Chapter 526: More Pitiable and Hateful
Chapter 526: More Pitiable and Hateful
Xin Rui's store was in a mess. The wooden door was kicked open and fell to the ground. The house was turned upside down and all kinds of goods were scattered all over the place.
A slovenly middle-aged man held his head with both hands, his body huddled up, and he groaned in pain from time to time.
This called in three or four people who were obviously young men from society to surround him and started fighting.
This middle-aged man is Xin Rui's alcoholic gambler father.
"If you don't pay me back before the New Year, you won't be beaten up as easily as you are today,"
At this time, a bald man wearing a mink coat, with a fierce face and a big waist,
He wore a large gold chain around his neck, which was not sure whether it was real or fake, and had it wrapped around his neck for several times. He had a briefcase tucked under his left armpit. He separated his younger brothers and squatted in front of the middle-aged man who was being beaten.
He blew a puff of smoke at him, choking him and causing him to cough. The part of his body that had been hit was injured, and his features twisted in pain. He dared not make a sound, fearing that the bald man and his men would be upset and kick him again.
The right hand holding the cigarette patted the pitiful man lying on the ground, with a sneer on his face and a threatening tone.
"Long...Brother Long, I...I will pay it back, I will definitely pay it back. My shop is here, my wife and children are here, I can't run away...hiss..."
Father Xin struggled to force a smile and looked at the bald man in a flattering way. His bruised face looked particularly funny, pitiful and even more hateful.
"Your little shop can't pay for the 100,000 you owe. Don't say that Brother Long doesn't care about you. I'll give you three more days to raise the money.
Guys, take a look at the store and load up the valuables. We have to get something out of this trip.
Three days later, the principal and interest were 101,000 yuan, not a penny less.
By the way, I heard that you have a daughter who is studying in Zhenhua. She is pretty. We will come again next time. If you cannot pay back the money, you can use your daughter to pay the interest.
Don't worry, I'll introduce her to a job that makes quick money, maybe after she works for a while, she can even help you pay back the principal, haha..."
Brother Jianghu Long held a cigarette in his mouth, laughed and waved his hand to signal his brothers to move things.
Father Xin was lying on the ground with a smile on his face. Mother Xin was hiding behind the counter with a pale face. She shrank back and was too frightened to say a word. She lowered her head and didn't care that all the cigarettes and alcohol in the house had been looted.
Xin Rui leaned against her bedroom door. Although the door was locked, she still didn't feel safe.
He struggled to stay standing, his slightly trembling hands showing his fear and nervousness.
She held the phone tightly in her right hand, and the screen stopped at the contact Gu Yu, which gave her some spiritual comfort.
When the situation becomes critical, she will call Gu Yu.
Fortunately, this time Brother Long and his younger brother came to the house just to warn, and did not enter the inner room.
Apart from beating up Xin's father who owed him money, Xin's mother and Xin Rui were not touched.
Brother Long saw that his younger brother was very skilled and there was nothing worth looking at left in the messy store.
He picked up a bag of betel nuts, threw the cigarette butts aside, opened them and threw them into his mouth.
"Did you hear what I said before?" Brother Long kicked Father Xin again and asked impatiently,
"Ah... I heard it clearly, don't worry! I will definitely pay it back! I will definitely pay it back! Don't hit me, don't hit me..."
Father Xin screamed, and quickly answered, clasping his hands together and begging for mercy.
"Bah! You rotten gambler!"
Brother Long spat the betel nut on Father Xin's face, sneered with disdain, and walked out of the door in a swagger.
Suddenly I realized something and turned to look at Xin Rui's room.
Xin Rui had been paying attention to the movements outside. When she heard that Brother Long was leaving, she gradually relaxed a lot.
I looked outside through the window and happened to meet Long Ge's eyes.
The unscrupulous look, as if being looked at as a commodity, coupled with the other party's ferocious face,
Xin Rui was so frightened that he subconsciously rushed to the window, pulled the curtains, and hid behind the wall with his back turned.
"Hey~"
Brother Long saw Xin Rui, who was wearing a long white down jacket, tall, and had a pure and lovely appearance, and his eyes lit up.
He whistled at the room with the curtains drawn, laughed and got into the van.
Hearing the sound of the van starting to drive away, Xin Rui's tense nerves finally relaxed and he slid down to the ground.
I thought my family was already living a miserable and poor life, but I didn't expect that my alcoholic father would gamble more and more recently.
I was dragged to the casino and owed a loan shark 50,000 yuan. Now the money has doubled. The gangsters came to my door.
Xin Rui felt powerless. During this period, her life gradually got back on track.
She felt more and more clearly the hope of leaving her original family and welcoming a new life of her own.
As a result, before the gate of heaven was opened, a group of demons from hell blocked the door and wanted to drag her into a deeper abyss.
Thinking of this, Xin Rui burst into tears, buried her head in her knees, and cried helplessly.
The delicate white hand was still holding the phone, and the lit screen showed Gu Yu's phone number.
Outside the bedroom, when Father Xin saw Brother Long and his gang leaving, he shouted at Mother Xin to help him up and cursed loudly.
Xin Rui was scolded by Xin's mother, venting her inner fear and anger at being beaten just now.
"Damn it! Can't you help me up? It hurts so much. Damn it! Go call a doctor. It's no use!
Why did I marry a spendthrift woman like you and give birth to a money-losing child who only knows how to watch me get beaten?
Why don’t you just come out and clean up the mess and help me heal my wounds? I’m feeding you for free!
You idiot, I gave you the store, where did the money go? If they come to force me again, I will sell you to pay off the debt!
Hiss… it hurts, damn, these bastards are so cruel, "
Father Xin, who had been timid before, now became full of energy, spouting dirty words, showing his status as the head of the family.
Mother Xin was so scared after being scolded that she helped Father Xin sit on the chair and then hurried to the clinic in front of the alley.
She was used to being scolded and beaten, and she was used to living like this.
Outside the store, after Brother Long left, the neighbors who had been hiding in their homes to watch the show came out, gathered in groups of three or five, looked toward Xin Rui's house, and made up all sorts of things.
An old lady brought a bench from somewhere, took out some peanuts and sunflower seeds, and excitedly began to recreate the scene for her companions.
Some people were kind-hearted and wanted to go and see what was going on, and help the Xin family clean up.
"Fuck, what a shitty neighbor! He didn't even come out to help me when I was beaten!"
Several bags of peanut snacks were thrown out from Xin Rui's house, accompanied by the curses of Xin's father.
The neighbor who wanted to help didn't want to get involved anymore and could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.
The mother and daughter have run into this thing, their lives are over, but it's a pity for the little girl of the Xin family, I heard that her grades are pretty good and she works very hard,
After a while, the uniform came to Xin Rui's house slowly.
They received the report and came to understand the situation. Xin's father was afraid of being retaliated against and beaten even more severely. Besides, gambling was also illegal.
They didn't tell the truth, and didn't file a case. Soon, the police asked Xin's father to sign to indicate that they were on the scene, and then left.
In the old alley at night, there are rows of old red brick houses.
Under the lights of thousands of houses, sometimes an ordinary life is a luxury, sad, lamentable, pitiful and hateful.
