Chapter 3 Talking
At this time, Uncle Liu, one of the creditors, walked up to Xia Chen with a cane and sighed: "Xiao Chen, you can be considered a child that I have watched grow up. Why are you so impulsive today? Beat people up.
If a meal can solve the problem, you can just beat them all up one by one."
"Uncle Liu, what you said is so shameful. I didn't even think about taking action. He was the one who attacked me first. I just defeated him today. At most, it was just self-defense. I can't stand."
Let him fight here, right?
Besides, it is only natural that you elders come to ask for debts. As I said just now, our family has never intended to default on the money we owe you from the beginning to the end, but can't we talk to you if we have something to say?
It would only look good if we unite our forces and fight against one family until everyone knows about it? Is this the way to solve the problem?"
Xia Chen's every word and every sentence was plowed into the minds of this group of people, and everyone's faces turned red.
Uncle Liu's face was also red, "Xiaochen, we didn't originally plan to come together, but at noon today, Xiaobo came to me and said, your family has been defeated and your father wants to run away. If we don't block the door, your family will owe you money."
We don’t even want to take our money back.
You also know that it is not easy to make money these days. Not to mention the frightened ones, everyone has young and old at home, and there are so many mouths waiting for food. Money is very thin now, and we are anxious...
"
Xia Chen nodded, with a solemn expression, "I understand your feelings. No one's money comes from the strong wind, and no one's life is easy. But you also said that everyone came here because of Wang Xiaobo's temptation.
, then we have to talk about this matter carefully, please come in, I will give you an explanation."
Old Liu sighed and followed Xia Chen into the yard.
The creditors looked at it and said, "Okay, let's all go in. If we want to solve this matter, we really need to talk about it."
Xia Chen turned around and said to several people: "Bring Wang Xiaobo in too. I'll put the ugly words aside. He ran away. You guys don't want to get a penny."
Several people immediately stepped forward, lifted Wang Xiaobo up and left, feeling more and more that there was something weird about this place.
Xia Mingyu also sighed and was filled with sorrow. The recent days have been even more miserable.
Haoyang'er's factory was suddenly linked to a construction accident. When a steel company in Henan was completed and the ribbon was cut, a package of molten steel suddenly jammed when it was about to be dumped. All the products costing millions of dollars were scrapped.
After a later investigation, it was found that the quality of the low-voltage electrical products provided by our factory was not up to standard.
The leader of the steel plant was furious. He first reported it to the public security and then to the industry and commerce department. Finally, he called the quality supervision department and pressed on, step by step, and his factory was successfully sealed.
What made him even more angry was that after the factory was closed, deputy factory boss Sun and accountant Liu Jie suddenly disappeared. When he came to his senses and checked the accounts, there were only 110 yuan and 65 cents left on the account, and there was nothing left.
Whole.
If you want to say that the two of them did nothing wrong and beat Xia Mingyu to death, you won't believe it. Otherwise, why would the two of them run away?
In the past few days, he had been looking for traces of these two people, but he could not find either alive or dead.
Xia Mingyu was discouraged, and now he felt that his life was unbearable, and he planned to divorce his wife.
Seeing that the creditors were temporarily comforted by his son, Xia Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and turned aside to let the creditors go into the room first.
He was impressed by his son's performance today. He used to be a bastard who didn't work hard and couldn't distinguish between food and grain. Today, when he woke up after a long nap, he seemed like a different person? He knew how to help his father solve his problems.
.
In essence, Xia Mingyu was a very tolerant person. He couldn't understand his son, so he put it aside for the first time.
Nine families live in the large courtyard, which covers an area of about 300 square meters. The space is fully utilized. A few asbestos tiles are put together to form a simple kitchen, and dozens of bricks are stacked to form a utility room. There are pots, pans, and spoons everywhere.
Urinal jars are placed neatly and orderly on both sides of the trail, which is strange, but shows a sense of coordination, and you have to admire the endless creativity of the people.
Xia Chen's family lived in the west wing. In the adjacent room and a half, one room was occupied by his father and stepmother, and the other half was Xia Chen's dwelling.
Xia Chen invited everyone to his father's room, which was transformed into two and a half rooms by his father. A curtain was drawn in the middle of the room, and people slept inside and entertained guests outside.
