Their noise and noise this early in the morning attracted many villagers who got up early to watch.
When they heard that they were looking for Li Zheng, a tough-looking black boy took a few steps and pulled Li Zheng from behind the crowd: "Grandpa, grandpa, they are looking for you!"
"What are you doing here so early in the morning? You don't have to work?" Sun Haoying, a resident of Cuizhu Village, was pushed out by his grandson, feeling quite embarrassed.
He faintly heard a commotion outside Sun Fucheng's house in the morning, and his first reaction was that something had happened to his youngest son.
Unexpectedly, someone came and said they were coming to Sun's house to collect debts.
When he saw the fat woman, he couldn't help but frown.
Why did the Sun Fucheng family ask this family to borrow money? This family is famous for being scoundrels who pluck the hair of geese and chop the flesh off the legs of mosquitoes.
Unless the average person is in extreme difficulty, or even at a critical moment of life or death, they may not go to someone else to borrow money, for fear of getting stuck.
Sun Fucheng was too impulsive. Why did he risk his whole family's lives for the sake of his little son?
When the fat woman saw Li Zheng, she looked impatient: "It is only natural to pay back debts! Even if you are Li Zheng, you have to be reasonable, right?"
"His uncle, you came just in time! You have to make the decision for our family! The head of the family paid off their money yesterday, and now they insist on saying that they haven't paid back, and they want to drag my Qingya to pay off the debt!" Mrs. Wang
Seeing Li Zheng, he also cheered up and defended himself.
"You said you paid it off? But why do I still have this IOU? Huh! Don't tell lies!" The fat woman shook the note in her hand with arrogance.
Zhuqing looked at the note in her hand and knew that all the problems lay in this note. Based on her understanding of the Sun family, and thinking of the conversation she heard between the couple before falling asleep the night before yesterday, she concluded that
The probability of paying off the debt is high, and arrears should be almost non-existent.
So she said to the fat woman: "If you can, just give us the IOU to take a look at! Don't bring a fake one to blackmail someone!"
"Just take a look, who's afraid of who!" The fat woman didn't take precautions against Zhu Qing, and pushed the note in front of her: "Look carefully! This is a genuine IOU, with Sun Fucheng's fingerprints on it!"
The opportunity was right in front of her! The moment she handed over the note, Zhu Qing took action!
She grabbed the note, ran into the house, and stuffed it into the still smoking stove. Sparks flew everywhere, and the note quickly turned into black ashes!
By the time the fat woman reacted and rushed over screaming and cursing, it was already too late.
"You little bitch! Give me back that IOU!" she shouted, trying to pull Zhu Qing away.
Zhuqing took advantage of her petite figure and was able to avoid it quickly.
"Grandpa Li Zheng, if my father really paid back the money, shouldn't the IOU be given to our family?" Zhu Qing gasped while hiding from the fat woman and asked Li Zheng, who was also stunned.
"Well, it's time to return it to your family!" Li Zheng replied subconsciously.
Wang didn't expect that Zhu Qing's way of handling the problem was so simple and crude. But when she heard Zhu Qing ask this question, she came to her senses.
"The boss didn't say anything about the IOU the night before!" She remembered that she hadn't seen her husband get back the IOU or any other note. Obviously, it was very likely that he forgot to mention it.
"So now that there is no IOU, does that mean we no longer owe them any money?" Zhu Qing asked.
Li Zheng looked at Zhu Qing, and he didn't expect that honest man Sun Fucheng would give birth to such a clever girl!
Based on his knowledge of Sun Fucheng and his wife, he could conclude that the fat woman was here for blackmail today. It was just that she had a so-called IOU in her hand before, which was difficult for him to handle.
Now, he would naturally not be polite to that woman: "I'm talking about the Wu Liang family, don't think that our Sun family members are easy to bully! It's obvious that Fucheng has paid you back, but you're still entangled! Hurry up and leave,
If you don’t leave, I will sue you for blackmail and disturbing the people!”
Li Zheng's words are of course very important in the countryside.
Seeing that the IOU was gone, the fat woman was so righteous and righteous. Knowing that she could not get any favors today, she said harshly: "Okay, okay, you Sun family members will work together to steal my money. Give it to me."
Let’s see!”
She said this with great swagger, but actually walked away in dejection.
This farce is finally over.
Mrs. Wang looked at Li Zheng with a face full of gratitude: "Thank you, uncle, for taking care of me! Thank you very much!"
Li Zheng, who is over sixty years old, glanced at the honest Wang family, then at Zhu Qing who was standing beside her, smiled at her, and said: "You don't have to thank me! If you want to thank me, I'd better thank your Qingya. If not,
She's so smart, your family will be in big trouble!"
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Well, it only works if you keep talking. If you hadn't kept talking, I'm afraid what happened today wouldn't have been so easy."
Li Zheng saw that Mrs. Wang was a sensible person, and his attitude towards her became a little more friendly: "In the future, if you children are in urgent need of money, don't ask other people to borrow money from them. We are not the ones to mess with people like that!
That will break up the family! As for any trouble in their family in the future, you still have to ask Fucheng to clear things up with them. Without the IOU, I guess they won't be able to cause any trouble."
Mrs. Wang knew that he meant well and nodded in response: "It's not that the child is seriously ill. Everyone has borrowed it all. The child's father was also afraid that he would not be able to borrow the money and had no other choice, so he asked them to borrow it.
Never again!"
Li Zheng nodded, and then asked Zhu Qing: "What happened to the mule cart that Qian'er sent you back? I heard it was Qingya who saved the noble man?"
It started to rain heavily the day before yesterday, and no one noticed when a mule cart came to the village. Later, Zhu Qing took the cart home again, and the cart driver, Lao Ding, carried so many good things to their home, which naturally attracted the attention of the villagers.
Li Zheng also heard some clues from the words of those who came to Zhuqing's house to collect debts. That's why he readily stepped forward to help today.
When he asked Zhuqing now, he naturally wanted to confirm the villagers' guess.
Zhuqing listened to his question and roughly understood what he was thinking.
People in the world tend to follow the trend, so Li Zheng helped them and asked her personally about what happened the day before yesterday. Now that she has made it clear in public, it should be beneficial to her family's future development in Cuizhu Village.
So he openly admitted: "Yes. I went to Dr. Qian for medical treatment the day before yesterday, and happened to meet people from the Zhou family in the county. They mercifully paid me for my brother's diagnosis and medicine. I also happened to help them.
I’m doing a favor to my family. In order to thank me, the Zhou family sent many thank-you gifts to my family!"
"The Zhou family in the county? Is it the Zhou family whose ancestors produced a champion?" Li Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard that Zhu Qing actually had such a relationship with the Zhou family.
When the people in the village heard Li Zheng ask this, they couldn't help but say: "Hey, this girl is so lucky! She actually has the ability to help the Zhou family!"
Zhuqing nodded and answered Li Zheng: "Well, it's the Zhou family. Their house occupies two streets."
"You're a good girl! You're a lucky one! Did you go to the county yesterday?" Li Zheng couldn't help but ask again. He was already thinking about how to build a good relationship with the Zhuqing family, and then he said slowly
Maybe I can get close to the Zhou family in the future.
"No, I went to help in Doctor Qian's pharmacy!" Since Zhu Qing planned to show off his medical skills in the future, he would not directly say that he went to Doctor Qian's house to help light the fire.
