Chapter 55 Luxurious Friends

Fengxiang Property Company pays wages on the 12th.

On the day when wages were paid, Yan Xin received his wages and then went to the post office to remit the money.

At his suggestion, his father had already opened an account at the local postal savings office. This time, he could just transfer money directly to the account. There was no need to send a remittance slip.

This month his salary exceeded one thousand yuan. That was because he worked during the three days of National Day, and each of those three days was counted as three days' salary, so he earned more than two hundred yuan more than normal.

Therefore, this time he sent an extra two hundred yuan, making a total of seven hundred yuan.

At noon, he called his father again and told him to send 700 yuan back.

His dad was stunned: "Why is it two hundred more than last month? Where did you get so much money?"

Yan Xin explained: "Wasn't it National Day last month? I didn't take any rest during the three-day holiday, and those three days and one day were counted as three times the salary, so I got more than two hundred yuan, so I sent an extra two hundred yuan, and I will send another two hundred yuan next month."

Only five hundred left."

This explanation reassured his father, but he still said that there was no need to send so much money back in the future.

Yan Xin also asked his father what he had done with the money he sent back last month, and the answer he got was that he had deposited it for him for a year.

"Actually, you can use this money to pay off the debt first..." Yan Xin said weakly.

If the family borrows money from others, they have to pay two cents of interest, which is two cents a month for a hundred yuan.

This is still a relatively low interest rate.

If it's a little higher, there are three and five points.

If you save it for one year, the interest will be higher than one month's interest, so it's better to pay off the debt first.

His dad said helplessly: "I also want to pay it back earlier, but they all said it's not due yet, so don't pay it back yet, so I can only save it."

"What?" Yan Xin was shocked, "Now you have to pay it back when it's due? Didn't you come to your house to collect debts every time it was due?"

In my hometown, the repayment date stipulated in the debt contract is usually half a year or one year. Unless it is an urgent turnover, it will be written one month after two months, but the interest will be correspondingly higher.

The main cash crop there is cotton, so the agreed repayment date is generally related to the time when the cotton is sold.

There is an agreed date on the IOU, but there are many people who come to collect debts before the repayment date. There are always various reasons.

In Yan Xin's memory, whenever something was sold at home, someone would come to collect debts that night.

As for saying that the agreed date hasn't come yet, it's all from the folks in the village, so it's not easy to say so rigidly.

Therefore, in Yan Xin's view, the agreed debt repayment date can be completely ignored.

His father explained to him: "In the past, people thought that our family was poor and had no ability to repay debts, so when they heard that something had been sold for money, they hurried over to collect it, fearing that it would be taken away by others if it was too late. Now. Now

You have gone out to work and there are no other burdens on your family, so they think our family has the ability to repay the debt, so they want to collect a few more months of interest."

Yan Xin understood.

It will still take a month or two before the agreed repayment date is reached. If they can charge more interest, they will charge more.

The total amount of foreign debt is only a few thousand yuan, and it will not be much more if we charge more, not to mention that it was originally agreed upon.

I didn’t say this anymore.

His father also told him that this year's late rice harvest was okay, and he couldn't eat much food at home alone. He kept a few hundred kilograms and sold the rest.

By selling the cotton, you can pay off all the foreign debts and still have more than a thousand yuan left for next year's cost of pesticides, seeds, and fertilizers.

All the money Yan Xin sent back will be saved for him to prepare for building a house in the year after next.

While talking on the phone, Yan Xin could feel his father's excitement and longing for future life.

This is understandable.

Life was okay originally. When he was ten years old, his family even planned to build a new house in a year or two.

But when his mother got sick, life became bad. She spent all her savings and started borrowing money.

In the end, he couldn't keep his mother, and he still owed a lot of debt.

When I sent my mother to the mountains, I would owe ten or twenty thousand yuan in debt.

In the next few years, his father alone had to support his studies and pay off his debts, which resulted in a lot of interest every year.

Not only do I do some work in my own land, I also work for others when I have time. I earn fifteen yuan a day and twenty yuan a day. I live frugally and save money little by little.

After struggling like this year after year, he was able to finish high school, and the debt was only a few thousand dollars, but the man in his forties became like an old man in his fifties and sixties.

Yan Xin had no way of knowing how much hardship he had endured. He only knew that the hardships his father had endured in the past few years were worse than all the hardships he had endured in his previous life combined.

The physical pain is like this, and the mental pain is like this, and I don’t even know what it is like.

He didn't dare to imagine it - he would feel sad just thinking about it.

Because a lot of the suffering there comes from his rebellion and his ignorance.

After struggling in despair for such a long time, I finally see a glimmer of hope. I can pay off all my debts, throw away my burdens, and start a new life. You can imagine my excitement.

After calling his father for a few minutes, Yan Xin was stunned for a while.

In his previous life, he felt guilty that he owed his father too much but was unable to repay him. He once knelt in front of the grave and said that if he had a next life, he would repay his father well.

I didn't expect that I would actually have a next life and live again.

In this life, I cannot let my father suffer like he did in his previous life.

It is not convenient to tell his father about his situation now. The money in his hands also has other uses. In order to have a better future, he has to hide it from his father in the past two years.

But it’s only been the past two years.

Moreover, even these two years have definitely been much better for his father than the two years in his previous life.

In his previous life, during the years when he went out to work, he never sent a penny home. He was still a carefree person.

Now the point of sending a few hundred yuan back a month is not the few hundred yuan, but to make his father feel at ease and see a better future.

That afternoon, when he was at work, Ellie came over and asked him: "How much money are you going to send home this month?"

"I have sent 700 yuan back." Yan Xin said honestly.

Ellie was surprised: "Why send so many?"

Yan Xin said: "I received an extra two hundred yuan in salary last month, so why don't I send an extra two hundred yuan back?"

"This kid is so sensible!" Ellie thought to herself.

Yan Xin looks more and more pleasing to the eye.

Then he said: "But it's almost winter now. Don't you want to save some money to prepare winter clothes?"

"I brought a few sweaters over." Yan Xin said.

Then he jokingly said: "And after such a long time after get off work, I can do something else, such as picking up plastic bottles or something. If I work harder, I can earn several yuan a day. How can I earn it in a month?" Buy a thicker dress."

"Ah?" Ellie looked at him in surprise, "You're not really going to do this, are you?"

"Fake, just kidding." Yan Xin laughed.

Ellie looked at him and couldn't tell for a moment whether he was joking or telling the truth.

The next night, Yan Xin was holding a pen and jotting down his thoughts on the book "Fights Break the Sphere" in a notebook when he heard someone tapping the window. When he looked up, he saw that it was Ai Lili.

He quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Lily, are you checking the post?"

Ai Lili held a bulging bag in her hand and handed it over from the window, saying: "I'm either checking the post, or I'm going to a friend's house today. My friend is cleaning out the closet and has a few men's clothes to throw away. I see

It's quite good, but it's a shame to lose it, so I brought it over to see if you can wear it, and if you can, I'll give it to you."

Yan Xin knew the kindness of this beautiful boss and was moved. He took out the clothes inside. There were five clothes in total, two woolen sweaters, two long johns, and a coat.

I opened a piece of clothing and was about to try it on. When I saw the tag on the clothing, I couldn't help but laugh:

"Sister Lily, you haven't even taken off the tag. It's obviously clothes you haven't worn even once. You have to throw them away. That friend of yours is too extravagant."

Ai Lili's face turned red and she couldn't help but said, "Yes, it's too extravagant and outrageous! So I didn't let him throw it away!"
