200. Chapter 200 It's time for the baby at home to be breastfed
Minnie was so anxious at the moment that she had no intention of listening to the class anymore. She wished she could just put on her wings and fly home.
But she didn't dare to skip class directly like Li Mengnan. If the old professor could grant Li Mengnan's leave, he might not necessarily grant her leave.
Moreover, as soon as Li Mengnan left, she had to leave with him. Wouldn't that be a clear indication that there was a secret relationship between the two?
What made her even more embarrassed and annoyed was that Li Mengnan made up some bad excuse and said he was going to breastfeed the child. What would it matter if she followed that? Who is the child?
There was no other way, so Minnie could only suppress her anxiety for the time being and force herself to wait for the bell to ring.
Let’s turn around and talk about Li Mengnan.
After running out of the school gate, he hailed a taxi parked at the school gate and went straight to the shanty town of Xiangjun Road where his mother's home was located.
In the car, Li Mengnan kept calling Xiao Baoer, wanting to know what happened at home, but he didn't know whether the little girl didn't have a phone with her or didn't hear her. Her phone was always left unanswered.
This abnormal situation further aggravated Li Mengnan's worries, and he couldn't help but urge the driver: "Master, can you hurry up? I have something urgent."
"These days, if there is no emergency, who will be our taxi? But brother, please don't embarrass me, okay? Even if you are not afraid of fines, I am still afraid of demerit points... I can only do my best, so just be patient and bear with me.
point."
The taxi driver had a good temper and was also a talker. As soon as he opened his chatterbox, he kept talking in a long and verbose manner, not caring whether Li Mengnan was listening or not.
It seems that this is an occupational disease for all taxi drivers.
After finally arriving at the destination amid the taxi driver's murmurings, Li Mengnan threw down twenty yuan and directly opened the door and rushed out.
"Hey! Brother, your Yida... Bah! You still haven't got the change for your fare!"
"Now it's your fare!"
Today is a working day, and it is morning. The huge shantytown is very deserted. There is almost no one visible, only the word "DEMOlish" circled in red circles all over the wall.
Li Mengnan, who was so anxious, didn't even take the path, and jumped directly onto the wall, stepping on the less than thirty centimeters wide wall like a civet cat, and quickly passed through half of the shanty town from above with an agility that ordinary people could not imagine.
Take the nearest direct route to your home.
Fortunately, most of the houses that passed by locked their courtyard doors and no one was inside. Otherwise, if Li Mengnan made such a big fuss, he might be chased and beaten as a thief who climbed over the wall.
Higher height brings wider field of view.
Before he even approached the courtyard gate, Li Mengnan saw five or six adult men standing in the small courtyard of the Xiao family.
The mother and daughter of the Xiao family were standing at the door of the main house. Xiao Hui looked sad, while Xiao Baoer, who was supporting her beside her, glared at the men in front of her without fear.
Seeing that there were no injuries on the two people's bodies and no signs of messy clothes, Li Mengnan felt calm and quickly observed the situation at the scene.
There were no excavators driven by students from Lanxiang Technical School, and there were no temporary workers in urban management uniforms. Obviously, this was not a forced demolition operation.
"You grown men still want to be shameless? Who do you want to go to who owes you money? What kind of skills do you have to bully us orphans and widowed mothers?"
Although Li Mengnan didn't know what the two sides had said before, Xiao Baoer's angry rebuke made him instantly understand the key point of the whole matter.
As expected, it was Mitong who was responsible for the crime again.
Li Mengnan guessed that this man could not do anything good if he chose to come back at such a delicate time.
"X your mother! When an adult is talking, it's too small for a child to interrupt! You **** kid, do you have the right to speak? Get out of here..."
A tough man with a clean shaven head and a sinewy face kicked the pony at his feet. His fierce expression frightened Xiao Baoer, and he subconsciously hugged Xiao Hui's arm next to him.
Snapped--!
A brick flew from nowhere and hit the bald man on the back of the head, breaking it into two pieces on the spot. The huge impact directly knocked the 180-meter-plus strong man staggering and making him utter a sound.
He didn't say anything, rolled his eyes and threw himself on the ground.
Everyone in the hospital was startled by the sudden flying bricks. After a few seconds, they reacted. The man in the lead, with a haircut similar to a mohawk and long facial features, said angrily: "What a fool! Daqiang!...
...Who did this? Get out of here!"
"You know, if it were the evil Mi Di, if you were to break into a house without permission, what you just received wouldn't be bricks, but No. 12 deer bullets... You have to thank this harmonious society for saving you.
"
A lazy voice suddenly came from above their heads, and the group of unidentified men discovered that at some point, there was an extra young man above the main entrance of Xiao's courtyard.
