As soon as Wu Li came out of the bathroom, he saw a colleague looking at him with a smile on his face, obviously waiting for him on purpose.
"Wu Li, it's already the third month. When will you repay the money you borrowed from me?" The colleague didn't bother to greet him and asked straight to the point.
Wu Li's face froze immediately, and he replied with a smile: "Li Sheng, can you pay it back to you next month? I really don't have any money now..."
"Next month, next month... You have told me 'next month' several times, but you have never fulfilled your promise. Are you planning to waste my money?" Li Sheng looked very ugly. He glared at Wu Li fiercely, "Do you think I'm easy to talk to, so that's why you refuse to pay back the money again and again? I've forgiven you several times, and I'm the most benevolent, Wu Li. If I haven't received the money tomorrow, , then just wait."
"Li Sheng! Don't be angry. I really don't mean to default on my debt. I'm really short of money recently. I don't even dare to order takeout at noon. I can only eat instant noodles. Can you please consider that we are colleagues? , please give me a little more grace..." Wu Li said to Li Sheng pleadingly, almost speaking softly in a low voice.
However, Li Sheng sneered and said, "Money is tight? Then why did I hear that you went to have a seafood dinner with your girlfriend yesterday? Don't treat me as a fool! If you don't pay back, then I will go find your girlfriend , she wouldn’t just watch her boyfriend being collected for debt and ignore it, would she?”
When Wu Li heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands and begged: "Don't ever look for my girlfriend! Li Sheng, I promise you everything and I will pay you back tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"Hmph! Wouldn't it be better if you said no earlier? Why do you want me to threaten you? I won't cry until I see the coffin. Remember, if I don't receive the money tomorrow, I will be embarrassed and have to disturb your girlfriend." Li Sheng Said sarcastically.
After being threatened like this, Wu Li was holding a breath in his chest. He couldn't get up or down. He just felt aggrieved and aggrieved. He didn't mean not to pay back the money, he just didn't have that much money for the time being. Why couldn't Li Sheng think about it? Your own difficulties? Obviously he is not short of money at all!
Wu Li would never think about it. Even if someone is not short of money, he still has the right to get back the money lent to him. What's more, Li Sheng has already given him a few months of grace, but he still saw him taking his girlfriend to eat seafood. After a big meal, you would get angry and force him to change money. After all, you can have a big meal, so why can't you pay back the money?
Wu Li took out his mobile phone and looked at the balance of less than 1,000 yuan in his account. He felt his head hurt. This month's salary would not be paid for more than ten days. Where could he find money to pay Li Sheng now?
He looked down the names in his address book one by one irritably, and suddenly saw the word "Mother". His eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw the hope of paying off the debt.
He couldn't wait and started to call Zheng Shichu's mobile phone number. However, after dialing for a long time, the call was not connected. After calling several times, he had to admit that Zheng Shichu had blocked his number.
Wu Li was so angry that he gritted his teeth. In his heart, Zheng Shichu's mother was his ATM machine, all-round nanny, and emotional vent. He had always been the only one who was impatient with Zheng Shichu's nagging and blocked her. How could Zheng Shichu have him? Blacklisting thing? But this time it was Zheng Shichu, who regarded his son as his life, who blocked him!
Is it because of the quarrel last time? Wu Li finally remembered the last quarrel with his mother. Zheng Shichu said at that time that he would not care about him anymore and asked him to save his own gift if he wanted to get married. He also hung up the phone uncharacteristically and never contacted him again.
He was still very angry at the time, thinking that if she didn't apologize to him, he would never forgive her. He didn't expect that after so long, she would never contact him again.
When Wu Li thought of this, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly sent another prestige letter to Zheng Shichu, and sure enough, he had been deleted as a friend.
He cursed in a low voice, feeling that Zheng Shichu, a mother, would not understand him at all, but she was angry with him at this time, making him unable to contact her.
Wu Li became anxious and irritated when he thought that he had to pay back the money tomorrow but could not find her at all. What should he do now? He has no money, and other colleagues have learned their lesson and will not lend it to him again. As for his girlfriend Xu Xiaorou? How could he, a majestic man, borrow money from his own woman? Doesn't this make you unable to hold your head up in front of her?
So it's best to contact Zheng Shichu, she must still have money... Wu Li thought firmly.
After finally getting off work, he quickly grabbed his bag and ran out. Since he couldn't contact her, he would go to where she lived to find her in person.
After going downstairs, Wu Li called a car and went to Zheng Shichu's residence.
Because the original owner couldn't bear to be too far away from her son, she followed Wu Li to work here since he was admitted to the university in this city. Wu Li naturally knew where the original owner lived.
However, that was the original owner's residence. Since Shichu arrived, she immediately found a new house and quit the rent, so it was impossible for Wu Li to find her.
Wu Li paid dozens of yuan for the fare distressedly, and then ran anxiously to the house where the original owner had rented. Finally reaching the sixth floor, he knocked on the door vigorously, regardless of whether it would disturb the neighbors. .
"Who is it? It's knocking so loudly, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" Following a burst of curses, the door suddenly opened, and what came out was a short, fat woman in her thirties, staring with a displeased look on her face. Looking at Wu Li patiently, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
"Who are you? Why are you here? I'm looking for my mother. My mother lives here." Wu Li said in a very angry tone, and he was also very unhappy.
"Which one is your mother? I don't have a son as old as you!" The fat woman rolled her eyes and said, "You've found the wrong person!" She was about to close the door.
But Wu Li looked at the door number and was sure that he was not looking for the wrong place, so he said unhappily: "I am not wrong. My mother has lived here for several years. Her name is Zheng Shichu..."
"How many years have you lived here? You are talking about the last tenant, right? She moved away long ago, otherwise how could I move in? I have paid rent to the landlord for several months and even signed a contract!" Fatty As soon as the woman finished saying this, she slammed the door shut.
When Wu Li heard what she said, his heart suddenly went cold. He realized that Zheng Shichu had probably moved away. His scalp went numb. She had moved away, so how could he find her?
With his last hope, Wu Li knocked on the door again and asked loudly: "Then do you know where my mother has moved?"
"Crazy! How do I know? I've never even met your mother. You might as well ask the landlord..." the fat woman cursed.
