"If you don't run away, I will... Let's not talk about it. You can eat first.┗2326nbsp;┛After eating, we can talk formally, ah." Then he left.

About an hour later, someone came upstairs. The footsteps were those of Hengrou's thugs. Liu Songyue became frightened, wondering what they were going to do to him.

"Get up!" Hengrou's thug stood at the door and shouted.

Liu Songyue was shaken and froze without moving. Hengrou's thugs came in and pulled him: "Don't lie to death."

With just a slight pull, he pulled his body sideways. With another pull, he was sitting on the edge of the bed.

The thugs pulled him up and pushed him out of the door. He stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold. Then he was escorted down like a prisoner.

When they reached the ground floor, Liu Songyue felt as if they were going to sentence him, and the atmosphere was very tense. The three of them sat at the table and looked at him without blinking.

The handsome thug and the woman were sitting on a stool. Ma Hongbo sat facing south, slapping his fingers on the seat next to him to ask him to sit down. He sat on the empty seat on the west side.

After sitting down, they all looked at Ma Hongbo. Like the presiding judge, Ma Hongbo coughed and said solemnly: "Let's make a settlement today."

Liu Songyue's heart plummeted.

"You want to leave, don't you?" Ma Hongbo asked, staring closely at his swollen eyes.

Liu Songyue didn't dare to say anything. He didn't know what he meant. They looked at each other.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense.

Ma Hongbo said vaguely: "If you want to leave, fine, I can let you go."

Liu Songyue's ears stood straight up, and his eyes looked at the two thugs with fear, so frightened that the back of his head went numb.

"But we have to sign an agreement." Ma Hongbo said, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, opened it, handed it to him and said, "I made a draft. Take a look at it. If you agree, sign it. If you don't agree, then sign it.

Then..."

Liu Songyue took it, and it looked like there were only three lines of words, written with a ball pen, crookedly, like tiny earthworms twisted together. As he looked at it, his chest undulated. Two of the key sentences were like sharp steel needles.

, poked it through his eyes, all the way to his heart, and poked it there repeatedly:

Liu Songyue owed Ma Hongbo a total of RMB 40,000. Liu Songyue was unable to repay it, so he was willing to sell two tile-roofed houses with seven tiles in his hometown, together with the homestead price (40,000 yuan), to Ma Hongbo. From now on, the houses will be owned by Ma Hongbo...

Liu Songyue read it twice to make sure he saw it correctly, then his eyes blurred and he couldn't read the words clearly.

Ma Hongbo grabbed the paper, shook it in his hand and asked, "How's it going? I'm doing this for your own good."

Liu Songyue hung his head. He was so sad that he could not speak, and his eyes were filled with tears. This was beyond his expectation. How could he want my house? Why would he want it if it is so far away?

After blinking away the tears in his eyes, he raised his head and asked, "Don't I owe you ten thousand? Oh, no, let's count it as thirty thousand."

Ma Hongbo said nothing and looked at the two thugs. The Hengrou thug stared and punched the table: "What? We don't want any money?"

Yingjun pointed at him and said: "We worked in vain for you? Of course you have to pay for our ten thousand."

Liu Songyue's face turned black, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't say a word. But he was yelling in his heart: Are you still unreasonable? Or are you not human? At that time, my father owed money to others, and for more than ten years, they didn't ask for a penny.

Interest. Later, the money depreciated, and I wanted to give them some extra money, but they didn't ask for it. But you, on the other hand, added 10,000 as soon as you asked. Isn't this robbing money? You are the robbers of the new era.

Ma Hongbo spoke again, and he spoke eloquently. There are reasons for cannibalism: "Liu Songyue, I am really doing this for your own good. Yesterday, I drove to your hometown and saw you locked up in the air.

I have two tile-roofed houses, just for your sake. Since you don’t have anyone to live in anyway, just sell the house to me."

"What about me? I will forgive your debt. In this way, won't you be free? This is a sound policy that is beneficial to everyone."

Liu Songyue was surprised again: "Have you ever been to my hometown?"

Ma Hongbo nodded. Liu Songyue asked in confusion: "What do you want my house for?"

Ma Hongbo said mysteriously: "Don't ask. As long as you sign the agreement, I won't ask you for money. If you have money in the future, you can redeem the house."

Liu Songyue's heart was churning. Although he couldn't figure out why this guy suddenly wanted his house in northern Jiangsu. But he quickly calculated it in his mind and felt that this was really an emergency solution at present. In the future, I

Once you make money, just redeem it.

Just sign, no matter what, let the person go out first before talking. Thinking of this, he looked at him with some disbelief: "Do you mean what you said?"

"Have I eaten enough? I spent so much energy trying to fake it with you?" Ma Hongbo said. "If you agree to sign, I will print it out in duplicate."

Liu Songyue made up his mind and said, "Okay, just sign. But if I sign, can you really let me out?"

