Chapter 63: Clearing Father’s Wrongs
“Is Zhu Shouyi at home? Some of my men injured you today, I don’t know how serious they were. Brother, I’m here to accompany you.”
At this moment. An arrogant voice came from outside the door. He said he was apologizing, but his tone was extremely threatening. As soon as he finished speaking, a fat man with a sinewy face walked in, followed by seven or eight men in black clothes.
As soon as he saw these people, the fourth uncle jumped up like a rabbit, pointed at the two men behind Fatty Hengrou, and said that they were their second brother who led the beating.
As soon as the uncle saw the person coming in, he quietly slipped into the room.
Hearing that the fourth uncle said that these people had injured Zhu Shouyi, Chen didn't care how much he weighed, so he got up and started to scratch them. As soon as he made a move to get up, he was pulled hard by Zhu's father who was lying on the stretcher. arm. After being husband and wife for so many years, Zhu Shouyi knew Chen very well, so he was able to catch Chen in time.
Zhu Pingchuan and Zhu Ping'an were also grabbed by the arms by the fourth uncle on the side with quick eyes and hands.
"You black-hearted people, why are you beating my man? Just wait, I have to go to the county government to sue you!" Mrs. Chen was grabbed by the arm by Zhu's father, but she still gritted her teeth and rushed. The visitor cursed loudly and raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to fight the visitor to the death.
Chen's fierceness failed to intimidate the visitors. They were from the ancient underworld, how could they be frightened by a woman and child.
"If you have debts and repay money, I will sue you. The same is true for suing Po Tian." Fatty Hengrou sneered, with a strange look on his face. Hengrou's face was trembling. At first glance, he looked like a hob. The virtues of a flesh-and-blood society.
Zhu Ping'an saw the uncle's sneak away just now. In fact, he had seen that the uncle's behavior was a little inappropriate a long time ago. Was the last time Mei Ji given away by a friend for free? He returned Meiji to his friend, and the friend gave him a lot of money? Do you still have money to please your grandmother and aunt? Four dishes and one soup at the ancestral hall?
Zhu Pingan had long felt that something was wrong with this matter.
Zhu Ping'an broke away from his uncle's hands and ran to the Hengrou Fatty group who had just come in. He asked loudly without fear, "You said my father borrowed usury money from you? Is there any evidence?”
“彘儿.”
“小彘.”
The family members cried out in worry.
The fat man Hengrou looked at this little kid who had just reached his thigh height in a funny way. Most kids would be scared to cry when they saw him. He had never seen such a bold kid before. So I had the rare thought of not being rough at all.
"Why, you, a little kid, can't read?" Fatty Hengrou asked with trembling flesh on his face.
"I have been studying for nearly a hundred days, please don't fool me." Zhu Pingan stood there, calmly and calmly extending his hand.
“Don’t take the opportunity to tear it up, otherwise uncle will beat you.”
Fatty Hengrou thought it was ridiculous, but he still turned around and motioned to the boy behind him to show the IOU to the little kid.
A man in black nodded respectfully to the fat man, took out an IOU from his arms, carefully unfolded it and showed it to Zhu Pingan, guarding against the little kid Zhu Pingan who was rogue and tore up the IOU.
Zhu Ping'an just glanced at it and frowned into a sneer. He raised his head and looked at the fat man and said categorically, "This is not my father's IOU!"
This is not me. Father's IOU!
"Shout, you little brat, you dare to play rogue for me! I don't care about adults or children when I beat people! This is an IOU written by your father himself." Hearing Zhu Ping'an's denial, Fatty Hengrou was furious It was hard to talk anymore, he was angry and threatened.
"You said it was my father's handwriting on the IOU, are you sure?" Zhu Ping'an was not afraid of Hengrou Sheng's threats at all and asked without flinching.
"Nonsense, I saw your father writing it with my own eyes." Fatty Hengrou replied affirmatively.
“With your own eyes, sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be true.” Zhu Pingan’s chubby face pulled out a sneer.
“What do you mean?!” Fatty Hengrou’s patience seemed to be running out. This little kid actually dared to laugh at me.
Zhu Ping'an turned around and walked to Father Zhu, gently pulled Chen away from Father Zhu, turned his head with red eyes, and shouted angrily to Fatty Hengrou:
"What do I mean? Come and see my father who wrote the IOU in front of you, but my father who is lying in front of me?"
The fat man Hengrou was calmed down by Zhu Pingan's sudden outburst. What's the paper shouting? It's like I borrowed money from him through an IOU!
Unconsciously, Fatty Hengrou walked up to Zhu Pingan and looked along Zhu Pingan's fingers.
Ouch, let me go, who is this? Why are you bleeding all the time? ! What's wrong with the legs? !
When Fatty Hengrou saw Zhu Shouyi for the first time, he was completely confused. Who is this? I don’t know him. I have never seen him before. What is this little kid doing for me? Do you think he wants to They framed me, saying that I was the one who injured someone and was looking for a beating.
Then, Fatty Hengrou saw Zhu Ping'an's angry eyes and suddenly realized something. Then he turned around and gave a subordinate behind him a big mouth and cursed loudly.
"Nima, did you hurt this man? Damn it, where are the eyes!"
The man who got beaten covered his face and didn't dare to fight back, he was just aggrieved. said, "Brother, this is It's Zhu Shouyi, I'm better at stepping on it."
"Think I'm blind, this is Zhu Shouyi!" The fat man made another big mouth with his backhand, this time he was even more ruthless, and he hit the man directly. The nosebleeds came out.
What's going on?
The people of the Zhu family were a little confused and looked at Zhu Ping'an without knowing why.
The first time he saw the IOU, Zhu Ping'an knew that the IOU did not belong to Zhu's father. It must be someone else. It was very simple. The IOU was purely handwritten, and there was no circle on Zhu's father's name. Just pressed the fingerprint.
Generally speaking, if you don't know how to write, how to borrow money, you have to ask someone to write it, draw a circle on it, and then put their fingerprint on it. If a person who can write borrows money, he does not need to draw a circle, because he can write and just sign his name and press his fingerprint.
But on this IOU from Fatty Hengrou, Zhu Shouyi’s name was not circled, and Zhu’s father couldn’t write, so it was definitely not borrowed from Zhu’s father. Just now the fat man said that he saw it written by "Zhu Shouyi" with his own eyes, so the answer is clear.
The uncle must have borrowed the money in his father's name.
"Zhu Shouyi, come out!" After the fat man taught his younger brother a lesson, he suddenly saw someone peeking furtively in the main room. He recognized at a glance that the person peeping was "Zhu Shouyi" who had borrowed money to write an IOU.
The fat man's shout woke up everyone, and everyone turned their attention to the eldest uncle Zhu Shouren, who was timid and wanted to hide in the room.
"Ahem, you got the wrong person!" The uncle said timidly and lacked confidence.
Obviously he was caught
"Bah, I will recognize the person who lent me money even if he turned into ashes!" Fatty Hengrou spat a mouthful of thick phlegm, then waved his hand, and several The younger brother rushed to the room and dragged the uncle out.
Before anyone could react, Mrs. Chen rushed up, scratched Zhu Shouren's face, cried and cursed, "Are there any brothers like you? My men have worked hard to feed you all the way up and down the mountain." , If you do this, are you worthy of us? "
If her grandmother and aunt hadn't stopped her, Mrs. Chen would have scratched her uncle into potato shreds.
Things are clear at a glance! The grandfather looked at Zhu Shouren in disbelief, and then looked at his second son who was lying on the ground with blood on his leg. The hand holding the stick was shaking.
