Chapter 17: The Seventeenth Day After Traveling Back



Shi Fengyue's words gave the Jiang family reassurance.

In the office, Shi Fengyue was conducting a more detailed medical examination on Jiang Zhuo, with Jiang Chen accompanying him. Yang Si pressed her lips again and again, and only after the nervousness passed did she realize she was thirsty. She whispered something to Jiang Chen and quietly left the office.

After drinking a glass of water in one breath, Yang Si could hardly hide the joy on her face. She walked back and forth holding the bag in her hand. After hesitating for a long time, she finally couldn't help laughing out loud. After running to the bathroom to wash her face, she looked at herself in the mirror and her depressed look was swept away. The corners of her lips raised.

That’s great.

The bad days for this family are finally over.

Once Jiang Zhuo gets better and his son is admitted to a good university, everything will be fine at home.

Yang Si smiled, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She covered her mouth and squinted her eyes, crying and laughing at the same time.

The past few months have been the most desperate and difficult ones she has ever felt, but she dared not shed a tear. Her husband was in the most pain and sadness, and her children were at a sensitive and fragile age. If even she could not support the family, then the family would really collapse.

But she was also afraid. She was afraid that her husband would never recover and become depressed and decadent, unable to stand up. She was afraid that her children would be affected by things at home and distracted at such an important moment, and fail the college entrance examination a year later. She was also afraid that she would not be able to bear the burden and really let the family collapse.

She had been gritting her teeth and holding on, preparing for the worst, but when she saw hope in the moment of despair, how could she not be ecstatic.

Yang Si quietly went to a secluded little garden alone. She sat on a bench, covering her mouth and crying and laughing at times, just wanting to vent all the depression she had been feeling during this period of time.

After crying, she fell silent again.

My husband's leg can be saved, and he must be treated.

But the previous car accident had already consumed most of the family's savings, and now all the family's savings add up to only 30,000 yuan. Although the specific cost of the operation is still unknown, Yang Si also knows that the money at home is far from enough to support his surgery. Moreover, the child still needs to go to school and eat, so how can the family not have any savings?

The most urgent task is to get a sum of money as soon as possible to cover the cost of Jiang Zhuo's surgery. However, such a large sum of money is not something that can be obtained just by saying so.

Yang Si went through the people he could borrow money from in his mind, and finally found that he could only borrow another 30,000 yuan at most. This was already the limit of what his friends could support. Most families nowadays are not wealthy, and being able to come up with a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan is already considered ample.

In fact, before Jiang's father was injured, the Jiang family was considered well-off, and a savings of more than 200,000 yuan was considered a very good family at that time. Because of this, every time the Yang family came to borrow money, although Jiang Zhuo was angry, he never really got angry about it. He was not angry because of the money, but because he was angry that the Yang family treated Yang Si as an ATM, but did not feel sorry for her or treat her well.

Yang Si knew all these, and it was precisely because he knew these that he wanted to sever ties with his family. However, before he could do anything, Jiang Zhuo got into trouble, and the Yang family members looked like they were taking advantage of his misfortune.

Jiang Zhuo is in urgent need of medical treatment now. If the Yang family can pay back the money, it will solve the Jiang family’s urgent need. But will the Yang family pay it back?

Thinking of what happened the last time she and Jiang Chen went to the Yang family, Yang Si gritted her teeth. Although she had severed ties with her parents and brother, she had to get the money back!

If there was no hope for Jiang Zhuo's leg, then she would have to give up the money. But now that there was a glimmer of hope, she had to seize it no matter what. However, she still needed to think carefully about how to get the Yang family to pay back the money.

Thinking of this, Yang Si couldn't help but smile. No matter how difficult the family's situation was, as long as they saw hope, she believed that their family would be able to overcome the difficulties and move on.

When Jiang Chen found Yang Si, he happened to see her smiling with red eyes.

"mom."

Yang Si quickly wiped his eyes before turning to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled and sat down beside her, saying softly, "I know you are happy, and I am happy too."

"Yes." Yang Si smiled relaxedly: "Your father's leg can be cured. Mom is so happy."

"Mom, were you just thinking about Dad's surgery and subsequent treatment costs?"

Jiang Chen turned his head to look at her, his clear eyes were insightful, and Yang Si, who wanted to find an excuse to hide it, opened her mouth but could not utter a word, and finally could only nod.

But she still didn't want her child to worry about it, so she smiled and said, "Mom is indeed thinking about it, but you don't have to worry, Mom already has a solution."

"What's the solution?" Jiang Chen had always been straightforward with his parents since he was a child. He would tell them everything, and it was the same now: "Mom, do you want to sell the house or ask the Yang family for money?"

Yang Si was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Chen to guess what she was thinking so clearly.

Yang Si knew very well how low the possibility of asking the Yang family for money was, but Jiang Zhuo's legs could not wait any longer. If he really couldn't get the money, selling the house would be the fastest way to make money, but... if that happened, it would be very troublesome for Jiang Chen to go to school.

