Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 146 - 105: What Kind of Grandpa Is This?

Immediately, another man threatened, "Old Xu, you’re not trying to mess with us, are you!"

"Let me tell you, if we don’t get the money today, we’re not leaving. We’ll eat, drink, and do everything at your place!"

"They’re almost back, almost back..."

The last voice that sounded was Xu Zhengyi’s, trembling slightly.

Hearing this, it was already clear that they were here to collect a debt.

Shen Qiushan placed the shovel he was holding by the door frame, then directly opened the door.

As long as there weren’t any extremely vicious thugs inside, the situation could be resolved.

After all, it’s all about the money.

The small house had three rooms, with a bedroom each to the east and west, and the living room combined with the kitchen right as you enter.

At this moment, there were three men in the living room looking like thugs. The leading man was burly, wearing a black T-shirt with a python tattooed on his left arm.

On his left stood a young man with blonde hair, and on his right, a skinny man with a buzz cut.

Xu Pipa’s grandfather, Xu Zhengyi, was surrounded by the three, sitting on a small stool. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

It was clear that Xu Zhengyi had been sitting on that stool for a long time; he was getting uncomfortable, and his right hand was unconsciously supporting himself on the ground.

"Pipa!"

"You finally came back!"

Spotting his granddaughter, Xu Zhengyi’s cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he excitedly reached out a hand to Xu Pipa.

The three thugs also directed their attention to the entrance, and naturally, all eyes fell on Shen Qiushan.

Compared to the petite Xu Pipa, wrapped in her oversized school uniform, the well-dressed Shen Qiushan obviously looked wealthier.

"Old Xu, didn’t you say you don’t have a son?"

"Who is he?"

The tattooed man pointed at Shen Qiushan and asked.

"Pipa, who is he?"

Of course, Xu Zhengyi didn’t recognize Shen Qiushan. Seeing his granddaughter come back so late with a man, he immediately gritted his teeth and scolded, "So young and already messing around with men!"

"What a disgrace!"

"Old Xu, you said your granddaughter never dated anyone before."

"And now, this..."

The tattooed man pouted, then angrily said, "I’m telling you, this is not worth an 180,000 yuan betrothal gift!"

"Brother Wei, wake up!"

"Your wife’s been had by someone else!"

The tattooed man said this and then shouted again towards Xu Pipa’s room.

A moment later, a young man, skinny and clearly indulged in drink and lust all day, walked out of the room. He seemed to have just woken up, still yawning.

But upon seeing Xu Pipa standing in the living room, his eyes immediately lit up: "Pipa, you’re back."

Xu Pipa recognized this man, skinny like a ribbon fish. He was the son of the village party secretary, called Zhang Xiaowei.

Although the village had already been turned into a neighborhood, his father still held a position on the street, wielding quite a bit of power in the area.

This Zhang Xiaowei was three years older than Xu Pipa and had long been fixated on her delicate looks and stunning figure.

Due to Xu Pipa always wearing a baggy school uniform, outsiders generally didn’t know how amazing her figure was.

The reason Zhang Xiaowei knew was also because of Xu Zhengyi. Before the New Year, Xu Zhengyi lost money again and owed Zhang Xiaowei five hundred yuan, so Xu Zhengyi brought him home to get the money.

Initially, Xu Zhengyi had set aside five hundred yuan to buy some meat for the New Year, a little treat.

But as soon as he got to the gambling table, he got carried away and lost the five hundred yuan reservation as well.

It was when Zhang Xiaowei followed Xu Zhengyi to get the money that he saw Xu Pipa studying in her room. Since she was in her own room, Xu Pipa was only wearing a fitted sweater on top.

Zhang Xiaowei took one look and was stunned by her beauty!

Then, he started planning to marry Xu Pipa as his wife.

"How much money does he owe you?"

Xu Pipa glanced at Zhang Xiaowei, then pointed bleakly at Xu Zhengyi, who sat on the small stool.

"Not much."

"Just 280,000."

Zhang Xiaowei shrugged with a smirk.

"How, how much??"

Xu Pipa’s mouth dropped open, her large eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Given how overt Zhang Xiaowei and the others were in collecting the debt, Xu Pipa had guessed that her grandpa owed quite a bit of money.

But she never imagined it could be so much!

280,000!

How could a family like theirs possibly pay back 280,000?

Zhang Xiaowei pulled out an I.O.U. from his pocket and waved it in front of Xu Pipa, saying, "This house is valued at 100,000."

"The betrothal gift for marrying you is 180,000!"

"Exactly 280,000!"

Having set his sights on Xu Pipa, Zhang Xiaowei went home and told his dad that he wanted to marry her. His dad then came up with an idea.

The idea was simple: exploit Xu Zhengyi’s gambling habit and set a trap.

So, from the New Year to today, Xu Zhengyi borrowed 280,000 yuan bit by bit from Zhang Xiaowei!

All this money was, of course, lost by Xu Zhengyi at the gambling table.

This process was a bit like the book "To Live," where Fugui loses his family fortune.

For the past six months, every time Xu Zhengyi gambled and lost, he borrowed from Zhang Xiaowei. And Zhang Xiaowei never lent too much, each time a thousand or two at least, and three or five thousand at most.

The 280,000 accumulated this way!

And this figure was predetermined by Zhang Xiaowei’s dad: borrow up to 280,000!

100,000 was for the house, and the other 180,000 became Xu Pipa’s betrothal gift.

By noon today, this scheme that lasted half a year could net its catch.

That’s why Zhang Xiaowei brought people to Xu Pipa’s home.

"Brother Wei, your wife’s been had by this guy."

"She’s already not pure!"

"The 180,000 is a loss..."

At this time, the tattooed man pointed at Shen Qiushan and said.
