Lin Qingyou and Zheng Yumei knew that Xu Chunmai had not undergone a cesarean section, and they also knew that Lin Chuan had not borrowed any money.
But if I didn't borrow any money, why are debt collectors coming to my door?
"Da Chuan, this..." Lin Qingyou was unsure whether he should get involved in this matter.
Lin Chuan said, "If you want to see the excitement, go ahead and take a look, but other matters are none of your business."
And so, the group headed towards Lin Youfu's house.
From a distance, Lin Chuan could see a large crowd gathered in front of Lin Youfu's house.
Someone was yelling at the top of their lungs, "Is this your family's household registration book? Let me tell you, that kid Lin Chuan borrowed money from us. This is the IOU. Whether you can read or not, look carefully. Lin Chuan wrote it himself, signed his name, and put his fingerprint on it."
Those around could clearly see that 802 yuan had been borrowed.
"Eight hundred and two yuan! It's written clearly in black and white. Lin Chuan promised us that he would pay back the money within a month. If he couldn't pay it back, we would take your house and land first. Your house is indeed a bit small, but we won't complain. After all, you still have twenty acres of land. We'll reluctantly take it then."
Lin Fugui and Lin Youfu never expected that Lin Chuan would bring it up yesterday, and the creditors would come knocking on their door today.
Last night they sat together and discussed it, wondering if Lin Chuan was just fooling them.
If they find out that Lin Chuan is lying to them, they will definitely go and settle accounts with him.
Moreover, Lin Chuan took all the money from Zhou Xiuying's jar.
Everything is laid out here now.
Moreover, this creditor was burly and strong, and he always carried a knife on his waist...
Wu Chunhua was filled with hatred. "Lin Chuan is no longer part of our family! What right do you have to take our house and land! Go take Lin Qingyou's property; he's Lin Chuan's real father!"
Zhou Xiuying wailed there, "You wretched child, you wretched child! You owe us so much money, you want to kill us!"
The creditor grinned crookedly, "What do you mean by 'biological father'? He borrowed the money with this household registration book, and we only recognize this one. Let me tell you, I'm very good at recognizing people. I remember all six members of your family. We're here today to inform you that Lin Chuan doesn't repay the money within a month. If he doesn't pay back by then, we'll see you again!"
"Of course! If I have no money, no house, and no land, I can take this IOU and sue you directly. You can expect to spend the rest of your lives in jail!"
After the leader finished speaking, the group of people staggered away, cursing and swearing.
In Lin Youfu's courtyard, several people were left cursing and wailing.
Lin Chuan was very satisfied with the result. He waved to Lin Qingyou and the others, telling them to leave quickly after watching the show.
It's not appropriate to be cannon fodder at this point.
After finishing his business, Lin Chuan headed straight for Wangshan County.
After an hour and a half's journey, Lin Chuan went straight to Daliang Noodle Shop.
By this time, Feng Liang had already pulled all the meat back.
Upon seeing Lin Chuan, he felt as if he had seen a living Buddha.
"Da Chuan, you came pretty fast."
"Of course I'll be proactive about what I promised you, Brother Liang. Besides, it's also for my own benefit to earn more money," Lin Chuan said honestly.
Lin Chuan went into the kitchen, washed his hands, and got to work.
Remove the meat, cut it into pieces, clean the chicken, etc., then prepare the seasonings, braise the pork and ribs, add beef sauce, and cook the chicken broth.
"Brother Liang, just let this stew for now. I'm going out to buy some things and I'll be back in a bit."
Lin Chuan greeted them, picked up two baskets from the noodle shop, borrowed Feng Liang's bicycle, and went to the department store in the county town.
He bought several different pieces of fabric and made a set of clothes for Xu Chunmai, Lin Shuning, and his parents-in-law.
He also bought Xu Chunmai two pairs of thick socks so that she wouldn't catch a cold.
Then he bought a bottle of face cream, two clam oils, two boxes of malted milk powder, a bar of soap, and two towels.
Give the face cream to Xu Chunmai, and give one clam oil to Qian Jinhua and one to Zheng Yumei.
We'll talk about other things later.
He then went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some white sugar, brown sugar, peanuts, oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar—everything his family needed.
Lin Chuan spent a total of thirty-four yuan from the department store to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lin Chuan carried two baskets, which were full of things, and he also hung some things on the handlebars.
"Lin Chuan?"
Lin Chuan had just finished tying everything up when he heard someone calling him.
He turned his head and saw that it was his former high school classmate, a girl named Jiang Xueying.
Her father was the head chef of a state-run restaurant, and her family was already well-off.
The state-run restaurants in Wangshan County also have another source of income: special braised meat. Because it tastes pretty good, many people go there to buy it separately.
Because the secret recipe was in the hands of Jiang Xueying's father, Jiang Mingzhong, Jiang Mingzhong was very prestigious in the state-run hotel.
Without his secret recipe, and without selling these braised meats separately, the state-run restaurant's revenue would be significantly reduced.
Lin Chuan figured that Jiang Mingzhong must be taking a cut, otherwise his family wouldn't be so well-off on that meager salary alone.
"Is it really you? I thought I was seeing things." Jiang Xueying was very surprised.
In her memory, Lin Chuan was just a poor guy from the village. Back then, Lin Chuan had even said that he had feelings for her.
How could she possibly be interested in someone as poor and stingy as Lin Chuan?
When she saw this person had bought so many things, her first thought wasn't Lin Chuan.
How could Lin Chuan possibly have money!
But little did she know, it really was Lin Chuan.
"Yes, it's me." Lin Chuan's words were calm as he pushed his bicycle. "I have things to do, so I'll be going now."
Before Jiang Xueying could say anything, Lin Chuan got on his bicycle and left.
This annoyed her greatly, and she couldn't help but stomp her foot.
Lin Chuan clearly liked her first back then, so why is he ignoring her now?
Shouldn't we ask her how she's been doing all these years?
She found a man she felt was worthy of her, but he was a womanizer and could never take his eyes off young and pretty girls.
Now even a poor country bumpkin like Lin Chuan doesn't give me a second glance. Could it be because Lin Chuan knows I'm married too?
Thinking about this, Jiang Xueying felt that it must be so.
She got married herself, and Lin Chuan felt there was no hope left, so he avoided her.
