Chapter 96 The Gu family finally settled their debts!
As soon as Gu Tianfeng finished speaking, the atmosphere became quiet.
Gu Tinghuai and Gu Xihuai happened to hear these words when they walked in. They looked at each other and their hearts sank.
Gu Tinghuai knew that Gu Yuehuai went to Zhoulan City to sell jewelry, but he didn't know how much money he made. He had occasional expenses during this period, and coupled with the money Gu Ruihuai owed for surgery, he was afraid that he couldn't spare more money at the moment.
This person is so unlucky that even drinking cold water will get his teeth stuck.
Gu Zhifeng was not worried. After all, he knew the things his daughter had. Although he didn't know how much she sold them for, it should be more than enough to cover the bill. It was just that when he suddenly heard his eldest brother mention it, he was unable to react for a while.
"Uncle... this..." Gu Xihuai opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Gu Yinfeng: "Zhifeng, my brother and I have lent you this money for a while, and we are only here to ask for it now because we are in financial difficulty. You can't say you don't have it, right?"
Gu Yinfeng's tone was a little bad. She was a smart person. From the expressions of the kids, she knew that this family was still the same as before, a poor family who couldn't even get enough to eat. If she had known this earlier, she shouldn't have been soft-hearted and lent them the money!
Gu Tianfeng also frowned. If he didn't get the money back today, his wife would come to his house in person tomorrow.
After all, he also took into account the brotherhood. His wife had a hot temper. If she really came to visit, she was afraid that the relationship between the two families would be completely ruined. The best outcome would be to get the money back today.
Thinking of this, he organized his words and said, "Zhifeng, your eldest sister's two daughters are going to the countryside to join the production team. We are going to prepare a table at the state-owned restaurant to send them off. You say, as the eldest uncle and aunt, we can't go empty-handed, right?"
"My eldest brother-in-law's family and friends are all of high status and position. We will not lose the battle even if we lose the people."
"Your second sister and I thought of this. We each took fifty dollars and installed them for our two nieces."
Gu Yinfeng nodded in agreement. After all, she only had one official relative. If she didn't win him over, how would she find help in the future? Nie Peilan was already powerful. If she didn't make some effort, it would be a waste of this relationship.
Hearing this, Gu Zhifeng couldn't help but gasp: "Fifty per person?"
To be honest, he is also an uncle. Does he have to pay this money too?
Gu Yinfeng couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw Gu Zhifeng's fussing look. She thought that the Gu family was once a well-known landlord and wealthy family. Look at how narrow-minded her own son is now... Tsk, things really change.
She said, "Zhifeng, fifty is not a lot for my eldest sister's family! Anyway, my eldest sister didn't invite you, so you can save the money."
Gu Yinfeng's tone showed a hint of contempt, which made Gu Tinghuai and Gu Xihuai look gloomy.
Gu Zhifeng was also a little embarrassed. He rubbed his hands, not knowing what to say.
At this time, Gu Yuehuai went into the room and came out with a cold voice: "Uncle, Second Aunt, don't say anything more. Take out the IOU. Let's settle the accounts today."
Hearing this, Gu Yinfeng asked suspiciously, "To settle it? Do you think it's settled if you have money?"
Gu Yuehuai curled his lips and opened the paper bag in his hand, revealing a neatly stacked stack of big unity notes.
She shrugged and said calmly, "IOU."
"Hiss——" Gu Yinfeng couldn't help but gasp when she saw the thick stack of money.
She looked at Gu Yuehuai in shock, then looked at Gu Zhifeng. After a while, she couldn't help but smile flatteringly, "Zhifeng, where did you make such a fortune? If you have any way to make money, don't forget to let my second sister know, okay?"
Even with Gu Tianfeng's taciturn personality, he couldn't help but be shocked.
He worked in the county meat processing factory. He had no worries about food and drink and could eat meat every meal. He lived the best life except for his eldest sister, but the family could not save much money throughout the year.
A few years ago, when Gu Zhifeng came to borrow money, if the interest rate hadn’t been so high, I’m afraid his wife wouldn’t have agreed.
And the stack of money in Gu Yuehuai's hand now is at least two or three hundred! Could it be that as Yinfeng said, the Zhifeng family made a fortune? Otherwise, there is really no way to explain the origin of this money!
Gu Zhifeng stared blankly at the money in Gu Yuehuai's hand and didn't hear what Gu Yinfeng said.
Although he knew those things were valuable, he was still shocked when he actually saw them. Since the new society, the family has always had no spare money, and after building a new house, they often went hungry. So much money was really unbelievable.
Gu Tinghuai and Gu Xihuai also took a deep breath and stared blankly at their sister who was holding the money in her hand with a calm face.
Suddenly, this sister who used to have no shining points became taller.
"Uncle, aunt, please take out the IOU." Gu Yuehuai didn't have time to chat with others. Ever since her rebirth, she had been thinking about settling the debts so that her family would no longer bear the huge pressure. This day has finally come.
After hearing this, Gu Tianfeng and Gu Yinfeng looked at each other and took out the IOU from their inner pockets.
Gu Yuehuai took it and looked at it, then said, "Uncle's principal is fifty yuan, and Second Aunt's is fifty yuan. Each person has an annual interest of five yuan. It has been three years and eight months so far. I won't talk about the remaining four months. Seventy yuan per person, am I right?"
Gu Yinfeng was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "That's right, seventy, that's seventy!"
Gu Yuehuai nodded, counted out the money one by one, and handed it to Gu Tianfeng and Gu Yinfeng: "Uncle, Second Aunt, please count it. If there is no problem, I will tear up the IOU."
As soon as she got the money, Gu Yinfeng took the lead in counting it with saliva on her face, and said cheerfully: "Tear it up, tear it up."
Gu Tianfeng coughed lightly and put the money into his pocket. It was really unexpected that he could get back the money he was owed smoothly. What's more, he got not only the principal but also the interest. He was relieved at this.
Seeing that there was no problem, Gu Yuehuai tore up the IOU and threw it into the stove.
It's better to be careful.
As the IOU was completely burned in the flames, from now on, all the external debts of the Gu family were paid off. For the Gu family in this life, it was a historic development and progress.
Gu Zhifeng was filled with complicated feelings. He couldn't help but walk to Gu Yuehuai and wanted to say something. But in the end, he didn't say it. He just raised his hand and patted her shoulder gently. He didn't expect that in the end it was his daughter who helped the family pay off the debt.
Gu Tinghuai and Gu Xihuai looked at each other. There was complexity, joy, and unstoppable relief in their eyes.
Gu Zhifeng thought for a moment and then said, "Brother, Second Sister, why don't you stay for dinner?"
The four siblings grew up together, but their relationship became less close after their family fell into poverty. Although they said they were in contact, in fact, the number of times they met each other throughout the year could only be counted on one hand.
Today, he was finally free from the debt and could sit down and have a meal with others in peace and as equals. He didn't want to miss this opportunity.
