Xu Zhiyi specially picked a weekday to return to her parents' home.
Xu Cheng only rests on Sundays.
At the beginning of July, he had just finished registering for the college entrance examination, and admission information was coming out one after another. Xu Cheng was relatively free.
In the days after the college entrance examination results came out, he was too busy to leave home.
When she left, her brother-in-law Xu Wei was also there.
It seems that everyone knows that Xu Cheng only has time today.
She and Xu Wei hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, and she was shocked when she saw him again.
Xu Wei was skinny and skinny, his eyes were dull and his face was full of sadness.
The last time I saw him was during the Chinese New Year.
At that time, she and Mingrui went to her relatives' house to pay New Year's greetings as a courtesy.
When I saw him at that time, he was still in good health and his face was rosy.
In just half a year, he completely lost his temper.
Xu Wei and Xu Cheng were sitting in the living room talking. Xu Zhiyi said hello to him and went to the kitchen to help Li Zijuan.
The mother and daughter were picking up vegetables and chatting quietly.
"Mom, what does my brother-in-law want from my dad?"
"Hey, your brother-in-law's house is going to be auctioned by the court. He begged your father to find a way for him. Tell me, what can your father think of? Isn't this embarrassing?"
"How come my uncle's house was auctioned by the court? What's going on?"
From Li Zijuan's words, Xu Zhiyi learned that this matter was related to Su Jianguo.
Xu Wei and his wife have been working with Su Jianguo on the construction site. They have close contacts and share the same interests.
Su Jianguo often raised funds while working on projects. He persuaded Xu Wei and his wife to use their apartment to provide mortgage guarantee for his bank loan.
In the past, if Su Jianguo could pay off the bank interest on time, the house would be fine.
Now, Su Jianguo's capital chain is cut off, bank interest and loans are cut off, and he cannot protect himself. The bank can only recover the principal and interest of the loan by auctioning the mortgaged house.
Those who suffered directly were Mr. and Mrs. Xu Wei and their two children.
Once the house was auctioned, their family of four had no place to live, and their two children's schooling was affected.
Xu Wei's eldest son, Xu Zhihong, is still taking the high school entrance examination this year and has already been affected. If he fails to pass the high school entrance examination because of this, the couple will blame themselves to death.
Li Zijuan kept looking at the living room warily and whispered to Xu Zhiyi:
"I told your father a long time ago that he is not allowed to use the money from selling our old house for your brother-in-law's family. We have to keep this money to pay the down payment of the new house.
Your brother is 23 this year. He is old or young, and he has reached the age of marriage. We have to prepare a house for him early. Otherwise, which girl would be willing to marry him? "
Xu Zhiyi nodded repeatedly and asked about the current situation of Xu Yan's family.
Su Jianguo's judicial detention had just ended, but as soon as he came out, he was chased by his creditors.
He didn't dare to go home and hid here and there for fear of hurting his family.
Two creditors found out that his girl Su Yingxue worked in a Fortune 500 company in Hangzhou and went to Hangzhou to find her.
Force her to either tell them Su Jianguo's whereabouts or pay him back, otherwise she will go to the company where she works to cause trouble.
How could Su Yingxue afford such shame? She called Su Jianguo on the spot.
After finding Su Jianguo, the creditor let Su Yingxue go.
Su Yingxue was almost scared out of her mind. She was trembling all day long, fearing that other creditors would come to her door again. She gave up the house she originally rented and found a shared house with others in the suburbs of Hangzhou.
After saying this, Li Zijuan smacked her tongue and sighed:
"Last time you asked me to transfer 25,000 yuan to your second aunt. Your father and I also gave her 25,000 yuan. A total of 50,000 yuan was collected and transferred to her. Apart from anything else, Yingli is still in graduate school and it costs money. Even if It will take a process for the children to work and earn money on their own in the future, so let’s take care of the emergency first.”
Xu Zhiyi asked: "What happened to my second uncle after he was found by the two creditors?"
