Qi Taiguo accompanied Chen Shouwang to repay the debt, fearing that he would encounter difficulties and arbitrary price hikes.
Sure enough, when they handed over one hundred seventy yuan, the usurer said, "Yesterday it was one hundred seventy yuan, but today the interest has gone up, now it's one hundred ninety."
Chen Shouwang's complexion immediately turned ashen.
Qi Taiguo looked coldly at the puny Brother Niu and said, "Interest has surged so much in just one day? Who do you take us for, fools? One hundred seventy yuan, take it or leave it."
"Commander Qi, we're all trying to run a business here, and of course, we need to settle accounts properly. Who says a soldier who borrows money doesn't need to repay it? Which law states that?" Brother Niu said coolly.
