Chapter 15: Paying Debts! Is Delivering Food Dishonorable?

When Zhang Lin heard his mother's words, he knew she was still bitter about the debt. The family's debt was a constant source of anxiety for her. Indeed, when he turned to look at her, her mood was clearly downcast. Such a state of mind was not good for her health. He decided it was time to reveal a bit more to her to set her mind at ease.

"Mom, I didn't know about the Zhang Dong family's situation before, but now that I do, we should pay back the 50,000 yuan we owe when we go to the hospital later," he said.

"We don't have 50,000 yuan at all!" Lin Yan sighed heavily. She wanted to pay off the debt so that her son wouldn't have to bear this burden at such a young age, but they simply didn't have the money.

"Mom, we do have it, and we can pay it back!" Zhang Lin quickly took out his phone and showed her the balance. "Look!"

Lin Yan's eyes widened as she saw the balance on the phone. She recounted the amount, which was over 180,000 yuan. This made her even more anxious, and she.. "0 "000.

Some things, even if they can earn a lot of money, we can't do them!"

She was clearly more anxious now. The amount of money her son had earned in such a short time was definitely suspicious. She had heard stories of someone in the village who had accumulated a debt of over a million yuan through in through of gambling, and100,000 through illegal online activities. He had not only paid off his debt but also bought a car and a house, and his family had become quite arrogant. But within two months, the police had caught up with him. Not only were his earnings confiscated, but he was also sentenced to ten years in prison.

Even though their family owed over a million yuan, she would rather suffer a bit and slowly pay off the debt than see her son take risks and go down the wrong path. What would they do if he ended up in prison for ten years like that person in the village?

Zhang Lin couldn't help but laugh at his mother's concern. "Mom, you’re worrying too much. I told you before about wholesaling peaches, right? This is the money I made from that."

"Wholesaling peaches can earn that much money?" Lin Yan was clearly shocked and then focused on the key point, "But even if wholesaling peaches can make money, it would take a significant investment to earn so much in such a short time. Where did you get the capital?"

Zhang Lin found this question hard to answer. He couldn't tell her that he bought peaches for 4 yuan a pound and sold them for 30 yuan; it was the truth, but no one would believe it. He could only fib, "Mom, I did go to college, so I know some wealthy classmates. You don't think my father can borrow so much money, but I can't get a bit of investment? And this is just the beginning; we'll pay off our family's debt soon."

While getting investment was the truth, he knew how to reassure his mother. Indeed, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. It made sense that her husband could borrow tens of thousands, so it wasn't strange that her son could get some investment. As a mother, she always believed her son was the best.

However, Lin Yan still reminded him, "Xiao Lin, since a classmate has invested in you, you must work hard and stay on the right path. In our family's situation, anyone willing to help us is a lifelong benefactor."

"Mom, I understand. Let's hurry up and eat; we need to go to the hospital to visit Uncle Er Gen later," Zhang Lin said quickly.

Uncle Er Gen was Zhang Dong's father.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Yan nodded immediately. Her worried expression was visibly lessened.

Zhang Lin felt much more at ease seeing this. It was good for his mother's health to relieve her of her mental burden and put the debt behind her.

After dinner, Zhang Lin and his mother set out for the county hospital. They bought a fruit basket from a fruit stand outside the hospital.

Visiting a sick person in the hospital shouldn't be done empty-handed.

After entering the hospital, Zhang Lin followed his mother to a ward in the orthopedic department, where they met Uncle Er Gen, who had been in a car accident. One of his legs was suspended in a thick cast, and one of his arms was similarly immobilized. It was clear that his injuries were quite serious.

But being alive after a car accident was a huge relief.

In the hospital room, Aunt Er Gen and Zhang Dong were present. Zhang Dong was peeling fruit for Uncle Er Gen, while Aunt Er Gen wore a worried expression.

Zhang Lin had seen that worried look on his mother's face many times. Zhang Dong's family was in a very difficult situation, which was why they had to borrow money for the hospital and surgery.

"Lin Yan, Xiao Lin, you're here," Uncle Er Gen said as soon as he saw them, greeting them quickly.

"Uncle Er Gen, are you feeling better?" Zhang Lin immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Lin Yan handed the fruit basket to Aunt Er Gen.

"You didn't have to bring anything!" Uncle Er Gen said hurriedly, knowing very well that the Zhang family was in a much worse situation than his own.

A stroke could strike at any time, turning a once-healthy family into a struggling one.

"Zhang Dong, why didn't you tell us about Uncle Er Gen? Are you trying to avoid us?" Zhang Lin asked Zhang Dong, a hint of reproach in his voice.

"Xiao Lin, what are you thinking?" Zhang Dong quickly denied, about to explain when his phone rang. His face showed a hint of worry as he saw the caller ID—it was his girlfriend. He quickly excused himself to take the call outside the room.

Seeing that his mother was already chatting with Aunt Er Gen, Zhang Lin chatted with Uncle Er Gen for a few moments before changing the subject. "Uncle Er Gen, I have another reason for coming today. My father borrowed 50,000 yuan from your family for his business. I'm here to pay it back."

"Xiao Lin, where did you get so much money?" Uncle Er Gen's brows furrowed. "We're not short of money right now. You don't have to rush to pay it back."

But as he spoke, Zhang Lin was already operating his phone, transferring the 50,000 yuan to Uncle Er Gen. "Uncle Er Gen, isn't it right to pay back debts? I have the money, so I should pay it back first. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Uncle Er Gen picked up his phone and saw the transfer, then sighed. "Xiao Lin, you'll go far. None of the other kids in the village are as sensible as you."

Aunt Er Gen, standing nearby, was also deeply moved. "Xiao Lin, you've had a tough life, but you're so sensible that it makes us envious. If Xiao Dong were half as sensible as you, we'd have a lot less to worry about."

Both of them spoke from the heart.

Their family was indeed going through a tough time. Knowing that the Zhang family was also struggling, they hadn't wanted to burden them. But now that Zhang Lin had transferred the 50,000 yuan, they couldn't refuse it, as the money would help them get through their current difficulties.

Zhang Lin stayed in the ward for a while longer, waiting for his mother to finish chatting with Aunt Er Gen before they said their goodbyes and left.

As the mother and son left, Uncle Er Gen didn't forget to remind his wife, "Don't tell anyone that Xiao Lin came to pay back the money."

"I know!"

Both of them understood why Zhang Lin had come to pay back the money—he must have heard about their financial troubles. This 50,000 yuan might have been a hard-earned sum, collected bit by bit. But since the Zhang family still owed money to others, if word got out that they had paid back 50,000 yuan to the Zhangs, others might feel upset and start complaining.

After leaving the hospital, Zhang Lin and his mother were about to leave when they saw Zhang Dong standing by the trash bin, smoking heavily and looking extremely dejected.

It was clear that something was wrong.

Zhang Lin quickly walked over and asked, "Zhang Dong, what's wrong? Why do you look so upset?"

Zhang Dong saw him and sighed deeply, his voice tinged with frustration. "Xiao Lin, if I deliver food and earn money through hard work, without stealing or robbing, is that embarrassing?"
