Chapter 333: The Debtor
"Chen Mo, I don't understand what you said, don't go around the bush and just say things?"
"Okay, there is an old man in his eighties here, after the man fell into a coma before, the old man gave him food, and if it wasn't for the old man's alms, he would have starved to death. Chen Mo took a deep breath and continued: "This old man is the widow of the martyr I told you, her husband and son died on the battlefield, the two sons participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and died in a foreign country, his husband was a battalion commander before his death, I don't know how the country treats the families of martyrs, but the old man should not make a living by picking up garbage now!"
"Ye Lao, you are an archaeological expert who has contributed to the country, enjoying the special allowance of the State Council, to put it mildly, if you are gone one day, you will be buried in Babaoshan, and even the leaders of the country will go to pay tribute to you. But this old man, his husband, and his son have dedicated their lives for the country, but the old man has not been properly resettled by the state, do you think it is a little too unfair compared to you?"
Hearing this, Ye Lao coughed lightly: "Chen Mo, what you said is not in my hands, why don't I help you contact the local Civil Affairs Bureau?"
"Ye Lao, contact the Civil Affairs Bureau, I can contact myself, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but can you make a call to the relevant departments of Jinghua City for the sake of my face?"
"Okay, I'll do it right away, but I need some information about this old man. ”
"Okay, I'll send it to you. ”
After hanging up Ye Lao's phone, Chen Mo secretly took a few photos of the old man, and also took a few photos of the garbage pile in the corner of the yard, along with the old man's ID card and her husband's martyr's certificate.
After receiving the photos sent by Chen Mo, Ye Lao hurriedly called the relevant departments in Jinghua City and briefly explained the situation here.
It just so happened that a certain leader of the relevant departments of Jinghua City, who used to be a student of Ye Lao, respected Ye Lao very much, and after receiving Ye Lao's call, he immediately dialed the phone number of the Yuncheng Civil Affairs Bureau......
Chen Mo was relieved to be relieved last night, and at this time, the old grandmother had already prepared the meal, although it didn't look good, but the taste was still very good, Chen Mo opened the liquor, poured three glasses, one for himself, and the other two cups for the old grandmother and the man.
The man had no expression on his face, ate the food, took a sip from his glass, but soon, a painful expression appeared on his face, he turned his head and spit out all the wine, sticking out his tongue......
Chen Mo and the old grandmother both laughed, and Chen Mo thought to himself that he must have regarded liquor as a drink or something.
However, what surprised Chen Mo was that the amount of alcohol that the grandmother drank was surprisingly good, and the grandmother was actually bored with more than two taels of wine glasses.
Although two taels of liquor is not much, it is not difficult for adults to take a sip, but don't forget, she is nearly eighty years old!
"Grandma, you're usually fine, drink some too!" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask.
"If you want to drink it, if you can't think of it, you won't drink it. The old woman pointed to a bucket of cheap bulk white in the corner: "I usually drink that." ”
"Grandma, you're so old, it's okay to drink some wine, but don't be greedy, it's not good for your health. ”
Chen Mo smiled and said, "I'll send you some good wine that day!"
The old grandmother waved her hand again and again: "I'm so old, I can drink anything, I don't have to worry about all those troubles, I will give this child food, just to see that he is pitiful, and you don't have to run to me if you are okay in the future." ”
Chen Mo understood that the grandmother's original intention was not to always come over to buy things for her.
"I know grandma, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. While speaking, Chen Mo took a piece of lean meat and put it in his grandmother's bowl, and grandma gave the lean meat to the man again, and said with a smile: "My teeth are almost gone, and I can't eat this thing." ”
The man looked at the meat in the bowl, smiled, and lowered his head to take a big bite of rice.
Bang!
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside.
The old grandmother's face was stunned for a moment.
After Chen Mo saw the expression on the old grandmother's face, he got up and wanted to go outside to see what was going on, but the old woman hurriedly stopped him: "It's okay, it's okay, you eat, I'll take a look." ”
After saying this, the old grandmother picked up the crutches beside her and staggered out, Chen Mo didn't speak, and followed the old grandmother.
The wooden gate that had been in disrepair for a long time had collapsed, and several young people of eighteen or nineteen stood in the courtyard, and when they saw the old grandmother go out, one of them immediately shouted: "The old immortal, it's time to pay back!"
The old grandmother trembled and looked at a few people in horror: "I haven't saved enough yet, I'm accommodating me for a few days." ”
"No, we've been tolerating you for a few days, if it weren't for your age, I would have put you down with a punch, and I would have to pay back the money today, not a single cent less, otherwise I would have demolished your little broken house." ”
As soon as she heard this, the old grandmother hurriedly trembled her hands and took out all the money on her body, Chen Mo gave her three or four thousand before, and when the young people in the crowd saw the old grandmother, she was actually holding a pile of hundred-yuan bills in her hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The old grandmother was using her wrinkled old hand to find out how much money it was, when a young man suddenly reached out and snatched all the money.
"There can be more than four thousand, plus I have some here, there should be four thousand five or six, and I will find a way to find the rest. The old woman took out a handful of change from the bag, and the maximum face value of these changes was only fifty, of which five and one were the majority.
"Bring it to you!" Without waiting for the old grandmother to find out how much change there was, she was also snatched by the young man, and the young man didn't count, so he stuffed the money into his pocket and said directly: "Don't lose, a total of three thousand, and we are still seven thousand, after a week, we will take the money, remember, not a single point less." ”
"Let's go, if we have money, let's go take a bath, and then make big health arrangements!"
When the rest of the young people heard this, they immediately burst into an uproar.
"Stop me!" Chen Mo stopped a few young people, just now through the conversation between the old grandmother and the young man, he also saw that the old grandmother seemed to owe them money, and it was natural to repay the debt, but these young people seemed to be too much, not only did they kick the door of the old grandmother's house, but the money that the young man took just now must be at least three thousand five or six, but he said that it was only three thousand.
"What are you doing? Help her repay the money?" After the young man heard Chen Mo's shout just now, he stopped his body and stretched out his hand towards Chen Mo: "This old lady still has seven thousand to us, bring it!"
Chen Mo frowned, and then asked the old grandmother, "Grandma, do you owe them money?"
The old grandmother nodded, and hurriedly said, "Child, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry about it, hurry back to the house to eat." ”
