Chapter 501
"Enough, stop talking nonsense with me. Take out the money today! If you can't take it out, just wait to go back to the Pigeon Market and follow the rules!"
"Including principal and interest, it's 300 yuan in total. One finger for every 100 yuan less! This is our company's rule!"
"Don't dawdle with me here! If I don't see the money today, it won't matter even if the King of Heaven comes!"
In this day and age, the economy has already started to take off. In fact, those who collected usury didn't collect it so urgently!
After all, injuring or crippling people didn't do them any good!
But now the rumors in the Pigeon Market were spreading so fiercely that everyone thought they had offended Qin Huairu!
They had to quickly take Sha Zhu away to prove their attitude, otherwise, they would be the ones to suffer!
"The deadline hasn't even arrived yet! 100 yuan for a finger? Big brothers, don't joke with me!"
"When I borrowed the money, you didn't say there was such a rule! If there was, I definitely wouldn't have borrowed the money!"
Sha Zhu was also about to cry; he never expected these people to be so ruthless!
But in fact, these people were completely targeting him. In the past, even if there really was such an obscure rule, it wouldn't have been used once in a few years!
Looking at the cold eyes of these people, Sha Zhu also knew that these people were probably not lying. If he didn't find a way to pay back the money, he could forget about his three fingers!
"Jia Zhangshi, Bang Geng, you two wastes, why don't you hurry up and come over here!"
Anxious, Sha Zhu saw Jia Zhangshi and her grandson lying comfortably in the corner of the courtyard, and hurriedly roared at them to come over.
After being roared at by Sha Zhu, Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng, although they didn't know what had happened, still walked over reluctantly.
After all, they were still living in this courtyard, and whether they could eat or not was another matter. Sha Zhu calling them over must mean there was something going on. If they could return to Sha Zhu's house, that would be great!
"Big brothers, I really can't pay back the money for the time being. Why don't you see if these two are of any use to you!"
"Don't worry, she's my wife, we still have our marriage certificate! And he's my grandson. You can see if you want to take him as a coolie or take him somewhere else!"
"Give me some time to raise some money, okay? You can take both of them, take them wherever you want!"
Sha Zhu was daydreaming at this moment, actually thinking that Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng could delay some time for him.
Clearly, he still thought that these two wastes could be sold for money in the Pigeon Market!
However, these people looked at Jia Zhangshi's fat appearance, and then looked at Bang Geng, who was as thin as a stick and a sickly child not even as tall as a child, and they lost all interest!
Taking such people back to the Pigeon Market, let alone using them as coolies, they were afraid they would die in the Pigeon Market!
Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng were also startled when they heard this. They had heard of the things in the Pigeon Market, and if they went in, it would be difficult to regain their freedom!
"He Yuzhu, I think your brain is filled with water! Look at what these two things are!"
"What can your wife do if she's sent to our Pigeon Market, other than eat and drink for free? And this sickly child, I'm afraid he'll die at my place!"
"Enough! I'll give you two more minutes. If you can't scrape the money together, come back to the Pigeon Market with me and leave three fingers!"
And the patience of these people had reached its limit; they really didn't want to say any more stupid things to this idiot!
They came here this time also thinking about whether they could get the money back, and then take Sha Zhu to curry favor with Qin Huairu!
But clearly, with Sha Zhu like this, having already taken these two old, weak, sick, and disabled people to sell for money, it was naturally impossible for him to pay back their money.
Before Sha Zhu could even speak, these people were ready to carry Sha Zhu away.
And Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai heard the commotion and rushed out.
Yi Zhonghai had lost more than 1,000 yuan, and that First Aunt was really arguing with him every day!
Yi Zhonghai, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, hadn't eaten a single grain of rice, but seeing that Sha Zhu was about to be forcibly taken away, he was still hesitant in his heart.
After all, he had already spent more than 1,000 yuan. If Sha Zhu was taken to the Pigeon Market and crippled, he would be in trouble in the future!
Yi Zhonghai had no money left in his hands, and he had no hope of finding someone to support him in his old age or send him off!
And the only person in the courtyard who still had some hope of supporting him in his old age was Sha Zhu!
"Little brothers, since ancient times, paying back debts is a matter of course. But hasn't the deadline not arrived yet?"
"You're asking for three of Sha Zhu's fingers as soon as you open your mouths. Isn't that a bit against the rules? No matter where you are, you have to do things according to the rules, right?"
Yi Zhonghai put on his old First Uncle airs again, but clearly, it was of no use.
"What does it have to do with you, you old bastard? Stop being a busybody here! If you can pay the 300 yuan for Sha Zhu, we'll naturally let him go!"
"If you don't have money, stop pretending here! We are doing business, not charity. If you borrow money and don't pay it back, you have to follow our rules!"
