An hour later, I stood at the gate of the community in the early morning, looking at the familiar buildings, and memories came to my mind. Except that they were a little shabby, nothing had changed much, and they looked so friendly!
After a long time, I gathered my mood in the early morning, shook my head, and arrived home soon. What was I standing here thinking about? Thinking of this, I walked quickly towards the community according to my memory.
As he went upstairs, he became more and more excited and his heart beat faster. This situation was rare for him. When he stopped and looked at the iron door of the east door on the third floor, his mood suddenly calmed down.
,Got home!
"Mom, Dad, little sister, I'm back." I muttered to myself in the early hours of the morning. I wonder how they would react? Maybe they don't recognize me, right? Thinking of several possibilities, the corners of my mouth formed a charming arc, and I raised my hand to knock.
Knock on the door.
A minute passed. Xiao Chen frowned slightly and put his ear against the iron door to listen. There was no movement inside. He must have been away from home, so he could only stand outside and wait.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sound of footsteps, and I was shocked in the early morning. Could it be that my parents were back?
Soon, an aunt came up from below. To Ling Chen's dismay, she was not his mother. After a closer look, she smiled. Isn't this Aunt Liu from across the door?
Aunt Liu saw the early morning and sighed: "Young man, are you here to collect debts too? Don't wait, Lao Ling and his family are not at home."
I was stunned for a moment in the early morning. Are you here to collect debts? Do you think your family owes a lot of foreign debts?
Aunt Liu saw that she was silent in the early hours of the morning and shook her head: "Lao Ling won't be back for a week, so please give her some grace." Then she opened the door and went home.
"Hey, wait a minute, Auntie." Early in the morning, he called Auntie Liu in a hurry: "What did you mean by what you just said?"
Aunt Liu stopped and looked at Qingchen again. She felt something familiar: "Aren't you here to collect debts from Lao Ling's family?"
Chen Chen shook his head quickly: "No, aunt, what happened to his family?"
"Oh, it's hard to put it into words! By the way, who are you?"
"I...I'm a distant relative of the old Ling family. I just came to Yunhai and I'm thinking of joining him." Out of some thoughts, he didn't say his identity in the early hours of the morning, but said nonsense.
Aunt Liu did not doubt that he was there and nodded: "It turns out we are relatives. Come in and have a seat, young man." After saying that, she opened the door.
"Thank you, aunt." Chenchen nodded politely, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and walked in quickly.
Aunt Liu poured a glass of water for Chen Chen, then sat across from her and started talking: "A year ago, Lao Chu got sick..."
The Lao Chu in Aunt Liu's mouth was Ling Chen's mother. Although he was anxious when he heard that his mother was ill, he did not dare to interrupt Aunt Liu and could only listen patiently.
It took about half an hour and early in the morning to finally understand the whole story. My mother fell ill a year ago, spent all the family’s savings, and owed a lot of foreign debt. In addition, the company’s performance was not good, and my father was laid off, which made it even more difficult.
The family is in trouble.
At that time, my younger sister wanted to drop out of school and work to support the family, but my father refused. He ran a small business, but lost money, and ended up borrowing a loan shark for some unknown reason. As a result, the interest compounded, and he simply couldn't afford to pay it back.
Nowadays, people come to ask for debts every day, including relatives and loan sharks, making life very difficult for the family.
Three days ago, my little sister participated in an event and was awarded a seven-day landscape tour for the whole family, which did not cost the family a penny.
At that time, the younger sister was planning to sell it to get some money, but the activity was not allowed. She had no choice but to come back and persuade her parents to go out for a walk. Otherwise, it would not be good for her mother's condition to face these debt collectors at home all day long.
.
"Lao Ling and the others left at around four o'clock yesterday afternoon." Aunt Liu added one more sentence when she saw Chen Chen's frown.
Ling Chen nodded, but he was a little annoyed with himself. If the hero hadn't delayed another day to save Mei on the road, he wouldn't have missed his parents and little sister!
Fortunately, they came back a week later, and Aunt Liu said that my mother's illness was almost healed, so she wasn't too anxious.
As for foreign debts, Ling Chen doesn't care. Are he short of money now? The family's biggest financial problem is really nothing in his eyes. However, he smelled a bit of conspiracy from Aunt Liu's words!
"It's natural to pay back debts, but if there is really a conspiracy, huh, I will break off your thighs and stuff them into your anuses!" Murderous intent flashed in Ling Chen's eyes. Now that he is back, he will let his parents take care of him.
Sister, live a good and happy life!
We haven’t seen each other for thirteen years, but the family ties that are thicker than water have not faded at all, or even become stronger. Family members are the backbone of the morning, and whoever dares to touch them will have to accept his anger and punishment!
"Young man, if you want to find Lao Ling, just come back in a week. But now that their family is like this, they probably can't help you! Last time I heard the loan shark said that if he doesn't pay back the money, Lao Ling will be killed
His daughter was sent to an entertainment venue, and then his house was taken away."
A monstrous murderous aura filled the air. Chen Qian's face was cold, his fists made crunching sounds, and even the chair under his butt made a slight cracking sound.
Aunt Liu was startled. It was such a hot day. Why did the indoor temperature seem to have dropped a lot? Then she noticed the expression on Qing Chen's face and couldn't help but shuddered: "Young man, what's wrong with you?"
