Chapter 97 Li Youquan, I don’t owe you any money, why are you making such a fuss?
Li Youjiang came out of the house upon hearing the noise, and was surprised to see so many people.
He looked around and saw the elderly Uncle Zhang standing in front of the crowd, so he called out, "Uncle Zhang, hey, and Uncle Wang, please come in, please come in, let's go inside and talk."
Uncle Zhang looked around, coughed, and refused, "Ahem, there are too many people, so we won't go in. Um, You Jiang, I heard you came back today to pay everyone back, so we came right away. Don't mind. Here, this is my IOU for 5,000 yuan. Please pay me back."
As he spoke, Uncle Zhang took out an IOU with his fingerprints on it.
"I will definitely pay it back. Uncle Zhang, you don't know that I have a temper like Jiang. I mean what I say. I will pay it back as soon as I say it. If I can't pay it back, there is still Xiaofeng. It's just..."
Li Youjiang hesitated for a moment and continued, "I've returned from Xinjiang this time, and for safety reasons, I've put all my money in my bank account. Let's do this: I'll go withdraw the money later, and then I'll deliver it door to door tonight. I guarantee everyone gets every penny they need."
"Xiu Rong, bring me some paper and pen. Let's take note of who's here."
Wang Xiurong found a pen and paper and handed it to Li Youjiang. Li Youjiang wrote it down while saying, "Okay, Uncle Zhang, I'll definitely send it to you tonight. If I can't, you can tear my head off and kick it like a ball tomorrow."
"Also, Uncle Wang, we haven't seen each other for over three years. You look younger now. Well, I'll definitely deliver it to you tonight. If I can't, you can break my right leg with your crutch!"
As he spoke, Li Youjiang patted his right leg.
Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang were both highly respected, and they felt relieved when they heard Li Youjiang's aggressive words.
Uncle Zhang then turned around and shouted, "Everyone, go away, just wait at home tonight..."
"Let's go, let's go." Uncle Wang also responded.
Seeing that things were about to end, Li Youquan, who was lying on the wall watching the fun, suddenly winked at Gou Danzi.
Goudanzi understood what he meant and hid in the crowd, saying in a sarcastic tone:
"If we leave now, I'm afraid we'll never find him again... He hid for three years, and we couldn't find him. Then he hid for another three years, and then another three years. By the time he pays back the money, who knows when..."
Beside him, Er Gouzi also chimed in:
"That's right. He said he would deliver it door to door at night. Maybe he would slip away as soon as we leave. This is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. We can't fall into his trap---"
When Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang heard this, they thought it made sense, so the others stopped as well.
When Li Youjiang saw Goudanzi and Ergouzi, he had an idea and turned to look at the top of the wall. Sure enough, it was Li Youquan who was giving orders there with a gloating look on his face.
He suppressed his anger, took out his bank card, and said, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Wang, the money is all on this card. I'll take it back later and send the money home."
"I wouldn't believe you if you said you were going to withdraw money. As soon as we leave, you'll definitely run away!"
"Yes, the money must be paid now, and it must be divided on the spot, not a cent less!"
Goudanzi and Ergouzi were making a loud noise, attracting neighbors from all directions to come and watch the fun, pointing and talking. More and more people gathered. Li Youquan proudly climbed onto the roof to watch the fun.
Li Youjiang glared at Ergouzi and Goudanzi fiercely, scaring them so much that they trembled all over and quickly hid in the crowd.
"How about this, let's wait a little longer, um, Xiaofeng will be back soon, then..."
Before Li Youjiang could finish his words, someone else interrupted and said, "Stop talking nonsense and return the money!"
"Yes, don't make excuses. It's only natural to pay back your debts!"
"We agreed to pay it back in three years. Now that three years have passed, you must keep your word!"
Everyone was talking at once, and Goudanzi and Ergouzi also puffed up their stomachs and responded with a few noises.
Suddenly the yard was filled with shouts.
Li Youjiang was overwhelmed. He talked and tried to persuade them, but he couldn't appease them.
Just when he was at a loss, suddenly a brand new car stopped in front of the door.
