Chapter 252 Helping to Collect Debts
The exit of the Shangdu subway is not within the city, but ten miles outside the city. When he got out of the station, Chen Fang first called Fang Dazhao to see if he could get in touch, but he was still not connected, so he had no choice but to ride the electric car, According to memory, he drove to Fang Dazhao's home.
When he came to Fang Dazhao's house, Chen Fang saw the locked gate and didn't know what to do next. He recalled that Fang Dazhao once said that his family had a breeding farm, and Chen Fang decided to go there to have a look. I found someone nearby to ask the location of the farm and found it.
Breeding farms generally occupy a large area, and Fang Dazhao's is the same. The 100-acre land is surrounded by a wall. When Chen Fang came to the gate, he saw that Fang's farm was written on it, so he must have come to the right place.
"Wu Xiuxiu, no matter what your family owes, you have to pay it back today, otherwise we will close the place."
"Yes, we know that you have difficulties, but you owe many days, and you can't delay any longer."
"Wu Xiuxiu, I don't want to say too much, but I have to pay back the money no matter what."
When Chen Fang came here, there was a group of people around the gate. In the crowd stood a normal-looking, slightly fat, typical aunt who knew Fang Dazhao a little bit.
Chen Fang stood quietly and listened to the meeting, and learned the reason of the incident from the creditor.
Some time ago, Wu Xiuxiu's farm had a strange plague, and most of the animals died. In order to survive, Wu Xiuxiu used all her savings and borrowed money to buy a new batch of young animals, but what she didn't expect was that These chicks had an accident just a few days after they were raised.
This time, the water source of the farm was poisoned. Wu Xiuxiu's son deliberately guarded the water source in order to investigate who poisoned him, but something happened. He was severely injured by the poisoner. Together, Wu Xiuxiu's whole body was about to pass away. As a last resort, she sold two properties and borrowed a large sum of money. On the one hand, she used it to buy new chicks, and on the other hand, she used it to treat Fang Dazhao. , In two aspects of money, Wu Xiuxiu used up all the money she borrowed, and her life was almost unsustainable.
After a long time, the creditors saw that Wu Xiuxiu's farm had no signs of improvement and seemed to be going bankrupt, so they came to collect debts one after another.
"Everyone, my family really can't afford that much money at once, but please rest assured, the money will definitely be paid back, just need to give me more time."
"This breeding farm is the only remaining property of our family. Even if we sell it, we won't be able to raise enough money to pay you back. I can still pay it off slowly if I keep it. Please." Wu Xiuxiu begged bitterly.
"I don't care about other people. I must get the money today. You can't pay back everyone's money after selling your farm, but it's enough for me." Someone said reluctantly.
His words also resonated with other creditors, who asked Wu Xiuxiu to sell the farm to repay their debts.
What these people said to each other made Wu Xiuxiu cry on the spot. No matter how much she begged, the creditors could not give up the idea of forcing her to sell the farm.
Seeing the persecution by a group of people, Chen Fang understood and felt annoyed about these creditors. It is only natural to pay back the debts, but you can't force them to sell the last capital that can be turned around. Force people to a dead end.
And as Wu Xiuxiu said, even if the money from selling the breeding farm is paid off, the debts will be paid off, at most one or two people will be paid off, but what about other people's money? It is very simple to keep the money to earn money and pay off the debt slowly, and one day it will all be paid off. This is a very simple truth, but this group of creditors only care about their own money, which is really hateful.
"Auntie, are you Fang Dazhao's mother?" Chen Fang squeezed in front of Wu Xiuxiu and asked.
"Yes, you are?" Wu Xiuxiu wiped away her tears and said with red eyes.
"My name is Chen Fang. I'm a friend of Fang Dazhao. I wonder if he mentioned it to you?"
"Yes, yes, he often mentions you to me. I'm sorry, Auntie has something to do and can't entertain you today. Why don't you go to the meeting first and entertain you after I finish my work here." Wu Xiuxiu saw that it was Fang Dazhao My friend said with some embarrassment that she was really embarrassed to let Chen Fang see that her home was blocked by creditors.
"It's okay, auntie, you go ahead." Chen Fang said it doesn't matter.
"I said Wu Xiuxiu, if you have guests, don't chat with us here, pay back the money quickly and entertain them."
"I know a broker who specializes in property acquisitions. Do you need me to contact you? For my sake, he can sell this farm for twenty or thirty gold coins."
"It's agreed, pay me back the money after selling the farm."
"I want mine too, I'm waiting to use it urgently."
The creditors started yelling again, and the tears that Wu Xiuxiu had just wiped away began to flow out of her eyes again. She really couldn't deal with this group of people who were always thinking of selling the farm to pay off the debt.
"Auntie, how much do you owe?" Chen Fang couldn't bear to see Fang Dazhao's mother like this, and under the influence of compassion, he planned to do his best, and he still had some money in his pocket, so he would help if he could.
