I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 232 Cable car accident?

“Xiao Xie’s physical examination was in very good condition…it was amazing.

"Yes, his five blood tests are all within the standard range...Yes, his liver and kidney function, urine test, blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure are all within the normal range, without a single arrow.

"Yes, he now fully meets the criteria for discharge. Let me put it this way, in all my years as a doctor, this is the first time I've seen someone as healthy as him. Normal people will have one or two indicators that are slightly off, and that's normal. It's rare for someone like Xiao Xie to have no deviation at all...

"No, it's not abnormal. This is all analyzed by instruments and there is no problem. Xiao Xie is quite healthy and is in much better condition after waking up. To be honest, I don't understand it either. Maybe it's really God's blessing? Haha, the doctor said this is not appropriate, but sometimes modern medicine really can't explain all the problems."

In the ward, the bespectacled attending physician patiently answered questions from Xie Yuan's mother one after another. He showed no impatience at all, but instead had a rosy face.

After all, it is definitely something to be thankful for that the patient in a semi-vegetative state woke up in his hands!

Wang Yafang read the various physical examination reports again and again. After taking care of her son for so many days, she was very familiar with these reports. She really didn't see any problems and couldn't help but get excited.

But she still had some doubts. How could her son, who had been lying in the ICU every day and could not wake up, suddenly become healthier than an average person? Could it be a problem with the equipment?

Thinking that her joy might be in vain, she nervously confirmed again:

"Doctor Liu, is your equipment okay?"

"The most advanced testing equipment, imported from abroad and meeting national standards, was only introduced this year. There will be absolutely no problems."

Doctor Liu nodded heavily.

He turned around, looked at Xie Yuan, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Xie, you must take care of yourself after you are discharged from the hospital and be more considerate of your parents, especially your mother. She has worked so hard to take care of you during this period of time."

Xie Yuan looked at his mother, who was much thinner and haggard than in his distant memories, and the white hair that had suddenly grown on her temples. He felt a little sad and nodded repeatedly:
"I will. Doctor Liu, thank you so much!"

Doctor Liu laughed:
"The young man speaks like a knight. It's okay, this is all my job. Just remember to have regular checkups after you are discharged from the hospital. Well, if you don't mind, there may be interviews later... and some follow-ups for research purposes. Don't worry, it won't be very frequent and won't affect your rest."

Xie Yuan looked at Dr. Liu's expectant expression and nodded:
"no problem."

At this moment, the door of the ward suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses squeezed into the crowded ward and shook hands with the medical staff next to him:

“Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

"Thank you so much..."

The middle-aged man squeezed in front of Xie Yuan's bed, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his dull face:
"Is everything packed?"

Xie Yuan nodded:
"It's all packed, Dad. You can leave anytime."

"okay!!"

The family of three packed their bedding, kettles, washbasins and other items, and left the place where they had stayed for a month.

After arriving at the hospital entrance, the couple took Xie Yuan to the bus stop and waited for bus No. 3.

Father Xie Guoliang hesitated, adjusted his glasses, and said softly:
"The car broke down these two days, so you have to take the bus."

Xie Yuan smiled and said:

"Dad, what's the hard work? You are the ones who are working hard."

After laughing, he looked at the route map on the platform and pursed his lips slightly.

I remember that my home is not on the route of bus No. 3.

The bus arrived and the three got on. Xie Guoliang and Wang Yafang packed up all the things and did not let Xie Yuan carry anything heavy.

Xie Yuan felt somewhat helpless. He felt that he was full of strength now and could carry all the luggage by himself without any effort. However, he just couldn't compete with his parents.

Fortunately, there are not many people on the bus now, and there are seats for several people. We just keep shaking the bus and get home after twenty minutes.

But it’s not the home I remember.

Looking at the unfamiliar old-style tube building in front of him, Xie Yuan remained silent and followed his parents up the narrow and dark stairs.

Xie Guoliang is a high school Chinese teacher. Now in middle age, he doesn't like to exercise. It was a bit tiring for him to carry such a large pile of luggage.

He was standing at the corner of the stairs, gasping for breath, when he suddenly felt a lightness on his back. Looking back in surprise, he found that Xie Yuan had already taken away his and his mother's luggage and was carrying them on his back with one hand.

He said anxiously:

"What? I can lift it, but you..."

