Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 623 - 622 My Father Died Early
Chapter 623: Chapter 622 My Father Died Early
Zhao Zhuangshi, with a blade of grass in his mouth, leaned against the wall bonelessly, tilting his chin up and giving Wang Shumei a sidelong look, displaying the swaggering demeanor only the former village bully could muster before getting married.
The statement struck like a bolt from the blue.
Not only was Mr. Wang dumbfounded, but Li Dahe and the other village cadres were also struck speechless.
Wang Shumei owed money to Zhao Zhuangshi?
They would rather believe Zhao Zhuangshi was going to college.
Wang Shumei frowned and said in a low voice, "Don’t spout nonsense, I clearly lent you money this March, how has it suddenly become last autumn?"
"Ah, then consider my memory at fault, but it’s been half a year regardless. Pay back the money quickly!" Zhao Zhuangshi thrust his right hand in front of Wang Shumei, "Principal and interest together, twelve hundred!"
"You, you... I clearly only borrowed five hundred from you!" Wang Shumei’s voice rose eight octaves, her face turning red, seemingly truly angered.
"Don’t you have to pay interest when borrowing money? What kind of cheap deal did you think you were getting?" Zhao Zhuangshi glared, casually spat out the blade of grass at his feet, and continued, "You borrowed the money for your sister’s medical treatment, right? If you don’t pay back, I’ll break her arm again just like it was fixed!"
"You, you, you..."
Wang Shumei gasped for air frantically, then her eyes rolled back, and she fainted into Wang Hong’s arms.
"Ouch!"
Wang Hong finally snapped to her senses and hurriedly said to Lin Nianhe, "Girl, come and help me take Shumei into the house!"
Lin Nianhe crisply responded and quickly supported Wang Shumei’s arm.
Wang Hong couldn’t help but smile wryly at her preparedness.
These two little bastards, each with more tricks up their sleeve than the other.
Zhao Zhuangshi stepped forward to block: "No way! Even if she dies today, she still has to pay me back!"
"Pay back, pay back! Sister Shumei’s own father is standing right here, would she still owe you money?" Lin Nianhe glared, "Move aside quickly! If anything happens to Wang Shumei, that’s murder!"
Predictably, the young men who had come with Zhao Zhuangshi immediately surrounded Mr. Wang.
"Hey, if the youngster doesn’t pay up, the elder can." Zhao Zhuangshi flashed a malicious grin and extended his hand to Mr. Wang, "Twelve hundred, make it quick!"
Mr. Wang was encircled and finally panicked.
He looked to Li Dahe for help, "Squad leader, you must intervene! That’s not the money I borrowed, how can he demand it from me!"
Would that he just said, "I’ll find a way to pay off my daughter’s debt," Li Dahe would have been able to cover things up, maybe even find Mr. Wang a place to live far from Ten Miles Team.
But now, Li Dahe only wished he could kick him into the Bohai Sea.
Li Dahe: "I can’t manage this, he’s not from our team."
With that single sentence, all of Mr. Wang’s illusions were shattered.
He was quiet, but certainly not tame.
He knew well not to mess with certain people.
Like the thug before him.
Once involved with such people, one could forget about peaceful days ahead.
Mr. Wang stepped back once more, only to be blocked by Wu Genmao: "What’s this? Planning to run?"
Five people were present: Zhao Zhuangshi, Wu Genmao, Cao Shijian, and Zhao Zhuangshi’s two cronies: Li Erdun and Wang Sanzhu.
Without exaggeration, together these five had ten cunning minds among them. Wu Genmao alone accounted for twelve, Li Erdun and Wang Sanzhu had none, and Zhao Zhuangshi and Cao Shijian were each short one.
He casually grabbed Mr. Wang’s collar from the back and said to Zhao Zhuangshi, "Bro, let’s not waste words. Take Wang Shumei’s old man away. If she doesn’t pay back the money, take this old guy and make him hunt two black bears in the mountains to set off the debt!"
Wu Genmao bared his teeth and smiled at Mr. Wang, "Last year we got a bear skin that sold for four hundred bucks. If that crazy bastard didn’t slash it with two cuts, we could have sold it for five hundred. So you better be careful not to damage it and delay our sale."
Mr. Wang was so frightened that he turned pale and trembled, repeatedly saying, "I, I—I’m not, I didn’t, I have nothing to do with her! During the New Year, I have, have, have already severed, severed ties with her!"
"Who are you trying to fool? Severed ties and you’re here looking for her? All of us have been listening outside for quite a while! You still want her to find you a place to stay? Is this what you call severing ties?" Cao Shijian slapped Mr. Wang on the back, making him stumble.
Mr. Wang continued to shake his head tremblingly, "Not me, not me! I’m just homeless and thought to look for her, her... Go ask her for the money! If it doesn’t work out, you can take her and her younger sister as your brides!"
"F**k, what brides cost that much? You think your girl is a fairy?" Zhao Zhuangshi spat, "Cut the crap, are you paying back the money or not?"
"I don’t have any!" Mr. Wang slapped his thigh, "I’ve told you, I have nothing to do with her!"
"Then what the hell are you doing blocking the way here? Looking for a beating?" Zhao Zhuangshi’s face was fierce, his eyes glaring, fists clenched and crackling.
Mr. Wang instantly darted to the side, pressing his back against the wall, head bowed looking at his toes, it was his most familiar pose.
Zhao Zhuangshi gave him a sideway glance, signaled his brothers with his eyes, and everyone clamoring for repayment went to the backyard.
Li Dahe and the others exchanged glances, arguing "Don’t be violent" and "First take them to the clinic" as they followed into the backyard.
Only Accountant Zhao remained seated in his wheelchair, staying put.
He wanted to leave, but couldn’t.
He thought about it and felt that only he could add this final fuel to the fire.
He turned his head towards Mr. Wang and said in a low voice, "Brother Wang, these ruffians won’t leave today without getting the money. How about you find some money to send them away first? Wang Shumei has been in poor health for over half a year. If this delays her visit to the clinic, and something happens..."
His words seemed to have awakened Mr. Wang.
He scanned the front yard, saw only a crippled man left, immediately grabbed his luggage, and, pulling Wang Xiaohu, ran!
"Hey, hey! Brother Wang, what are you doing? Don’t run!"
Accountant Zhao’s face was cold, but he kept calling out.
In the backyard, Lin Nianhe signaled Wu Genmao with her eyes, "Follow up, see where he went."
"Got it! I’m the best at running!"
Saying that, Wu Genmao dragged Cao Shijian and sprinted off.
Back in the day, the two of them were chased by Zhao Zhuangshi and his gang for half the night!
When it comes to running, none of them admit defeat!
Lin Nianhe: "..." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
It seems there was some misunderstanding.
Actually, she didn’t want them to chase Mr. Wang, she just genuinely wanted to know where he eventually went.
But... well, let them chase. It’s not a big deal.
Lin Nianhe turned to Wang Shumei and asked softly, "Sister Shumei, are you okay?"
Witnessing such disgraceful acts by her own father, her feelings must be...
Wang Shumei was indifferent, "When my mom passed away, to me, my dad was already dead. What could possibly happen to me?"
With that, she first bowed in gratitude to the elders, then repeatedly thanked Zhao Zhuangshi and the others.
Zhao Zhuangshi didn’t care much for the thanks, but was elated by Lin Nianhe’s remark "Zhao Zhuangshi you’re really awesome," puffing his chest out, ensuring that this job was his expertise, and in the future, they should come to him if there was any trouble.
