Chapter 289: Father Chu who cheated the corpse
From the second day of the Lunar New Year, Su Qingzhi began a hard career of visiting relatives.
In recent years, there are various means of transportation for relatives in rural areas, including ox carts, horse-drawn carriages, and bicycles with pedals and bars.
As for cars, they are not common in the countryside, and they can't run on dirty roads.
This year's heavy snowfall turned the lumpy road into a muddy road, which was slippery and muddy.
The Su family has no cows, no horses, and no small handholders, and only a bicycle is not useful.
There was no way, Su Qingzhi could only drive the No. 11 bus and go to relatives one by one.
He was wearing a padded jacket, copying a flat pole, and hanging bamboo baskets on both sides, inside which were fruit boxes and gifts.
From the second day of the Lunar New Year to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Qingzhi visited his relatives every day, and he never stopped for a day, and his shoes were worn out.
In previous years, Su Wei came to Zhang Luo for these entertainments, but this year he was admitted to university, according to their hometown, after graduating from high school, even if he really grows up, the store or something will fall on his shoulders in the future.
Su Qingzhi carried a flat shoulder, faced the wind, and walked on the muddy road of ice and snow slag that was pressed by the tractor, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the road was long and resistant.
He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Lao Tzu is a millionaire, and now he is actually mixed up like this bear......"
At this moment, a small truck rushed past him, splashing him with sewage.
Su Qingzhi was embarrassed, so angry that he scolded, and wanted to cry without tears.
When she arrived at her aunt's house, Zhao Qiuya came out and opened the door.
When the little cousin saw him like this, her mouth opened wide in shock, and she didn't say a word.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Su Qingzhi lied to his parents that there was something wrong at school, so he carried his bags and went out of the house.
During the winter vacation, he made an appointment with Chu Xin to meet in Shangnan City on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the two returned to Zhongzhou City together, and Chu Xin transferred from Zhongzhou to Yanjing.
Now that something has changed, he has to go back early.
The day of the first China Internet Anti-Virus Conference was the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and if it was too late according to the previous agreement, he had to go back in advance to make arrangements.
Chu Xin didn't buy a mobile phone, and if he wanted to contact her, he could only go to her house.
Su Qingzhi knows where Chu Xin's house is, the question is that it is appropriate to go to her house to find her now that it is the New Year?
But if you don't explain to her and leave directly, wouldn't it be more inappropriate?
For this strong and sensible girl, Su Qingzhi has always had a good impression.
However, he was also a little conflicted in his heart, because he didn't know what this good impression was, did he like her, or did he see Zhang Yixin's shadow from her?
Su Qingzhi was a little confused.
Chu Xin's personality is really similar to Zhang Yixin, which gives him an illusion, and he is afraid that he has a good impression of Chu Xin because of this.
If that's the case, then it's harming others and yourself.
Zhang Yixin is Zhang Yixin, Chu Xin is Chu Xin, they are two people, and no one can replace anyone.
Su Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally went to the supermarket to buy a few boxes of gifts.
For the New Year, it's not good to go to people empty-handed, and it's not strange to have many people.
After buying things, he walked towards Chu Xin's house with both hands.
Su Qingzhi knew the road, and there was no change in this area.
It's still the familiar shed, it's still the familiar dwelling.
The Chinese New Year festival did not bring any changes to the city, on the contrary, the shed area looked even more dilapidated against the backdrop of the festive and lively atmosphere.
The snow on the ground was black with sewage, and the northwest wind howled outside, but in the narrow aisle, an indescribable musty smell filled the nose.
Su Qingzhi was a little puzzled, they all said that one side of the water and soil nurtured the other side, how did such a living environment give birth to Chu Xinzhong's temperament of the spirit of heaven and earth?
It didn't take long to arrive, and he arrived at Chu Xin's house.
Su Qingzhi knocked on the door, and a man with a cotton slipper opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The man looks like he is forty or fifty years old, dressed very plainly, and looks quite handsome, and he can see that he was a handsome guy when he was young.
Su Qingzhi subconsciously asked, "Hello, does Chu Xin live here?"
The man looked him up and down, full of vigilance: "Who are you?
Su Qingzhi muttered in his heart, could it be that this person is Chu Xin's father?
Or how could he say "my family"?
However, he remembered that Chu Xin said that her father had died a long time ago, why did he come out again?
It's definitely not a fraudulent corpse, is this a stepfather?
"Hello uncle, I'm Chu Xin's classmate, aren't I just about to go to school, I just happened to pass by the city, so I came to visit her. β
Su Qingzhi said, lifting up the gift box on the ground next to him to show that he was not lying.
Father Chu also noticed those gift boxes, and his eyes quickly lit up.
Helios liquid, royal jelly, pure milk...... These are all good things, they cost a lot of money, who is willing to buy this?
"It turned out to be Xin'er's classmate, please come in-"
Father Chu warmly beckoned Su Qingzhi into the house, and took the gift box in his hand very attentively, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, what kind of gifts do you bring, you won't be like this next time." β
Su Qingzhi smiled and agreed, looked around, and found the clothes that Chu Xin was wearing when he came back from winter vacation, so he was sure that he had not come to the wrong place.
