Li Hongyan finally reacted: "It's okay, it's okay, I was just startled, wait a minute, I'll be there soon."
"What's the matter?" Wang Jingjing's father couldn't help but ask, as if there was something he didn't want him to know.
"It's nothing. My mother is just getting old and confused, and she likes to talk nonsense. Don't believe anything she says. She just wants to ruin our Pengfei's marriage, and then she will be happy." Li Hongyan said angrily and hung up the phone.
Wang Jingjing's father was confused. After thinking about it, he went home.
While he was making this call, an old lady in her fifties who looked very energetic was already sitting in the house. Sitting on the bench next to her was the little girl from before.
"You are Pengfei's grandmother." Wang Jingjing's father greeted her with a smile: "Please sit down and have some water. Have some water."
Chen Xiaoying looked at Wang Jingjing and her daughter. She had also taken a look at her house. It was a two-story self-built house that was common in the village. The yard was not big, only about 40 or 50 square meters, and there were a lot of sundries and other things.
"Please sit down. I'm really sorry for coming to your house so suddenly today." This matter actually had nothing to do with the Wang family. It was all her daughter Li Hongyan's fault.
Wang Jingjing's father sat down and asked casually: "It's okay, it's okay. We'll be a family from now on. If you have nothing to do, come over and sit for a while."
"I heard that you run a restaurant downstairs from the Bayi Hotel on Renmin Street, right? Is your business going well?"
Just greetings.
Chen Xiaoying couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Business is still okay, but this business may not be able to continue."
Wang Jingjing's father had walked past the entrance of Chen Li Restaurant countless times. He knew that this was the restaurant opened by Pengfei's grandmother and had paid special attention to it. The business of the restaurant was quite good.
"Why don't you do it anymore?" His tone sounded distressed.
What a pity! No matter what time you go, as long as it is meal time, it is always bustling inside and full of customers.
Chen Xiaoying almost cried when she heard this, but she quickly blinked and swallowed her sadness: "Uncle, I'm going to tell you the truth today. My daughter Li Hongyan has no money to get married, so she coaxed her father, the old man in my family, to Laowagou Village and found a moneylender named Heisan and borrowed 28,000 yuan."
Having said that, Wang Jingjing and her daughter's expressions suddenly changed.
"Did you borrow the money?" Wang Jingjing's father's voice suddenly rose in anger.
He also borrowed 28,000 yuan at once.
"The money was borrowed by Li Hongyan, but she coaxed her father into writing her own name on it. So the money has nothing to do with her. She is a married daughter..." Chen Xiaoying knew that saying this was very risky. What if Wang Jingjing's father was a very stingy person? When he heard that the debt had nothing to do with his daughter and mother-in-law, he would not care about the matter anymore.
But, if she didn't say that, how could she get the money back? By coaxing? By cheating? She couldn't do such a thing. It would go against her conscience.
"That Hei San is a powerful man who specializes in lending money. He was able to lend the 28,000 yuan at the time because of the small restaurant I opened and the house my eldest son bought in the county town."
Wang Jingjing's father felt very upset.
Because of these two points, every time Li Hongyan came, she would show off as if they were the advantages of her family.
He was angry. "I know. Li Hongyan came to me and told me about these things. She said that you love your grandson very much. When you make money in the future, you must leave some for Pengfei. And the house your eldest son bought, she said that your eldest son has no son, and he will rely on Pengfei for his old age and funeral in the future. Maybe this house will be left to Pengfei."
When Chen Xiaoying heard this, she immediately got angry: "Listen to her fart."
He didn't expect that his restaurant and the boss Li Hongwei's house were just a trick used by Li Hongyan to coax other girls.
Li Yutong was also depressed listening to this: "Uncle, what kind of society is this now? My dad has two daughters to take care of him in his old age. If not, I will find a son-in-law to stay at home."
Wang Jingjing's father then realized that the girl was the daughter of Pengfei's uncle, and said, "At that time, I thought, how can someone buy a house for her son? I didn't think about this."
Having said that, Li Yutong just smiled and said nothing.
Chen Xiaoying said, "Today, I am here just to ask for money. It's okay if you don't give it to me, but you have to return it to Hongyan, because if you don't return the money to Heisan as soon as possible, my family will have trouble living."
"They want to pay the debt, and they asked my old man for it. He is old and has no money. Hei San is going to bring people to my small restaurant to collect the debt. How can I pay it back?"
Wang Jingjing's father had a serious expression on his face. Wang Jingjing was so angry that she thought Zhao Pengfei had lied to her. He was a big liar.
"This money was not spent by my family. My old man couldn't even afford a bowl of tofu pudding when he went to the market. This money was taken directly from Heisan by Hongyan. My old man didn't even touch it, and he left our whole family with a debt of 28,000 yuan."
"Tell me, how can I keep running this restaurant? I still have to ask our eldest son for the money. Why should my eldest son pay me back?"
Wang Jingjing's father was so angry that the cigarette between his fingers became unstable: "How could she do this? Twenty-eight thousand yuan, how could she be so bold?" He went out to do odd jobs as a bricklayer and only earned three or four hundred yuan a month.
My daughter's future mother-in-law can borrow such a large sum of money.
Or did he cheat his own father to borrow the loan with high-interest loan?
With such a character, would he dare to marry his daughter to her?
Li Yutong complained in her heart: She has always been favored and has always made endless demands on her family. She has no money and no one, but her parents and four brothers will all cover for her. Moreover, she is born selfish and has a smooth tongue. She can say what is black and what is white. What is she afraid of?
"Aunt, what are you going to do?" Wang Jingjing's father asked.
Chen Xiaoying thought for a moment and said, "If I ask Hongyan for money, she has none. I have never received a dime from her. So I can only take a detour and come to you. How much do you think you have received as a gift from her family?"
Wang Jingjing's father also knew the seriousness of this matter, and said angrily: "My family only received a total of 5,166 yuan in betrothal gifts. No, I will return the money to her. I don't want this kind of money."
It's dirty money, money that will make people's lives difficult to make ends meet.
"Xiao Jing, what do you think?"
Wang Jingjing was almost crying: "Call Pengfei and his mother, I won't get married."
Fortunately, she didn’t marry into the family. If she had, what would she do if there were more troubles in the future?
Once you get married, it's too late for anything. It's better to just let it go now.
"Okay, let's not get married for now."
Wang Jingjing's father thought the same way.
But: "Aunt, I can't just give you this money. I have to give it to you in front of Pengfei, his mother, and the matchmaker. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it later. What shall I do?"
