Chapter 37: Debtless and Light (Part II)
In the evening of the same day, after Li Hu's parents, Zhang Fang and Li Changming, returned home, they were almost not shocked when they saw so much money on the table.
The two of them didn't say a word, and quickly closed the door that had just been opened, as if they were in a war, looking terrified.
Li Hu saw that his parents were nervous like this, he couldn't help laughing silently, and said helplessly: "Dad, Mom, what are you doing here? Isn't it just some money, why are you so nervous?"
But Zhang Fang couldn't help but say it, and directly unceremoniously pulled Li Hu aside, and said mysteriously: "Xiaohu, you tell me honestly, where did you get so much money?"
Zhang Fang has no reason not to be afraid, you must know that her son has just graduated from college, if Li Hu's future is ruined just for such a little money, then it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Li Hu's family!
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhang Fang to let his son make a mistake, which will affect Li Hu's lifelong events, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Fang interrogated Li Hu, wanting to get some information from Li Hu's mouth.
Seeing Zhang Fang like this, Li Hu couldn't cry or laugh, he could clearly feel that Zhang Fang's extremely nervous mood at this moment was like a taut string.
Therefore, Li Hu couldn't help but shake his head like a rattle, and kept shaking his head, "Mom, you can rest assured for me, this money is obtained by selling medicinal herbs, and there is no dirt at all, you can just give me a rest!"
After Zhang Fang listened to Li Hu's explanation, he unceremoniously chose not to believe it, you must know that in Zhang Fang's opinion, how could there be such an expensive medicinal material in the world that could be sold at such a high price?
If Li Hu is not Zhang Fang's son, if he dares to talk nonsense to himself like this, maybe Zhang Fang will directly give him a big mouth unceremoniously, you must know that medicinal materials are all over the mountains, if you say that they are more expensive than gold, then wouldn't it be bullying the croppers to understand nothing?
Therefore, Zhang Fang directly took out a free hand, twisted one of Li Hu's ears, and said angrily: "Little fox, you are using this to coax children, right? You must know that although I dare not say such things as medicinal materials in other places, but in our Lijia Village, there are all kinds of medicinal materials everywhere! If you say that they are more valuable than gold, can I believe what you say?!"
Although Li Hu already knew that this would be the result in the end, but now that Zhang Fang twisted his ears like this, Li Hu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he felt pain, after all, he was already an adult, and Zhang Fang twisted his ears like a child, Li Hu still wanted to save face in the end.
Therefore, Li Hu pushed a little harder to make Zhang Fang twist his ears less forcefully, and then quickly explained to himself: "Hey, hey...... Mommy Mom...... Pain and pain...... Tap tap tap ...... In fact, this money is really obtained by me selling medicinal materials, but I happened to meet a big boss who knows the goods, and he is more generous, and then he even gave me so much money with a reward!"
Zhang Fang heard Li Hu's denial, although her heart was a little relaxed, she still refused to let go of Li Hu's arm, and asked again in disbelief: "Little fox, are you ...... You're not lying, are you? Could it be that you're robbing a bank, and you're going to use these lies to fool me now?"
At this moment, Li Hu really wants to cry without tears, this year is really true, even if he tells the truth, no one wants to believe it, so Li Hu had to be extremely patient and explained to Zhang Fang: "Mom, do you think your son and I are like the master who can rob the bank? This money is really obtained by me selling medicinal herbs, if you really don't believe it, you can ask Uncle Li Zhen, he is also present in this matter!"
Hearing Li Hu mention Li Zhen, Zhang Fang began to let go of Li Hu's ears slowly, and still stood there nervously in his heart, not knowing what to do for a while.
I saw that Zhang Fang looked a little panicked, and said with words in his mouth: "This ...... Hey, little fox, you said that you are really, so much money, if you don't keep it in the bank and just take it to your home, wouldn't it be easy for the thieves to worry about it......
After doing it for a long time, Li Hu finally figured it out a little, maybe when she explained it for the first time, her mother had already chosen to believe in herself, so she was not afraid that the money was of unknown origin, she was more worried that the money was not safe at home!
As soon as he thought of this, Li Hu couldn't help laughing, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Mom, in fact, I don't have the heart to put these money at home at all, the reason why I brought them back is naturally my reason, right?"
