Chapter 374: Poverty
They were all soldiers before, and they even killed people, if they weren't calculated, Yuan Zhe would not have fallen to this point today.
The comrades-in-arms who hadn't seen each other for a long time chatted with great emotion.
At the beginning, the relationship between several people who were discharged from the army and changed jobs was very good, and after changing jobs, they went their separate ways, if it weren't for Bai Ting's running transportation line, with the inconvenient traffic now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to meet again in his life.
Yuan Zhe remembered the fair-skinned and lovely little girl just now, "That little girl just now is your daughter?"
"Yes, her name is Zhuzhu. As soon as Bai Ting mentioned his daughter, his face was full of the brilliance of fatherly love.
Yuan Zhe was very surprised by his attitude, "You have really changed a lot." β
In the past, Bai Ting was only dedicated to the army, and after changing jobs, he was lucky enough to enter a factory transportation team, although the two have only met a few times over the years, but they also know that this kid only wants to make money, and marrying a daughter-in-law is not much different from before in the army.
In the past, this guy didn't have any popularity at all, and when he went to the battlefield, he didn't look like he was afraid of death.
I haven't seen you for a long time, but now Bai Ting has more fireworks on his body.
Just now, he could also see that the relationship between the husband and wife was very good.
"It's okay, you kid didn't care about anything before, he worked hard to do everything, but now he has a daughter-in-law and children. Yuan Zhe smiled, like an old father, and sighed, "I am relieved to see that you are doing well." β
Bai Ting: "......"
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Yunxiu was also boiling water in the kitchen.
The original family was indeed poorer than those from the countryside, and she wanted to make something to eat for the patient, but when she entered the kitchen, she found that there were only a few grains of rice left in the rice bowl in the kitchen.
No wonder the 'porridge' she had seen on that table was like that.
Looking at Yuan He's child who was still licking the candy, she took off a small cloth bag on her body, and 'took out' a small bag of rice from it, which was not much, only two or three catties, and poured it directly into his rice bowl.
"These rice ......" the little guy looked at her movements dumbfounded, and asked curiously, "Are you going to give it to our family?"
"Yes. Zhang Yunxiu nodded, "Are you hungry, little friend?"
"Hungry!" Yuan He nodded vigorously and said with a puffed out face, "The food at home has been robbed, and my brother and I haven't eaten enough for a long time." β
"Are you and your brother the only ones left in the house?"
Zhang Yunxiu looked at the skinny child and asked with some pity.
"Yes. "It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful young lady, much more beautiful than my brother's fiancΓ©e.
His little face flushed slightly, and he said embarrassedly, "I can also cook, when my brother is lying in bed, I cook the food." β
Zhang Yunxiu was stunned, she didn't expect this child to start cooking at such a young age.
She stretched out her hand, gently touched the little guy's head, and praised with a smile, "Well, Xiaohe is really capable." β
Yuan He grinned and obediently went to get coal, "Sister, I'll help you light the fire." β
"No, I'll just come. β
She still uses the coal stove.
There wasn't much coal left in the original house, she looked at the few briquettes, sighed lightly, and was about to light the fire, when she suddenly heard a violent knock on the door.
She was stunned, stood up and walked outside, and saw the door of the original house being slammed.
A trace of fear and fear flashed in Yuan He's eyes, but he walked over timidly.
As soon as he opened a small door, he was kicked open by someone outside, and he staggered back several steps and almost fell to the ground.
"Yuanhe, where is your brother?" As soon as the people outside came in, they raised their voices and shouted, "How long has it been? When will the money your family owe us be paid off? Is your brother dead? If he is not dead, let him get out and pay the money quickly!"
"I, my brother is sick......"
Yuan He was obviously very scared of the people who entered the door, and he was trembling when he spoke.
"Sick?"
The people who came in were men and women, old and young.
The one who spoke was a woman in her forties, with a fleshy face that looked like a messy person.
She crossed her hands on her hips and yelled at a skinny child, "If you are sick, you have to get up and pay back the money for your mother! Damn, didn't your original family be rich before? Now you can't afford to pay back fifty yuan, who are you fooling!"
"However, our family really has no money now. Yuan He said aggrievedly, "When you came a few days ago, you smashed so many things in our house and took away so many things......
"Oh my name, those things are just interest, if you can't afford to change the money, will the old lady want those rags in your house?"
The woman shouted, her voice almost scared Hara into tears.
Zhang Yunxiu stood at the kitchen door frowning, and behind her was a little girl with her eyes wide open.
Zhuzhu looked at the fierce woman, and couldn't help but think of the fierce people she had faced before, and she suddenly became more sympathetic to Yuan He.
Hurriedly ran over with two small short legs, protected Yuan He behind him, looked at the woman fiercely and said, "You are not allowed to bully him!"
"Where did you come from?"
The woman's eyes lit up when she looked at the fair-skinned and well-behaved little girl who was dressed beautifully.
Zhang Yunxiu walked over at this time, looked at this group of fierce people who came to ask for debts, protected Yuan He behind him, and asked with a light smile, "Comrade, you said that the original family owes you money, do you have an IOU?"
"IOUs?"
The woman snorted coldly, what kind of IOU? I'm here to ask for a debt, what does it have to do with the IOU?
"How can you ask for a debt if you don't have an IOU?" How can you prove that the original family owes you money?" Zhang Yunxiu didn't expect that the other party didn't have an IOU.
She couldn't help but look at Yuan He and asked gently, "Xiaohe, does your family really owe her 50 yuan?"
Yuan He looked at the mother and daughter who were protecting him blankly, his eyes suddenly turned red, he sniffed, and said loudly, "No! Sister, our family doesn't owe money at all, and this woman herself relied on my brother's head, saying that my brother ruined her daughter's reputation and asked us to pay her money." β
Fame?
Zhang Yunxiu's heart sighed, wouldn't it? That person named Yuan Zhe didn't seem to be a person who could do that kind of thing.
"Ahem......"
Suddenly, a cough drew everyone's attention.
Seeing only the pale Yuan He was being supported by Bai Ting, standing at the door looking at the woman and the people behind her angrily, and sneered, "You still have the face to come to my house to ask for debts? Who owes whom?"