"Dad, which floor is it? I can get up there in two steps. I really can't walk any further."

Xie Yuan interrupted directly.

Seeing his son's decisive and calm appearance, Xie Guoliang was stunned and felt a little uncomfortable.

But he said subconsciously:

"Oh, oh, 6th floor, 602."

After hearing this, Xie Yuan walked upstairs quickly, while Wang Yafang was still holding the luggage behind him.

"Mom, please walk slower! Stop pushing me. I can carry you."

He simply took three steps at a time and reached the door of 602 in two steps. He looked at the rusty house number with a frown.

Two minutes later, Xie Guoliang and Wang Yafang came up. Seeing that Xie Yuan was neither blushing nor out of breath, they looked at each other and were both surprised.

It seems that my son has really recovered fully... and is even stronger than before?

The money spent on the ICU was not wasted.

Wang Yafang took out the key, opened the door, and let Xie Yuan go in first.

Xie Yuan carried his things and walked into this narrow two-bedroom apartment built in the 1980s style. For some reason, he first looked at the walls around him.

Well, no holes.

"Son, this will be our new home from now on. The original house... has been mortgaged."

Wang Yafang stammered.

If that's the case, I thought my memory was a little confused...

Xie Yuan turned around, took his mother's handbag, and said with a smile:
"I've wanted to move for a long time, and finally I did! I think this place is nice, and it's close to the city."

Wang Yafang and Xie Guoliang both forced smiles. Their son was sensible, but they felt a little sad.

However, as long as my son wakes up, that's the best, nothing else matters.

"Wait! Son, don't move."

Wang Yafang remembered something, went to the kitchen and tinkered around, then made a brazier and placed it at the door.

"You go from here! Be careful not to burn your feet."

Xie Yuan was a little amused when he saw this:
"Isn't the brazier used at this time...?"

"Don't worry about it, get rid of the bad luck, and I wish you will be immune to all diseases and have smooth sailing in the future!"

Xie Yuan stepped over the brazier as instructed, and then saw his parents smiling heartfeltly.

The mother wiped her eyes again, turned around and worshiped in front of the small Buddha statue on the partition, muttering something, asking for Buddha's blessing, etc., which made Xie Yuan feel helpless.

Go home.

Xie Yuan looked at his old but clean new room and felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

But when he heard the noise of his parents packing up outside, he couldn't help but smile.

Although it’s my first time entering this house… this is the feeling of home.

After a moment, Xie Guoliang came in and looked at Xie Yuan:

"Son, are you tired?"

"I've been resting for so long, why should I be tired? I have plenty of energy."

Xie Yuan was half joking.

Xie Guoliang also smiled. Although he felt that his son was slightly different from before, it was normal for people to change after encountering such a big event. As long as he could still move, it was fine.

"Okay, pack up and let's go out for dinner. Grandpa, grandma, uncles and aunts are all waiting to celebrate with you!"

Chun Jiang Restaurant.

It is called a restaurant, but it is just a home-style restaurant by the river. However, it is inexpensive and the food tastes good. It is also close to my grandmother's house, so Xie Yuan's family used to go there for dinner often.

We booked the largest private room, but the table for 14 people still wasn't big enough, so we added a few more chairs and filled it up.

My grandparents had passed away a long time ago, and only my grandparents were left. Together with my eldest and second uncles' families, my uncle and aunt, the place seemed a bit crowded, but lively.

Seeing his family members all so happy and cheerful, and feeling more joyful about eating a home-cooked meal than the New Year's Eve dinner, Xie Yuan felt a sense of reality.

This must be true. I always feel groggy after waking up. I can’t remember many things. It may be a sequelae…

But the feeling of being surrounded by family members made Xie Yuan feel the warmth he had not felt for a long time.

My uncle and aunt often come to replace my mother and take care of me... My grandmother cooks every day and asks my grandfather to take her to the hospital... My uncle and aunt help contact doctors, inquire about various medicines and treatment plans, and even negotiate with the scenic spot for compensation, which greatly relieves the pressure on the family.

An unstoppable warmth surged through Xie Yuan's heart.

finally home.

He stood up, immediately attracting everyone's attention, and the lively conversation suddenly became quiet.

Xie Yuan raised the glass of orange juice and said seriously:

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt..."

