Chapter 1169: Got a treasure unexpectedly!
"Hey, is this the car Zhang Ruoling drove back? This car looks quite new. Zhang Ruoling, did you buy it?" An auntie looked at Zhang Ruoling and said with a smile. She was one of the few aunties who cared about Zhang Ruoling's family.
Before Zhang Ruoling could answer the kind-hearted lady's question, Wan Yueying immediately took over the conversation, "How is that possible? He just graduated, and his family still has a lot of debts to pay off. How can he afford to buy a car?"
Wan Yueying looked at him sarcastically and said, "Zhang Ruoling, whose car did you borrow to drive back here to show off?"
Her sarcasm regardless of the occasion also made Yang Xiaoli look a little embarrassed. Over the years, she had borrowed money from some neighbors to pay for Zhang Ruoling's tuition. The old lady who borrowed her previously had borrowed 10,000 or 20,000 yuan and hadn't paid it back yet. Now that it was said like this directly, she was embarrassed, but she was mainly worried that her son would lose face.
Just when he was hesitating and at a loss, Zhang Ruoling took out a bag from the car and took out 17 yuan from it. He took this on the way to the county town. He knew that although mobile phones were popular now, most people in his hometown still used cash, so it was more convenient to withdraw it.
"Aunt Chen, my mother has borrowed tuition from you all these years. Since you happen to be here today, I will return it to you directly." Zhang Ruoling took out three stacks of money and handed them to the aunt who had spoken earlier.
The amount he borrowed for his studies did not exceed 2 yuan, but he paid back 3 yuan as a reward to the aunt.
The tens of thousands of yuan that followed were also returned to the borrowers on the spot. Those who were not present were temporarily given to my mother for safekeeping.
Zhang Ruoling's sudden move stunned Wan Yueying. Where did this guy get so much money? Impossible, he just graduated, it's impossible for him to have so much savings.
unless……
"Zhang Ruoling, is this money of yours fake?" Wan Yueying continued to find fault. She would never believe that a poor boy like Zhang Ruoling could become rich.
"Auntie Wan, please don't be so harsh." A young man stepped forward and said, "You said before that he didn't pay you back, but now that he has paid you back, you say he is a liar. What's going on? Did he owe you money? Why are you talking nonsense here?"
It was Aunt Chen's son Chen Jiaxing who spoke up, "Mom, this money is real. It should have just been withdrawn from the bank."
"Hey, how can you talk like that, little brat? Don't you know how to respect your elders?!" Wan Yueying was embarrassed and changed the subject with a blushing face.
"Of course I respect friendly elders, but forget it about you. You keep talking nonsense all day long, aren't you afraid of getting a sore tongue?" Chen Jiaxing said directly, not afraid of offending her.
Aunt Chen felt that what he said was a bit too much, so she twisted her son's arm.
Zhang Ruoling looked at Wan Yueying at this time and said, "Ms. Wan, although we are relatives, my family has never borrowed a penny from you, and you have no right to shout here. My family and your family have nothing to do with each other, and it is best to keep it this way."
"I have nothing to say to you. I'm giving you a piece of advice for my uncle's sake. Be a little more kind in your words to avoid retribution." The first time Zhang Ruoling saw Wan Yueying, he knew that this woman was sick, and it was not a mild one.
Seeing that she had made herself look bad, Wan Yueying cursed a few words and walked away. Zhang Ruoling's mother then treated some neighbors to tea. After a while, everyone left. At this time, Zhang Ruoling's father, Wang Dehai, also came back.
"Dad." Zhang Ruoling didn't communicate much with his father, but the relationship between father and son was beyond words.
"You're back." Wang Dehai looked at his son who had grown taller than himself, his eyes full of relief. His son, who had never given him any worries, was his pride, although he never said it out loud.
"Yeah." Zhang Ruoling nodded, and the family of three helped cook in the kitchen.
Yang Xiaoli finally couldn't help but ask, "Son, where did you get all that money from? And that car?
Wang Dehai was also stunned, "Did you drive that car back?" He thought it was driven by someone else and just parked in front of his house.
"Dad, Mom, this is what happened..." Zhang Ruoling briefly outlined how he treated Jiang Yueying and Zhao Cheng. Of course, he left out some special details. "It was like this. They gave me a sum of money as medical expenses, and I bought a car and took out some money to pay back those people."
"So that's how it is." The old couple nodded. They trusted their son, so even though they didn't know much about the medical industry, they still believed it naturally.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you two." Zhang Ruoling looked up at his parents and said, "I now have a stable job in the city with a good income. I have rented a big house and I want you to live with me so that we can be together as a family and take care of each other."
The old couple was stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and saw the same concerns in each other's eyes.
After a while, Yang Xiaoli finally spoke, "Son, we all understand your intentions, but if our family of three all go to that city, I'm afraid the daily expenses will be high. Your father is an honest worker and doesn't make much money from his work. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it by yourself."
"Your mother is right. If you miss home, just come back more often when you have time. As for the city, we won't go there anymore." Wang Dehai also nodded.
Zhang Ruoling knew that his parents would definitely react in this way, and only after he explained to them in detail his current savings and basic future income did the old couple reluctantly agree. This was based on Zhang Ruoling's swearing that he could indeed afford it.
In the evening, the family of three had dinner, took a short rest in the living room, and began to pack their luggage.
After packing several large bags of things for more than an hour and stuffing them into the car, Zhang Ruoling returned to the room to rest.
Lying on the bed and smelling the familiar scent, Zhang Ruoling fell asleep soon.
Early the next morning, Wang Dehai was busy in the vegetable garden. He knew that he might not be able to come back for a long time, so he took away all the vegetables he could. If he could not take anything away, he would tell his neighbors and let them pick and eat them themselves.
After Zhang Ruoling got up, he saw his father digging sweet potatoes in the field, so he went over to help.
As the hoe went down, Zhang Ruoling felt as if the hoe had hit something like iron, so he pulled it out and saw that it was indeed a piece of iron. Wang Dehai was no longer surprised by these things, as it was normal to encounter these things while digging.
Zhang Ruoling was stunned when he saw the piece of iron. He could clearly feel a pure spiritual energy flowing in his hand. This time he had picked up a treasure!
