Chapter 129 Interest
"Then I don't know who the Bai family plans to ask to be a witness?"
Chu Fengmao also knew that Bai Jingting could not be stopped, so he could only ask helplessly.
Now Chu Fengmao only hoped that Bai Jingting would not invite too many people, otherwise the last fig leaf of their Chu family might be gone.
Chu Fengmao thought too much about this point, how could Bai Jingting call so many irrelevant people over such a matter as paying back the money.
"Zhuanger, go and ask your teacher to come over to be a witness!" Bai Jingting ignored Chu Fengmao, but looked at Chu Zhuang and said
Yao Pingzhi was the most appropriate witness for this.
On the one hand, Yao Pingzhi was the county magistrate, and the Chu family did not dare to back down in front of him. On the other hand, because Yao Pingzhi was a teacher in Chuzhuang, he would defend them somewhat.
"Yes!" Chu Zhuang agreed, he and Yunmengxi exchanged glances, and they walked out the door together.
The members of the Chu family stood in the lobby and looked at Bai Wanting's tablet, panicking, but they had no choice but to wait for them.
"teacher."
Chuzhuang and the others came to the county government office and found Yao Pingzhi directly.
"Why did you come back suddenly?" Yao Pingzhi frowned and asked, he thought it was some kind of trouble in Chu Zhuang.
"There is something that I have to ask the teacher to come forward and be a witness." Chu Zhuang said, pursing his lips.
Yao Pingzhi nodded, and said seriously: "But it's okay to say!"
Chu Zhuang informed Yao Pingzhi about the Chu family and others coming to pay back the money.
After hearing this, Yao Pingzhi showed a surprised expression. He looked at Chu Zhuang and asked, "As far as I know, this Chu family is not someone who will pay back money!"
If the Chu family had the intention of repenting, they would not have bullied the Bai family and Chu Zhuang for so many years.
"Don't do bad things on weekdays, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night."
Chu Zhuang thought about the faces of those in the Chu family, with a look of sarcasm in his eyes, and said: "They have done a lot of bad things, and they are afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, so they thought of paying back the money."
Although what Chu Zhuang said was vague, Yao Pingzhi understood Chu Zhuang after all, and understood that this matter should be related to Chu Zhuang.
He didn't ask much, stood up and said, "If that's the case, then I'll be the witness!"
The debt owed by the Chu family will come to the Bai family to repay today. As the teacher of Chu Zhuang, it is natural for him to be this witness
"Thank you, teacher!" Chu Zhuang and Yun Mengxi looked at each other with delighted expressions.
Yao Pingzhi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be so polite between you and me, teachers and students."
Chu Zhuang showed a smile, and said: "Teacher, what you said is wrong, and you should express your gratitude and heart to those who are close to you! Only when you take it for granted will it chill people's hearts!"
"Your mouth!" Yao Pingzhi shook his head helplessly, and said, "Let's go!"
The three came to the Bai family, and everyone in the Chu family showed surprise when they saw that the witness was Yao Pingzhi.
Just now when Bai Jingting asked Chu Zhuang to invite the teacher over, they thought they were inviting Chu Zhuang's teacher from the county school.
Who knew it was Yao Pingzhi, the county magistrate!
When did Chu Zhuang become Yao Pingzhi's student? !
Bai Jingting went up to meet him, and said apologetically to Yao Pingzhi, "I'm sorry, magistrate."
Yao Pingzhi waved his hand and said: "You are welcome, if there is anything between you that needs to be settled, just explain it, and I will witness it!"
Bai Jingting knew that Yao Ping was busy with his affairs, and he didn't intend to delay his attitude, so he nodded and agreed.
"Wait a moment."
Bai Jingting took out the account book from the room, which clearly recorded the things that the Chu family had taken from him and Bai Wanting over the years.
Bai Jingting glanced at Chu Fengmao and said: "I read it clearly one by one. If there are any inaccuracies, you can point them out!"
Speaking of which, Bai Jingting didn't wait for Chu Fengmao's objection, and read directly.
As big as a shop, as small as Chu Pengqing got a silver coin, all of them were recorded in the book.
This ledger clearly records the humiliation and grievances that Bai Jingting has suffered over the years, and now he can finally pay for a sum of money.
Land begging is coming back!
Bai Jingting couldn't help being a little angry.
Listening to the bills that Bai Jingting read out, Chu Fengmao showed a look of shame on his face, wishing he could just dig a hole in the ground and get in.
"You scoundrel, you took so much money from the Bai family!" Chu Fengmao was angry, so he had to beat Chu Pengqing with a cigarette stick to vent his anger.
"Ouch, ouch!"
Chu Pengqing was originally afraid of Yao Pingzhi, and he didn't want to attract his attention at all. Chu Fengmao would hurt his flesh, so he didn't dare to move, so he could only endure it.
After a long time, Bai Jingting read all these accounts until his mouth was dry.
"How much does it cost?" Yun Mengxi whispered while covering her mouth.
Chu Zhuang has already done some calculations just now, and there are more than 300 gold coins to be converted into silver. This is still the result without calculating the interest.
Chu Zhuang told Yunmengxi the answer.
"So much?" Yunmengxi's eyes widened. The Chu family is really a vampire. Over the past ten years, they have been greedy for so much money from the Bai family.