After naming all the relatives, he continued:

"Thank you for your care and help. Without you, I might not wake up. I don't drink alcohol, so I can only drink beverages instead. I toast to all the elders and brothers and sisters!"

Xie Yuan drank the drink in one gulp. His family members' eyes were a little hot, and his aunt and sister-in-law even picked up tissues.

"This child has grown up."

"it is good!"

My uncles and uncles were all very excited and drank the wine in one gulp.

Wang Yafang was also filled with emotion. After Xie Yuan sat down, she asked:
"Didn't you hate these the most?"

Xie Yuan shook his head:
"Thanks should be given."

After a round of drinking, the uncle looked at Xie Yuan:

"Xie Yuan, now that you have recovered, what are your plans for the future? Continue to take the entrance exam, or..."

Xie Guoliang pushed up his glasses:

"Brother, don't worry, let him rest for two more days."

The aunt also pushed the uncle:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Others have just been discharged from the hospital. There's no point in asking these questions and urging them to do things!"

The uncle was a little embarrassed and sighed:
"Xie Yuan has been discharged from the hospital, so I'm just asking him. After all, it's been so long, and the second brother and the others..."

Xie Guoliang shook his head:

"It's okay, big brother. There's nothing wrong at home. I'll teach a few more classes and get a higher salary."

Uncle nodded and sighed:

"You should also take care of your health. You get up early and go to bed late every day. Don't go in and out one after another."

The aunt frowned and said angrily:

"Xie Guodong, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

On the other side, the uncle pulled Wang Yafang to the corridor outside the door, whispered something, and then stuffed an envelope into her mouth, which Wang Yafang refused no matter how hard she tried.

Xie Yuan's ears moved and he heard the conversation:

"...Sister, take it. Xie Yuan has just been discharged from the hospital, and you still need money."

"Oh brother, I don't want it! Your grandson has just been born, so you need more money, right?"

"It's okay. Your sister-in-law and I are both retired, and we have nowhere to spend our pensions."

"That's what I said, sister-in-law..."

"Don't mind her, she knows...well, don't tell her."

Xie Yuan looked at his aunt and clearly saw that she noticed her husband and sister-in-law went outside the door. Her face turned dark, but she didn't say anything.

The sounds outside the door could not be heard in the noisy environment, but Xie Yuan could hear them; and Xie Yuan had never cared about or remembered the expressions of the crowd before, but now he could see them all.

Xie Yuan ate in silence, feeling that he had a very good appetite.

arrive home.

The water in the bathroom was splashing.

When Xie Yuan was taking a shower, Wang Yafang kept asking him if the water temperature was suitable, and she kept standing by the water heater on the balcony just by the sound.

Xie Yuan was touched by this long-lost caring and concern, but also a little helpless about this excessive thoughtfulness. After coming out, he sighed:
"Mom, just take a rest. I will still take a shower."

"I know, it's not because I'm afraid of you... well, and this water heater doesn't work very well."

Wang Yafang muttered.

Xie Yuan felt that this water heater was too old-fashioned. Not only did the startup sound like an engine, but the water temperature also fluctuated.

He was silent for a moment, went back to his room and lay on the bed.

Xie Yuan suddenly forgot about his slight worries and completely relaxed.

It really feels like a dream.

I don’t even dare to sleep. What if I wake up and find out it’s fake?
After waking up from the hospital, although I was dazed, I felt very healthy, with no broken arms or legs, and no sequelae...

The financial situation at home is not very good, but I am still young and have a lot of potential in the future.

There is hope for everything.

I just always feel that I slept too long.

Spent a month in the ICU?

It feels like a very long dream.

Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and it seemed that there was a village, firewood, an axe, and a knight in his dream, starting from the cable car...

His brows slowly frowned, and suddenly he subconsciously changed his mind and stopped thinking about it.

When I woke up, I found that the cable car had fallen down. Fortunately, it was not far from the hillside and I did not die on the spot.

And then it was such a long time before I woke up again.

But what happened in between?

Xie Yuan couldn't help but recall.

Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan...Zhang Shan?
Xiaoshi Village?
Xie Yuan's expression suddenly tensed and he blinked.

Sure enough, a panel appeared in front of me, like floaters, but with a long string of numbers and names.

Just like a game interface, it is full of martial arts techniques.

