Chapter VIII Unemployment Benefits

"Yes, how do you know my name?"

"My name is Chen Fan, I am your brother's colleague, and I came to your parents for something. ”

"Abba and Auntie, someone is looking for you. Lu Xiaoyan shouted into the house.

A middle-aged man with a rickety figure walked out, the nasolabial folds on his forehead were deep, his eye sockets were collapsed, and the whole person looked depressed.

"You are?"

"My name is Chen Fan, I am a colleague of Xiaoliu, I came to give him unemployment benefits this time, I'm sorry, I'm a step late. He pulled out a black plastic bag, revealing the red bills inside.

"Unemployment benefits?" The middle-aged man stared at his round eyes in disbelief and said, "Xiaoliu said that he doesn't have unemployment benefits." ”

"Yes, I helped him get it back, but unfortunately it was still a step too late. ”

"Please inside, please inside!" The middle-aged man welcomed Chen Fan in.

The furnishings in the house are like those of the sixties and seventies of the last century, with pots and pans, earthen stoves, eight immortal tables, and undulating mud floors......

How could such a family withstand such a blow?

Lu Xiaoliu's mother also rushed out of the back room, she was busy with dinner, Lu Xiaoliu's father introduced Chen Fan's intention, and she immediately smiled on her face: "Welcome, welcome." ”

If Chen Fan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there was such a family on earth. In the past, Xiao Liu told him how poor his family was, but he didn't believe it, until he saw it this time, and he didn't believe that Xiao Liu was definitely not exaggerating. Although his family was also poor at the beginning, he still had a good house in the city.

"Xiaoyan, call my brother!" Lu Xiaoliu's mother urged.

Lu Xiaoyan said in a low voice: "Brother." ”

Chen Fan nodded and answered.

"Uncle and aunt, I'll put this money here, a total of 30,000 yuan, you can count it. Chen Fan put down the plastic bag and didn't tell them that in fact, there were 6,000 yuan in it that belonged to him.

"What's so embarrassing about this?" Lu Xiaoliu's mother said solemnly.

"This is what Xiaoliu deserves, and besides, you should also start your life again and improve your family conditions. ”

Lu Xiaoliu's mother wiped her hands stained with tap water on the dirty floral apron, took the plastic bag, and counted it quickly, and a smile gradually bloomed at the corner of her mouth: "Thirty thousand, that's right, a lot of points." ”

"Alright, I'll go first. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, stay for dinner!"

Chen Fan just wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, if he really left, Lu Xiaoliu's parents would definitely think that he Chen Fan looked down on them. He simply nodded: "Okay, I'll stay for dinner." ”

Dinner is simple, but the taste is full. There is innocence in the plain, full of fireworks.

"Xiaofan, I'll tell you the truth, you have helped us a lot, the debt collectors have been coming to the door for the past few days, and we really can't help it. ”

"How much do you owe outside?"

"Forty or fifty thousand inside and out! But don't worry, we'll figure it out ourselves. ”

There was a sense of relaxation on my father's face. In the past few days, what he is most afraid of hearing is the knock on the door.

Before the words fell, the door "ding-ding-dong" sounded rudely and savagely.

The violent shaking made the low shanties stagger, and most of the tomato and egg soup on the table was spilled.

Xiaoliu's father showed a trace of horror in his eyes: "The debt collector is here." ”

"Debt collector?" Chen Fan stood up, ready to step forward and open the door.

Xiaoliu's mother grabbed him: "Xiaofan, this matter has nothing to do with you, you go to the house to hide." ”

Chen Fan couldn't resist Xiaoliu's mother, and was dragged into the back room by her.

Xiaoliu's father opened the door, and a group of strong men with five big and three thick immediately poured in, exuding a strong smell of alcohol, they were holding steel rods in their hands and carrying beer bottles, extremely arrogant.

"I said Lao Lu, if you don't pay back today, I will demolish your house!"

"Oh, little sister, I like it...... There is a shortage of such chicks in the field...... If you don't come forward today, you will pay off your daughter's debts!"

These strong men are drunk, but their eyes are extremely fierce.

Xiaoliu's father said: "Brother worm, there is money, we have money." ”

"Oh, didn't you still have no money yesterday, why did you get rich all of a sudden?" said the strong man at the head, who was burly and muscular, with a black scorpion tattoo on the right side of his face, and at the moment he was very interested in where the money came from.

"It's the unemployment compensation of Little Six. Xiaoliu's father pushed Xiaoliu's mother. Xiao Liu's mother reluctantly took out a black plastic bag from the belly pocket in front of the floral skirt, and Xiao Liu's father snatched it, opened it and handed it to Brother Worm: "Brother Worm, this is 30,000 yuan, we can only take out so much now." ”

"30,000 yuan, yes, this interest is there. In this case, you will take another 70,000 yuan, and the usury matter will be settled. ”

Xiaoliu's father was startled, his eyes widened and said, "Brother Worm, yesterday was not only 67,000, why is it 100,000 today?"

"Loan shark, loan shark, yesterday was the last date to repay the money, you are overdue, this overdue fee should be calculated, right?" Brother Worm took 30,000 yuan from Xiaoliu's father, his fingers were stained with saliva, and he counted them one by one.

"The overdue fee, why is it so high?" said Xiao Liu's father in disbelief.

"My brother worm said as much as he wanted, if you don't take any more money, do you want to die?" a little brother pointed at Xiaoliu's father with a wine bottle and shouted.

Xiaoliu's father was terrified, where did he find the 70,000 yuan!

"Brother Worm, can you be tolerant for two more days, I'll borrow it from a relative, you can do it, my son just left, you have mercy on me!" Xiaoliu's father said with a crying voice.

