Shi Yuan was particularly unlucky today. If he got a little bit of luck, he would either be touched, eaten, or fired.
Not long after, another card ended, and Shi Yuanqi pushed the mahjong.
"No more fight, no more fight!"
It was just three o'clock in the afternoon. The other three poker players looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, a slightly fat middle-aged man spoke up.
"Fight for another hour."
Shi Yuan spread his hands: "No fight, Brother Wang, I'm so unlucky today. I've lost more than two thousand, and I have no bullets in my pocket."
As soon as these words came out, the people at the table were speechless.
Shi Yuan was right. He did memorize the cards today. He had only played four rounds and had lost more than 2,000 yuan.
The chess and card room is located in the alley, and the people who patronize it are the surrounding neighbors. They all know more or less about the situation in Shi Yuan's family.
"Then let's make an appointment next time."
The middle-aged man nodded helplessly, then picked up the phone on the table.
"Lao Zhou, Lao Huang, I'll call and ask someone to take a look."
"Then I'll withdraw first."
Shi Yuan cupped his hands and left the mahjong parlor dejectedly.
Looking up at the sky, he felt a trace of regret in his heart.
A little bit over the top!
More than two thousand is not a small amount of money for him.
After all, he still carries a loan of more than one million yuan. Although he does not need to pay it off in one lump sum after negotiation, he still has to pay back more than one thousand yuan every week.
In addition, his mother suffers from severe kidney disease and has reached the point where she needs dialysis, which must be done once a week.
In addition, his mother also needs to take medicine.
Although the cost of each item alone is not too high, when added together, the burden on Shiyuan is not low.
Shi Yuan always had money. He lost more than 2,000 yuan in a poker game today, leaving him with a gap of 1,000 yuan.
Where can I get this thousand yuan?
Borrow from a friend?
Shi Yuan thought for a moment and sighed silently. No one was willing to lend him money now. He was afraid of being robbed.
When friends saw his call, they either pretended not to notice and refused to answer it, or they started complaining about their poverty, fearing that he was calling to borrow money.
Looking for a bank?
That's even more impossible. His credit report has been ruined a long time ago. Now he can't even get a credit card. How can any bank lend him money?
Suddenly, Shi Yuan remembered the online loans that have become popular in recent years.
It is said that some small companies do not check credit for loans, and even unscrupulous people like him can borrow money from the APP.
How about giving it a try?
A penny stumps a heroic man. If he hadn't been forced into a hurry, Shi Yuan wouldn't have thought of borrowing money from the Internet.
An hour later, looking at the rows of 'financial' software on the phone screen, a different look appeared in Shi Yuan's eyes.
I really borrowed money!
And not just once!
Since he was put on the credit blacklist, Shi Yuan has been directly blacklisted by major banks, and all his previous credit cards have been deactivated.
Internet finance seems to have a head start?
Shi Yuan has just tried many APPs, some of which he can borrow, and some of which he cannot borrow. The ones he can borrow are all those with high interest rates and high interest rates.
Head interest, high interest, these sources are all very familiar.
It's not like he has never borrowed money from loan sharks.
Anyway, he has nothing now, no car, no house, no shoes on his bare feet.
He is not afraid of collection, he is only afraid of not being able to borrow money.
'Borrow some!'
'Just a little!'
At this time, an idea suddenly appeared in Shi Yuan's mind, and as time passed, this idea spread like wild weeds in his heart.
As night fell, Shi Yuan silently put away his cell phone.
Compared to that time in the afternoon, his wallet had an extra balance of over 100,000 yuan.
This money is the 'reward' for his hard work all afternoon!
That's right, Shi Yuan didn't even think about paying back the money.
I borrowed it based on my ability!
Why pay it back?
Anyway, he is destined to die and is not afraid of those who collect money.
This is a magic city, violent collection?
One phone call and the police will be at your door in minutes.
As for bombarding with phone calls?
Shi Yuan was not afraid. It was not like he had never experienced this situation before.
Let those fight, and if he pays back even a dime, he loses!
With these more than 100,000 yuan, the huge rock weighing on his heart could finally fall safely for a while.
Over the years, he has lived a very tiring life, either working or on the way to work.
Others are 996, he is 007.
Leisure time like today only comes once or twice a month at most.
"Come back?"
When he returned home, as soon as he opened the door, his mother's words reached Shi Yuan's ears.
"Um."
Shi Yuan nodded silently. He was still a little afraid of his mother. Since he was a child, his hands were almost always controlled by his mother.
"Are you going to play mahjong again?"
Smelling the vague smell of cigarette smoke on her son's body, Shi Yuan's mother frowned and said with an unhappy expression.
"Just played for a while."
"How many times have I told you?"
Shi Yuan's mother said with a straight face, "Don't go play cards. Who are the people hanging around in the chess and card room?"
"Stop dealing with those people!"
Shi Yuan's mother didn't let Shi Yuan go to the chess and card room, not because she hated her son playing cards, but because she didn't want her son to go to a place like the chess and card room.
Their ancestors came from a scholarly and wealthy family, how could they go to a place like that?
"It's so rare to rest."
Shi Yuan had a flattering smile on his face and changed the topic.
"Mom, have you taken your medicine?"
"I'm free next Tuesday, how about I accompany you to the hospital?"
"have eaten."
Shi Yuan's mother shook her head and said, "You don't need to go. Just let your dad accompany you then. You can rest more when you have time."
How could she not know how much pressure her son was under? As a mother, how could she not know?
Because of his illness, his family's savings were almost wiped out.
The money spent on dialysis can only be considered a small amount of money; the real money spent is kidney transplantation.
The cost of the kidney transplant surgery alone is 30,000 to 400,000 yuan, and you have to take rejection medicine for a long time after the operation. Even if the rejection reaction is not serious, the medicine will cost more than 100,000 yuan a year.
Sometimes, Shi Yuan's mother even wanted to die.
If she died, life at home would probably get better and not be as difficult as it is now. The son would be less tired and the husband would be more relaxed.
But she still had a lot of regrets in her heart.
My son is almost forty years old and is not even married yet.
Shi Yuan is the only one in their family. If Shi Yuan stays single all her life, not only will the Shi family be cut off, but her mother's family, the Hua family, will also be cut off.
Without seeing his son get married and have children, Hua Yongyu would not rest in peace even if he died.
'well.'
'I don't know when Sister Huang will return to China.'
Sister Huang, whom Hua Yongyu misses dearly, is a family friend of theirs, and they are of the same family. Many years ago, the two elders made a marriage contract.
Even after many years, Hua Yongyu still has not forgotten it.