His face puffed up and he slowly raised his hand.

A golden light emerged from the palm of his hand and was about to form a light shield.

Xie Yuan suddenly clenched his fist, grasped the golden light, and disappeared.

His face looked extremely ugly.

Compared to the Qi and Blood Level 2 Transformation, he is a little weaker, but much better than an ordinary person. He can recover slowly...

Xie Yuan instantly determined his own condition.

It was good news, but he couldn't be happy at all.

He closed his eyes tightly, as if he could still hear his parents whispering in the next room, how much they owed to someone, how much interest they had this month…

Xie Yuan slowly covered his head with the quilt and hid completely in the bed.

Early the next morning.

Xie Yuan suddenly woke up and cried out inwardly, "Oh no!"

I knew I couldn't sleep, but I fell asleep without knowing when.

But looking at the same old new room around him, he was stunned, stayed on the bed for a long time, and suddenly relaxed.

Get up, brush teeth, wash face, and have breakfast.

Eggs, milk, and black sesame paste.

Wang Yafang looked at Xie Yuan happily as he wolfed down his food, and kept admonishing him:

"Eat slowly, there's more."

My son is now full of life and his appetite is much bigger than before. That’s great!

"Where's Dad?"

Xie Yuan asked while eating.

"Your father is now leading the boarding students in morning exercises, and also doing morning self-study every day. He has already left the house."

Wang Yafang said:

"At night, he has to finish his evening self-study and check the dormitories before coming back. He stays at school all day, which saves money on food."

If you take on all the things that other teachers don’t like to do, how much more can you earn per month... probably a few hundred?
Xie Yuan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked:
"Mom, how much money does our family owe now?"

Wang Yafang was stunned for a moment and changed the subject:

"Why are you asking this as a kid? By the way, today..."

"I'm not a child anymore. After what happened, I should also consider family matters. I can't always burden you."

Xie Yuan interrupted.

Seeing her son's mature temperament, Wang Yafang pursed her lips and insisted:
"I'm glad you have this intention. But you don't have to worry about it. The house and car have been sold, and with the money borrowed from relatives, we don't owe much now. Your father can pay it back by working overtime. After a while, when it is confirmed that you have indeed recovered, you can go to school and I will go back to work in the factory. Then there will be no pressure."

Wang Yafang used to be a cashier in the factory. After Xie Yuan got into trouble, she naturally resigned and devoted herself to taking care of him in the hospital.

When Xie Yuan heard his mother say this, he had no choice but to nod.

Hope so.

He returned to his room and suddenly felt a little bored.

Picking up the previous postgraduate entrance examination materials and flipping through them, Xie Yuan felt that the words on them were very strange and distant, but one by one they surged from his memory, evoking those painful memories...

But the strange thing is that although his memory is a little fuzzy, Xie Yuan can remember these examples accurately as long as he sees them, and the solutions are clear at a glance, without the confused feeling as before.

He flipped through a few more pages, faster and faster, his eyes opening wider and wider.

Why do I feel that the questions in the postgraduate entrance examination are not that difficult?

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly closed the book and let out a sigh.

Martial arts is a practice and a transformation that can improve the overall capabilities of the human body, including the brain, not just the muscles...

Xie Yuan pursed his lips and threw the postgraduate entrance examination materials aside, not wanting to look at them anymore.

Given my family’s current conditions, it is impossible for me to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Although he is still a senior, he wants to find a way to earn money as soon as possible.

Xie Yuan picked up the phone on the table and was suddenly stunned.

What a strange feeling. I haven't thought about this thing since I woke up. I used to carry it with me even when I went to the toilet...

He turned on his phone, clicked on WeChat, and saw many small red dots.

Even classmates and friends who I haven’t contacted for a long time sent me greetings.

After all, it was on the news and became a hot topic... Xie Yuan read the messages one by one, feeling warm in his heart, but no one responded.

These friends seem like people from a distant past life, and in this present life, I don’t know how to communicate with them.

He sighed, downloaded a recruitment software, and prepared to see if there was anything he could do.

He was browsing through a wide variety of recruitment information, frowning when he saw the words "recharge to get more information" and "recharge to communicate directly with human resources."

Suddenly, Xie Yuan paused, raised his head slightly, and tilted his ear.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Here they come! Who is this..."

