"I think Old Jin is just being superfluous," Lian Shouyi broke the silence, "Big brother should also be sending money over soon."
What Lian Shouyi meant was that it was unnecessary for Old Jin to come and press for debts, as Lian Shouren would surely send the money back on time.
No one agreed with Lian Shouyi's words. The last time Lian Shouren had been beaten, he had stayed at home behaving himself for a few days, then went back to the county town. After that departure, there was no news from him.
How the high-interest loan was incurred, Lian Shouren surely hadn't forgotten. As the day to repay the money approaches, had he managed to raise any funds, how much had he raised, and when would he send it back? Even if he was delayed by some matters, he should have asked someone to send a message back home to put everyone's mind at ease.
But there was not a peep from his end.