"Tolerate for two days, heh, there are more poor people in the world, I pity you, who will pity me? Besides, don't you have a dead son, it's a big deal to have another one!hahaha......" The laughter erupted all around.

"It's still Brother Worm's humor, worthy of the joker, but I think this old guy is useless, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to have another one!"

"If you have a problem, find us! If he can't give birth, we will help him give birth! Helping others is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation!" Someone stared at Xiaoliu's mother with squinting eyes, scanning from top to bottom.

Frightened, Xiaoliu's mother protected her chest with both hands and retreated again and again. Lu Xiaoyan stared at her big watery eyes and wanted to cry. At a young age, he was under pressure that he shouldn't have tolerate.

"Hahaha, it's fun to help others, it's good to help others, we are all progressive young people in society, so we should be happy to help others!" a group of people laughed wildly and insolently.

Chen Fan, who was hiding in the back room, couldn't hold back any longer, he walked out of the door and shouted, "Have you made enough trouble!"

A thunderous roar briefly silenced the room.

When everyone saw the thin Chen Fan, they immediately gossiped: "Where did the monkey cub come from?"

"Little B is very bold, dare to speak up to my brother worm, believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

"I don't believe it, you're coming!" Chen Fan stepped forward and shouted as he stared at the shouting little brother.

The shouting little brother was choked, picked up the steel rod and walked towards Chen Fan.

"Wait!" Brother Worm waved his hand and motioned for his little brother to step back, he stepped forward in person and rubbed his eyes: "Brother Fan, you are Brother Fan, right?"

The little brother around him suddenly quieted down, and looked at Chen Fan with a frightened eye, who the hell is this person, and he actually asked Brother Worm to open his mouth and call Brother.

Xiaoliu's father, mother and Lu Xiaoyan were also stunned, who is this Chen Fan?

Chen Fan frowned, he didn't know this "insect brother" at all.

"Brother Fan, you definitely don't know me, but you must know my eldest brother, Lu Zhengyi!"

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"That's right, your feat in the afternoon spread in Brother Yi's circle of friends, the slap and the slap are called a pleasure. Brother Worm said excitedly, "I am also from Xijiang, I worshipped Brother Yi when I was in high school, and I came to Rongcheng together, Brother Yi used to do debt collection work with us, but after he got married, he went to work as a security guard in a garment factory." ”

"It turns out that you are a righteous brother, what a coincidence. Chen Fan said lightly.

"Of course! The water has washed the Dragon King Temple, you come here! Kneel down and apologize to Brother Fan!" Brother Worm kicked on the little brother who had spoken disrespectfully to Chen Fan just now.

The little brother suddenly showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, he stepped forward in three or two steps, no matter how dirty the mud was, he knelt down at Chen Fan with a "poof", "Brother Fan, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I don't know Mount Tai with eyes." ”

"No need. Chen Fan waved his hand, "This family still owes you 70,000 yuan, right?"

Brother Worm smiled: "Generally speaking, yes, but if Brother Fan comes forward, let's calculate it according to the original, sixty-seven minus thirty-thousand, that is, thirty-seven thousand." ”

"Well, I gave thirty-seven thousand, WeChat to you. ”

"Hey, Brother Fan is really refreshing, I have made up your friend Zhao Chong. Brother Worm patted his chest and said.

Chen Fan added Zhao Chong's WeChat and transferred 40,000 yuan to him: "The 3,000 yuan is not in vain to invite the brothers to drink." ”

"Brother Fan's atmosphere!" Zhao Chong said excitedly, the time limit given to him by the creditor was three months, but he didn't expect it to be done in just over a month. He took out a stack of IOUs, covered with various bright red handprints, "Brother Fan, you can put these IOUs away." ”

"Keep in touch in the future. Chen Fan put away the IOU and nodded lightly.

"Okay, keep in touch!" Zhao Chong suddenly squirmed, "Brother Fan, I still have a small request." ”

Say. ”

"I'd like to take a picture with you, okay?"

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Chong excitedly put his right hand around Chen Fan and asked his younger brother to take a group photo with his mobile phone.

"Brother Fan, thank you!" With this photo, he can pretend to be forced in the circle of friends. According to Lu Zhengyi's "reveal", Chen Fan's background is mysterious, and he is definitely a low-key rich second generation, and a genuine Louis Vuitton is definitely not less than 100,000 yuan!

A thick smoke of gunpowder gradually cleared, and the originally suffocating air was now so pleasant to breathe!

Xiaoliu's father and mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Fan, who are you, why are they so polite to you?Do you know them?" Xiao Liu's father looked at Chen Fan strangely, how could his son know such a big man?

"I, an ordinary person, was still delivering food yesterday, what do you say I am!" Chen Fan shook his head and said.

"The ...... who delivers takeaways" Xiaoliu's father is not good, and he is so profitable to deliver takeaways?

"Xiaofan, don't worry, we will definitely pay you back this money!" Xiaoliu's mother said simply.

"Hmm. Chen Fan nodded, it's not that he cares about the 40,000 yuan, it's just that for this kind of honest person, he can't sleep well if he takes so much money from others for nothing. As for these IOUs, they will be kept by him, and he will not take the initiative to ask for the money whether he pays it back or not.

"Brother Xiaofan, thank you!" Lu Xiaoyan said, a blush on her innocent little face.

"No thanks, it's getting late, I'll leave first. Chen Fan waved his hand and strode away from Lu Xiaoliu's house.

When Chen Fan walked away, Xiaoliu's father patted his thigh: "It's over, I forgot to leave someone's contact information, how can I pay back this money!"

Xiao Lu's mother burst into tears and sobbed in a low voice: "What a good person, a good person!"
