1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 326 Debt 2 Clearance

After Xu Damao left angrily, Yi Zhonghai carefully counted the four hundred yuan in front of him, and asked Qin Huairu to take out the two hundred yuan that Xu Damao gave him yesterday.

He looked at the thick stack of money in his hand. Although he felt reluctant, he also knew that this was the money he had to pay back to Sha Zhu.

"Huai Ru, I'll go call Sha Zhu over right now. You don't feel safe keeping this money in your hands. In order to avoid any more trouble, you'd better pay back the money you owe to Sha Zhu!" Yi Zhonghai said to Qin Huai Ru.

Qin Huairu nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll feel relieved if I can pay Shazhu back sooner."

Yi Zhonghai immediately went to the main room, knocked on the door, and called Sha Zhu to come out.

"Zhu Zi, are you in the house?"

In the room, Sha Zhu was standing beside Chen Lanxiang, smiling at his son who was about to fall asleep.

When he heard a knock on the door, Sha Zhu was wondering who was outside so late?

"coming!"

Sha Zhu opened the door with confusion, and saw Yi Zhonghai standing at the door, so he quickly greeted him.

"It's an old man! What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Zhu Zi, it's about the Jia family paying back the money. Qin Huairu has raised the money today. You can go over with the IOU."

When he learned that it was about the Jia family paying back the money, Sha Zhu frowned slightly. Although he was surprised, he quickly agreed.

"Sure, I'll go get the IOU right away!"

Sha Zhu hurried to the Jia family with the IOU.

His figure seemed somewhat anxious in the dim light, as he thought that the money owed by the Jia family would finally be repaid.

Arriving at the door of the Jia family, Sha Zhu took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the door.

The door opened and Qin Huairu stood at the door. The moment she saw Sha Zhu, her eyes became a little complicated. Sha Zhu no longer greeted her with a smile as he used to.

But Sha Zhu didn't even look at her and walked straight into the house.

In the room, Yi Zhonghai was sitting at the table with a serious expression, looking like the boss.

After Sha Zhu entered the room, he walked straight to Yi Zhonghai and handed him the IOU.

Yi Zhonghai took the IOU, looked at it, nodded, then took the prepared money from Qin Huairu and handed it to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu took the money and started counting it carefully in front of the two of them.

His fingers flipped the banknotes quickly, his eyes focused and determined.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of Shazhu counting money.

After a while, Sha Zhu counted the money and found that it was exactly the same as the amount on the IOU.

He raised his head and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, this amount of money is just right, not too much or too little, so I'll take it. You can deal with the IOU! It's so late, I won't stay any longer, I'm going back."

Sha Zhu put the money into his pocket and walked out without stopping.

"Okay, then I'll tear up the IOU, and from now on the debt between your two families will be settled!"

Yi Zhonghai tore up the IOU while sending Sha Zhu out of the Jia family.

It’s no wonder that Sha Zhu didn’t want to stay any longer. After all, his relationship with the Jia family had already reached a freezing point.

The two families now can't even be called good neighbors, let alone anything else.

Jia Zhang almost killed his wife and children. The hatred in his heart was like a raging fire that would be difficult to extinguish in his lifetime.

Besides, Qin Huairu is now a new widow, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with her, so he just took the money and left.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's departing back, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

She knew that the two families could no longer get along as well as before.

Sha Zhu hurried back home, and as soon as he entered the house, he came up to Chen Lanxiang with a smile.

At this moment, the child on the bed had fallen asleep. Sha Zhu leaned close to Chen Lanxiang's ear and said mysteriously, "Lanxiang, guess why the old man called me over?"

Chen Lanxiang opened her eyes wide and shook her head in confusion.

Looking at her cute appearance, Sha Zhu couldn't help but give her a kiss. Then he shook the money in his hand and said, "Look what this is?" Then he handed all the money to Chen Lanxiang.

Chen Lanxiang took the money and was delighted at first, but then frowned and asked in surprise, "So much money? The Jia family paid it back? How did Qin Huairu have the money to pay it back so quickly? Jia Dongxu just passed away not long ago."

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "I find it strange too, but now that I have the money, it's always a good thing."

But the careful Chen Lanxiang discovered that something was wrong.

She said to Sha Zhu solemnly, "Zhu Zi, you should stay away from Qin Huairu in the future. Qin Huairu must have obtained this money illegally. If she had the ability to raise this money, wouldn't she have paid it back long ago? Why did she have to wait until Jia Dongxu died to pay it back?"

After listening to his wife's words, Sha Zhu thought about it carefully and felt that something was fishy.

What Chen Lanxiang said is not without reason. Jia Dongxu is unable to repay the money, so how can Qin Huairu, a widow, be able to do so?

Chen Lanxiang's words were like a seed of doubt that was planted in his heart, allowing him to have a better understanding of Qin Huairu.

In order to reassure Chen Lanxiang, he said solemnly: "Okay, wife, I got it. I will definitely stay away from her in the future."

In the east wing of the front yard, Li Weiguo sat quietly inside the room, using his consciousness to take in everything that had just happened in the yard.

He knew that for the sake of his own reputation and future, Xu Damao would definitely give the remaining money as soon as possible.

After all, Xu Damao is a young man. If he gets a reputation for being a hooligan towards female comrades, he will not only lose his job, but he will also have trouble finding a wife.

Therefore, Li Weiguo was sure that Xu Damao would not dare to delay.

However, to his surprise, Yi Zhonghai immediately repaid Sha Zhu's debt the moment he got the money.

Li Weiguo secretly calculated in his heart that if Yi Zhonghai did not pay back the money today, he would definitely not be lenient and would definitely take the money back.

Let Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu suffer a little, and then they won’t be able to cry even if they want to.

However, the current situation is not bad. Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu have solved what they think is a troublesome problem and have no worries. They will definitely relax their vigilance and reveal their flaws in the future.

Li Weiguo recalled what He Yushui had said to him during the day, that He Daqing would be back soon, and that the courtyard was becoming more and more lively, which made him look forward to the future.

When He Daqing, carrying a large package, stepped into the courtyard house again after many years, he felt very complicated.

In the package in his hand were gifts prepared for He Yushui, gadgets for his eldest grandson whom he had never met, and a gift for his future daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law mentioned by Yu Shui in the letter was a girl from the countryside.

Although he didn't understand why Sha Zhu chose to marry a rural girl.

But from He Yushui's words, one could feel her satisfaction with her sister-in-law, which made him feel more satisfied with his daughter-in-law.

And what does his eldest grandson, whom he has never met, look like?

Does she look like a fool? Or does she look more like a daughter-in-law?

He Daqing was extremely anxious and wanted to go home immediately to find out what happened.

Now, he began to regret his decision to follow the White Widow and leave the city without hesitation.

He imagined the beautiful scene if he hadn't left, taking care of his children every day, enjoying his old age and looking after his eldest grandson.

But the reality is that years of separation have made him miss too much of his children’s growth.
