Hearing such a hysterical interrogation, she was at a loss because she truly couldn’t come up with that much money!
Biting down hard, she turned to look at the man holding the golf club...
She knew this man, aware that his name was Lin Ba, a well-known local delinquent...
Thinking of how he had tormented her father more than once before, she spoke out in fury, "What you’re doing is illegal, threatening people like this, I’m going to call the police! I’ll have them arrest all of you!"
When Lin Ba heard her annoyed reproach, he sneered menacingly, mocking her, "Oh dear, you can’t just eat anything as you please, nor can you say whatever you like. What do you mean by ’scaring people’? It’s only right to repay debts! I still have the IOU your father signed, am I not allowed to come and collect the debt now?"
Waving the IOU, Lin Ba turned his head and coldly looked at the trembling middle-aged man on the ground and said, "What? Do you share the same thoughts as your daughter and plan on not repaying the debt?"
"No! No! No! Brother Ba, I didn’t mean that! I’m certainly planning to pay back the money!"
Trembling as he spoke, he turned to look at his daughter and yelled, "Stop spouting nonsense and hurry up and give me the money! It’s only right for a daughter to pay off her father’s debts, isn’t it? Give me the money!"
Hearing her father’s hysterics once again, she had a face full of despair, "Dad, if I had the money, I’d definitely give it to you! But I really can’t come up with so much money right now!"
Usually, he would come over and over to ask for money, so now, let alone three hundred thousand, she couldn’t even come up with thirty thousand!
Upon hearing his daughter proclaim her lack of funds, he became enraged, "Useless, you’re just useless, completely and utterly useless!"
After spewing his angry mockery, he faced Lin Ba with a fawning expression and said, "Brother Ba, as you can see, my daughter is useless and can’t come up with the money, but this flower shop belongs to her! I’m giving you the flower shop now! That should cover the debt, right?"
Lin Ba, hearing the mention of the flower shop, looked around, then scoffed mockingly, "This broken flower shop for five hundred thousand? You really know how to calculate!"
Hearing the number Lin Ba mentioned, the pale-faced middle-aged man twitched at the corner of his mouth and quickly spoke softly, "Five hundred thousand? What five hundred thousand? Didn’t I just borrow three hundred thousand from you?"
Lin Ba scoffed, "Three hundred thousand? What, borrowing money doesn’t incur interest? Are you joking with me?"
Hearing such contemptuous words, the middle-aged man forced a laugh, "Brother Ba, I know I need to pay interest! But even with interest, two hundred thousand is too much! I only borrowed it for a few hours!"
"What, you have a problem with the high-interest rate for borrowing my money?"
Feeling the tangible murderous intent, he almost wet himself...
Afterwards, he quickly shook his head and said, "No... I don’t! But Brother Ba, I really can’t come up with so much money at once!"
As he pleaded, Lin Ba sneered, "That’s not my concern. Either you give me the money now, or I’ll break one of your legs. You choose!"
"I... I... I..."
He twisted his face in an ugly struggle...
The others in the shop sighed silently as they witnessed the scene!
They knew the middle-aged man was pitiable, but they had no sympathy for him, because they knew that he had brought it all upon himself!
After all, no one had forced him to gamble, nor to borrow money from thugs.
Seeing his hesitation, Lin Ba shook the golf club in his hand, speaking coldly, "What, you really plan on losing an arm?"
"I..."
After struggling for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitching, his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at his daughter, and then he quickly said, "Brother Ba, I... I offer you my daughter, would that suffice?"
Upon hearing his words, Lin Ba glanced at the sweet-looking girl, "Your daughter?"
Seeing what seemed like interest in Lin Ba, he nodded vigorously, "Yes! My daughter! I offer her to you! And the flower shop too, as long as you stop asking me for money!"
"Dad, what are you saying! How can you just give me away to someone? I’m not some item!"
"Shut your mouth! I’ve raised you all these years, and now it’s time for you to repay me!"
After saying so, he turned his head to look at Lin Ba, continuing to fawn, "Brother Ba, my daughter has a good temper, she can serve you well! You definitely won’t be at a loss."
Listening to this, Lin Ba scrutinized the girl.
Lin Ba had been captivated by the beauty before, and now hearing this, he was even more interested...
Licking his lower lip, he excitedly said, "If you can convince your daughter, then I have no objections!"
"Good! Good! Good! I’m sure I can convince her, after all, it’s a blessing for her to follow you!"
After fawning over Lin Ba, he turned to his daughter and said, "Daughter, you heard what I just said to Brother Ba, from now on you’ll follow him!"
He was trying his best to persuade his daughter, knowing that if it worked out, he would become Lin Ba’s father-in-law.
With that connection, he would be able to swagger through this neighborhood!
She gave her father a look and shook her head vehemently, "No! I won’t! I won’t!"
