Chapter 3 Home is where people are
Zhao Datong looked at his son in surprise. Although the crisis was approaching, he also felt his son's sudden change. If he didn't say the 20,000 yuan, why did he say he would pay it off tomorrow? No matter how ignorant he was, wouldn't he still know the situation at home? Go there to get 500,000 to pay it back tomorrow!
Zeng Wen turned his head and looked at Zhao An. The teenager was well developed. Like the boy of this age, he was a little thin, with a little moist and messy hair, some blood in his eyes, and his eyes were very bright, but there were not many differences.
After all, he is just a little flower living in a greenhouse. When he encounters a little crisis, he can't help but save his family's assets. Zeng Wen can already confirm that Zhao Datong is far from being exhausted. It seems that this family is just pretending to be a barren person. If he doesn't have some ruthlessness, he is afraid he will still want to bear it.
Zeng Wen had no hope of really getting all 500,000. After all, the principal was only 200,000, and the ones who got back the principal were made. Now he got 20,000 yuan, which is considered today's wages. It would be best if Zhao Datong could take out all the money tomorrow, otherwise Zeng Wen would not mind letting Zhao Datong see the means of forcing debts.
Zeng Wen didn't mind how credible Zhao An's words were. As long as he said it, Zeng Wen nodded and stood up: "Zhao Datong, this is what your son said... If you can't afford the money tomorrow, don't blame me for settled the score with your son!"
Zeng Wen has been lent to usury for many years and is very clear about how to threaten people to make people more scared. Since Zhao Datong wants to keep money for his son, it means that he attaches great importance to his son. But if something happens to his son, it is meaningless to keep the money? Such a simple and simple truth, I believe Zhao Datong understands that Zeng Wen walked past Zhao An and patted his shoulder.
However, Zhao Datong was so nervous that he was so nervous that he watched Zeng Wen walk out of the door and kick the security door and leave. Zhao Datong was not mentally aware of Zeng Wen's arrogance and hurriedly grabbed his son's shoulder: "Xiao An, what are you talking about? Where can we go to get the money to pay it back tomorrow!"
Zeng Wen patted Zhao An on the shoulder just now before leaving. Zhao Datong could understand the threat. If Zhao An was not present and did not speak, Zeng Wen would not cause trouble for Zhao An. But since Zhao An said that just now, Zeng Wen would transfer the threat to Zhao An.
It is indeed unreasonable for such people to say that they are unreasonable, but they often find such reasons to annotate their behavior, and pay attention to a teacher's reputation, even if they do things that are inhuman and moral.
"Dad, I have five million in my card... The 20,000 I just got it from the card." Zhao An handed over his bank card to Zhao Datong.
No matter how unbelievable it was, Zhao An had just taken out 20,000 yuan with real money. Zhao Datong hesitated for a while, called his wife out, and took his son and his family of three to the ATM to check the balance.
Seeing the numbers displayed on the screen, Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu both held their breath. Although the couple had been rich, they had never seen so much money in their lives, let alone lying in their own bank account.
"What's going on?" Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu did not feel too many surprises. Although they have been forced to crazy by money this year, the hard life has made the couple's biggest wishes to pay off their debts and return to their previous lives. However, when they really have such an opportunity, it makes Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu very uneasy.
Just the kind-hearted and ordinary ordinary people, Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu, were peaceful and peaceful, and did not want to get the wealth they deserved through their own efforts. In this way, the couple did not have a strong desire to possess money from their unclear sources.
"I don't know. I just remember that it seems like I still have a hundred dollars in this card. I will go and see it. I don't know how it turned out to be five million." Zhao An had no way to explain. If the time was more time, he could find a safer way to hand over the five million to his parents, but now he can only do this.
Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu looked at each other and took out the card. Zhao Datong put the card in his shirt pocket on his chest and patted it hard.
"How did you think this money came from?" Qin Zhu was puzzled and had many thoughts in her mind. She looked at her son and then at her husband. Although she had many thoughts in her mind, she couldn't make up her mind.
"We don't know such rich people, let alone give us so much money." Zhao Datong also had no idea. There were many people who added icing on the cake and few people who helped him in time. Over the past year, everyone who could borrowed them was borrowed, and more of them were too late to avoid him. Zhao Datong saw too many indifferent faces of philistines, and it was hard to believe that someone would come to help him at this time.
In any case, Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu couldn't imagine Zhao An going.
"Let's get through the difficulties first. As for the reason for the money, let's go and inquire slowly." Zhao An comforted his parents.
"Can this money be used?" Qin Zhu said with some concern, "Can there be a problem with the bank? Or is someone calling the wrong account?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow... Maybe the money will be frozen by the bank tomorrow." Zhao Datong smiled bitterly, "If it's still here tomorrow, we should at least pay it back first."
Qin Zhu thought about it and could only do this. If the money was made by someone else, or the bank made it wrong, even if he took it out, he would just go to jail, but he owed usury... but he would kill someone.
When he returned home, Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu were still worried. Zhao Datong packed up the TV. Qin Zhu walked into the kitchen and looked, then walked out and asked Zhao An: "Son, have you spent the ten dollars?"
