Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1192 Zhao Shuya's Rejection

Chen Huai felt a little guilty after being suddenly scolded by Liu Guangqi.

He took two steps back, a look of embarrassment on his face, and stammered, "Guangqi, this...how could I have thought it would be like this? I just wanted to have fun with everyone, but who knew you would be so unlucky? I didn't want this to happen."

Liu Guangqi got even angrier when he heard this.

His face flushed red, the veins on his neck popped out, and he continued to yell, "You're still quibbling! You knew this was gambling, but you dragged me into it. You're just doing it for fun, you have bad intentions!

I usually treat you as a brother, but you pushed me into the fire pit. Now I have been hurt by you. What do you think I should do? "

When the gangsters around saw this, they stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

Some were laughing secretly, while others were crossing their arms, watching the farce with interest, waiting to see how Chen Huai would respond.

Chen Huai was a little angry at this moment. He stiffened his neck and said, "Liu Guangqi, please don't push all the responsibility onto me.

I pulled you here, but I didn't force you to play. It was you who wanted to play because you wanted to.

Why are you blaming me now? Do you still have any sense of responsibility?"

Liu Guangqi was choked by Chen Huai's words and was immediately speechless.

But he couldn't let go of the resentment in his heart. He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said, "Anyway, it's because of you that I came here and owe so much money. Don't think you can get away with it, humph!"

After saying this, he sat down on the stone next to him angrily, holding his head with his hands.

At this moment, Zheng Damao felt that the time had come and it was time for him to step in and solve the problem.

He walked slowly to Liu Guangqi, deliberately cleared his throat, raised his voice and said, "Liu Guangqi, let's not talk about anything else. You borrowed this money from me. The receipt has been signed and the fingerprints have been pressed.

Now that you have lost everything, you should pay back the money, 70 yuan, not a cent less."

When Liu Guangqi heard this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, as if he had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale.

He stood up again and said excitedly: "Zheng Damao, you still have the nerve to ask me for money?

I was deceived by you today. You had bad intentions from the beginning and deliberately set up a trap for me.

I accused you of cheating, why should I give you this money? "

Zheng Damao originally had a half-smile on his face.

His expression suddenly changed, his brows knitted, his eyes were fierce, and he shouted angrily: "Liu Guangqi, don't spit blood! What do you mean we set up a trap to cheat you? You wanted to play cards yourself.

You lost all the money yourself, and you asked me to lend you money.

Now you want to default on your debt, right?

Humph, I have the written document here, you can't cheat me.

If you don't pay back the money today, don't blame me for being rude!"

Liu Guangqi was frightened by Zheng Damao's aggressive look and took a step back.

But he still stiffened his neck and refused to show weakness, saying: "I don't care, there is something wrong with you guys anyway, this card game must be abnormal, otherwise how could I lose so much, you guys are colluding to plot against me, I will not admit this."

Zheng Damao sneered and said, "Oh, Liu Guangqi, you are really good at turning the tables.

You say we cheated, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, then stop making trouble here.

I tell you, you must pay back the money today, otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you regret what you did today."

The hooligans around also started to make a fuss, shouting one by one: "That's right, it's only natural to pay back debts. You can't refuse to pay!"

"Liu Guangqi, you'd better pay the money back quickly, or you'll be in trouble."

Liu Guangqi looked at the aggressive crowd around him, and the anger in his heart was ignited.

His eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted, "I will never give you this money no matter what!

You guys teamed up to cheat me, and you still want me to surrender obediently, no way!"

When Zheng Damao heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He snorted coldly, winked at the hooligans nearby, and said viciously: "Teach this ignorant guy a lesson and let him know the consequences of playing tricks!"

After receiving the order, the gangsters rubbed their hands, shouted "Go!", and rushed towards Liu Guangqi.

Although Liu Guangqi was a little nervous, he was not a pushover.

After all, he worked in a steel rolling mill on weekdays, so he was relatively strong. He also learned some self-defense skills from the old masters in the factory.

