Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 197 Lazy Daughter-in-law - Losing Everything

No matter how much Zhou Leng disliked the other person in her heart, she still had to act like a good mother on the surface. She shouted uncertainly:

"Fan Chao? Qiumei? Why are you dressed like that? It's been such a long time, and you haven't even sent a letter home. I think you two are ungrateful. You left your two children and two old people at home, but you're out having fun."

When Fan Chao heard his mother's voice, he suddenly choked up and said:

"Mom, I'm back and I'm hungry."

Zhou Leng walked over quickly and said:

"Come in quickly, mom will cook for you. What's going on? It's been a long time since you received any letter or news from home. Your phone is turned off when I called you. You seem to have been wronged by something when you were delivering a package. Look at the two of you. Did you steal someone's things or do you owe them money?"

When Fan Chao heard his mother say this, he turned his head and wiped away the tears that were streaming down his face.

Zhou Leng led the two into the house and shouted to the west room:

"Qiheng, come out quickly and see who's back. You were still talking about him the day before yesterday. Come out and take a look."

Fan Qiheng, who was playing in the west room, got off the kang and put on his shoes. He quickly ran to the east room and saw the two people taking off their coats and putting down their bags. He shouted loudly:

"Dad, Mom, if you don't come back, I will forget what you look like. I miss you so much."

Fan Chao stepped forward, hugged his second son, kissed him and said, "Dad misses you too."

Qiumei also came over to hug her son. After all, he was born after ten months of pregnancy, so there was still some blood relationship.

After half an hour.

Zhou Leng prepared a simple meal and asked the two to eat, and they ate it ravenously.

After dinner, the four of them sat down in the east room, with Fan Qiheng sitting in his mother's arms.

Fan Chao secretly looked at his mother's face, and then said:

"Mom, you all know that Qiumei came to the city to look for me before. Two months after she arrived, she said that I had no future in the express delivery business. She met a friend named Brother Shen who introduced her to a human resources company. I met that friend a few times, and then I felt that what he said made sense. I sold the car and added the money I had saved in the past two years, and Qiumei and I started a human resources company."

Zhou Leng saw that the other party stopped talking, so she said:

"That's good, isn't it? It's more promising than working in a courier company. It's not tiring and you can make money."

Qiu Mei sneered and said:

"How can a loser like him make any money? Just listen to his nonsense." She turned to Fan Chao and said:

"What did you mean by that just now? What did you mean by me saying that you had no future in express delivery? What did you mean by my friend introducing you to human resources? Now you have learned to shirk responsibility. Didn't you agree to it at the beginning? Didn't you also call him Brother Shen when you were drinking? Now you understand again. What were you doing before? They lent you the money. It's your own fault that you were deceived because you don't have the ability!"

Fan Chao glared at Qiumei and said nothing.

Zhou Leng said with a straight face:

"Qiheng, go call grandpa back and tell him there's something urgent and ask him to come back immediately."

Fan Qiheng looked at his parents, then at his grandmother's expression. He nodded and ran out.

After Zhou Leng watched her grandson run out, she shouted:

"Stop shirking your responsibilities, Qiumei, tell me, what happened? Why are you two back now?"

Qiumei pursed her lips and said:

"We worked for that human resources company. We didn't have much experience at the beginning, and Brother Shen helped us find jobs. We felt that we couldn't do it alone, so we went to the market to find work. Before the New Year, someone asked us to find a dozen people to work for us. They were short-term workers, just three months, and each person would be paid three thousand yuan a month. We thought this was great, we could get a commission from everyone's work, so Fan Chao took nine people to work."

When Fan Chao heard this, he seemed to disagree and said:

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you say that one person can't do it? Let me go to the market to see if there are any job openings. Everything is ours."

Zhou Leng looked at his son and said:

"Shut up. If you think something is wrong, you won't refuse it. Why are you trying to shirk responsibility now?"

Qiumei glared at her husband and continued:

"Anyway, Fan Chao and his men worked for Party A for three months, but when it came time to settle the bill, the other party said that their work was not good and did not meet the engineering standards and refused to settle the bill. They also took out some contract and said that there was this clause in the contract. The contract was signed by Fan Chao and the nine people. They did the work, but Party A did not pay them. They were unfamiliar with the place, so the nine people did not dare to say anything and left. When they returned to the city, they asked us for money. If we did not give it to them, they blocked the store. In the end, we had no choice but to use our own money to compensate the nine people. Not only did we lose all the money we earned some time ago, but we also owed those people 50,000 yuan. Fan Chao even wrote them IOUs."

Fan Datian just walked in and heard the last sentence. When he heard his daughter-in-law say that she owed 50,000 yuan, he felt a little uneasy. The people in his family worked hard on the farm for a year and could not save 10,000 yuan.

Fan Datian stood at the door and cursed loudly:

"Oh my God, I can't live like this anymore. Just let me die. You spent half of our life savings when you got married. I've been raising your children for the past three years, and we can't save any money in a year. Now you're in debt. I think you want us to die!"

When Fan Chao heard his father crying, he couldn't help but slap himself twice.

Qiumei frowned and shouted loudly:

"Fan Chao, stop crying. Why are you crying?" She yelled at Zhou Leng again, "What expenses do you two have at home? Don't you have any savings after all these years?"

Zhou Leng looked at Qiu Mei's frustrated expression, she sighed and said:

"We still have more than 8,000 yuan in our hands. In recent years, the children have grown up and the expenses have increased. We have only saved this little money."

Qiumei said confidently:

"You have lived in the village your whole life and you don't have any relatives or friends. Can you go and borrow some money? Those people forced Fan Chao and I to write an IOU before we could leave. The store's loan is due in a month and we can't leave it idle for a month. If we can't pay the money when we go back, those people will eat us up."

Before Zhou Leng could say anything, Fan Datian angrily scolded:

"Fan Chao, your conscience has been eaten by dogs. You two fools were deceived and insisted on asking us to borrow money. Your mother and I are so old. Can we live a peaceful life for a few days? I don't expect you to be filial, but please don't make things difficult for us."

Zhou Leng echoed and said:

"We only have these 8,000 yuan, we don't have more. As parents, we can only help you up to this point. The money you owe is from working or whatever, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Go and pay off your debts yourself."

Fan Chao sat on the kang and cried bitterly.
