Chapter 365: Full of Logic
Huang Dongheng stood up suddenly, the hair on his head almost stood up, he couldn't believe the news he heard.
"What?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Huang Dongheng retorted: "Don't joke with me like this. My wife just brought two people into the club today, and now you're calling me to tell me they've run away? You can't do that. This kind of joke is not funny at all!"
The owner of the chess and card room on the other end of the phone was also furious: "Fuck, such a big thing, would I joke with you? The owner of Zhenbao Restaurant has changed. Go and ask around. Liang Shuzhen and Zuo Chunrong, those two bastards, have secretly sold all their properties. Now they can't be contacted. What else could they be but running away? Could it be that they went on vacation to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand? I also invested money in it!"
“…”
After hanging up the phone, Huang Dongheng collapsed on the sofa, his eyes dull and his expression distraught. He was really devastated by the news just now.
Tian Jiahong, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard Huang Dongheng arguing with someone on the phone. When she turned around and saw Huang Dongheng like this, she immediately asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Huang Dongheng covered his face with his hands and collapsed on the sofa. He looked at the ceiling through his fingers and saw only a white color, so white that it was frightening.
He had previously invested all the 100,000 yuan he had earned from running an Internet cafe into the mutual aid association, and had already received a month's interest.
Seeing the interest money arrive as promised, the couple was extremely excited a few days ago and thought about making a big move. Apart from leaving a few thousand yuan for emergencies, they invested almost all of their belongings.
I originally thought that with this, even if I didn’t open an Internet cafe in the future, I would be able to live a comfortable life.
Unexpectedly, the mutual aid association ran away right after the money was invested. What a sin.
When Tian Jiahong saw that Huang Dongheng didn't answer her, she became very angry and yelled, "Huang Dongheng, I'm asking you a question. Are you mute?"
Huang Dongheng suddenly sat up straight, his face grim, and roared at his wife: "It's all your fault, all your fault! If you weren't greedy and wanted to take shortcuts, how could we have ended up like this? The mutual aid association was disbanded and ran away! All our money was wasted!"
"What?"
Tian Jiahong shuddered all over, and the basin of dishes and chopsticks she was holding fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and scattered all over the floor.
She didn't care about the dishes and rushed over to pounce on Huang Dongheng, her hands on the sofa, her eyes as big as little lanterns.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Huang Dongheng sighed and spread his hands out, like a salted fish being slaughtered on a chopping board.
"Of course it's true! The money you borrowed to open the Internet cafe has not been repaid yet. Tell me what to do now. I told you to pay back the money after you make money. You will be debt-free. You said that since those people haven't come to collect the debt, you can delay it for a few days and earn the interest on the money... Now, where is the money? You wanted to earn the interest, but they took your principal!"
Tian Jiahong didn't believe it at all. She said, "Don't scare yourself. Who is he? He's just a mahjong parlor owner. What does he know? Do you know who runs the Mutual Aid Association? The Lingdong Merchants! Do you know what status the Lingdong Merchants have? To put it bluntly, even if it's a bank, it probably doesn't have as much money as them! How could they run away?"
Seeing that his wife Tian Jiahong still had the same expression of not giving up until Huang He was gone, Huang Dongheng sighed and muttered, "Don't let your imagination run wild here. That guy has also invested money! He has personally asked about it, so could it be false?"
After finishing speaking, Huang Dongheng once again fell into deep regret: "Hey, you, we were lucky to open this Internet cafe, but you were greedy..."
Tian Jiahong didn't wait for Huang Dongheng to finish, she put her hands on her hips, stared at Huang Dongheng with her triangular eyes, and said fiercely: "You can say these things now? Weren't you very happy when you received the interest? Besides, can you blame me for this? I didn't know they would suddenly run away!"
Huang Dongheng was about to refute when there was a knock on the door. The sound was very urgent. After just a few seconds, it turned into banging on the door. It was so loud that the whole house seemed to be shaking.
Tian Jiahong was furious. When he heard the voice, he immediately yelled, "Who is this? So rude! Are you looking for death?"
He walked over aggressively, suddenly opened the door, and the fist that was hammering the door was not retracted for a moment, and hit her forehead.
