Chapter 102: Old Uncle Zhang's distress call
The meal lasted for more than an hour.
In the afternoon, Li Moran still needed to go to the hospital to take care of her father, so Liu Jian drove the former to Shenghua before leaving.
I just left and received a phone call.
The phone is a landline number.
When he saw this number, Liu Jian's heart jumped suddenly. He hesitated slightly, but finally connected.
"Hey, is it Liu Jian?"
"Uncle Zhang. β
"Liu Jian, it's great to hear your voice again!"
"Uncle Zhang, I miss you too. β
"Haha, I know that you kid has never forgotten his roots. We finally have a college student like you in the ravine, and I can tell people everywhere that you are our pride!"
"Thank you!"
Liu Jian was also a little excited when he heard the other party's voice, although this Uncle Zhang was still a little far away from their home, and he was also the only person in Tashangou who had a phone at the beginning, but the other party could talk to him so cordially, and he also felt a trace of inexplicable warmth from the bottom of his heart. He paused, and then said, "By the way, Uncle Zhang, is there something wrong with you calling me today?"
"Oh, yes. Liu Jian, there is one thing I want to tell you, your Aunt Wu's family has not been in a good situation recently, your old Uncle Wu accidentally broke his leg when he was working outside, but a mudslide broke out in the mountains before, although everyone is fine, but the geography of your Aunt Wu's house is not very good, but it was just buried! Moreover, didn't your old Uncle Wu owe tens of thousands of yuan to Zhang Laifa from the next village for treatment before he worked? Now this Zhang Laifa came to the door, saying that he would let Hui'er be their daughter-in-law if he didn't pay the money! Alasββ Hui'er Na Nizi is going to take the college entrance examination recently, I'm afraid I can't study with peace of mind, and the already unfortunate family is really a little unbearable to be like this now. β
"What, you said this kind of thing happened to Aunt Wu's family?"
Liu Jian's home is in Tashangou, he grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, and later when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, his grandfather passed away and became a loner. During this period, the village names of Tashangou were very helpful to their families, and the closest to his family was Aunt Wu's family, and Aunt Wu was usually the best, and she often brought some delicious food at home.
If there is anything else in Tashan Village that Liu Jian can't rest assured about, it is Aunt Wu's family!
It's just that I didn't expect their family to suffer such a misfortune!
"Yes, no one thought that Aunt Wu's family would be like this. Although our Tashan Village has always been poor and backward, and every family has its own difficulties, the big guys are always from the villagers, so we discussed whether to help Aunt Wu and her family a little bit by their own strength. β
"Of course it should be!"
Liu Jian said quickly, and there was also an indescribable anger in his tone.
This Zhang Laifa is a well-known bully near Tashan Cun, and he is also a loan shark.
Previously, this guy saw that Uncle Wu and his family really couldn't get by, so he looked at the opportunity for a mortgage, and later introduced Uncle Wu to go out to work, who would have thought that he would end up like this.
The most infuriating thing now is that this guy actually wants Hui'er to marry his stupid son.
You must know that Zhang Laifa's son is a famous nerd within a radius of dozens of miles, and he is usually stupid and stupid, if Hui'er really marries, wouldn't this life be over?
"I know that Aunt Wu usually doesn't hurt you in vain!"
Uncle Zhang over there was also slightly relieved when he heard this, after all, this is asking people for money, and he also knows that Liu Jian's child has never been easy, although he is now working in a big city, but the expenses must also be beaten, how much money can a child who has just graduated save?
"Then where does Aunt Wu and her family live now?"
"Now I'm arranging it in the dilapidated house of Lao Xiu's family, and I can barely live in it temporarily. β
"Uncle Zhang, I'll go back. β
"What? Liu Jian, you said you were coming back? Aren't you in Jiangnan City now?"
"Yes. β
Liu Jian responded, very worried about this, and hurriedly said: "How can I rest assured that such a thing happened to Aunt Wu's house? You tell Aunt Wu that I will go back now!"
"Okay, okay, but you don't have to worry too much. β
"When will Zhang Laifa come over?"
"Say it's before six o'clock tonight. β
Uncle Zhang sighed, and said worriedly: "Alas-Zhang Laifa, this guy has always been a person who is not easy to mess with, if you don't pay tomorrow, I'm afraid Hui'er will really be poisoned!"
"I'll be there by six!"
"What? How is this possible? Liu Jian, although your Uncle Zhang has never seen anything in the world, he also knows that Jiangnan City is far away from our Tashan Village, let alone Jiangnan City, even if you want to enter the village in the county now, it will take three or four hours, how can you get over by then?"
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry! No matter what, I will definitely return to Tashan Village before six o'clock in the evening! You tell Aunt Wu and their family, let them rest assured, I will never see Hui'er being poisoned!"
"Okay, okay. But be careful on your way. β
"Okay. β
Soon Liu Jian hung up the phone, but his face showed an unprecedented solemnity.
Aunt Wu's family is very good to him, and he will not sit idly by no matter what.
But as Uncle Zhang said, Jiangnan City is too far away from Tashan Village.
The straight-line distance between the two sides is at least 1,500 miles, and there is no direct airport between each other, so he can only take a train to go back. It takes more than 10 hours to get to the city by train, then a two-hour bus ride from the city to the county, and then a three- or four-hour tractor ride into the village, which takes at least more than 20 hours.
However, there were only four and a half hours left until six o'clock in the evening.
"There is only a helicopter left!" Soon Liu Jian hung up the phone, but his face showed an unprecedented solemnity.