After hearing Aunt Liu's words in the early morning, her murderous aura slowly dissipated, her clenched fists loosened, and she shook her head: "I'm fine, Auntie."
The cold feeling disappeared, and Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay." After saying that, she looked at the time: "Young man, don't leave at night. Let's eat at Auntie's place."
"No, I have something else to do tonight, so I won't bother Auntie." She stood up in the early hours of the morning.
"Don't be so polite. You are a relative of Lao Ling. When you come here, it will be like your own home." She made a good impression on Aunt Liu in the early hours of the morning and wanted to keep him until she finished the meal.
She smiled in the morning and shook her head: "Auntie, I really have something to do tonight. I'll come visit you another day."
I thought about it in the early morning and took out another business card: "Aunt, this is my business card. If there are loan sharks again asking for debts, please give this business card to them and ask them to call me. Lao Ling's family
I’ll pay back the money!”
Aunt Liu was stunned when she heard Chen Chen's words. He was going to pay back the money from Lao Ling's family? Relatives belong to relatives. Such a huge amount of money! Moreover, looking at Chen Chen's dress, he didn't look like a very rich owner.
More like a college student.
"You, are you here to pay me back?" Aunt Liu asked stutteringly.
Wen Chen nodded, it was only right that his father's debt should be repaid by his son, but he didn't plan to tell Aunt Liu now that he was Wen Chen who had been away from home for thirteen years!
Aunt Liu was just about to ask a few more questions when she heard a banging on the door from outside, and then a noisy voice sounded: "You're not running away to avoid debts, are you?"
"Mom, his family can run away, but the monks can't run away from the temple. Anyway, this place is about to be demolished. I'll sell the house before it can be renovated!" Another male voice sounded.
"Oh, it's Lao Ling's eldest sister who comes to collect debts again." Aunt Liu sighed and said to Chen Chen.
My eyelids twitched in the early morning, my aunt? Then a surge of anger surged up, my family is like this, are they like this? Relatives, haha, are these relatives?
"Auntie, does Lao Ling's family also owe you money?" He thought of something in the early morning and asked hurriedly.
Aunt Liu hesitated and nodded: "Well, I borrowed 15,000 before and paid back 10,000. I still have 5,000 left, but I'm not in a hurry. They all belong to my neighbors."
Without saying a word in the early hours of the morning, he took out his wallet and took out all the cash in it: "Auntie, there are five thousand yuan here, please count it."
"What are you..."
"I told you, I'll pay back the money from Lao Ling's family." In the early hours of the morning, he handed the money to Aunt Liu and put away the empty wallet.
"I'm not in a hurry to use money, why don't you give this money to Sister Lao Ling first?" Aunt Liu said with a frown as she listened to the scolding outside.
them?
Ling Chen sneered again and again: "Auntie, I will give it to them. You put the money and business cards away. I'll leave first." After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
When I went out in the early morning, I saw two people standing at the door of my house. It was my aunt Ling Huixiang and my cousin Su Xin. They were cursing and talking, and banged on the door from time to time.
"Stop smashing it!" Ling Chen's tone was very cold. If it weren't for the sake of blood relationship, he would have thrown them out by the neck!
Ling Huixiang and Su Xin turned their heads and looked at Chen Chen coming out of the opposite door: "Who are you?"
Chen Chen sneered in his heart, they really didn't remember him, but this was just right: "I am Chu Xiu's distant nephew, how much does their family owe you?"
"You are also here to collect a debt? His family owes us 10,000 yuan, how much does he owe you?" Ling Huixiang asked without doubting that he was there.
"Ten thousand yuan?" Chen Ling felt even colder. Ten thousand yuan can buy out family ties! He suppressed his anger and said slowly: "I owe his family money. If you want to borrow money, come back in a week.
Then I will return the money to my Aunt Chu and ask her to give it to you again."
Su Xin's eyes lit up with dyed yellow hair: "How much money do you owe their family? Why don't you just give the money to me directly!"
I glanced at Su Xin coldly in the early morning. I had played with him many times when I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be like this now: "This is none of your business. If you want money, come over in a week." After saying that, he was too lazy to talk to them anymore.
, turned around and went downstairs.
Aunt Liu saw through the peephole that Wei Ling was gone, and felt relieved. She was worried that there would be some conflict between the young man and Lao Ling's eldest sister. When she returned to the table, she picked up the business card and was stunned. It was such a weird business card!
There is a black domino engraved on the business card, next to it are two black and gold totem fonts, neither traditional nor simple, I don't know what the word is; in the middle, there is the word "Death" written, and below it is a series of contact numbers.
"Why haven't I heard that there is such a distant relative in Lao Ling's family?" Aunt Liu muttered: "The God of Death? How could someone be called such a name?"
When I left the community in the early morning, I let out a sigh of relief. My parents and little sister would not come back until a week later. I would first find a hotel to stay in.
Ling Chen's mentality is good. He has survived thirteen years and is not far behind in just a few days. As for foreign debts, haha, he is now afraid that those loan sharks will not come to him!
All the money in the wallet was given to Aunt Liu, and he decided to go to a nearby bank to withdraw some money in the early morning. As soon as he took a few steps, he realized something was wrong and he was being followed!
