Just as Chen Yuan was thinking this, a black Honda Haoying stopped outside the mourning shed. After the door opened, a man with a slicked-back hair got out of the car.

Then, my uncle hurried forward to give out cigarettes and shake hands.

The man smiled and shook hands with my uncle. After a few pleasantries, he came over, took out a wallet from his pocket, and directly took out a stack of money and put it on the table: "Niuqiong, the ox in wooden ox and horse, Qiong... with the character Gong on the side, I don't know how to say it, right, right, that's how it's written, the young man is really smart."

Classic cattle flow is not divided.

And why choose such a complicated name?

Niuqiong.

Looks like a little boss.

As soon as Chen Yuan held the stack of money in his hand, he felt the other party's intentions.

Twenty sheets.

The gift money is only second to that of my uncle and aunt.

After counting, it was indeed two thousand.

So Chen Yuan wrote down two thousand in the notebook.

At the same time, I was curiously observing his conversations with other people.

"Brother Niu Qiong, you are Xinyu's father's best friend. I am really touched that you came specially." Aunt said with some sadness. "Fangfang, we often had dinner together back then." Looking at Aunt, Niu Qiong also said with emotion, "How old is your son?"

"New Year." Xia Fang patted Zheng Minghao's shoulder, "Call me Uncle Niu."

"Hello, Uncle Niu..."

"well."

The banquet was about to start and everyone was already seated. Chen Yuan had finished his work and did not pry any further. With so much money, he walked into the main hall and said to Xia Xinyu who was greeting the guests, "Where is the money?"

"Well, come on."

Xia Xinyu nodded to greet the guest, then walked into the room and closed the door. Seeing so much money in Chen Yuan's hand, she was a little surprised: "Why is there so much?"

"My aunt and uncle each got 5,000, and there was a man named Niu Qiong who also got 2,000," Chen Yuan replied.

"Uncle Niu gave two thousand?"

Although she felt that her uncle and aunt gave a little too much, they were family after all, so there was nothing wrong with it. But she was surprised that Niu Qiong gave so much.

"Is he a relative?" Chen Yuan asked.

Xia Xinyu shook her head and explained, "They are not relatives. They are my father's junior high school classmates and best friends. They worked together in Xingsha. Later, he went into business, and my father returned home to grow bamboo and sell bamboo shoots. Then...they are both five years older than my aunt, so when my aunt was still in college, they would take her out to play every time they returned to the countryside during the holidays."

"It's reasonable to give so much to such a good friend." Chen Yuan nodded, feeling that this was not surprising.

“But it’s too much…”

"He seems to be in good condition, and it's just a token of my thoughtfulness."

Patting Xia Xinyu on the shoulder, Chen Yuan wanted to tell her not to put so much pressure on herself.

Everyone is so generous because they really want to help her as much as possible.

But accepting the kindness of others is also a kind of gentleness.

"This money is enough to pay the rent for the next two years, and it is also enough for my living expenses." Xia Xinyu planned for the money.

As expected, Xia Xinyu would definitely do something like this to save money.

It’s okay. I’m here and Xinbao won’t starve or become thin.

It would be best if you can gain another 7 or 8 kilograms after completing three years of high school.

"The banquet is about to start, let's go out." Chen Yuan took the initiative to mention.

"okay."

Xia Xinyu nodded, put all the money into the drawer and locked it.

When the two were about to go out, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"The door is not locked, please come in." Xia Xinyu said.

The door was opened with a creak, and it was Uncle Niu Qiong who had just appeared.

He was a little surprised to see himself and Xia Xinyu in the same room, but he quickly smiled and said to Xia Xinyu: "Xinyu, I have something to tell you, is it convenient?"

"If it's convenient, let's talk about it here." Xia Xinyu indicated in a natural manner that Chen Yuan didn't need to leave in this situation.

"This..." Niu Qiong stroked his shiny back hair, hesitated for a while and then said, "I shouldn't have told you this, but your parents' incident was really sudden. Um... Did you know that when you were in junior high school, your father and I were in Xingsha and got injured?"

"Well, there is such a thing..." Xia Xinyu remembered this incident, but didn't understand why the other party brought it up.

"At the time, he was actually seriously injured and was in the ICU for a while, but he didn't want me to tell you, so he only said after he recovered that it was just a broken leg..."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Xia Xinyu's heart suddenly tightened, and she asked weakly, "Is it serious?"

