Chapter 16 Debt Collection
After getting off work, Lianyue didn't go home directly, but took the subway to the south of the city.
The original owner was a native of Jiangcheng, and was born in a remote beach town in the south of Jiangcheng since he was a child.
Many relatives in the family also came out of Tanshi Town in the early years to work in the city. After years of struggle, most of them also have their own houses in various parts of Jiangcheng. Of course, most of the relatives mainly settled their families in the southern part of the city.
In the past two months, through the relationship between several cousins and sisters in the family, I found the contact information and current home address of "the uncle who owes money and doesn't pay it back".
The reason why I decided to go directly to the door to collect debts was also due to the consideration of months.
First of all, because there is no phone number from the distant cousin, Lian Yue can only contact the other party by sending messages or WeChat calls. Although the other party did not delete her friends, she rarely replied to messages, and when she replied, she was crying poor and selling miserably, and she was determined that she had no money in her hand and could not pay her back.
Secondly, the rent is about to be paid in the past two days, and Lianyue really can't think of any faster way than urging him to pay back.
Now she is faced with three choices:
First, like the original owner, he kept sending a message to urge the other party to repay the money;
second, go directly to the cousin's parents and ask them to return or let them urge;
Third, find the cousin's address and go directly to the door to ask him for money.
The first choice is not in the scope of consideration for months, as for the second one, it is too aggrieved, and she throws the choice to the other party's parents, and one accidentally seems to be wrong with her, which is not very good for the original parents, and it also worries them in vain. Then, there is only the third option that is most suitable for her.
What's more, she can't pay the rent now, and the bathroom also needs money to repair, so she can't wait to be a good person all the time.
......
In the living room, the TV is on, playing a romantic comedy in costume that I don't know which group of little fresh meat is playing, and the dialogue of you and me is staged.
Chen Yiyan arranged himself into a big character and spread it comfortably on the sofa. He held the mobile phone in one hand, his thumb kept swiping, and as the screen swiped through all kinds of video clips, the expression on his face changed from frowning to exaggerated, "fluttering" and laughing, happy, and twisting a lit cigarette in the other hand, putting it in his mouth and taking a sharp puff, and it was another burst of swallowing fog.
In the kitchen, his wife Hu Manman stewed the meat into the pot and covered the pot, so she had the spare energy to glance at the living room and see her daughter sitting in the children's walker, scurrying around the house and having a good time, so she was relieved.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw that his husband was playing with his mobile phone and swallowing the fog on the sofa, so he was even more angry, so he turned off the fire and rushed to the living room.
"Can't you just look at the child? Stop playing with your phone? ”
"! Suddenly so loud, you're going to scare people to death. ”
"How many times have I told you, small children, don't smoke in the house!"
"The child is not playing by himself, it's not that I haven't seen it, and the anger is so big every day. Can't you just talk well? ”
Taken aback by his wife's sudden reprimand, Chen Yiyan straightened up angrily, picked up his mobile phone, and walked straight to Chaochaotai, and pulled the glass door of the balcony with his hand, and went to the balcony to continue to swallow clouds and smoke.
Hu Manman looked at her husband who was lying on the windowsill outside the glass door and continued to smoke, and a feeling of helplessness rose in her heart for no reason, and she didn't know whether it was for herself or for this family.
Squatted down, leaned over to her daughter's side, pressed her forehead against each other, babbled with her babbling daughter, held both sides of the walker, and pushed her towards the kitchen door.
put his daughter in a place where he could see it, and Hu Manman had the heart to go back to the kitchen and continue cooking.
......
There was a knock on the door.
Hu Manman, who was eating while looking at the children, raised his eyes to look at Chen Yiyan, and both of them had surprised expressions on their faces, as if they didn't understand who would knock on the door at this time.
"Are they coming?"
"I don't know, they didn't say they were coming over today."
"You're going to see?" Hu Manman raised his chin and motioned to open the door, and her husband went to open the door.
......
"Who?" No one answered outside, Chen Yiyan impatiently opened the door, but was stunned on the spot.
"I didn't bother you when I came to the door." Lian Yue asked him with a smile that she thought was gentle.
After being stunned for about two or three seconds, Chen Yiyan came back to his senses, forced a smile, and replied, "No, no, why did you come to me today?" ”
Although he was asking, it can be seen that his actions did not mean to let Lian Yue enter the door.
"If you don't bother, I've wanted to visit your house a long time ago." Lian Yue expected him to react like this, but he didn't mind, stepped forward and pressed the door, pushed the door violently with his strength, and walked straight inside.
Chen Yiyan was unprepared for a while, and his whole body was taken backwards, but he couldn't stop Lian Yue's footsteps from entering the door.
didn't change his shoes, Lian Yue stepped on the smooth floor of his house very calmly, walked into the dining room, and saw Hu Manman who was still eating at the dining table, and hurriedly grinned, and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that you have moved to a new house, and I have long wanted to come to visit, so I didn't disturb you to eat." ”
"Why don't you welcome it, please inside, please inside." Although Hu Manman was stunned by Lian Yue, who suddenly broke into his own talk, he hurriedly got up to welcome.
Lian Yue naturally smiled and agreed, followed the direction of her finger, strode into the living room, and after a while, the master didn't speak, and found a comfortable position on the sofa and sat down.
Hu Manman seemed to notice that her comer was not good, and swept the outdoor shoes that Lian Yue was wearing, only ignored his eyes, pulled the sleeve of her husband who walked in later, and said, "Yiyan, why don't you introduce it, who is this sister?" ”
Chen Yiyan was embarrassed, as if he was struggling with how to explain the current situation, and only sighed and explained: "Oh.. Oh, she's the granddaughter of the eldest aunt's family, and she came when the child was full moon, you may have forgotten. ”
"Oh oh, oh, it's my aunt's sister, you see my memory, I don't remember it too well... Ahem, sister, have you eaten? Out of a woman's intuition, Hu Manman noticed that the atmosphere of the current scene was a little wrong, and subconsciously played a round to ease the atmosphere.
It seems that his wife does not know about it.
So, Lian Yue deliberately stretched out her head to look at the dining table, and the couple followed suit, and at the dining table, the children were still sitting on the special chair for infants and toddlers.
Turning his head, Lian Yue said to Hu Manman: "Sister-in-law, I'll talk to my brother about something, you see that you haven't eaten and played, and the child has no one to take care of, so you don't care about me." ”
Hu Manman's eyes swept back and forth between her husband and Lian Yue's bodies, and saw that Lian Yue seemed to be concerned and calm, but her husband was obviously a little nervous and weak-hearted.
