9th Story 7
Sister Wang asked again: “Xiao Xie, generally young people like you who are talented and educated are not willing to go on business trips. They are either busy dating or playing. You are different from them.”
Li Yueran said with a smile, “If I don’t come, my dad would arrest me and let me go back to a blind date for marriage.”
“Blind date marriage? What age is this, still blind date marriage? You are so beautiful and capable, but still worried about not being able to find a boyfriend? Are your parents too nervous about you?” Sister Wang said in surprise.
“I still have a younger brother.” Li Yueran only said this, but Sister Wang instantly understood.
“That’s it!”
Li Yueran smiled at her, and didn’t continue this topic. It’s good to stop, it’s not good to talk too deeply.
“Let’s go, Sister Wang, let’s go to eat. Take a rest after dinner, we will continue in the afternoon!” Li Yueran smiled while holding Sister Wang’s arm.
Sister Wang’s attitude towards her was a lot closer and she patted her hand as affectionately as she would treat her nephews, “It is said that the local seafood is a must. You young people will definitely like it, and you will have a good taste later.”
“En , Got it, thank you, Sister Wang.”
“I’m twenty years older than you, so it’s okay to call me Aunt Wang.”
“ Oh, you’re still so young, it’s not good to be called Auntie, it’s better to be called Sister Wang. “
“You kid, you can really talk.”
Father Xie and Xie Feiyang set foot on City S again. This time, both of them had experience. The two of them used a taxi to S University of Finance and Economics, but when they asked, the taxi fare would cost one or two hundred, and Father Xie couldn’t bear it, “Why don’t we take the subway!”
” It’s more convenient to take a taxi.” Xie Feiyang said.
“But the taxi fare is too expensive! We don’t know the place well, so what if he cheats on us? We don’t have much money with us,” said Father Xie.
“Then take the subway. I haven’t seen the subway anyway. Wait a minute. I’ll first look up at Baidu how many subway lines we should take to get to the University of Finance and Economics.” Xie Feiyang took out his phone. By the way, give me your order first.”
“My phone bills, it’s roaming.”
“Didn’t I just pay two hundred before going out?” Father Xie said.
“Yeah, I forgot. Let’s go, take No. 15 first, get off at ** Station, turn to No. 18, get off at ** Station, then turn to No. 23, get to ** Station, and finally turn to No. 17, and we’re there ” Xie Feiyang looked at the phone and said.
Father Xie was in the dark, when he first came to S city, he rarely went out. Occasionally he went out a few times to take the subway but he always followed Boss Zhang. He was already confused. Seeing Xie Feiyang’s confident appearance, he could only follow behind his son.
Xie Feiyang is full of self-confidence because he has a mobile phone in his hand. In fact, there are some things that can’t be learned by Baidu with a mobile phone. The father and son became dizzy at the subway station and couldn’t tell the north from the south. Xie Feiyang had no choice but to ask passers-by where to go. They went over there, but before they could see the street sign, the subway arrived at the station, and the people on the train swarmed up, and the father and son were squeezed onto the subway by the crowd. After waiting for the subway, the two realized that they had taken the wrong subway. This was not the 15th subway, but the 51st subway!
Xie Feiyang hurriedly took out his mobile phone to Baidu, but the signal on the subway was not good, and sometimes there was no signal. Xie Feiyang had no choice but to wait for the subway to arrive, and hurriedly dragged Xie’s father to get off. After checking for a long time, Xie Feiyang was not sure about the route, and Xie’s father was also dizzy,
“Forget it, let’s not take the subway, just take a taxi! It’s okay even if it more expensive!”
Xie’s father and son decided to take the taxi and hurried walking out of the station, but when the crowd pushed, they couldn’t tell the difference between east, west, north and south. The father and son walked around the subway station in a daze for more than half an hour before they walked out of the subway station under the guidance of kind passers-by. The moment the father and son came out, they squatted on the side of the road at the same time, “Oh my God, I will never take the subway again.”
“Let’s go, let’s go by car!” Father Xie stood up first, thinking of pulling his son, when he stretched out his hand, he thought of his illness and quickly withdrew his hand.
“What time is it, I’m thirsty and hungry! Let’s find a place to eat!” Xie Feiyang said.
Father Xie nodded, “Where are you going to eat!” Xie Feiyang stood up, looked around, and chose a restaurant that looked good. The father and son went in, ordered three dishes and one soup, and the father and son ate for two but after finishing, the bill was four hundred and five! Father Xie’s eyes widened, “Just these few dishes cost more than four hundred? This is money grabbing!”
The waiter looked professionally trained, and still smiled gently, “Sir, the fish you ordered is imported from Japan, and it costs two hundred a piece! And the vegetables you ordered are all from our farm. Its green and pollution-free, vegetables grown on the Internet are definitely worth the money.”