"Ouch……"
Tian Jiahong only felt a black screen in front of his eyes. He took several steps back involuntarily and felt his head buzzing.
"Which bastard? Want to kill someone? Ouch, it hurts so much."
Huang Dongheng jumped up from the sofa as if he was equipped with springs, came over to support Tian Jiahong, and said distressedly: "Wife, how are you?"
He raised his head and was about to curse, but when he looked carefully, he found that the person in the front was actually his mother Bai Sirong, followed by several relatives. He was immediately dumbfounded.
"Mom? Uncle? You guys..."
The people knocking on the door were Bai Sirong and several relatives who were brought by Tian Jiahong to register as members of the Mutual Aid Association this morning.
At the instigation of Tian Jiahong, they emptied their savings and planned to buy a membership and sit at home to earn the interest, as if it were early pension.
Originally, they had successfully joined the association with the help of Tian Jiahong, and were happily planning to have breakfast and dinner and go home. However, they suddenly heard from others that the mutual aid association had suddenly run away. They were shocked and angry, and ran to Tian Jiahong with Bai Sirong to ask for an explanation.
"Okay, so you are home. Why didn't you open the door after knocking for so long? Are you trying to play dead?"
"You are such a pervert. You have killed my whole family, including my life savings."
"R... return the money!"
“We want to withdraw from the association!”
Several relatives squeezed in, crying and making a fuss. They looked at Tian Jiahong with bloodshot eyes and gnashed teeth, as if they wanted to eat Tian Jiahong alive.
After Tian Jiahong saw the situation clearly, she naturally lost her temper. After all, it was her mother-in-law who punched her, and she didn't have the courage to turn against her mother-in-law.
Faced with the relentless pressure from several relatives, Tian Jiahong chose to play dumb and asked, "What do you mean by quitting the association? I don't understand . Why are you quitting the association for no reason?"
A relative yelled angrily, "Now the news has spread. The chairman of the mutual aid fund Liang Shuzhen and the vice chairman Zuo Chunrong have already run away. Who else are you trying to deceive? Return the money quickly! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Tian Jiahong saw that the truth could no longer be concealed, but she still argued, "Why would you come to me to withdraw from the club? Besides, I am also a victim, and my money was also defrauded."
Although after in-depth analysis, what Tian Jiahong said was not wrong, but at this time, who would still talk to you about reason?
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. It was you, Tian Jiahong, who swore that there would be absolutely no problem and you even personally brought us into the club. Now the president and vice president have run away together and we can't find them. If we don't come to you, who else can we go to?
"Humph, who knows? You just took us to sign up for membership in the morning, and they ran away in the afternoon? How could such a coincidence happen in the world? Who knows if you two teamed up to defraud us of our money?"
"You even cheat your own relatives out of their money . You are not a human being!"
"Stop talking nonsense and pay the money quickly. If you don't, we will call the police and sue you for fraud!"
Even Bai Sirong looked at his daughter-in-law Tian Jiahong fiercely, his expression excited: "Those are my coffin money and retirement money. If you don't give them back to me, I will die in front of you!"
Seeing Bai Sirong forcing her, Tian Jiahong's face suddenly showed a fierce light. She didn't care about anything else and directly retorted: "How dare you say that? I told you not to do this, but you refused to listen! You have been frugal every day, scraped together some money over the years, and borrowed tens of thousands from them, but you still want to do it. Now you ask me for money? Okay, I want to see how you die in front of me!"
Anyway, things have come to this point and Tian Jiahong has no way out.
Now that she herself is in debt, how could she possibly care about Bai Sirong's life or death?
What's more, she couldn't persuade Bai Sirong to do it, and he insisted on taking out the coffin book to play with, and she felt wronged. Now Bai Sirong is still blaming her, how could she not be angry?
Huang Dongheng frowned and said, "Mom, now that things have become so chaotic, you should stop making trouble here."
"I'm making trouble?"
"Huang Dongheng, who gave birth to you?"
"Are you still speaking for this bad woman?"
"You are a worthless creature."
“…”
Bai Sirong's barrage of criticism was so intense that Huang Dongheng knelt down and begged for mercy.
