Su He wasn't the only one worried about them; other families who had lent them money felt the same way.
Originally, everyone lent the money out of respect for Grandpa Huang, thinking that if they used the money to buy a job, the Huang family would have an extra source of income and wouldn't be afraid of not being able to pay it back.
But given the Huang family's current situation, it seems this money is going to be wasted!
Thinking this way, these families were unwilling. They weren't wealthy families, so why shouldn't they pay back?
But because they are old neighbors and see each other all the time, no one dares to ask for it.
So now they're all a bit hesitant, not knowing what to do.
However, before everyone could figure it out...
The Huang family is in trouble again!
That day, Su He had just gotten home from get off work when she heard from her grandmother that Grandpa Huang had suffered a stroke!
Su He could hardly believe it. "Really? Wasn't Grandpa Huang in good health? How could he have a stroke?"
"Sigh," Grandma Su sighed, "No matter how strong your body is, it can't withstand all this."
"What exactly happened? Everything was fine last night. Could it still be because of Huang Laosan?" Su He asked curiously.
Grandma Su shook her head. "It's related to Huang Laosan, but not entirely because of him."
Then I told her what happened.
It turns out that this morning, a group of debt collectors suddenly came to the courtyard. The group consisted of burly men with broad shoulders and thick waists.
The residents of the courtyard were all puzzled when they saw this, since these people looked like they were not to be trifled with. How did Grandpa Huang know them?
When Grandpa Huang came out, his eyes immediately darted away, as if he wanted them to come inside and talk.
However, these people did not agree and spoke up directly in the courtyard.
They soon learned that they were from the black market and had come to collect a debt from Grandpa Huang.
I don't know what Grandpa Huang was thinking before, he actually borrowed money from people in the black market. The amount was only 100 yuan, but he had to pay back 120 yuan a year later.
Now that people have heard that his family is in trouble, they are afraid that he won't be able to repay the money and will go back on his word, so they have come to collect the debt.
Fortunately, these people were reasonable and knew that it was against the rules to ask for the debt in advance, so they only asked for the principal.
Make him pay back the money immediately!
But Grandpa Huang had no money to pay back. Those people in the black market deliberately talked about it in the yard to make sure he wouldn't pay, so that all the neighbors knew about it.
Grandpa Huang felt ashamed, especially since these people were deliberately trying to scare him, saying things like he would be in trouble if he didn't comply.
Overwhelmed with anger, Grandpa Huang couldn't catch his breath and fainted.
The black market people stopped when they saw this, but they also said they would come back tomorrow, and if they didn't return the money, they would come and cause trouble every day.
When Mr. Huang was taken to the hospital, the doctor saw that his mouth was crooked, he couldn't move his body, and he could barely speak, but it was hard to hear clearly.
The examination revealed a stroke, and all that could be done was to recover slowly.
...
Su He was astonished to find that so much money had been spent on the Huang family that day.
"What was Grandpa Huang thinking? Why did he borrow money on the black market? And how come I didn't know the black market offered this service? Isn't this just like loan sharking?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyan said, "Ordinary black markets wouldn't dare to do it. Usually, only those with powerful connections can do it, otherwise, people wouldn't dare to openly come to your door asking for money."
"That's true, sigh, this is a difficult situation. Fortunately, the black market only requires the initial investment, but the Huang family probably can't afford it."
"Yes," Grandma Su sighed, "but we can't just keep lending them money, can we? It's not a good idea to rob Peter to pay Paul. Everyone knows what their situation is like now, so who would dare lend them money?"
Furthermore, both Mr. and Mrs. Huang are in poor health now, and they're constantly seeing doctors and taking medicine, which will cost even more money. It seems the loan will be wasted, and I doubt we'll be able to get another one.”