"No." Zhao An shook his head.
"Your father and I are not hungry, so you can go buy something for yourself." Qin Zhu remembered that her son had not had dinner yet, but there was really nothing to eat at home, so there was still a little leftover rice, so she and her husband fry it.
"I'll go buy some vegetables." Zhao An remembered that it had not been eaten at home for a long time since the time had it been.
After a while, when Zhao An came back from buying a pound of meat and a small bottle of wine, Zhao Datong smiled and did not blame his son for being so luxurious. At least his son remembered that he hadn't drunk for a long time.
"This kid..." Qin Zhu touched her son's head and took the meat into the kitchen. She always thought that her son would eat better, and she would not care about how she was eating. However, when her son considered letting her family eat better, Qin Zhu was still very pleased.
The lights were still dim, and the smell of wine and meat had not risen in the dilapidated rental house for a long time. Zhao An poured a glass of wine for Zhao Datong and knelt on the ground: "Dad, happy birthday to you!"
Zhao Datong was stunned for a moment and remembered that today was his birthday. For a moment, Zhao Datong felt his eyes sore. He covered his eyes. The feeling of his heart came up. He patted his son's shoulder and took the wine glass, but he was choked and unable to speak.
"Today is a good day, come and eat food." Qin Zhu sat aside, feeling a rare sense of tranquility and happiness. Even if it reaches this level, the family will be together after all, the husband is good and the son is good. As long as there are people, what difficulties will you not be able to overcome?
"Good kid... have a drink with dad." Zhao Datong wiped his eyes and laughed. No matter what, he could at least have a day of peace. Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. My son seems to be growing up quickly, which is also a kind of harvest.
"Mom, I wish you good forever." Zhao An gave Qin Zhu another cup.
"Okay, okay..." Qin Zhu smiled and drank a drink with Zhao Datong, coughed slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her face, which was no longer white and had many markings.
Zhao An knew that his mother would blush when she drank some wine. Looking at her parents' appearance that only existed in her memory, Zhao An also drank a glass of wine... Compared to the wine brewed with the best quality ingredients, this kind of wine that costs a few dollars a bottle is of course not delicious at all, but Zhao An would rather accompany her parents to drink such wine for the rest of her life.
For too long, the appearance of their parents only exists in their own memory. They always feel that they only remember a rough outline, gradually blurring. However, when they see them again, they realize that their memories are so clear. Their voice, appearance and smile appear in front of them, without a trace of strangeness and alienation, and the feelings that are tied to their hearts made Zhao An finally realize that his parents are no longer only in his heart, and they are sitting in front of them alive.
When he found that his son had unknowingly held his hand, he looked at the couple in a daze, Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu looked at each other and smiled, and the obedient and well-behaved son was also back.
Since the family was ruined, due to various influences, my son's study has plummeted. Not only that, he has also become obsessed with games and often goes in and out of black Internet cafes, which makes Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu even more heartbroken while suffering from life.
But now looking at his son's various behaviors, Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu felt his changes. Perhaps it was the desperate situation in the family that finally made his son grow up in an instant.
Thinking that Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu were in a better mood. Seeing Zhao An taking the initiative to do housework, Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu lowered their voices and began to discuss.
"Tomorrow we will withdraw the money and return it to Zeng Wen, and give more money for my son to keep it as living expenses and college expenses in the future. The money will be hidden. Even if the bank comes to ask for it, we will return the remaining four million to the bank. Even if I want to go to jail, I don't have to worry about you mothers." Zhao Datong thought for a while and said.
"How can that be done!" Qin Zhu shook her head quickly, "We can earn back the money slowly, I don't want you to go to jail!"
"Where do you want to do whatever you want?" Zhao Datong smiled slightly, patted the back of his wife's hand, but made up his mind.
The atmosphere at home is a little relaxed. Although the inexplicable five million people feel more confused about their future life, in many cases, being able to solve the current worries is enough to forget to consider too many hidden worries in the future. If you can’t even overcome this hurdle in front of you, why are you talking about long-term considerations?
Zhao Datong and Qin Zhu told Zhao An to study hard, go to class tomorrow and rest early, and the couple went back to their room to continue discussing... Even though they knew that they couldn't discuss anything, they came.
Zhao An returned to the room and looked at his desk. After his parents passed away, he still lived in this dilapidated rental house for a long time. This was a place where he had no happy memories at all. However, he stroked the desk with a greasy feeling again, looked at the windows covered with spider webs, listened to the sound of rain outside the window, looked up at the yellow incandescent light bulb, Zhao An picked up a book casually, but felt a kind of warmth that was full of hope and longing.
My parents are still parents, and I am still Zhao An. I am just stronger in my heart and stronger in my ability, which is enough to make the family live happily and healthy, and no longer a down-and-out young man full of resentment in the wandering world.
The spring is chilly outside the window and there is a slight coolness in the room. Zhao An took off his shirt and looked at his body that looked thin during the development period... Such a body only takes about three months of exercise to achieve what he is satisfied with and can use some fighting skills.