Wang Yafang, who was stewing chicken soup for Xie Yuan, came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, opened the door, and saw several big men in black leather jackets. Her face suddenly became a little nervous:
"What are you guys doing here?"

"Sister Wang, we heard that Xiao Xie was finally discharged from the hospital, so we came to visit him. Congratulations!"

The burly man in the lead carried a fruit basket, stuffed it into Wang Yafang's hand, and then squeezed directly into the house.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute!"

"It's okay, Sister Wang, we don't want to drink tea, just sit for a while."

Four big men came into the room and sat on the sofa. There was room for only three of them, so the other one had to sit on a small stool next to it.

The living room suddenly seemed crowded and depressing.

Xie Yuan came out and saw his mother was at a loss. He frowned and said:
"If you have something to do, please come next time. Old Xie is not here today..."

"It's the same if we go find Sister Wang, or if Sister Wang doesn't care, then we should go find Brother Xie at school?"

The burly man in the lead said with a smile.

Wang Yafang glared:
"No, no...what's wrong with you guys?"

She looked at her son and wanted him to go in, but Xie Yuan remained unmoved and just quietly glanced at the four burly men who were a size bigger than him.

The leading sturdy man didn't rush to speak, but just looked at Xie Yuan, seeming a little curious:

"This is Xiao Xie, right? Handsome guy. He actually woke up. This is the power of maternal love... and the power of money.

"A month in the ICU. Just think about it. My hooks are clamped tight! If I lie in there, my wife will definitely pull out the tube! Hey, Xiao Xie, you should thank your mother."

Xie Yuan looked calm and nodded:

"Don't worry about it, big brother."

The sturdy men were all stunned for a moment. They had seen college students borrowing money before. Even if they hadn't said anything when they came to their door, they were all so scared that they couldn't speak clearly.

This vegetative patient who just crawled out of the hospital looks like he has seen the world?
Maybe my brain is still slow...

The strong man hummed and said with a smile:

"Xiao Xie, do you know how much money you spent on your parents this month?"

"Boss Tian, ​​if you have anything to say, just tell me and Lao Xie. There's no need to tell my son!"

Wang Yafang suddenly screamed, startling the strong men.

Boss Tian frowned and pressed his hands:
"Calm down, calm down! Okay, Sister Wang, let me tell you, is it time to pay back the money you owe this month?"

"Didn't I transfer part of it to you yesterday..."

"It's been a few days, and you've only paid back less than half. You've already breached the contract! We brothers all need to eat, and you don't pay us back. We have nothing to eat, so we can only beg for food at your house."

Boss Tian shrugged his nose and said with a smile:

"Black chicken soup? Sure, I'm in for a treat today."

Wang Yafang was a little short of breath:
"This soup is not made for you guys... You guys go back first, I'll ask Old Xie to think of a solution and give us two more days."

"Sister Wang, it's not that I'm not lenient, it's just that it's been overdue for a few days. The contract clearly states that it's due on the 15th of every month, and today is the 20th. How can you not be lenient? It's really hard to borrow money now."

Boss Tian sighed, and several of his men also cried out:

"That's right! Borrowing money and not paying it back, how can that be justified?"

"You are a bunch of deadbeats!"

"Call the police! Let's call the police!"

"Go to the school and find that guy, and ask the leader to lend him money!"

There was a burst of howling, and the neighbors in the corridor opened their doors to see what was happening, which immediately made Wang Yafang a little anxious:
"Hey, stop shouting, stop shouting!"

The house was originally rented, and it was not easy to find a place that was cheap and convenient. It would be troublesome if I was found to have borrowed money and was kicked out.

"Bam—"

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

Boss Tian shuddered, looked at Xie Yuan beside the door in surprise, and muttered:

"Why close the door? We are doing a legitimate business, and we have a clear conscience to open the door."

"Is loan sharking a legitimate business?"

Xie Yuan said coldly.

Boss Tian stretched out his hand and sighed:
"Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! Our interests are all legal, and our company is registered with the Industry and Commerce Bureau and has a business license! You can read the contract yourself. We live in a society ruled by law, and we don't do that."

Xie Yuan glanced at Boss Tian and took the contract from him.

Boss Tian looked at Xie Yuan's eyes, his hands suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously retracted his hands. The contract fell from the air and was caught steadily by Xie Yuan.