That was the point she had been hesitating about.

Jiang Chen naturally knew what Yang Si was thinking, and even knew what she was hesitating about.

In the first life, after the Jiang family's unremitting search, a doctor finally agreed to help Jiang Zhuo with surgery, but he also said frankly that he could not guarantee that Jiang Zhuo could stand up, and the success rate was very low. He hoped that the Jiang family would think carefully before making a decision. At that time, it had been more than a year since Jiang Zhuo's car accident, and the family's savings had long been gone. Naturally, the Yang family could not get any money, but for this slim hope, Yang Si and Jiang Chen discussed it and resolutely chose treatment.

At that time, Jiang Chen naturally agreed to the treatment. How could the family house and his studies be more important than his father's legs? He could buy another house after selling it, and he could repeat his studies if he was delayed. But Jiang Zhuo's chance to stand up might only be this once.

However, Jiang Zhuo had already given up hope at that time. He did not want his family to be burdened any more because of him, and firmly disagreed to sell the house. He even had a big quarrel with Yang Si about it. But later, Yang Si still sold the house secretly without telling him, and then coaxed and persuaded Jiang Zhuo into the operating room.

That operation was not successful.

The failure of the operation and the lack of a stable place to live were the last straw that broke the camel's back. Jiang Zhuo felt that he was a burden to his family and committed suicide on a quiet night.

Jiang Chen still remembers that was the most desperate period for his family: his father’s funeral, his mother’s crying, the Yang family’s ridicule, and the college entrance examination coming in more than a month… That time of selling the house was the fuse that really led to the Jiang family’s desperate situation.

Even though the family situation in this life has not reached the point where it was then, Jiang Chen firmly believes that Shi Fengyue can cure Jiang Zhuo's leg, but he has never thought of selling the house for money. Not only because this incident in the first life became the Jiang family's greatest regret and pain, but also because he has never thought of letting the Yang family live freely and wantonly with the money they owed.

Whether making money by buying houses or speculating in stocks or making money by designing software himself, it takes a certain amount of time, and Jiang Zhuo's legs can't wait, so from the beginning, Jiang Chen thought about getting the money back from the Yang family. Later in his first life, when he co-founded a company with Huo Bo and others, although he did not manage the company's affairs, he also learned a lot from them about things that ordinary people may not be exposed to, such as debt collection.

However, that method must be agreed by Yang Si, and only she can do it, so Jiang Chen cannot act rashly before figuring out Yang Si's thoughts.

Now, Jiang Chen looked at Yang Si's expression and felt that the time might have come.

"Mom." Jiang Chen looked at her and said seriously, "I know you may want to sell the house, but have you ever thought about where we will live if the house is sold? What will I do about school in the future? What will Dad think? He definitely doesn't want us to have no place to live because of him. Before the operation, we need to be in good physical and mental condition. If Dad knows, can he still perform the operation well?"

Jiang Chen brought out all of Yang Si's concerns word by word, and then pushed those concerns onto her, causing her to instantly shrink back from the idea of ​​selling the house and become even more hesitant.

"But...if you don't sell the house, how will your father's medical expenses be paid?"

Yang Si had not originally intended to let Jiang Chen know about the family's financial situation and worry about it, but when facing Jiang Chen at this moment, he unknowingly expressed all his concerns and worries.

"If I say I have a way to get back the money the Yang family owes us, but it may cause you and the Yang family to have no relationship at all, are you willing?"

Yang Si was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he nodded almost without hesitation: "We broke off relations with the Yang family a long time ago, and they have no feelings for me. If we can get the money back to treat your father's illness, why would we care about that little bit of feelings?"

Jiang Chen smiled, nodded, and said, "I remember that when Yang Tianci borrowed a few large sums from our family, there were IOUs. Do you still have them?"

Yang Si simply ignored Jiang Chen's name Yang Tianci and nodded, "In the drawer where I keep my files at home."

"That's good." Jiang Chen's eyebrows curved, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth. His dimple on one side sunk a little, and his handsome face showed the liveliness of a young man: "Listen to me..."

Yang Si listened to Jiang Chen's whispered words, his eyes widened, and then he asked in a low voice: "Is this really possible? It's not against the law, right?"

"Of course it's not illegal." Jiang Chen sat up straight, his expression returning to his usual modest and open expression: "Debt transfer is legal, but we may need to give up part of it to the debt collector."

"Of course." Yang Si agreed immediately: "As long as we can get back the money from your father's surgery, the rest can be given to the debt collectors."

After saying that, she became a little worried: "Will this cause any trouble? Those people..."

"Don't worry, Mom. I will find a formal debt collection agency."

The methods used by formal debt collection agencies are naturally legal and reasonable, but they are also well aware of how to test the edge of the line, which can not only make the debtors miserable, but also make them have nowhere to complain, so that they can only pay the money back obediently. However, these are not what Yang Si, who has already transferred the bonds, needs to know.

Amidst the clusters of flowers in spring, the young man has a bright smile, is dignified and gentle, and is the most upright person.
