Chapter 120 The Elegant Lady Next Door
"I don't give a fuck, I just know that her old man owes us money!"
When Xia Tian heard this, he sat up from the bed.
No more sleepiness.
He immediately realized that it was Ye Ningyu's father's creditor who had come to visit!
Xiatian hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to the yard.
I found five dark-skinned middle-aged men blocking the door, with fierce expressions on their faces.
Grandpa, grandma and Ye Ningyu are all not as tall as the man leading the group.
There were still tears on Ye Ningyu's face.
"Uncle, I'm sorry... I'll find a way to return the money to you. Please don't fight with grandpa and grandma."
"Where's your old man? You told him to get out of here and run away after he owed you money. Is he still a man?"
When talking about her father, Xiao Ye just shed tears silently without saying a word.
At this time, grandma grabbed the leader, the man named Li Minghu, and said in a slightly flattering tone:
"Huzi, didn't you guys agree with me and the old man that we would pay you back the money slowly? Don't make things difficult for Xiaoyu, she's just a little girl."
"That was when she and her husband weren't back, so I could only find you two! Now that her husband is back, he must pay back the money!"
Li Minghu had a cold expression on his face. He shouted at the house, "Ye Wei, you bastard, get out of here! You are a grown man, but you let your daughter block you out. Are you still a man?"
Xia Tian looked at the group of men with fierce eyes behind Li Minghu and immediately realized that this group of people were most likely the ones who had cheated Xiao Ye's father into gambling.
Without hesitation, he walked out of the house and blocked Ye Ningyu and her grandparents behind him.
"Stop shouting. Ye Ningyu's father hasn't come back yet. How much money is still owed? I'll come..."
Before Xia Tian could finish his words, Xiao Ye hurriedly pulled him back.
Xia Tian wanted to break free, but the strength in Xiao Ye's hand was so great that even he was shocked.
Ye Ningyu's eyes were red, and she said to Li Minghu first:
"Uncle, my father died two years ago. I will definitely return the money to you. I will definitely return it. Please give me some time and don't make things difficult for my grandparents!"
Li Minghu was stunned: "What does that mean? Ye Wei is dead? What about Chen Lan? Let his wife return it!"
"Brother Hu, it seems his wife is also dead."
The companion behind Li Minghu pointed at Chen Lan's portrait in the main room.
"Tsk... Damn it, Ye Wei, you bastard, why would you borrow money from him if you can't afford to gamble? You ruined his family, what bad luck!"
Li Minghu looked at Ye Ningyu who was crying like rain, and then looked at Chen Lan's portrait. For a moment, he felt reluctant to continue collecting the debt.
In the end, he just glared at his grandparents and said harshly: "Since Ye Wei is dead, you two should pay it back! Now that Ye Wei's daughter is back, you should pay double every month!"
After saying that, Li Minghu left with the group of people behind him.
Grandma finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around to help Ye Ningyu wipe away her tears: "Don't cry, don't cry, grandma and grandpa are here... Wait for a while, leave quietly, and they won't be able to find you outside the mountain. Don't come back in the future."
Grandpa also sighed heavily.
"Listen to your grandma and don't come back. Don't worry about your father's debts. Live a good life in the future."
Ye Ningyu finally let go of Xia Tian's hand, wiping away her tears, and said firmly, "No, I won't leave. Of course I have to pay back the debt that Dad owes me!"
Xia Tian stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa and grandma, how much money do you still owe those people?"
But before grandpa and grandma could answer, Ye Ningyu suddenly shouted with red and swollen eyes in a tone and voice that Xia Tian had never seen before:
"Please, classmate Xia Tian, please stop interfering."
Xia Tian was shocked.
Xiao Ye Zi's voice was soft, and her tone was full of pleading.
When it comes to paying back the money, Ye Ningyu is really determined.
Grandpa also patted Xia Tian on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Xia, this debt is our family's business, don't worry about it."
Xia Tian looked at his grandparents and Ye Ningyu who was still crying and looked pitiful.
In the end, he just nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.
He knew that now was not the time to take a tough stance.
But I already had other plans in mind.
......
In the afternoon.
Ye Ningyu accompanied her grandparents at home and did some light work, and in the summer she would go to the village alone for a "stroll".
As he passed by next door, Xia Tian glanced into the yard.
I found a woman wearing glasses and with a rather cold temperament sitting in the yard.
There is also a tea table in front of me.
"She must have come back from a big city to visit her relatives. She has a very nice temperament."
Xia Tian murmured a few words.
Then he walked through the village from beginning to end and found out the address of the man who led the way to Ye Ningyu's house in the morning to collect debts.
After the morning, Xiao Ye firmly refused.
Xia Tian doesn't plan to help her pay off her debt openly, which may really hurt Xiao Ye's self-esteem.
So, he decided to find Li Minghu privately to repay the debt.
For the next few days, Xia Tian had nothing to do so he just strolled around the village.
I would go back home at mealtime, and occasionally help my grandpa and others chop firewood or make a fire when I had nothing to do.
It's not that he was pretending to be idle.
Because it will take at least half a day to go down the mountain to get the money.
So during this period of summer, I stay out of the house during the day to prepare for going down the mountain to get the money and to prevent Xiao Ye from noticing anything.
During this time, Xia Tian also learned that the elegant lady next door was called Bai Yun, who was a top lawyer in a law firm in Shanghai, and this was her grandparents' home.
Bai Yun and Ye Ningyu have a very good relationship.
According to Xiao Ye, the small camisole she was wearing was given to her by Bai Yun before she went to Bei'an.
Xia Tian nodded, thinking that this queen was quite nice.
If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen Xiao Ye wearing a camisole...
After breakfast this morning.
Ye Ningyu took advantage of the fact that grandpa was out and grandma was washing dishes in the kitchen.
She quietly pulled at the corner of Xia Tian's clothes, her beautiful peach blossom eyes flickering gently:
"Xia Tian, do you feel bored these past two days? Why don't you go back home?"
"It's not boring. I feel that this slow-paced life in the countryside is quite interesting."
Xia Tian smiled, his tone calm.
He could see that.
Staying here, Xiao Ye felt less depressed. With the company of her grandparents, the pain of losing her mother was much alleviated.
Little Leaf pouted, a little disappointed: "I'm sorry, Xia Tian, I, I don't have much time to play with you, I have to help grandma with work, and you are obviously a guest..."
"It doesn't matter. There will be plenty of time when you go to college."
"University?"
Speaking of university, Ye Ningyu's eyes suddenly became a little confused.
Her only goal used to be Tsinghua University, but...on the last afternoon, she didn't even go to take the exam.
Tsinghua has become an unattainable dream.
Just then, grandma's voice came from the kitchen.
Little Leaf immediately stood up and said to Xia Tian crisply, "Xia, Xia Tian, I'm going to go help grandma first. I have nothing to do tonight. I can play with you."
"Okay, I'll go for a walk first. I'm a little full from eating. If I'm not back for lunch, you don't have to wait for me."
"Then you have to be careful."
"Um."
Xia Tian looked at Ye Ningyu and her grandmother busy in the kitchen. He took his bank card and cell phone and walked out of the village.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I saw a familiar figure.
Xia Tian's pupils couldn't help but shrink, which was quite unexpected.