The sturdy man's throat moved, and he subconsciously explained:

"My hands were shaking. It wasn't intentional. Oh, I'm getting old..."

He took a sip of mineral water, feeling somewhat doubtful.

I really didn't mean it just now. I just took one look at that young man and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

That feeling, that feeling, like those people before...

Xie Yuan took a look and really couldn't see any problem.

But that interest rate, if I remember correctly, is the upper limit stipulated by law.

He pursed his lips and tightened his face:

“This is too high.”

"It is reasonable and legal, and we are willing to fight and be beaten. I pity the love of parents in the world."

Boss Tian said with a smile:

"What do you say, Xiao Xie? You are a college student, you are well-educated and reasonable, shouldn't you act according to the contract? If you don't come out, we can only eat here and wait for Lao Xie to come back to discuss it."

Xie Yuan shook his head:
"I don't have the money today, I will find a way, but please leave now, it's not convenient for my home to entertain so many guests."

Boss Tian choked:
"How can you be so stubborn even though you have no money? If we don't get the money today, we won't leave!"

"It's illegal to break into someone's house."

Xie Yuan said coldly.

Boss Tian wanted to say something, but when he looked at Xie Yuan, he paused and coughed:
"If you don't welcome us, then we will sit in the corridor and at the gate of the community. Yes, we will bring banners with us. That is not your territory, right? We are in compliance with the law, right? Sister Wang, you definitely don't want to make a fuss like this."

Xie Yuan frowned, suddenly at a loss for a solution.

The methods I know... When it comes to reasonable loan sharks, it seems to be useless in a society ruled by law. Gangsters keep pace with the times, and you can't just kill them and bury them in the mountains to solve the problem.

Wang Yafang pulled Xie Yuan and said:
"Forget it, son, just leave them here and ignore them."

on the coffee table.

Several big men huddled together, each holding a pair of chopsticks, wolfing down the few side dishes.

"Why are there only these few dishes? I'm not full! There's no wine either..."

A strong man shouted, but Wang Yafang ignored him.

In the already narrow house, the living room was the dining room and the coffee table was the dining table. Four strong men and the mother and son sat together in a solemn atmosphere.

Xie Yuan frowned, and then Wang Yafang winked at him and quietly called him to the kitchen:

"You're almost done with the chicken soup..."

"Isn't there chicken soup? Serve it up quickly."

A strong man suddenly squeezed to the kitchen door and reached out to grab it.

Wang Yafang suddenly became anxious and pushed the strong man twice, almost knocking over the bowl of soup. The kitchen floor was slippery and she almost lost her balance.

Xie Yuan held his mother steady with one hand and grabbed the strong man's collar with the other, staring at him:
"roll!"

He pushed lightly, and the strong man took several steps back, bumping into the wall before he could stabilize himself. He immediately became angry:
"You were the first to attack! Who are you?"

Several people crowded at the kitchen door, without reaching out their hands, just yelling:

"It is only natural to pay back debts!"

"Old Lai, Old Lai!"

"Send you to the police station!"

One of them "accidentally" knocked over the cup, and with a bang, broken glass splashed all over the floor.

The sturdy man's loud voice frightened Wang Yafang so much that her face turned pale. She suddenly covered her chest and became speechless.

Xie Yuan's eyes narrowed and he said anxiously:

"Mother!"

During the influenza pandemic, my mother's lung function was somewhat impaired. She has had some asthma symptoms and often has difficulty breathing.

When Xie Yuan saw his mother was frightened and had a seizure, his eyes immediately widened into copper bells:
"Get away!!"

He pushed all the people in front of him to all directions, then helped Wang Yafang sit down on the sofa, and quickly took out the asthma spray for her to use, and it finally relieved the symptoms.

The strong men were all silent, looking at each other, and one of them even pouted and said:
"So weak? Don't blame us if you die."

Xie Yuan suddenly raised his head, took two steps to the person who was speaking, and picked him up:
"You were the one who broke the cup just now, right?"

The man was a head taller than Xie Yuan, with an inverted triangle body and taut muscles. However, Xie Yuan grabbed him by the neck and held him in the air, unable to move. His face instantly turned the color of liver.

Boss Tian was surprised:
"Stop, stop!"

"Don't mess around!"

"Let go!"

