Chapter 7 Going to Collect Debts

The "Uncle Sheng" mentioned by Cui Changjia is Cui Ersheng, who is from the same village as Cui's family. He is two years older than Cui Wenquan, Cui's father. Because he was disabled since childhood and his feet were not very flexible, he never got married. Later, Cui Wenquan called him from his hometown to live in the factory, help in the kitchen, and do some odd jobs.

Something happened in the factory, so Cui Ersheng was arranged to return to his hometown. I didn’t expect that he is still here.

"Jia Jia, how is your dad?" Cui Ersheng was a little excited. "Did he ask you to come?"

"Uncle Sheng, my dad hasn't woken up yet. Are you here alone?"

Cui Ersheng sighed, "Your dad asked me to go back to my hometown, but I couldn't feel at ease. Luckily I didn't leave. Your dad originally found two people, but later he got sick, so they ran away. There are still some things burned here, and no one is taking care of them. What if they are lost? I don't have a phone, so I can't tell you. I think you will come sooner or later, so I'll just wait here."

In fact, Cui Ersheng didn’t know at all that these things no longer belonged to the Cui family, but to the bank.

Looking at the box filled with tightly covered things, the living environment in this shabby place, and then at the honest and pitiful Uncle Ersheng, Cui Changjia could no longer hold back, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

A fire made her see what "the evil of human nature" is. No matter how hard she was pushed, even if she gritted her teeth, she would not shed a tear for them. But facing Uncle Sheng, this old man who had no ability but tried every means to protect the Cui family, she could not help but be moved.

Cui Changjia looked at Cui Ersheng's old face and said, "Uncle Sheng, don't worry, I will take care of you until the end of your life!"

Although Cui Chengze was confused, when he saw this scene, he also shouted, "Uncle Sheng, you still have me. I will also take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."

Cui Ersheng pursed his lips, almost unable to speak with excitement, "You...you kids, it's raining here, come inside."

The past few years since Cui Wenquan brought him to the provincial capital have been the most stable times for him. He has no worries about food and drink, and receives a stable salary every month. The only thing he worries about is his death. Now that his two children say so, he has nothing to worry about even if he closes his eyes now.

The row of houses near the entrance that were not burned were originally staff dormitories. The beds were there before, and Cui Ersheng lived here.

Things were scattered everywhere in the house: burnt tables and chairs, messy daily necessities, cooking utensils, buckets. It was very messy.

Because there was no electricity, the room was very dark. Cui Ersheng found two benches for Cui Changjia and Cui Chengze to sit in the bright place near the door, and then he dragged his disabled leg to pour water.

Cui Changjia stopped Cui Ersheng and said, "Uncle, please stop being busy. Aze and I are here to find something. Please sit down and let's have a chat."

Cui Ersheng responded but did not sit down. He walked to the bed where he slept, rummaged under the pillow for a long time, and took out a cloth bag he had sewn. He walked over and handed it to Cui Changjia.

"Jia Jia, this is the money I saved, more than 3,000 yuan, you can take it all, you won't be able to use much, the family still needs food and drink."

Even if Cui Changjia had no money left, he would never take Cui Ersheng's money.

Cui Sheng insisted and stuffed the money into Cui Changjia's hand, "Why, do you think your uncle's money is not enough?"

Cui Changjia declined, "Uncle, we have thought of a way to raise money. You can keep this money for yourself. I'll have to trouble you to look after it for the time being. When my dad and my brother rebuild the factory, we'll have to ask you to come back and help. Keep this money for your living expenses."

"Really?" Cui Sheng asked with some disbelief.

"Really, I'm not lying to you."

Seeing Cui Changjia's expression, Cui Sheng believed it. "Good boy, you must have confidence. People encounter too many difficulties in life. We must get up from where we fell. Tomorrow, your father and elder brother will be well again. Once the factory is reopened, life will be better."

Cui Changjia sighed, yes, as long as there are people there, there is hope!
Cui Changjia explained her purpose. Cui Ersheng learned that Cui Changjia was looking for computers and information, so he immediately took her and Cui Chengze to the place where the computers were placed to look for them...