I have no idea...

All I heard was that his leg was broken.

"It was a bit serious, but the operation was successful and he recovered quickly. I was with him the whole time and I know the situation."

Seeing Xia Xinyu's increasingly sad expression, Niu Qiong quickly explained: "He told me this. He fell into a coma and lost consciousness after falling into the pit. When he woke up, all he felt was the pain from the anesthesia... Apart from spending money, he didn't really experience any pain."

What he said was true, Chen Yuan could tell by listening to his heart.

But after all, I still experienced some bad things.

"Hmm..." Xia Xinyu nodded in fear, a little at a loss.

"Then..." Niu Qiong looked at the girl in front of him with a very reluctant expression. After struggling for a while, he took out a note and said, "This is the IOU your father wrote to me at that time. I said I didn't need it, but he still insisted on it."

Xia Xinyu took the IOU uneasily. She was just nervous at first.

When she saw the amount on it, her hands trembled.

"You can keep this IOU or tear it up." Niu Qiong waved his hands, very decisively.

"No... No." Xia Xinyu returned the IOU to the other party and said seriously, "Uncle, please don't tell my uncle and aunt about this money. I will pay it back to you. I will definitely pay it back."

"This...ah!" Niu Qiong felt very reluctant, but Xia Xinyu's persistent idea forced him to give up.

"Although I can't pay it back now, I will pay it back when I go to university." Xia Xinyu suppressed the weight in her heart and made the promise hard.

"Don't tire yourself out. It doesn't matter if you can't pay it back, really."

"I will return it. Uncle, please take a seat first, the feast is about to begin." Xia Xinyu invited.

"it is good."

So Niuqiong left like this.

And Xia Xinyu, as if her legs were filled with lead, felt suddenly weak.

Sitting on the bed, her mind felt a little empty.

My parents' inheritance was more than 70,000 yuan. I spent 16,000 yuan on the funeral, and there was 60,000 yuan left. With the funeral money this time, I still have 100,000 yuan left.

But these 100,000...

Don’t cry. Absolutely not.

You have to act stronger in front of Chen Yuan.

Just as she was thinking this, a hand covered her head and held her in its arms. She, in a shameless way, buried her face in it, not knowing what to say.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it."

"No, absolutely not..." Xia Xinyu shook her head and insisted, "I absolutely don't want this."

"Trust me, I'll fix it without spending a penny."

"Chen Yuan, I don't want to..."

Before Xia Xinyu finished speaking, Chen Yuan gently pinched her cheek. Seeing her bewildered look, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I have lied to you so many times. When have I ever lied to you?"

"But this time it's different. I have to pay back the money I borrowed..."

Xia Xinyu, whose soft face was being pinched, was so preoccupied with other things that she completely forgot that Chen Yuan's current behavior was a bit strange.

"Of course, you have to pay back the money you borrow."

But what if you didn’t borrow it?

Chapter 77 I want to protect her from any malicious intent

Because Chaozi left suddenly, as if he were dead, Chen Yuan lost control of many things.

For example, because listening to your inner voice consumes too much energy, if you are not careful, you will lose your job.

Just now, Chen Yuan relaxed and temporarily forgot to listen to Niu Qiong's voice.

But when he found out that this man was really not interested in money.

To be precise, it was only when he felt that the other party really did not want to take back the deposit that he realized the problem - there was a conspiracy.

He didn't want to take the money back, but he held the IOU and told Xinyu that she didn't have to pay it back.

So, what does he want to do?

In order to find out what he wanted to do, Chen Yuan specifically asked Xia Xinyu to arrange for him to eat at Niu Qiong's table.

Of course, he behaved very naturally, as if Tang Siwen was possessed, with his head buried the whole time. I was so happy.

The purpose of eating this is to conserve enough energy to use the USB drive, so that the USB drive won't pop out by itself while being used.

This wave is very critical, this hang cannot be lost.

But to solve this problem, just using cheating is not enough.

"I don't want to drink, I drove here." Seeing that some relatives of Xia Xinyu were toasting him, Niu Qiong waved his hands quickly, then respectfully held up a cup of tea with both hands, "I'll have tea instead of wine, sorry."

The banquet went on like this until after the meal, when the master of ceremonies began to speak, followed by the village chief's speech, and then the eldest aunt and uncle spoke.

Out of basic courtesy, Chen Yuan should have listened carefully.

But at this time, his superson was used for other purposes.
