Chapter 137: Creditors Come Knocking (Part 1/2)

The next day,

On Saturday,

Zhao Qingfeng got up before five, washed his face, and sat on the edge of his bed, pondering over the events of the last few days.

The last week before the university entrance examination was destined not to be peaceful.

His aunts had prepared for a full-scale attack, determined to destroy all of Zhao Qingfeng’s confidence before the exam, ensuring his failure.

For Zhao Qingfeng, this was like the last darkness before dawn.

He would be braver before the break of dawn.

After tidying up and having breakfast, people started knocking on the door one after another after six o’clock.

The first to arrive was Shen Lingyao.

Even now, she couldn’t believe the story about repaying the debt that Brother Qingfeng had told, so she wanted to see for herself.

Following her was Feng Biao.

His mother had called him the night before, and he came with the trio of Huang Hao to prevent his mother from being bullied.

By seven o’clock, Liu Li knocked on the door.

After entering and sitting down, Liu Li directly placed a newspaper package containing two hundred thousand on the table.

The two hundred thousand struck like thunder,

Shocking Feng Biao and Huang Hao.

Although Qingfeng’s mother had already heard the news, it was still the first time in her life she had seen so much money.

Shen Lingyao was the most surprised.

With her mouth slightly open and eyebrows slightly furrowed, she looked at Zhao Qingfeng seriously, “Brother Qingfeng, didn’t you say fifty thousand? How did it become two hundred thousand?”

Zhao Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, “My family is so poor, how can I get married in the future if I don’t earn more money? Here, fifty thousand for you, thirty thousand is for the sweater I owe you, and twenty thousand is for Aunt Ding. Please take it back to her.”

Shen Lingyao didn’t move for a long time.

She really wanted to ask Zhao Qingfeng for details.

Liu Li was about to answer.

Zhao Qingfeng preemptively explained, “Yaoyao, the reason I made so much this time is actually just good luck, similar to winning a lottery. Listen, take this to Aunt Ding first, then come find me later, I need you to accompany me to Old Yan’s house in the afternoon.”

Shen Lingyao was forcibly sent back home by Zhao Qingfeng, delivering the fifty thousand yuan to Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang was thoroughly startled.

Covering her chest, furrowing her brows, she sat on the sofa gasping for breath, taking a long time to recover before joyfully saying, “Yaoyao, this isn’t a dream, right? I never thought Little Feng could earn so much money by fixing computers and selling clothes! That’s great, that’s great! When your dad comes back, I’ll make him take a good look, and see if he dares to disagree with you two being together!”

“Mom, what are you talking about, where’s dad?”

“He just left not long ago, hurriedly went to the provincial city, he won’t be back until Monday morning. Let’s not bother about him, let him be busy. But you should remind Little Feng not to get carried away with the money, to be wary of the dangers in society.”

Shen Kuo had left just half an hour ago, Liu Li arrived right after he left, missing each other perfectly.

Ding Xiang was relieved but also a bit worried.

She was concerned that Zhao Qingfeng, now with money, might become arrogant and possibly give up on going to university.

Shen Lingyao was anxious too.

After giving the money to Ding Xiang, she ran back to Qingfeng’s house, secretly pulled Liu Li aside, and quietly asked, “Auntie, what is Brother Qingfeng actually busy with in the provincial city, are you his boss?”

Liu Li, knowing Zhao Qingfeng didn’t want Shen Lingyao to know too soon, nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, Shen Lingyao quickly grabbed Liu Li’s arm, earnestly pleading, “Auntie, please, he’s about to take his university entrance exam, can you not keep him too busy?”

Liu Li was touched by her adorable earnestness.

She envied this beautiful girl who had a successful boy by her side, thinking what a happy life she must have.

She quickly nodded, touching Shen Lingyao’s cheek, “Don’t worry, I know he has his exams, and it’s also his father’s last wish. The company won’t delay his matters.”

Shen Lingyao was then reassured.

Just as she was about to find Zhao Qingfeng to talk more, a noisy commotion approached from downstairs.

She hurried to the window to look.

At that moment,

The three aunts, led by Zhao Ming and Zhang Ping, arrived with more than a dozen people with complex expressions, making a fuss and shouting arrogantly as they entered the community.

“Who are they?”

Shen Lingyao was startled and quickly asked Zhao Qingfeng.

“Creditors.”

Zhao Qingfeng also stood at the window. He recognized some of them as his father’s old friends, but not all.