"Chu Xin, aren't you at home?" he asked.
Father Chu warmly beckoned him to sit down, poured him another cup of hot boiled water, and said with a smile: "I went out with her mother, and I will be back in a while." β
As he spoke, he looked at him from top to bottom again, and said, "Classmate, are you very familiar with my family?"
Su Qingzhi always felt that there was something wrong with the way he looked at him, and as for what was wrong, he couldn't tell.
"We were high school classmates, and we didn't know each other very well at the front and back tables at that time...... he said.
In fact, he was already quite familiar with Chu Xin, otherwise he would not have come directly to the door.
It's just that when he saw Father Chu for the first time, he couldn't figure out his temperament, so it was naturally impossible to tell the truth, and if he caused trouble for Chu Xin, it would be difficult to do.
Father Chu heard this and sighed: "Since you are really classmates, then I won't lie to you, Xin'er and her mother went out to take refuge together." β
Su Qing was puzzled: "Take refuge?"
Father Chu nodded, coughing, and kept sighing: "Xin'er's mother has always been in poor health, in order to treat her, she spent all her family's savings, not to mention, she also owes a lot of loan sharks outside, plus Xin'er goes to college, tuition and living expenses are a lot of expenses......
Su Qingzhi listened, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
When Chu Xin was admitted to Yenching University, he secretly used the county education bureau to fund her with a scholarship of 30,000 yuan.
That's a lot of money, enough for her four years of tuition, is it now gone?
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, classmates, I've worked three jobs alone over the years, it's easy to make ends meet and it's hard to support my family. β
"Xin'er, this girl has a high spirit, but people are also competitive, learning has been good, I just think that no matter how hard you can't be bitter about the child, no matter how poor you can't be poor in education, as long as she doesn't say it, I will provide her with school even if I smash the pot and sell iron. β
"But this is really difficult, Xin'er and her mother's disease has been hanging with medicine, spending money is like a bottomless pit, you look at our family, everything that should be sold has been sold, and now the house is surrounded by walls, what is the difference between those who are poor outside?"
Su Qingzhi knew about Chu's mother's illness, if the illness kept going back and forth, it would indeed be a troublesome matter, which would be tantamount to adding insult to injury for the Chu family, whose life was already stretched.
"The family owes a butt of loan sharks, and those people are all in the underworld, and they are ruthless, saying that if they don't pay back the money today, they will ...... They, alas. β
Father Chu looked bitter, held his head in his hands, and sighed again and again: "I really can't help it, so I let them go out to take refuge, if they are caught by those people, they will really ......"
Father Chu couldn't go on.
Su Qingzhi asked, "What will happen to them?"
Father Chu lit a cigarette, stopped talking, and after several times, he gritted his teeth and said: "They want to catch Xin'er to pay off the debt, and they don't embarrass her, as long as she goes to the dance hall to accompany her for a few days......"
In these years, accompanying wine is an elegant saying, and to put it bluntly, it is selling silver, which is a typical forced prostitution.
Su Qingzhi asked in a deep voice, "How much loan shark does the family owe?"
Father Chu glanced at him, hesitated slightly, and stretched out a finger.
Su Qingzhi was taken aback: "100,000 yuan?"
In his opinion, only if the money owed is too much, the loan shark will take the risk, and if he owes less, there is no need for it.
After all, forcing a good person to become a prostitute is not a trivial matter, and if it is accused, it will be a lot of trouble.
Father Chu listened to Su Qingzhi's words, and a mouthful of boiled water squirted out, and he was choked and coughed.
"No, not so much, a thousand dollars, a loan shark owes a thousand dollars. β
He hurriedly explained, and at the same time despised Su Qingzhi fiercely in his heart.
100,000 yuan, that's an astronomical amount, he can't even think about it, this classmate is good, he opened his mouth and said it, does he know what the concept of 100,000 yuan is?
What kind of person is this kid my daughter knows, there is no door on his mouth, it is too unreliable, and it is estimated that he will deceive the little girl.
Su Qingzhi didn't react for a while, a thousand yuan worth of loan sharks is so aggressive?
It's possible in the remote countryside, but the problem is, this is the urban area of Shangnan, and it's only a thousand yuan, although it is equivalent to three months' wages for ordinary workers, which is not a small amount, but it is not enough to make people defy the law, right?
This amount of money is completely unnecessary.
Father Chu saw Su Qingzhi open his mouth and was stunned, thinking that he was frightened, and sighed and said: "I know it's not a small amount, but there's no way, Xin'er Niang is sick, you can't just watch her being tortured and be indifferent......, right?"
Su Qingzhi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he took out a piece of money from his schoolbag, handed it to him, and said, "This is 1,500 yuan, you can take it and pay back the loan shark first." β
Father Chu's eyes widened, a little incredulous, this is fifteen hundred yuan, just give it?
This kid is too rich, isn't he?
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Chu Xin and Chu Mu walked in one after the other.
Seeing Su Qingzhi, both of them were stunned.
Su Qingzhi was also stunned, didn't he say that he had taken refuge, why did he come back now?
Seeing this, Father Chu quickly put away the money, stuffed it into the right pocket, and with a "bang", he pulled the zipper of the pocket tightly.
