Debtors

Chapter 366 - Debtors

Zhao Rui did not put the yellow bird and others, sent to prison, because he beat the other side a little bit, when asked, to their disadvantage.

Secretary Zhang is staring at himself, in case if he knows the news, it will definitely make a big deal.

Zhao Rui felt that there was no need to get himself into this trouble.

Since Xiao Fang was beaten up by Yellow Bird, Zhao Rui took her to the hospital first and had her body checked.

Xiao Fang's body is not a big deal, just some superficial injuries, some medicine, rest a few days, it will be fine.

Zhao Rui then put his heart down and sent Xiao Fang home.

Xiao Fang's family lives in the city's East and West Qingcheng District Wang Jiaqiao, where is the largest area of shantytowns in Binyang, living conditions, housing can be said to be very difficult.

Zhao Rui walked in the alley that could barely allow two people to pass, surrounded by low and old houses, some are low-lying flood-prone small bungalows, some houses built with wooden planks, adobe, and even some are simple houses with linoleum and asbestos tiles for roofing.

Although the weather is sunny this week, but the ground is still muddy, the road is lined with sewage, the smell is unpleasant.

Zhao Rui was on his way and asked about her family's situation.

Xiao Fang told Zhao Rui that her house, when it rains, it leaks, and the house is filled with all kinds of buckets and pots to catch the water. In winter, if you want to heat your house, you have to chop the wood to make a stove, especially when it comes to the toilet, the most troublesome, dozens of households share a common toilet, often have to queue. Zhao Rui was not born in a wealthy family, before entering the immortal tomb. Due to the death of both parents, life was not easy, belonging to the bottom common people.

However, seeing the environment here and listening to Xiao Fang's story, he suddenly felt. His life at that time. It was not bad at all.

Zhao Rui looked at Xiao Fang's pretty face that was swollen by the yellow bird, the heart of her can not help but have a few more pity.

But Xiao Fang is a bashful face, seems to be for their own difficult situation, has long been used to.

In the shantytown like a spider web of alleys. After walking around for a while, Zhao Rui finally arrived at Xiao Fang's home.

This is a small brick bungalow, but because of the age and dilapidation, the walls have cracked in some places, a few green weeds, from the cracks out.

People can not help but worry, will not the wind blow, the whole house will collapse.

Push open the door. A dampness that pours out. The space inside the house is small and dim, it is difficult to enter the light, furniture and furnishings, but also very simple, look very old.

However, the home is very clean and tidy, and does not appear messy.

The north side of the house is a double bed, a woman who looks about forty years old. Is half leaning on the head of the bed.

The woman's face was a sickly pale white. Spirit is not very good, the appearance and Xiao Fang have a few similarities. The outline of the features is very delicate, in the young days, probably also a rare beauty.

When Xiao Fang saw the woman, she rushed to the bedside and asked in a soft voice: "Mom, why are you up? How do you feel today? Have you taken your medicine?"

"Fine, the spirit of the past two days, are not bad. The medicine has also been taken." Xiao Fang's mother smiled and suddenly saw the injury on her daughter's face, so she was shocked and quickly asked, "What happened to you? Why is your face swollen? What is this?"

"Nothing? I just accidentally gave someone a bump." Xiao Fang was afraid of her mother's worry, so she casually found an excuse and tried to put it off.

"How can a bump look like this? I'm not blind." Xiao Fang's mother didn't believe her, "Did someone hit you? Is this the person?"

At the end of the sentence, Xiao mother pointed at Zhao Rui and raised her tone. ~~ e t~~

"No, no, mom, Brother Zhao saved me." Xiao Fang hurriedly shook her hand and excused Zhao Rui.

"Ah? Then thank you so much Mr. Zhao." Xiao Fang's mother sat on the bed and owed Zhao Rui a faint sound before continuing to ask, "Mr. Zhao, can you tell me, what exactly happened to Xiao Fang?"

Xiao Fang was a little anxious and turned her eyes to Zhao Rui for help, she did not want Zhao Rui to tell her mother the whole thing.

She did not want Zhao Rui to tell her mother about the whole thing, because then, her mother would know about her being a thief!

This is the scene Xiao Fang does not want to see.

Zhao Rui glanced at Xiao Fang and understood her meaning, so he smiled and said lightly, "Xiao Fang accidentally met some hooligans on the road, and I happened to meet them, so I saved her."

"So that's how it is! Then I'm really grateful! Mr. Zhao, you are really our Xiao Fang's benefactor! Mr. Zhao, please sit down, you sit first." Mother Xiao thanked her repeatedly, then turned her head and instructed Xiao Fang, "What are you standing there for, why don't you pour a cup of tea for Mr. Zhao?"

