After thanking the driver from the Yu family, Qin Hongfei walked along the intact path and passed the He family. The front door of the He family was already full of potholes. The neighbors nearby complained, but they did not dare to complain to the Qin family, but to the He family.
Because it was Ms. He who bullied people first, if she did not chase them away, why would the Qin family want to dig the road. When she
returned home, Qin Hongfei found that Uncle Zhou was still there.
Uncle Zhou came with the same old problem and wanted to take them to Qin City.
Qin Hongfei replied in the same way, "Grandpa, I won't go to Qin City."
Uncle Zhou suddenly looked sad and insisted, "Don't you trust me? Do you think I can't take good care of you two sisters? Even if my son and daughter-in-law of the Zhou family don't want to accept you, Grandpa can still give you a very good living environment, live in a good house, read good books, eat well, drink well. If you don't go with me, how can I be worthy of your father." As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Concubine Qin also felt uncomfortable, "How about..."
Qin Hongfei said, "Use less garlic slices, you're old and your eyes will be damaged by the smoke. When you want to cry, you won't have a place to cry."
Uncle Zhou: "..."
Dongshi looked at the old man in surprise. No way, he's playing this trick at such an old age.
Uncle Zhou was seen through, and his face turned red.
Qin Hongfei looked at him seriously and said, "Stop making a fuss. I really won't go. Grandpa, I am very grateful that you consider us, but that is why you can't go. You have your own son, daughter-in-law, and grandson! You can't make them unhappy because of us."
Uncle Zhou is a good person.
Even if Qin Shizhou is a good person, if he took in two outsiders for no reason, anyone would have something to say. Even if they don't say anything for Uncle Zhou's sake, it will be inconvenient to have many things under someone else's roof. Otherwise, how can there be a saying that a nest of gold or silver is worse than a dog's nest.
Uncle Zhou saw that she had made up her mind and sighed, "Okay, if you don't want to go, then I'll pay off your mother's high-interest loan for you first, right? More than 500,000?"
He thought that if the debt was paid off, the two children would feel relieved.
More than 500,000 is a bit much.
He couldn't pay it back, but he had saved a lot of money from his children's filial piety over the years.
Qin Hongfei said, "No, the money has been paid off."
Uncle Zhou glared, "Don't make a fuss, either pay the money back or go to Qin City with me... What did you say? Pay it off?"
Qin Hongfei nodded, "Yes, it's paid off. It's not easy for you to save some money yourself, don't spend it all." More than 500,000, no matter how rich the Zhou family is, this is definitely a gift from the children's filial piety. The old man has this intention, and she is already very grateful, and there is no way she can move.
Looking at Uncle Zhou's legs, it was probably an old problem, knocking on them from time to time.
Uncle Zhou narrowed his eyes and said, "How can you pay off more than 500,000 yuan? Don't make a fuss."
Qin Hongfei was about to explain when someone knocked on the door. She guessed who it was: "Come in."
Yu Chi and Meng Yu came in one after another. Yu Chi handed the IOU to Qin Hongfei, "Ms. Qin, this is an IOU for a loan with high interest."
Qin Hongfei took a look at it. There was Xia Lu's signature and seal on it, and the principal was 120,000 yuan. "Thank you for your hard work."
She tore up the IOU directly.
Concubine Qin asked in a low voice, "Have you paid off the loan shark?"
Qin Hongfei said, "Yes, it's paid off. Who else does mom owe money to?" Xia Lu borrowed money from a wide range of people. In addition to the loan sharks, she also borrowed from relatives and friends. She also borrowed a lot from her second uncle in recent years, but she didn't know the exact amount. Concubine Qin might know. Now is the time to pay it off. Concubine
Qin said, "It's recorded in mom's account book."
Qin Hongfei said, "Look back."
It's said to be a huge sum of millions, but in fact, if the interest is not counted, it's only a few hundred thousand. For example, the loan sharks had rolled up to more than 500,000 before, but the actual principal was only 120,000. The reason why the interest was so high was because the interest rate was very high in that era.
Unlike the future, which is only 4 or 5 points, the bank interest rate is about 10 points if it is high, 7 or 8 points if it is low, and even higher for high-interest loans, so it has become a huge amount of money, which is why it is easier to talk about high-interest loans.
If it is not easy to talk about, the first wife has not had an easy time in recent years. This is also the reason why Qin Hongfei asked Yu Chi not to hit him when he made a move. It is natural to pay back debts. The other party relies on this business to make a living. Xia Lu borrowed the money herself, and the other party is willing to reduce part of it, which is already good.
Thinking about it, she looked at Uncle Zhou, "They are the people sent by my brother to protect me. They are very powerful. You don't have to worry about me being bullied here."
Uncle Zhou looked at Yu Chi and Meng Yu with scrutiny, and couldn't help saying, "This protection... there are only two of them. What if the previous people come again ?"
Qin Hongfei said, "It's okay. Ten Song Zhaolins are not a match for one of them."
She thought that the people sent by Ms. Tang should be reliable.
Meng Yu blinked, "Song Zhaolin? He won't come again. He was dismissed by the Jiang family."
Jiang Musheng was injured. Song Zhaolin went through so much trouble to find someone, but was fooled by a child. The Jiang family had already abandoned him.
Uncle Zhou couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?"
Qin Hongfei said, "Because she was sent by my brother."
Uncle Zhou was suspicious, "Qin Yan, can he contact you?"
Qin Hongfei nodded, "Yes, as long as I want." Anytime, anywhere.
Seeing that the old man still didn't believe it, she was still more patient with this old man who only cared about her sisters, "Can you show me your skills?" He was talking about Yu Chi and Meng Yu.
Yu Chi had never been questioned like this before, but he didn't have a temper, "How to show?"
At the door, a tall figure walked in and said, "Grandpa, let them split a brick with one hand for you to see, is that enough?"
Yu Chi and Meng Yu turned around and met Tang Jinnan's eyes, both surprised, "Jinnan..." The word "young master" was swallowed back by Tang Jinnan's eyes.
Qin Hongfei didn't care about this, "Brick splitting?... It seems possible."
Uncle Zhou looked at Yu Chi, splitting bricks, acting in a TV series, "Then let him split, if he can't split it, you come with me to Qin City?"
Tang Jinnan agreed for her, "Okay."
Qin Hongfei looked at him, and when their eyes met, she immediately felt relieved. Tang Xiaojin said it was okay, so he should be trustworthy.
The most abundant thing in the countryside is red tile bricks. Yu Chi went back to the yard to look around, moved three bricks together, and then split them directly with one palm. The three bricks were neatly cut in the middle, and his hand was not hurt at all.
Uncle Zhou struggled: "... No matter how powerful one person is, what if the other side comes with a lot of people?"
Meng Yu said very brightly, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm still here, I won't chop bricks, I'll kill a chicken for you to make up for it." As she said that, she swung the steel wire in her hand, and no one saw how she did it. Anyway, the chicken she caught didn't even make a sound, and it died directly.
