Chapter 265: Usury
It was only then that Li Jiuzhou remembered the harmful loan sharking. He only blamed himself for not thinking of it before, otherwise he would have banned it altogether.
There was no need to continue listening. Seeing that several strong men were about to take action, Li Jiuzhou did not wait for the situation to intensify before he became an uncle. Although it was obvious that he was the biggest uncle in Shuofang now.
He glanced at Li Chongniang.
Li Chongniang understood immediately and took out a wad of money from her arms and handed it to him.
Li Jiuzhou walked a few steps quickly and came to the leading man. He looked at the other big men and asked calmly: "How much does she owe you?"
The big man coughed slightly and said with a sideways glance, "Oh, someone is showing off. Could it be the pretty boy you kept outside?"
The landlady was stunned when she saw Li Jiuzhou repaying the loan shark for her. Then she heard the big man say that he was the pretty boy she kept, and a helpless smile appeared on her red face.
Li Jiuzhou was a little angry. He suppressed his anger, looked at the big man and said, "Speak more clearly."
The big man at the head suddenly glanced at Li Chongniang behind him, then looked at Li Jiuzhou's delicate face, and a bad idea came into his mind.
"Boy, you are so blessed. With such a young lady by your side, you are like a flower stuck in cow dung."
Li Chongniang behind her said with a smile on her face: "He said you are cow dung."
The boss's wife was still immersed in shock and panicked and didn't know what to do.
Li Jiuzhou turned around and glanced at Li Chongniang over there. Seeing that she was deliberately laughing at him, he pouted at her, turned to the big men and said with a smile: "If I were cow dung, these guys would just
I’m afraid it’s the smelly, hard rocks in the latrine.”
The big man at the head said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, we are here to ask for a debt, what does this have to do with you?"
Li Jiuzhou didn't bother to tell them more. He put the money into the big man's hands, turned to the boss's wife and asked, "Is this money enough?"
The landlady who came back to her senses nodded.
The big man glanced at the money in his hand and saw that there was still more than enough to pay off the debt. He couldn't help but grimace and wanted to go out, but then he glanced at the two beauties and this frail young man. He felt guilty and said sternly: "
Although the money is enough, the landlady has promised us brothers that we will pay with our flesh."
After saying this, he stepped forward and took the landlady's hand.

Li Jiuzhou shook his head, as if he didn't believe his eyes, and complained: "You are asking for boredom if you are not satisfied after getting the money."
The landlady glanced at him with a forced smile and said softly: "This gentleman, it's none of your business. You can leave first. I will take care of it here."
Li Jiuzhou said angrily: "These people are obviously here to bully others. If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid they will only become more rampant in the future."
"Boy, what a loud tone!" The leading man shouted angrily. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to teach Li Jiuzhou a lesson, but was stopped by another man behind him.
The man had already recognized Li Jiuzhou and whispered a few words in his ear. The big man at the head was instantly frightened and did not dare to say any more. He said in a trembling voice: "The younger ones have eyes but cannot recognize Mount Tai."
, no offense intended, sir, please have a lot of it.”
Li Jiuzhou saw the change in their attitude and knew that they had recognized him. Since they had given up, he no longer made things difficult for them. Instead, he said gently to the big men: "In the future, please help take care of this shop more."

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm sure, I'm sure."
After saying this, several big men bowed deeply to Li Jiuzhou and left in a hurry, not even daring to fart.
The landlady was a little flustered and wiped her hands on the cloth lapel in front of her twice, and smiled gently at Li Jiuzhou.
Li Jiuzhou sighed and suddenly didn't know what to say. He smiled back and said, "Life is really hard."

The landlady took one look at Li Jiuzhou's expression and knew that he was a distinguished person. She smiled warmly and kindly, and said softly: "As long as you repay their loan sharks, you can still maintain your livelihood..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Jiuzhou stretched out his hand to interrupt, turned to Li Chongniang and said, "Just give her all the money you brought."
It was the first time for Li Chongniang to experience such a satisfying thing. She was very happy. She walked to the proprietress and handed her a stack of money: "I brought so much today. Live a good life in the future and don't gamble anymore."
"
Li Jiuzhou smiled and said: "Gambling has been banned in the whole city. Even if she wants to gamble, there is nowhere to do it."
The landlady glanced at the two of them and was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
"We are here to eat fried noodles. Get us a bowl." Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Li Jiuzhou changed the subject.
The landlady reacted and said with a smile: "It will be done right away, please wait a moment."
Li Chongniang clicked her tongue and said, "You really draw your sword to help me when the road is rough."
Li Jiuzhou responded to her: "You just yell when you see injustice on the road."
"He's just a mouthful."

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Li Jiuzhou quickly comforted her: "If you hadn't brought all this money with you today, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have been easy to handle, so it wasn't me who helped her, but you who helped her."
After hearing the good words, Li Chongniang laughed.
This kind of helping others is indeed very fulfilling.
"Eat it while it's hot." The landlady brought two steaming bowls of fried noodles and was busy pouring tea and getting some snacks. Li Jiuzhou stopped her and said with a smile: "Don't bother, I love it."
I eat fried noodles and don’t like those snacks.”
The landlady smiled gently and said, "I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I don't know how to thank you. I'm really embarrassed."
"Stop it!" Li Jiuzhou is not a hypocritical person, nor does he like to listen to other people's mothers-in-law and mothers telling him a lot of polite words.
What a weirdo. The landlady shook her head, said nothing, and went into the kitchen to get some pickles for him.
"This oily noodles is so delicious. I will come to eat it next time." Li Chongniang is a foodie. It was her first time to eat oily noodles. She just thought the taste was unique. She couldn't help but admire it and picked up another chopstick plate.
While eating the pickles, he said: "These pickles are delicious, but I don't know how they are pickled."
Li Jiuzhou smiled. The way Li Chongniang wolfed down her food was very different from her delicate appearance.
"I'll pickle some for you later so you can eat enough."

Li Chongniang was overjoyed when she heard this, but she still didn't believe it. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You can also pickle pickles?"
Li Jiuzhou put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "When we finish eating, the boss lady and I will ask for the secret recipe, and I will know it naturally."
