Chapter 743 Penalty
Li Xu and Zhang Kun also acted as if nothing had happened.
When they returned to the master bedroom, Li Xu smiled and asked Zhang Kun: "Do you want to boil the medicine or should I?"
After returning from the hospital at noon, at around three or four in the afternoon, Zhang Kun went out and bought a big bucket for Ji Ziang to soak his legs.
Just now, because Tangtang was here, I was worried that the smell of the Chinese medicine was too pungent and would choke the child.
Since the sugar won’t stay down now, I can make some medicine.
It's only ten o'clock now, and it will be eleven o'clock when we finish bathing. It's totally in time.
Zhang Kun whispered, "Let me go. I'm familiar with the kitchen."
Li Xu didn't fight with her: "Okay, remember to use the water in the bucket next to you to boil the medicine. Tap water is better. Yuanyuan said so."
The bucket next to the kitchen naturally did not contain tap water, but the tap water that Ji Yuanyuan quietly put in there.
However, in order to prevent Zhang Kun from becoming suspicious, Li Xu still explained.
Zhang Kun nodded: "Got it."
In order to make medicine for Ji Ziang, Zhang Kun bought two new pots.
It's a relatively deep pot, so it should be just enough to cook two buckets at a time.
In less than ten minutes, the whole house was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine.
Half an hour later, the Chinese medicine was ready.
After turning off the fire, Zhang Kun opened all the windows in the kitchen.
First, it can disperse the odor, and second, it can make the Chinese medicine cool down faster.
Another quarter of an hour later, the Chinese medicine was finally cool enough for foot soaking.
Zhang Kun poured all the Chinese medicine from the two pots into the bucket, and then he and Li Xu carried it into Ji Ziang's room.
Ji Ziang was very cooperative.
When Ji Ziang put his legs into the deep bucket, Li Xu and Zhang Kun asked nervously, "How is it? Do you feel it?"
Looking at the expressions of the two people, Ji Ziang couldn't help but laugh.
"Even if a god came, it would not work so quickly."
Li Xu and Zhang Kun both said awkwardly: "Yes, yes."
Ji Ziang looked at the disappointed looks on his parents' faces, paused for a moment, and then said, "I feel a little better now. I feel the warmth inside my knees, which is quite comfortable."
Hearing this, Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
By the time we finished cleaning up the mess, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Before going to bed, Li Xu remembered the bank card placed on top of the cupboard.
She took it back and put it on the bedside table. "Since Weiwei doesn't want it, forget it. We can just subsidize them a little more from time to time. We'll see how things go in two months and use the money in the account to open another branch."
Unlike Li Xu's radicalism, Zhang Kun has reservations: "You have to keep some money on hand to deal with some unexpected situations."
Li Xu whispered, "There aren't that many emergencies. Ziang can't get married for a while, so there's no place to spend the money."
However, Li Xu's slap in the face came very quickly.
At the weekend, that's when the money is needed.
The news that Ji Ziang was injured and could no longer race could not be concealed from the club.
What's more, such a thing cannot be kept secret for too long.
Ji Ziang signed a ten-year contract with the club, but it’s been less than five years now.
Ji Ziang fell into disrepair almost as soon as he gained some international fame.
It is a huge loss for the club.
If Ji Ziang can no longer create value for the club, he will be in breach of contract.
He needs to pay the club a penalty of three million.
Ji Ziang has not saved much money over the years.
He has only been emerging for a year or two and has not participated in many competitions.
What's more, most of the prize money from winning the tournament went into the club's pocket, and he actually got very little.
As for his share of the prize money, almost half of it was spent on the competition.
The club doesn't manage everything, there are many places to spend money.
Most of the remaining money was spent on Fan Yumeng.
Therefore, several years after graduation, Ji Ziang only had a five-digit savings.
There is a difference of hundreds of times between tens of thousands and three million.
However, Ji Ziang didn't want Li Xu and Zhang Kun to pay for it.
Given his current situation, it is still unknown what will happen to him in the future.
If he can no longer compete, he will definitely not be able to pay back the money.
So, when he learned that he needed to pay liquidated damages, Ji Ziang's first reaction was to sell the car.
The only valuable thing he has now is the racing car.
However, Ji Ziang is unable to go out now and can only ask a friend to handle it.
If you sell the car, you can get at least hundreds of thousands.
Use these hundreds of thousands to hold the club back first.
Ji Ziang thought that he would slowly find a way to get the remaining money.
However, when Ji Ziang was on the phone, Li Xu accidentally heard it.
"There are still two million in the family account. You can use it first. Your father and I will figure out the rest." Li Xu pushed the door open and said directly.
Ji Ziang was interrupted by the phone call and asked angrily: "Mom, why didn't you knock when you came in?"
After a pause, he continued, "Don't worry about this matter. I will figure it out myself."
Li Xu sighed helplessly: "Who do your father and I make money for? Isn't it just for you three brothers and sisters? When you were young, we wanted you to live a better life, buy whatever you want, and not envy other people's children. When you grow up, we hope that you can do what you like and don't have to rush for a living. If you are unwilling to use our money when you encounter problems, then what is the meaning of our making money?"
Zhang Kun heard the sound and came over.
"Yeah, that string of numbers in the bank account is really not very attractive to us."
Ji Ziang lowered his head and said nothing.
"Why are you so stubborn, kid? Let's put it this way. This money is not given to you, but it is loaned to you. When you have money, you can return it to us with interest, is that ok?"
For now, this is all we can do.
Ji Ziang looked a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he looked up at Li Xu and said, "Ask big brother and Yuanyuan to come over in the evening. We can't hide this from them."
Parents always treat their children equally.
I bought houses for all three of them, all of which were of similar value. I bought a car for my eldest brother, a racing car for him, and a dowry for Yuanyuan.
I can't hide these two million from my elder brother and Yuanyuan. If they knew about it, they might feel uncomfortable.
What's more, his situation is different from that of his elder brother and Yuanyuan.
Big brother and Yuanyuan are biological children, but he is not.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't even want the house.
"Okay." Li Xu agreed immediately.
After all, they are her own children, and Li Xu understands Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan.
The two of them have absolutely no objection to this matter, and will even take the initiative to lend money to Ziang.
Li Xu is still very proud of this.
The three children in their family are very sincere to each other and will never turn against each other for money.
