Chapter 259: Liar, pay back the money!

The car in front of the door looked new and beautiful, and it was obvious that it wasn't cheap.

Shen Cuizhi was simply amazed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen smiled and said, 'Mom, get in the car first, we'll talk about it on the way.'

Ji Pianran carefully took Tiantian from Shen Cuizhi's hands and sat in the back seat.

Gu Chen opened the passenger door and let her mother get in before getting in the car and starting the engine.

The family headed towards the town.

Ever since she got in the car, Shen Cuizhi's heart had been uneasy, and she kept looking around and feeling around.

The more she looked, the more scared she became.

Her doubts gradually grew, and they were about what Gu Chen had been doing for the past month and a half.

The car must have cost at least 100,000 yuan, so what could she have possibly done in a month to earn that much money?

She sat in the passenger seat, swallowed hard, and her expression couldn't help but become serious.

After a long while, she couldn't hold back any longer and turned to look at Gu Chen.

Her tone was full of nervousness, 'Chen'er, you better tell your mother what you've been doing out there.'

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen was taken aback.

'I didn't do anything. I'm still selling vegetables, the same as always. But recently I've rented a lot of land in the village and started planting. I hope there'll be a good harvest.'

Shen Cuizhi rolled her eyes.

That was hardly convincing.

She was in her fifties, and she had seen it all.

The old saying had it all: money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat.

Even if Gu Chen is diligent and hardworking, he can only earn a thousand yuan a month at most.

Buying a car in a month and a half is just impossible.

'Tell your mother, I can handle it!' Shen Cuizhi's tone was grave.

Ji Bianran hurriedly explained, sensing that the atmosphere was not quite right.

'Mom, Gu Chen bought some valuable medicinal herbs a while ago, such as cordyceps, which cost more than 100 yuan each. He really earned this money himself,'

'And, now they've also contracted to farm land and are going to grow grain. In the future, our lives will only get better and better!'

Ji Pianran's tone was full of certainty.

She was now full of hope for her life with Gu Chen.

Seeing her daughter-in-law say this, Shen Cuizhi let out a sigh of relief.

'Then we must never do anything illegal, and we must never learn from your brother. What kind of trouble is this?'

Afterwards, she continued, 'Chen'er has been smart since she was little, but she never used her intelligence for the right reasons. Now, she has finally turned her head and is going to make something of herself. Mom is relieved to see you both doing well.'

Parents naturally feel happy when their children are capable.

If it weren't for Gu Zhigang's business, Shen Cuizhi's heart would have been happy, otherwise Shen Cuizhi would have made a big meal and celebrated with Gu Chen.

It must be said that driving is much faster than riding a bicycle. C originally took half an hour to get there, but it took less than ten minutes.

Gu Chen first drove to the bank in town, after all, he had to withdraw money first.

At this time, the little guy was already sleeping soundly.

Ji Pianran carefully placed the little guy in her arms on the seat and was about to get out of the car.

It was already night, and it was dark.

Gu Chen was worried about Ji Pianran, so the couple simply got out of the car together.

The self-service banking area was actually a small glass room with an ATM inside.

Ji Bianran glanced at the back of the card and saw that it had his birthday written on it.

He immediately inserted the card into the ATM and followed it by entering the password, which was displayed on the screen.

Balance: 100,000.00

Gu Chen was shocked when he saw the numbers on the screen.

This mother-in-law is really generous, giving 100,000 yuan as a change of heart fee.

Is she forcing herself to be a kept man?

Luckily, she has a strong willpower. If she were ordinary people, she would not be able to withstand the Ji family's financial attack.

Ji Pianran pressed a few numbers on the keypad and then pressed confirm.

She heard the machine ringing non-stop and a stack of bills was withdrawn.

There were four withdrawals, 40,000 yuan in total.

She was going to pay off the debt and give the rest of the money to her mother-in-law for her retirement.

After all, her eldest brother and second brother are barely getting by.

The family relies on their parents' retirement pay to make ends meet.

If the elderly person gets sick or has an accident, they really won't be able to afford medicine.

Seeing her withdraw so much money in one go, Gu Chen was shocked.

'Why withdraw so much money?'

Ji Pianran blinked and said honestly, 'I originally wanted to withdraw 50,000 yuan, but the bank also stipulated that 50,000 yuan is considered a large amount. Since we were running out of time, I withdrew 40,000 yuan first.'

'After paying back the money that Big Brother owes, I want to give the rest to my parents so that they can buy things. The elderly need more things as they get older, so they need health products, medicine, and clothes, all of which cost money.'

Seeing Ji Pianran's serious expression, Gu Chen was moved.

What a good daughter-in-law, why didn't I know how to cherish her in my previous life?

He reached out and took Ji Pianran into his arms. 'Daughter-in-law, thank you.'

Ji Pianran was taken aback, then laughed and looked up at him.

'There's nothing to thank me for.'

Without her mother-in-law, she wouldn't be where she is today. She gave her a second life, and she was the one who made Gu Chen marry her.

When their lives get better in the future, she'll give them an even better life.

Gu Chen stroked her head before saying, 'Let's go.'

The two of them got the money and got into the car, heading all the way towards Shen Cuizhi's house.

They had only just reached Shen Cuizhi's doorstep when they saw a crowd of people gathered there from afar, as if there had been an argument.

Ji Pianran had never seen so many people before, and she said nervously, 'Are those people there asking for money?'

Upon hearing her say that, Shen Cuizhi also hurriedly looked over there.

When she saw clearly who those people were, she slapped her thigh.

Anxiously, she said, 'That's Xiao He!'

She guessed that it was Gu He who had an argument with those people who came to ask for money.

After all, people were blocking the front door every day, and there were even groups of strangers at meals.

This annoyed everyone.

Hearing that it was Er Ge, Gu Chen also became anxious, and immediately put the car in gear and drove directly over.

Hearing the sound of the car's engine, several people who were causing trouble turned their heads and looked over.

Gu He was surrounded in the middle, and when he saw Gu Chen get out of the car, he was even more surprised.

He first looked at the car, and then stared at Gu Chen with wide eyes.

Then he spoke: 'Why did you come back?'

When they heard Gu He say this, everyone instantly understood that the person who had come was also a Gu family member!

They immediately surrounded Gu Chen, 'When are you going to pay back the money you owe?'

'Exactly, Gu Zhigang has screwed us over really badly. If you don't pay back the money, we'll call the police!'

'If you don't pay back the money today, none of you will be able to leave!'

Everyone was shouting at the same time, all urging for the money to be paid back.

Some even pushed Gu Chen.

After all, it's not easy for anyone to earn money, and Gu Zhigang cheated them out of their hard-earned money!

They all thought they would get rich, so they followed him, but now they don't even have their capital back.

Naturally, they are all unwilling.

Shen Cuizhi saw her son being pushed and was so anxious that she immediately wanted to get off the bus.
