Su Qinghu sat on the bed, holding her pounding heart, feeling like she was almost dying.
She didn't know when she fell asleep. When she heard the knock on the door, she subconsciously thought she was in a dream, so she continued to sleep soundly...
It was not until she heard the rapid pounding on the door, as if her heart was exploding, that she suddenly sat up in shock.
Then I met the flashlight shining in through the window...
"You two—" Su Qinghu walked out in slippers, looking at the two naughty kids who were getting up, his eyes narrowed, "What do you want to do?"
Dadan stood up, dusted himself off, and said nothing.
Erdan: "I wanted to wake you up for dinner."
Have a meal?
Su Qinghu was in a daze for a moment, raised his hand to look at his watch, and found that it was too dark to see the exact time. Just as he was about to give up, Dadan had already shone the flashlight at him.
Su Qinghu raised her eyelids and looked at him, then looked away to check the time.
"Ten eleven?" Su Qinghu looked up at the sky in disbelief. Seeing nothing but black, he began to feel guilty. "Why don't you guys go out to eat at dinner time?"
She felt like she just dozed off for a moment...
Dadan: "I stayed up so late doing my homework that I forgot about dinner time."
"I'm punishing myself." Erdan looked at Su Qinghu with a sincere face.
Su Qinghu almost rolled his eyes. "You punish yourself? Then do you know where you went wrong?"
"I shouldn't have skipped school," Erdan said, then immediately tried to excuse himself. "My brother already beat me up, and I realize my mistake. I definitely won't skip school again."
Su Qinghu stood with his arms folded, looking down at him. "It's okay to skip school, but if the teacher caught you and even came to visit your home, it's your fault."
Erdan opened his mouth wide, doubting whether what he heard was true.
Dadan really wanted Su Qinghu to shut up. What was he talking about? He already had a history of skipping school, and now he wanted him to continue skipping school?
Those people in the alley said that some stepmothers wanted to ruin their children. When their children did something wrong, instead of criticizing or scolding them, they encouraged and praised them...
"Do you know what kind of students can skip classes without being caught by the teacher?" Su Qinghu leaned over and looked down at Erdan.
Erdan was nervous: "Huh? No...I don't know."
"Only when you're so good that no one else can compare to you will the teacher ignore you. Because at that time, in the teacher's eyes, everything you do is to make yourself better." Su Qinghu stood up in front of him, stunned, and then said, "Actually, there is another situation-"
Erdan opened his eyes wide.
Su Qinghu: "Another scenario is that our family owns a mine and is rich... at least rich enough to be the richest person in the provincial capital. Money is just a number in our eyes. Mom will tell the teacher in advance that our family has countless mines and money. Even if you become a loser, your family won't starve to death. So you can skip class if you want."
Erdan opened his mouth wide. The richest man in a provincial capital is the richest man in the provincial capital. How much money does the richest man have?
"Of course, the latter has a risk that must be considered." Su Qinghu took two steps and asked with a smile, "Erdan, use your clever little head and think about what this risk is."
Dadan finally changed from the anger when Su Qinghu first spoke to the current thinking.
Erdan thought hard, but in the end, under Su Qinghu's gaze, he could only shake his head and say, "I can't think of it."
"Where is Dadan?" Su Qinghu asked.
Dadan thought for a moment and said, "If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. What if the parents get divorced and no one wants the child? That useless kid might starve to death."
Erdan's eyes widened instantly. Although he was looking at Su Qinghu, the scene described by his brother already appeared in his mind.
Su Qinghu was choked by Dadan's answer. This... this is not wrong. The possibility he mentioned is not non-existent.
but--
"What you said might be possible, but it's not the worst." Su Qinghu said with a serious face, "The worst thing is that the family goes bankrupt, the whole family has to eat coarse food, and people have to chase the debtors. The debt is so big that it can only be paid off by my parents, myself, and my descendants."
Erdan took a deep breath.
The old men in the park told their children the story of "Yugong moving the mountain." If paying back the money is like digging the mountain...
As soon as he thought of this, Erdan shuddered.
"Are you thinking of Yugong moving the mountain?" Su Qinghu glanced at Erdan with a fake smile, "Forget it. Yugong moved the mountain without anyone interfering. If you were in debt, a sea of people would squat outside your door every day, leaving you no time to go out and earn money. You'd be tortured to death."
Erdan swallowed hard, "I...I'm looking for the police."
"They're just collecting debts, they haven't done anything to you, so what can you do?" Su Qinghu continued to hit him. "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. With so many people collecting debts, it's hard to find a job. If you want to do business, people will doubt your creditworthiness and may not cooperate with you..."
"Tsk tsk~~~" Su Qinghu shook his head gently, "Too miserable."
Erdan stood there in a daze. If there were a large number of people collecting debts, then even if he had 500 followers, they wouldn't be able to stop them, right?
Su Qinghu's words sent a chill down Dadan's spine, and he couldn't help but imagine the scene of being chased for debt...
"Well, you guys think about it carefully." After saying that, Su Qinghu went straight to the kitchen.
I probably won’t be able to find anything to eat outside right now, so I’ll have to cook it myself.
What's in the kitchen?
Tomatoes, eggs, seasonal vegetables, flour, rice, and other easy-to-store root vegetables.
Let’s try tomato and egg dumpling soup, which is easy to make and digest.
Put flour in a bowl, add water and mix until the amount is enough for three people. Fry the tomatoes until they have juice, add water and bring to a boil, add the dough balls and beaten eggs...
In just twenty minutes, the three of them were already sitting at the dining table, each with a bowl, eating the dumpling soup in silence.
After eating, the two went to wash dishes and clean up. Su Qinghu stood aside and watched them, thinking about something.
Soon, when the two of them finished cleaning the kitchen, Su Qinghu spoke, "I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."
"Where?" Erdan's depressed mood warmed up a little.
Tomorrow is the weekend. Is the new mother going to take them out to play again?
Su Qinghu: "Police station."
She spoke so casually that the two of them almost got a stitch in their side.
Erdan's eyes widened. "Why should we go to the police station? I didn't commit any crime!"
He babble, "I did establish a gang, and I recruited followers, but I didn't recruit them to ask for protection money, and they didn't do anything bad!"
Why?
Why send him to the police station?
"Even if, even if I sent your painting to Dad without your permission, that wouldn't be a crime, right?"
Su Qinghu was stunned. "What?"
Could the painting that little bastard sent to Chen Lie be the one that I had been secretly looking for for a few days and still couldn't find? ! !
No, she wants to hit the child!