Father Xie held his head up, “Don’t tell me that there is nothing, tell you that I also stayed in S City for a few months, you don’t try to lie to me.”
The waiter frowned, although he still had a smile on his face, there was some disdain and contempt in his eyes, “Sir, our menus are all marked with prices. When you ordered before, you should have read it. When you pay the bill now, you said it was too expensive, which is a bit outrageous! If you want to renege on the bill, I’m sorry, we have to call the police.”.
Xie Feiyang was thin-skinned, seeing everyone around looking at it from the side, he suddenly felt hot on his face, and he quickly pulled Father Xie, “Forget it, Dad, give the money quickly, many people are watching, don’t be ashamed.”
He took out a stack of money from his pocket, took out a stack of money, counted five and handed it to the waiter, who took out a fifty and handed it to him, “Walk slowly, welcome again next time.”
Xie father glares at him, “You are a black spot, you still want me to come again next time, it’s a good idea!”
Walking out of the shop, Xie Feiyang also rolled his eyes, “Damn, it’s just those few dishes, you actually want so much money. This is too dark! Dad, haven’t you stayed in S City for a few months? Why don’t you know anything about it?”
“I ate box lunches at that time. How could I have eaten in such a place!” Father Xie sighed thinking half of the train ticket is gone. We have to find your sister quickly, otherwise, we might lose the train ticket to go home in the end.”
“When I find her, I will beat her with a few big slaps. It’s all her fault and is the same as that of the aunts, just be honest and obedient! Otherwise, there would be no such thing!” Xie Feiyang said angrily.
“Not being honest, but she will be honest after a few beats!” Father Xie said with a gloomy face.
“Let’s go, let’s take a taxi to school.” Xie Feiyang said.
The father and son got into a taxi and said they were going to the University of Finance and Economics. The taxi driver nodded and took them around for a long time. Xie Feiyang and Father Xie sat in the back, watching the numbers on the meter keep going up, they were so scared that they couldn’t breathe and when they got to the place, it stated two hundred and eight! Father Xie felt heart ache. Xie Feiyang also felt distressed, but at least he got to the place, saving trouble. As soon as the taxi received the money, it ran away immediately. Father Xie felt that his heart was bleeding. With such kung fu, he had already lost almost 800 yuan. Why can he spend this money so much?
Xie Feiyang looked at the place, “Is it here? Why is it different from what is said on the Internet?”
A security guard came by, “This is the University of Finance and Economics, who are you? What are you here for?”
“Is this the University of Finance and Economics? Why is it different from the photos on the Internet?” Xie Feiyang handed the phone to the other party to see.
The security guard looked at it, “Oh, that’s the main entrance on the Internet, and this is the west gate. You must have not explained clearly to the taxi driver. Why are you here?”
“Oh, that’s right, my sister is also from the University of Finance and Economics . She just graduated, something happened at home, we want her to go home, but we didn’t have her contact information, so I want to ask the teachers if they knows?” Xie Feiyang said.
“Oh? Just raduated last year, that’s the 12th grade. What’s the major? What’s her name?” the security guard asked.
“I don’t know about her major, but her name is Xie Feiyan from Province A.” Xie Feiyang said.
“Oh, Xie Feiyan! I know, she is very famous. I heard that her family is poor, and they only gave her 10,000 yuan for four years in college. But even so, her grades in professional courses are all first class. From the School of Accounting, here is a map, you can find it!” After finished speaking, the security guard handed him a map.
Xie Feiyang took the map and walked forward with Father Xie. Watching them walk away, the security guard said a few words on the walkie-talkie. Xie’s father and son walked for half an hour before finding the School of Accounting and then the teacher’s office. There happened to be a teacher sitting inside,
“Hello! Do you know Xie Feiyan?” Xie Feiyang asked.
“Xie Feiyan? I’m her counselor. Who are you?” The teacher raised his glasses and looked at them.
“My name is Xie Feiyang, I’m her younger brother. This is my dad. It’s like this. Something happened to my family. I want my sister to go back, but I can’t find my sister. I was just thinking maybe the teacher know where she works and her contact information?” Xie Feiyang pulled Father Xie to sit down and said.
“Oh, you’re from Xie Feiyan’s family. You came just in time, I’m looking for her too!” The teacher stood up and took out a document from the cabinet next to her.
When Xie Feiyang heard this, he felt a bad premonition, “Teacher, are you looking for her too? Why are you looking for her? “
“Didn’t you pay her tuition when she was in college? She applied for a student loan, a total of 50,000 yuan. It makes sense that she has graduated now, so it’s time to pay back the money. As a result, the bank has been unable to receive her repayment, and calls the school. She doesn’t even have a mobile phone number. I asked her classmates, her classmates said that she went to other places and is no longer in S City. I am still worried, she borrowed 50,000 yuan at the beginning, and now it should be more than 60,000 yuan including the interest. Since you are her family, you came just in time , help her pay back the money!” After finished speaking, the teacher handed a document to Xie Feiyang.
