Because he slept a little late last night, Du Fei took a rare nap and didn't get up until nearly nine o'clock. As for Lu Mingxue, she had come out of the bedroom more than an hour ago.

After washing and dressing, as soon as he arrived in the living room, Du Fei was stunned. He glanced at Lu Kang and his wife, whose faces were not very good-looking, and then looked at the Lu Mingxue sisters who were accompanying him, and asked, "What's wrong?

Lu Mingxue looked at him and said, "There is someone from the Lu family in Yue Province, and it will be there in a while." ”

"The Lu family in Yue Province?" Du Fei frowned instantly when he heard this, "What are they doing here?" Also, how do they know that our family is here?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lu Kang with some hesitation. The latter sighed, "I told them." After all, they are relatives, and if people are coming, it is not good for us to entertain outside. As for what they're here for. ”

Lu Kang shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "It's not clear for the time being." ”

"What's not clear?" Zhou Hui suddenly refuted: "The call was from Lu Jianping's bastard. I know with my toes that the other party must not be well-intentioned, and in my opinion, eighty percent of it is for the IOU that your father left for people. ”

"Lu Jianping?IOU?" Du Fei's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he asked, "Dad, what's going on?"

After a short moment of silence, Lu Kang sighed again and said, "This matter has to start from forty years ago..."

The Lu family tree can be traced back to more than 100 years ago. At that time, Huaxia was not yet called Huaxia. Because of the war, the whole country is in a state of anarchy. And the Lu family was one of the warlords at that time. The place of rule is Zhonghai.

It's just that in Lu Kang's grandfather's father's generation, as the war intensified, many forces began to fall one by one. Lu Ping, the head of the Lu family at the time, began to worry.

The situation is getting more and more chaotic, how long will this situation last? Who will fall next? Could it be the Lu family?

Because of this concern, Lu Ping finally made up his mind after thinking about it for a month. The Lu family couldn't go on like this any longer, so he decided to raise the strength of the whole clan and take refuge in the Huaxia Army.

However, this decision was not supported by everyone, because the Huaxia army at that time was clearly the weakest of all the major forces.

The choice was divided, and the Lu family began to split. Among them, because of his status, Lu Ping took nearly seventy percent of his family's property and their house to follow the Huaxia Army to start the national campaign. The other three went their separate ways, and only Grandpa Lu Kang's grandfather and his family chose to stay in Zhonghai.

Later, it turned out that Lu Ping was right, and he won the bet. Because of that big gamble, his branch finally settled in Yue Province and became the strongest family in the local area.

And the branch that stayed in Zhonghai, because of the identity of the Lu family warlord, they couldn't stay in the city anymore, and could only be forced to return to the ancestral house, and the Zhonghai Du family declined.

Originally, if it was just that, it would be nothing. After all, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone collectively ate a big pot of rice, and the poor were poor. But life can still be lived. Who knew that the tide of reform and opening suddenly hit, and the whole country entered a period of large-scale layoffs, because there was no background relationship, Lu Kang's father Lu Aiguo became the first batch of laid-off targets.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced that period to imagine what it was like for an ordinary family to be laid off in the first place. In a nutshell, the sky has fallen.

As a result, the Lu family almost fell into a state of despair.

At this time, they thought of the Lu family in Yue Province.

"In 1980, my grandfather went to Viet Province. Fortunately, people at that time still missed the old love, especially one of them was very close to my grandfather, so when he returned to Zhonghai, he brought back a full 50,000 yuan. ”

"Fifty thousand, at the time, it was definitely a huge amount of money. You know, at that time, you could buy a suite for more than 1,000 yuan in Shangjing. What is the concept of 50,000? Its purchasing power is higher than the current 500 million. ”

Du Fei nodded when he heard this, he still knew this. In the eighties, the rich were called 10,000 households. i.e. the equivalent of a billionaire. 50,000 yuan is indeed a very, very considerable amount of money.

"After that, my father took the money and went to the Soviet Union to be the master. It's just that the money has just been spent, and before I have time to dispose of the goods, the Lu family in Yue Province actually came. ”

Lu Kang looked up at Du Fei, his eyes were slightly complicated, and he said, "It's the daughter-in-law of the uncle who gave the money to my grandfather at the beginning." And her intention was to get the money back. ”

“...”

At the beginning, Lu Kang's cousin did not have the consent of his family when he handed over the money to Lu Kang's grandfather, and his family didn't react much when he found out afterwards. After all, it's also a relative, although 50,000 yuan is much. But it is nothing to the Lu family in Yue Province. It's time to help the poor relatives. But her daughter-in-law didn't think so.