The other two strong men were also shocked and tried to pry Xie Yuan's hand. However, that seemingly thin arm was like an iron hoop and the two men were unable to move it at all. They were suddenly horrified.

Xie Yuan turned his head and said coldly:
"Clean the glass off the floor for me. I'll put him down when it's clean."

The two were stunned and looked at Boss Tian, ​​who shouted:
"Hurry up and do it!"

Watching the two people hurriedly sweeping the floor, Boss Tian glanced at Xie Yuan, who was full of murderous intent, hissed, turned around and made a phone call:

"Old Zhou, come here for a moment. Something happened. Yes, the address is..."

After a while, the ground was swept clean, and Xie Yuan loosened his grip and dropped the big man.

The big man sat down on the ground, holding his neck and gasping for breath. However, when he opened his hand and looked, there was not even a fingerprint.

Boss Tian took a look and his eyes widened immediately. This...

Xie Yuan had a blank expression on his face. With his ability to control himself, it would be effortless for him to break the man's neck or just hold him up.

Before he could say anything, footsteps were suddenly heard at the door, and then someone knocked on it.

"Sheriff! Did someone call the police here?"

Xie Yuan frowned, opened the door, and saw two uniformed sheriffs. There were already quite a few people gathered in the corridor.

Boss Tian exhaled and said enthusiastically:

"Old Zhou, here I come."

Lao Zhou glanced at him:
"Why are you being so affectionate? Are you going to call the police and tell them something's wrong?"

Boss Tian groaned, pointed at the burly man on the ground, and then pointed at Xie Yuan:
"Officer Zhou, look, this kid hit someone, strangled him, and almost strangled him to death!"

Old Zhou was stunned for a moment, looking at the thin Xie Yuan and the burly man on the ground with suspicion, and remained silent.

He looked at Boss Tian:

"Are you here to collect a debt?"

"Yes, if you don't pay back your debt, you have to come to collect it."

Old Zhou looked at Xie Yuan again and said hesitantly:
"Young man, tell me what's going on."

"They stayed in my house, broke glasses, and yelled, which frightened my mother to the point of having a seizure."

"Don't talk nonsense. It's your mother's fault. It has nothing to do with me."

"Your subordinate fell to the ground by himself. It has nothing to do with me."

Xie Yuan answered immediately.

Boss Tian was choked up immediately, and then he looked at Lao Zhou and glared at him:
"I told you to act according to the law, so what are you doing in someone else's house?"

“Well, we are legal…”

Boss Tian rolled his eyes, and seeing that he would be in jail if he continued talking, he dragged the man away:

"Forget it, we'll leave today."

"and many more."

Lao Zhou stretched out his hand and looked at Xie Yuan:
"You guys don't have anything to do today?"

"No."

Xie Yuan looked at Boss Tian and answered calmly. He didn't want to take notes either, as it was of no practical use.

Seeing how well-cooked they are, they are obviously good cuts of meat.

Boss Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Young man, the contract is written in black and white. You have to pay back the money you owe. Forget about this month, but the penalty for next month will be higher. If you can't pay it back..."

He looked at the neighbors around him and said with a smile:
"The only way is to go to your father's workplace."

Xie Yuan looked at him quietly:
"If my dad loses his job, we won't be able to pay back a penny, and we won't be able to afford food. My family will be desperate by then, and I've died once before, so I guess you don't want to see me even more."

Boss Tian's expression suddenly stiffened, and Lao Zhou frowned and shouted:
"What nonsense are you talking about, young man? Are you threatening me in front of me?"

Xie Yuan looked at Lao Zhou and said coldly:

"Are you guys in the same group?"

Old Zhou was stunned for a moment, his face serious, and pointed at the number on his chest:
“This is my number. If you find any misconduct on my part, you are welcome to exercise your supervisory authority at any time.

"These guys are old faces in the police station. They come here often and like to call the police. They are just acquaintances."

Xie Yuan's face was tense:

"So you're just going to let them be like this? Do nothing?"

Old Zhou shook his head:
"They didn't do anything that obviously violated the law. At most, they were suspected of provoking disturbances. They were released after a few days in prison. For them, it was like going home. Times have changed. Their companies have professional legal advisors who know how to avoid breaking the law and the companies are compliant. We don't have any special solutions. We can only advise you to be patient when you encounter them, call the police if necessary, and don't take the initiative to lose your temper, otherwise they will call the police..."

