Chapter 459 The Bangstalk Incident

When Lee Seung-ri heard his wife talking about the stick joke, he instantly lost interest. With the boy's behavior, something bad would happen to him sooner or later, and Lee Seung-ri had guessed it a long time ago.

"What's wrong with this kid Banggeng? He couldn't have owed a huge foreign debt." Li Shengli said in a very calm tone. Ever since he found out that this kid Banggeng was addicted to gambling, he knew that this would happen sooner or later.

"Huh? How did you know?" Han Qiuyun was very surprised. Li Shengli had not been in Sijiu City for some time, so why did he know that Banggeng owed a huge debt?

"Yeah, Dad, how did you know?" Li Chengzhi was also curious. If Huaihua hadn't come to him to borrow money again, he really wouldn't have known that such a thing had happened to Banggeng.

"Of course I know." Li Shengli snorted proudly, "How did you know? Shazhu and Qin Huairu should not tell others about such embarrassing things."

Li Shengli was somewhat curious as to why the news of Banggeng's gambling debts spread so quickly throughout the streets and alleys, and even people in his own family who had long since moved out of the courtyard house heard the news.

"Oh, I heard this from one of our tenants. One of the tenants saved enough money to buy a house and moved out of the courtyard house. They told us this when they came to cancel the lease."

Han Qiuyun knew that Li Shengli would not say anything if she didn't explain, so she first explained where she got the information.

"Huaihua came to me to borrow money again. I had to ask her the reason, so I found out." Li Chengzhi sounded very simple when he spoke. He didn't expect that Huaihua would come to him to borrow money at this time.

"Oh, it seems that the news has spread all over the streets and alleys. Where is Banggeng? Has he shown up?" Li Shengli was very curious whether Banggeng would be beaten half to death by Shazhu if he was still at home.

Even though Shazhu is not young anymore, he is still more than capable of beating up a kid like Banggeng.

"Why show up? I've already stayed away from you." Han Qiuyun was somewhat disdainful of Banggeng, and he didn't even dare to admit what he had done.

"You haven't told me how you knew that Bang Geng was in gambling debt."

"Well, I knew he was involved in gambling before, and I even told Xiaozhi about this specifically." Li Shengli began to show off his analytical ability at this time.

"Dad, you mentioned this, but you only mentioned that Banggeng participated in gambling, and you didn't say that he was in gambling debts." Li Chengzhi also knew that Banggeng would go gamble from time to time, and even if he owed gambling debts, he didn't expect that he would owe so much.

To be honest, he was also shocked when Huaihua came to him to borrow money. He didn't expect that Banggeng owed so much debt.

"This is not surprising. I just want to know how many hundreds of thousands he owes?" Li Shengli did not even guess at a few thousand or tens of thousands, but directly guessed at a minimum of hundreds of thousands. After all, Banggeng had borrowed more than 400,000 yuan from him when he used his house.

"You guessed it again?" Li Chengzhi was really scared this time. Most people would think that the debt was only tens of thousands of dollars at most when hearing about gambling debts. How come his father was so good at calculating that he guessed how much money Banggeng owed at once?

"What are you guessing? I'll tell you the truth. Just before I left, Teacher Yan came to me with Banggeng to borrow money." Li Shengli seemed very proud. He didn't guess it at all. He just deduced it based on information that others didn't know.

"You lent it to him?" Han Qiuyun couldn't bear it and patted Li Shengli on the shoulder.

"Yes, Dad, didn't you teach me before that I can't lend money to people like them?" Li Chengzhi also felt strange. Li Shengli's approach was different from what he taught him.

"What are you talking about? If he said he was going to gamble, then of course I couldn't lend him the money. He came to me to borrow money on the pretext of buying a house and opening a store, so how could I not lend it to him?" Li Shengli spread his hands to indicate that he didn't know his specific purpose.

"You know the people in that courtyard, especially Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi and that pretentious Yi Zhonghai. Who knows what they will say to you if you don't lend them the money."

Li Shengli deliberately acted embarrassed, and what he said was the truth, especially to Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi.

"Dad, you just lent it to them like that?" Li Chengzhi was speechless. It was such a huge sum of money.

"Of course it's not that simple. I'm not stupid. If I don't ask for anything as collateral, they will definitely default on the debt."

As neighbors for so many years, how could Li Shengli not know who Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were? Qin Huairu might care more about her reputation and would cry in front of him and Han Qiuyun about her difficulties, and then ask him to extend the deadline for them.

What's worse, she would cry directly on the street, and then work with Yi Zhonghai to morally blackmail the people around them to reduce their debts, preferably completely exempt them, or even directly deny it.

"Then what did he use as collateral to give you? It seems that there is nothing valuable in his family." Li Chengzhi thought about it. Since Banggeng's business failed, their family should not have much savings, let alone the previous things.

"How stupid! The place they live in now is the most valuable. I don't want anything else even if you give it to me." Li Shengli's tone was full of contempt. Can you think carefully about what kind of rich things their family can have?

"Did Banggeng take out the house deeds?" Li Chengzhi grew up living in the courtyard house with Li Shengli and Han Qiuyun, so he had a clear understanding of houses.

"Is it Banggeng's name written on their house title? Shouldn't it be He Yuzhu's name?" Li Chengzhi didn't know much about the relationship between Shazhu and Qin Huairu.

"You are wrong. Except for the house where Shazhu and Qin Huairu live now, all other houses should be under Banggeng's name."

Li Shengli pointed out the mistake in Li Chengzhi's words. Even if Sha Zhu didn't agree, Qin Huairu would make him agree.

"A while ago, Banggeng came to me to mortgage the three rooms of his former courtyard house where he lives now." Li Shengli did not expect that Banggeng would lose all his money so quickly.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Just wait. When the repayment date comes, I will take the house back."

No one in this family deserves sympathy. Besides, they are not without a house to live in. If Banggeng still has any shame, he should quit gambling and earn more money to pay off his debts.

"This family is so pitiful." Han Qiuyun said with some reluctance, but she did not let Li Shengli extend the time to repay the debt.

Matters like this are usually decided by Lee Seung-ri himself.

With Li Shengli's slightly sinister smile, the family returned to their home, but the courtyard was shrouded in dark clouds at this time.