Doesn't this clearly show that you are here to fight the autumn breeze? You will give it when you say it, and you will give 50,000 yuan at a time. What if he wants to come back tomorrow? Even if he doesn't come, let other poor relatives know about it, what if a few more come? Even if he has more money in the Lu family, can he afford to give it away for nothing?

So, without saying a word, she came to the door alone.

"It stands to reason that this money belongs to others, and if people don't want to give it, we don't have a problem. But all the money was spent. My father couldn't pay it back even if he wanted to. So he asked, can you give him a few days of grace and return it when he dumps the goods?"

"The other party is easy to talk to, and he really gave us a month, and said that he would come back next month. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Kang couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "But where is there a sure profit in business? Not to mention that my father has never done business before." So, he didn't find out until he had cleared all the goods. Not only did this deal lose money, but it also lost a lot. ”

"I lost more than 10,000 yuan. ”

“...”

What is this concept? It's equivalent to losing 10 suites in Beijing. This is not just a loss? It is a blood loss.

After twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, Du Fei opened his mouth and asked, "What about later?"

"Later..."

When the other party came to the door again, Lu Aiguo was actually gray-haired. But there is no way, no matter how worried he is, he still has to pay it back. If he returns the rest of the money to the other party first, he will never be able to afford to pay back the more than 10,000 yuan in his life. So he proposed, hoping that the other party would give him a little more time. He promised that he would pay it off within six months.

But after the previous experience, where will people still believe him? The next thing Lu Kang just said a word. But in fact, Lu Aiguo's father and son were severely humiliated by the other party at that time.

The general meaning of the other party's words is:

"If it weren't for my father-in-law, people like you would never know how much 10,000 yuan is in your life. Don't blame me for not listening to what I say, even if I tie you two together, it's not worth a thousand yuan, let alone more than 10,000 yuan. Okay, okay, okay. Give me the rest of the money, and I will give you what I lose. You don't have to pay it back. ”

"A poor ghost is a poor ghost, and if you don't have that rich life, you always want to make a fortune?

Lu Aiguo, who is only 30 years old and still in his youth, can endure such humiliation? It's just that after all, this matter is his fault, and he can't do anything if he holds back the anger in his belly. He simply swore to God that if he couldn't repay the money within half a year, he would pay his life to the other party.

It's a pity that Lu Aiguo is not the protagonist, and he doesn't have the air of a tyrant. These words not only did not shock the other party's tiger body, but once again exchanged for an even more ugly mocking speech.

Hit, can't beat, scold, scold. Money, can't afford to pay it back. In this case, what the other party said was ugly, and he could only endure it. This sense of grievance made him gradually begin to lose his mind. In the end, Lu Aiguo, who really couldn't listen to it, actually proposed that as long as she could give herself half a year, she could mention whatever she wanted!

"Okay, that's what you said. As you yourselves, 50,000 is not a small amount. To put it mildly, even if I lend the bank, I still have a lot of interest every month. I can't lend it to you for nothing, can I? Well, I won't bother with you for more than a month. Half a year, from now on. Half a year later, I don't want money, I want a house. ”

As she spoke, she stretched out a palm and said, "Fifty sets of houses, for half a year, you write me a note." If you can't pay it back, then whatever your Lu family has, it's all mine. ”

"According to the situation at that time, 50,000 yuan for 50 houses is indeed not too much. A touch of bitterness appeared on his face, and Lu Kang slowly shook his head and said, "So, at that time, my father set up a note for her without saying a word." ”

“...”

This time, Du Fei not only twitched the corners of his mouth, but even the corners of his eyes couldn't control the twitching. Fifty houses? This is a great asset no matter what age it is. Lu Aiguo was like that at that time, where did he get the confidence to agree to return 50 houses in half a year?

This is a house, not a house! A house and a house are completely different things. Shangjing as an example, it is not a courtyard house that does not deserve to be called a house at all.

The most important thing is that everyone knows about housing prices. Especially after the change, it is the same day by day. Half a year later, the value will at least double, and I'm afraid it will be enough for 100,000. And from Zhou Hui's previous words, it can be judged that the IOU is still in the other party's hand, which shows that Lu Aiguo must not have made enough money.

Sure enough, I heard Lu Kang smile bitterly again: "But my father still underestimated the knowledge of doing business. After half a year, after all the expenses, he only made a thousand yuan. ”

"A thousand yuan, put in the homes of ordinary people at that time, it can be regarded as a huge amount of money. But for my father, who owes fifty houses, it is tantamount to an extremely heavy blow. There is no doubt that he could not fulfill his original promise. ”

Du Fei also sighed silently and said, "What about later?"

"The IOUs are written, and neither my father nor my grandfather are the kind of scoundrels. So at that time, they were ready to compensate the entire Lu family to each other. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Kang couldn't help but shake his head again and said, "I didn't think about it. A full week passed after the agreed time, and the other party didn't come. ”
