Gu Changshan always refused to tell how he communicated with Huang Xiaoping, and in the end the whole family could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
When going to bed at night, the family slept on the same kang as before, with Wang Gang taking Gu Zhaoxi and Liu Ziqiang, Na Cunhua taking Liang Fengqin, and Gu Changshan in between.
Chen Xingjie slept on the far side, separated by a curtain.
In the middle of the night, Gu Changshan couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and walked to the yard.
The night in the Northeast in midsummer was cool, the sky in the forest farm was clearer, and the stars in the sky made people feel comfortable, but Gu Changshan let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong! Can't sleep?" Cunhua came out wearing a thin coat, and also put one on Gu Changshan.
"Can you give me the 10,000 yuan in your hand first?" Gu Changshan hesitated for a long time and said to the deposit.
Na Cunhua said with a sullen face: "You want to give the money to Huang Xiaoping?"
Gu Changshan sighed quietly and nodded silently.
"Why?" Na Cunhua said angrily: "It's not like you don't know how I saved these ten thousand yuan."
"I know it's not easy for you to save all this money, but Huang Xiaoping has encountered some difficulties and needs money urgently. She also wants to use Xingjie's tuition fees."
Cunhua opened her mouth in shock and said in disbelief: "Is Huang Xiaoping crazy? Do you dare to touch Xingjie's tuition fees?"
Gu Changshan took the hand of Zun Hua and whispered: "Please speak softly and don't wake up the child."
Na Cunhua shook off Gu Changshan's hand and asked, "What's going on? Is Huang Xiaoping coming back this time to pay for Xingjie's tuition?"
Gu Changshan sighed again and said: "Huang Xiaoping owes a lot of money in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and she came back this time to avoid debt."
Na Cunhua frowned and said: "Huang Xiaoping went to Guangshen to work. At most, she didn't make any money. How can she still owe people money? Since they have all fled back to the forest farm, why should Xingjie repay the debt?"
Gu Changshan said: "I asked, it seems that Huang Xiaoping learned how to do business and lost a lot of money. The creditor knew that her hometown was from a forest farm and her son was still a college student. She planned to repay the mother's debt."
Na Cunhua said angrily: "This Huang Xiaoping is making people less worried every day. She left her son alone at first, and now she comes back to bring trouble to Xingjie."
"What do you think Xingjie will do if we don't help him!" Gu Changshan said dejectedly: "No matter what, we can't delay our children from going to college."
Then Cunhua asked: "How much does she owe her?"
"It seems to be thirty thousand yuan." Gu Changshan said.
"Then our little money is not enough!" Na Cunhua worriedly said: "I originally thought of using this money to open a braised food restaurant in the city, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen."
Gu Changshan took his wife's hand and said, "Cunhua, Xingjie is also our child, we cannot ignore this matter."
"I didn't say I don't care." Na Cunhua struggled and said, "But thirty thousand yuan is too much. How long will it take for us to pay it back? Otherwise, we can ask Zhaocheng for some money."
"No." Gu Changshan immediately refused: "We can't let Zhaocheng know about this. He has already paid enough for this family, and we can't drag him down anymore."
Na Cunhua thought for a while and said, "But if we don't ask Zhaocheng, who can come up with this money?"
"I have thought about it. First, I will take out 10,000 yuan to pay off Huang Xiaoping's debt. We will discuss the rest with the creditor and pay it back slowly. One day we will pay it off eventually." Gu Changshan discussed.
Na Cunhua was a little reluctant, always feeling uneasy about having to pay off Huang Xiaoping's debt.
If Chen Xingjie had borrowed the money, they would definitely pay it back. But Huang Xiaoping, looking at her attitude today, I am afraid that helping her pay back the money will not be the best.
Gu Changshan saw that Cunhua didn't speak for a long time, and he knew that she felt uncomfortable.
"Dad, Mom, I don't agree with you paying back the money to Huang Xiaoping." Wang Gang's voice suddenly came from the door.
Gu Changshan and Na Cunhua were startled, and then saw their eldest son walking out of the house.
"Zhaocheng, you haven't slept yet!" Gu Changshan said with twinkling eyes.
Wang Gang said: "Huang Xiaoping repays kindness with revenge. She is really not worth helping. Besides, the money she borrowed should not be attributed to Xingjie, and it has nothing to do with our Gu family."
Gu Changshan was shocked and said: "Zhaocheng, I'm worried that those creditors will cause trouble for Xingjie. He has just been admitted to college and has a bright future. He cannot delay his studies because of such things."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Dad, sometimes you are too kind, but sometimes good intentions can lead to bad things."
Gu Changshan was stunned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this?"