When Cui Changjia and her brother returned home, it was already dark and the rain was getting heavier. They were almost soaked from head to toe.

It was already autumn and the nights were already getting cold, not to mention the rain, but Cui Changjia and her brother were still steaming from their bodies.

The two of them drove the tricycle into the corridor together. Cui Changle had already opened the door when he heard the noise, and even Cui Xiuyuan followed out. When the plastic sheet covering the tricycle was opened, the documents and computers were revealed to be not wet at all!
"Hurry up and go change your clothes." As soon as they entered the house, Jiang Hongying dragged Cui Changjia and Cui Chengze to change their clothes. When Cui Changjia came out after changing his clothes, Jiang Hongying pushed him to the dining table, where there were two bowls of steaming ginger sugar water.

"Drink it to drive away the cold. Be careful not to catch a cold." After saying this, Jiang Hongying turned around and called Cui Chengze to come and drink.

Cui Xiuyuan was not idle either. He was leaning on a crutch and limping, but still insisted on helping to carry things. Xiaobao also came over to help. People in the room were coming and going, and there had not been such a big noise for a long time.

The things were quickly moved to the sunroom. Everyone was silent as they looked at the things placed there. Most of the documents and items showed signs of fire.

Jiang Hongying perked up and greeted them, "It's time to eat. It's better to work after eating. Lele, go get some food."

"Hey!" Cui Changle responded in a crisp voice.

"Auntie, I'll help too!" Xiaobao shouted behind Cui Changle. The four-year-old child was extremely adorable as he chased Changle and kicked his short legs.

The silent and depressing house became lively and energetic again because of the hustle and bustle and the children's laughter.

Of the two computers Cui Changjia and his team brought back, only one was usable. However, this one was used for purchasing, and the reports and documents inside were still complete. They also found an electronic version of the accounts receivable statement used for meetings in the folder.

That night, except for Xiaobao, everyone else in the Cui family did not fall asleep until the early morning. The next morning, Cui Changjia got up early again and went to the printing shop outside to print out all the documents and materials downloaded from the computer yesterday. After coming back, he sorted them out with everyone, made preparations, and took Cui Chengze to the bus station.

After discussion, Cui Changjia and Cui Chengze decided that the first stop for debt collection would be Qiaotou County Furniture City. This was the family that owed the most, a full 160,000 yuan!

Qiaotou County Furniture City, which belongs to the state capital, is more than two hours away by car.

When Cui Chengze was born, the Cui family was already somewhat wealthy. In his memory, he had always driven a car since he was a child and had never taken a bus. The smell of gasoline and the cramped space in the car made him feel unbearable. He wanted to talk to his sister, but when he turned around, he found Cui Changjia closing her eyes, as if she was asleep.

Cui Changjia's face was calm. Cui Chengze looked at his sister and suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. It seemed that his sister had been panicking since the incident at home. How could she suddenly become so determined and courageous? The moment the thought came to his mind, he suddenly felt that his sister was so strange.

"What are you looking at?"

Cui Changjia suddenly spoke and scared Cui Chengze.

"Ah... I see you're asleep? Sis, go to sleep."

Cui Changjia wrapped himself in the black fleece jacket and hummed.

Every autumn rain brings a chill. I could still wear a windbreaker during the day yesterday, but today I can only wear a fleece jacket.

In fact, she didn't like this fleece jacket very much. It was black and the fleece inside was a bit stiff, so it wasn't very comfortable to wear.

She was kicked out of her home and was only allowed to take a few clothes with her. She was in a hurry and just stuffed some clothes with her. She didn't have many clothes, and neither did other people. She had to find a way to make money quickly, otherwise she would have a hard time getting through the winter.

In fact, Cui Changjia couldn't sleep, so she closed her eyes just to rest. After a while, Cui Chengze's cell phone buzzed.

The phone rang for a long time before Cui Chengze picked up the phone, his voice very low.

"Hey."

"Aze, when will you come back?"