Li Zijuan shook his head, "Your second uncle has no money, and you can't get money out of him even if you catch him. Isn't this just trying to kill Hu Han? No one can do that."
The creditor had no choice but to scold him. Now in a society governed by the rule of law, they dare not beat him, as that is against the law. Your second uncle simply stopped running away and stayed at home. When creditors came to his door, he would let them scold him without saying anything. "
Xu Zhiyi understood.
Su Jianguo was afraid that if he ran away again, Su Yingxue and Su Yingli would be harmed.
Xu Wei sat at Xu Cheng's house for a long time before leaving. Xu Zhiyi and her parents saw him off together.
He stood at the door, looking at her, but hesitated to speak.
If he hadn't seen Xu Cheng's warning eyes, he would have wanted to kneel down to Xu Zhiyi and beg her to help their family of four.
But he didn't dare.
This will anger Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng had warned the Xu family many times in private not to go behind his back to find Xu Zhiyi or the Ming family.
After Xu Zhiyi's betrothal gift, Xu Cheng only maintained his reputation with his younger brother and Xu Xancai and Zhang Aihua, and didn't care about anything else.
Xu Wei reluctantly took one last look at Xu Zhiyi and walked away listlessly.
After closing the door, the three of them returned to the house. Xu Cheng sat on the sofa and stared at the TV wall in front of him in a daze.
Xu Zhiyi handed him a cup of herbal tea, "Dad, it's hot. Drink some water to cool down."
Xu Cheng took the cup of tea and drank it in one breath, breathing heavily, frowning, and pursed his lips hard.
frown.
After all, he couldn't be completely cruel to his younger siblings.
This may be the fate of being the boss, it seems that you are born to owe them.
No matter how hateful, annoying, or sorry they were, he still wanted them to live well.
If they don't live well, he, as the eldest brother, will feel more uncomfortable than anyone else.
Xu Zhiyi sat next to Xu Cheng, looked at him, and said hesitantly:
"Dad, there is a way to help my second uncle. However, I have concerns. Even if I help, I have to think about it in the long term. I will say something ugly first."
Xu Cheng's eyes suddenly brightened, "Did Octavia tell you something?"
Xu Zhiyi suddenly looked dissatisfied and shouted like a child:
"Dad, can you stop being so smart? Can you give people a chance to show their wisdom? You smart people are not lovable at all, huh."
She crossed her arms and turned her back to Xu Cheng childishly, looking angry.
Li Zijuan put the cut watermelon on the coffee table and looked at Xu Zhiyi with Xu Cheng.
I couldn't help laughing.
This girl of theirs has been very coquettish since marrying Octavia, and has become smaller and smaller as time goes by.
Xu Cheng handed her a piece of watermelon and coaxed her:
"Okay, dad, be careful from now on and try to hide his intelligence in front of you. Don't make dad anxious. Tell dad what Octavia told you."
Xu Zhiyi took the watermelon, couldn't help but laugh, and told them the Ming family's thoughts.
This really surprised Xu Cheng.
He had never wanted the Xu family to get too involved with the Ming family, fearing that what the Xu family did would not be noticed by the Ming family, which would affect Xu Zhiyi and make the Ming family look down upon her.
Now the Ming family has offered to help the Xu family, and the two brothers and sisters of the Xu family are in crisis, which is a real help in times of need.
However, Xu Zhiyi is right, there are many concerns involved, and even if you want to help, you have to think carefully before speaking.
If you can't help here and there, and then try to fit yourself into it, then you will lose more than you gain.
"Dad, I told you how to help. Just think about it. You can't let them mess around. I'm not doing this specifically to help them. I just want to find a helper for Xiao An. Oh, this is your son-in-law. I mean, if you are smart, you must understand."
Xu Cheng looked at his cute and silly girl and was speechless for a moment.
Xu Zhian is his son, how could his biological sister be more important than his biological son?
This was a good opportunity for his own son, and he had to plan for him.
He is the best at planning this matter.
