Chapter 26 Paying Back
On the way back, Meng Zitao thought to himself, he has the ability, as long as he has enough time, he doesn't have to worry about Lu Changdai's revenge at all, but the key, will Lu Changdai give him time?
"I don't know what Lu Changdai bought the statue for, I hope to find out that there is a problem with the statue later. β
Meng Zitao thought so, however, he couldn't sit still, since he couldn't reach the height that Lu Changdai was afraid of in a short time, then he could only improve his strength first, so that he could deal with emergencies to some extent.
He got the ancient method of Taijiquan, which is different from contemporary Taijiquan, and at the same time of fitness, he can also fight skills, but if he wants to achieve something, it is not something that can be achieved in a while.
It's all about time!
Meng Zitao sighed, in addition to making him feel weak this time, he also realized that he was too naΓ―ve to do things, and for the sake of temporary pleasure, he brought himself troubles that were difficult to solve.
However, since it happened, it is useless to regret it, but in the future, you must learn a lesson, and it is best to think more before doing things, and never happen to this kind of thing today.
In the next few days, Meng Zitao spent a lot of time learning boxing every day, and the results were also remarkable, and he estimated that at this pace, he would be able to learn all the boxing techniques in just half a month.
But Meng Zitao still felt dissatisfied, because this was just learning the boxing technique, and he didn't know when he would be able to do it until he could actually fight.
It's just that this kind of thing can't be done overnight, no matter how urgent Mencius is, it's useless.
Moreover, because of the focus on boxing during this time, Meng Zitao was not in the mood and time to go to the antique market, which delayed his money-making plan and gave him a feeling of losing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds.
After thinking about it, Meng Zitao felt that he couldn't go on like this, Tai Chi did have to be practiced, but it was almost enough to spend an hour a day, and his main energy should still be on antiques.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Tuesday, September 2, cloudy.
Today is the day when my father was discharged from the hospital, and after taking care of everything in the hospital, Meng Zitao's family packed up their things and took a taxi home.
"Whew! It's better to be at home!"
Meng Shuliang returned home and took a deep breath, his face full of smiles.
Meng Zitao took over and said: "Hehe, as the old saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own kennel!"
As he spoke, he took out a passbook and handed it to his father, saying, "Mom and Dad, this is what I gave you." β
"What are you doing?" Meng Shuliang took the passbook with some curiosity, opened it and looked at it, and his face showed an incredible look.
"What's wrong?" Xu Ping leaned over to take a look, and then behaved like her husband.
After a while, Meng Shuliang came back to his senses, raised his head and said, "Xiao Tao, what's going on, where did you get so much money?"
"Luckily earned. Meng Zitao smiled, told his parents about the house last week, and then said: "Dad, Mom, you take the 300,000 yuan, and rest at home in the future, you have worked hard for most of your life, and it is time to enjoy happiness." β
Counting the money from the sale of official hats and chairs, he had more than 500,000 yuan in his hand, so he gave his parents 300,000 yuan, and the remaining more than 200,000 yuan was used to pick up leaks and buy low and sell high.
Hearing their son say this, Meng Shuliang and his wife felt very relieved, their son was able to do this level, what were they not satisfied with?
The two glanced at each other, and Meng Shuliang said, "Okay, we'll take this money......
When Meng Zitao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Dad, this money is for you to use, you can spend it as you want, but don't use it on me, I will solve it myself in the future with the money I will use to open a store and get married." β
really said to Meng Zitao that Meng Shuliang's idea, in addition to a part of the money left for follow-up treatment, he really plans to use the rest of the money for Meng Zitao to open a store or get married in the future.
Although Meng Zitao said it, Meng Shuliang did not change his mind, he waved his hand: "Okay, I don't need you to teach me this, you can be busy with your affairs with peace of mind." β
Meng Zitao smiled helplessly, he knew that his father was usually very talkative, but as long as he decided something, it was difficult to change. However, when he earns millions, he must be able to change his father's mind.
Meng Shuliang continued: "Since our family is well-off, I want us to go back to the countryside and pay back the money they borrowed from your uncle." β
It is appropriate to repay the money, but Meng Zitao is opposed to his father's return to the countryside: "Dad, my mother and I can just repay the money, you better rest at home." β
Meng Shuliang said: "What am I doing at home alone? Moreover, the doctor didn't say that I should move more. β
Meng Zitao said: "It is right to move more, but you have the knife, and it has only been three weeks since you were full, do you think you can go back to the countryside in such a state?"
Xu Ping took over and said, "Lao Meng, can you stop talking to yourself all the time, even if you don't take care of your body, you have to think about it for our mother, right?"
