Chapter 51 Forcing Debt

As the old saying goes: It’s not cold when it snows, it’s cold when it melts.

A group of children seemed not to know what cold was. Even though their cheeks and hands were red from the cold, they were still playing in the snow.

The little boys were having snowball fights. Some had long-range attacks that didn't hurt even if they were hit on the body. Some were just playing fast, chasing each other with snowballs in their hands, catching them, and stuffing the snowballs into the opponent's neck...

The girls are quieter, and most of them are building snowmen. Even if they are piled crookedly, they are still playing happily. This snowman is called Xiaomei, and that snowman is called Xiaoshuai...

There are also children who specially step on the snow, stepping on the unswept areas along the walls, leaving a long string of footprints...

There are also children riding a simple sled, with the one pulled in front and the one pushed in the back, and then another person will ride on the next trip...

There are also children who slipped and slipped, their center of gravity was unstable, and they fell to the ground. Without crying or getting upset, they got up and continued...

Even though they were having fun now and didn't care if their cotton clothes and shoes got wet, they would probably be beaten happily after a while.

You see, the happiness of parents and children is not the same.

Most of the residents in the alleys cleared a small path outside their doors, but no one cleaned the main road.People and cars came and went, and soon the snow on the road turned black, and finally turned into a puddle of black ice water.

Tang Zhitong thinks this may be because there are no sanitation or urban management agencies yet.

Tang Zhitong finished his first delivery and returned to the branch.

Qian Zhongping pointed to an old man sitting in front of the stove and said to Tang Zhitong, "Xiao Tang, someone is looking for him."

"Hey, Eucalyptus is back. Call me so you can wait." The old man turned around and greeted Tang Zhitong.

"Thank you, Sister Qian." Tang Zhitong thanked Qian Zhongping first, put down the parcel while speaking, and then said hello to Lao Wan: "Shopkeeper Wan, long time no see, what brought you here?"

"It's been a while since I last saw you. Don't I want to come and see you? My old arms and legs don't work as expected. It's not easy to come here. Can we go out and have a chat?" Shopkeeper Wan stood up and put his mink hat on his head. After buttoning up, he picked up the civilized stick beside him and planned to walk out.

Of course Tang Zhitong agreed to accompany him, but his heart suddenly twitched. He didn't have a close relationship with Shopkeeper Wan. He definitely didn't come to the branch just to check on himself. He was probably a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a rooster, so he had no good intentions!
The two of them came to the entrance of the business hall and found a slightly open space.

It was cold, there were no people on the street, and I was not afraid of being heard when I spoke.

"Euclidean, this is a bit hard to say, but I still have to say it." Shopkeeper Wan put his hands on the faucet of the civilization stick, "Something happened at home recently, and I need money urgently."

"Shopkeeper Wan, you are not doing this properly. It's not even half a year yet, and it's written in black and white for one year." Wen Xian knew what he meant, and after understanding what Lao Wan meant, Tang Zhitong was so angry. Wearing a sleek mink coat, this coat alone costs hundreds of dollars.

"I know it hasn't been half a year, so I opened my mouth today at the expense of my old face. I was wrong first. I don't need the interest for these few months. You just need to give me the principal." Shopkeeper Wan is not anxious at all. He came at the right time.

In Lao Wan's view, after borrowing money, young people suddenly have a decent job. It is self-evident where the money goes.

"What if I insist on paying it back after one year as agreed?" Tang Zhitong suppressed his anger. This is not asking for money. This is for his own house!

"I came to your work today to discuss things with you. You see, I went to a place where no one was around to talk to you on a cold day. Didn't I embarrass you?" Lao Wan said calmly and calmly. The tone didn't change, but the content of the words sounded wrong.

The reason why we are stuck today is that Lao Wan found out that Tang Zhitong was about to become a regular employee, and the matter of real estate development must be done before Tang Zhitong became a regular employee.If Tang Zhitong doesn't cooperate, he will directly cause trouble in the branch. Not to mention becoming a regular employee, this job will have to disturb Huang.

If Tang Zhitong continues to cause trouble after becoming a regular employee, he will at most be punished, but there is a big difference here...

When Tang Zhitong heard what Lao Wan said, he calmed down immediately. This old boy really had no good intentions today.

Tang Zhitong is not afraid of Lao Wan making trouble, but if there is trouble, it will involve two questions: What was the money used for?Tang Zhitong didn’t buy a job, but would others think so?And Zhang Guifang will also know that the house has been mortgaged...

"Do I have to thank you for my feelings?" Tang Zhitong understood that he had no choice, either pay back the money or sell the house.

"Who said we are old neighbors? After all, I have watched you grow up. If it has a bad influence on you, I will not tolerate it." Lao Wan is cunning, but the scene is very beautiful.

"Give me half a month and I'll think of something to work with." Tang Zhitong has no money, and 2000 is not a small amount, but he can't give up the house. He wants to work harder.

"Seven days, I'll wait for the money." Lao Wan remained unhurried and even had a smile on his face.

"Ten days, if you can't get it together by then, you can take care of the house." Tang Zhitong gritted his teeth, thinking that you are in a hurry to use shitty money, which is extremely unethical.

"Okay, man, let's talk, spit and nail, then I'll wait." After Lao Wan finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Tang Zhitong perfunctorily, walked back slowly, waved to a human-powered tricycle at the intersection, got on the bus and left .

Shopkeeper Wan wasn't worried at all about Tang Zhitong being able to raise enough money. He himself was a loan shark, and he knew that people in this business wouldn't be able to lend all kinds of money. They either had family assets or mortgages.

In Tang Zhitong's situation, he couldn't borrow money from other lenders.

As for whether Tang Zhitong could borrow enough 2000 from others, Lao Wan thought the possibility was slim.

The dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the son of the mouse can make holes.

For a poor family, even if they have a good job, most of the people they get to know in a short period of time are poor. A poor person can hardly feed himself. Where can he get the money?
Tang Zhitong watched Lao Wan go away, wishing he could give him a shot from behind. This old thing was so sinister, he wanted to take advantage of it!

Tang Zhitong worked hard for three or four months to accumulate more than 2000 yuan of supplies. He can make some money by selling now, but not much. Even if he can successfully ship the goods and pay back the money in these ten days, what will happen in the next few years?
Tang Zhitong doesn't want to borrow money from anyone. Money is a test of friendship, love, friendship, and family ties at any time. If you're not careful, everything may be lost.

Tang Zhitong was also unwilling to give up the house to others.

The question is, how do you get together 2000 yuan in ten days?
Tang Zhitong had no clue for a while. A penny is a big deal for a hero, let alone 2000?

However, what should be done must be done. When delivering the goods for the second time, a passerby gave Tang Zhitong a reminder.

"Even if the white potatoes are a bit rotten now, they are still edible. It's better than eating elm bark in the early years."

　Hurry up and bury the hole, it has already been guessed by several book friends.

　　Guess how to get the 2000?