No wonder Bai Jingting was so embarrassed that he couldn't pay his wages when Zuixianlou suffered a blow, and the Chu family took all the money away!
Chu Zhuang nodded, and he still wrote down all these, and there was always something else that was not recorded.
So the real number will only be more than this, which is why Chu Zhuang said to increase the interest.
He will not give the Chu family any chance to take advantage!
Bai Jingting put down the ledger in his hand, handed it to Chu Fengmao, and asked, "I wonder if you have any questions about this ledger?
Chu Fengmao and the others dare not have any doubts, their own family knows their own affairs best, what they get from Bai Jingting will only be better than here
More.
"There is still something in this shop that can't be returned now, can it be exchanged for money?" Chu Fengmao looked at Bai Jingting and asked.
"Oral humiliation'"
Bai Jingting also knew that he couldn't get the shop back. After all, so many years had passed, and he didn't even know whether the shop was still there. Of course, it would be converted into silver!
Seeing that Bai Jingting nodded in response, everyone in the Chu family heaved a sigh of relief.
"You do the math, how much money is there!" Chu Fengmao grabbed Chu Pengqing and asked him to calculate.
Chu Pengqing bit the bullet and began to calculate item by item under the gaze of everyone.
Chu Zhuang watched from the sidelines, and if he made a mistake during the period, or miscalculated the price, he pointed out all of them, and finally came up with an accurate figure.
"370 nine gold coins, another 980 silver coins, 54 copper plates..."
After Chu Pengqing reported the number, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He was not ignorant, but he was shocked.
Taking things from the Chu family bit by bit, and accumulating over ten years, there are so many!
Bai Jingting looked at Chu Fengmao indifferently, and asked, "Are you planning to pay back all the money now?"
When Chu Fengmao came back to his senses, he glared at Chu Pengqing fiercely, this scoundrel, he will settle accounts with him when he goes back, first settle here first!
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Chu Fengmao quickly responded, slapped Chu Pengqing fiercely and said, "Why don't you bring the box here soon?!"
Chu Pengqing pursed his lips tightly, not daring to refute, and immediately went to bring the box over.
These boxes not only contained the [-] gold coins they had just borrowed, but also the savings of the Chu family.
"Don't be busy yet!"
Bai Jingting waved his hand to stop them from paying back the money.
"What's wrong?" Chu Fengmao looked at Bai Jingting, suddenly panicked, and asked nervously.
"Since the money was borrowed by your Chu family, how can it be only the principal and not the interest?!"
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Bai Jingting's lips and said: "If you want to pay back the money, don't forget to add three cents of interest!"
If the sum of these moneys is added up, it will cost almost forty gold coins a year.
A gold coin!
This is a lot of money!
Chu Fengmao's face turned pale, and his body was a little unsteady. He stabilized his figure by supporting the table.
"Father..." Chu Pengqing looked at Chu Fengmao anxiously, waiting for his response.
"Calculate!"
The blue veins on Chu Fengmao's forehead bulged, and he suppressed the roiling emotions in his heart and said: "Since it is a loan, of course you can't just repay the principal, but also the interest!"
"I just don't know, Bai's family, how many years will your interest be calculated?" Chu Fengmao looked at Bai Jingting and asked.
Bai Jingting looked indifferent, and said: "I'm not a greedy person, just count five years, take a whole number of two hundred gold coins! Is the old lady Chu satisfied with this number?"
"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied!"
Can Chu Fengmao say anything other than satisfaction?
"Repay the money!" Chu Fengmao glared at Chu Pengqing, and ordered in a cold voice.
Right now, Chu Fengmao could only direct his anger at Chu Pengqing.
Chu Pengqing didn't care, and immediately counted it. After the calculation, he came to Chu Fengmao's side in a little embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Father, our money is not enough..."
Borrowing a thousand gold coins, their savings add up to only more than 300 gold coins, and they are still more than 200 gold coins short of the amount to be repaid to the Chu family!
This is just short of interest.
"Can't you come up with the money?!" Chu Fengmao glared at Chu Pengqing and roared angrily.
"I, where do I have money!" Chu Fengmao wanted to cry but had no tears. He used to have Bai Jingting, a living "money bag", and he always spent as much as he wanted, so how could he have savings!
"What about you?!" Chu Fengmao looked at Huang Hemiao and the others.
Huang Hemiao lowered her head to her chest. She really didn't have any money. All the money she brought from Chu Zhuang was sent to Chu Hong who was studying in Fucheng. She didn't have any extra money on her body.
Needless to say, Huang Chunhua, all of the Chu family's money was in her hands, and now it has all been taken out.
As for Chu Shiyu, she does have her own small treasury, but this is the dowry she saved, so how could she be willing to take it out at this time!
Chu Fengmao looked at them all pretending to be quails, and was about to be pissed off by them.
But right now, there is no other way but to say to Bai Jingting: "Let's repay the principal first, and the remaining interest will be delivered to our door in person later!"
"can."
Bai Jingting didn't make things difficult for them, after all, the big head had already come out, and if the small head were to let go, it would be too much for them.
After the two parties finished counting the financial affairs, Bai Jingting handed over the account book to Chu Fengmao.
Chu Fengmao's hand holding the account book couldn't help shaking. He was furious, looked at the charcoal basin in the center of the lobby, walked over, and threw the account book into it.
Chu Fengmao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the ledger was completely burnt.
This karma is finally over!