And these people were really impatient; how could they listen to Yi Zhonghai's nagging!
Seeing that he was about to be dragged away by these people, Sha Zhu was panicking and grasping at straws.
"First Uncle, First Uncle, Yan Bugui, save me! Save me, I beg you!"
"I finally managed to return to the courtyard! You're the First Uncle in the courtyard now, aren't you much more powerful than Yi Zhonghai? Can you say a word for me? Can you say a word for me?"
Sha Zhu was almost scared to the point of wetting his pants. Having three of his fingers chopped off alive—Sha Zhu didn't even dare to think about that scene.
At this moment, he could only see if Yan Bugui could save him!
And when everyone followed the direction of Sha Zhu's cry for help and saw Yan Bugui, he was like a completely different person!
"Yo, so it's Teacher Yan! I really didn't expect you to live in this courtyard too!"
"It's been a while, I haven't seen you in the Pigeon Market for a few years!"
"You're still so energetic! It looks like your life after retirement is quite good!"
The boss, who had been fierce and didn't give Yi Zhonghai any face just a moment ago, hurriedly changed his attitude and started to curry favor with Yan Bugui.
This time, not only was Yi Zhonghai dumbfounded, but everyone on the side was also dumbfounded!
Yi Zhonghai was also dissatisfied in his heart; he had clearly spoken so politely, yet these people didn't give him any face at all.
Yan Bugui hadn't said a word, yet he was being fawned over by others.
Seeing that Yan Bugui clearly knew these people, Sha Zhu also saw hope!
"First Uncle, you know these people, can you help me? Help me! Only you in this courtyard can save me. I'll be your beast of burden in the future!"
Sha Zhu was also ecstatic; Yan Bugui clearly had a high status among these people!
However, Yan Bugui had absolutely no intention of saving Sha Zhu; after all, Sha Zhu's current situation was entirely his own fault.
He was greedy and insisted on rushing to borrow money to do business with Xu Damao.
And Yan Bugui hadn't failed to advise Sha Zhu before; it was just that Sha Zhu was too greedy!
"Yes, it's been a few years since I've been to the Pigeon Market. I didn't expect your business to be so extensive!"
"Don't worry, his business has nothing to do with me. Do whatever you want!"
Yan Bugui was full of airs at this moment; clearly, the status of the two could be seen at a glance.
In the past, when Yan Bugui was helping Chen Tian, he often helped Chen Tian go to the Pigeon Market to inquire about news!
After going back and forth, the Pigeon Market also knew that Yan Bugui's relationship with Chen Tian was not shallow.
With Chen Tian, the big Buddha, behind Yan Bugui, the people in the Pigeon Market naturally had to be polite to Yan Bugui.
"Good? Teacher Yan, that's great! We thought this waste could climb up to someone like you!"
"Then when you have time, say hello to Boss Chen for me. If there's a chance for cooperation in the future, you must think of my small business!"
This person was also very happy; after all, Yan Bugui was someone many people in the Pigeon Market wanted to curry favor with, and he was actually so particular about his attitude toward him!
Afterward, Sha Zhu was carried away by more than a dozen people from the Pigeon Market in front of everyone in the courtyard!
However, no one wanted to step forward to say a word for Sha Zhu; after all, they had long known about Sha Zhu owing money!
And now that Sha Zhu couldn't pay back a single cent, it was normal for these people to take Sha Zhu away!
After all, Sha Zhu had nothing, and borrowed 200 yuan just by relying on a name. Anyone could guess that the money Sha Zhu borrowed wasn't clean money.
Enjoying such high returns, one naturally had to bear the high risks brought by these returns!
And Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng were also completely stunned on the spot; they didn't know what to do for a moment.
That bastard Sha Zhu actually wanted to sell the two of them just now!
Fortunately, they were old, weak, sick, and disabled, and no one took a fancy to them.
Otherwise, if they were really sold into the Pigeon Market, the chance of them coming out in this lifetime would be slim.
But the two of them thought about it again. Now that Sha Zhu had been taken away, they didn't know when he would be back.
Wouldn't Sha Zhu's house be something they could live in?
And there was food and drink in Sha Zhu's house; it was completely heaven.
"That damned bastard He Yuzhu! He couldn't pay back the money himself, yet he wanted to sell the two of us!"
"Fortunately, Heaven has eyes, letting such a beast who couldn't pay back the money be taken away! Bang Geng, that's great! Our good days are coming!"
"We don't have to sleep in this courtyard anymore, we'll just sleep comfortably in the house!"
"That damned beast clearly didn't treat us as human beings. It's best if he dies outside!"
Jia Zhangshi, who had suddenly figured it out, was especially happy at this moment, feeling that it would be great if Sha Zhu never came back!
The expression on Bang Geng's face also completely changed; Sha Zhu being taken away was really too beneficial for them!
