Chapter 5: Family Changes
An hour later, standing at the gate of the community in the early morning, looking at the familiar buildings, bits and pieces of memories came flooding back to me. Except for being shabby, nothing has changed much, and it looks so kind!
After a long time, I picked up my mood in the early morning, shook my head, and arrived home immediately, standing here and thinking about something! Thinking of this, according to my memory, I walked quickly towards the community.
As he went upstairs, Ling Chen's mood became more and more excited, and his heartbeat increased a lot, which was rare for him. When he stopped and looked at the iron door of the east house on the third floor, his mood suddenly calmed down, and he arrived home!
"Mom and Dad, little sister, I'm back. Ling Chen muttered to himself, I don't know how they would react? I shouldn't recognize myself, right? Thinking of several possibilities, the corners of his mouth outlined a charming arc, and he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
A minute passed, Ling Chen frowned slightly, put his ear to the iron door and listened, there was no movement inside, it should be not at home, so he could only stand outside and wait.
I don't know how long it took, a burst of footsteps sounded, and Ling Chen's spirit was shocked, could it be that his parents came back?
Soon, an aunt came up from below, and to Ling Chen's disappointment, it was not his mother. After a few more glances, I smiled, isn't this Aunt Liu on the other side?
Aunt Liu saw the early morning and sighed: "Young man, you are also here to ask for debts? Don't wait, Lao Ling's family is not at home." ”
Ling Chen was stunned, he also came to ask for debts? Could it be that his family owes a lot of foreign debts?
Aunt Liu was silent in the early morning, and shook her head: "Lao Ling won't come back for a week, so you can give a few days." With that, he opened the door and went home.
"Hey, wait, Auntie. Ling Chen hurriedly called Aunt Liu: "What did you mean by what you just said?"
Aunt Liu stopped, looked at the early morning again, and felt a little familiar: "Didn't you come to the Lao Ling family to ask for debts?"
Ling Chen hurriedly shook his head: "No, auntie, what's wrong with his family?"
"Oh, it's hard to put into words! By the way, who are you?"
"I... I am a distant relative of the Lao Ling family, and I just came to Yunhai, thinking about coming to join me. Out of some thoughts, Ling Chen didn't say his identity, but said nonsense.
Aunt Liu didn't doubt him, and nodded: "It turned out to be a relative, the young man came in and sat down." With that, he opened the door.
"Thank you, Auntie. Ling Chen nodded politely, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and walked in quickly.
Aunt Liu poured a glass of water for Ling Chen, then sat opposite and began to say: "A year ago, Lao Chu was sick......
The old Chu in Aunt Liu's mouth is the mother in the early morning, when he heard that his mother was sick, although he was anxious, he didn't dare to interrupt Aunt Liu, so he could only listen patiently.
About half an hour, early in the morning to understand the beginning and end of the matter, a year ago my mother was sick, spent all the family's savings, and owed a lot of foreign debts, coupled with the poor efficiency of the enterprise, my father was laid off, which made the family even more difficult.
At that time, my little sister wanted to drop out of school and work to supplement the family, but my father refused. He started a small business, but he lost money, and in the end he somehow borrowed a loan shark, and the result was a rolling profit, and he simply couldn't pay it back.
Now, every day, there are people who come to the door to ask for debts, there are relatives of their own, and there are loan sharks, which makes the family have a very hard time.
Three days ago, Xiaomei participated in an event and was rewarded with a seven-day tour of landscape for the whole family, without spending a penny at home.
At that time, Xiaomei was going to sell it for some money, but the event party did not allow it, there was no way, so she came back to persuade her parents to go out for a walk, or she would not be at home all day long to face these debts, which would not be good for her mother's condition.
"At four o'clock yesterday afternoon, Lao Ling and the others left. Aunt Liu frowned when she saw Ling Chen, and said one more word.
Ling Chen nodded, but he was a little angry with himself, if he hadn't been delayed for a day on the road to save Meiduo, he wouldn't have missed it with his parents and little sister!
Fortunately, they came back a week later, and Aunt Liu said that my mother's illness was almost better, so she was not too anxious.
As for foreign debts, Ling Chen doesn't care, is he short of money now? The biggest economic problem in his family is really nothing in his eyes. However, he smelled a little bit of conspiracy from Aunt Liu's words!
"It's natural to repay debts, but if there's really a conspiracy in it, hmph, I'll break your thighs and stuff them in your anus!"
I haven't seen it for thirteen years, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water has not weakened at all, or even thicker. The family is the rebel scale of the early morning, and whoever dares to touch it will have to accept his anger and punishment!
"Young man, if you want to find Lao Ling, come back in a week. Last time, I heard from the loan sharks that if they don't pay back, they will send the daughter of the Lao Ling family to an entertainment venue, and then they will have to take over his house. ”
A monstrous murderous aura permeated the air, Ling Chen's face was cold, his fists made a crunchy sound, and even the chair under his ass made a slight cracking sound.
