Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 39 Trouble
There is a row of bungalows next to the canteen, which serve as dormitories for the canteen staff.

On a small open space in front of the bungalow, a dozen or twenty students were squatting on the ground, tinkering with something.

Xu Chen found Li Rui among them.

There was also Zhao Feng, who was with Xie Bingran when they were eating soy milk and fried dough sticks last time.

Xu Chen walked closer quietly and looked inside.

Li Rui, Zhao Feng and others were squatting together, and on the ground in the middle was a pile of crumpled banknotes.

There are notes in the range of five yuan, ten yuan, fifty yuan, one hundred yuan, and even some coins.

The money was piled together randomly and it was impossible to tell how much was left.

Xu Chen looked puzzled, as if these people were "pooling money".

Li Rui turned around in shock and stood up immediately:

"Brother Chen..."

He yelled, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.

The other younger brothers also saw Xu Chen and stood up and called him "Brother Chen".

"What are you doing here?" Xu Chen said.

Li Rui picked up the cigarette butt from the ground, blew it casually, and then put it in his mouth, but hesitantly said:
"Nothing... Let's take a break here after dinner."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly. The bruise on his cheekbone seemed to be bigger than in the morning.

Xu Chen poked his head out:

"What's up with the money on the ground?"

Li Rui turned his head around: "Money? Where is the money?"

At the same time, a group of younger brothers behind him surrounded him and blocked the pile of loose change on the ground.

Xu Chen frowned.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, he said:
"Is it related to Xie Bingran?"

Li Rui paused, but said nothing and took a deep puff of his cigarette.

"What's the matter?" Xu Chen asked coldly.

Li Rui scratched his head, obviously unwilling to speak.

The sturdy Zhao Feng at the side smiled and said:

"Brother Chen, don't worry about this matter, we brothers will find a way."

Xu Chen felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that there really was something wrong.

He looked at Li Rui and Zhao Feng and said coldly:

“Not all problems can be solved by you brothers alone.

If it's a real problem, and you can't solve it and don't tell me, it's just a waste of time."

Li Rui took a puff of his cigarette, and the spark was about to burn to the butt.

Zhao Feng on the side said:

"Brother Chen, I can't tell you this. Brother Bing definitely doesn't want you to know."

Xu Chen said nothing, but looked down at Li Rui.

Li Rui said nothing, but couldn't help but think of the old department store.

Thanks to Xu Chen's presence, I was able to escape unscathed...

He threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, and said:

"Brother Bing owes some money, and it's difficult to deal with the other party... We brothers are trying to find a solution.

Of course, Brother Bing didn’t let us get involved in this matter.

But we can’t just sit back and watch what happened to Brother Bing.”

Zhao Feng on the side rolled his eyes and sighed.

Xu Chen: "How much do you owe?"

Li Rui said, "I owe quite a lot, more than 30,000..."

More than 06 is really a lot for a high school student, especially since it is still .

More than 30,000 yuan is a considerable amount of money for many working-class people at that time.

Xu Chen glanced at the dozen people in front of him. It was obvious that they were all poor children from the countryside like Xie Bingran. How could they possibly collect more than 30,000 yuan?

With the loose change on the ground, it would be good if I could get a thousand.

Xu Chen: "Do you know what happened? Why do you owe so much money?" Li Rui put another cigarette in his mouth and said:
“We only found out about this in the past two days.

Before, Brother Bing’s grandmother fell ill and had no way to get medical treatment, so he went to borrow money.

Now the other party is here to collect the debt.”

After hearing the reason, Xu Chen sighed in his heart.

Naturally, he knew something about Xie Bingran's family situation.

His biological father had been imprisoned for many years, his biological mother had remarried very early, and he lived with his elderly grandmother. All the poor relatives in the family stayed away from him...

When his grandmother fell ill, Xie Bingran, a high school student, really had no other choice but to borrow money.

Although Brother Bing has many brothers, they are just high school students after all, and most of them are poor children from rural towns.

The most important thing is that with Xie Bingran's domineering and stubborn character, he would definitely not ask his brothers for help.

Li Rui lit up his cigarette, took a puff, and added:
"The last time something happened at the department store, it was because Brother Bing wanted to find her father and ask him for money..."

Xu Chen remained silent.

He had wondered before why Xie Bingran wanted to find his biological father.

After all, on the surface, he is a scumbag.

Before he was arrested, he had not returned home for many years and neglected his wife, children and elderly people at home, which led to Xie Bingran's mother remarrying and moving away.

Later, he committed a crime and was imprisoned for several years. After he was released, he disappeared again and did not contact his family.

For such a father, Xie Bingran had no reason to look for him again, but last time in the old department store, he fell into danger in order to find him.

I didn't expect it was for grandma's medical treatment.

It seems that Xie Bingran really had no other way out at the time, so he thought of his father who was released from prison.

Xu Chen felt helpless.

You could clearly use me as a solution... Why can't this stubborn old classmate learn to ask for help?

"Where did you borrow the money from?" Xu Chen asked.

Li Rui: "I was introduced by a friend outside, and Brother Bing knew that friend before.

It’s loan sharking…”

Xu Chen was silent.

Being able to lend 30,000 yuan to a high school girl is definitely not a normal and safe channel.

Li Rui had told most of the story, so he stopped hiding anything else and said:

"They are collecting debts. Yesterday I happened to run into one of their people looking for Brother Bing, and there was a conflict..."

It turns out that this is how Li Rui got the scar on his face.

Xu Chen: "Is Xie Bingran okay?"

Li Rui: "Brother Bing...I'm fine."

"Where is she now?" Xu Chen said.

“Brother Bing said he was going to find a solution…but we don’t know where.

Brother Chen should also understand Brother Bing’s personality.

She never lets anyone interfere with her own troubles..."

Xu Chen frowned.

This stubborn little girl likes to keep silent and swallow her suffering...

"Where is the money lender? Can we contact him?"

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, then said:

"I can get in touch with them. I know where they are. There's one person inside who I know..."

Xu Chen was silent for a while.

But I was thinking about how to solve this problem.

More than 30,000 yuan is not a big deal for him.

There was almost no hesitation in helping Xie Bingran pay off the money.

In addition to the friendship between the two, it also concerns Xie Bingran's future value.

As a future sports star that Xu Chen had bet on in advance, Xie Bingran could not get into trouble.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Chen couldn't just sit back and watch Xie Bingran's affairs.
