Chapter 1223: Kicking Someone When They're Down
Red Star Courtyard
Shazhu, lying in the room, shouted angrily: "Liu Guangtian, what are you yelling about? When did I owe you money?"
Liu Guangtian said arrogantly: "You didn't owe me money, but you owe Brother Weiguo money."
Shazhu's expression changed immediately. Cao Weiguo walked into the room gloating: "Chef He, lying down there, is your leg okay? Tell me, why were you so careless at work?"
Shazhu stared fiercely at Cao Weiguo: "Stop playing the hypocrite here. What do you mean by coming to collect debts at this time? Didn't I already mortgage the house to you? Why are you urging me!"
"Mortgaged the house!"
Qin Yanru, who had walked quickly to the door, opened her eyes wide and turned to look at Qin Huairu in disbelief.
Shazhu's house was already mortgaged?
Then was this house still his?
Qin Yanru: "Sister! What's going on? Don't you know?"
Qin Huairu said awkwardly: "This! This happened too long ago, I forgot."
Qin Yanru felt deceived and trembled with anger: "Sister! You really are my good sister."
Bad job!
Bad reputation!
Now he might be crippled!
Even the house was mortgaged!
In Qin Yanru's heart, Shazhu had plummeted.
Marrying such a Shazhu was living a good life? That was jumping into a fire pit, okay?
Qin Huairu pulled her cousin's hand: "Yanru, the house is just mortgaged. Once Shazhu pays back the money, the house will still be Shazhu's. You don't have to worry. Shazhu has many skills; making money isn't hard for him."
Qin Yanru shook off Qin Huairu's hand: "Sister, how much debt does Shazhu owe?"
Qin Huairu shook her head: "How would I know? I'm just his neighbor."
Cao Weiguo took out the IOU: "I don't look down on your broken house, and I don't want to wait anymore. I need money urgently right now. Give me a straight answer and pay back the money quickly."
Shazhu stiffened his neck: "No money!"
Liu Guangtian stood out: "Hey! Shazhu, are you playing the rogue?"
Chi Ping'an sneered: "Shazhu, you owe money and act like a master? Stop pretending, pay back the money quickly!"
Cui Dake: "Owe money, pay money; it's only right and proper. If you don't pay, believe it or not, I'll throw you out."
Xu Damao: "Shazhu, you're a big man, and you actually do things like owing money and not paying. Aren't you ashamed?"
Shazhu was trembling with anger and wished he could crawl up and beat people.
Yi Zhonghai ran out, glaring angrily at Cao Weiguo: "Cao Weiguo, what are you doing! Don't you see how seriously injured Shazhu is? How can you bear to kick someone when they're down at this time! Do you have any neighborly feelings at all!"
Cao Weiguo walked up and sneered: "You have the nerve to talk to me about feelings? You and Shazhu collected material on me together, holding your breath to report me. You think I don't know?"
Shazhu opened his eyes in panic: "How did you know!"
Cao Weiguo sneered viciously: "If you want people not to know, don't do it yourself. Shazhu, since we've reached this point, you should know that I won't give you any room for bargaining. Five hundred yuan, you must pay me back every single cent."
Shazhu's face turned blue: "No money, just my life. You decide what to do. Anyway, I have no money."
Cao Weiguo walked up, reached out, and pressed on Shazhu's leg. A little force made Shazhu scream in pain.
"Ah, ah, ah... It hurts! It hurts! Cao Weiguo, let go! Ah!"
Yi Zhonghai wanted to step forward, but Chi Ping'an and Liu Guangtian blocked him.
Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong were at the door, their backs feeling cold as they listened to Shazhu's screams.
The residents of the courtyard were all terrified, thinking that this Cao Weiguo was truly ruthless.
It looked like he wanted to fix Shazhu to death!
Cao Weiguo pressed on Shazhu's injured leg: "Not afraid of death, right? I'll fulfill your wish!"
Shazhu shouted in terror: "Don't, don't! I'll pay, I'll pay!"
After speaking, Shazhu looked at Yi Zhonghai with full pleading: "Uncle Yi! Uncle Yi! I beg you! Please help me once!"
Yi Zhonghai said with a sad face: "Zhuzi! Uncle's family has no surplus grain either! My money was all used for the old lady's medical treatment. Even if I smash the pots and sell the iron, I can't take out five hundred yuan!"
Shazhu was full of grief and indignation: "Cao Weiguo! I know I was wrong! I won't dare to report you again! Give me a few days, no, a few months, and I will definitely raise the money to pay you back."
Cao Weiguo sneered: "Shazhu, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Can you raise five hundred yuan? Do you believe it yourself?"
Shazhu: "Then what do you want?"
Cao Weiguo sneered: "Shazhu, for the sake of being neighbors for many years, I'll give you a chance. My buddy here doesn't have his own house right now. It just so happens that you can sell the house to him, and then you'll have money to pay back the debt."
Cui Dake laughed: "Shazhu, although this broken house of yours isn't much, seeing how pitiful you are, I'll be merciful and buy it for four hundred yuan."
Shazhu's eyes were about to split: "Cao Weiguo, you are so ruthless! I just wanted to report you, and you want to take away my house!"
Cao Weiguo: "Think whatever you want. Now you only have two paths: one is to sell the house to pay the debt, and the other is that you will never have peace from now on."
Shazhu's eyes were bloodshot, staring at Cao Weiguo with man-eating eyes: "Cao Weiguo! You are ruthless enough! I, He Yuzhu, will remember you! Isn't it just my house you want? Fine! I'll give it to you!"
Cui Dake took out the money and agreement that Cao Weiguo had given him in advance: "Shazhu, this is four hundred yuan. Take it, and then sign the gift agreement."
Shazhu didn't reach out, gritting his teeth: "Six hundred yuan! I won't sell it for a cent less!"
Cao Weiguo sneered: "Six hundred yuan? Did you take the wrong medicine? Do you want me to call Blind Sun back to cure your brain? At this point, what qualifications do you have to bargain with me?"
Shazhu: "Four hundred yuan is not enough to pay back my debt. When the time comes, I'll sell the house and still be bullied by you!"
Cao Weiguo laughed: "Four hundred yuan isn't enough to pay back the debt, but don't you still have a good godfather? Your godfather has money. If you don't use it now, when will you?"
After speaking, Cao Weiguo turned to look at Yi Zhonghai: "Yi Zhonghai, Shazhu is your godson. He is closer to you than to his own father. Can you bear to see him at a dead end and not lend a helping hand? You can't take out five hundred yuan, but you must have one hundred, right? If you can't even take out one hundred, then I have to doubt whether you are sincere to Shazhu."
Shazhu looked at Yi Zhonghai with pleading, shouting with tears: "Uncle Yi!"
Yi Zhonghai resisted the urge to bite someone, growling with resentment: "I have money! I'll help him pay the remaining one hundred yuan for Shazhu!"
Cao Weiguo clapped his hands and laughed: "Good! Father is kind and son is filial! Full of feelings and righteousness!"
Cui Dake handed the money and agreement to Shazhu, and thoughtfully set up the ink pad for Shazhu.
Shazhu pressed his fingerprint with hatred. Cui Dake took the agreement and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Thanks, Shazhu. At least I have a place to live now." ===== CHAPTER 1225 =====
