"Did she really borrow money from loan sharks?"
Jiang Yue was very surprised. Although she had asked Lu Jingnian to remind her uncle and Lu Jinglan, Jiang Yue still felt that her aunt would not have the guts to actually borrow money from loan sharks.
However, just in case, she still asked Lu Jingnian to mention it.
Jiang Yue didn't care what kind of person her aunt was, but Lu Jinglan and An Luo were very nice people, and she didn't want the loan shark issue to affect An Luo and Lu Jinglan, especially since An Luo was pregnant.
"With that aunt's own abilities, she definitely wouldn't be able to borrow money from loan sharks."
Lu Jingnian directly told Jiang Yue about how he had set up the scheme.
Jiang Yue didn't know what to say to him.
"Dad will definitely be angry if you do this, won't he?"
After all, they're all family. It's no wonder Mr. Lu was angry that he betrayed his own people like this.
"No."
Lu Jingnian shook his head, "I'm just teaching them a lesson. It won't affect their fundamental nature. Dad knows what's going on and won't really be angry with me."
"As long as you know your limits."
Jiang Yue didn't say that Lu Jingnian was wrong, because Lu Jingnian was standing up for her.
On the contrary, she felt quite relieved.
...
My uncle's house.
The uncle sat on the sofa, looking at the IOU in his hand, too angry to speak.
"How do you plan to pay back this money?" he asked his aunt.
My aunt is feeling very guilty right now. After all, it's 150,000 yuan, not just one or two yuan. She definitely can't pay it back on her own.
"I really know I was wrong this time."
I will never dare to borrow money from loan sharks again.
"You know you were wrong now?"
The uncle sneered, "What's the use?"
You've already borrowed the money, and you've thrown it all into the stock market, losing it all.
The aunt cried, feeling wronged after being yelled at. "Why did I invest in stocks? Wasn't it because I wanted to earn more money so that you and your son could have a better life?"
"If you don't invest in stocks, will my son and I be unable to make a living?"
The uncle's hands trembled with anger. "Or do you think that you've never had a good day in this family since you married me?"
"I...I didn't mean that..."
The eldest aunt felt increasingly guilty. After marrying Lu Yuanming, her life was indeed much better than when she was at her parents' home.
However, my aunt was not satisfied with this kind of life.
What she wanted was to be like her third brother's wife, never having to worry about money, buying whatever she wanted, and having a nanny to serve her at home, like a wealthy lady.
Are you sure you really don't think that way?
The uncle sneered, "Qiao Min, I've really seen through you today. You probably think more than anyone else."
If you truly feel that marrying me all these years has been unfair to you, then you can divorce me.
In the past, no matter how angry he was, my uncle would never easily mention the word "divorce".
But today he mentioned divorce, and this time the tone was different from his usual angry words. This time, my uncle's tone was very serious, and it didn't sound like he was joking with my aunt.
Auntie was a little flustered, but at the same time she felt that her uncle would never divorce her. She knew very well how much Lu Yuanming loved her, so Auntie felt that her uncle would never divorce her.
"Lu Yuanming, who are you trying to scare?"
My aunt stubbornly refused to admit her mistake, saying, "Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Do you want a divorce?
Okay! Let's get a divorce then, as long as you don't regret it.
After saying that, Auntie ran back to her bedroom crying.
In the past, my uncle would have gone over to coax people, but today he didn't go and left in silence.
On the other side.
Anluo lay on the bed, looking at her husband who was sitting not far away, sighing helplessly, and sighed as well.
"Jing Lan, it's getting late, let's go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow."
Lu Jinglan sat down next to his wife and tenderly stroked her hair. "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Don't worry, Dad and I will handle this matter well.
"I trust you."
An Luo hugged Lu Jinglan's neck, her voice muffled, filled with deep heartache, "I'm not worried about the money, I'm just worried about you."
She truly never imagined that her mother-in-law would have such audacity as to dare to borrow money from loan sharks.
If someone with ulterior motives were to use this matter to their advantage, the futures of both the father-in-law and Jing Lan would be ruined, and even the reputation of the Lu family would be affected.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Lu Jinglan didn't want An Luo to worry, so she quickly turned off the lights and went to sleep with her.
But Anlu couldn't sleep. 150,000 yuan was no small sum, and he needed to pay it back as soon as possible to settle this matter.
With that in mind, Anluo decided to go back to her parents' home tomorrow to borrow some money from her older brother.
Her older brother is in business; he should be able to lend her tens of thousands of yuan.
We still have tens of thousands of yuan in savings at home, and with my father-in-law contributing a little more, we should be able to pay off a large portion of the debt.
We'll think of other solutions for the rest.
...
After leaving home, Uncle Lu drove around the streets for a while before going to his third brother's house.
When Uncle Lu arrived, Father Lu had just finished talking with Lu Jingnian. He had been sitting alone in the study for a while and was about to go back to his room to sleep when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Lu Jingnian, who lives downstairs, heard the knocking and came out in his pajamas. He didn't use a wheelchair; he walked out.
Why did you come out?
This wasn't the first time Lu's father had seen Lu Jingnian walk without a wheelchair, but he knew that Lu Jingnian's legs hurt every time he walked.
Seeing that his son had come out, Mr. Lu quickly waved to Lu Jingnian, "What are you doing out in this cold weather? Go back to sleep. I'll go see who's knocking on the door so late."
Lu Jingnian simply nodded but did not return to his room. Only after hearing his father and uncle talking and confirming that it was his uncle did Lu Jingnian turn around and go back to his room.
Outside, Mr. Lu was pulling Mr. Lu's uncle into the house.
As we walked, I asked the old man for directions, "Brother, it's so late, why are you here at this hour? It's so cold, aren't you afraid of getting cold?"
"I'm sorry, Third Brother, it's so late, I'm sure I've disturbed your rest!"
Uncle Lu looked somewhat apologetic.
"It's no trouble at all, we're brothers."
Once inside, Mr. Lu led Mr. Lu directly to the study and then poured him a cup of hot tea.
"Brother, you've never come to see me this late before, have you? Is something wrong?" Father Lu asked.
"My brother did have something to ask you to come here this time."
Uncle Lu sighed and continued, "You've probably heard about your sister-in-law's situation, haven't you?"
Mr. Lu nodded, looking at his eldest brother's furrowed brows and helpless and worried expression, and felt somewhat sorry for his elder brother.
After all, this matter is related to his son.
