C276 The Secret of the Wu Family
Fann Binn looked strangely at Xu Dazhu, whose face was ashen. He had seen this honest and honest looking middle-aged man from the beginning. He knew that Hsu Rann's father was a person who was easy to talk to and not very tough. However, at this moment, such an evaluation was completely overturned.
Those who did not know would not have imagined that Xu Dazhu would be so snobbish and only acknowledge money and not people. Moreover, he would personally sever his daughter's happiness and let her marry a man that he did not like. Was such a person worthy of being a father?
However, from Xu Dazhu's expression and words, Fann Binn felt that he wasn't such a cold-blooded person. Moreover, just by looking at the love in his eyes when he first saw Hsu Rann, just based on his status as a farmer, he insisted on offering his daughter to study. Just by the fact that he could protect Jin Mei'e, who had left the Northern Region, from being sent back to the country, it was obvious that he wasn't cold-blooded. Furthermore, he was a man who doted on his daughter and wife.
And why would such a simple farmer want his daughter to marry the mayor's son just for money? Could it be that there was a reason behind this?
"Xu Dazhu! This is your daughter, not an animal! It's not something you want to sell just because you want to!" Jin Mei'e finally couldn't hold it in any longer and retorted angrily, "You did something wrong, you owe someone money. Do you want to pay off your debt by selling your daughter?! "
When Jin Mei'e said this, she immediately detonated a bomb, causing everyone to freeze on the spot.
"Shut up! Didn't... Didn't you promise not to say anything? Why are you going back on your word now?" Hearing Jin Mei'e's words, Xu Dazhu clearly revealed a panicked expression. He grumbled angrily, "You bitch, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told you about this. What the f * ck! "
"Father... Mother... What, what is going on? Dad, you, who do you owe money to?" Hsu Rann was clearly still confused and did not know what was going on.
Jin Mei'e wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed, "Dazhu, you want to push your daughter into the fire pit. Fine, I will also let her know the entire process. She has the right to know about this."
Xu Dazhu frowned and took a deep drag of his cigarette. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Fine, fine. If you want to say it, then say it. I want to see if my daughter was born for nothing."
Seeing that Xu Dazhu did not disagree, Jin Mei'e pulled Hsu Rann's hand and sat down. She sighed deeply and said, "Niuniu, your father actually... actually also suffered..."
"Mother, what is going on? Hurry up and tell me..." No matter how stupid Hsu Rann was, she must have reacted at this moment. Her father forced her to go back to her hometown. Clearly, there was an inside story!
"Two years ago, didn't your father set up a fish pond? He started a fish farming business and wanted to earn more money for you to study?" Jin Mei'e's eyes were red as she said bitterly, "Originally, your father and I were thinking of waiting for two or three years before we sold the finished fish seedlings in the fish pond, so that we could make money for our boss to marry a wife. Second, we could also leave some for you so that you wouldn't be able to find a job after you finish your university studies. It wouldn't be as if we didn't have enough money to spend. "
"Your dad and I actually both understand that living in the city... Every single one of those costs money, depending on the few acres of our land. I can't afford you. So at that time, your father gritted his teeth and borrowed more than eighty thousand yuan from the mayor to contract the fish pond. But... but the prerequisite is that you have to be his son's wife..."
" What!? Our fish pond... was actually done by borrowing money from the mayor? No wonder, I asked dad where he got so much money back then. Dad also said that he borrowed money from relatives!" Hsu Rann covered her small mouth in surprise and almost cried out in shock.
"Hmph, relatives. Our relatives are all poorer than the other. Each one of them is more miserly than the last. Who in our village can take out 80,000 yuan?" Xu Dazhu extinguished the cigarette butt in the urn and said coldly, "It's also at that time that the mayor's son took a fancy to you, and the mayor also liked your obedience. That's why he borrowed our money. "
Jin Mei'e glanced at Xu Dazhu and helplessly continued. " Your father and I were thinking that if this fish pond continues to develop... Not only would eighty thousand yuan be repaid in two to three years, but it would also be theirs to earn in the future. In addition, you were still studying at university at that time, so there was no way for you to return to your hometown and get married. As long as this matter could be delayed for two years, when your father returns the money to the mayor... Your marriage is still up to you. The mayor can't use this matter to pressure us."
"But who would have thought that after two years, our fish pond will develop better and better? The mayor's money has already fallen by ten thousand, but the Fishery Administration Department suddenly sent out a notice. They said that we don't have a breeding license, and that it's illegal breeding, and that we have to confiscate all of our property... "
When Fann Binn heard this, he finally resolved the knot in his heart. He suddenly felt enlightened. No wonder Xu Dazhu wanted to think of ways to bring Hsu Rann back to her hometown, but as long as Hsu Rann could find a rich man in Jiangde, that was also the reason.
Thinking about it, Xu Dazhu's plan was actually very good. As the fish pond was illegally banned, the seventy thousand yuan that he owed the mayor became a debt. Furthermore, he was no longer able to repay it, so he could only let his daughter go home.
