Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 20: The Severing All Ties
Su Lingyun was completely immersed in the cozy atmosphere that Tang Xiu created, so she did not expect someone to visit them at this time and in such an unusual manner.
After clearly seeing the faces of the three men, Su Lingyun's heart skipped a beat, and his immersion shattered.
Because he was in a trance, Su Lingyun did not even notice it when the short-looking man kicked the table.
Su Lingyun did not react until the man smirked and was about to slap his face. When he finally caught up, he shouted and wanted to escape.
However, Su Lingyun was still sitting down. If he wanted to escape the humming male slap, he would have to stand up before he started running. And since the man would not wait to let her escape, Su Lingyun could not avoid the slap.
Watching the approaching palm on his face, Su Lingyun desperately closed her eyes.
At the next moment, Su Lingyun heard the sound of someone groaning. Su Lingyun thought he recognized the voice because it came from an inexperienced man.
Su Lingyun was stunned as he opened his eyes. He discovered that the ferocious-looking man with pointy hair, who was so ferocious earlier, was already crouching on the ground. The chicken bone was stuck on his forehead, blood flowing out from the wound along the bone before dripping onto the ground.
“You dare to attack him!?”
“Are you an idiot!?”
“You want to die!?”
The other two men in suits looked at their comrades on the ground and then looked at Tang Xiu who was sitting on a chair, motionless. After a long time, they finally realized that their comrade was injured by Tang Xiu with chicken bones. Seeming angry, the two shouted and rushed towards the young man.
“No, please don't hurt my son! He didn't mean to hurt your friend, we were willing to compensate! “Su Lingyun shouted hysterically as she rushed towards Tang Xiu. He also understood what was happening and tried to relieve the pain.
Seeing her mother's terrified expression, Tang Xiu's cold expression lightened up. He held out his hand and hugged his mother. At the same time, he raised his leg and prepared to attack. Two pieces of crushed porcelain from bowls flew off the ground and were thrown into the foreheads of the two men.
The two pitiful men had just raised their thighs, and had not even moved a step, but they had received the same result as their comrades. Then he fell to the floor, howling in pain.
“They ... they .. Xiuer, what happened?” Su Lingyun thought that they must have been brutally insulted. Realizing that everything had happened so suddenly, he was completely shocked.
“Bu, it's okay, don't worry, let me handle this,” Tang Xiu clamped his mother's palm and comforted her gently.
This time, Tang Xiu did not make his mother faint.
Tang Xiu was unwilling to let her mother live in fear, so she wanted to show off her strength and abilities, letting her know that she had the ability to protect her family.
To calm her mother's emotions, Tang Xiu went to three suitable men and coldly asked, “If I'm right, my mother has already paid you off including flowers, why should you harass us?”
Tang Xiu was familiar with the three men in front of him.
Her mother was short of money when she opened the restaurant, and even after borrowing money from relatives, she was still short of 50,000 yuan. Therefore, he had to get money from a small loan company.
They thought that if it was just a 50,000 yuan loan, they could pay off the debt if they worked hard.
However, they did not think this small loan company was a loan shark. They changed the loan contract. The original interest was 3.3%, but over time, the final loan increased to 7.33%.
The plan was to pay back by dividing the 50,000 yuan loan into six months, but due to interest changes, the actual price paid each month was 12,000 yuan. (ED: I don't think people who write stories do math or know how loans work .. if they have to pay at 7.33% interest, they will pay back 51k instead of 72k … it makes me angry)
Tang Xiu and his mother could only painstakingly and helplessly bear the debt. They tried to put up a fierce fight, but ended in failure.
They did not think that high-interest loan sharks were just the beginning of their nightmare. In the future, they almost always live in nightmares.
In the first month, the restaurant was operating at a loss, Tang Xiu and his mother were unable to repay the loan. As a result, small loan companies ignore their applications and ransack their homes. The loan shark company also threatened them to pay the principal and interest, otherwise they would start attacking the restaurant.
There was no way to plead their case, their only option was to borrow money from relatives and friends. In three days, they ended up raising enough money to pay off the debt.
The loan sharks seem to think that they are easy to bully. So in the next few months, the loan shark encouraged them to earn more money each month, and annoyed Tang Xiu and his mother for pleasure.
Su Lingyun's restaurant was located on Old RiverRiver Street Old Street. Their neighbors also have similar businesses. This was made for harsh competition and prevented Su Lingyun from earning a lot each month.