When Xiao Fang saw that her mother did not suspect, she looked relieved and gave Zhao Rui a grateful look, then agreed and poured tea for Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui found a chair nearby and sat down, then asked Xiao Fang's mother, "What kind of disease do you have?"

"Because of a car accident, the spine was injured. Xiao Fang's father, too, was killed in that car accident." Xiao's mother sighed softly, "Although I am better, not completely paralyzed, but walking and so on, are very inconvenient. In order to treat my disease, the family spent all the money, but also to find relatives and friends borrowed a lot, fortunately Xiao Fang understand, find a good salary job, can often subsidize the family, without her, I do not know what to do. Alas, she is still young, it's too hard for her."

Xiao Fang listened to her mother's words, due to the heart of a thief, the root of the ears are a little red, she lowered her head, holding a cup of tea, handed to Zhao Rui, voice like a mosquito said, "Brother Zhao, you please drink tea."

Zhao Rui took the cup and looked at Xiao Fang with a smile.

Remember when he first met Xiao Fang, is a pixie quirky, and quite spirited little thief, did not expect, she also has such a meek side.

Xiao Fang gave Zhao Rui laughing panic, afraid that Zhao Rui accidentally said a leak, the bottom of her out, but in front of her mother, she did not dare to talk too much, so she had to stand in place, dry anxious heart.

"By the way, Mom, have you taken all your medicine today?" Xiao Fang stood for a while, suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked a question.

"That medicine has already been eaten."

"Ah? Finished? Then I'll go later.

"Forget it, don't spend that money, this disease of mine, taking medicine can't cure it, at most it can only slightly alleviate some pain. You'd better keep the money for yourself." Xiao mother looked at her daughter with pity and stopped, "By the way, the money we borrowed from Uncle San, have you paid it back? I remember that the third aunt seems to have pressed us several times. If you have money, you should pay them back first. It doesn't matter if I'm sick."

Xiao Fang looked at her mother, her heart was unusually hard, where did she have money to pay back the debt now, it was difficult to eat.

"Their money, I have already paid it back." Xiao Fang barely squeezed out a smile and told a well-intentioned lie to appease her mother.

Just as her words fell, a shrill female voice, rang outside the door.

"Xiao Fang! Xiao Fang! Are you back!"

Before the voice hit the ground, a tall, thin, tall, skinny, round-like woman pushed open the door with a bang and burst in with a breeze. The woman wore a green flowered blouse, black pants, a little mean face, face painted with cheap foundation, like a painted wall, as if a smile, the white powder will rustle down to the ground.

A short man, in his forties, followed her with low brows and silence.

"Third uncle, third aunt, what brings you here?" Xiao Fang looked at the two people who came in, and her face instantly became very ugly.

This is really saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

"Why do you think we came?" The woman crossed her arms, glared at Xiao Fang with her small eyes, and yelled in an overbearing manner, "How long has it been since you borrowed 10,000 yuan from us? You keep saying you'll pay it back, how come there's still six thousand missing now!"

Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Fang in shock and asked, "Didn't you just say you'd paid it back?"

Xiao Fang's white jade-like teeth bit her lower lip and she had nothing to say.

When Mother Xiao saw Xiao Fang's expression, she understood her daughter's bitterness in her heart, and she couldn't bear to blame her daughter, so she said to Aunt San, "Aunt San, please give us a few more days of grace, we'll pay you back when we get the money together."

"Yes! Just give us a few more days. They are all relatives, they have difficulties for a while, after this period, they will naturally pay back." Xiao Fang's third uncle, also compensating with a smile, pleaded for mercy.

"You still have the face to say! This is all your fault! If you hadn't concealed the money from me and lent it to their mothers! Would there be so much trouble?" The third aunt steeply raised her tone, raging, and turned to her husband, splitting her head with a fierce scolding, leaving no half-heartedness.

Xiao Fang's third uncle was scolded by his wife, but did not dare to return the scolding, only saying, "They will pay back."

"Pay back?" Third Aunt Xiao Fang pulled the corners of her mouth with a smile and said pointedly, "What will they pay back with? The eldest is half sick, lying in bed and can't move, the youngest can't even afford to finish high school, what do you want them to pay back? I'm telling you, this money is just a meat bag to beat the dog, there is no return!"

"That's enough!!!"

Zhao Rui listened to this third aunt said hard, can no longer hold back, bellowed, a slap on the table, stood up.
