Carrying a basket, Zhang Shengli walked towards his fourth uncle's house.
"Does your father often beat you?"
Walking side by side with Zhang Shengli, Tang Rou lost the pressure and started joking.
"No!"
Zhang Shengli didn't know why Tang Rou asked this, but he still said: "Although my dad didn't go to school, he understands a lot of things."
"Then why did he kick you in front of so many people just now?" Tang Rou chased after him like a curious baby and asked.
"I don't know. It was the same thing on the mountain just now. It was inexplicable."
The two of them walked side by side, talking and laughing, and within a few minutes they arrived at the door of the fourth uncle's house.
The two families were not far apart. At this time, the door of the fourth uncle's house was open, and there were quarreling sounds inside.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Shengli subconsciously quickened his pace, and Tang Rou followed closely.
"Yang Hongwen!"
As soon as he walked in, a familiar face appeared in Zhang Shengli's sight.
He knew this man and had known him since childhood. He was from Yangjiagou next door.
He is not tall, has short hair, and is about the same age as Zhang Shengli. However, he stopped studying after graduating from junior high school and has been raising fish at home. He lived a pretty good life as a child.
"Zhang Shengli!" Yang Hongwen also noticed Zhang Shengli at this time and greeted him, but his eyes lit up when he saw Tang Rou following Zhang Shengli.
"This is? Your girlfriend?"
Zhang Shengli ignored Yang Hongwen, but looked at his fourth uncle in the wheelchair and asked: "What's wrong, fourth uncle?"
"Victory is here!" The fourth uncle was sitting in a wheelchair and it was not convenient for him to move around. He said with a smile: "It's nothing. It's just that Hongwen said that Xiaofeng borrowed money from him before and now he comes to ask for money."
"Xiao Feng? When did it happen?" Zhang Shengli turned his head and glanced at Yang Hongwen.
He didn't have much favorable impressions of Yang Hongwen. Although he was often seen in and outside the village, he was just a gangster, stealing and doing anything.
Zhang Feng grew up on his own and grew up wearing a pair of pants. He told himself everything he wanted and never heard of anyone borrowing money from him.
"When he went out to work the year before last, I gave him the fare." Yang Hongwen kept his eyes on Tang Rou, listening to Zhang Shengli's words, and said very nonchalantly.
Chen Shengli was a little disgusted by Yang Hongwen's gaze. He put the basket in his hand on the ground and asked, "How much is it?"
"It's not much, two hundred yuan!" After speaking, Yang Hongwen asked Tang Rou, who had been silent, "Sister, which village are you from?"
Tang Rou ignored it and moved a few steps towards Zhang Shengli.
He took out the remaining money after today's salary payment from his pocket, took out three hundred, handed it directly to Yang Hongwen, and said, "Okay, I'll pay back the money for him."
"Hey, can't you tell? Are you getting rich?"
Yang Hongwen's eyes were instantly attracted by the thick stack of red notes in Zhang Shengli's hand.
"It's none of your business!" Zhang Shengli started to chase them away and said, "I've already taken the money, why are you still hanging around?"
"Why, after you get rich, do you forget about your buddy?" Yang Hongwen didn't leave. He threw away the three hundred yuan in his hand and said, "You're just going to get rid of me like this?"
"What do you mean? I'll lend you two hundred and give you three hundred. Isn't it enough?" Zhang Shengli narrowed his eyes, turned around and stared at Yang Hongwen, "Xiaorou, let your fourth uncle eat first."
"Shengli, don't be impulsive, this is none of your business." The fourth uncle looked at the two people looking at something wrong and quickly advised them.
"I've borrowed it for two years, and I'll give you one hundred more. Do you think I'm a beggar?" Yang Hongwen chuckled.
This time Zhang Shengli finally understood that Yang Hongwen was deliberately looking for trouble.
He reached out and grabbed Yang Hongwen's collar, and lifted him up directly with gentle force.