After half a year, Su Lingyun was finally able to return his entire debt to the loan shark. However, after paying all the money, Tang Xiu and his mother had no savings anymore. There was no money left to pay Tang's tuition. Su Lingyun also lost weight because of this.
That was why when Su Lingyun saw the three suitable men, she looked pale, which was also the reason why Tang Xiu was this merciless.
“Tang Xiu, you jerk, you dare to attack us? We are members of the Tianlang Society. Do you think we can't kill you and your mother whenever we want? “The man buzzed cursing and clenching his jaw as he pulled the chicken bone from his head.
“We have been in contact for half a year, You should know there is some problem with my brain. Are you saying that killing the three of you would be illegal? “Tang Xiu grinned as he grabbed the chair and started hitting the man with the piece.
There was a sharp “crack” when the broken man's shoulder bone was broken. He was too sick to talk.
“I'll ask you again, we've paid off the debt, why are you still harassing us?” Tang Xiu, this time, directed the question to the other two people.
“Err ... Tang Xiu, You did pay your debt, but someone signed a debt transfer contract with us last month, so you have to make a new loan relationship with our business.” Under Tang Xiu's sharp gaze, another man told her about to call Tang Xiu a bastard but quickly stopped.
“Xiuer, it's your younger uncle. We borrowed 50,000 yuan from your uncle. Perhaps what happened last month angered him out of embarrassment, so maybe he went to Eternal Growth Trading Co. and made a transfer to them. ”Su Lingyun added when she noticed that a suitable man was unable to fully explain the situation.
After hearing what Su Lingyun said, Tang Xiu fell silent.
Reminded by the words spoken by Ban Shou and Ding Zi in the restaurant, his anger ignited.
Tang Xiu did not understand why his younger uncle would act heartlessly because they were family.
“Bu, why did you just tell me after all this happened?” Tang Xiu complained after a moment of silence.
Su Lingyun simply touched Tang Xiu's forehead patiently but did not speak. However, Tang Xiu got an answer from his mother's eyes.
His mother did not tell him about the abuse at the restaurant and at home. The reason was that he did not want it to affect his performance in school. Another reason was that it would only make Tang Xiu more worried.
For a moment, Tang Xiu hated himself a little for not showing his strength before. That way, perhaps his mother would discuss the difficulties he faced, rather than endure them in silence.
“This card has 50,000 yuan. Take it and get out. If you dare to continue harassing my mother, I will make sure your business will have no future in Star City! “Shouted Tang Xiu.
While he was thinking about how to solve the problem with Eternal Growth Trading Co., a muffled voice came from outside the house. A short while later, Yuan Chuling's plump body entered the house.
“Fatty, why are you here?” Tang Xiu asked in surprise.
Although he had known Yuan Chuling for a long time, Tang Xiu had not thought of letting Yuan Chuling visit his home because of his low self-esteem. So he did not expect that Yuan Chuling would come here of his own accord.
“My brother, you didn't even tell me about the problem you had with your own family. Looks like you don't see Me as your big brother, “Yuan Chuling smirked, punching Xiu's chest lightly.
“Bu, let me introduce him to you, this is my classmate, Yuan Chuling. He was my only friend at school. When I switched from Grade 5 to Grade 10, she also followed Me and moved to Grade 10. “Tang Xiu explained with a smile as he looked at his mother's eyes full of questions.
“Oh, that's Tang Xiu's classmate. Welcome to our family. ”After listening to the introduction, Su Ling Yun's face showed a warm smile, but when he saw the bodies of the three suitable men lying on the floor, his complexion turned grim as the smile on his face faded slightly.
“You still haven't left? Are you waiting for me to send you back? “Yuan Chuling snapped at the three suitable men when she saw the reaction in Su Lingyun's eyes.
“Young Master Yuan, I'm sorry, I didn't know Mr. Tang was your friend. If we knew Mr. Tang was your friend, we wouldn't have harassed him. ”
“Young Yuan master, here's your card, please take it back. We accidentally broke Boss Su and Young Master Tang's dinner. In this way, the debt of 50,000 yuan will be repaid. We also hope that Young Master Yuan gives good words for us to Boss Yuan, so that we can keep working in the company. ”
The two matching men who were left with fear said. They then fled the scene as quickly as possible, bringing the unconscious man with them.
Su Lingyun and Tang Xiu originally thought that Yuan Chuling's hot temper would trigger contradictions and cause more problems, and had planned to stop his impulses. They would never think that after he spoke, the things that happened next would stupefy them.
Tang Xiu and his mother could only stand there for a long time.
