Everyone basically knows what the pawnshop does. Although he can't hear what's going on inside the pawnshop at the moment, Huo Chengyi thinks about it and guesses.

Staring at the pawnshop's increasingly popular, pitiful and pleading appearance, he was a little worried, patted the champion's head, and immediately led the dog into it.

"Brother Huo is here again, what good things did you bring today?"

The sharp-eyed shopkeeper of the pawn shop saw him coming in at a glance, and immediately greeted him with joy.

The original owner was a regular customer of this pawnshop before, and he brought any valuables in his hand to the pawnshop. Huo Daniu is an ignorant man, but he made the pawnshop a lot of money. How could the shopkeeper be unhappy when he saw him? Fat Sheep came again yo!

"Huo, Huo Daniu..." Hearing the shopkeeper's voice, Zhou Weibai also turned around with a surprised expression, apparently he did not expect to meet him here.

The voice was small and soft, with a nasal tone of grievance that was about to cry. Huo Chengyi's heart was very soft when he heard it. He had never been so wronged and pitiful when the boy fought with him before and was beaten up. I don't know what happened to him now. thing.

He nodded to Zhou Weibai as if comforting, then looked at the shopkeeper, and went straight up to knock on the window of the counter.

"Old Zhang, what is this all about? Why are my little brother's eyes so red? Are you bullying someone who doesn't know how to do it, and cheating him again?"

"Bah, bah, what are you talking about, Huo Daniu, Lao Zhang, I have always been innocent as a shopkeeper, and when I cheat someone, don't smash my signboard!"

Upon hearing Huo Chengyi's words, the shopkeeper's eyes widened, and he immediately explained without daring to delay.

If it was someone else's shopkeeper, he wouldn't talk nonsense, but now the target is Huo Daniu, who is known as a difficult person in the village and town. A few days ago, Fatty Jiang, a gambling shop, went to Huangxi Village to find trouble and was carried out by someone. heard.

This person even dared to touch Fatty Jiang in the gambling shop. He dared to neglect a small shopkeeper, so he had to be careful!

"This little brother pawned something before, and the bill has expired. Now he wants to redeem it. According to the regulations, he needs to add silver, a total of 12 taels, but he only has ten taels of silver, and there is a difference of two taels. This can't be accommodated..."

The shopkeeper was in a dilemma, with a helpless expression on his face.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Zhou Weibai's eyes turned even redder. He also knew that what the shopkeeper said was right, but he only had so much.

This is what he and his mother managed to save, and this time they helped Huo Chengyi run to sell orchids to get together. He really can't get the extra taels now, otherwise his father would have no money to buy the medicine.

Thinking of this, he looked at the money in his hand, and begged again, "Shopkeeper, I will go back to collect the money, but can you give me some time, don't sell the things before I come back to redeem..."

"My little brother, our pawn shop has its own rules. I'm the shopkeeper. I can't promise you how long the things will be kept. You should hurry up..."

There is so much money in two taels, who knows how long this country boy will have to raise, and the interest on pawns will be added day by day, and there will be more money by then.

The shopkeeper didn't have any hope that he could redeem the item. He had already found a buyer for the item, but he didn't say anything, and gave an ambiguous answer.

Zhou Weibai is not a fool, how could he not understand the meaning of the words, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Huo Chengyi glanced at the shopkeeper who was full of talk and eyes, and knew that there must be something tricky inside.

He cast a comforting look at the anxious young man before continuing, "Don't worry, tell me how long has your bill been overdue?"

He wanted to take a look at the writing in the young man's hand, but he didn't know the writing here, he couldn't understand it at all, so he could only ask.

The interest alone is two taels. He remembered that the Zhou family was not poor. What did they pawn?How long is it overdue?When it was redeemed, it cost 12 taels.

Don't say that Zhou Weibai is the target of such an obviously tricky thing, even the villagers and friends you know in general will help.

But it’s not a foolish way to give money directly. Pawnshops are not a good place. If you say two taels, you can only give them two taels. It can only deceive innocent young people like Zhou Weibai who don’t know how to do it.

Just when the young man was in a hurry and had no idea what to do, when he made a sound, he was like a backbone, reassuring and finding a life-saving straw.

"One day, just one day."

Zhou Weibai's eyes were red, and he didn't know that the interest of pawn shops was so high, and it was two taels of silver for one day overdue.

Huo Chengyi's eyes also widened after hearing this, and then he looked at the shopkeeper with unkind eyes, one day overdue would cost two taels of silver, which is not how usury counts.