Zhang Shengli is 1.8 meters tall, and Yang Hongwen is a head shorter than him. Just by mentioning this, his momentum immediately overwhelms the opponent.
"Zhang Shengli, what do you mean? Do you still want to hit someone?" Yang Hongwen was not afraid. He grabbed Zhang Shengli's hand and almost shouted.
"Don't be shameless. I give you the money because I care about you. If I keep talking too much, you won't get any of the three hundred yuan."
After saying that, Zhang Shengli pushed Yang Hongwen several meters away.
Yang Hongwen's face turned blue and he shouted to Zhang Shengli: "It is only natural to pay back debts."
"Really?" Zhang Shengli walked towards Yang Hongwen again.
"How about I call Xiaofeng now to see if he really owes you money?"
Yang Hongwen stepped back step by step and retreated directly to the wall. At this time, there was a wooden stick erected on the wall.
He picked up the wooden stick and was about to hit Zhang Shengli.
However, he did not expect that the stick would not only produce no results, but would be snatched away by Zhang Shengli.
Zhang Shengli moved quickly, raised the stick in his hand and hit him directly on the leg.
He grabbed the three hundred yuan from Yang Hongwen and said, "If you don't want it, get out of here! If you dare to step into Zhangjia Village in the future, I will break your legs."
The stick was not light, and Yang Hongwen was afraid. He opened his mouth several times, but did not dare to say a word and limped away.
As soon as he walked out the door, he shouted to Zhang Shengli: "Zhang Shengli, you're a smart boy, just wait for me."
"Coward!" Zhang Shengli dropped the stick in his hand, with a smile on his face.
"Shengli, you're like this...this kid will cause trouble for you in the future." The fourth uncle couldn't think of eating at this time, he was worried about Zhang Shengli.
"Don't worry, Fourth Uncle. To deal with this kind of person, you have to beat him up. From now on, I'll beat him every time he comes, until he doesn't dare to come."
"He knows a bunch of people in the town, so be careful." The fourth uncle also sighed at this time.
"Don't worry, Fourth Uncle, he won't dare." Having said this, Zhang Shengli thought for a while and advised: "Fourth Uncle, in the future, just listen to anyone who doesn't want you. He said Xiaofeng borrowed his money, but he really did? You
I didn’t even call and ask.”
"I tried, but I couldn't get through!" The fourth uncle looked helpless.
"Then did you offend him?"
"No!" Uncle Fourth thought about it carefully, "Oh, to say there is such a thing, last time this guy took a fancy to my fish pond and wanted me to transfer it to him, but I didn't agree."
"He is committing fraud. I gave it to Xiaofeng when he left the year before last. It's not like you don't know this. I did meet Yang Hongwen, but I didn't lend him any money."
"That's not right. I remember Xiaofeng told me about this when we talked on the phone before. The money was borrowed."
"Xiao Feng told me that when I went to buy something, my sister Caifeng gave him two hundred yuan. It had nothing to do with Yang Hongwen, he was just there."
Seeing that his fourth uncle was silent, Zhang Shengli sighed helplessly and said: "Fourth uncle, I will stay in the village from now on. If you need anything, just call me."
This incident was just a small incident. After appeasing the fourth uncle, the two of them went back.
On the way back, Tang Rou remained silent. When she was almost home, she finally couldn't help it.
"Who is Sister Caifeng?"
"What?"
"You just said, didn't you borrow money from Sister Caifeng?"
"Oh, that's my cousin. She teaches in a primary school in the town now. The year before last, my fourth uncle's son, Zhang Feng, went out to work. He didn't have enough money, so he borrowed two hundred yuan from her for travel expenses."
"That's it!" Tang Rou stuck out her tongue and asked, "Then why did you give him money just now?"
"You mean Yang Hongwen?" Zhang Shengli didn't notice Tang Rou's expression and replied subconsciously: "I just wanted to settle the matter. Who would have thought that this kid is so greedy?"
Tang Rou smiled, looked at Zhang Shengli, and said with a smile: "You look quite handsome when you fight."