Before Wu Xiuxiu could speak, some fine creditors reported the amount they owed them.
"Counting the interest, she owes me fifteen gold coins in total."
"Thirteen gold coins, written in black and white."
"My eight gold coins."
The creditors opened their mouths one after another, and Chen Fang silently calculated that he owed almost ninety gold coins in total, and he had about the same amount of money left, so Chen Fang said: "Take out all your IOUs, I will pay you for this money." Her home is back."
The creditor smiled when he heard this, but Wu Xiuxiu was anxious, "Chen Fang, this is impossible, Auntie cannot ask you to pay back the money."
"Wu Xiuxiu, what are you thinking? You don't want someone to pay you back."
"Anyway, I don't care if you want it or not. I just know that if you don't pay me today, I will seal up this farm for you."
"That's right, either sell the farm, or ask this little brother to help you pay back the money."
When the creditors heard that Wu Xiuxiu didn't want Chen Fang to help her pay back the money, they all shouted.
Wu Xiuxiu was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, the creditor was persecuting her; Even if it's very good, she can't think of any reason to ask Chen Fang to help pay back, maybe there is some purpose, she has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world at her age, and she is a little apprehensive.
"Auntie, don't think too much, I'm not helping you pay back the money, I'm helping you collect debts, or take over the debts of these people, you will write me a new IOU later, and pay me as much as you want, It’s just that there is no interest or deadline, so you can pay it back slowly.” Chen Fang expressed his thoughts in order to reassure Wu Xiuxiu.
Brothers are bound to help out when they are in trouble, but Chen Fangqian did not come from a strong wind. Taking over the debts to avoid Wu Xiuxiu's desperation, coupled with no interest and no period, is the greatest help.
"Thank you." Wu Xiuxiu was relieved after hearing this. This result is undoubtedly the best. Chen Fang took over all the debts and became the creditor, so she would not be forced to sell the farm by a group of creditors.
Chen Fang took over the IOU while paying the money, and after a while, the group of creditors dispersed.
"I really don't know how to thank you. Come and sit with Auntie." Wu Xiuxiu pulled Chen Fang into the place where she usually lives in the farm.
"Drink water, Auntie doesn't have anything to entertain you, you're really neglected, don't take offense." Wu Xiuxiu brought a glass of water and said to Chen Fang very embarrassedly.
"Auntie, you're welcome. I had nowhere to go before, so Fang Dazhao helped me." Chen Fang drained the water in one gulp. He was really thirsty to death. Seeing this, Wu Xiuxiu hurriedly got up and wanted to pour water for Chen Fang, but was stopped down.
"Auntie, don't be too busy. I came here this time to find Fang Dazhao. Where did he go?" Chen Fang asked.
"Da Zhao went to the ruins of the fortress. In order to help the family pay off the debt, the child went there before his injury fully healed." Wu Xiuxiu sighed and said with a face full of self-blame.
Chen Fang felt relieved when he heard that Fang Dazhao was fine, "How did he get hurt? Who hit him?"
"Before the farm was poisoned, this child went to guard the only water source in the farm in order to find the poisoner, and then he was severely injured. I asked who injured him, but this child Said it was too dark to see clearly." Wu Xiuxiu recalled and said.
"How long has he been going to the ruins, will he come back today?" Chen Fang wanted to ask Fang Dazhao something in person, so he asked again.
"I went there yesterday, and I'm supposed to be back soon. I kept telling him to wait until his injury healed before going, but he just wouldn't listen, alas." Wu Xiuxiu showed worry on her face. Her child was still injured. If something happened to the ruins , which she really crossed.
"Mom, I'm back, and I'll tell you that I'm lucky this time, and I earned eight silver coins."
As soon as Wu Xiuxiu finished speaking, Fang Dazhao's voice sounded outside the door, and then Chen Fang saw a fat man wrapped up like a mummy walking in.
"There's someone in the family, it can't be the creditor, why is this bald head full of bumps?" Fang Dazhao didn't pay attention to Chen Fang's appearance, and muttered.
"Don't you know your friend?" Seeing Fang Dazhao coming back, Wu Xiuxiu let go of the worries in her heart, nodded Fang Dazhao's head and said.
"My friend? Ah, Chen Fang, when did you come here?" Fang Dazhao took a serious look and said awkwardly.
After all, the little fox's mouth is not a razor, and cleaning his "nest" is not so clean, so Chen Fang's head looks a little bumpy. After hearing Fang Dazhao's words, Chen Fang subconsciously touched the stubble head, and was very dissatisfied. The other party shouted: "Why didn't you answer the phone when I contacted you? If I didn't come here specially, I wouldn't know that such a big thing happened in your family."
"I just happen to be busy." Fang Dazhao laughed.