“Click—”
The door opened, and it was Li Feng who got out of the car. He looked through the fence and saw the commotion in the yard, and was about to say something.
Li Youquan, standing on the roof, grinned and said:
"Look everyone! Li Youjiang has no money to pay off his debts, yet he still bought his son a new car. Tell me, is there such an unreasonable person in the world?"
"Li Youjiang, you've been hiding from your debt for three years, and now your true colors have finally been revealed! What's with that promise to pay back? It's just empty talk to fool everyone, isn't it?!"
"Everyone, please don't leave. If you leave, you won't be able to get back this debt!"
When everyone saw Li Feng outside the yard, they immediately believed it about 70% to 80% of the time and started cursing at Li Feng.
"Fuck! I almost got fooled by Li Youjiang. He owes 500,000 yuan in foreign debt, and he still bought his son a new car! This car, by the looks of it, must be worth over 100,000 yuan!"
"Over 100,000, but definitely more than that. Look carefully, it's a Great Wall SUV, and it looks like the latest model. It's at least 150,000!"
"Fuck! Li Youjiang is such a liar! He doesn't even think twice about telling lies, and he doesn't even blush. He just blurts out lies like that! He said he'll go door to door delivering money to everyone tonight. I think he's going to leave tonight!"
"Yes, that's definitely the case. His son came here at this time just to pick him up and go out to hide from his debts. Damn, luckily Goudanzi called me, otherwise I wouldn't know when I would get the five thousand yuan back!"
The neighbors who were watching the excitement, not caring about the seriousness of the matter, also started to make a fuss, saying, "Hey, the Li family kid is back, now there's something exciting to watch."
"I heard that this Li family kid is quite loyal. He even gives New Year greetings and gifts to his creditors during festivals..."
"It's all tricks. The Li family kid has been around the city, and the tricks there are deep... If nothing else, just saying he owed money to buy a car doesn't make sense!"
Li Youquan listened to the discussions and condemnations of the crowd, and his mouth was grinning from ear to ear. His wife also secretly lay on the top of the wall, cracking melon seeds with a gloating look, watching the fun.
Li Feng got out of the car and looked up. His cold eyes shot directly into Li Youquan's pupils, scaring him so much that he shuddered all over.
This made him think of the scene in the hospital three years ago, when Li Feng also had the same unusually cold look.
He couldn't help but rub his hands together, thinking to himself, "No matter what, you can't come up with 500,000. I'm definitely watching this good show!"
At the same time, he tried to straighten his chest and shouted, "Li Youjiang! If you don't have money, you can use your son's new car to pay off the debt!"
"Yes, yes! Use the car to pay off the debt!"
"A son pays his father's debts. Using a car to pay off the debt is fine!"
Goudanzi and Ergouzi were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so they shouted loudly.
After hearing this, the others all looked at Li Feng's new car. Many of them licked their lips and estimated the value of the car.
Li Feng stood still and shouted angrily at the rooftop, "Li Youquan! I don't owe you any money, why are you making such a fuss!?"
Then, he turned to Goudanzi and Ergouzi, who were hiding in the crowd, and shouted, "Goudanzi, Ergouzi, why are you acting so high and mighty? Do I owe you money?!"
Li Youquan felt ashamed when he heard Li Feng calling him by his name in front of everyone, so he cursed:
"Li Youjiang, your well-educated son has no manners at all. He doesn't owe me money, but does he owe everyone else money? Is it wrong for me to speak a few fair words for everyone? Everyone, please judge! Judge!"
"That's right, you don't owe me money, but you owe my father money. My father's money is my money. If my father hasn't asked for it back, I can ask for it!" Gou Danzi said with a red neck.
"That's the reason. I'm also trying to get justice for everyone!"
"I don't owe you any money, so go and rest wherever you want!" Li Feng retorted.
"We won't go! We're all discerning people, don't even think about running away with your father!"
"Yes! Yes! Take out his car keys first!"
"Quick! Quick! Block the road first, don't let him drive away. This car is worth a lot of money!"
The crowd was excited by Li Youquan and his friends, and immediately seven or eight people surrounded the car.