As long as his daughter returned home and married the mayor's son... In any case, they had become in-laws, so it was naturally easy to discuss the matter of the money. If it was really as his daughter said, finding a rich boyfriend in Jiangde, then seventy thousand dollars was naturally a small amount of money. It was a matter of a flick of a finger.
So when his relationship with Hsu Rann was exposed by Li Ziyang, his identity as a junior employee was exposed. That was why Xu Dazhu was so angry. He was angry that Hsu Rann almost lied to him and made him agree that Hsu Rann and Fann Binn were together. But he was unable to repay the loan of 70,000 yuan that was about to expire.
What kind of person was the mayor? When he found out that Xu Dazhu could not even pay seventy thousand yuan back, he had even promised his daughter to someone else, so naturally, he would fly into a rage out of humiliation. He was afraid that if he wanted to deal with a mere farmer like Xu Dazhu, there would be thousands of ways to deal with him, right?
Fann Binn understood the pros and cons of this just by thinking about it. Speaking of which, the matter of Xu Dazhu borrowing his eldest son's wife for a 20,000 Yuan salary was actually to test whether Fann Binn was rich or not. If Li Ziyang had not exposed all of this, he was afraid that... After lunch, Xu Dazhu wanted to tell Hsu Rann and him about this and ask Fann Binn to continue to ask for 70,000 Yuan to pay the bill.
When Hsu Rann heard her mother say this, she clearly understood the reason. In fact, the choice was very simple, or it was to pay back the mayor's seventy thousand yuan. It seemed that there were only these two answers in front of her.
However, even if Hsu Rann wanted to repay the seventy thousand yuan debt on her father's behalf, however, she simply did not have the strength to do so. First of all, she had only worked for two months. Moreover, even if she did not eat or drink now, she would need at least ten months to collect the seventy thousand yuan. What made her even more helpless was that she didn't have any friends in Jiangde. In the past, her classmates in university were cold and afraid of inferiority because of her beauty, which caused her to be a loner.
Seventy thousand yuan, in addition to her elder brother's salary of marrying a wife, was twenty thousand yuan. In total, it was ninety thousand yuan! A total of ninety thousand yuan, with Hsu Rann's current financial strength, she simply could not take it out. Furthermore, after knowing her father's difficulties, Hsu Rann even lost her only courage to resist in the end. Her entire body trembled lightly in fear. That pitiful appearance undoubtedly made one's heart ache.
"Niuniu... It is not good to be a father, but there is nothing a father can do about it. It's also for the sake of this family!" Xu Dazhu said with a sad face, "Your mother's identity can't be revealed to the public, so you can't go to town to work. The salary of the eldest and second eldest brothers, plus the few acres of land that their family planted... Not to mention the seventy thousand yuan, it's twenty thousand yuan. I don't eat or drink for a year. I'm afraid I won't be able to earn it... Other than feeling wronged, I, I really have no other choice! It's Dad who has let you down, it's Dad who is useless!"
When Xu Dazhu said this, he actually burst into tears. His entire body suddenly fell to the ground like this!" Niuniu, I beg of you, save this family... Only if you come back with me, the crisis at home will pass... Otherwise, with the power of the mayor, he won't return the money that he owes. Then you'll have to go to jail! "
"Dad..." Seeing her father kneeling in front of her, Hsu Rann immediately knelt down as well. She cried out in pain and despair, "I will go back with you, I... I will go back with you!"
Seeing that Hsu Rann was finally willing to open her mouth and choose to go home, Xu Dazhu was not happy. On the contrary, he clearly aged a lot and said weakly, "Niuniu, this life is what I owe you... In the next life, I will do whatever I can to return this favor to you..."
"Don't say that... You only borrow money from the mayor because of this family's good. I accept my fate, I accept my fate... " Hsu Rann said that she accepted her fate, but she still cried in a mess. She was extremely sad. That helpless and sorrowful expression, anyone who saw it would not be able to help but feel heartbroken.
Fann Binn's heart was extremely conflicted. He really wanted to help Hsu Rann. With his ability, not to mention seventy thousand, even seven million was a piece of cake. But once he helped Hsu Rann, he had to expose his true identity in front of Hsu Rann. This way, it would completely go against his plan of hiding in the Wu's Group. In order to save an ordinary friend whom he had not known for a long time, he would rather expose himself and give up the chance to learn in the Wu's Group. Was it worth it?
Xu Wei's fist violently smashed onto the table. As the elder brother, he could not help at all. He must have felt incomparably aggrieved and cowardly in his heart. On the other hand, Xu Lan held his head with both hands. He didn't dare to see his father and Hsu Rann kneeling on the ground in a miserable manner. Even Jin Zhong Guo, who was sitting by the side, had tears streaming down his face. He gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
A mere seventy thousand dollars was enough to change the happy life of a beautiful girl who had a beautiful future. Was this really fair? But what could he do if it was unfair? After all, reality was reality. What he had to face, he had to face it! Perhaps 70,000 yuan was just a snap of the fingers for the rich, but for farmers like Xu Dazhu, it was a huge pressure as heavy as Mount Tai!
Compared to a girl with a bright future, Fann Binn really did not know if his little secret was more important. When he saw Hsu Rann's crying face, for the first time, he had a soft feeling.
