Rebirth to 90s: Start from Scratch

After dinner, Hu Jin'e collected the dishes, Zhang Qianxiu sat at the table and handed out a cigarette to his father. The two of them smoked while chatting.

Zhang Qianxiu asked: "Dad, if there is something difficult in our family, you can tell me that your son has no great skills now, but ordinary things can still be solved."

While speaking, Zhang Qianxiu looked at his father.

Zhang Aibing didn't dare to look at his son, deliberately pretending to be smoked, squinted, lowered his head, and said, "It's nothing, you and your sister are both promising now, so your mother and I will plant some of our own. I didn’t do much work in the field, and I had a good time without much trouble."

Zhang Qianxiu could obviously feel that there was something wrong with his father, but his father refused to say, and he seemed to be unable to get any results after repeated questioning.

After smoking, Zhang Qianxiu got up and said, "Dad, today I will go to the health house and take a trip to the house of Grandpa Ercai."

Zhang Aibing hurriedly said, "It's all afternoon, so don't bother others."

Zhang Qianxiu usually visits these two houses during Chinese New Year and New Year holidays, and they all bring things over.

"I usually go, but it's not good not to go today!" Zhang Qianxiu said, "I'll be back soon."

"Oh, let's go! Don't be too long at other people's place, they are also busy, come back when they send things." Zhang Aibing exhorted.

Zhang Qianxiu responded, took the things he had prepared a long time ago, and walked towards Zhang Jiankang's house, because he was closer to Zhang Jiankang's home.

After Zhang Qianxiu left the house, he immediately made a call. This call was from Wang Liangde. Wang Liangde helped Zhang Qian build the warehouse in Zhonghe and made a lot of money. He was really solid in doing things. Zhang Qianxiu gave him all the projects later.

This includes Zhang Qianxiu’s family building his own house, Wanhui expansion, and Dongtai expansion. These projects have made Wang Liangde a lot of money. He also bought a second-hand big brother and a motorcycle. He jumped from a low-level figure who once lived in a dilapidated rental house. A little boss.

Soon, Wang Liangde answered the phone: "Hey...who?"

Zhang Qianxiu said, "Master Wang, it's me, Zhang Qianxiu."

When Wang Liangde heard that it was Zhang Qianxiu, his voice immediately changed, with respect and kindness in his tone: "Boss Zhang, the Dragon Boat Festival is good."

"What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Qianxiu asked, "Did my dad tell you anything recently? Or do you know if our family has encountered any problems?"

Wang Liangde said, "Boss Zhang, I was just about to tell you!"

"Yesterday your father asked me how much it would cost if the house was decorated with only cement and lime."

"I gave him a price, but the tiles and lamps you want are relatively high-end. They are not sold in the county. I went to the market to ask. There are not many goods in the city. I gave you the sample last time. At that time, the boss wanted to purchase the goods specially, and the price was more than ten percent higher. You agreed, and I gave a deposit. Now the lights, tiles, and marbles have been shipped to the county. You will change it to Ordinary decoration is not easy for me!"

"I don't mean anything else. If you really want to pretend to be ordinary, I can bear the loss, but I will find a way to sell these things then."

"If all these items are sold and they are to be restocked, it may take a month or two. If the house is completely renovated, it will take place in August and September."

Zhang Qianxiu frowned and said, "Master Wang, the decoration is still in accordance with the previously negotiated plan. If my dad can't settle the project fund for you, you can come to me."

Wang Liangde was overjoyed immediately, if he changed someone else, he would not bear the material loss.

But this person is Zhang Qianxiu, and Wang Liangde himself knows very well that Zhang Qianxiu’s support for his development is entirely supported by Zhang Qianxiu. Even if the materials are expensive, he may be in debt, but he is still willing to grit his teeth as long as Zhang Qianxiu later. Give him back the project, he will earn it back sooner or later.

Now Zhang Qianxiu said that he didn't have to bear these losses according to the original costume, and that was naturally better.

Wang Liangde hurriedly said, "Boss Zhang, this is okay, then I will talk about your father's side, or do you say it yourself?"

"Let's talk about it myself! Master Wang, do you know why my father switched to ordinary decoration?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

Wang Liangde laughed dryly, and said, "Boss Zhang, this...I have heard some wind."

"I said all this by hearsay, if you make a mistake, don't mind."

The more Zhang Qianxiu listened, the more he felt that the matter was not simple: "It's okay, just tell me what you hear."

Wang Liangde said: "Boss Zhang, I heard people say that your father lost more than 1 million in gambling and owed more than 800,000 outside. Someone went to your house to ask for debts a few days ago."

Zhang Qianxiu frowned again and again. Now in the era when ten thousand households are rich, he lost more than one million. This is an astronomical figure.

Zhang Qianxiu was really angry. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Wang Liangde: "Master Wang, you can directly ask me about the salary of my house in the future. If I am in the county seat, I will pay you the bill immediately. If not, I Send you money or wait until I come back from another place to check out the bill for you."

"Yes, it's okay! I don't worry about checking out the bill for Boss Zhang." Wang Liangde said with a smile.

Wang Liangde has also done a lot of work for Zhang Qianxiu. Zhang Qianxiu never owes him money. He can basically get the money when he should be paid. Even if something happens occasionally, say a certain time, the next time you come to get it. , I can definitely get it.

After Zhang Qianxiu hung up the phone, he went to Zhang Jiankang's house first.

Zhang Jiankang was very happy to see Zhang Qianxiu, but Zhang Shunfa and Zhang Jiankang's grandfather seemed to have something to say, and they were embarrassed to say.

