Chapter 892

At this time, Li Xiue was still in a state of panic, because her head would look back from time to time, clearly afraid that the people behind would catch up.

Hearing Wang An's question, Li Xiue suddenly sobbed and then told Wang An intermittently.

It turned out that after Li Xiue's father borrowed usury in Xing'an Township, he had also repaid those people quite a bit of money one after another. The principal had actually been repaid long ago, and even the interest paid had far exceeded the principal.

But usury is a thing that not only has very high interest but also calculates interest by the day.

Actually, this kind of usury is also called "donkey rolling interest" among the people, because the interest generated the day before is counted as principal the next day to recalculate interest.

This led to the debt of the person who owed money growing daily if they couldn't repay it all at once.

So the speed at which Li Xiue's father repaid the money was far from catching up with the speed of compound interest.

Before, Li Xiue's father wanted to marry Li Xiue off—to put it bluntly, he wanted to sell Li Xiue—but because he kept raising the price, no one took the bait later because the price was too high.

Later, a person who lent usury took a fancy to Li Xiue and said he could take Li Xiue to offset the debt, but Li Xiue didn't agree. Under the compound interest, this led to the Li family owing more and more money.

As the saying goes, "death ends debt."

So Li Xiue's father thought of doing this, at least he could not implicate his family after his death.

Then Li Xiue's father couldn't think straight and committed suicide two days ago.

But people died, and the matter was definitely serious.

However, after the police officers in the township came, they confirmed that Li Xiue's father committed suicide rather than being murdered, so this matter was not within their jurisdiction.

Mainly, "a life for a life, pay back the debt" is a matter of natural justice, and the police officers were also helpless, so they went through the motions and went back.

To be honest, Li Xiue's father was really shitty, actually daring to borrow usury to gamble!

This is great; he died, but left the trouble to his family.

Because the four words "death ends debt" don't work in usury; they emphasize "father's debt, son's repayment."

That is to say, after Li Xiue's father died, those who lent usury still didn't let go of Li Xiue and her family.

In short, it's two words: "want money."

Li Xiue's mother was sick in bed due to grief and anxiety, and Li Xiue's 3 brothers were also lying on the kang injured after being beaten by the usurers.

And Li Xiue herself was caught by the usurers.

Fortunately, the old Li family was barely considered a large family in Sujia Village. When a group of Li clansmen and villagers fought with the usurers, Li Xiue escaped.

It must be said that at such a time, it reflects what a family is and what neighbors are.

When there's something, they really go for it!

It's just that owing money is a matter that has to be repaid no matter what. Relying only on the protection of clansmen is purely bullshit, because everyone is just an ordinary person.

Mainly, how can ordinary people afford to consume with a group of usurers?

Being able to help fight two battles is already remarkable; other problems can't be solved at all.

After listening to Li Xiue's account, Wang An's brows furrowed deeply.

He never expected that things had reached such a point.

And what made Wang An feel most incredible was that this matter had actually been run into by himself in a muddled way.

To tell the truth, Wang An didn't want to manage it.

Mainly because this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him. The key is that Li Xiue didn't seem to like Wang Li. If Li Xiue could get together with Wang Li, then Wang An would have to manage it.

But while thinking this, Wang An had a vague premonition in his heart that this time Li Xiue would run into him so magically, it was actually a kind of heaven's will in the dark.

And if Wang An didn't manage it this time, then this matter would definitely roll bigger and bigger like a snowball, and sooner or later it would have to have something to do with Wang An again, finally leading to Wang An having to intervene.

Although it was just a premonition, Wang An felt that this premonition was extremely real, as if someone was telling him in his ear.

Thinking of this, Wang An sucked his teeth hard and then turned his head to look at Li Xiue with a worried face.

The ancients didn't deceive me; beauty is a disaster!

Suppressing the urge to kick Li Xiue off the car, Wang An asked:

"Then what are you doing running toward the county town?"

Li Xiue had tears in her eyes and said with a confused face:

"I thought about hiding at my classmate's house first, and then, then I, I don't know where I should go, woooooo..."

As she spoke, Li Xiue cried again, and she cried quite sadly.

It must be said that although Li Xiue's father wasn't a thing, this group of usurers was simply worse than beasts.

This is living proof of a family being smashed to pieces, and it's a broken home.

No wonder that later on, China will crack down on usury more and more strictly; mainly because this usury simply doesn't give people a way to live!

Seeing Li Xiue crying, Wang An looked at Li Xiue several times, and although he was a bit annoyed, he was helpless.

To prevent misunderstandings from being generated if the villagers saw Li Xiue crying in his car, Wang An drove the sidecar into a flat woods, thinking that he would go back after Li Xiue's emotions stabilized.

Stopping the car and turning off the engine, Wang An took out his cigarettes.

Maybe because she knew Wang An, Li Xiue, who noticed this, didn't care and continued to cry there.

Of course, Wang An didn't care about her either, and just lit a cigarette and smoked there alone, without saying to take a cigarette and ask Li Xiue if she smoked.

After Wang An finished smoking a cigarette, Li Xiue also calmed down a lot, so Wang An took the initiative to ask Li Xiue:

"Do you have any feelings for my younger brother Wang Li?"

Wang An still felt that this Li Xiue was very well-matched with the fifth brother.

This very abrupt question from Wang An made Li Xiue stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand what this meant, and asked Wang An with a face full of tear stains:

"Big Brother, what did you say?"

Wang An glanced at Li Xiue and said:

"My younger brother Wang Li, who is also your classmate, wants to date you. Didn't he ask your sister Li Xiuehong for your opinion a while ago? Didn't you disagree?"

Only to see Li Xiuehong say with a bitter face:

"My family is like this, how can I have the mind to find a husband?"

Wang An suddenly said with bright eyes:

"How about this: I will help you repay the debts of your family, and I will also help you solve the problem of those usurers. In exchange, you marry Wang Li. What do you say?"
