?Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Revealing Hidden Motives Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Revealing Hidden Motives “My grandparents can definitely get money from my uncle; I am the only child in our family, and my uncle is counting on me to support him in his old age. He surely can’t ignore me—don’t worry,” Fang Xiaoshan suddenly remembered the kindness of Fang Jianping at this moment.
Initially, it was always Fang Jianping whom he approached whenever he owed money, feeling somewhat secretly annoyed at himself for how blind he had been. He thought about going to apologize to his uncle—even if it meant kneeling and bowing down—as long as he could coax the uncle back, he could have as much money as he wanted.
As for being beaten to this state now.
The loan shark chuckled and pointed to his men, “Come, help him up.”
As long as the money could be paid back, they would of course be pleasant and smiling.
A man came over and hoisted Fang Xiaoshan right up.
There, in the presence of these men, Fang Xiaoshan desperately squeezed out a smile, the corners of his mouth torn and bleeding, each smile pulling painfully at the wounds.
“Big brother, how about you wait here while I go to the town to ask my uncle for money, will that work for you?”
Fang Xiaoshan had made up his mind; once he got out that door, he was definitely going to run.
If he ran, leaving the old man and the others here to face the consequences, he did not believe his uncle could ignore his grandparents.
“Don’t! How can we trouble a great man like you with such things?”
Don’t think that this ‘big brother’ has risen to his position for nothing; he had seen much of the world. How could he not see through such petty tricks with his sharp eyes?
The firm big hand patted Fang Xiaoshan’s shoulder.
Almost knocking Fang Xiaoshan down.
“Old man, old woman, your grandson will just stay right here waiting for the both of you. Whether he can keep his legs today depends on whether you can get the money back. You two better hurry there and back! There are no cars going to town anymore. It will trouble you to walk up there, but we will have the difficulty of waiting here.” The loan shark big brother said to the old man and old woman with a smile.
The grandparents, glancing at their grandson with a woeful face, knew well that they could not get through this ordeal today; other than going to the younger son, there really was no other way.
“Don’t hit him, don’t hit him, we will figure out a way to get the money, just don’t hit him! Speak nicely, please.” The grandfather was out of options, his life had been turned into shambles by his grandson.
The peaceful and affluent life they used to know was now gone due to constant debt collections.
At this moment, the grandparents finally understood the value of the younger son; how good it was with him around before—he took care of everything, and there was always money when needed. But now, Fang Jianping had made up his mind not to care about them. This time, the grandparents had decided to approach the younger son; if he ignored them, they would rather die at his doorstep.
This was desperation—they were pushing themselves to death, otherwise Fang Xiaoshan would definitely not overcome this ordeal.
Fang Xiaoshan’s parents were anxious, “Mom and Dad, why don’t we go ask for money together? How can you two manage that long mountainous road on your own?” Neither wanted to stay in the house surrounded by loan sharks, who clearly looked violent and had smashed almost everything inside; they were already terrified.
Now that there was a chance to leave, who would want to stay?
The loan shark big brother sneered, “Don’t try any tricks with me, get going quickly; you two kill the chickens. All the brothers are starving, cook us two chickens, make sure it tastes good and serve us well, or your son will suffer.”
Thinking of escaping also depended on whether they would allow it.
