Chapter 385

Zhang Laizi went over to knock on the door.

"Who are you?"

Yi Zhonghai opened the door and saw a stranger standing before it.

"You must be Yi Zhonghai, right?"

Zhang Laizi gritted his teeth.

If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai, would he have almost been choked to death by Wan Ping'an?

He hadn't been choked to death, but he had been choked into incontinence.

Even now, just thinking about it made his face feel burning hot and his crotch feel chilly.

"I am!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Good, as long as it's you!"

Zhang Laizi shoved Yi Zhonghai, pushed him into the room, followed him inside, and shut the door behind him.

"What do you want to do?"

Yi Zhonghai became vigilant, retreated quickly, and grabbed a chair in his hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to beat you, I'm here to ask for money."

"I am Zhang Laizi, from Qin Family Village. You looked for someone to spread rumors about Wan Ping'an, and the person you eventually found to help you spread those rumors was me."

"I've come to find you for only one purpose: money. Give me five hundred yuan!"

Zhang Laizi was very direct...

Yi Zhonghai remembered. He had indeed found someone at the factory to fabricate rumors about Wan Ping'an in Qin Family Village, and he had spent fifty yuan on it.

"Blackmailing me?"

"Are you looking to go to jail?"

Yi Zhonghai was no longer afraid.

Could he not even deal with a scoundrel?

"Yi Zhonghai, stop trying to scare me."

"I'm just asking you: are you going to give it or not?"

"If you don't give it, I'll go to the subdistrict office first, then the police station, and finally the rolling mill. I'll make a scene in all three places, and let's see if you still have a good life!"

Zhang Laizi was following Wan Ping'an's instructions strictly.

Just as Zhang Laizi finished speaking, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Yi Zhonghai's forehead. These three places were all places he feared greatly; he couldn't let anyone go to them!

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's face change drastically,

Zhang Laizi became most confident.

It was just as Wan Ping'an had said: Yi Zhonghai was afraid of him making a scene in those three places.

"I'll give you one hundred, and let this matter end here!"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth.

He decided to lose money to avoid disaster.

"Five hundred yuan, not a cent less. I didn't come here to haggle with you."

"Just tell me if you're giving it or not. If you say one word of 'no', I'll go to the subdistrict office. Oh, and before I go, I'll stop by your courtyard to spread the word."

Zhang Laizi picked up the large enamel tea mug on the table.

The water was warm, just right, and he drank it directly!

"I..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to give it.

And he didn't have the money to give.

He owed Wan Ping'an two thousand yuan. Every month, as soon as his salary was in his hands, he would return it to Wan Ping'an immediately, keeping only ten yuan for living expenses.

He could save up income outside of his salary, but he definitely didn't have five hundred yuan!

"It seems you don't want to give it. No matter, I'll go to your courtyard to spread the word, and then go to the three places I mentioned!"

Zhang Laizi got up to leave.

"Wait, I'll give it!"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth.

He couldn't refuse!

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go borrow it!"

Yi Zhonghai hurried out.

He didn't go to borrow money; he went to the backyard to find the deaf old lady to think of a way.

"You are muddled!"

"Why didn't you discuss it with me first?"

The deaf old lady was very annoyed when she heard Yi Zhonghai say he had found someone to spread rumors in Qin Family Village!

"Old Lady, I was indeed muddled for a moment."

"But Zhang Laizi is at my house. Help me think of a way to send him away?"

"If he goes to the subdistrict office, the police station, and the rolling mill, I'll be finished if he makes a scene in those three places. What I've done can't withstand an investigation!"

Yi Zhonghai pleaded.

It would be fine if they didn't investigate, but if they did, the things he had done in the past would surely be uncovered too.

It wasn't just about the rumors!

"What way could I have?"

"Now you must give Zhang Laizi the money to appease him first, then think of other ways."

The deaf old lady sighed.

"But I don't have five hundred yuan!"

Yi Zhonghai scratched his head in frustration.

It was too urgent!

"I know you don't have it, and neither do I, but there is one person who definitely does!"

"Liu Haizhong!"

The deaf old lady pointed out a clear path.

Three minutes later.

Yi Zhonghai appeared at Liu Haizhong's house and proposed borrowing five hundred yuan.

"Second Elder, I know how much your salary is, and I know how much your family spends in a month. You can definitely come up with five hundred yuan."

"If you lend it to me, I'll pay you back six hundred yuan within a year!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't give Liu Haizhong a chance to refuse.

Liu Haizhong still didn't want to lend it.

Yi Zhonghai owed Wan Ping'an two thousand yuan; he owed too much!

"Liu Haizhong, don't forget, I'm helping you become a team leader. If I'm in a bad mood, you might not be able to become a team leader!"

Yi Zhonghai threatened.

"How can you be like this?"

"Fine, I'll lend it to you. Remember, pay me back six hundred within a year!"

Liu Haizhong had no choice.

He could only take the money and give it to Yi Zhonghai.

Just as Yi Zhonghai walked out of the backyard, he heard a scream from Yi Dama.

"Oh no, she just went out to buy groceries. She doesn't know Zhang Laizi; having a strange man in the house suddenly must have scared her!"

Yi Zhonghai ran home with long strides.

Yi Dama was indeed pale.

"This is your money, take it and get out!"

"Zhang Laizi, I'm warning you, I'm not someone to be trifled with either. Take the money and let this end here; otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Yi Zhonghai warned Zhang Laizi.

Only after driving Zhang Laizi away did he explain to Yi Dama. ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
