Chapter 957: The female protagonist of the sad drama (12)
"Yanzong is really not at home! Stop smashing things! I won't be able to pay you back if you smash things again... Stop smashing things..." A sharp and shrill female voice came from outside. Qiao Shichu, who was coaxing her child to sleep, was startled and quickly covered the ears of her son who was about to fall asleep, while she herself listened with her ear tilted.
"Where is Xue Yanzong hiding? Don't think you can avoid paying back the money just because you're not at home! I'll come and smash his money every day he doesn't pay back! I don't believe he can hide forever!" A strong and sturdy male voice immediately drowned out the woman's crying and begging.
"Yanzong just went out to borrow money, he's not hiding from you. Please give him a few more days, and Yanzong will definitely borrow the money to pay you back. Please don't smash it anymore..." Ning Guoyun's pleading voice was panicked and frightened.
When Qiao Shichu heard the noise, he knew that Xue Yanzong was now bankrupt and in debt, but could he have abandoned his wife and children and fled to another place?
If that were the case, it would be such a pity. She wanted to keep Xue Yanzong here to share the joys and sorrows with Ning Guoyun. Why could he just run away and leave all the debts on his poor wife and daughter?
The noise next door lasted for more than an hour. Finally, the ferocious male voice left a harsh word, asking Xue Yanzong to pay the money back as soon as possible, and then left in a swagger.
After everyone left, Qiao Shichu opened the door and saw Ning Guoyun squatting on the ground crying while holding Xue Jizu. Her two daughters were huddled beside her, looking panicked. They were so scared that they trembled all over when they heard the sound of Qiao Shichu opening the door.
Ning Guoyun's parents-in-law were not at home. They were worthy of being Xue Yanzong's parents. They were equally selfish and loved to avoid reality. When the critical moment came, no other grandchild was as important as themselves. When the creditors came to their door, they abandoned their daughter-in-law, grandchildren and ran to hide in their other children's homes.
Ning Guoyun saw that it was Qiao Shichu, wiped her tears and asked, "Shichu, do you have any milk powder at home? Jizu must be hungry, I want to borrow some of Chengxuan's milk powder from you for him to drink, my milk was spilled on the ground..."
Qiao Shichu looked into her room and saw it was in a mess. The tables and chairs were smashed, and light bulbs were broken all over the floor. It would take a long time to clean up and there was no way to get back in.
"Yes, come in." Qiao Shichu said to her, and Ning Guoyun carried Xue Jizu into Qiao Shichu's house, while her two daughters still stood outside timidly, not daring to follow their mother into Qiao Shichu's house.
When Qiao Shichu saw Ning Guoyun carrying Xue Jizu directly in without remembering his two daughters at all, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the two girls were pitiful.
"You two come in and have a drink of water." Qiao Shichu said to the two little girls.
"Thank you...thank you Aunt Qiao..." Xue Zhaodi thanked Qiao Shichu stiffly and timidly, then walked into the door holding her sister's hand.
Qiao Shichu closed the door and went to find his son's milk powder to make milk for Ning Guoyun.
Xue Jizu kept crying. He was only a few months old, but he was white and chubby, bigger than other one-year-old children. The little flesh on his face trembled when he moved, and it was obvious that he was taken care of very well by Ning Guoyun.
"Stop crying." Qiao Shichu pinched his flesh and said to him. Although he was a nasty guy who felt at ease exploiting his adoptive mother and sister when he grew up, he was just a little baby who knew nothing now, and Qiao Shichu would not do anything to him.
Ning Guoyun quickly prepared the milk, and after bringing it to a suitable temperature with cold water, he quickly stuffed it into Xue Jizu's mouth. With food in his mouth, he stopped crying immediately.
Qiao Shichu poured hot water for the two girls and took a pack of biscuits for them to eat. Ning Guoyun then remembered his own daughters. He took a look and found that they had only cried for a while and there were no signs of injury on their bodies. He immediately turned his attention to Xue Jizu.
"What's going on in your family?" Although Qiao Shichu already knew the whole story, he still asked her, "Who are those people?"
Ning Guoyun had a sad face and said, "Yanzong's business was targeted, and he went bankrupt and owed a lot of debts. Those people were hired by the creditors to ask us to pay off the debts."
Qiao Shichu nodded: "Why isn't Xue Yanzong at home? Did he hide away? Isn't he worried about you and your daughter?"
Ning Guoyun smiled bitterly and said, "He said that we are young and old, and I am just a woman, so those people will not embarrass us..."
Qiao Shichu: ...
Xue Yanzong is such a scumbag. Those people would not embarrass women and children, but wouldn't his wife and children be panicked by being directly threatened and intimidated? He is so righteous and confident!
Qiao Shichu didn't know what to say for the moment. If she said something bad about Xue Yanzong, Ning Guoyun would be the first to make excuses for him, so she didn't say anything and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Ning Guoyun shook his head, looking bewildered. "I don't know how Yanzong's business went bankrupt. I have no idea. I don't know how much debt he owes. I only know that three waves of creditors have come to my door in the past few days."
"What about Xue Yanzong? Did he say what to do? How to find a way to pay back the money?" Qiao Shichu asked again.
"He said he wanted to borrow money from his friends to make a comeback. Once his business gets going again, he will be able to pay off his debts quickly." Ning Guoyun told her what Xue Yanzong had said.
Qiao Shichu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. Borrowing money to make a comeback? Not to mention whether he could borrow enough money from those so-called friends to make a comeback. Even if he did borrow the money, would he have the same luck as before and could he still do business smoothly and make a fortune?
"Didn't he say that he offended someone? Then wouldn't the people he offended try to stop him when they saw that he was trying to revive his business?" Qiao Shichu thought of this question and asked.
Ning Guoyun was stunned when he heard her words. Obviously, she had not thought about this problem, and neither had Xue Yanzong, otherwise he would not have naively thought about doing business again.
"I don't know about this..." Ning Guoyun said hesitantly, "That person can't be so domineering, right? Can he cover the sky with one hand?"
Qiao Shichu shrugged and said, "It's hard to say. If that person has vented enough anger, he might forget about your husband and naturally won't target him anymore. But if he hasn't vented enough anger, then it's hard to say."
Ning Guoyun immediately frowned again and said, "I don't know what important person Yanzong offended. I wonder if he can get forgiveness from that person if he apologizes?"
"Would your husband be willing to bow his head to others?" Qiao Shichu asked. Xue Yanzong was a person who cared a lot about face. He was arrogant and conceited, and had a strong self-esteem. He was the last person who was willing to bow his head and beg for mercy, so Qiao Shichu doubted whether he would apologize to others.