Lao Zhou chatted with Xie Yuan for a few more words, and after confirming that nothing serious happened, he left.

Xie Yuan closed the door, poured a glass of water for his mother who was sitting on the sofa, then quietly cleaned up the table, washed the pots and dishes, and returned to the sofa.

Wang Yafang's face looked gloomy, her breath was weak, and she was still gasping for breath.

Xie Yuan sighed:

"Mom, how much did we borrow from them?"

"No, not a lot, just over half a million."

Wang Yafang whispered.

Xie Yuan frowned. More than fifty?
At that interest rate, my dad’s monthly salary is barely enough to pay the interest.

Over fifty may not seem like an astronomical figure, but it was the money Xie Yuan's family had to borrow after selling their car and house and borrowing from relatives and friends. It was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Xie family has no place to fill this hole and can only maintain it with all their might.

The Xie family is a dual-income family. The parents' income is not high but stable. They have a car, a house, and savings. They can also travel every year. They are a typical middle-class family.

But Xie Yuan's accident cost too much. He lay in the ICU for more than a month without waking up. His parents spent tens of thousands of dollars every time they opened their eyes, but they were unwilling to give up any opportunity, so they just kept him there.

Although I waited for a miracle, my family's assets were completely drained. Although the scenic spot gave compensation, the legal affairs of that large tourism group were no worse than those of a loan company, and the compensation was obviously not enough to cover all the expenses of the ICU.

The seemingly happy middle-class families fell back into poverty due to illness and were even on the verge of collapse.

If it was a common illness or even a serious disease, it might be cured and the medical insurance could cover it to some extent; but Xie Yuan was in a semi-vegetative state, and even the rich might not be able to afford to have him accompany him all the time, unless he was as wealthy as the King of Chess, he could still attend his daughter's wedding after hanging on to his life for more than ten years.

If Xie Yuan woke up a little later, his parents would probably have to give up even if they didn't want to.

Xie Yuan comforted his mother and asked her to go back to bed and rest.

After the flu, my healthy mother became a little weak, and she aged very quickly after taking care of me for more than a month...

Xie Yuan let out a breath, sat on the sofa, scrolling through his phone, frowning.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was another knock on the door. Xie Yuan opened the door and saw people from the property management and neighborhood committee coming together.

"Um...Xiao Xie, right? Where's your parents?"

"I'm an adult, you guys can talk."

The two aunts looked at each other and coughed:
"It's like this, you guys just moved here, you weren't originally residents here. We're neighbors, so we're not familiar with you.

"Well, after all, we are renting a house, so sometimes we have to pay attention to the impact. If there are too many gangsters and sheriffs, the neighbors will feel uneasy, right?"

"I'm so sorry, it was an accident today and caused you trouble. We promise not to do it again."

Xie Yuan looked apologetic and bowed repeatedly to apologize.

Seeing his good attitude, the aunt didn't say much:
"Okay, young man, tell your parents what I mean. If this happens again... you'll have no choice but to give up the lease."

After the two ladies left, Xie Yuan closed the door and let out a long sigh.

My family is already struggling to make ends meet, and if we can’t find a suitable place to rent… the rent in other places will be much higher.

Xie Yuan felt genuinely anxious.

Even if everything here is...

But Xie Yuan still wanted to stay here a little longer, see his parents more, feel the warmth of home more, and make his parents happy.

How to do it……

Xie Yuan browsed the recruitment software on his phone, but after searching for a long time, it seemed that there was no suitable one. After all, as a college student who had not graduated yet, he could only do a part-time job at most. It was impossible for him to solve a debt of more than 500,000 yuan, especially in a short period of time.

In addition to the 500,000 yuan, friends and relatives also borrowed a lot of money.

Although they haven't urged them yet, Xie Yuan's family of three are the kind of people who feel uneasy when they owe money, so they must pay it back as soon as possible.

Xie Yuan looked at the Buddha statue his parents had placed on the partition and sighed.

Although my mother prayed devoutly, Buddha could not help the poor.

He opened WeChat again, scrolled through it, and suddenly saw a name.

After a pause, Xie Yuan replied under the long string of white chat records:
"Brother Bing, I'm awake now. Let's go out and have a gathering."