A gangster raised his fist and punched Liu Guangqi in the face.

Liu Guangqi quickly dodged the attack by moving sideways, then grabbed the gangster's wrist and twisted it hard.

The gangster cried out in pain.

Then, Liu Guangqi kicked another gangster in the stomach. The gangster was kicked back and fell to the ground.

However, there were so many gangsters that Liu Guangqi gradually couldn't handle it anymore.

At this moment, Zheng Damao became impatient when he saw that the thugs had been attacking without success. He took off his coat, stretched his muscles, and joined the battle himself.

Zheng Damao was agile and extremely fast. He rushed forward and threw a fierce straight punch at Liu Guangqi.

Liu Guangqi hurriedly raised his hand to block, but his arm was still numbed by the powerful force.

Zheng Damao then launched another sweeping kick, and Liu Guangqi was unable to dodge and was kicked in the calf. He staggered and almost fell.

Liu Guangqi endured the pain and tried to fight back. He clenched his fist and hit Zheng Damao in the chest, but Zheng Damao easily dodged sideways, then grabbed Liu Guangqi's arm with his backhand and pulled hard. Liu Guangqi lost his balance and fell forward.

Zheng Damao took the opportunity to hit Liu Guangqi with his knee, and Liu Guangqi groaned and fell to the ground.

Zheng Damao put one foot on Liu Guangqi's chest and said with cold eyes: "Liu Guangqi, I think you should just hand over the money obediently. Stop struggling. You can't beat me."

Liu Guangqi lay on the ground, breathing heavily, his face full of stubbornness, gritting his teeth and saying: "I just don't have any money, it's useless even if you beat me to death!"

Zheng Damao increased the strength of his footsteps and sneered, "Hmph, no money? Then I won't be polite. If you don't solve this matter today, I will make it impossible for you to survive in this place.

Not only that, I will also cause trouble for your family, so think about it carefully."

Liu Guangqi was lying on the ground, being stepped on by Zheng Damao, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.

He knew very well that what Zheng Damao said was true. This kind of person was used to being domineering in this area. If he really did something bad, he and his wife would probably have no peace.

After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Okay, Brother Damao, I will give you the money, but I really don't have any money now. You have to give me some time to get it together. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely give you the money."

Zheng Damao narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Liu Guangqi for a while, as if judging the truthfulness of his words.

Or maybe he already knew that Liu Guangqi couldn't get that much money, and he was just giving him a little hope.

After a moment, he slowly raised his foot and said, "Liu Guangqi, I will trust you for once. Since you are sensible, I will give you one day.

But don't try to play any tricks. You know the consequences if you can't pay tomorrow."

Liu Guangqi got up from the ground and rubbed his chest that was hurt by being stepped on. There was a hint of hatred in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show it too much. He just whispered: "Don't worry, Brother Damao, I know what to do. I will definitely send the money to you tomorrow."

Zheng Damao sneered: "Hmph, that's better. Go away, don't make me wait too long." Liu Guangqi turned around and slowly walked out of the woods with tired and heavy steps.

Along the way, his mood seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Liu Guangqi pushed open the door dejectedly and saw his wife Zhao Shuya sitting in the living room with a face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Before he could even open his mouth to speak, Zhao Shuya suddenly stood up, pointed at his nose and began to curse: "Liu Guangqi, look at what time it is now?

You hang around outside all day, not knowing what you are doing, and you only earn a pitiful salary in a month.

It's not even half of what I make as a translator at the Orchid Automobile Factory, and you still have the nerve not to do housework?

Do I have to do all the work in this house by myself?"

Liu Guangqi was already extremely depressed. He had just experienced such a thrilling and terrible thing outside. He was forced by Zheng Damao to owe a huge sum of money. He was full of anxiety and despair.

At this moment, being scolded by his wife like this, the grievance and anger in his heart suddenly surged up.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but he felt he had no idea where to start.

After all, I did hang out outside for a whole day, and my salary was indeed not high.