Although Xie Feiyang has read books and knows how to read but he didn’t know these twists and turns, but after a few glances, he saw the bright red official seal and Xie Feiyan’s signature on it, so he believed it, but Xie Feiyang was still a little confused. “Isn’t my sister on a work-study program? Then why does she still owe so much money!”
“Her work-study program can only earn some living expenses. Tuition fees and dormitory management fees cost more than 10,000 yuan a semester. Do the math! Aren’t you her relatives? Go to the bank with me now and pay back the money!”
“No, she called home in the past few months, and the number displayed was the number of City S. She should return the money since she still in City S!” Father Xie said suddenly.
The teacher obviously didn’t expect Father Xie to come up with such a clever stroke, and was a little taken aback. However, Xie Feiyang felt that he had seen the world better than his father, and said, “Oh, there is a kind of Internet phone that can display the caller’s number at will.” Xie Feiyang let out a cry, and Xie Feiyang asked in a low voice: “Then what should we do now? Help her pay off the debt?”
Father Xie rolled his eyes at him, “I only help her pay off the debt if I’m crazy! Go away!” Xie Feiyang thought so too, he and Father Xie glanced at each other, taking advantage of the teacher’s unpreparedness and the two of them immediately ran out, the teacher pretended to chase after them,
“Hey, don’t go, pay back the money!”
Xie’s father and son ran for a long time, and finally threw him away. They just took a breathed sigh of relief when they saw the security guard they met just now bring a teacher-like person over, “Hey, yes, it’s them. You are Xie Feiyan’s family, right? She is Xie Feiyan’s dormitory administrator Teacher Wang last year, she had an appendicitis operation, and Teacher Wang paid for her medical treatment. It was 4,000 yuan, but Xie Feiyan didn’t pay it back. You guys are here, just in time, help her pay back the money!”
The so-called Teacher Wang even took out her mobile phone , “I have to tell Teacher Zhang that Xie Feiyan’s family is here, and the student loan money has not been repaid yet!”
Xie’s father and son looked at each other and said, “We don’t know Xie Feiyan, You got it wrong.” Then they ran away.
After running out, Xie’s father and son did not dare to stay, got into a taxi, went directly to the station, bought a few barrels of instant noodles then took the train back to their hometown.
Zhang Feifei was in a spa beauty parlor, and received a call, “Hello, Miss Zhang? The matter has been settled, the Xie family have already boarded the train back to their hometown. I guess they will not dare to come to S city again.”
Zhang Feifei smiled satisfied “Okay, thank you. I will transfer the money to you later.” After hanging up the phone, Zhang Feifei transferred the money to the other party on WeChat, and then sent a voice message to her friend, “Honey, the matter has been successfully resolved. Your father and you younger brother has already returned to hometown. How to solve it, you have to call them tomorrow and you will know. You must treat me to dinner when you come back!
Li Yueran didn’t know what Zhang Feifei did to make Xie’s father and son return without success, but before she called to ask Zhang Feifei, Sister Wang called her. After finishing the work, she ask Feifei carefully.
Xie’s father and son returned home in disgrace. As soon as Xie’s mother saw that there was no one behind them, she immediately asked: “What? You find didn’t her?”
Xie Feiyang scolded: “Mom, you don’t know, this Xie Feiyan is too much, she a jinx, she owes tens of thousands of dollars to the bank and the teacher! She is so courageous! What is she doing outside these few years? Is she only caring about enjoying herself!”
Mother Xie didn’t quite understand. “What the hell is going on?! How can she owe the bank money if she is so good!”
Father Xie said with a gloomy face, “Hmph! That damn girl, who has no money to go to school, applied for a student loan, and owes the bank 50,000 to 60,000 yuan She ran away, and the school teacher was also looking for her! Fortunately, we ran so fast, otherwise, the debt of tens of thousands of dollars would have fallen on our heads. Nima,”
“What! She is so courageous! She is still borrowing money from outside? She is really going to die, why did I raise such a prodigal girl!” Xie’s mother cried and scolded for a while, then asked, “Then what should I do now? What can I say at the other end of the Wang family, that’s a million dollars!”
“If the school teacher knows the whereabouts of that dead girl, it’s okay for us to pay her back the tens of thousands of dollars! What are tens of thousands of dollars! But now even her school teacher doesn’t know her whereabouts! No wonder she dared not leave her contact information, it turns out she owes a huge debt!” Father Xie said angrily.
“The other side of Wang’s house?” Mother Xie hesitated.
“What else can I do? Push it! What a family misfortune! The family is unfortunate!” Father Xie said angrily.