Facing the condemnation of the mother and son, Meng Shuliang was immediately defeated and said, "Yes, I'll always do it at home." β
Saying that, he sighed regretfully in his heart, originally, his son said that he was going to repay the money, but the reason why he didn't agree was that he wanted to thank him in person after he was discharged from the hospital, but he didn't expect it to be successful.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Dad, you want to thank the uncle, they are not in a hurry, and when the New Year comes, let's go to visit together, and then the aunt will also come back, isn't it more convenient." β
Meng Zitao's aunt's name is Xu Guo, married to the north, and it is rare to come back, the last time Xu Ping called to borrow money, she borrowed 10,000 without saying a word.
This 10,000 yuan is not much for some people, but Meng Zitao's aunt is also a working family, in addition to paying off the mortgage, she also has to provide for her son to go to college, and the family is actually not very rich, and it is not so easy to save 10,000 yuan.
Because of this, after Meng Zitao got the 140,000 yuan, he returned the 10,000 yuan the next day, and Xu Guo complained about why he repaid the money so quickly.
Meng Shuliang said: "That's fine, counting it, your aunt has also come back for three years." β
Xu Ping sighed: "Yes, my mother has been looking forward to her coming back, and this year she can finally get her wish." β
In the afternoon, Meng Zitao went to buy some gifts, and the next morning, he and his mother took a taxi back to the countryside.
Meng Zitao's hometown is nearly two hours away from the city, and at eight o'clock, the mother and son got off at the door of Meng Zitao's uncle's house.
Meng Shuliang has only one elder brother, named Meng Shujian, the couple makes a living by growing vegetables and selling vegetables, at this point Meng Shujian has just come back from the field, and Meng Zitao's aunt is still selling vegetables on the street and has not returned.
Seeing Meng Zitao's mother and son coming, Meng Shujian was surprised, so he complained: "Brother and sister, why don't you make a phone call if you want to come." I went to call Mingdi and asked her to buy some food and come back. β
Xu Ping hurriedly stopped and said, "Big brother, we'll leave in a while, don't bother." β
Meng Shujian waved his hand again and again: "What are these words, it's hard to come back, how can you leave without eating?"
Xu Ping said: "Big brother, really don't bother, we still have to go to my mother in a while, Shu Liang's illness is not yet cured, he is the only one at home, we have to go back early." β
Hearing Xu Ping say this, Meng Shujian didn't want to force it, so he asked, "Then why are you coming back?"
Xu Ping motioned for Meng Shujian to enter the house, then took out the money and said, "Big brother, this is the money I borrowed from you last time, you count it." β
Meng Shujian took the envelope in his hand with some surprise, looked at it, and said with some doubts: "What's going on?"
Meng Shujian knew how much about his younger brother's family, but he really couldn't figure out why he came over to repay the money so quickly.
"This is Xiao Tao's luck to pick up the leak...... Xu Ping smiled and said the matter of Meng Zitao's leakage. Of course, she didn't say anything about how much money Meng Zitao made, she only said that it was enough for Meng Shuliang to treat his illness, which was also a wealth that was not exposed.
Thanks to the development of information now, newspapers and TV often appear in the story of someone winning the jackpot and someone getting rich overnight. Meng Shujian was only slightly surprised, and quickly accepted it, and said vigorously, good people have good rewards.
Next, the three chatted for a while, and the mother and son left gifts to leave.
Meng Zitao's grandmother's house is not far away, less than ten minutes' walk, and his grandfather and grandmother are both alive, and they are both nearly eighty years old.
When they walked to their grandmother's house, the second elder was sitting at the door chatting with the neighbors, and they were also surprised to see the mother and son coming.
Once inside, the old lady says, "Apple, why are you coming back today?"
Xu Ping replied: "The main reason for coming back today is to return the money to you." β
Xu Fuzhong frowned and said: "What's the urgency of money, the most important thing now is to cure the root cause of the disease, besides, don't we know the situation of your family?"
"Grandpa, I'm lucky, I made some money by picking up leaks some time ago. Meng Zitao hurriedly said with a smile.
Hearing that this was the case, Xu Fuzhong asked: "Is it the one who said on TV that he made millions of dollars after spending a few hundred yuan?"
Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Yes, but my luck is not so good, I earned hundreds of thousands, so I don't have to worry about my father's treatment costs at all." β
When the second elder heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and the old lady also clasped her hands and bowed: "It's really a bodhisattva blessing!"
Xu Ping smiled, took out the money, handed it to her parents, and said, "I'll go to my eldest brother to return the money." β
Xu Fuzhong waved his hand: "No, I'll call him over." β
Seeing that his father seemed a little unhappy when he mentioned his eldest brother, Xu Ping asked his mother, "Mom, what's wrong with Dad?"
