Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Facing Yang Xiaoxiong's desperate pleas, Wang Erhai was extremely surprised and found it hard to believe, yet he remained unmoved, because he knew that if he really asked his family for ten thousand yuan, that ten thousand yuan would surely be gone for good!
After more than a month of summer jobs, he deeply understood how hard it was to earn money.
How could he possibly help the pyramid scheme organization deceive his own parents just because of Yang Xiaoxiong's few words?
So he said coldly:
"Yang Xiaoxiong, are you even human! I don't care if you want to earn money with an uneasy conscience! But what right do you have to make me pay this money! I want to leave here, I don't want to do pyramid schemes, I won't give you a single cent!"
Seeing Wang Erhai's attitude so firm, Yang Xiaoxiong couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment.
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Wang Erhai, and Wang Erhai was directly knocked senseless.
He never expected Yang Xiaoxiong would actually lay hands on him!
Yang Xiaoxiong went up and gave Wang Erhai a beating of punches and kicks:
"Will you give it or not! Will you give it or not! My ten thousand yuan joining fee was borrowed bit by bit, if I can't earn it back, how am I supposed to repay the money!"
Yang Xiaoxiong went mad and beat Wang Erhai wildly.
Wang Erhai curled up tightly on the ground, holding his head with both hands.
He was beaten until he was almost knocked unconscious.
Even those people from the pyramid scheme organization couldn't stand it anymore.
They hurried over to pull Yang Xiaoxiong away.
"We just want money, not lives, you must not cause a death!"
Xiao Li scolded Yang Xiaoxiong viciously.
Yang Xiaoxiong calmed his inner heart slightly and said with a bitter smile:
"I also want money, but he refuses to give it."
Xiao Li said:
"Use a gentler method, he is right here, we will definitely have a way to make him soften and obediently take out money."
Yang Xiaoxiong smiled along:
"Okay, okay, next time I'll lay hands lighter."
Several pyramid scheme personnel withdrew from the small house together.
The room door closed, and Wang Erhai returned to the dark, lightless darkness inside.
He slowly climbed up from the ground, leaned against the corner of the wall and sat, panted for a good while, and then gradually calmed his inner heart.
The wounds on his body still ached faintly, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
He never expected that the classmate who was once closest and most trusted would actually beat him up at this time.
It can only be said that some people, for money, truly have no bottom line.
He had not seen through Yang Xiaoxiong's character before, which was why he made such a friend by mistake.
Time passed another day in the blink of an eye.
Early the next morning, Yang Xiaoxiong and his fellow villager childhood friend Yang Jiafeng came again to persuade Wang Erhai.
Yang Jiafeng was more ruthless than Yang Xiaoxiong.
He took out a knife and threatened Wang Erhai:
"I'll ask you once, you'd better think clearly before answering, are you willing to call home to ask for money? If not willing, I'll chop off one of your fingers! I'll come back to ask you once a day, every time you disagree I'll chop off one of your fingers, I want to see how many fingers you have to chop!"
Hearing these words, Wang Erhai immediately panicked.
He had grown up this big, when had he ever seen such a scene? Such a scene would only appear in movies when kidnappers kidnap for ransom.
Yang Xiaoxiong frowned slightly, a trace of pity appeared in his eyes, and he persuaded:
"Erhai, don't be stubborn anymore, just call home, let your family give you ten thousand yuan, as long as you pay ten thousand yuan joining fee, then we are all people of the 1040 Project, this money we can really earn back, you just give it!"
Wang Erhai's respiration became rapid, he turned his head to the side, and did not answer any words from Yang Jiafeng and Yang Xiaoxiong.
At this time Yang Jiafeng picked up the knife:
"Fine then, then I'll chop off one of your fingers, I won't waste more words with you."
Immediately Yang Jiafeng immediately let two employees come over to press down Wang Erhai's hand, he held the knife and gestured on Wang Erhai's fingers.
Wang Erhai's complexion changed wildly from fear, he was almost scared to pee.
He finally opened his mouth because of fear.
"I'll call, I'll call home right now, you guys don't mess around!"
After all, Wang Erhai was just a teenager who had graduated from high school not long ago, being able to persist to this step was actually more impressive than most ordinary people.
In those years pyramid scheme organizations were rampant, who knows how many ignorant youths mistakenly entered pyramid scheme organizations, were fooled and then helped pyramid scheme organizations deceive their own relatives and friends' wealth.
Wang Erhai was beaten and still stubbornly refused to compromise, only when others said they would chop his fingers did he compromise, he was indeed already very impressive.
Seeing Wang Erhai compromise, Yang Jiafeng and Yang Xiaoxiong and others all showed delighted smiles on their faces.
Because this meant they had handled another customer, they could again earn a considerable commission from it.
Yang Jiafeng took Wang Erhai's mobile phone over, let Wang Erhai unlock the mobile phone screen first, then from inside the contact list, found his father's contact information.
"Communicate with your family according to what is written on this paper, if you dare to talk nonsense, be careful of your fingers!"
Yang Jiafeng took out a piece of paper, inside listed the questioning methods for demanding money from home.
Several pyramid scheme personnel pressed down Wang Erhai's both hands, Yang Jiafeng dialed Wang Erhai's father's contact number, turned on speakerphone, and placed the mobile phone by Wang Erhai's ear.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
The mobile phone rang for a while, and was finally answered.
Wang Erhai hoped more than anything that his father would not pick up this call.
Unfortunately, things went contrary to his wishes.
"Hello, Erhai, is work going alright out there?"
The moment the call connected, came Father Wang Zhanggen's familiar and steady voice.
"Dad, I'm fine..."
Wang Erhai had ten thousand reluctances in his inner heart, but facing these thugs' threats and intimidation, he had to bow his head and submit, speaking words against his will, helping this gang of thugs deceive his own parents.
"As long as you're fine. Your mom is right next to me, want me to let you talk to your mom?"
Wang Zhanggen and the three sons actually didn't have many topics to communicate about; their father-son relationship revealed a kind of stiff alienation, so he hurriedly handed the mobile phone to Li Xiulan, letting Wang Erhai and Li Xiulan chat a bit.
"Erhai, is the summer job in Dongguan hard? If it's too hard, don't do it, come home and rest for a short term, then go to Guangzhou to find your eldest brother, your eldest brother sells computers in Guangzhou, not only is the work relaxed but it also earns a lot of money, let him bring you along to do it together!"
Li Xiulan opened her mouth full of concern; although she struggled in the mire of poverty her whole lifetime, it cannot be denied, as a mother, she was conscientious and devoted.
Wang Erhai heard his mother's words, and his eyes couldn't help but redden, his nose also starting to turn sour.
He truly didn't want to open his mouth to ask his mother for money, but a sharp small knife was pressed against his finger, as long as Yang ZhiFeng exerted force and pressed down, his finger would be cut into two segments.
"Mom, that... I... actually..."
Wang Erhai spoke haltingly, somewhat disordered, he didn't know how to open his mouth.
"Erhai, what's wrong? Whatever you have to say just say it directly, I'm your mom, no matter what, I'll support you."
Li Xiulan spoke like this.
Truly, the hearts of parents under heaven are pitiful.