The shopkeeper's face met his eyes and his face froze for a moment, secretly said badly, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

"What he pawned was a top-quality jade pendant, and the price we gave at the beginning was quite a lot. There are no rules, and the bill counts when it is brought to the yamen. Huo Daniu, everything...you have to be reasonable, right?"

The shopkeeper Lao Zhang looked a little nervous, afraid that the bastard in front of him would insist on meddling.

But he wasn't talking nonsense, anyway, there was no overdue interest written on the bill, it was more or less in accordance with their rules, even if they went to the yamen, they would justify it, Huo Daniu couldn't mess with the yamen no matter how much he messed up .

But it just so happened that Huo Chengyi was an old fritter, this kind of threat didn't work for him at all, he directly pulled the scar on his face, showing a domineering manner, and sneered.

"Okay, old Zhang, use the people from the yamen to suppress me? With the profit of two taels of silver a day, your pawn shop has more rules than gambling houses? The business is so dishonest, old Zhang, I think you will not be able to do business in the future. Let's go..."

Zhou Weibai is just a decent boy, he has never been in contact with pawnshops and gambling houses, so he naturally doesn't know the inside story.

But he understands, with the memory of the original owner, he knows the market here clearly, even if he doesn't, the two taels of interest in this day is too much, the usury in the gambling shop is not so fierce, this old Zhang of the pawn shop is obviously cheating people!

"Wow woof woof!", the champion who had been obediently being a big dog also yelled ferociously at the pawnshop Lao Zhang very cooperatively.

It stays with Huo Chengyi all year round on missions, and has been fed a spiritual spring. Its IQ is comparable to that of a human being. The two 'difficult brothers and sisters' absolutely have a tacit understanding in doing things.

Hearing the master's tone, he knew it was when they showed their power. The grinning appearance and his half-human height really shocked the shopkeeper Lao Zhang.

"Huo, Huo Daniu, what do you want to do, this is in the town..."

The shopkeeper, old Zhang, had a blank face, seeing that the champion who was barking at him was so big that he hadn’t tied the rope yet, and if he was not good, he would rush at him, with cold sweat on his forehead, how could this dog be a dog? Scary as a wolf!

The shopkeeper Lao Zhang was frightened to death by the champion's ferocious yells, Huo Chengyi didn't rush to stop him, and waited until his champion's prestige was enough, then took the silver from the young man's hand and put it on the table, and continued to talk to the shopkeeper.

"Old Zhang, I'm sorry, my champion has a bad temper, and he gets agitated when he gets angry, so you should be more tolerant. The rules in the industry, you just bully those who don't understand, let's not talk nonsense, little brother and I'm from a village, you can decide whether to redeem it or not, if you want to learn from Fatty Jiang, I don't care..."

Huo Chengyi knocked on the table twice, frowning with a typical bully threat.

Negotiating with the shopkeeper of the pawnshop has to use this attitude, otherwise, this is a group of bullying guys. In theory, this matter is originally the shopkeeper's dishonesty and trying to deceive laymen, he is not afraid.

But the shopkeeper has to worry about him being a scoundrel who makes trouble and smashes the signboard. It's not that the original owner has never done such things like playing bully and scoundrel before, and the matter of Fatty Jiang. I think these people in the town must have heard of it. .

Unsurprisingly, Lao Zhang's previous good looks were all gone, and his expression was ugly. A good deal was ruined, and he even made a clear threat, so it's no wonder he was happy!

But looking at the fierce look of this guy in front of him, plus there is a vicious dog staring at him, Lao Zhang finally thought about it, and chose to admit it because he knew the current affairs.

"Okay, okay, I met you today! Bring me the paper..."

The shopkeeper, Old Zhang, had a gloomy face, so bad that he even changed his name.

Huo Chengyi ignored his face, and just stood there stupidly, watching him slap and go, and easily resolved the matter that he had been begging for a long time, and the boy with a blank expression took the receipts and money and handed them to the shopkeeper , in exchange for a jade pendant.

"Why are you shocked, the item has been redeemed, take it."

Putting the jade pendant into the young man's hand, Huo Chengyi was amused by the silly expression, stretched out his hand out of nowhere and squeezed his face, and ate a piece of tofu.

After pinching, he didn't feel that he was taking advantage of others, and he was still thinking about how nice his face was.

Zhou Weibai foolishly held the jade pendant and stood there without reacting at all.

Lao Zhang, the shopkeeper next to him, looked at his cheeky appearance, and suddenly realized: He just said that Huo Daniu suddenly meddled in his own business today.
