chapter 13 Villagers pressed Bridget for debt

"Bridget, you little woman, when will you pay me back the two thousand yuan your family owes me? It's been almost two years. Do you want to default on the debt?"

"Bridget, your family has owed me a thousand yuan for almost two years. When will you pay it back to me? I'm looking for money urgently."

"Bridget, when your father-in-law lent me 10,000 yuan when he was still alive, will you pay me back? If you really can't afford it, then use your corn field to pay off the debt."

"Bridget, you are a little widow with a daughter and a fool, why not go out and find a man to marry. In this way, you don't have to pay me back the five thousand yuan, just transfer the corn land to me."

"That's right, Bridget is a white tiger star, and she can't control her parents-in-law. If she stays in our village, our village will be in bad luck sooner or later. It's better to let her leave our village as soon as possible."

"Yes, let her leave our village. With such a White Tiger Star, we will not be at peace."

…

At this moment, in front of Bridget's house, there was a large group of men and women, all villagers from the village, asking for debts from Bridget.

It turned out that when Bridget's husband and parents-in-law were still alive, her father-in-law Caetano Austin was an upright and sincere person, generous with money, and was also a good hunter. He often brought back various game from the mountains and distributed it to the villagers.

Therefore, he is deeply loved and respected by the villagers.

Later, when Kame Austin was in college and her brain was broken, a series of expenses such as going to a city hospital for treatment, Ghauth Austin getting a wife, etc. were all borrowed from her father-in-law Caetano Austin from acquaintances or friends.

The money borrowed will naturally have to be repaid.

However, due to Caetano Austin's face, no one urged them to pay back the money as soon as possible.

Later, three people in the Lin family died within a year. The villagers saw that Bridget had to take care of her daughter and a stupid uncle. Life was very difficult, so they did not force her to pay back the money.

Just keep those IOUs.

As for Bridget, she also remembered the amount owed to each creditor one by one, thinking of relying on her own efforts to farm and pay off these foreign debts as soon as possible.

But she is a weak woman and a drag on the family. No matter how hard she works, she can only make ends meet, and there is no money left to pay off her debts.

The debt of tens of thousands of dollars was like a mountain, weighing her down so much that she could hardly breathe.

She didn't say a word, still wanting to rely on herself and work hard to make money to pay off her debts.

Kame Austin's illness got better, which gave her hope in life.

She believed that when the ten acres of corn harvested, she would be able to pay off part of the urgent debt.

Unexpectedly, at dawn today, all these creditors came to her from home to ask for money. Moreover, Kame Austin was nowhere to be found. Bridget was so anxious that she wiped her eyes and didn't know what to do.

Cathy Austin in his arms had never seen such a battle before, and he was so frightened that he cried.

"Aunts, don't worry. The money my family owes you will definitely be paid back to you. When my Bao Miqiu collects the money, I will be the first to pay it back to you, okay?"

Bridget begged the first few village women while wiping her tears.

But these village women each had their hands folded across their chests, their faces full of indifference.

Some even showed extremely disgusted looks.

Bridget had no choice but to look at an old man who was smoking a cigarette and pleaded:

"Mr. Landis, you used to be good friends with my father-in-law. Please help me persuade them. I'm really not deadbeat, but I really don't have the money to pay you back now. But I will definitely pay you back if I have money in the future."

The old man Mr. Landis didn't even look at Bridget, and turned around to smoke his old cigarette pot.

Bridget's heart sank, and she continued to look at a kind-hearted middle-aged woman, and begged: "Ms. Eileen, you and my mother-in-law used to be like sisters, now please help me to persuade everyone. , I will definitely repay the money I owe them. I will definitely work hard to make money to repay the money."

Unexpectedly, this Ms. Eileen directly spat: "Bridget, don't use the past as an excuse. The past was before, and the present is now. It is only natural to kill people to pay for their lives, and to pay debts for money. We are not a wealthy family. We all eat from the fields, and no money is easy to come by. And if your family doesn’t pay back the money every day, how can you do it? Even if you can’t afford it, you have to think of other ways. You can’t grow old. There’s no money to live on.”

"It's just that I don't have the money to pay back, so I don't know how to think of other ways. It doesn't matter if I sit around all day without paying back the money."

"Huh, when her father-in-law borrowed the money, he promised to pay it back in two or three months. Who knows, after waiting for two years, there is no money to pay back."

"Hey, this money, not to mention the interest, but to return the principal to us, is not bad."

Several village women started talking again and again.

It seems like they won’t give up until they pay back the money.

Bridget became even more anxious, looking longingly at Rashard who had been staring at her, and said sadly: "Mr. Rashard, weren't you and Ghauth Austin good friends before? You are here to ask for the account too. Please help me." Let me advise everyone, I will really pay them back. As long as I don’t die, the money will definitely be paid back.”

In the past, before Ghauth Austin died, Rashard would come to their house to play every day, and she would entertain him with good cigarettes and good wine.

I thought that no matter how good Rashard was, he would still be a bit mean and intercede for her.

Unexpectedly, Rashard shook his head, forced a smile, and said: "Well, Bridget, I can't help it. In fact, everyone is not forcing you, but you have owed money for too long, and you are almost 2 It’s been years, and it’s unreasonable not to pay back the money. However, everyone said that you should still be able to find a way to pay back the money.”

He kept staring at Bridget's face and chest, a trace of greed flashing in his small eyes.

Since Ghauth Austin death, he has been coveting Bridget's beauty.

There was no respect or help for Bridget because she was the wife of her late friend Ghauth Austin, but only a strong possessive desire.

Unexpectedly, a big chubby hand stretched out from behind and hit his face with a snap, leaving five finger prints immediately on his face.

Then a Hedong lion roar came from his ears, "Rashard, what are you looking at? What's so good about her? She's just the white tiger star of Mr. and Mrs. Kefuke. If you dare to look at her, believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs." ?”

Faithe, who was as tall as a mountain of meat, glared at her husband and reached out to pinch her husband's ears, but Rashard dodged him. Thousands of people

He stroked his face and retorted unwillingly, "Faithe, are you crazy? Why are you acting so wildly here? You have to fight back home. It's not too shameful to fight here."

If he was beaten at home, he would just endure it.

But beating him in front of so many people will make even the most honest person angry.

"Hey, who gave you the courage to speak out? Okay, you can go back and think about it now. It's up to me to ask for the debt. I'll deal with you properly when I get back."

Faithe was furious, holding Rashard's collar and pushing him to the side, telling him to get back first.

A burst of teasing laughter immediately erupted from the crowd.