Ma Hongbo said to him: "If you sign, I will secretly let you out at night. In front of Mr. Li, I will just say that you ran away. Isn't that enough? You don't have to write the one million IOU."

"

After Liu Songyue heard this, he looked at him suspiciously and said nothing.

Ma Hongbo happily went out to print. After a while, he came in with the printed copy and signed it. Then, Ma Hongbo asked him to write another IOU for 40,000 yuan.

That night, Ma Hongbo went to buy some good wine and food to entertain him, and apologized to him. Then he treated him like a brother, drank wine and food, and became polite.

On the morning of the fourth day, Liu Songyue got up early, got dressed, and was ready to go back. At this time, before Ma Hongbo got up, Liu Songyue knocked on his door: "Ma Hongbo, I'm going back."

Ma Hongbo opened the door and said, "Are you in such a hurry? Let's play for one more day." He described this dark prison as an entertainment venue.

Liu Songyue said: "I'm not going to play anymore. I've been here for four or five days. Please return my phone to me and give me some travel expenses. I don't have a penny left."

Ma Hongbo leaned on the back of the bed, squinted his eyes, looked at him and said, "Let's rest for another day. When the car comes tomorrow, I will take you back."

Liu Songyue said: "No, I'll go back by myself."

Ma Hongbo then became serious: "Tomorrow, I will let you go again."

Liu Songyue's heart sank. What tricks was this guy going to do? He asked urgently: "Where are you going?"

Ma Hongbo said lightly: "Go to your hometown."

"What?" Liu Songyue became anxious, "Why are you going to my hometown? Didn't you say that once you sign, it won't be my business?"

Ma Hongbo smiled: "I can't let my house sit empty, I want to turn it into money."

Liu Songyue didn't expect that he would sell his house soon, and was shocked. How embarrassing it is. If a person even has his home stolen, can he still be considered a human being? He said with a swollen face: "Didn't you say, wait until I make money?"

Can the money be redeemed?"

"Yes." Ma Hongbo said slyly, "But how can I wait for you? I wonder if you can only make money in a monkey year? I will sell it first, and then you can redeem it in other people's hands if you want it."

Liu Songyue asked: "Who are you selling to? Is it Tao Xinfu?"

"It will be kept secret for the time being." Ma Hongbo said, "You will know when you go back."

Liu Songyue became frightened at the thought of going back and kept saying, "No, I can't go back. Even if you beat me to death, I won't go back."

He remembered that one year he went back during the Spring Festival, which made him very embarrassed.

That was three years ago. My mother was not in good health and she had to ask her eldest brother to call him and ask him to go back anyway. He knew that his mother thought he was ill, so he decided to go back secretly to see her.

.

It was the second day of the Lunar New Year. He took a bus from Shanghai to his hometown county town at around four in the afternoon. He wandered around the county town with his head down until it got dark before he called a motorcycle to take him home. It was already midnight when he got home.

It was past seven o'clock in the evening. He was afraid of being seen, so he went directly to his elder brother's house.

After not seeing her for many years, her mother has aged much. She was wearing a thick cotton coat and trousers, and her face was full of wrinkles. When she saw her son, she was afraid that he would run away again. She held his hand tightly and looked up and down: "You

Is it Songyue? Why have you become so thin and dark?"

He called me "Mother" and tears came down. Then my mother started to cry, with mucus coming from her nose and tears. After crying, her mother said heartbrokenly: "Songyue, outsiders who are not familiar with the place, it is easy to be misunderstood."

Bullying, you should go home, farm, raise pigs, and still survive."

He said: "Mom, how can I go home if I don't pay off my debt?"

Mother said in a low voice: "Come back, mother will help you do it, and we will pay it back together, ah."

He said excitedly: "My debt is not like my father's debt before. I can't repay it just by farming and raising pigs."

The mother said: "Then quickly find Yafang and ask her to help you return it."

He really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know how to tell his mother. Seeing that he didn't say anything, his mother asked again: "How can you do so many debts by yourself?"

He said: "Mom, you also know that my son has always been honest. He doesn't go whoring or gambling outside. He saves money on food and works hard like his father. But I don't understand it myself, so I owe so much in a daze."

The debts are growing more and more, growing like vines and entangled me like vines."

The mother didn’t understand: “What’s going on? Why can’t Mom understand?”

Liu Songyue felt it was hard to say anything, so he lowered his head and said nothing. His mother asked again: "Have you offended someone?"

He shook his head: "Never."

He sat by his mother's bed and talked until ten o'clock before returning to his own home. Although there were few people living in the house, his mother always came to help him open the door and clean the house, so there was not much musty smell in the house.

He wanted to stay quietly for one night, have breakfast at his elder brother's house the next day, say goodbye to his mother, and go out without anyone noticing. He would come back after making money, notify his creditors one by one to come drink, and then pay back the money.
