Actually, he'd been eyeing the Gu family's shop for quite some time. He'd even talked to Old Gu about buying it.
However, Old Gu refused to budge, and the terms remained unnecessarily agreed upon. It wasn't until he fell ill and was hospitalized that he realized his opportunity had arrived.
When the Gu family had almost run out of money, he came to their rescue by lending them a large sum of money.
Surprisingly, they've been holding on for more than half a year and still haven't shown any signs of selling the shop.
So, he secretly orchestrated a car accident to knock down Gu Anyi, so that his family would have to borrow money again and eventually have no choice but to give him the shop.
In addition, Gu Anyi is quite smart, so it would be even better if we could get him to work for free.
He had his plans in mind, but things changed yesterday, and Gu Anyi didn't come to see him.
Knowing he couldn't avoid it, Gu Anyi simply stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I'll have the money to pay you back in a few days. Please be lenient with me for another half month, for my father's sake."
"You little brat, do you think my money grows on trees? I waited at home for ages yesterday, and when you didn't show up, I knew you were up to some scoundrel." Guo Chenpi swung his right hand to grab his collar, but was blocked.
Su Chenhao casually pushed him away: "I'm this kid's brother. How much money does he owe you?"
"Brother? Whose brother are you?" Guo Chenpi looked him up and down. He definitely didn't recognize the man. Behind him was a pretty little girl.
He couldn't help but glance at her a couple more times, especially since her figure looked really good, but his view was blocked. The other man was tall and strong, so he couldn't push him away; he could only glare at him.
Su Chenhao took a step forward: "Who cares whose brother he is? I am his brother. Tell me, how much money does he owe you?"
He thought to himself, "No wonder it's a kid who's desperate and owed money to loan sharks. If this is a loan shark debt, it'll be hard to resolve. I have to find out the truth."
Gu Anyi stepped forward: "This is Uncle Guo, a friend of my father. He does pork wholesale at the Dongjiang Market. My mother was seriously ill, and I lent him about 150 yuan."
Yesterday I wanted to borrow money from a friend to pay him back, but my friend wouldn't lend me the money, and you know what happened next.
Su Chenhao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party was a friend, as long as it wasn't a loan shark: "Did you give him a written agreement?"
Gu Anyi nodded: "I wrote three IOUs in total. The first one was for fifty yuan, the second one was for thirty yuan, and the last one was for seventy yuan."
Su Chenhao felt he definitely had to pay back some money today, otherwise this person would be difficult to deal with.
"You remember things quite well, kid. When are you going to pay me back? I see this shop is all you have left. Why don't you sell the house to me?" Guo Chenpi revealed his plan, which was actually his original intention.
The young man in front of me looked intimidating, and I couldn't help but wonder how they knew each other.
“My family’s shop won’t sell. Uncle Guo, this is my dad’s decision,” Gu Anyi quickly replied. He didn’t want his newly acquainted brother to misunderstand, as the deal that had already been agreed upon had now gone wrong.
What if they don't want to rent the shop? What will he do then?
Su Chenhao: "He is my younger brother. He doesn't have any money right now, and I don't have much money on me either."
I think it would be better if you pay me back fifty yuan today. If you think that's acceptable, hand over the IOU he wrote, and I'll give you the money.
As for the remaining two payments, I'll pay you back in one lump sum in half a month. If you're okay with that, we can proceed with the transaction.
