Chapter 22: Sitting on the South, Losing
Although the voice was very low, the teacher's wife still heard her: "You are such a white-eyed wolf, you actually want to kill me, it's outrageous!"
Bang!
Just when the master's wife was about to get angry, the door outside was kicked open.
Hula la, a group of figures broke in.
"Brother Qiu is at home?"
This voice is familiar to me, it’s Xiaowei!
It seems that they are planning to take care of my debt. With our relationship, we won’t have so many people come to ask for debt. It’s not like I won’t pay back!
Thinking of this, an inexplicable fire burned in my heart.
When I walked to the yard, I looked at Xiaowei and said coldly: "Xiaowei, that's not the case. He even came to ask for the bill!"
"Brother Qiu, one code is one code. I am also doing business, after all, it has been delayed for too many days." Xiaowei has a good attitude and always has a smile on his face.
It is said that you should not hit someone with a smile, so I can't keep a cold face: "Calculate how much the principal plus interest is in total, I will pay you back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"The principal plus interest as of today is 12531." Xiaowei took out a piece of paper and read the number on the doorstep.
When I heard this number, I was completely stunned! Three thousand yuan turned into twelve thousand in fifteen days!
"Xiaowei, are you kidding me? The interest rate is so high. It has quadrupled." I was at a loss.
"I'm not joking, I can't make a mistake." Xiaowei said decisively.
Later, I did my own calculations and found that the amount of money was correct. No wonder those gamblers would go bankrupt. According to this method of interest compounding, even the richest man in the world would not be able to survive even half a year if he borrowed three thousand!
This is also the first time I have personally experienced the power of compound interest!
Just when I was thinking about how to repay the money, my wife rushed out of the room.
When he came out, he pointed at me and yelled: "Well, you Li Yanqiu, you actually owe so much money outside. Get out of our house quickly, don't affect my family's reputation."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Xiaowei again: "This eldest brother, Li Yanqiu has nothing to do with my family. You can ask for the money, but he can't pay it back. If you want to kill or scrape you, go to him. My family has nothing to do with him."
.”
Saying that, the mistress picked up the broom standing in the corner, greeted me and called me: "Get out of here quickly, don't let others misunderstand us, we have nothing to do with you, I can't possibly pay you back the money."
One point.”
It's too quick to add insult to injury, but it fits my wife's character very well.
The master snatched the broom from the master's hand and glared at the master: "Take out all your money. I know you have saved a lot over the years, and use it all to pay off Yanqiu's debt."
"Are you crazy, Yu Changqin!" The master's wife yelled: "It's impossible to take away a penny from me."
The master's wife swung the door open and locked it. No matter how hard the master pulled and kicked, she couldn't open it.
I grabbed Master and said, "It's okay Master, I can just think of a solution myself."
"How long can you give me at most?" I looked at Xiaowei and asked.
"Brother Qiu, the loan in the market is only for seven days at most. You have already exceeded it. If you don't give it today, it will be difficult for Brother Ye and I to explain it." Xiaowei said in embarrassment.
I hesitated for a moment and looked at Xiaowei solemnly: "Tomorrow, can I pay you back the money tomorrow?"
Xiaowei immediately shook his head and his expression changed: "No, just for today, we also have rules. Please understand, if you can't get it out today, we can only go in and dig it out. Brothers like me are very messy. We will do it by then."
If something breaks, it will be bad."
I thought he would give me face, and I just delayed it for a day. Who would have thought that Xiaowei would fall out of favor faster than turning over a book.
"Xiaowei, how do I usually treat you, can't you give me some face?" I also wanted to try to save something, it probably wasn't time, but the friendship between us.
But in the final analysis, he and the short-haired man are the same kind of people, they are conceited. How can such people care about friendship.
"Li Yanqiu, let alone you, even my father must pay back the money today!"
I know that I can't find a breakthrough here.
Now, the only person I can turn to is Liu Ye, but I don't plan to go to him. I can guarantee that Xiaowei must have known about the fact that Xiaowei came to me for payment. Maybe he was the one who instigated it. He was waiting.
It was me who begged him to drag me into the water.
"Okay, I'll pay you back today!"
I said goodbye to Master, and no matter how much Master persuaded me, I walked out of the door resolutely.
Betting is my only chance!
I didn't choose Liu Ye's chess and card room, where he would definitely send someone to pay attention.
So I found a chess and card room that I had good experience with before and had played there several times.
"Xiaowei, if you want to follow me in, isn't it too obvious? Don't worry, I won't be able to escape. I will give you money today!"
I looked at Xiaowei coldly, and they followed me to the chess and card room.
Xiaowei did not refuse this time. He showed a strange smile and pointed inside: "You go in, we will wait for you outside."
Walking into the chess and card room, the beautiful waiter came over enthusiastically: "Brother, how big do you want to play? What game? I recommend it to you."
I have been here several times, but this is the first time someone has introduced this to me. It is also the first time I have seen this beauty. She must be a new employee and is quite enthusiastic about work.
But it’s okay, their recommendations are always more affordable than what I can find at a table by myself, and there are no service staff to recommend. Some games with big bets don’t want outsiders to just come in and play.
"Niu Niu, Tractor, Pai Gow are all fine. Let's place a bet of about fifty."
"Okay brother."
Under the recommendation of the beautiful waiter, I came to a private room where a game of beef was being played.
"Brother, please." The beautiful waiter brought me a chair. I took out a twenty-dollar note from the money pile and handed it to her as a tip.
The cards on this table range from fifty to one hundred, making it the biggest game in the entire chess and card room.
In the first game, I asked to cut the cards, and I wanted to get a pair of cows and nines quickly.
Because the rule here is that cows and cows do not change bankers, and cows and cows change bankers at nine. Only when I am the banker can I harvest quickly!
While cutting the cards, I secretly took out two cards and hid them in my sleeves, one J and one K.
The dealer dealt the cards, and my cards were 7, 4, 2, 10, 3, and six.
This card is actually quite big, but I still decided to replace 4,3 with j,k.
I bet fifty in this round, and according to the compensation standard, he paid me twice as much, one hundred yuan.
I successfully became a banker.
I'll shuffle the cards and everything will be fine.
There are seven players in total. In order to avoid their suspicion in the first few games, I didn’t make too high a profile. I won and lost every time.
Each person bets a different amount, the one who wins is one hundred or eighty, and the one who loses is less.
But on average, it's almost 81 per person. Although I haven't played any big cards in these games, as time goes by, my principal has accumulated to about 3,000.
But this is only a fraction of the interest. I was dealt two consecutive hands with no bulls, and three with four or less bulls, in order to give them the illusion that I was unlucky: "Hey, why don't I get good cards?"
"The banker is out of luck, let's start the pot." One of the tattooed women shouted.
Chapter completed!
