"Why did your brother come and borrow money from you for no reason? Also borrow so much. ”
Chen's mother had been a little uneasy when she got up this morning, and she had a vague sense of foreboding, remembering what happened on Sunday morning.
Chen Shaorong came to the shoe shop again on Sunday morning, and this time Chen's father and Chen's mother happened to be there, so he opened up and said that he wanted to borrow 200,000 yuan from Chen's father, but he didn't say what he wanted to borrow.
Father Chen stopped what he was doing and waved his hand: "Don't pay attention to him, this kid must have gone around to borrow money again and owed debts." Thinking of the old past, his eyebrows sank: "Don't say 200,000, even 200 yuan, I won't lend him, if he hadn't cheated all my money away at that time, we wouldn't have ended up in such a field." ”
Chen's father made a fortune doing business with others at that time, and originally thought that he could take his wife and children to live a good life, but he didn't expect to be cheated out of all the money by his wolf-hearted younger brother.
Chen's mother also remembered this past, and Rao is usually gentle and gentle temperament couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Your younger brother, it's really ......."
Chen's father picked up the hammer and tapped the heel of his shoe: "All the savings I saved will be left for Ah Xun to go to college in the future, so that I won't waste that unfortunate thing." As he spoke, he clutched his chest and coughed twice.
Seeing this, Chen's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help her husband calm down, and said worriedly: "Why have you coughed again in the past two days?" ”
Father Chen patted his wife's hand and reassured: "It's okay, it's like this when it's cold, it's old, don't worry." ”
"How can you not worry, your old problem hasn't flareed up for a long time, it must be because you have been staying up late lately." Mother Chen said angrily, and as soon as the words fell, she saw four or five tall men walking in outside the door.
"Alright, let's entertain the guests first." Father Chen stood up and walked in front of the man, "Hello, what do you need?" Our leather shoes here are all handmade and custom-made. ”
"Are you the boss here?" The man who took the lead was the first to ask.
"I am." Chen's father replied.
"Then do you know Chen Shaorong?"
Father Chen's heart sank, and instead of answering, he asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man stepped forward and said, "Don't care who we are, I'll ask you, is Chen Shaorong your younger brother?" ”
As soon as Father Chen saw that these people were tall and fierce, he knew that Chen Shaorong didn't know where he owed a debt, and he had provoked these people.
"I don't have this brother."
The man's eyes narrowed, and his tone was a little threatening: "Are you sure?" But Chen Shaorong told me that there was an elder brother who opened a shoe shop in Qianguan Village, and we looked around, and your family sells shoes, did you tell me? ”
Mother Chen looked at the fierce appearance of these people, and involuntarily stepped forward to grab her husband's arm, with a look of panic on her face.
Father Chen protected his wife behind him, looked at these people, gritted his teeth and did not let go: "I don't know the person you said." ”
"Okay, don't admit it." The man is not a vegetarian either, he raised his hand and waved it forward: "Brothers, smash it for me, smash it until he admits it." ”
As soon as his order was reached, several men next to him picked up the bench on the ground and smashed it into the shelf, and in an instant, the shoes on the shelf fell into pieces, and Father Chen immediately stopped them: "What are you doing!" If I don't stop, I'll call the police. ”
The man waved his hand to stop the movements of the others, and he sneered: "Okay, you call the police, let the police take us away, I have dozens of brothers in this area, you have the ability to call the police, I will fucking let them come to your store every day to smash things!" ”
"What the hell are you going to do!" Father Chen knew that it was unreasonable to talk to such a gangster, so he went straight to the point.
"Tsk, what are you doing, your brother Chen Shaorong owes us 200,000 yuan, and said you can pay him back, so we came." The man's feet rested on the stool and flicked his fingers, "Don't say that we are unkind, give a deadline, when will we be able to pay back." ”
Father Chen's face changed: "If he owes you money, he will ask him to go, I don't have that much money." ”
"I don't care if you have money or not, I'll give you a week, if you can't pay back the money after a week, I'll bring people here every day to make trouble, so that you can't do business!" The man retracted his foot, and with a wave of his hand, the other men followed him and withdrew.
Walking outside, a man in charge of liaison next to him came up and said, "Big brother, I ran away for Chen Shaorong, and now I can't find anyone anywhere." ”
"Then leave him alone, we'll keep an eye on this one and collect the money after a week."
After the group left, Chen's mother trembled and grabbed Chen's father's arm, and said anxiously: "Shaoshen, what should I do now?" ”
"Ignore them, if they come back in a week, we'll call the police." It's not that Chen's father is indifferent and ruthless, it's just that he doesn't have so much money in his entire net worth and savings, how can he pay off his brother's debts, not to mention their usual living expenses.
Chen's mother also knew the situation at home, her eyebrows tightened and she didn't say anything, but she faintly felt that this matter could not be stopped so simply at the beginning.
