The Shackles of Morality
Chapter 891 The Shackles of Morality
I have to admit that what Wang An said was a bit unreasonable. To be precise, he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune or taking advantage of the situation.
Because Wang An's behavior at this time is actually not fundamentally different from those of loan sharks.
However, given Li Xiuyu's current situation, Wang An could not think of any better way out for her.
In this era, a 17 or 18-year-old girl, with no home to return to and being targeted by a group of usurers, was very lucky to escape with the help of the villagers this time. What about next time? What about the next time?
Let a group of farmers who make a living by farming compete with a group of idle people who lend money at high interest rates? Who can afford it?
This is simply an unsolvable problem.
You have to know that Wang An has dealt with that group of loan sharks before. He has to admit that they really have money and people. The most important thing is that they can play the game very well no matter whether it is black or white.
In other words, if you don’t have extremely strong strength, the loan sharking industry cannot be sustained.
They dare to go to the village to rob people in broad daylight, which proves that they are not afraid of this at all. Even if Brother Hat goes there, he can't do anything to them.
What's wrong with asking for debts?
Do you say that they are using excessive means? Do you say that they are violent? Or do you say that they are immoral?
Don't talk nonsense, this is what they do and they make a living from it. Who asked you to borrow money from them?
After Wang An finished speaking, Li Xiuyu immediately looked at Wang An with shining eyes and said:
"Brother, is this true? As long as I marry Wang Li, can you help me deal with all these things?"
When Wang An saw Li Xiu Yu being so excited, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The main thing is that Li Xiuyu doesn't like Wang Li, so how could she agree so quickly?
According to common sense, shouldn't Li Xiu Yu be reserved, or should she agree reluctantly because of the situation?
Subconsciously, Wang An asked Li Xiuyu:
"Well, didn't you say last time that you were young and wanted to wait two years before thinking about finding a partner?"
In fact, what Wang An asked was about the things he did when he first wanted to introduce the two people to each other.
At that time, Li Xiuyu’s answer was that she was young and didn’t want to find a partner in the next two years.
But after that, Li Xiuyu agreed to the blind date, but the condition was that she wanted a dowry of 500 yuan if the blind date was successful.
Then, Li Xiuyu's father raised the bride price to 600 yuan, and at the same time, it was reported that a loan shark had taken a fancy to Li Xiuyu.
Then, the matter fell through.
Hearing Wang An's question, Li Xiuyu said sincerely without lying:
"I knew at that time that Wang Li's face was full of scars that had not healed yet, so I... I didn't agree. Actually, when I was in school, I had a good impression of Wang Li. Although he didn't have any outstanding qualities, I thought he was still quite tall."
It can be heard that Li Xiuyu does not have that kind of heart-beating feeling towards Wang Li, but fortunately she does not hate Wang Li either. Simply put, they are just ordinary classmates.
It has to be said that when boys are students, if they want girls to like them, they must have some outstanding qualities, and at the very least, they must have a more lively personality.
It is really hard for people to like Wang Li because of his taciturn personality.
Wang An smacked his lips and continued to ask:
"Before you went to school, was there anyone you had a good impression of? The kind of person you felt like you could be a couple with."
The reason why Wang An asked so directly was because Wang An did not know Li Xiu Yu, and even before this, Wang An did not know her.
If Wang Li and Li Xiuyu got married, but Li Xiuyu was thinking about someone else, then this would be a bit of a mess. Although most women in this era would be loyal to their marriages after getting married, Wang An, who was very suspicious, would never use this to test human nature.
After hearing this, Li Xiuyu's face, which was originally covered with tear marks, suddenly became shy. Wang An knew at a glance that she obviously had someone she liked.
Because there is an old saying that goes, "You can't hide your love for someone."
Li Xiuyu only said:
"No, I was still a little kid before I started school. How could I know these things?"
Wang An smiled slightly, but did not expose Li Xiuyu. Instead, he changed the subject and said:
"You have nowhere to go anyway, why don't you go to Wang Li's house first? After I finish dealing with your family's affairs, you can get married right away."
When Li Xiuyu heard this, she said awkwardly:
"We are only 17 years old, and we are getting married already?"
You know what, getting engaged at 17 is normal, but getting married is a bit too early.
Wang An thought about it and said to Li Xiuyu:
"Okay, then you can stay at Lao Wu's house first. When things are settled, you can get engaged first and wait two years before getting married."
Li Xiu Yu thought about it and finally nodded helplessly.
The main reason is that in this era, if the news gets out that a woman lives in a man's house before getting married, it would be a bit embarrassing.
The key is that people only talk about the woman and won't condemn the man.
Li Xiu Yu was not stupid, so she naturally knew that Wang An did it on purpose.
Because only in this way can Li Xiuyu be put in moral shackles, and at the same time, it also lets everyone know that Li Xiuyu has a husband's family, so the rest of the people should stop worrying about her.
From this we can see how fucking bad Wang An is. He is so fucking bad and full of evil intentions.
But this is how the world is. When you want to get something, you have to pay for it. Pie in the sky will not fall for free.
Even if pie really does fall from the sky, you have to believe that it will not fall on your head for no reason.
Seeing Li Xiuyu nod, Wang An started the sidecar again and continued walking towards Kaoshantun.
A few minutes later, Wang An parked the sidecar in front of the gate of Wang Li's house.
At this time, Wang Li's house has been basically completed. Now Wang Daliang and his group are leading a group of people to decorate the house, while Er Niang Yao Ping and several other female comrades are cooking dinner.
Hearing the distinctive fart-like sound from the sidecar, Wang Daliang, Yao Ping, Wang Li and the helpers all turned their eyes towards the gate.
Ignoring everyone's puzzled looks, Wang An shouted to Yao Ping:
"Second Mother, please come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
After Wang An finished shouting, he continued to turn the accelerator and let the sidecar go for another ten meters before stopping in a place where there were people.