Zhang Qianxiu also guessed that it was probably because his father owed money.

Originally Zhang Qianxiu didn't want to say anything, but thinking about his father's gambling, would he owe the villagers money, so he asked: "Uncle Shunfa, did my dad gamble after the Chinese New Year?"

Zhang Shunfa said, "Qianxiu, I was just about to tell you about this. It's hard for us outsiders to talk too much."

"Your dad came back from the county town after the New Year. He was very generous. He often stuffed a few packs of cigarettes in his pocket, and they were all good cigarettes. They cost ten yuan a pack, and sometimes they just gave someone a pack."

"People are often called to drink at your house. As long as they go, they will give people something, including meat, sugar, fruit, tobacco and alcohol."

"I have been there several times, and he directly gave me a piece of Hongta Mountain, one hundred yuan!"

"Uncle Ercai also went. He gave two bottles of Wuliangye, both of which are more than 60 bottles of good wine."

"The things your dad gave to our two families are more expensive, but the others are not bad. One or two catties of meat, one or two packs of cigarettes, just give them as they please."

"He also bought a motorcycle and studied in the village for a few days. After learning, he likes to go out shopping after he has nothing to do."

"A few days ago, your dad suddenly stopped inviting people to eat. He went out to play every day, and sometimes he didn't come back at night."

"Later the motorcycle was gone, so he walked out."

"About ten days ago, a group of people suddenly came to the village and said they were asking your dad for the bill, and that your dad owed them money. I don't know how much it is. Some said 800,000, and some One million, and 1.8 million."

"Anyway, it's a lot."

"Everyone in the village knows that no one dared to say that your dad didn't come out recently. I went to see it once and didn't dare to mention it."

When Zhang Qianxiu heard these actions of his father, the nouveau riche didn't know how to use the money.

"Uncle Shunfa, has he come to you to borrow money?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

Zhang Shunfa said: "It's not much money. The things your dad gave us are worth a lot of money."

"The gift is given, and the money borrowed is borrowed. No matter how much money is borrowed, it will be repaid." Zhang Qianxiu asked, "How much did he borrow?"

"It's not much, more than eight thousand six hundred yuan." Zhang Shunfa said.

In the past, Zhang Shunfa's family couldn't get ten dollars, but now they can lend Zhang Aibing more than 8,000, which shows that their life is really better.

Zhang Qianxiu didn’t bring so much money with him, and said, “Uncle Shun Fat, I’ll pay you back this money another day. I didn’t bring the money today. In the future, my dad will come to borrow money. Just tell him that I won’t let you borrow it. If you borrow, health will not work for me."

"Of course, this is just to say that I will work with me after health."

Zhang Shunfa actually likes to be petty and cheap. After all, he used to have bad family conditions, and he couldn't be generous even if he wanted to be generous.

Now the only thing he can be generous is Zhang Qianxiu and Huang En's family. He will be generous to these two families. It is Zhang Qianxiu and Huang En who both take care of Zhang Jiankang. He is generous and will definitely not suffer.

Zhang Shunfa nodded: "Okay! I remember, it's okay if you don't pay the money, the main thing is to let your dad quit the bet, even if you have money, you can't stand the tossing of him!"

Zhang Qianxiu said: "This bet must be quit, Uncle Shun Fat, did my dad borrow money from a lot of people in the village?"

"Almost every household has a loan. I don't know how much." Zhang Shunfa said again: "Your dad borrows from me and Uncle Ercai without interest, but borrowing from other people in the village is for interest. , It seems to be quite tall."

Zhang Qianxiu knew that this was definitely not much money. Even if his father had borrowed all the money from the entire village, he would be able to repay it with 100% interest for a year, but he didn't have much money.

But this matter made Zhang Qianxiu very sad.

Zhang Qianxiu and Zhang Shunfa chatted for a while, some of them could not sit still, got up and left.

After Zhang Qianxiu went to Huang En's family again, and asked about his father, only then knew that Huang Ercai had lent Zhang Aibing more than 20,000 yuan, and almost all of the family was lent out.

Zhang Qianxiu was a little unhappy when he heard it, and turned to ask Huang Enquan: "Brother Enquan, why don't you tell me about this?"

Huang Enquan smiled bitterly: "I just learned that not long ago, I went out at 6 o'clock in the morning and came back at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening. My grandfather kept hiding from me."

"About a week ago, I took a day off and heard someone say when I went out."

"I wanted to tell you, but my grandpa said let your dad talk to you personally."

Huang Ercai also said: "I have been persuading your dad these days to make this matter clear to you. Your dad doesn't say a word. I guess he dare not tell you."

"I'm thinking, advise your dad for a few days. If he can tell you on the Dragon Boat Festival, then it will be fine."

"If he doesn't tell you, let Eun Chuan tell you."

In fact, Huang Er is selfish. He is afraid that Huang Enquan will tell Zhang Qianxiu about this, and let Zhang Aibing know that Zhang Aibing will hate their Huang family by then.

Although Huang Ercai is very grateful to Zhang Qianxiu, as long as Zhang Qianxiu needs help, but with such things as interpersonal relationships, you can make trouble if you are not careful.

Especially with Zhang Aibing, even if Huang Enquan says it, Zhang Qianxiu doesn't mind. If Zhang Aibing remembers to hate their family in the future, their family will not be easy to do. It is better to let Zhang Qianxiu find out by himself when he comes back.

As long as Zhang Qianxiu came back, he would definitely not be able to conceal this matter, and there was no need to wait for Huang Enquan to talk about it after the Dragon Boat Festival.