Xie Feiyang’s mother and Xie Feiyang, was also cursing at Xie Feiyan. They seemed to have completely forgotten that if they provided Xie Feiyan with college tuition fees, why would Xie Feiyan take out so-called student loans? After the second aunt of the Xie family received a call from Xie’s mother, she was a little surprised, “What’s wrong? Why did you turn down the Wang family? Did that girl Feiyan didn’t want to? You are too soft. This What a great opportunity, after passing this village, there will be no such store.”
Mother Xie sighed, “His second aunt, you don’t know, his father and Fei Yang went to S city, but they didn’t find her. This girl is so annoying, she owed tens of thousands of dollars in debt outside. In order to avoid the debt, she hid, even the teacher does not know her whereabouts. Tell me, if even no one can be found, how can we do this!”
The second aunt Xie sighed, “Okay, that’s the only way, just forget it.”
Xie’s mother hung up the phone and sighed, “What should I do now? The Wang family’s can’t be done, you must see a doctor, where does the money come from?”
Father Xie sat on a chair smoking a stuffy cigarette without saying a word.
“I really don’t care, ask his aunts to borrow?” Xie Mu said.
“Don’t go! Is it not embarrassing enough!” Father Xie roared.
“Why are you yelling at me, shame, you still know shame, if you know shame, don’t do it in the first place! If you don’t borrow money, where can you get the money to see a doctor?” Xie Mu stood up with her hands on her hips, she shouted at Father Xie.
“I’ll figure it out myself, don’t worry about it!” Father Xie said with his head down, then stood up and walked out.
“, Who do you think you are when you said you think of a way! If you can figure out a way, I’ll write my name backwards.” Mother Xie was bouncing behind.
Father Xie ignored her, walked towards the back of the mountain, rummaged around, found a few herbs that are refreshing and detoxifying, pulled them out and took them back. He thought about it, instead of going to the hospital to spend all that money, it’s better to find a way by himself, wash it with salt water, anti-inflammatory and sterilizing, in short, it can’t be bad.
When Li Yueran came back from her business trip, the first thing she did was to call Zhang Feifei out. Zhang Feifei had been working hard for many days. Seeing Li Yueran, without waiting for her to ask, she immediately started talking like offering a treasure. After listening to this, Li Yueran felt both funny and helpless, “Can they really figure it out, am I adopted?”
Zhang Feifei looked at Li Yueran’s face, and gently patted her hand, “Feiyan, don’t be like this, it’s good to know what kind of people they are, so you don’t have unrealistic expectations! In the future, just treat yourself as an orphan! Don’t tell me okay, those relatives of yours are not good things! Why don’t you just forget about them!”
Li Yueran smiled bitterly, “Feifei, I actually don’t understand why I am here. In the eyes of those people, no matter how good a daughter is, she can’t compare to a son. My dad is like this, but why is my mother like this? She is also a woman!”
“Don’t feel too bad. There is no way, the more remote the place, the more serious this patriarchal thought. Have you read, there is a news on the Internet that reports the exorbitant price of betrothal gifts in rural areas? There are many comments from netizens. One of the comments said, her eldest daughter 25 years ago, was killed in the village. Her second daughter was drowned at birth 23 years ago. Her third daughter was found to be a girl 20 years ago when she was 5 months old she was abolished. Alas! In the final analysis, it was all caused by patriarchal thinking. The ratio of men to women is seriously out of balance.” Zhang Feifei said.
Li Yueran raised the corner of her mouth, “I know all about it. From now on, I just as I tell you, just treat me as an orphan!”
Zhang Feifei thought of something, and frowned, “Are you still in touch with your family? “
Li Yueran thought of something, and said with a smile: “Of course I have to contact. If I don’t, how can they believe that I really owe a huge sum of money! What if it’s like in my dream, my brother wants a bride price when he gets married? Mom can’t help it. Sooner or later, she will still get her ideas on me. Feifei, this is what I think. If there is a chance in the future, if I can be transferred to a branch office, I will go. I don’t want to be entangled by them, they Just like a vampire, once they find me, I will either die or be injured.”
Zhang Feifei thought for a while, “Okay, tell me where you are transferred.”
“Why, you still want to follow?!” Li Yueran asked with a smile.
“I can marry him! Hahahaha, just kidding.” Zhang Feifei laughed.
“What do you want to eat at noon, I’ll treat you!” Li Yueran smiled, “As for the money you paid for the detective, I can’t pay it off in one go, so I can only pay it in installments.”
Zhang Feifei said with a smile: ” Isn’t I’m your biggest creditor?”
“Yes, my big creditor, the Japanese food we ate last time was good, let’s eat that at noon! Don’t worry, I’ve paid the travel allowance, it’s okay to treat you to a Japanese food, okay.” Li Yueran pulled Zhang Feifei and said.
“No more Japanese food, let’s have steak and another glass of red wine?”
“Okay, you are the creditor, I listen to you.”