When Zhang Fang heard Li Hu say this, he couldn't help but react quickly, and hurriedly asked Li Hu: "Eh, you said that you brought this money back on purpose, so don't you know the truth that money should not be exposed?"
Li Hu obviously knew Zhang Fang's thoughts, so he didn't have the appetite to hang Zhang Fang, only to see Li Hu groan slightly, and then directly said unceremoniously: "Mom, there is a saying, the daughter will come back when she is gone, this money is not taken home and collected, and it will have to be dispersed later!"
Zhang Fang, who was originally a little unable to react, couldn't help but wake up after hearing Li Hu's words, and said with some confusion: "Little fox, what do you mean by scattering?"
When Li Hu saw his mother asking like this, he couldn't help but laugh softly, and said angrily: "Mom, have you forgotten, our family is a big debtor, you must know that it is natural to repay debts, we have owed money to other people's families for so long, we should always have to pay it back, right?"
At this moment, Zhang Fang began to suddenly realize, thinking about it carefully, his family borrowed money from others for Li Hu to go to college, unconsciously, but it has been two or three years, so it should be time to repay the debt.
Thinking like this, Zhang Fang walked into the room and said to Li Hu, "Xiaohu, you wait for me here for a while, since I have to repay the debt, then I have to take out the account book of our family's debts and compare it well!"
After a while, Zhang Fang took out an extremely ordinary notebook from the room, only to wrap it in a small piece of cloth, which could be seen to be very important!
Zhang Fang carefully opened the account book, and explained to Li Hu: "This account book is full of records of our family's debts, such as when and how much money was borrowed from whom, all of which are recorded in it, in case we are old and forget it, it will be troublesome, you see here, two years ago, our family borrowed 3,000 yuan from your Uncle Li Zhen, and it has not been repaid yet, and there is ...... here."
Hearing Zhang Fang's chattering non-stop, Li Hu not only did not feel any boredom, but felt a faint sense of warmth, blessings and hardships, maybe this is the true meaning of a home!
However, since this family has suffered so much for themselves, Li Hu feels that it is time for him to repay his parents well, after all, his current self, not to mention anything else, can let his parents live a stable life, it is no problem at all.
Therefore, Li Hu couldn't help but say directly: "Dad, Mom, since this time, we can pay off all our family's debts at once, then in the future, we will definitely get better and better!"
Li Changming, who was originally standing on the side, couldn't help but come over when he saw Li Hu's mother and son so sensational, and comforted the two of them and said: "These are all good things, why are you two so sad! Not to mention the current situation, we should have to think first, how to return the money, right?"
Zhang Fang, whose eyes were already a little tearful, couldn't help but quickly wipe the corners of her eyes after listening to Li Changming's words, and hurriedly echoed and said: "Yes, yes, Xiaohu, your father is right, we have to think about the problem in front of us!"
Li Hu saw that his parents had already revealed their true feelings, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, as if he had cut an onion, which made him feel inexplicably sad.
However, Li Hu still quickly cleaned up his mood, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Dad, Mom, since we have the account book in our hands, then we will first count the money owed by each family at home in advance, and then return the money to them from door to door!"
Li Hu's suggestion seemed to be very much in line with Li Changming and Zhang Fang's intentions, Li Hu just finished speaking, and the two of them acted directly, according to the amount recorded in the account book, the two began to draw out the bag of 100 yuan bills one by one.
Seeing his parents looking so anxious, Li Hu couldn't help but hurriedly joined them, and counted all the debts owed in full one by one.
After a short time, Li Hu's family divided the money according to the debts they owed, and Li Zhen and Zhang Fang didn't even wait for Li Hu to speak, so they took some money and rushed over overnight to return the money to others.
Seeing that his parents were so active, Li Hu couldn't help but shake his head gently, and he also began to use the remaining money to find people according to the instructions in the account book.
......
Through his own efforts, Li Hu finally paid off all the debts he owed, and he could clearly feel that he was very happy physically and mentally, very happy, really "debt-free and light", refreshed!
Therefore, Li Hu couldn't help but whisper: "From now on, I will be a comfortable person in the world, and I will be debt-free and light!"
