Guo Hao's recommendation was indeed correct. The barbecue restaurant downstairs of the cram school was delicious. Anyway, Guo Hao was treating the guests. Lin Yan took the girls to eat till they were full before reluctantly leaving and going home.
It was already after eight o'clock in the evening when Lin Yan got home. It was getting dark and the moon was climbing up from the east. As he walked along the stairs to the door of his house, Lin Yan vaguely heard a conversation coming from inside through a security door.
Voice.
"Third sister, when will you repay the money? I know your family is in difficulty during this period, but my family is not rich either..."
"Yes, Third Sister, do you want to tell me when to pay back the money?"
Lin Yan was very familiar with these two voices. The one who spoke was his uncle and the other was his aunt.
I looked down at the shoe cabinet in front of the door again, and sure enough there were two more pairs of shoes.
It must be my uncle or aunt who came to visit.
Taking out the key, Lin Yan opened the security door and walked in.
At this time, the aunt in the living room was pointing at Lin Yan's mother and said loudly: "Third sister, we didn't want to lend you the money at first. It was because we are all relatives and you and your brother-in-law are honest people, so we kindly gave it to you."
I lend you money, but you can’t borrow money and fail to pay it back, you’ll be a deadbeat!”
Lin Yan's mother looked guilty and her eyes were red. She lowered her head and said, "Sister-in-law, please give me another month of grace. I promise you that even if I sell the house this month, I will still give you the money."
You still come..."
Having said this, Lin Yan opened the door and came in. When they saw Lin Yan coming back, the adults quickly shut up and looked at Lin Yan with a friendly look.
"Yanyan is back?" Lin Yan's mother forced a smile and asked.
The uncle and aunt who had been so fierce just now also temporarily put away their anger, but they did not take the initiative to say hello to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan looked up at the tense living room and couldn't help but ask: "Dad, Mom, what happened? Do you owe uncle and the others money?"
Lin Yan's father quickly waved his hand towards Lin Yan and said, "Don't worry about adult matters. You can go back to your room and study."
Uncle Lin Yan also shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this, Yanyan."
But at this time, my aunt sneered and said: "Forget it, the house is so small, I can't hide it from my children. Yanyan, aunt, let me tell you the truth. Didn't your dad want to go out alone and open a small business during the period before the Chinese New Year?
As for the restaurant, your parents were short of money, so they lent us 20,000 yuan..."
Lin Yan thought about it after hearing this.
His father was a chef in a restaurant and was good at cooking. However, in recent years, the restaurant's treatment was getting worse and worse, so Father Lin came up with the idea of going out on his own.
Before the Chinese New Year, he wanted to buy a store and open a small restaurant, but he still had little money on hand, so he asked relatives and friends to pool some money and finally bought the store.
But opening a restaurant is not as easy as imagined, and this year is special. In the past four months, the restaurant has had no business at all and cannot make any money at all.
Father Lin also quit his job, paid the rent of the hotel, and bought a lot of kitchen utensils and ingredients, but now he has nothing but water in a bamboo basket.
Lin's father and Lin's mother owed a lot of debt, so they tried every means to pay back the money of some of their estranged friends. Now only the uncle's family is left with money that has not been paid back, but the two of them really can't think of a way to do it.
.
Now that her aunt revealed the matter, Lin Yan knew the truth.
Father Lin didn't want Lin Yan to worry about this matter, so he quickly turned to his aunt and said, "Sister-in-law, I promise you that we will pay back the 20,000 yuan this month. Don't worry."
However, my aunt didn't listen at all and snorted coldly: "Lin Jun, don't give me blind guarantees. How much is your guarantee worth? I don't care! Can you just give it to me like a gentleman?"
Pay back the money!”
Father Lin sighed in embarrassment, stamped his feet and said, "Sister-in-law, the family is really out of money. If I can just come up with money, why would I end up in such trouble with my relatives?"
But my aunt said with a straight face: "Lin Jun, since the matter has come to this point, I won't be friendly to you anymore. If you don't return the money to me, I will go to the neighborhood committee tomorrow and ask the neighborhood committee to give it back."