Tian Jiahong took a few deep breaths, rolled his eyes, and came up with an idea.
"Stop making trouble. I didn't cheat you out of money. I am also a victim. I owe hundreds of thousands of dollars now. Even if you cut me into pieces, I can't come up with the money. However, I think we can go to Huang Jijiao. Her family lives in a villa now and has plenty of money. We are all in debt now. If we ask her for some money, she won't just stand by and watch us die, right?"
After hearing this, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense.
"Yes, we have nothing to eat, and they are still living in a villa. It is reasonable for us to ask her for some money, right?"
"Well, Jiaojiao is not a decent person. She lives in a big villa but she doesn't help us get rich. It's her responsibility that we are so poor. She must take responsibility."
Bai Sirong also thought it made sense and said, "Then go find Jiaojiao. I didn't live in her villa for many days. If she doesn't give me money, I will just live in the villa and retire there."
When Tian Jiahong saw that everyone agreed with his plan, he was secretly delighted.
If Huang Jijiao could come up with money to make up for the deficit, then everything would be fine.
At worst, I can just give some to her when I make money in the future.
They can't just live in a big villa and watch their relatives starve, right?
Is this still a human being?
Tian Jiahong quickly came to Bai Sirong and said in a coquettish voice, "That's right, Mom, that's the way it should be. They live in a big villa and don't support you. How can this be? Let's go, we'll go there now."
Blue Sea Dragon Court.
Before daybreak, Li Changjian and Huang Jijiao set out on tricycles to collect and sell vegetables. They were busy until noon and were so tired that they didn't even want to eat. They took a shower and went to sleep.
He was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by the doorbell. Li Changjian opened his eyes dazedly and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Who is it? Come to our house at this time."
All the relatives knew that noon was their sleeping time. Even Li Quanwang would cook for himself when he got home at this time so as not to wake them up.
Huang Jijiao yawned and asked, "Could it be someone from the community? We don't have any property management fees that we haven't paid, right?"
Li Changjian said, "Impossible. Wangzai said we don't have to worry about these things. I'll go and take a look."
Li Changjian went out and opened the door, only to find that the leader was Bai Sirong, followed by Huang Dongheng, Tian Jiahong, and two relatives.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over to support Bai Sirong and led her inside.
"Mom, why are you here? When did you come? You didn't even tell me so I could pick you up."
Bai Sirong said coldly: "Do you have a car? You only know how to speak nice words."
Li Changjian was choked and speechless. He was helpless and turned around and said to Huang Dongheng and the others, "You guys come in too."
After welcoming everyone into the house, Huang Jijiao had already gotten up and was busy taking out fruits, peanuts and other things, and then boiling water to make tea.
Seeing Bai Sirong and the others coming in, Huang Jijiao greeted them with a smile: "Mom, Dongheng, Uncle, why are you here?"
Huang Dongheng said expressionlessly: "Why? Are you surprised? You don't welcome us?"
Huang Jijiao was slightly stunned, and quickly said: "How could that be? You are welcome to come and play often. Come and sit down. I will go make tea."
After getting a few people to sit down, Huang Jijiao and Li Changjian busied themselves bringing out all the food and drinks.
Tian Jiahong sat on the sofa, not being polite, and specifically picked out the expensive nuts to eat. After eating to her satisfaction, she said calmly, "Sister, we came here today for no other reason. We just lost money on our investment, and we want to borrow some money from you to live on."
Huang Jijiao's smile froze when she heard this, and then she said with a wry smile: "How can we have the money?"
Bai Sirong said in a hoarse voice: "No money? How is it possible? How can you live in such a nice villa without money?"
Li Changjian said coldly: "The house belongs to Li Quanwang, not to us."
Huang Dongheng said confidently, "Wangzai's is yours, isn't it? Brother-in-law, we were indeed defrauded of money. I lost more than 200,000 yuan, all the money I earned from running the Internet cafe was lost, and I even lost a lot. The money we gave to mom over the years was also defrauded. And uncle... together we lost about 500,000 yuan. Isn't it that everyone has no money to eat? So I came to borrow some money from you. You live in such a good house, you can't just watch us not even afford to eat, right? We don't ask for much, 50,000 yuan per family, it shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