He sighed helplessly and whispered, "Shuya, don't be angry. I was delayed by something at the factory today. I will do more housework in the future."

Zhao Shuya was not willing to give in. She put her hands on her hips and continued, "Something's up? What could be up with you?

I think you are just lazing around outside. Look at Mr. Wang next door, he has a high salary.

When you get home you still remember to help your wife with the housework. Look at yourself, why are you so useless?

I was really blind to marry you."

Liu Guangqi's face flushed red, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his voice became louder: "Enough! Zhao Shuya, please stop talking, I'm already upset enough."

Zhao Shuya was startled by his sudden increase in volume.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said even more angrily: “Hey, you dare to lose your temper with me?

Who do you think you are? What right do you have to lose your temper with me? "

Liu Guangqi was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Zhao Shuya's words

He knew his wife's temper well and knew that continuing the stalemate would only make the situation worse.

Helplessly, he could only suppress the annoyance and anger in his heart, turned around and walked towards the kitchen silently.

In the kitchen, Liu Guangqi was busy absent-mindedly, constantly thinking about how to ask his wife for money.

He prepared the meal in a hurry and brought the steaming hot meal to the table.

Zhao Shuya didn't even look at him. She walked straight to the table, sat down, and started eating.

Liu Guangqi carefully observed her expression, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say softly: "Shuya, I...I want to discuss something with you."

Zhao Shuya chewed her food and said without raising her head, "If you have anything to say, just say it now. Don't waste time."

Liu Guangqi swallowed and stammered, "I...I want to borrow seventy yuan from you. I need it urgently."

When Zhao Shuya heard this, she immediately stopped eating with her chopsticks, raised her head, and looked at Liu Guangqi in surprise: "What did you say? Borrow 70 yuan? What do you need so much money for?"

Liu Guangqi's eyes were dodging, not daring to look her in the eye, and hesitantly said, "It's just... a colleague in the factory had an emergency at home, and I wanted to help him out. He will pay me back after a while."

Zhao Shuya frowned and said doubtfully, "Really? Where did you get such a kind colleague to lend you so much money at once?"

Liu Guangqi nodded quickly and said, "Really, Shuya, just trust me this time. I will definitely not lie to you."

After hearing his request, Zhao Shuya raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

She looked Liu Guangqi up and down, her eyes full of disdain and contempt, and said coldly: "You? You still want to borrow money to help your colleagues? I think you have done something shameful.

Don't I know how little you have achieved? You can't make much money, but you still act generous everywhere.

I work so hard at the Orchid Automobile Factory, and every penny I earn is hard-earned. Why should I lend it to you to squander?"

Liu Guangqi's face flushed instantly. He was ashamed and anxious, and hurriedly explained: "Shuya, it's not what you think. I really want to help people this time. Just think of it as having pity on my colleague. His family is almost dying of worry."

Zhao Shuya snorted coldly and interrupted him: "Humph, don't tell me nonsense here, I won't believe your nonsense.

Look at yourself. You do nothing all day long and just hang around in the factory. Now you come to me to borrow money. Don’t you feel ashamed? I feel ashamed for you.

I'm telling you, I won't lend you a cent of this money, so just give up on this idea."

Liu Guangqi's eyes flashed with despair. He knew that once Zhao Shuya made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. But he really had no other choice but to continue begging, "Shuya, I beg you, this is really a special situation. If you don't lend me money, I can't live in the factory anymore.

I will work hard and do more housework in the future, please help me this time."

Zhao Shuya was not moved at all. She stood up, turned around and prepared to leave the table. As she walked away, she said, "Don't talk to me anymore. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. I think you should recognize your own identity as soon as possible and stop dreaming about unrealistic things all day long."

When Liu Guangqi heard this, his whole body trembled.

He thought he had been good enough to Zhao Shuya.

Although his salary was low, he never hesitated to help Zhao Shuya with whatever she needed.

Now that he was in trouble, Zhao Shuya was not willing to help him at all.
