"Just say it here, don’t dawdle!" An Shuchao spoke up, feeling uncertain inside and fearing his brother might ntion an astronomical figure.
An Baoguo nervously extended a hand.
"Five thousand?" An Shuchao could accept it if that were the case.
Even though five thousand was already a considerable sum for him!
Not only was it a significant amount for him, but it was for everyone! Five thousand could buy a house.
An Baoguo shook his head, "No!"
"Fifty thousand?"
"Mm."
An Shuchao almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "Second brother, why don’t you just disassemble your elder brother’s old bones and sell them?"
Fifty thousand!
That’s a damn astronomical number!
"No way," An Hao heard the discrepancy. "Who would lend fifty thousand to soone unemployed like him? Unless it’s a scam to cheat money?"
An Ping agreed, "Do you have such great ability? Fifty thousand in debt, I bet even the loan sharks wouldn’t lend it to you!"
Clearly, the value far exceeded his own worth.
The goal of loan sharks is to earn interest.
The money lent out must be recovered.
If the money goes out but can’t be collected, who would willingly lend it? Even if they take the person’s life, it wouldn’t help.
They want money, not lives.
If any loan shark lent money like that, I guess the lender’s brain must have been kicked by a mule or squeezed by a door fra.
"Baoguo, you can’t screw your brother over like this!" An Shuchao was anxious too, "Tell , how did you borrow this money?"
An Baoguo hesitated for a long ti, realizing he couldn’t keep silent anymore.
Helplessly, he sighed and spoke up: "It’s nothing but robbing Peter to pay Paul! I borrowed money and couldn’t repay, so my wife went to another place to borrow, bringing money here! My wife couldn’t repay, so my son had to borrow!"
"What? You started a family outside? How co you never ntioned this?" An Shuchao fud with anger, "Tell , do you have a single truthful word left in your mouth?"
"Brother, I’m not lying this ti! I’m going to die, but I can’t let your sister-in-law and nephew join on the Nether Road, can I?" An Baoguo cried as he looked tearfully at his brother.
"You’re not dumb, huh? Now you know how to give the child and wife a stable ho? You used your brother’s money to fill your hole, to consider your family. Did you ever think about and An Ping? Selfish bastard!" An Hao was furious.
"An Hao, your second uncle is incompetent, in your eyes he’s just a bum. I know you’ve had it pretty good all these years, with money in your pockets. We’re blood relatives, you wouldn’t watch your second uncle’s family fall into hardship, right?" An Baoguo wiped his tears, looking pitifully at An Hao, as though the whole world owed him money.
"I say, second uncle, your pathetic act is getting better and better... No money, and you can’t go earn so? Are you missing an arm or a leg?" An Ping was utterly disgusted with his second uncle.
He suddenly felt that this kind of sly behavior seed so familiar, just like sothing he had recently experienced.
"Say no more. No matter what, your second uncle is my biological brother. I can’t watch him get chopped down on the street, can I? Help as much as you can." An Shuchao sighed deeply, stepped forward, and gently patted An Baoguo’s shoulder, "Where are your sister-in-law and nephew? Perhaps bring them all back!"
