Chapter 16 Is there any interest?
Chapter 16 Is there any interest?
Liu Chunhua's mind has been dazzled by her long-standing jealousy, and she only heard her forcefully ask in front of everyone: "There is still interest!"
As soon as these words came out, the air instantly became quiet.
Thanks to Liu Chunhua's rants, everyone present knew that the 300 yuan was lent to Wang Pingping by Tong Weimin in late autumn, and it was less than two months since the current full payment.
Liu Chunhua also repeatedly emphasized how kind-hearted her family was, and never mentioned interest when borrowing money.
As a result, now that the money has been paid back, they asked someone to ask for interest instead?
This is a bit unreasonable.
Everyone knows Wang Pingping's situation. Tong Weilong is not a good person. There is no man in the family, and the income is low. The 300 yuan may have been borrowed with a lot of effort. How can there be money for interest?
Liu Chunhua naturally thought of this.
As if grasping at a life-saving straw, she immediately straightened her back and raised her head.
"That's right. For the Long family, it's only natural to pay off debts. 300 yuan is not a small amount. If I don't give some interest, I won't be able to explain it to my family."
Tong Weimin is such an honest person, how could he ask for interest? It's just that Liu Chunhua used his banner to make things difficult.
Wang Pingping took a deep breath.
"Sister Chunhua, even if you don't tell me, I should take the initiative to give it to you. How do you calculate the interest?"
At that time, Tong Qian was ill in the hospital. Tong Weimin hid Liu Chunhua and gave her 300 yuan in a hurry, so that he could afford Tong Qian's medical treatment.
Although she doesn't like this sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart, for brother Min's love, Wang Pingping still has the essentials.
That's okay, let's spread the matter out and explain it clearly today, so as to avoid troubles in the future.
Liu Chunhua did not expect things to develop so smoothly.
In her prediction, being able to borrow the 300 yuan was already Wang Pingping's limit.
That's right, she didn't want any interest from the beginning, she just wanted to make Wang Pingping look bad.
Once the money is not available, the matter will quickly spread to the surrounding towns and villages through the mouths of these gossip women.
Until then, let's see how she pretends!
So when Wang Pingping asked her directly, Liu Chunhua's mind went blank. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of contemptuous expressions on the faces of the women who came with her, and she was instantly ashamed and annoyed.
"5 points profit!"
"what!"
The person involved, Wang Pingping, hadn't said anything, but an aunt who had been a wallflower for a long time finally couldn't help crying.
"5 points profit, why don't you grab it?"
This, this is simply a lion opening its mouth.
Tong Qian made a quick mental calculation.
5% interest is calculated on the basis of 5% of the total loan amount for one month, that is...
"Twenty dollars."
Zhou Mingyan reported the answer directly.
I borrowed 300 yuan, and after two months, I have to pay 30 yuan in interest. Is this not a proper usury?
Liu Chunhua's heart is too dark.
Tong Qian's face became very ugly.
He ground his teeth and stared at Liu Chunhua viciously, don't fall into my hands in the future, otherwise...
Seeing Wang Pingping's embarrassing expression, Liu Chunhua just felt happy for a while, and didn't think about the consequences of her actions at all.
She also ignored what others said, and stared straight at the woman in front of her who had made her jealous for a long time.
"5 cents, 30 yuan, not much. Your family has earned a lot of money outside for Long, and I don't ask you to be rich enough to take care of relatives. Just pay back the money."
Tong Qian couldn't help it at this time, and said with a sneer, "Aunt Chunhua, you have nothing to do and mention what my dad is doing every day, so be careful that it comes out of your mouth."
It was short of blatantly saying that Liu Chunhua was shameless and missed Tong Weilong.
As a nine-year-old child, it is obviously out of line to say this.
Without waiting for the others to frown, Wang Pingping came back to her senses and reprimanded, "Baby, children should not interrupt casually in matters of adults."
Tong Qian was used to being in front of his mother, and he was very unconvinced when he heard the words, but Zhou Mingyan held his hand tightly, and then he shut up.
Wang Pingping took a few steps forward and stood almost face to face with Liu Chunhua.
Liu Chunhua was forced to take two steps back with a guilty conscience, and after thinking about it, isn't asking for interest a matter of course? It was as if she was afraid of her, so she stopped backing.
Wang Pingping clenched her fists tightly and let them go again.
She let out a long breath.
"Okay... 30 yuan, right?"
Seeing that his mother was about to pay for this unreasonable "interest", Tong Qian was extremely anxious.
Although they made a little money by selling antiques, if all the money was allocated, there would be no rice for the family!
Liu Chunhua dared to blackmail face to face because his mother was easy to bully, but Tong Qian was not so easy to provoke.
He reached out and grabbed his mother's sleeve, trying to stop her, but met Wang Pingping's eyes full of guilt and uneasiness.
I swallowed back what I wanted to say.
Forget it, it's not that he doesn't know what kind of character his mother is, if he can calm things down, he will never get ahead.
Think about her as a woman, living in the village with two young children, if she doesn't wrong herself a bit in everything, she might get into trouble.
After all, it was all Tong Weilong's fault!
Tong Qian couldn't blame his mother who worked so hard for his growth, so he vented all his anger on his scumbag father.
The women who came together looked at each other in blank dismay, not saying anything - this was originally a matter between the two of them.
Wang Pingping bit her lip, turned around and walked into the room, and soon came out with a few banknotes in her hand.
Liu Chunhua's eyes widened.
Where did she get so much money?
Facing the money handed to her eyes, she soon had no time to think so much, and subconsciously picked it up.
Halfway through her hand, another rough hand suddenly came in from the side and pushed the money into Wang Pingping's arms.
"We can't take this money." A rough man's voice sounded.
"Brother Weimin."
Wang Pingping's eyes widened in surprise.
The silent and honest man repeated again, saying, "You take the money back."
Seeing the thing in her hand being pushed back alive by her man, the anger that Liu Chunhua had been holding back for two months finally broke out.
"What do you mean? What do you mean?" She called out in a sharp voice, "You are a generous human being. Who am I working so hard to manage money for?"
As he spoke, he began to cry.
Tong Weimin got up early in the morning to cut firewood. When he got home, he learned from his son that his wife had asked Wang Pingping for debts, so he immediately put down his carrying pole and rushed over.
He has always been clumsy and tongue-tied, and he is tolerant of the aggressive Liu Chunhua.
This time, Liu Chunhua was rolling around in front of everyone, he was speechless and only knew to repeat a sentence.
"We can't ask for this money."
Liu Chunhua simply sat down on the ground and patted the ground with her hands, unable to live or die.
"Okay, okay." The matter was so embarrassing that Grandma Li, the elder, spoke.
"Weimin, you pick up yours and take it home. What does it look like in the early morning?"
After receiving the order, Tong Weimin skillfully lifted his wife, who weighed more than 160 kilograms, out of the house.
