Chapter 39 Pay off the debt Luo Yang's hometown is in Yang City, Jiangsu Province. It usually takes more than three hours to drive from Hongqiao Airport on weekdays. But today happened to be the National Day holiday, and it was also the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway was particularly congested, and a journey that should have taken more than three hours took more than five hours. When he got off the highway, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon. Luo Yang did not go to the city, but turned the car around and drove directly to the countryside. Because he received a call from Gu Honglan last night, asking him to go directly to the countryside when he returned home for the holiday. At this point in time, the parents had indeed moved back into their old house in the countryside. The reason the call was delayed until last night was because the couple were also struggling and didn't know how to tell their son about things at home. But he had to fight, otherwise it would be terrible if Luo Yang returned home and found that the house had been sold. It was impossible to hide it, but it was better to explain the matter face to face than for Luo Yang to hear from outsiders that his family had gone bankrupt and was in debt. However, Luo Jianguo and Gu Honglan did not know one thing: their son was reborn and knew everything a long time ago. He had been working hard to resolve the matter for nearly a month. What’s even more exaggerated is that this time Luo Yang brought back a bank card with one million yuan in it.
Walking on the familiar provincial road, I turned into a small road in less than half an hour and drove along the road built in the village all the way to my doorstep. The houses in the countryside are not like the commercial houses in the city. Although they are two-story Western-style buildings, they are surrounded by old acquaintances in the village. If there is any movement in any house, half of the village will come to watch the fun. Luo Yang was driving and saw from a distance that there were several cars parked in the open space in front of his yard, and there were many women standing around. "Beep——!" The car horn was pressed for a long time, and the sharp sound made the women at the gate of the courtyard frown and avoid it. Some of them had a bad temper and started cursing when they saw that the car had a license plate from another place. They thought the car would pass by the gate, but unexpectedly it stopped directly at the gate. "Third aunt, please ask my mother to open the gate!" The driver's window was lowered, and Luo Yang leaned out to greet his acquaintances: "Aunt Qi, Grandma Zhang, please make way." "Luo Yang?!" There was silence at first, and then the discussion became louder. "Lan Zi, Lan Zi, something bad has happened, your Luo Yang is back!" "." What are you talking about? Am I a plague god? Wouldn’t it be a good thing for me to go home? Luo Yang frowned, and before he could understand what Third Aunt meant, he saw the gate of the yard was opened. Through the front window, Luo Yang saw his mother standing there with red eyes and a face full of worry! Obviously he had just cried. A surge of anger rushed to his head. Luo Yang didn't even bother to drive the car into the yard. He got out of the car and ran to Gu Honglan. "Mom, who bullied you?" A man with fierce eyes and murderous intent! Even though he was reborn and had a mature soul in his thirties, he still couldn't bear to see his mother being bullied. "Oh, who was it? It turns out to be Luo Yang who is back." Before Gu Honglan could say anything, several people came out of the house, led by a young man in his twenties, less than meters tall, with a face full of pits and bumps, like an orange peel.
Luo Yang recognized this orange-peel face at a glance. He was the apprentice that his father took in when he was a master chef at the construction station. His name was Lu Yunbo, and he was also the most aggressive debt collector. Following behind Lu Yunbo was Ge Changrong, Luo Jianguo's second apprentice. He was in his early thirties and was obviously Luo Jianguo's senior brother, but he followed his lead. The others looked familiar, but I couldn't remember their names. Soon after, Luo Jianguo also came out, and Chu Junpeng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, followed behind his master with an anxious look on his face. Chu Junpeng is Luo Jianguo's eldest disciple, and the only one among the three disciples who has not asked the master for a debt. In the following time, he has always been helping Luo Jianguo. He was still there until Luo Yang was reborn! "Did you smell the dog food I mixed at home and come here following the smell?" Luo Yang was not polite to Lu Yunbo. Before Luo Jianguo went bankrupt, this guy was always called "Master" and "Master's Wife" and was the most diligent in visiting Luo Jianguo. Therefore, he was the most favored by Luo Jianguo, and he even gave him the most important right to purchase materials. Luo Yang remembered that after his family paid off its debts, the material suppliers that Luo Jianguo had worked with in the past occasionally talked about the past. When Lu Yunbo was in charge of purchasing materials, he was corrupt and took bribes. It was unknown how much benefits he had gained during the eight or nine years he followed Luo Jianguo. That’s not all. When it came time to pay off the debts later, Luo Jianguo first paid the teams of relatives introduced by his apprentice. Who would have thought that he would turn against them so suddenly? When the Luo family was in the most difficult time, he dragged Ge Changrong to the door to ask for their more than 100,000 yuan salary. When you are poor and destitute, even a penny can kill a brave man! "Who are you talking about, little bastard?" "Whoever responds is the one who is talking!" Luo Yang spat at Lu Yunbo with disdain: "You conscienceless bastard!" "Fuck." Just as Lu Yunbo was about to confront him, he was stopped by Chu Junpeng who came over with big strides. Chu Junpeng is a big guy of meters tall. He has been working on the construction site for a long time and has a lot of strength. In front of him, Lu Yunbo doesn't dare to act wildly. "I'm here to ask for my salary. Do I have the right to owe you money?" Feeling guilty, Lu Yunbo could only play the moral card and insist on the fact that the Luo family owed him money. "hehe." Luo Yang sneered a few times: "Let's not talk about the fact that your money belongs to the category of wages. According to relevant laws, the money must be asked from the debtor Party A first. Only when they are clearly bankrupt and their assets are liquidated, it will be my father's turn to cover the bottom. For example, you have helped my father purchase materials in the past few years. Have you done enough things that are not good for him? Do you want me to report a case and find out how much you have embezzled? After this is settled, we can talk about your wages?" "Impossible! You're talking nonsense! I didn't!" Lu Yunbo didn't dare to look directly into Luo Yang's eyes. As he said "no" three times in a row, his eyes began to wander. "Whether it is done or not, it is not up to you to decide!" Luo Yang deliberately raised his voice loudly so that everyone around him could hear: "Only those material suppliers you extorted have their say!" For a moment, the yard was extremely quiet. "Dad, tell someone to go back inside. I'll drive the car in first!" Luo Yang then spoke to Luo Jianguo: "I will first understand what happened today, and then solve them one by one. Our Luo family does not owe favors to others, nor do we keep ungrateful people!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the yard, got back into the car, started the car and drove towards his yard. "Is this a car with a Magic City license plate?" “It’s still the Audi A6.” "I remember Luo Jianguo's son was studying in the Magic City, right?" "Oh my god, no wonder I can't pay it back. I bought my son a car in Shanghai." "." All kinds of miscellaneous discussions reached Luo Yang's ears, making him angry and amused, but there was no need to get off the car to argue with those middle-aged and elderly women. The one with a more complicated expression was Gu Honglan. The scene of her son rushing over and blocking her way kept replaying in her mind. At this moment, Gu Honglan felt that it was right to have a son! It’s the end of the month, everyone please give me your monthly tickets. (End of this chapter)
