"This IOU was brought by Zhou Erwa. It's in your name, so we're going to look for you."
If the guy with the short hair hadn't seen that there were so many people in the village, he would have already started to use violence to oppress them.
How could she say so much to him in such a sissy way?
"Youngest, did you really borrow money? You are a bad boy." Wang Ji Niang said as she approached him.
Wang Ji was still immersed in the scene of being cheated, standing there stupidly.
All of a sudden, the sound of Wang Ji Niang's collapse was heard in the yard.
Groups of villagers were standing in front of and behind their houses, and on the courtyard walls, whispering loudly.
Old man Wang's face turned pale and blue, and he felt embarrassed as the villagers pointed at him.
"That's enough!" Old Man Wang shouted loudly, and Stepmother Wang had to stop.
"Youngest, is this IOU yours?"
"Dad, I don't remember." Wang Ji lowered his head, looking guilty.
"Hurry up and return the money. My brothers are waiting anxiously." The thug next to the man with a crew cut urged.
The guy with the crew cut touched his head, impatience written on his face.
"I'm going to find Zhou Erwa! It's him! It must be him!!!" Wang Ji suddenly pushed through the crowd and ran out.
He soon disappeared.
Leaving his parents behind to deal with the debt collectors.
The man with the buzz cut slapped the younger brother on the head and said, "Why didn't you stop him?"
"Brother, he ran too fast, I didn't react."
The little brother who was slapped in the face touched his hurt head with a wronged look.
"You are his father, so you tell me what to do about this." The guy with the buzz cut just gave in.
The son can run away, but the father can’t.
"I don't have any money, but I have my life." Old man Wang stiffened his neck and spoke in a tough voice.
After Wang Ji ran away, Wang Fu stood up in the crowd and moved closer to his parents.
"Hey, you old fellow..."
The younger brother with the crew cut wanted to step forward and teach the old man a lesson.
He was stopped by a man with a crew cut.
"The village chief is here!" Someone shouted.
The road we came from was rough and dusty.
Not only the village chief came, but also Uncle Yang Liu and a group of men holding sticks followed behind him.
Don't fight, but don't lose in momentum.
"Village Chief, we're not here to cause trouble. Wang Ji did borrow money from me. It's only natural to pay back a debt. I'm here to collect it."
The crew cut knew his limits and was reasonable and well-reasoned. He took out the IOU and handed it to the village chief.
After the village chief took the IOU, he looked at it and found no problems, so he couldn't find any fault with it.
"You can collect debts, but don't hit people randomly." The village chief looked carefully at the sticks in the hands of several people.
After the village chief said something neither too light nor too heavy, the men with crew cuts did not dare to move.
Didn't they see that there were dozens of men outside staring at them with murderous eyes?
Do you dare to move?
Dare not move.
"Okay! Wang Ji isn't here today. We'll look for him when he comes back. We'll come back in a couple of days. If he doesn't pay off the IOU by then, we'll be in a lot of trouble."
After saying this, the man with the buzz cut left with his men.
After the people disappeared, the villagers' discussions became louder.
"Old Wang, when Wang Ji comes back, ask him about it. This is not a small amount of money."
The village chief told me how much money was written on the IOU.
Wang Ji Niang was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, immediately started crying and cursing.
After the village chief said this, he turned and left regardless of the Wang family's reaction.
Wang Ji ran to Zhou Erwa's house and frantically looked for him, but the house was still empty.
There was even a thin layer of dust on the bench, indicating that no one had lived in this house for a long time.
Where did Zhou Erwa go?
What exactly did they do that night?
Wang Ji banged his head in frustration, trying to remember what had happened that night.
He couldn't remember.
I couldn’t find anyone and didn’t dare go home.
He had to hide outside the village and sneak back after dark.
When I got home, I found that the light was still on in my parents' room.
After hesitating outside the house for a long time, Wang Ji finally pushed open their door.
The two sat in the room, which was filled with gloom and silence.
"Dad, Mom, I really don't know! Zhou Erwa was the one who tricked me. I never borrowed any money at all."
Wang Ji came in and knelt down in front of the two of them, crying and saying.
Old man Wang didn't say anything, just smoked his pipe.
Wang Ji's legs were held by Wang Ji, and she remained silent.
He would rather be quarreled with and questioned than remain silent.
"Things have already happened, so let it be. I'll give them the money when the time comes."
Old man Wang took the last puff of his cigarette and walked out with the pipe.
When Wang Ji heard his words, he felt relieved.
As long as the family can pay back the money, there is no need to worry about those people taking revenge if they cannot collect the money.
Wang Ji wiped his tears and said with concern, "Mom, you should get some rest early."
"Don't be afraid, your father will not ignore you." After all, this is the child he has loved for more than 20 years. Seeing the child's aggrieved look, his heart softened.
Old Man Wang was thinking in his heart that those debt collectors were in the yard, and the person he had loved for so many years just ran away without caring about his parents.
At that time, Wang Fu immediately stood beside him.
Even if Wang Ji came back earlier, he wouldn't think too much about it.
Are you afraid of those people causing trouble, or...
I have to wait until dark before coming back.
Wang Ji didn't know that his own father already had such an idea in his mind.
Just as he was feeling at ease and his family was paying him back, he was no longer afraid.
