Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 890 A vague premonition
At this time, Li Xiu Yu was still in shock, because she would look back from time to time, obviously afraid that the people behind her would catch up with her.

Hearing Wang An's question, Li Xiu Yu suddenly sobbed, and then told Wang An the story in a halting manner.

It turned out that after Li Xiuyu's father borrowed high-interest loans in Xing'an Township, he gradually repaid a lot of money to those people. In fact, the principal had been repaid long ago, and even the interest had far exceeded the principal.

But the interest rate of loan sharking is not only very high, but also calculated on a daily basis.

In fact, this kind of usury is also called "donkey-rolling interest" among the people, because the interest generated by the previous day will be counted as principal and the interest will be recalculated the next day.

This means that if people who owe money cannot pay it all off at once, the amount they owe will double every day.

Therefore, the speed at which Li Xiuyu's father repays the money is far slower than the speed at which the interest is compounded.

Before, Li Xiu Yu's father wanted to marry Li Xiu Yu off, in other words, he wanted to sell Li Xiu Yu off. However, he kept raising the price, and later, because the price was too high, no one took the offer.

Later, a loan shark took a fancy to Li Xiu Yu and said that he could use Li Xiu Yu to pay off his debts, but Li Xiu Yu disagreed. As the interest compounded, the Li family owed more and more money.

As the saying goes, when one dies, all debts are forgiven.

So Li Xiuyu's father thought about doing the same thing, at least after his death, he would not be a burden to his family.

After that, Li Xiuyu's father was so depressed that he committed suicide two days ago.

But if people are dead, then the matter will definitely become a big deal.

However, after the hat brothers from the village arrived, they confirmed that Li Xiuyu's father committed suicide rather than being murdered, and the matter was no longer within their jurisdiction.

The main thing is "kill someone and pay with your life, debts must be repaid", that is a matter of course, and the brothers in hats had no other choice, so they just went through the motions and went back.

To be honest, Li Xiuyu's father is such a bastard that he even dared to borrow money from loan sharks to gamble!
What a pity! He died but left the trouble to his family.

Because the saying "debts are paid off when a person dies" does not apply to loan sharks. What they believe in is "a son pays off his father's debts."

That is to say, after Li Xiu Yu's father died, those loan sharks still did not let Li Xiu Yu and his family go.

In short, it comes down to two words: "money".

Li Xiuyu's mother fell ill due to grief and anxiety, and Li Xiuyu's three brothers were also beaten by loan sharks and lay on the kang.

Li Xiu Yu herself was caught by the loan sharks.

Fortunately, the Li family was considered a wealthy family in Sujiatun. When the Li clan members and villagers were fighting with the loan sharks, Li Xiuyu escaped.

I have to say that at times like this, what family and fellow villagers mean is reflected.

If there is something wrong, it’s really serious!

It's just that if you owe money, you have to pay it back no matter what. It's nonsense to rely solely on the protection of your clan members, because we are all just ordinary people.

The main thing is that ordinary people are fighting against a bunch of loan sharks, how can they afford it?
Being able to take the initiative to help fight two battles is a big deal, but it can't solve any other problems at all.

After listening to Li Xiu Yu's story, Wang An's brows furrowed deeply.

I never expected that things would have come to this point.

What Wang An found most incredible was that this incident happened to him without any clue.

To be honest, Wang An didn't want to get involved.

The main thing is that this matter has nothing to do with him. The key is that Li Xiuyu doesn't seem to like Wang Li. If Li Xiuyu can get together with Wang Li, then Wang An must take care of it.

But even though he thought so, Wang An had a vague premonition in his heart that the miraculous encounter between Li Xiu Yu and him this time was actually a kind of destiny.

If Wang An doesn't intervene this time, the matter will definitely snowball and become more and more complicated, and sooner or later it will be related to Wang An again, eventually forcing Wang An to intervene.

Although it was just a premonition, Wang An felt that it was extremely real, as if someone was speaking it in his ear.

Thinking of this, Wang An sucked his teeth hard, then turned his head and looked at Li Xiu Yu with a worried look on his face.

The ancients were right, beautiful women are the root of trouble!

Suppressing the urge to kick Li Xiuyu out of the car, Wang An asked:

"Then why are you going to the county town?"

Li Xiuyu said with tears in her eyes and a confused look on her face:

"I was thinking of hiding at my classmate's house first, but it's over, it's over, I don't know where to go, wuwuwuwu."

As she spoke, Li Xiu Yu started crying again, and she looked very sad.

I have to say that although Li Xiuyu's father is not a good-for-nothing, these loan sharks are worse than animals.

This fucking thing just tore a family apart, and the whole family was destroyed.

No wonder China will crack down on usury more strictly in the future. The main reason is that usury simply does not give people a way to survive!

Seeing Li Xiu Yu crying, Wang An looked at Li Xiu Yu several times. Although he was a little annoyed, he could do nothing about it.

In order to prevent the villagers from seeing Li Xiuyu crying in his car and causing misunderstanding, Wang An drove the sidecar into a flat area with trees, planning to wait until Li Xiuyu's emotions stabilized before going back.

After stopping the car and turning off the engine, Wang An took out a cigarette.

Perhaps because she knew Wang An, Li Xiu Yu didn't care when she noticed all this and continued crying.

Of course, Wang An didn't care about her. He just lit a cigarette and smoked it by himself. He didn't even ask Li Xiu Yu if she wanted to smoke.

After Wang An finished smoking his cigarette, Li Xiuyu calmed down a lot, so Wang An took the initiative to ask Li Xiuyu:

"Do you have any feelings for my brother Wang Li?"

Wang An still felt that Li Xiu Yu was a good match for Lao Wu.

Wang An's abrupt question made Li Xiuyu stunned for a moment. It seemed that she didn't understand what he meant. She asked Wang An with tears on her face:
"Brother, what did you say?"

Wang An glanced at Li Xiuyu and said:

"My brother Wang Li is your classmate. He wants to date you. Didn't he ask your sister Li Xiuhong to ask you for your opinion some time ago? Didn't you disagree?"

Li Xiuyu said with a bitter face:
"My family is already in this state, so why would I want to find a husband?"

Wang An's eyes suddenly lit up and he said:

"How about this, I'll help you pay off your family's debts, and I'll help you get rid of those loan sharks. In exchange, you marry Wang Li. What do you say?"
