Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Although he didn't know why Zhao Yuanchao was so generous and offered to lend money to their family, Zhao Wenhao was still very grateful and thanked him at this time when they were in urgent need.

There are some things you don't need to say too much, just keep them in mind. You will always find a chance to repay them in the future.

After the story was told, Zhao Wenhao didn't want to stay any longer, so he took Wei Chunlan and left Zhao Jianmin's house.

"Wenhao, I'm going to your second uncle's house to borrow money, so you don't have to go."

As soon as they walked out of the yard, Wei Chunlan grabbed Zhao Wenhao's arm and spoke proactively.

Well, of course Zhao Wenhao knew what his mother meant. Zhao Aiguo had offended him badly before, and now that he came to borrow money, he must be humble and submissive.

Wei Chunlan didn't want her son to go with her, so she suggested that she go find Zhao Aimin.

In fact, Zhao Aimin would not say anything. The main problem was his sister-in-law Zhou Li, who would definitely say some sarcastic nonsense.

"I'd better go with you."

Zhao Wenhao didn't want Wei Chunlan to suffer alone, so he wanted to go along.

Unfortunately, Wei Chunlan was very stubborn this time and did not agree. She asked Zhao Wenhao to go home and keep an eye on things to prevent Zhao Aiguo from causing any more trouble.

In fact, Zhao Wenhao was also worried about his family, not just Zhao Aiguo, but also Zhao Wenjing.

In the final analysis, this matter was Zhao Wenjing's business. He was worried that his elder sister would have wild thoughts at home and cause more trouble.

So Wei Chunlan went to Zhao Aimin's house, while Zhao Wenhao returned to his own home.

"Wenhao, how is it? What do they say over there?"

As soon as he entered the yard, Zhao Wenjing ran out of the house. He was obviously worried and was waiting for news.

Zhao Wenhao could understand Zhao Wenjing's feelings at the moment. How could a normal person really be willing to marry such a fiancé?

"Don't worry, sir. We've already agreed that we'll cancel the engagement tomorrow." Zhao Wenhao quickly informed her of the result.

"Really?" Zhao Wenjing was ecstatic, yet also felt a sense of disbelief. "What about the betrothal money? I just got my salary this month, and with the savings I had before, I only have a little over 80 yuan."

Zhao Wenhao didn't want her to worry, so he said directly, "Don't worry about the money. I've already figured out a solution. Okay, let's do this for now. I haven't had dinner yet, and I'm hungry."

Zhao Wenhao quickly changed the subject and walked into the house.

At this time, Zhao Aiguo was sitting in the lobby, smoking a cigarette. When he saw Zhao Wenhao come in, he wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he just kept silent.

Zhao Wenhao naturally didn't want to pay attention to him. He just filled a bowl of corn porridge and picked up two pieces of salted radish.

"There's some chicken over there. Ask your sister to bring it over."

Probably to ease the atmosphere, Zhao Aiguo took the initiative to talk to Zhao Wenhao.

In fact, Zhao Wenjing had already gone to the kitchen and brought the chicken over without him saying anything. He had originally wanted to wait for Wei Chunlan, but when Zhao Wenhao waved his hand, he guessed that there were other things going on over there, so he just begged Zhao Wenxia to come to the table and eat.

Zhao Aiguo originally wanted to ask where his wife had been, but when he saw Zhao Wenhao's expression, he just shut up.

It was a rare occasion when there was chicken on the table, but everyone in the family had their own thoughts, so naturally, the meal was tasteless. Even the youngest, Zhao Wenxia, ​​could only gnaw on the chicken leg in silence when she saw her older siblings acting like this.

More than an hour later, just as Zhao Wenhao was about to go look for her, Wei Chunlan finally came back.

"Mom, what's going on? Why are you so late?" Zhao Wenhao asked with some concern.

Wei Chunlan forced a smile. "Your second uncle's family didn't have much money either, so I went to a few other families and borrowed some. I managed to scrape together 935 yuan. I still have a few dozen yuan on me, so that makes 3500 yuan, which should be enough."

Zhao Wenhao could imagine how many houses Wei Chunlan had visited in the past hour or so, and how she must have been met with all kinds of cold stares. He secretly vowed to make sure Wei Chunlan lived a good life in the future.

As for Zhao Aiguo, let’s talk about it later.

"Wenhao, keep the money." Wei Chunlan looked at Zhao Aiguo with some concern, opened the handkerchief, and found some small change inside, even some coins that she had hidden away.

Only then did Zhao Wenjing realize that her mother had actually gone to various families to borrow money for her.

"I still have some here, you can take it with you." Zhao Wenjing quickly took out the private money in his pocket and handed it to Zhao Wenhao.

This way, Zhao Wenhao had nearly 1100 yuan in his hands. If he added the 2500 yuan that Zhao Yuanchao and Zhao Jianmin were willing to lend, he would have a total of 3600 yuan, which should be enough to deal with the difficulties faced by the Ma family.

Zhao Wenhao now wanted to settle this matter as quickly as possible, even if it meant paying a little more money. As long as he could draw a clear line with the Ma family, this little money wouldn't be a big deal, and he would always have the chance to earn it back later.

As for those favors, they will have to be repaid in the future.

As for what method to use, Zhao Wenhao has not figured it out yet. After all, it is only the first day he has come to this world, and he has not figured out many aspects yet when he encountered Ma Hongzhi.

Seeing the three of them discussing something over there but not talking to him, Zhao Aiguo was so angry that he wanted to lose his temper again.

But after seeing Zhao Wenhao's cold eyes, she didn't dare to do it. She just walked out of the house alone, and no one knew where she went to fool around.

"Wenhao, he is your father after all." Wei Chunlan felt a little reluctant.

Zhao Wenhao didn't care. He wrapped all the money in newspaper and put it in his pocket.

"Mom, we have to teach him a lesson, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble he'll cause in the future. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he's the parent, but I won't allow that."

Especially in the future, if he dares to hit you again, tell me that I will make him pay. Also, don't give him any money from home in the future. Such a grown man, hanging around in the village all day, doesn't he know to go out and find a small job to supplement the family income? "

At this time, Zhao Wenhao could sincerely call Wei Chunlan "Mom", but he could never open his mouth to call Zhao Aiguo "Dad".

Seeing her son's attitude, Wei Chunlan originally wanted to persuade him, but when she thought of what Zhao Aiguo had done, she finally sighed and said nothing.

"Wenhao, there's only 1100 yuan here. What's going on with the 3600 yuan and the 2500 yuan you mentioned?"

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhao Wenjing finally asked the question that she had been holding back for a long time.

Zhao Wenhao did not hide anything and told her about the help provided by Zhao Yuanchao and Zhao Jianmin.

In fact, Zhao Wenhao has always felt strange about this matter. His family did not have much contact with Zhao Yuanchao's family, and today Zhao Yuanchao actually took out so much money to help at once, which was really unexpected.

But he couldn't chase the other person and ask why he was willing to help, so he could only wait and try to repay him in the future.
