Tao Wenwen said, "Yes, that's great. Since you know Gao Yue, why don't you calculate the cost of his food and drink while he's been staying at my house for a while?"
The two men were stunned as they didn't expect Tao Wenwen to talk about such a thing.
Tao Wenwen continued, "During the time he was sick, I was the one who took care of him. I finally waited until his injuries started to improve, but he ran away without a word, leaving me no money. He's been eating and drinking for free at our house for so long. Since you're his uncle, why don't you settle his expenses with us during this time? Oh, and the medical expenses as well."
One of the men showed a surprised expression and asked, "Is Gao Yue's injury healed?"
Tao Wenwen said, "He's feeling better now, but he's still blind. You'd better hurry if you want to find him. If you delay any longer, he might die outside."
The two men didn't feel much emotion when they heard Tao Wenwen's words. Instead, they thought, it would be better if they really died outside!
Tao Wenwen observed their expressions calmly, having already determined in her heart that these two men were definitely not Gao Yue's relatives. She extended her hand, palms upward, and continued, "Pay me back. It's enough for food, drink, defecation, sleep, and medical treatment. It's not much. Just give me twenty yuan."
Tao Wenwen didn't know whether the twenty yuan was a lot or not. According to the prices here, the food, daily necessities, and her medical expenses plus the cost, of course, the key point was the medical expenses. All in all, it shouldn't be a lot, right?
The two men's expressions changed drastically when they heard this. One of them said, "Why don't you just go and rob it? Gao Yue isn't with you, so how can we know if you're trying to trick us?"
Another man pulled him aside and said, "Why bother talking to a liar like that? Hurry up and leave! It's more important to find someone!"
Then, the two of them left in a hurry.
Of course Tao Wenwen had to put on some pretense. She chased for a few steps, and when she saw that she couldn't catch up, she stopped and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had really attracted a disaster. She didn't get much benefit, but instead had endless troubles in the future.
"Why do these two look so strange?" Zhang Kongming was still wondering as he watched the two men leave. He said, "They weren't nervous at all when Gao Yue was injured, but when it came to money, they ran away faster than a rabbit. How can this be the behavior of an uncle?"
But then I thought about Zhang Ertian's situation. Ever since his illness became more serious, the problems at home have become more and more numerous. Maybe every family has its own problems!
Zhang Kongming sighed deeply, thinking about what Tao Wenwen had just said.
He asked, "Did Gao Yue really spend so much money on your family? Incredible! But don't worry, our Zhang family will definitely not default on the debt. No matter how much it costs, we will give it to you exactly! But... can you pay it in installments or give it some time?"
Zhang Kongming thought that they usually worked in the production team, and when the work points were settled every month, they would get things like food coupons, oil coupons, and cloth coupons.
After these items have been exchanged, any excess will be converted into cash.
But for most people, after they were given cloth coupons and food coupons, their work points were gone, so most of the time people in the countryside had no money.
The Zhang family was different because they had a large family and were capable of doing things. More importantly, each generation had become richer than the previous one. However, all the family property was later turned over.
The family members tried every possible means to preserve some assets, so that the younger generations could live a more comfortable life than others.
