CHAPTER XX: A Million
Xu Qingying and the others left AFC first, and they seemed to plan to continue shopping in the mall.
After Qin Zhen and Qin Yi had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, they also left here with a large bag of leftover fried chicken burgers.
It also took forty minutes for them to take the bus back to the neighborhood.
On the way home, Qin Zhen saw two acquaintances.
With their parents missing and huge debts, it would never be a good thing for the two of them to meet acquaintances.
"Uncle and aunt, why are you here?"
The people who came were a husband and wife, named He Junjie and Xu Huiyue, who were friends of his parents and the mortgagee of the house they are now living in.
In other words, they have the right to take back the house where Qin Zhen and the others live now.
"Xiao Zhen, Xiao Yi, I was just going to find you!"
When He Junjie saw Qin Zhen and the two, he said with a smile.
Maybe it was because his intention was a little difficult to say, and a little embarrassment appeared on He Junjie's face.
Xu Huiyue also said with help, she took out two red tickets from her bag and handed them to Qin Yi.
"Xiaoyi, these two hundred yuan are the New Year's money that my aunt gave you, you see what you want to buy, let's talk to your brother." ”
Hearing her say this, Qin Zhen also knew that they were going to talk to themselves about business and break Qin Yi apart first.
He refused with a smile and said: "Auntie, we will understand the kindness, Xiaoyi She is already a high school student, what kind of New Year's money do you charge." ”
As he spoke, Qin Zhen's voice changed, he turned his head and said to Qin Yi: "Xiaoyi, you go to the nearby market to buy some lean meat, we just had a big meal, we can't forget Coco, right?"
handed the big bag of fried chicken burgers in his hand to Qin Yi, and after watching her walk away, Qin Zhencai continued to ask, "Uncle and aunt are looking for me this time, what's the matter?"
"Let's talk about it in another place!"
They came to a nearby café and waited until the coffee was ready, and He Junjie was also hesitant, unable to say what he wanted to do.
At this critical moment, Xu Huiyue took the initiative to open the topic.
"Xiao Zhen, your parents borrowed a sum of money from us before they disappeared and mortgaged the house and car to us, you know that!"
"Hmm. ”
Qin Zhen nodded.
To be honest, He Junjie and his wife are still very good to their brother and sister.
Faced with the Qin Zhen brothers and sisters who were panicked due to huge debts and the disappearance of their parents, they extended a helping hand and helped them get through the difficulties.
Not only did he not mention anything about repaying the money, but he also left the property that had been mortgaged to them for the Qin Zhen brothers and sisters to live in, and did not charge a penny of rent.
He Junjie and his wife run a small shop and have saved a lot of money over the years, and when Qin Zhen's parents offered to borrow money, they agreed very happily.
But this is not a small amount after all, and it may not be possible to make money forever in business, and now, they are short of money.
Xu Huiyue continued: "This house originally belonged to your family, and it is perfect for you to live in it, but recently, aunt and uncle, we have encountered some trouble in business......
He Junjie also spoke on the side: "That is, with our friendship with your parents, this house will let you live forever, and we will not have an opinion." It's just that in the business field, there will inevitably be failures, and our business is not very good now.
After all, this is your family, and I have lived there for more than ten years, and I believe you both have feelings, but this business matter, right!"
The two took into account their friendship with the Qin family, and they spoke very reservedly.
But the current situation is not optimistic, and they urgently need this money, otherwise they would not have lowered their faces to do such a difficult thing.
Qin Zhen knew that the debt owed by his parents had reached the deadline half a year ago, and because he couldn't pay it back, the house had also been mortgaged to He Junjie and his wife.
They want to take the house, and it makes sense.
"We can pay the rent!"
"Xiao Zhen, you are out of sight! We have such a good relationship with your parents, how can we ask for your rent!"
The husband and wife sang and harmonized, and finally told Qin Zhen the purpose of this visit.
"It's just a business thing, and it's hard for us to predict. Recently, there is something wrong with your aunt's business, and the cash flow is a little unstable, and it takes a lot of money, so what!"
Hearing this, if Qin Zhen didn't know the other party's intentions, he would be pretending to be stupid.
But after all, this is the house he has lived in for more than ten years, and the thought of being sold to strangers makes Qin Zhen feel a little uncomfortable.
"What uncle and aunt mean, I see. It's just that my sister and I are both studying, and it's hard to find a place to live for a while......"
He Junjie obviously also took this into account, he didn't want to force the Qin Zhen brothers and sisters homeless, he continued: "There is no urgency in this matter, it will take a certain amount of time for the real estate to be realized."
A month, how's that?
Give you a month, if you encounter any difficulties, you can also come to me and my aunt, where we can help, we will not refuse. ”
"Thank you, uncle and aunt. ”
After the matter was finished, the atmosphere here was also a lot more relaxed, and He Junjie and his wife finally took a sip of coffee on the table.
However, Qin Zhen asked another question.
"Uncle and aunt, I don't know how much my parents owe you?"
Qin Zhen only knew that the amount of money owed by their parents was huge, but he didn't know exactly how much, and He Junjie and his wife, who were not bad to them, had never mentioned this in front of him.
"Oh, why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"
Seeing Qin Zhen's extremely serious attitude, He Junjie had no choice but to say truthfully: "One million, your parents asked me to borrow money at that time, mortgaged the house and car, and the borrowed money was one million." ”
After speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly added: "Xiao Zhen, don't do stupid things!"
I know you have a lot of affection for this house, but you and your sister are both studying and have a bright future, and you will have the opportunity to make more money in the future, so don't do anything to ruin your future for this house!"
"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I won't!"
Qin Zhen said with a serious expression, for fear that the other party would not believe it, and he added: "Even if it is for petty intentions, I will not do stupid things!"
Hearing him say this, He Junjie and his wife's expressions were a lot more relaxed.
After saying that, there was no need for Qin Zhen to continue to stay here, he said goodbye to the other party.
After Qin Zhen left, He Junjie and Xu Huiyue continued to sit in the café for a while.
"You say, Xiao Zhen, he suddenly asked me how much I owed, what does this mean?"
"Could he be planning to pay back the money for Lao Qin and them?"
"How is this possible, he is just an ordinary student, he doesn't do illegal and criminal things, how can he earn a million in a short period of time?"
"Yes, but fortunately, Lao Qin mortgaged the house to us, otherwise if it fell into the hands of those people, it would not be so easy to speak. ”
"Alas, Xiao Zhen and the two of them are also quite miserable, with such parents. ”
"That is, greedy! By the way, how long have those loan sharks been sentenced?"
"Nine months, and it's coming out. ”
Immediately after, two more sighs.
"Alas. ”