Since their backs were facing the sun, the men in the courtyard could only vaguely see the outline of a human figure looking down at them against the dazzling light background. The hem of his open coat rustled in the morning breeze. It looked like something out of a cartoon.
A strong sense of déjà vu as the righteous hero appears.
"Mom, it's my brother who's back!"
Although Xiao Bao'er couldn't see Li Mengnan's face clearly, she could hear Li Mengnan's voice. She couldn't help but hold her mother Xiao Hui's hand tightly with excitement. Her big, bright eyes were full of stars, and she looked up at the door with admiration.
The very coquettish figure above with her hands on her hips.
"Oh? Are you from this family too?"
When the leading man heard Xiao Baoer's words, he couldn't help but be startled. Didn't it mean that there were only three mothers and daughters in this family now? When did there be an additional man?
Although the situation seemed to have changed, the leading man did not think that the extra young boy would bring them much trouble. He could not help but raise his head and said disdainfully: "Boy, so you are the one who threw the brick just now? You are calling this deliberate
Do you know the harm?”
"Ale? Did I go to the wrong crew again? Brother, your character seems to be a gangster or something like that, right? The following lines should be 'Brothers, copy the guys shoulder to shoulder'... To be honest
, I’m not used to you talking about the law when you open your mouth like this.”
Li Mengnan leaned over slightly and jumped down from the nearly three-meter-high entrance hall, landing as light and silent as a civet cat.
The move Li Mengnan showed clearly surprised the leading man. He was more or less a martial arts practitioner, and he knew very well how much body balance and muscle coordination were needed to "land silently".
Even if you don't practice anything else and just focus on this one, it will never be possible to eliminate the noise so thoroughly in just three to five years.
No wonder this young-looking boy showed no fear when facing them from beginning to end. He thought he was just a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers, but it turned out that he actually had some hard skills in his hands.
"You actually dare to come down? Do you think I won't dare to touch you if you hurt my brother?"
The leading man sneered, and all the younger brothers behind him immediately cooperated with each other in ferocious looks. The timing was perfect, and they were obviously very skilled in cooperating.
"Brother, be careful!" Xiao Baoer ran up from behind and held Li Mengnan's arm tightly with a worried look on his face.
Li Mengnan raised his hand to signal Xiao Baoer not to worry. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the men in front of him with feigned surprise. He said in a loud voice: "Hey, yo, guess what I saw? The 18th Shaolin Bronze Man? He didn't even take off his clothes.
You are not applying gold dust, you are not a professional cosplayer... Besides, did you see with one eye that I took the photo of the brick? These days, buildings are getting taller and taller, and falling objects are too common.
, maybe this brick blew down from the roof of a nearby building? Don’t be too shameless to blame someone else if you can’t find the murderer!”
The man at the head was so angry that he almost vomited blood - Damn! I think the most shameless one is you! You were obviously the one who shot the bricks, but you actually pretended to be an innocent victim! Objects fell from a high altitude, and X objects fell on you!
! Are there any buildings in this shantytown? The nearest tall building is 200 meters away. How strong the wind is to blow such a heavy brick?
Xiao Baoer was also amused by Li Mengnan's lies. He hugged Li Mengnan's arm tightly again and looked at the man in front of him with a proud look. The meaning was obvious - we just don't admit it, what can you do to us?
?
Even though the man in the lead kept shouting with a tigerish face, he was really helpless when Li Mengnan was acting like a rogue.
He is just a person responsible for collecting debts. Although he sometimes resorts to violence and threats as a last resort, in the end he is still a legitimate professional and cannot act as unscrupulously as a real gangster.
Now it's broad daylight, and it's a crowded residential area. It's already taboo for them to break into private houses. If there is another violent incident, they will be unreasonable no matter how they explain it to the police station. Even if
The boss above can't protect them either.
"We'll talk about hurting my brother later. Let's get down to business."
At this moment, the leading man could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, pinching his nose to recognize this bad luck in advance. Anyway, the days are long, and he didn't believe that this kid would never go out again.
"Who are you? I'm just going to talk to you about business?"
Li Mengnan twisted a strand of Xiao Baoer's long hair around his finger several times and played with it repeatedly as if he was very interested, without even looking at the man in front of him.
Grass!
The leader of the men couldn't help but curse in his heart. He has been in the debt collection business for so long. How could he not be so majestic when he went out to work? He has always been the only one to hold his thigh and beg, but no one has ever dared to talk to him so confidently.
Could it be that I didn’t read the almanac when I went out today? Why did I meet such a difficult master this time?
The man in the lead has now realized what is meant by "the uncle is the one who owes the debt, and the grandson is the one who owes the debt."
"Okay, let me introduce myself. My surname is Gou. This is my business card."
While talking, the man patiently took out a business card from his pocket and threw it to Li Mengnan with an unkind expression.
