Lin Yang nodded, quickly bought the wine, and then went to help Li Lan'e.
After thinking about it, he decided to make it clear to Li Lan'e in advance that he would pay off all the debts tonight. After the matter was completely resolved, Li Lan'e no longer had to work so hard.
Also explain how to recover the debt. There is no need to hide this matter from her.
"Mom, when uncle and the others come over later, give me the IOU, and I'll calculate how much you have to pay and pay it back."
Lin Yang said calmly while washing the dishes.
Li Lan'e's hand that was holding the knife to chop vegetables paused slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Okay, if you can pay it back, you can pay it back. Let me guess, did you win the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket? Mom believes you are very lucky."
She thought Lin Yang was just joking, so she followed his words and joked, but she was not distressed by having so much debt.
In fact, since Lin Yang was discharged from the hospital and his body recovered very well without any sequelae, Li Lan'e felt much more relieved and behaved very cheerfully.
That Li Lan'e could still remain so optimistic was beyond Lin Yang's expectation.
The strength she shows is really not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Lin Yang stopped what he was doing, looked at Li Lan'e seriously, and spoke word by word.
"Mom, what I said is true. I have prepared the money and it is in my room."
Seeing how solemn and serious Lin Yang was, Li Lan'e also stopped moving, and her eyes gradually became more suspicious.
That's hundreds of thousands of debts, not hundreds or thousands, but hundreds of thousands.
How can a sophomore student have so much money?
Did you really win the lottery?
Lin Yang also knew Li Lan'e's doubts at this time and took the initiative to explain:
"I have a classmate who majored in law. With his help, I used the law to negotiate with those who beat me. The other party decided to keep it private and compensate me."
He spoke lightly and simply, but there didn't seem to be any deception in his tone.
Li Lan'e looked at him with more and more disbelief.
Since Lin Yang's incident happened that day, it is not that Li Lan'e has not called the police, but subsequent news came that the suspect has not been found yet, so she can only continue to wait.
How did Lin Yang find those people? How did he negotiate with those people? How could those people compromise so easily... Lin Yang did not tell any of these processes.
Li Lan'e's expression became more solemn. Only those who have experienced hardships in society will understand how deep the water is.
It seemed like a simple thing to Lin Yang, but it sounded so shocking to Li Lan'e that she still couldn't believe it.
Therefore, after hearing what Lin Yang said, she was more inclined to think that Lin Yang had done something illegal to get the money!
"……son!"
Li Lan'e took a deep breath and prepared to question Lin Yang properly.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he was interrupted by Lin Yang.
"Mom, don't worry, I didn't do anything illegal or criminal. This money was really recovered from those people using legitimate means."
Lin Yang said, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and handed it to Li Lan'e.
Looking at the content written on the piece of paper in his hand, as well as the dense fingerprints left by all three parties, including the notary and Lin Yang, Li Lan'e rubbed her eyes in disbelief for a moment.
"Five million?!"
"How...why are there so many?"
Lin Yang did not hide anything, but the amount of compensation exceeded Li Lan'e's imagination.
If hundreds of thousands were still within her acceptance range, she couldn't believe it at all.
Lin Yang had no choice but to explain many times that this was the actual amount of compensation calculated according to the corresponding laws, and there was nothing illegal. In the end, Li Lan'e could only accept it with suspicion.
After all, Lin Huan had never told her that she was panicked, and Lin Yang had not lied about this matter. Everything was so real, and the only thing she couldn't accept was the number.
Lin Yang had completely put his cards on the table now, but this was a sudden change for Li Lan'e, which suddenly made her very confused.
It was like I was ready to give up everything and go to hell, but I was stopped halfway and was told that hell was gone...
Li Lan'e's heart suddenly became empty.
In this regard, Lin Yang had no choice but to continue to enlighten her. If she didn't hurry up, she would be embarrassed when her relatives arrived and the meal was not ready.
Li Lan'e was very concerned about etiquette in front of these relatives, so she could only temporarily put away the messy thoughts in her mind and do the things on hand first.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, one after another fragrant home-cooked dishes were served to the table by Lin Yang. This table was a large round table borrowed from the neighbor next door, which was enough for more than ten people to sit around.
Soon, footsteps were heard in the stairwell, and not long after, several figures walked into Lin Yang's home, curiously looking at the old house, and talking to each other.
Lin Yang naturally knew these people through his memory.
There were five boys and three girls in total. Except for a girl of the same age as him, who was Lin Huan's cousin, the others were Lin Huan's uncle and aunt.
Li Lan'e just finished her work and came out of the kitchen with the last dish and handed it to the table. She wiped her hands with her apron and greeted these people to take their seats.
At the beginning, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces. They communicated very politely with Li Lan'e and her son at the dinner table, and asked about Lin Yang's current physical condition from time to time, showing great concern.
No one mentioned anything about the debt, as if it didn't matter to them.
Li Lan'e was the fourth in her mother's family, and Lin Huan's cousin also called her a fourth aunt and a cousin, and they called her very eagerly.
Lin Yang originally planned to make it clear first and pay off the debt after dinner. Although these relatives were a bit interested in taking advantage of the situation, they were still willing to lend money to Li Lan'e at that juncture.
No matter what the purpose was, they were helpful, and the expensive medical expenses were settled because of them, and it was because of this that Lin Yang was able to receive treatment.
Lin Yang was not a person who was indifferent to right and wrong, so even though he knew that the interest involved in the debt was very high, he didn't take it to heart. Anyway, the money in hand was more than enough to repay the debt.
It's just that these people were chatting with Li Lan'e very enthusiastically. Lin Yang couldn't get a word in, so he had to watch silently and wait until later.
The meal lasted until nearly midnight, the night was already very late, and everyone's face even had a red tinge and the smell of alcohol all over their body.
But the communication between these brothers and sisters continued, and they kept talking about some interesting things about their childhood or recent years.
It seemed that Li Lan'e suddenly no longer had the pressure to repay her debts, and she had no worries at this time. She was very happy and relaxed communicating with her brothers and sisters.
Lin Yang was sitting in the corner a little bored. It was rare to see his mother so happy, and it was difficult to refute her elegance.
After listening for a while, he felt like urinating and was going to go to the toilet and make them some tea to relieve their hangover.
But before he could get up, the steps he had just moved stopped immediately.
The conversation at the dinner table suddenly became uncomfortable, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.
Just because Lin Yang's fifth uncle, Li Lan'e's younger brother, suddenly said something at this time.
"Sister, Xiao Huan has fully recovered now. People who study in college will go out into society sooner or later. You don't have to worry too much. You should always take care of yourself.
Do you still know Mr. Li Jiang, Mr. Li? The man who often asked me about you is now the boss of a big business. He came to me again and wanted to contact you..."
