Chapter 905

It must be admitted that this family of Li Xiuyu's had truly been devastated by those usurers.

It's just that Wang An also had to admire the sense of propriety of those people, because they never actively harmed anyone's life from beginning to end.

As for Li Xiuyu's father, although he was forced to death by them, Li Xiuyu's father indeed committed suicide; perhaps the usurers didn't want him to die either.

One can imagine that if they had dared to kill anyone, then the three brothers of the Li family would definitely not be in such a cowardly state now.

And the reason why these three brothers were so obedient now was simply because they all had elderly parents and young children, so they all had a mentality of "endure one step, then endure another step."

Otherwise, three ruthless men with guns—how much chaos could they cause?

After Wang An scanned the room again, he said to Li Xiuyu's family:

"My name is Wang An, I'm the son-in-law of the old Mu family in your village. I feel that you should all know me; even if you don't know me, you should have heard of me."

Pausing, Wang An continued:

"Your Li Xiuyu is now dating my younger brother Wang Li, and they told me about your family's situation, which is why I found people to help. By the way, these are all police officers from the county, not those bastards from the township. We are here to vent your family's anger; can you understand what I mean?"

Wang An's words could be said to be very clear, and most importantly, Wang An also pointed out the matter of Wang Li and Li Xiuyu along the way.

Upon hearing Wang An say this, Li Dashan and his two brothers and their wives subconsciously looked at Wang An and the others.

Immediately after, they looked at Li Xiuyu, clearly seeking verification from her.

Although Wang An's shout before didn't make Li Xiuyu see the situation clearly, fortunately, it made Li Xiuyu focus her attention here a little.

Noticing the eyes of her brothers and sisters-in-law, Li Xiuyu nodded while crying:

"Yes, Fourth Brother is someone I found to help our family."

It must be said, family is the most trustworthy; after Li Xiuyu finished speaking, the eyes of Li Dashan and his brothers all lit up.

And Li Dashan and Li Dahe no longer sat on the stools with their heads down, but all stood up to show their respect for Wang An and the others.

Even Li Dajiang, who was lying halfway there, hurriedly sat up, struggling to move to the edge of the kang to get off the ground.

There's no way around it; this is the local custom. When guests come to the house, you must stand up; if you keep sitting there without moving, you will definitely be looked down upon.

Of course, there is one exception: people who are bedridden or elders who are old enough.

Because since ancient times, there has been no such thing as an elder paying respects to a junior.

Li Dahe, who had stood up, looked at Wang An and said very sincerely:

"Thank you."

Actually, in the local countryside, very few people say the two words "thank you." On one hand, it's hard to say, and on the other hand, everyone has a back-and-forth; you help me, I help you—it's all very normal.

Actually, before, Li Dahe had already recognized Wang An, but Wang An's reputation in these ten miles and eight villages was truly not very good, so Li Dahe thought Wang An was in the same group as those usurers.

Wang An nodded lightly, raised his eyebrows, and said again:

"We are here today to clean up those animals. Besides, with Xiuyu here, we are not outsiders, so if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't be polite, the more detailed the better."

Just like that, the three brothers of the Li family began to recount one after another.

It turned out that after Li Xiuyu escaped with the help of the villagers yesterday, those dozen or so usurers beat the three brothers of the Li family again.

Most importantly, after those usurers left, the police officers from the township also came to take a look.

It's just that they came to tell the Li family to pay back the money as soon as possible, but now where would the Li family have money?

One must know that when Li Xiuyu's father borrowed the money, he only borrowed 300 yuan, and actually only received 240 yuan.

But so far, the Li family had paid back nearly 900 yuan.

And in this 900-plus yuan, besides the 500 yuan that the three brothers of the Li family took out, the remaining 400 yuan was all borrowed.

According to those usurers, the Li family now owed them another 600-plus yuan that hadn't been paid back.

And this doesn't even count the grain, poultry, and livestock they snatched away yesterday...

It must be said, this usury is simply a bottomless pit; it is definitely something that can never be paid off.

Actually, Wang An also knew that usury is something that, when the amount accumulates to a certain level, is equivalent to having no count; to put it bluntly, it's whatever they say it is.

Mainly because no matter how much they say, it's an astronomical figure, and it's impossible to pay back anyway.

It wasn't until last night that those usurers left, but they also said when they left that they would come again today.

Hearing that they would come again today, Wang An and Sun Nian and the others couldn't help but look happy.

They were just worrying about where to find them, and now they were delivering themselves to their door.

And the reason why this group of people from the Li family gathered here was to study countermeasures.

It's just that these three brothers all had elderly parents and young children; they couldn't fight to the death, they couldn't afford to fight a war, and they couldn't pay back the money, so the whole family was worrying here.

However, it wasn't hard to hear from their words that the three brothers of Li Dashan had already planned to send their wives and children back to their maiden homes, and then the three brothers planned to fight to the death with the usurers.

Hearing this, Wang An still had to say he truly admired these three brothers.

Because things had already reached this point; even if they didn't fight to the death, the Li family would sooner or later be bullied to death by those usurers.

So holding the idea of "killing one is enough, killing two is a profit" was also quite good.

Mainly because if this matter happened to Wang An, Wang An would likely have already exterminated those people.

Anyway, if you don't let me live well, then let's see who dies first.

Wang An always believes in one thing: under the muzzle of a gun, everyone is equal.

Since they didn't know when those people would come, after listening to the three brothers' account, Sun Nian immediately made arrangements.

Some police officers were in the house, some were in the courtyard, and they just waited quietly.

Of course, Sun Nian and Wang An didn't forget to hide the large truck and the sidecars.

These two things were too eye-catching; not hiding them definitely wouldn't work.

Just like that, unknowingly, more than two hours slipped away quietly.

Until after ten o'clock in the morning, fourteen or fifteen guys riding 28-inch bicycles came over.

It must be said, this formation was still quite large.

Thanks to "Book Friend dc" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