I will adjust it and let the neighbors know that you, Lin Jun, are an old man who doesn't pay back the money he owes!"
After hearing this, Father Lin's vision went dark and he almost sat down on the ground.
Mother Lin couldn't help but shed tears and begged in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, we are all relatives, we are all one family, why are you suffering?"
The aunt said with a stern face: "I don't want to cause trouble like this, but I am in a hurry to use money! You have to pay me back! No one's money comes from strong winds. If you have difficulties, we still have difficulties!"
Seeing this, Lin Yan finally couldn't help it anymore. He took a step forward, supported his mother who was already unsteady on her feet, raised his head and said to his aunt, "Aunt, don't worry, I will pay you back the money I owe you this month."
Is that possible? I’ll find a way.”
Hearing Lin Yan's words, my aunt couldn't help but rolled her eyes:
"You? Stop teasing me. You haven't graduated from high school yet. Where can you get money? Go back to the house quickly. This is our adult matter. Don't interrupt, kid."
Lin Yan said firmly, "I have my own way of making money. If you come back at the end of the month, I will definitely return the money to you in full."
The more my aunt listened, the more amused she became, and couldn't help but say: "What a little kid, you don't know the difficulty of making money at all. Do you think making money is so easy? If making money is really that easy, then you are not a multi-millionaire on the street?"
However, Lin Yan already had an idea in mind, a way to make money.
That's live streaming.
When Liuli and I were live broadcasting together before, both of us had a monthly income of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan at first. Later, Liuli became popular on the live broadcast platform, and their income doubled.
Although Lin Yan is now the only one left with only skills but without the appearance and voice of a female anchor, Lin Yan believes that technical anchors also have a certain audience, and he can at least make some money.
Raising his head, Lin Yan looked at his uncle.
He knew that his aunt had always been very harsh on their family. After all, his aunt had no blood relationship with them, but his uncle was his blood relative, at least with some flesh-and-blood ties.
"Uncle, you have watched me grow up. You should know what kind of character your nephew is. I guarantee here today that our family will definitely repay this money in one month. We are all relatives. Can you extend your grace?
A month?”
After Lin Yan finished speaking, his aunt quickly shook her head and said, "Don't listen to this child's nonsense. What can a child say? Today, you must pay back the money!"
However, at this time, the uncle reached out and grabbed his aunt, shook his head and said: "Yanyan has been a stable child since he was a child. I can trust him, isn't it just for one month? I will give you another month."
After saying that, the uncle dragged his aunt and walked out the door.
"Let's go. It's not appropriate to make such an ugly scene. In difficult times, everyone should take a step back."
"But!" Her aunt wanted to argue again, but unfortunately her uncle dragged her out of the door.
After finally sending away his uncle and aunt who were collecting debts, the atmosphere in Lin Yan's family became awkward.
My father sat on the sofa and sighed, and my mother silently wiped her tears.
Lin Yan looked at his parents and asked helplessly: "Why don't you say anything about the huge amount of money owed outside? I'm not young anymore. Knowing these things can at least help my family share some of the pressure."
Father Lin sighed and whispered: "Aren't we afraid of affecting your studies..."
Mother Lin sobbed: "Yanyan, Mom is sorry for you."
Lin Yan walked over and patted his mother on the shoulder, and then said: "It doesn't matter, Dad, Mom, let's find a way together and we will definitely get through this difficulty. Anyway, schools haven't resumed classes recently, so I can find a way to make some extra money.
"
After hearing this, Father Lin quickly asked vigilantly: "Yanyan, how can you make extra money as a child? You can't do anything illegal!"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, when have I ever done anything illegal or disciplinary? I have my own plans, so just leave it alone..."
After saying that, Lin Yan turned around and returned to the room.
After closing the door, he took out his cell phone and sent Chen Jingzhe a message.
"Jingzhe, let me teach you how to play jungle starting tomorrow. Let's meet at the cafe downstairs after your cram school is over?"
A few seconds later, Chen Jingzhe replied:
"Great! Thank you, Master. By the way, do you want to charge tuition?"
"If you don't accept it, just come and come." Lin Yan responded neatly.