Chen's father squatted on the ground to clean up the smashed shelves, and told his wife: "Don't let Ah Xun know about this matter, he will take the college entrance examination in June, don't let him be distracted." ”
"Okay, I know." Mother Chen should come down.
Chen Xun came home from school at the same time as usual that day, and at the dinner table, he keenly noticed that his mother was a little worried, so he asked her what was wrong, but Chen's mother just waved her hand and said that she was fine, and Chen Xun only thought that she was too tired recently and didn't take this matter to heart.
At the end of February, there is a unified art examination in the province, only through the unified examination, can participate in the entrance examination of various colleges and universities, since Chen Xun promised Ning Chaoxi to develop in this aspect of art, naturally can not live up to her expectations, now as long as there is free time, he will devote himself to the practice of the unified examination.
A week later, Chen Xun took the admission ticket and took the car to the neighboring city to take the art unified examination, and that day happened to be the weekend, Ning Chaoxi secretly sneaked out of his home to see him off at the station.
"Chen Xun, you take the exam well, just do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Obviously, it was him who took the exam, but Ning Chaoxi was more nervous than him, and when he was nervous, he made the mistake of stomping his feet, Chen Xun rubbed her warm palm, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”
"Mm-hmm, come on, I'll wait for your good news."
Ning Chaoxi stood in place and watched the car drive away, she rubbed her cheeks, and watched the car carrying Chen Xun go away, her heart suddenly became empty, and she had an indescribable feeling.
On the same day, the group of men from last time really came again, Chen's father couldn't get the money, they began to smash the things in the store, he took out his mobile phone to call the police, but the mobile phone was snatched away and fell to the ground, the man stepped forward and grabbed Chen's father's clothes: "I'll give you a few more days, if you don't pay back the money, I'll let you know the consequences!" ”
This group of people angrily smashed things in the store, smashed all the shelves on the side, smashed several pairs of leather shoes, this month's business was not good, and now they are so troubled, passers-by dare not walk in, Uncle Li from the store next door came to see the tragic situation in their store, and said distressedly: "Who are you provoking, smashing so hard." ”
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, Father Chen waved his hand at him, hung his head and sighed.
After Uncle Li left, Chen's mother held back her tears and said: "Shaoshen, why don't we make some money and return it to them, it's not a way to make trouble every day, and our business can't go on." "This store is all the financial resources of their family, and without customers, their business will not be able to do it sooner or later.
As soon as Father Chen wanted to speak, he clutched his chest and coughed violently: "Ahem, cough, cough—"
Chen's mother panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "What's wrong?" Is it pain in your chest again? ”
Father Chen was helped by her to sit on a low stool on the side, and waited for a sigh of relief before saying, "It's not that we don't pay it back, we don't have so much money, all of it is used to pay off the debts of that stinky boy, how can we live." ”
"But there's no way to go on like this, they'll come again."
Father Chen shook his head weakly: "I'll talk about it later." ”
There are still about three months to go before the college entrance examination, everyone is seizing the time to review, preparing for the upcoming second-model exam, Ning Chaoxi played well in the last first-model exam, and the total score is nearly forty points higher than the first line, if she maintains such results, it is not difficult to get into the university in the same city as Chen Xun.
Chen Xun's art unified examination score is very high, and he can participate in the separate entrance examination of each institution, as long as he successfully passes the examination of the professional course, he will only need to focus on the results of the cultural class, but Ning Chaoxi thinks that with Chen Xun's score, it is already a sure thing to be admitted to the best art school in the country.
Approaching the college entrance examination, in addition to paying attention to grades, but also to start thinking about filling in the volunteer, Ning Chaoxi told her parents about the school she wanted to take the exam, she thought her mother would oppose it at first, but she didn't expect that she didn't say anything after listening to the college she wanted to apply for, but when it came to choosing a major, Ning's mother wanted her to study economic management.
Ning Chaoxi told her mother that she wanted to read Chinese, but Ning's mother did not delve into this issue with her, but said that everything would be discussed when her college entrance examination results came out.
"But I want to study Chinese, my mother means that I should study economic management and go to work in my uncle's company in the future." Ning Chaoxi looked at the people around him depressedly and said.
"If you don't like it, you won't choose, and you will be the one who will suffer in the future." Chen Xun touched her head and said softly.
"Well, that's what I thought too." Ning Chaoxi watched him bring himself into a China Telecom business hall near the school, and said curiously: "Chen Xun, what are we doing here?" ”
"Change the package." He said.
"Why do you want to change the package?"
"SMS fees are too expensive." Chen Xun told her so.
Ning Chaoxi thought that she had to send him text messages every night, at least a dozen messages a day, and there were hundreds of messages in a month, and it was good that she had free text messages, she didn't take into account that Chen Xun sent messages to ask for money, and when she heard the sound, she was immediately embarrassed.
When Chen Xun was queuing up with the number, he received a call from his mother, and the other party said to him anxiously on the other end of the phone: "Ah Xun, your father has entered the hospital, come quickly!" ”
