Rural Shennong

Early the next morning, Chen Ping got up with dark circles under his eyes.

When he left the house, he saw his sister-in-law Lin Yuru had already started cooking in the kitchen of the side room.

Seeing Chen Ping, she came out of the steaming kitchen wrapped in an apron, and asked with concern:

"Ping, did you not sleep well last night, why are you so dark circles?"

Hearing this, Chen Ping immediately replied with a wry smile:

"I slept pretty well, maybe the dark circles under my eyes were heavy because I was too tired on the way back."

After finishing speaking, he was full of helplessness, no one could sleep well after reading a small magazine all night.

Hearing what Chen Ping said, Lin Yuru smiled and said:

"Then you go wash up first, the rice will be ready soon."

Chen Ping responded, recalling the tomatoes he watered in the vegetable garden last night, he wiped his face with clean water and hurried to the vegetable garden.

As soon as he arrived at the vegetable garden, Chen Ping was startled by the scene in front of him.

In the tomato field not far away, there are bright red and plump tomatoes growing on it, each of which is twice the size of ordinary tomatoes, and the largest of them is almost as big as a football!

Looking at the tomato that was almost the size of a football, Chen Ping couldn't help exclaiming:

"My God, is this still a tomato?"

He stepped forward quickly, and when he reached the tomato field, the enticing fragrance immediately hit his nostrils, making his index finger twitch.

Chen Ping couldn't resist picking off a tomato, washed it with the water next to it, and then bit it off.

The mouth is full of sweet and sour, and the fresh and refreshing juice spreads to the taste buds, Chen Ping is full of shock.

The next moment, with chewing into the stomach, an amazing sense of comfort gradually came from the stomach, as if the fresh tomato juice was moisturizing every part of the stomach.

Chen Ping only felt the warmth in his stomach, like walking into a room with a stove in winter, it was extremely refreshing.

After a while, Chen Ping looked at the tomato in his hand in disbelief.

He learned from the medical classics that this tomato actually has the effect of regulating the stomach!

For a moment, Chen Ping's eyes sparkled.

Undoubtedly, Empress Nuwa didn't lie to him. Both the good fortune jade bottle and good fortune medical scriptures have miraculous effects that ordinary people can't imagine.

Right now, he not only has the hope of curing his lung cancer through fortune-telling medicine, but may even use the spirit liquid in the fortune-telling jade bottle to get rich!

He is about to develop!

When Chen Ping was so proud, he suddenly noticed that there was a group of people in his yard.

Among such people, he saw a familiar figure——Zhao Shihu!

Recognizing Zhao Shihu, Chen Ping's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly left the vegetable garden to go home.

……

In the courtyard of Chen Ping's house, Zhao Shihu stood awkwardly beside a middle-aged man with a plaster bandage on his right hand.

The middle-aged man is not fat, but his huge beer belly is extremely obvious. The most striking thing is that he has a hideous dragon tattooed on his right arm!

He is the notorious Zhao Liuzhi, formerly known as Zhao Jinhai!

Beside Zhao Liuzhi, there were four strong thugs.

Seeing Zhao Liuzhi and others, Lin Yuru, who was wearing an apron, was full of fear. She glanced at Zhao Liuzhi cautiously and asked:

"Boss Zhao, what are you doing here today?"

Hearing this, Zhao Liuzhi's eyes fell on Lin Yuru, looked him up and down, and said directly:

"We came today, not for anything else, but to collect debts."

"Your Chen Ping beat my younger brother last night, and we spent a total of [-] yuan on hospital visits."

"Including the 25 that Chen Mingliang owed before, your family now owes me a total of 27!"

After Zhao Liuzhi finished speaking, Lin Yuru's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly retorted and asked:

"Obviously what I owed was 15 before, how could it become 25 in the blink of an eye?"

Zhao Liuzhi sneered and replied lightly:

"Fifteen was a year ago, and it's 25 after adding interest."

"It still depends on the face of Chen Mingliang as my brother. If it is someone else, it will be more than this."

At this time, many villagers who watched the excitement came to the courtyard of Chen Ping's house. Hearing what Zhao Liuzhi said, they couldn't help talking in a low voice:

"Zhao Liuzhi's heart is too dark. No matter how profitable the 15 gambling debt is, it will be less than 25 a year!"

"Who says it's not? He specializes in lending usury to gamblers in casinos. As long as this kind of person is jealous of losing, he will dare to borrow no matter how high the interest is."

"Then can't you renege on it?"

"Repudiation? I heard that someone refused to pay back, and he brought his thugs to chop off both of the person's hands. Who would dare not pay back?"

The villagers in the courtyard looked at Zhao Liuzhi with disdain and fear.

Hearing the discussion of the people behind him, Zhao Liuzhi turned around and looked at them coldly and shouted:

"Who dares to chew tongue behind my back again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Hearing this, everyone dared not say anything more.

At this time, he looked at Lin Yuru again and asked:

"Tell me, how do you plan to pay back the 27 yuan?"

Lin Yuru's face was pale. In the past two years, Chen Mingliang had sold all the valuables at home. In the current situation, she couldn't even get out 27 yuan, not to mention [-] yuan.

She carefully looked at Zhao Liuzhi and begged:

"The family is really out of money, can you give me some more time, and when I sell the vegetables, I will find a way to pay back the money."

Zhao Liuzhi smiled disdainfully:

"Just relying on those rotten vegetables in your vegetable field? Can you pay back one-tenth of the money you owe me?"

Lin Yuru bit her lips lightly. She also knew that the vegetables in the vegetable field could not be sold for much, but she really had no other sources of income.

At this time, Zhao Liuzhi glanced greedily up and down Lin Yuru and said:

"I have a way to make you pay off the debt within half a year."

"I heard that Chen Mingliang sent you to a massage shop to make money two days ago?"

"Don't worry, the place I'm taking you to is much more advanced than the massage parlor. The customers are not only qualified but also generous."

"With your body, you only need to chop your thighs, and you can earn at least two or three thousand a time. This is much faster than farming and selling vegetables."

Speaking of this, Zhao Liuzhi's face was full of obscene smiles, he touched his chin and said with a laugh:

"At that time, my brother and I will definitely take care of your business together. In this way, you can earn money and pay off your debts. Isn't it a good thing?"

Facing Zhao Liuzhi Chi Guoguo's eyes, Lin Yuru's face was full of disgust.

She finally left the massage shop, and it is absolutely impossible to go back. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and replied firmly:

"I'm not going."

Hearing this, Zhao Liuzhi's face suddenly turned cold:

"It's not up to you!"

"Killing to pay for one's life, and debts to pay back money, has been the law of heaven since ancient times!"

"Take her away!"

Hearing the order, Zhao Liuzhi's two thugs behind him immediately leaned towards Lin Yuru.

Seeing this, Lin Yuru panicked and looked to the villagers in the yard for help.

Zhao Liuzhi noticed her eyes, snorted coldly, looked at everyone and threatened:

"Who dares to stop it!"

Many villagers bowed their heads. They were not related to Lin Yuru, so who would dare to deal with bullies like Zhao Liuzhi?

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuru's face was full of despair.

"Go!"

Following Zhao Liuzhi's order, the two thugs immediately arrested Lin Yuru.