Wang Gang closed the door and asked his parents to sit down first, and then said: "Nowadays, there is no such thing as the saying that the father's debt is repaid by the son, and the mother's debt is repaid by the son.
If someone comes to Huang Xiaoping to ask for a debt, it won't be on Xingjie's behalf."
Gu Changshan said: "But Huang Xiaoping is Xingjie's biological mother after all. How can we still watch her being forced into debt?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Dad, I know you are doing it for Xingjie's benefit, but after all, he is an adult and he should bear some things by himself. Whether he is willing to help his mother pay off her debt should be a matter he considers, rather than you secretly helping Huang Xiaoping
Pay back the money."
Na Cunhua nodded and said, "What Zhaocheng said makes sense. No matter what, Xingjie should know what kind of person his mother is."
Gu Changshan sighed and said: "I can't bear to feel sad for Xingjie. In fact, he has always longed to be reunited with his biological mother, otherwise he would not have only chosen universities in Guangzhou and Shenzhen for the college entrance examination."
Wang Gang said: "Dad, Xingjie is a good boy. He can distinguish right from wrong. Sometimes he has to go through some things, otherwise how can he grow up.
Besides, I think Xingjie doesn’t want you to help Huang Xiaoping either.”
Na Cunhua sighed: "That kid Xingjie seems to be strong, but in fact he is the softest at heart. I'm worried that he will feel even more guilty when he finds out that we secretly helped Huang Xiaoping pay back the money, and feels that he owes us more."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Gu Changshan said desperately.
"First of all, we should tell Xingjie about the debt and let him decide whether to help Huang Xiaoping or not." Wang Gang said:
"If Xingjie is willing to repay Huang Xiaoping's debt, we will help him. There will be no problem, but we must help in a controlled manner."

Wang Gang said: "I think it is not impossible to help Huang Xiaoping pay back the money, but more importantly, it is more important for Huang Xiaoping to have the ability to pay back the money.
If we help Huang Xiaoping for no reason, it will only breed her laziness, thinking that if something happens, someone will help her deal with the aftermath. What if she borrows money again? Will our family care about her for the rest of her life?"
"This is naturally impossible." Gu Changshan said without hesitation: "I helped her this time for Xingjie's sake. If it happens again, I will definitely not pay attention to her again."
"Dad, don't worry about Huang Xiaoping's matter this time. Let me and Xingjie handle it!" Wang Gang said.
Gu Changshan said cautiously: "How are you going to help Huang Xiaoping?"
Na Cunhua stopped Gu Changshan and said, "Since Zhao Chengdu said he will handle it, just let him do it."
Gu Changshan looked at his son's maturing face and suddenly felt like he was old.
There are already people who can support him in this family.
"Go back to sleep!" Na Cunhua pulled Gu Changshan and said.
"Okay." Gu Changshan said half-heartedly.
The couple walked back to the house to sleep. Wang Gang went to the toilet and went back to the house to sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, Wang Gang asked Gu Zhaoxi to take Liang Fengqin and Liu Ziqiang out to play, leaving Chen Xingjie alone to tell him about Huang Xiaoping's debt.
As expected by Wang Gang, Chen Xingjie did not want Gu Changshan to help his biological mother at all. He was afraid that the more debts he repaid, the more he would repay, and that his biological mother would drag down his godfather and godmother.
"Dad, I will repay my mother's debt slowly in the future without your help."
"Silly boy, you haven't worked yet, how can you get the money to pay off your debts?" Gu Changshan said distressedly.
Chen Xingjie gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not going to college. I'm going to work. When I pay off my debt, I can go to school again."
"Nonsense." Na Cunhua said angrily: "I won't allow you to drop out of school. No matter what, you have to finish college."
Chen Xingjie said distressedly: "Godmother."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Xingjie, do you think this is a good idea? I can buy off your mother's debt. From now on, she will work for me and the debt will be deducted from her monthly salary.
But in case your mother runs away, you mortgage your family house to me."
Chen Xingjie was surprised and said: "My shabby house is not worth 30,000 yuan. Brother, you will be at a huge disadvantage."
The houses in the village are worthless, not to mention the Chen family's house was burned like that. Not to mention 30,000 yuan, even 10,000 yuan is not worth it.
Chen Xingjie thought Wang Gang just wanted to help him, so he used the house as an excuse.
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, if your mother refuses to work to pay off the debt, the house will belong to me. We will write a letter to prove it."
Na Cunhua asked worriedly: "Is Huang Xiaoping willing to use her house as a mortgage?"
"If she doesn't want to, then let her face the creditor on her own." Wang Gang said coldly.
