Chapter 13: Returning from the Debt Collection
Cui Changle, who was studying, ran out quickly, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Cui Changle is already in her third year of high school. Previously, she had to take leave most of the time because of family matters. Starting today, she finally went to school as usual, but she still applied to come back for evening self-study and study at home.

"Your sister and your second brother are on their way back. Let's stew the chicken that your second uncle sent today."

"Okay, stew?"

"Row."

"Got it." Cui Changle responded and ran to the kitchen to stew chicken. After walking two steps, she turned back and said, "Brother, you can't work anymore. It's not good for your legs to recover. Go and have a rest."

Cui Xiuyuan spent almost the entire day today sorting out the things they moved back yesterday. He also made a lot of phone calls and did not take a break at all.

Cui Xiuyuan's mood has calmed down a lot, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Cui Changle playfully gave him a "yeah" gesture and turned to run to the kitchen. She had also heard that her sister and second brother would bring back a lot of money today. No wonder her sister said yesterday... Thinking of what Cui Changjia said and did in the past two days, Cui Changle was stunned, then shook her head. It was a good thing that her sister had become more powerful.

It was already past ten o'clock when Cui Changjia and his companions arrived at the provincial capital. The car was parked on the roadside near the warehouse. They could not unload the car tonight, so the furniture had to be kept on the car.

Cui Chengze was very worried, and whispered in Cui Changjia's ear, "Sister, I'm not leaving tonight. I'll just stay in the car for one night. Come over early tomorrow."

Cui Changjia was very pleased. She didn't expect that the young boy had grown up, but his mind was in the wrong place. She patted his shoulder and curled her lips at him, signaling him not to worry. Cui Chengze was just a big fool. In fact, he was not as strong as the ordinary laborers who worked regularly. If others really wanted to do something, this weak chicken would not be seen by others.

Cui Changjia said to Tao Lei, "Brother Lei, I'm sorry to bother you tonight. We will go back first and come early tomorrow."

Tao Lei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, go back. It's hard to get a taxi here. You two have to go to the main road over there to get a taxi."

"Thank you, Brother Lei."

Tao Lei is a really nice person. He even reminded Cui Changjia, "Remember to bring a few loaders in the morning."

"Hey, thanks for the reminder."

Cui Changjia dragged Cui Chengze away. Cui Chengze was very worried, "Sister, is it okay? I hope it won't get lost."

This batch of furniture was already paid for at a loss. If they were to lose more money, wouldn't they be even more miserable?

The side road was dark, with only one street lamp at the intersection. Cui Changjia raised his head and walked towards the bright light step by step. "The most taboo thing in the transportation business is losing the goods. Don't worry, the goods will not be lost."

"Can……"

"That Fatty Tao is a retired soldier, so his character won't be bad, don't worry, are you tired?"

How can I not be tired?

Cui Chengze quietly clenched his worn palms, licked his dry mouth, and raised his voice, "Not tired!"

In the silent night, a cold wind blew. Cui Changjia pulled his hands into the sleeves of his fleece jacket and felt much warmer. It will be fine, it will definitely be fine!

The nightlife in the early 2000s was not very rich, especially in old neighborhoods. After 10 o'clock in the evening, the entire neighborhood was silent, with only one or two street lamps on the corners emitting a dim yellow light.

After an autumn rain, the temperature dropped a few degrees at night. The door handle was icy when held by the hand. When the door was opened, the warm yellow light poured in, and the warmth hit my face, which also diluted the coldness brought from outside. On the dining table at the entrance, there was a ceramic pot, and the lid on it was emitting hot steam, and the aroma of chicken soup was wafting out from it... Cui Changjia's memory suddenly revived, as if the days were still the same as before, carefree, and he didn't have to think about anything.

"Sister, second brother, you're back!" Cui Changle, wearing an apron and holding a soup spoon, leaned sideways and poked her head out of the kitchen. Her joyful voice came over, "The chicken soup is ready. It smells so good. It's just right for drinking."

Cui Changjia was surprised, "Lele, why are you at home?"

"I asked my teacher not to attend the evening self-study class." Cui Changle's expression brightened up a lot. She also knew that her sister was going to collect the money today. "Hurry up and sit down. I'll go get some rice."

That’s great. I finally don’t have to worry about my father’s medical expenses.

At this time, Cui Xiuyuan also came limping over from the sun room, leaning on a crutch.

"Brother," Cui Changjia looked at Cui Xiuyuan and greeted him, "Where's mom?"

Cui Xiuyuan had just changed the medicine and had a strong smell of medicine on his body. "I went to the hospital. The doctor called and said that our father's hand moved and he seemed to be regaining consciousness."

"That's great!" Cui Chengze said happily, "Ah, today is such a good day!"

Cui Chengze's mood made Cui Xiuyuan laugh. It was something she never dared to think that her younger brothers and sisters could get their money back. Her younger brothers and sisters had worked so hard, and as the eldest brother, he couldn't be so decadent!

Cui Changjia went to the bathroom to wash up and came out. Cui Xiuyuan was already sitting at the table waiting for her. Cui Chengze was sitting next to his eldest brother, happily telling him about what happened today, "Brother, now I know my sister is such a hidden talent! She is not afraid of someone as powerful as He Liangcai, and she even got the payment from him..."

Cui Changjia sat down while talking, and smiled slightly, "Okay, if your sister was really capable, He Liangcai wouldn't have used the furniture to pay off the debt, and he wouldn't have been owed so much money."

"Hey, sister, you are really amazing. You pulled so many pieces of furniture back just like that!" Cui Chengze couldn't help but admire.

"They are all in the name of our father," Cui Changjia raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Cui Chengze's hands. "Your hands are worn out from moving furniture. When you go to bed at night, think about disinfecting them and wipe them with iodine."

Cui Chengze shook his hands nonchalantly and said proudly, "I'm a man, this little injury is nothing. Brother, you don't know, today fortunately my sister is smart, she deposited the money in the bank and put the remaining cash in her pocket, otherwise the 5,000 yuan would have been stolen! The bag was even cut!"

Cui Xiuyuan felt distressed. Listening to his brother speaking so easily, he also started a business with his parents. How could he not know the difficulties involved?

He pursed his lips and said, "Jia Jia, give me 20,000 yuan later."

"how?"

It’s not that Cui Changjia was reluctant to give money to Cui Xiuyuan, but his father Cui Wenquan needed the money more.

"In addition to the fundraising money, Mr. Fang from Pengcheng Transport Team still needs more than 60,000 yuan for shipping costs. I will give him 20,000 yuan tomorrow and pay him the rest slowly."

Fang Pengcheng!
As soon as this name was mentioned, Cui Changjia's anger was instantly ignited.

She felt extremely disgusted when she thought of Fang Pengcheng's greasy and hypocritical face in the box.

"Fang Pengcheng, he actually..."

Cui Changle was carrying the chicken soup over when she heard the name "Fang Pengcheng". She was startled and her hands trembled unconsciously, spilling the chicken soup instantly. She quickly looked up at her sister, her eyes full of panic and anxiety.