More than a dozen people entered the house, making the cramped room even more crowded, but no one cared about this at the moment. Getting the money was the most important thing.
There was no room to sit on the broken sofa, so a few people sat on the mats, and when there were no mats left, they stood.
Xia Chen didn't bother to make tea for these people, so he gave each person a bowl of cold tea, drink it if you like.
Xia Mingyu was so embarrassed that he took out his cigarette and spread it around, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making everyone so worried. It's all my fault."
Everyone has smiles on their faces, but who knows if there is a mother selling batch in their hearts?
Seeing his father being so groveling and groveling, Xia Chen felt very uncomfortable, and became even more jealous of Wang Xiaobo, Sun Youlin and Liu Jie.
If we don't get to the bottom of this matter, my brother will be dead once he is reborn.
After everyone lit up their cigarettes, Xia Chen smacked his lips, and while his father was dumbfounded, he also lit one, took a deep puff, and experienced the refreshing feeling of the cigarette melting into his lungs.
"Xiaochen, call everyone into the room. If you have anything to say, just say it. How do you plan to solve your family's debts? You first draw up a plan. Let's put it together. If we can do it, we can
I'll just do what you said. If it doesn't work, we'll discuss other ways." It was Uncle Liu who spoke.
Everyone agreed, saying that Uncle Liu was right, and everyone firmly supported it.
Xia Chen knew something about Uncle Liu. He came from an old bourgeois family. Later, he was hit and his property was confiscated, and his family also passed away. After he was rehabilitated, the policy was implemented and the property was returned. When his old lady touched the switch, it trembled again.
Woke up.
After all, he is a descendant of a capitalist. He has been exposed to business since he was a child. After the reform and opening up, he quickly became bigger and became an upstream supplier to low-voltage electrical appliance manufacturers.
Coupled with his high qualifications, high prestige, and age, he seems to be relying on his old age to get ahead in everything.
Xia Chen didn't argue with him. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Since you've said it all, I won't argue with you anymore. Everyone has seen the problems my factory has encountered.
Ba Qian'er is indeed in difficulty. He wants our family to pay back the money right away. It's impossible. Even if you demolish my house, it won't help. Do you agree with this?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Uncle Liu took a puff of cigarette and nodded slowly: "Everyone is aware of the situation, and we agree with what you said, but you have to come up with a repayment plan, right? What do you think, Mingyu?
"
He always felt that Xia Chen was still a child, and a young man who was disliked by others could still be the master of the family? Besides, it was such a big thing to pay off the family's debts, what a joke.
Xia Mingyu smiled awkwardly at the old man and said, "Yes, you are always right, we should come up with a repayment plan."
No more content?
You should come up with a plan.
Everyone immediately blew their beards and stared. Two or three people bumped into each other and talked in low voices, looking at Xia Mingyu with anger.
Xia Chen watched with cold eyes, taking in all the facial expressions of the creditors. He suddenly felt that this matter was quite interesting, as he could see people's hearts.
Everyone was talking about it.
Uncle Liu used his crutches to hit the ground, and the cement floor made two crisp sounds. He said with a serious face: "Why, you don't take me as an old man seriously, do you? Do you still have any rules?"
Everyone fell silent immediately.
Looking at Xia Mingyu with cloudy eyes, Uncle Liu spoke earnestly: "Mingyu, I know it's difficult for you, but there has to be a solution to this problem, isn't it? It's difficult for everyone, and it's not easy for anyone, so you should also be considerate of everyone.
, will it work?”
Throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and stamping it out, Xia Mingyu looked like a helpless child, "I can understand everyone's difficulties, but the situation is like this. It's really impossible for me to come up with money to pay off the debt now."
"If you say that, you will break the pot. This is not possible. If we don't see the money today, we will not leave." A big and round creditor said.
"That's right, we must see the money today, otherwise we will stay at your house."
"You are so shameless, Lao Xia, you can't do this. Whatever you say today, you have to give us back some of it."
Everyone launched a new round of crusade against Xia Mingyu.
Xia Chen couldn't listen anymore, coughed, and said: "Everyone, please have some moral integrity. Who hasn't had a bad time? We didn't say we wouldn't pay back the money. Why are we all so anxious?"