Aunt Liu was taken aback, on a hot day, why did the indoor temperature seem to have dropped a lot! Then she noticed Ling Chen's face, and couldn't help but shudder: "Young man, you, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing Aunt Liu's words in the early morning, he slowly dissipated his murderous aura, released his clenched fists, and shook his head: "I'm fine, aunt." ”
That cold feeling disappeared, and Aunt Liu also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay." Saying that, look at the time: "Young man, don't leave at night, let's eat at Auntie's." ”
"No, I still have something to do at night, so I won't bother my aunt. "Ling Chen stood up.
"Don't be so polite, you are Lao Ling's relative, and when you arrive, it's like your own home. "I had a good impression of Aunt Liu in the early morning, so I wanted to keep him to finish eating.
Ling Chen smiled and shook his head: "Auntie, I really have something to do tonight, I'll come to visit you another day." ”
Ling Chen thought about it, and took out another business card: "Auntie, this is my business card, if there are any more loan sharks who come to ask for debts, you can give them this business card and ask them to call me." Lao Ling's money, I'll pay it back!"
Aunt Liu was stunned when she heard Ling Chen's words, he came to pay back the money of the Lao Ling family, and his relatives returned to his relatives, such a large sum of money! Moreover, looking at Ling Chen's outfit, he didn't look like a too rich master, but more like a college student.
"You, are you coming?" Aunt Liu asked with a stammer.
Ling Chen nodded, his father and son repaid their debts, which is justified, but he doesn't plan to tell Aunt Liu now that he is the early morning of thirteen years away from home!
Aunt Liu was just about to ask a few more questions, but she heard a sound of slamming the door outside, and then a noisy voice sounded: "You won't run away from debts, right?"
"Mom, his family can run away from the monk and can't run the temple, anyway, this place is about to be demolished, and if he can't get it, he will sell the house!" another male voice sounded.
"Alas, it's Lao Ling's eldest sister, who came to collect debts again. Aunt Liu sighed and said to Ling Chen.
In the early morning, her eyelids jumped, and then her aunt surged with anger, her own family is like this, are they like this? Relatives, hehe, is this a relative?
"Auntie, does the Lao Ling family also owe you money?" Ling Chen thought of something and asked hurriedly.
Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Well, I borrowed 15,000 before, and I paid back 10,000, and there are 5,000 left, but I'm not in a hurry, it's all from the neighbors." ”
Chen Chen didn't say a word, took out his wallet, and took out all the cash inside: "Auntie, there are 5,000 yuan here, you can order it." ”
"You're ......"
"I said, I'll pay back the money of the Lao Ling family. In the early morning, he handed the money to Aunt Liu and put away the empty wallet.
"I'm not in a hurry to use the money, why don't you give this money to Sister Lao Ling first?" Aunt Liu said with a frown as she listened to the scolding outside.
They?
Ling Chen sneered: "Auntie, I'll give it to them, you have collected the money, the business card has also been collected, and I will leave first." With that, he pushed open the door and walked out.
When I went out in the early morning, I saw two people standing at the door of my house, it was my aunt Ling Huixiang and my cousin Su Xin, they were scolding and talking about something, and smashed the door a few times from time to time.
"Don't smash it!" Ling Chen's tone was very cold, if it weren't for the sake of blood relationship, he would have thrown them out by the neck!
Ling Huixiang and Su Xin turned their heads and looked at Ling Chen, who came out of the opposite door: "Who are you?"
Ling Chen sneered in his heart, they really didn't remember themselves, but this was just right: "I am Chu Xiu's distant nephew, how much does their family owe you?"
"You are also here to ask for debts? His family owes us 10,000 yuan, how much do you owe you?" Ling Huixiang asked without doubting him.
"10,000 yuan?" Ling Chen's heart was even colder, 10,000 yuan could buy out the family affection! Suppressing his anger, he said slowly: "I owe money to his family, if you want to be in debt, come back in a week, and then I will return the money to my Aunt Chu, and let her give you the money again." ”
Su Xin's eyes lit up with yellow hair: "How much do you owe their family?
Ling Chen glanced at Su Xin coldly, he had played with him many times when he was a child, but he didn't expect it to become like this now: "It's none of your business, if you want money, come over in a week." After saying that, he didn't bother to talk to them anymore, and turned around and went downstairs.
Aunt Liu saw that Ling Chen was gone from the cat's eyes, and she was relieved, she was afraid that the young man would have some conflict with Lao Ling's eldest sister. When I returned to the table, I picked up the business card casually, and was stunned, what a weird business card!
The business card depicts a black domino, next to which are two black gold totem fonts, which are not complicated or simple, I don't know what they are, and in the middle, the word 'Grim Reaper' is written, and below is a string of contact numbers.
"Why haven't I heard that the Lao Ling family has such a distant relative. Aunt Liu muttered, "Death, how could anyone have such a name." ”
In the early morning of leaving the community, I let out a sulk, and my parents and little sister came back a week later, so I found a hotel to live in first.
Ling Chen's mentality is good, he has survived thirteen years, and it is not bad for so many days. As for foreign debts, hehe, he is now afraid that those usury will not come to him!
The money in the wallet was given to Aunt Liu, and in the early hours of the morning he decided to go to a nearby bank to withdraw some money, and as soon as he walked a few steps, he realized that something was wrong and he was being followed!
