Chapter 153 Debt Collection 2
Yang Lekang turned to He Chuan and smiled: "Your Aunt Liu is like this. Now that she's old, she's often on the loose. If you need money when you come here, tell me and I'll give it to you."
Yang Lekang hadn't expected He Chuan to come ask for these items the moment he arrived. He had assumed that the He couple had died, and no one knew about this anymore. He Chuan, who was much older, might not have known about this. Furthermore, after his father's death, the two children lived alone in the countryside. Death by starvation was common during famine times, so he might have died there. Even if he hadn't, he wouldn't have been able to come back.
But I didn't expect that when the last person came, he still knew about this.
He Chuan saw that Yang Lekang was trying to play Tai Chi and shift the focus. He clearly wanted to ask him for the relics that his father had asked him to look after, but he specifically pointed out that Yang Lekang was short of money and gave him the money without saying a word about handing over the relics.
He Chuan also smiled and calmly brought up the topic, "No, how can I accept Uncle Yang's money? Since my father left me something and asked Uncle Yang to keep it, Uncle Yang only needs to return it to me. I believe that with these things, my life will be worry-free."
He Chuan's blunt words left Yang Lekang with no alternative but to turn away, his face turning rather grim. At this moment, Liu Mei had just finished brewing some tea and brought it out.
"Come, Xiaochuan, have some tea first." Yang Lekang took the teacup and handed it to Hechuan.
He Chuan took the teacup and pretended to take a sip, then put it down and looked at Yang Lekang quietly, waiting for his answer.
Yang Lekang said with embarrassment: "Xiaochuan, it's not that uncle doesn't want to give it to you. It's just that it's been so many years, and I can't remember what some of the items are under my uncle's name. It will take some time for me to ask Aunt Liu to find them."
He Chuan knew he would shirk responsibility like this, thanks to his mother's extra preparations. "Uncle Yang, it's been so many years, and you're old and confused. I don't blame you. I have a detailed list of the items here with your signature on it. You can check it out."
He Chuan slowly took out a yellowed piece of paper from his bag and waved it in front of Yang Lekang.
Just as Yang Lekang was about to take it, He Chuan snatched the paper away and said, "Uncle Yang, be careful. It's easy to tear. After all, this is my father's relic, and I want to keep it as a memory. So I copied down a detailed list for you to follow."
He Chuanzhong took out a brand new piece of paper with the item information copied on it and handed it over, "Uncle Yang, take a look."
Yang Lekang took the paper with some trembling, and glanced at the items on it. It was indeed the detailed list of the items from that year. He didn't expect that Qi Suxin would really give this detailed list to He Chuan.
He Chuan's father had entrusted the items to him for safekeeping, and later his parents asked him to sign a detailed list of the items being entrusted. He thought that after so many years of moving around in the countryside, the items might have been lost or damaged, but he didn't expect them to be kept intact and now in front of him.
Yang Lekang smiled a little forcedly and said, "There are quite a lot of items here. It may take your uncle and aunt a while to find them."
He Chuan smiled faintly: "It's okay, uncle, take your time to look for it. But I see that your house is not very big, so it should be easy to find. After all, it's not your own things, so it should be easy to tell them apart. So, I will come back in three days, and I'll trouble you to help me find all the things."
He Chuan stood up and said goodbye.
After watching He Chuan walk away and closing the door, Liu Mei anxiously asked, "Old Yang, are you really going to return all those things to him?"
She had kept those things for ten years and had long considered them her own property. Taking them away from her now would be like cutting off her flesh.
Yang Lekang glanced at the woman with some disdain, "Why are you panicking?"
