Chapter 9: Who is screaming and crying?
"Mom, the matter has been handled. Tan Yanxiang has signed the settlement agreement." Deng Xiuzhen's words made He Taozhen stop.
But after he came to his senses, he still hit Deng Xiuzhen with the broom, cursing as he did so: "You dead woman, you short-lived bastard, you nail-box bastard, I will beat you to death!"
"Mom, don't do that." Tan Yanlin snatched the broom.
"You two unfilial things, you want to piss me off to death." He Taoxiu sat on the ground and cried loudly.
The sound immediately attracted a group of people, and people were standing at the door and windows, staring at the excitement.
In the past, whenever He Taoxiu used this trick, Deng Xiuzhen and Tan Yanlin would definitely help their mother up and explain to others with a smile. After all, business people need credibility and face.
To He Taoxiu's surprise, the trick that had always worked before failed this time.
Tan Yanlin did not move. Deng Xiuzhen walked over to He Taoxiu and squatted down. She did not help her but whispered to her, "If mom continues to make a fuss, I will tell everyone about how my eldest brother and his wife colluded with others to blackmail me!"
"You dare!" He Taoxiu shouted angrily.
"Do you think I dare?" Deng Xiuzhen felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She was absolutely sure that her mother knew about it. She knew that her son was blackmailing her daughter, but she still came to put pressure on her. She was helping her son to blackmail her daughter!
He Taoxiu stared at her daughter, trying to threaten her into submission with her eyes.
It is said that a father loves his eldest grandson and a mother loves her youngest child, but she loves both her eldest son and her youngest son to the core of her heart, but not her daughter.
Deng Xiuzhen looked back quietly, with a smile on her face but cold eyes. He Taoxiu suddenly realized that Deng Xiuzhen was really daring, and very daring.
What to do? She wanted to falsely accuse Tan Yanlin of beating her down, but Tan Yanlin's filial piety was known to everyone within a hundred miles. If he said he beat her, no one would believe it, but if he said he helped her, everyone would believe it.
She wanted to say that it was Deng Xiuzhen who pushed her, but that didn't work. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, at least Deng Xiuzhen had just walked over.
She couldn't get this mud on them.
She wanted to continue to force her daughter to pay under the pretext of dealing with something, but she subconsciously felt that this would not work and she couldn't do it. Otherwise, her daughter would really tear her apart and expose what her son and his wife had done. Then where would she and her son put their faces?
After a few thoughts, He Taoxiu weighed the pros and cons, and climbed up by holding Deng Xiuzhen's hand.
"Mom, please be careful, the ground is a bit uneven." Deng Xiuzhen said loudly.
He Taoxiu didn't say anything, just made a "hmm" sound through her nose, then walked to the chair and sat down.
"Mom!" Deng Chunlin shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Mom is fine, don't worry." He Taoxiu knew what her son wanted to say and interrupted him in time.
The people outside the door and by the window saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, so they all went back.
Anyone who didn't make it to the front line asked: What's going on? Who's screaming and crying?
Someone answered: It’s okay, Deng Xiuying’s mother fell down.
Some people compared it with the truth and said: That was a false impression. The old woman was probably playing tricks and was controlled by Xiuzhen, so she couldn't howl anymore.
…
The people outside the door gossiped quietly.
The people inside the door looked at each other with disgust.
He Taoxiu followed the principle of never giving up and used both soft and hard tactics, using all kinds of tricks. Deng Chunlin and Song Yuanxiang played supporting roles and provided all kinds of assists. It was a pity that Deng Xiuzhen was outnumbered, and she was able to handle all the tricks with ease.
Tan Yanlin was stunned. He had always known that Deng Xiuzhen was similar to Deng Chunlin in many ways, especially in terms of being a bully at home. They were almost 100% alike.
The only difference is that Deng Chunlin is a son. He can be bossy not only in his own small family, but also in front of his parents and his two younger sisters.
As for Deng Xiuzhen, she was only arrogant in front of Tan Yanlin. In front of outsiders, especially her family, she was a lamb to be slaughtered.
So although he gave in to Deng Xiuzhen in every way, he didn't let her control the money. The money Deng Xiuzhen could spend could not exceed one thousand a year. This was Tan Yanlin's bottom line: If you want to support your parents, you can, but don't overdo it, because we still have to make a living and have children to raise.
