Chapter 157: I'm afraid of the word 'just'
After waiting patiently for a while, Xiao Li finally nodded slightly, and then shook his head and sighed, "Even though I want to take over this job now, I don't have time to do it, my mother can't do without people around me, I can't leave her alone in the hospital to make money, right?" ”
"Oh, it's okay, you can go and hire a nurse for the old lady, don't worry, people are more professional than you, I will pay you 10,000 yuan in advance, and it is estimated that after helping the elderly pay the cost of the nurse, there will be some living expenses left!" Looking at the dry expression on Xiao Li's face, Lu Ming felt that this person had many similarities with himself, and they were both people who had experienced great misfortune. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After listening to his arrangement, Xiao Li looked up at the sky and was stunned for a while, and finally sighed, "It seems that the way I live in this life is on carving, okay, tell me your requirements!" ”
"I want you to carve a fish dragon ornament, the material is the old material I found in the red sandalwood demolition house, I know that carving is risky, but to tell the truth, this kind of material is difficult to find now, I worked hard to find a piece, so you have to bear a lot of pressure!"
"Oh, no wonder, the old material of demolishing houses is out of fashion now, so many businessmen will no longer hoard it, and basically throw it away, but it is not difficult for me to turn into a dragon, this theme is one of my best crafts, so when will it start?" Since I agreed, there is no need to spend it.
At this time, Xiao Li's attitude made Lu Ming very satisfied, and after getting up and dusting off the soil on his body, he stretched out his hand and pulled him and said, "It's best to start work today!" After dragging him up, he took out a wad of bills from his schoolbag and handed it over
"This is an advance payment of 10,000 yuan, how about giving you 15,000 after the deed is completed?"
After Xiao Li reached out and took the 10,000 yuan handed over by Lu Ming, he nodded solemnly, "Okay, I'll go home after I arrange the things here, you can go to my house with the materials in about two hours!" ”
After the two discussed properly, Lu Ming left the hospital, these two hours are still more precious to him, after getting into a regular taxi, Lu Ming according to the debt documents given to him by Luo Shan's mother, began to repay the work, these days, he will go to the bank every day to withdraw tens of thousands, saving a total of 150,000 for three days, although it can't be paid off today, but at least seventy percent of the debt can be cleared.
After glancing at the address on the receipt, the driver smiled and said, "These are easy to go, and they basically live in adjacent places!" ”
"Come on, master, since it's easy to find, then please give me some oil, I have other urgent matters!"
"Then sit tight!" After saying this, the driver stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the yellow regular taxi instantly flew out like a sharp arrow.
There was nothing to say all the way, and the first one after arriving at the station was Luo Shan's uncle's house, the old man was seventy years younger this year, shaved bald, and when Lu Ming knocked on his door, the old man was polishing his crutches with sandpaper at home.
"Who are you? What's the matter with coming to my house? The old man's ignorant look made Lu Ming a little disgusted, but he finally had a task today, and he couldn't be as knowledgeable as him, so he replied with a smile
"Hello uncle, I'm a friend of Luo Shan, come and help her pay off the debt, according to what is written on the list, you should be 30,000 yuan, isn't it?"
When the old man heard this, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing, took off the white towel on his shoulder and wiped his bare head, "Yo, the money is here?" Then we have to make things clear, I'm a villain before a gentleman, come, boy, look at this! I've always carried this thing with me," he said, as the old man pulled out a note from his pocket and handed it over.
Lu Ming took it and looked at it, and the note had Luo Shan's mother's signature on it, which probably meant that he borrowed 30,000 yuan for one year, with a total interest of 5,000 yuan!
"Guy, you're more suitable than a loan shark, yes, thirty-five is thirty-five thousand!" As he spoke, Lu Ming took out three thick stacks of banknotes from his pocket, and then singled out five thousand and handed them over
"Will you count?"
After the old man took the money and counted it, he grinned, "Hehe, this is much better than depositing in the bank, young man, do you want to drink saliva?" ”
"Forgive, repay the debt, it's right, okay, you collect the money, I will collect the IOU!"
"It's boring, please, don't forget to bring one to my sister! I won't give you this old arm and leg! With that, the old man pushed the door open.
Lu Ming was really too lazy to stay with this kind of person who had no family affection for a minute longer, so he buckled his shoulder bag and turned his head and walked out.
The situation of these relatives in the series is basically similar to this one, all of which are borrowed by Luo Shan's mother at a high interest rate, but when the gang collected the money, they were not very satisfied, so far Lu Ming was glad that he did not have such a nest of relatives, and secretly swore in his heart that if he obtained Luo Shan one day, he would let her live a good life, as for the relatives of these money strings, none of them remained, and all of them were cut off.
But at this time, he can only think about it, after all, he and Luo Shan are still far away from this step, after the money in the bag was emptied, Lu Ming took out the list and looked at it, seven have been paid off, and the remaining few can be cleared the day after tomorrow.
After returning to school, Lu Ming glanced at the time, fortunately, just an hour and a half had passed, after moving the old materials of the red sandalwood demolition to rent, he commanded the driver and drove directly to Xiao Li's residence.
When he got off the car at the entrance of the alley, Xiao Li had already been waiting at the door, saw him coming, walked over in three or two steps, and moved the old piece of demolition material into the courtyard with him, and finally put it on the table, Xiao Li began to look up and down, knocking on the east and looking west, and finally put his ears on the surface, and kept moving the position along the sound of his fingers hitting the wood, until after the last knock, Xiao Li's face gradually became solemn.
Seeing this, Lu Ming knew that there must be a reason for this, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and asked, "Master Li, what's wrong?" Could it be that the material is not right? ”
Xiao Li shook his head after contemplating his eyebrows and thinking for a while, "The age of the material is no problem, it is definitely the old material of the red sandalwood house demolition, but it is just ......"
As soon as he heard the word 'just', Lu Ming's heart immediately cooled half, and he was afraid that he would give you a turn in the back if he said any good words, just like when he went to the doctor, the doctor said to you with a solemn expression after a big physical examination around you, "On the whole, there is no big problem, but this stomach is ......" If the timid patient could faint at that time, Lu Ming's eyes were facing a similar situation.
"Brother Li, it's not been a day or two since we got to know each other, you don't have to hide it from me if you have something, just say it!"
