to you."
Chu An was not in the mood to eat barbecue now, so he changed the subject and said, "You said you can lend me money, how much can you lend me?"
Li Qing did not hide it, "Eighty thousand, all my savings."
Chu An raised his eyebrows. Eighty thousand was indeed a lot. He thought it was only eight thousand.
Li Qing has many subordinates and high expenses. Most of his subordinates are from urban villages, and most of them have not finished junior high school.
Some people whose parents are still around can give gifts to others to teach them a skill and open a small shop. Those who don't have parents can only move bricks, serve dishes, wash dishes, or work as waiters.
There are also some people who have no ability and don't want to endure hardship, so they go astray and go far away.
Li Qing has no way to deal with those who have gone astray or too far, but he has to give a hand to those who are still lingering on the edge.
Some children are too young and have never seen the world, so when they go out to work, they are either cheated by their employers or beaten by their peers.
Even if all my money is lost, I can't starve to death. Li Qing will give it to me.
Even if someone was beaten, he could not allow others to bully him. Li Qing stepped forward and paid for the medical expenses.
There are also those who want to get married without even being able to afford to rent a house. Li Qing has to take care of them too, and they still have to buy milk powder after a year after renting a house.
However, all the younger brothers who had received his favor followed him sincerely. As long as he said a word, they would pick up their machetes and chop people without asking any questions.
After Li Qing's mother passed away, he would occasionally bring a few close friends home for dinner. When Chu An was bored, he would go there for dinner, and then listen to them talk, brag, and have fun, which was quite interesting.
If they can live a decent life, no one wants to be a rubbish looked down upon by others in the urban village. But they grow up here, with no money to go to school, no one to teach them skills, and no one to tell them what their dreams are.
They have no skills, so if they go out to work, they will be called scum, and will either be looked down upon or bullied. It is better for them to stick together for warmth.
Chu An could understand them, but had no way to integrate with them. She had the ability to leave here. She wanted to move forward and see how big the world was and how far she could go with her own abilities.
Therefore, she regarded the urban village as a temporary residence and Li Qing as a reliable neighbor.
In my previous life, it was not until I completely lost everyone that I realized how precious the warmth they once gave me was.
Chu An collected his thoughts and said calmly, "You keep some, and put the rest into my card."