Tan Yanlin never thought that one day Deng Xiuzhen would go against her own family for the sake of her own family.
Seeing that she was getting nowhere, He Taoxiu was so angry that she didn't even eat lunch and left angrily with Deng Chunlin and the others.
"Where are the children?" Deng Xiuzhen asked after they left.
"They are at Xiu Wen's house. Things have been uneasy at home recently, and I don't want to involve the children. As long as they don't have to go to school, I will send them to Xiu Wen's house early. The children at Xiu Wen's house get along well with them. When things are settled, I will bring some gifts to thank Xiu Wen." Qin Yanlin explained patiently.
"I thought they were in school." Deng Xiuzhen laughed.
"How can we go to school every day? We definitely don't go to school on weekends." Qin Yanlin picked up the broom and put it against the wall.
In the future, children will not only go to school every day, but also need to be picked up and dropped off every day. Deng Xiuzhen muttered in her heart, but did not say it out loud. She turned and went to the kitchen. It was time for lunch.
Deng Chunlin was a little dissatisfied. Why didn't he get the loan this time? He had a very profitable project waiting for the funds to start.
Qin Xiubing introduced him to He Laowu from Yuqiao Town, and he lent money at high interest rates in He Laowu's casino, with a daily interest rate of up to 10%. His family could raise more than 3,000 yuan, and if Deng Xiuzhen could lend him 10,000 yuan, he would have more than 13,000 yuan. If he could lend it out, the interest would be more than 1,300 yuan a day. After deducting the money he paid to the casino and the debt collection gang, he could still earn several hundred yuan a day.
He had seen the casinos. The moneylenders carried a big bag with money in it. If a dealer lost all his money, he would ask someone to lend it to him. After signing the agreement and lending the money, he could go to collect the debt the next day. If he could get it back, he would earn a 10% commission per day. If he couldn't get it back, he would go to the debt collectors. They could get it back 99.999% of the time, but the one in a thousand couldn't pay it back and had their hands and feet crippled.
Sometimes the bosses or customers who made their money back on the spot paid off their debts right away, and that money came really fast. He once saw Li Feng earn more than 700 yuan in one morning, with 1,000 yuan in his left hand and 1,100 yuan in his right hand. That scene was really enviable.
If it weren't for the casino rules that no one is allowed to lend money without more than 10,000 yuan in cash, would he have to find Deng Xiuzhen?
It is difficult to find a way, and many people cannot lend money even if they have money. If it weren't for Qin Xiubing's wide connections, such a good thing would not have happened to him.
Qin Xiubing was good to him and gave him the opportunity to make money, so he had to know what was good for him.
Otherwise, if Qin Xiubing went with him to see what happened at the construction site, and ran too fast to the edge of the pit and accidentally knocked him down, causing him to fall into the pit, he would definitely make a fuss.
However, he probably can't make a fuss, because Qin Xiubing is a bit crooked. If he dares to make a fuss, Qin Xiubing probably won't let him off easily.
It’s all because Xiuzhen was so bold as to not lend him the money!
She really wants to be beaten! Oh, if I wasn’t afraid of being beaten by Tan Yanlin, I would definitely beat Xiuzhen to my heart’s content!
Deng Chunlin was thinking about his worries all the way, secretly venting his anger in his heart.
He Taoxiu was so busy being angry that she didn't pay attention to anything else.
Only Song Yuanxiang walked cautiously while peeking at their faces. Song Yuanxiang was afraid and aggrieved. She was afraid that Deng Chunsheng would beat her and that He Taoxiu would scold her. She felt aggrieved because she wondered how the naive Deng Xiuzhen could suddenly change and become so difficult to deal with. She refused to listen to any tricks or threats, and she didn't know where to start.
The three people here each had their own thoughts and were shrouded in worry.
On the other side, Qin Yanlin and Deng Xiuzhen felt that life was particularly good and they were simply overjoyed: the blackmailer had run away, the goods had been sold, and in a few days someone would come to take over the supply and marketing cooperative's store and housing. All problems were perfectly solved.
The future is unpredictable, but full of hope.
