Chapter 127
127 Chapter 126. , I’ve Decided Not To Lend
The man was stunned for a moment and nodded, “Yes!”
“How about this, Big Brother? I don’t want this money. Can I ask you a question?” Li Xu asked anxiously.
The man didn’t lack money, but when he saw Li Xu’s expression, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing, “Okay, Big Sister, what do you want to ask?”
“I just want to ask, if the father of the child owes the bank money and can’t pay it back, will he go to jail? If he goes to jail, will it affect the child?”
The man was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Li Xu to ask such a question.
“The bank will give a certain amount of time to pay back the money. If it is determined that it can’t be paid back, the bank will sue the individual. The final result will definitely be imprisonment. As for the impact on the child, there will definitely be some.”
The man deliberated and said, “But whether the impact is big or not, it depends on the individual. In the future, the child can’t choose to join the army, take the civil service exam, career, etc. They won’t be able to pass the political examination. But if they don’t choose these industries, I think the impact on the child will not be big. The average unit will not investigate the child’s family background.”
After saying that, the man hesitated for a moment, but he could not help but advise her, “Big Sister, if the amount your husband owes is within his ability to repay the debt, I advise you to pay it back.”
The corners of Li Xu’s lips twitched, “It’s my ex-husband!”
When the man heard that, the expression on his face was a little awkward. After thinking for a moment, he still took out 60 cents and placed it on the table.
Before Li Xu could react, he left.
Li Xu quickly took the money and wanted to chase after him. However, a customer came in at this time.
In the blink of an eye, the man had disappeared.
Li Xu could only take the money back to the shop and start to greet the customers.
After sending off the customers, Li Xu hesitated for a moment but still made a call to Zhang Kun.
It was during office hours, so Li Xu didn’t want to tell him too much. She just said, “Come over tonight, I have something to discuss with you.”
Zhang Kun immediately noticed that something was wrong with Li Xu.
Her tone was too low.
“What is it? Do you need me to go over now?” Zhang Kun asked with concern.
“It’s not a big deal, you can come over after work,” Li Xu said. Seeing that it had already been a minute, she hurriedly said, “Alright, I won’t speak with you anymore. Don’t forget about it.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
The time was precisely set at 59 seconds.
Li Xu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
If she hesitated for another second, she would have to spend an extra cent!
Since Li Xu had already spoken, how could Zhang Kun not listen?
At around six o’clock in the evening, after the last person left the canteen, Zhang Kun hurriedly closed the door. He boarded his bicycle and rushed over to Li Xu’s side.
On the way, he didn’t forget to run to the store to buy a few boxes of biscuits and sweets to bring to the children.
Zhang Kun knew that at this time, Li Xu would definitely be in the store. So when he went over, he went straight to the store.
There were still a few people in the store. Li Xu stood lazily at the door, her eyes staring at the shelves.
Today, she was wearing a red sweater and a pair of black pants.
Her hair was loosely tied up into a bun at the back of her head. The two ends of her hair fell down, making her look lazy and beautiful.
Zhang Kun was momentarily stunned!
Soon, the customer had finished choosing the vegetables. Li Xu came back to her senses and quickly stood up. She quickly weighed the dishes, calculated the bill, collected the money, and gave the change to the customer.
After sending the customer off, Li Xu finally saw Zhang Kun outside.
The smile on her face became even brighter, “Why didn’t you come in?”
Zhang Kun carried the bag in his hand and entered the door, “I saw that you were busy, so I just waited for a while.”
Li Xu looked at the snacks in the bag and complained, “Why did you buy so many snacks for them again? They don’t lack food.”
“What did you put on?” Zhang Kun stood beside Li Xu and suddenly asked.
Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then she raised her head and said, “Huh?”
“Why does your body smell so good?” Zhang Kun blurted out.
After saying that, Zhang Kun’s face turned red.
“I didn’t…” Only then did he realize that what he said just now might seem a little… perverted.
“I didn’t put anything on. It might be the soap I used when I took a bath,” Li Xu mumbled.
The two of them, whose age added up to sixty, looked especially innocent at this moment.
In the end, it was Zhang Kun who broke the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, “What did you want to talk to me about?”
Li Xu finally remembered the important matter. She sat down on the stool and said in a low voice, “Ji Jianguo came to look for me yesterday.”
Hearing the name Ji Jianguo, Zhang Kun immediately became vigilant, “Why did he come to look for you?”
Could it be that he wanted to get back together?
Zhang Kun had long known that Ji Jianguo had gone bankrupt, divorced, and returned to his hometown in a sorry state.
“He came to borrow money from me!”
When he heard this, Zhang Kun heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was only borrowing money and did not want to get back together!
No, even borrowing money was out of the question!
“To be precise, he did not come to borrow money. He forced me to sell my house to repay his debt!” Li Xu Sighed and recounted the incident from last night.
Zhang Kun silently listened to Li Xu’s words and did not express his opinion easily. If it was purely to borrow money, then he could give Li Xu advice, no!
However, this matter was related to the future of the children, so he did not dare to give Li Xu advice.
If it really affected the future of the children, then when Li Xu remembered it, she would definitely blame him.
He wanted to stay with Li Xu until their hair turned white, so he definitely could not give Li Xu any advice on this matter.
Unexpectedly, Li Xu said, “I was a little hesitant at first, but the children kept advising me last night. I’ve been thinking about it all day today.”
She took a deep breath and said, “I’ve decided not to lend it!”
Zhang Kun looked at Li Xu in surprise, “Have you really thought it through?”
Li Xu nodded, “I’ve really thought it through. In the future, as long as the children don’t take that road, everything will be fine. All roads lead to Rome, don’t you think so?”
She turned her head and smiled at Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun was immediately stunned by what he saw.
Li Xu was really too good-looking, so beautiful that it was tempting.
The two of them worked together until eight o’clock before they packed up the shelves and planned to leave.
The light switch was inside. Li Xu turned off the light and needed to go through the shelves before she could leave.
After the light was turned off, the entire store instantly fell into darkness.
Li Xu raised her hand and groped her way out.
However, when she turned around, her hand touched something hot, Zhang Kun’s chest.
Her hand could even feel Zhang Kun’s heartbeat.
Thump thump thump thump thump…
In the silent night, it was exceptionally clear.
She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but in the next moment, a pair of large hands tightly wrapped around her hand.
“Ah Xu!” In the darkness, she heard Zhang Kun calling out to her.
His voice was different from usual, hoarse and low.
Suddenly, Li Xu’s heart also started thumping violently.
