It was almost eleven o’clock now, and the aroma of food was wafting through the alley. 

Many people were cooking lunch, and some had already sat in the shade of the alley holding rice bowls, eating and chatting. 

Seeing the sudden appearance of the destitute mother and children, all of them looked up in surprise. Did they just escape from a famine?  

“Is there a flood somewhere? There’s no news about it ah!” 

“What era is it now? How come there are still such poor families? They must be extremely poor, right?” 

“You are just seeing the sky from the bottom of a well*, our Lucheng is a city that has good living conditions, but there are still many people like this in the countryside. Some mountainous areas can’t even wear decent clothes. I used to go to the mountainous areas to do business. Their conditions were really bad ah, there are seven or eight year old girls, and they still didn’t wear any clothes, it was really unbearable to look at them!” 

*Seeing the sky from the bottom of a well (idiom) : ignorant and narrow minded, has a small vision and little knowledge.  

“Is there still such a thing? It can’t be true, right?” 

“I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be false? We have only lived a few years of good life, but there are still many poor places!” 

  ……

The appearance of Chu Qiao and children caused a lot of discussion among a group of people, and also brought up the high sounding topic of poverty alleviation, no one cared about the three of them. 

Debt dodger Mao’s family lived in an independent courtyard in the alley. The courtyard was not very large, with only three rooms. But in places like Lucheng, having an independent courtyard was considered a wealthy family. 

Chu Qiao was very excited, she must win today’s battle and proved to Gu Ye that she was not a weak dodder flower, and she could also stand on her own. 

“Auntie, Uncle Gu’s voice.” Dabao whispered, his face looked very excited. 

Chu Qiao also heard it and gestured for the two children to keep quiet. They soon arrived at the door of Debt dodger Mao’s house, surrounded by a scattered group of people, all of them were neighbors. 

However, everyone wasn’t too interested in it anymore. Gu Ye had been coming to the door for almost every day these days, and the drama was pretty much the same, they were all tired of seeing it. 

“Old Mao, you live in a single house, but you tell me that you don’t have money? Even a three year old child wouldn’t believe that. Hurry up and pay back the money!” Gu Ye had a fiery temper. 

After talking patiently with Old man Mao for more than an hour, his patience had already run out. Now his mouth was dry, and he was furious. 

“Cough cough…… I really don’t have money, this house is rented…… cough cough…… If I really have money, I will definitely repay it…… I’m just an old man with a few days to live, and I also don’t want to take a body of debt to see Lord Yama ah…… cough cough……” 

*Lord Yama : King of Hell. 

His voice was hoarse and spiritless, making people worry that the old man might die at any moment. 

It sounded strange, but this was the cleverness of old man Mao. 

He could make people sympathize and pity him, even though everyone knew that it was wrong for him to owe money, they still couldn’t help but pity him. 

“You have been in debt for eight years, Mao Xianliang. Are you still a human being? If you don’t repay the debt of 380,000 yuan, the employees in the factory won’t be able to receive their salaries and they will starve. You still have the nerve to say ‘Lord Yama’? For someone like you, even if you’re dead, you won’t be afraid of being thrown into the hot oil pan!” Gu Ye couldn’t help but mock. 

Just this kind of scumbag also deserved the word ‘virtuous’ (Xianliang*)?

*Debt dodger Mao’s real name 

“Cough cough cough…… I’m not a human being ah, I’m a beast, but I can’t pay it back ah… Young comrade, you can use a knife to cut my flesh and see how much you can sell it for. I only have this old bone, I’m not afraid of death, you can cut my flesh ah……” 

Debt dodger Mao’s performance reached the pinnacle of perfection, he collapsed on the ground, while holding Gu Ye’s thigh with tears streaming down his face.