"These days, gangsters are starting to print business cards? Do you want them to be so high-end?"
Li Mengnan was a little surprised. He stretched out two fingers to accurately grasp the business card flying in the air, and glanced at it for a few times.
"Jindu Credit Company, general manager of business, do you want to... give a gift?" Li Mengnan couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the other person again, without concealing the extremely unflattering smile on his face, "Haha, it's really... the person lives up to his name, fortunately
Nice to meet you!"
He is fat and has a bread-shaped face. Except for the ears, the other facial features are all grown together. Doesn’t it look like a big bun...
Li Mengnan suddenly admired the parents of the guy in front of him so much that they were so prescient in naming their child.
The man once again had the urge to vomit blood. He also knew that his name was very strange, and coupled with his appearance, it had an amazing comedic effect.
But the problem is that no one has ever dared to show it unabashedly like Li Mengnan, but he can't do anything to the bastard kid in front of him yet. Do you think he can not be depressed?
"Okay, I don't have time to talk to you about this nonsense."
The bun-shaped man named Gou Buli raised his right hand, and a man in a suit with glasses next to him immediately took out a document from his briefcase and handed it into his hand.
"I'm just here to inform you that your family's loan has expired. If you can't repay it today, we will forcibly take back the collateral in the contract...that is, this small courtyard according to the terms of the contract."
As soon as these words came out, Li Mengnan clearly felt Xiao Baoer's whole body trembling next to him, and the small hand holding his arm gradually tightened unconsciously.
Li Mengnan patted Xiao Baoer's hand to indicate that he was there for everything, then picked up the contract handed over by Gou Buli and read through it briefly.
As expected, the borrower in this contract was none other than the original male owner of the family, the father of Minnie and Xiao Baoer - Mitong.
"The signature on this contract is Mi Tong, and the owner here is now my mother Xiao Hui. I think you are asking for the debt from the wrong person." Li Mengnan sneered and threw the contract back.
"Boy, if you're a man, you have to act bravely... I won't talk about what happened just now. This is a legally binding contract written in black and white. Do you think it's interesting for you to be so messy? We are all civilized people.
Why don't you just leave peacefully and abide by the contract, otherwise it will go to court and everyone will look bad."
Although Gou Buli did not read much and had little education, he had been in the debt collection business for several years and was quite experienced in handling various situations.
The hooligans are not to be feared, but the hooligans are literate.
I have to admit that Goubuli's words are reasonable and well-founded and have no flaws.
There is only one rule in everything. If this group of people comes to be tough, Li Mengnan is 200% sure that they will not be able to walk out of the door standing upright today. But these people are here to reason. Li Mengnan really took it for a while.
There's nothing they can do.
After all, once the law is involved, what he has to face is not a group of debt collectors, but a country's order system.
"Well, as you said, everyone is civilized, so let's solve the current problem in a civilized way."
Li Mengnan touched Xiao Baoer's hair and motioned for her to bring over a few mats. Then he sat across from Gou Buli and other men, quite like Mr. Guan's style when he went to a meeting alone.
"The borrower in the contract is Mitong, why don't you go to him and ask for the money? As far as I know, Mitong is staying in Sanshan City now." Li Mengnan said solemnly.
"What? My dad...that person is back?" Xiao Baoer exclaimed in a low voice. She was completely unexpected by this news.
"I don't want to take care of your housework, and I can't take care of it." Gou Buli obviously didn't intend to talk to him about this matter, and said a little impatiently: "I just want to ask for debts, since Mitong used this money back then.
The mortgage on the house is still unpaid, so I can only come to collect the house."
Li Mengnan also knew that the owner of this property was only named Mi Tong, so Gou Buli's words were completely true, but he still thought for a moment and said: "As far as I know, Mi Tong has disappeared for many years because of debt evasion.
According to the Marriage Law, if a couple has been separated for more than three years, it can be regarded as divorced.
In the absence of a prenuptial agreement, the joint property of the spouses will be divided equally, and if there are children, the children will also have the right to divide the property.
Mitong had a daughter before marriage, and another daughter after marrying my mother. In other words, Mitong only owns a quarter of this property at most, so you have no right to take over this property, right?"
"Holy shit! Are you studying law?"
Gou Buli was a little crazy. After collecting debts for so long, this was the first time he met someone who could use legal provisions to make him speechless.
"Brother, you are so awesome!"
Seeing that the house was lost and recovered, Xiao Baoer couldn't help but excitedly hugged Li Mengnan's neck and kissed him hard on the face, the admiration in his eyes could not be greater.
"No, no, I just have a lot of free time and read too many miscellaneous books." Li Mengnan waved his hand, looking very humble.
Although it is slow and troublesome to call up the deep memory in the subconscious mind, it is still very useful as a database for query.
