How to be financially free

Chapter 362 Back to Hometown
After a full hour's drive, Xu Wen finally entered the territory of SH County by driving.

SH County, with a resident population of 60, is well-known as the Pearl of the Water Town and has a good reputation for attracting investment in recent years. It is one of the top [-] counties in the country.

And here is where Wen Qi grew up, her real hometown.

As Xu Wen drove into the urban area of ​​SH County, Wen Qi leaned against the window, her gaze stayed outside the window.

The scenery outside the window is extremely familiar, and every plant and tree bears her memories from childhood to adulthood.

"Have you been back this year?" Xu Wen asked while driving. Judging by Wen Qi's expression, it should have been a while.

"Well... I came back once in May, and it's been several months." Wen Qi was thinking, her eyes still looking out of the window. "Hey, look there, my alma mater!"

Wen Qi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, pointing to SH County not far away, and said with a smile.

Xu Wen looked in the direction Wen Qi pointed.

Because it was class time, the school gates were closed.

Outside the gate, a line of big characters of SH County No. [-] Middle School is very conspicuous.

The security booth at the entrance can vaguely see the security guards on duty, and several visitors to the school are filling in the information in the security booth.

"This is also a key high school in our county!" Wen Qi was a little proud of her alma mater.

"After graduating, I always had an idea that I wanted to go back to my alma mater. I had imagined that I would definitely come to my alma mater to take wedding photos in the future!"

Wen Qi smiled, and Xu Wen read the word "beautiful" from her eyes.

The usual practice is to take this opportunity to make a promise, and the coaxed girl will be elated.

Xu Wen just smiled and didn't speak.

He has never bothered to make up promises that cannot be fulfilled.

At least for now, he doesn't want to be tied to a relationship, and the days are still long, so it's best not to define his life prematurely.

When Wen Qi smiled, her eyes were vaguely concerned with Xu Wen's reaction.

When she saw Xu Wen passing by with a smile, although Wen Qi's smile didn't change, there was still a sigh in her eyes, but Xu Wen didn't notice it.

In the car, Wen Qi rarely talked about her family.

Her father was also mentioned.

Although the lines between the lines seemed to be talking about a stranger, but that kind of relationship was engraved in the soul after all.

In the early years, Wen Qi's father was still a bit tossed about.

Open a store to recycle gold, open a barber shop, dare to venture and fight.

It can be said that when Wen Qi was young, the family was indeed rich for a period of time, not to mention how rich, but at least at that time it was superior to many working-class people.

Later, her dad was still bloated after all.

The details in this matter have been going on for a long time, and Wen Qi can't explain many details clearly. Most of the details come from her mother's few words.

She only vaguely remembered that her father once claimed that he had been tricked by someone and owed him a huge debt.

At that time, on the grounds of avoiding debts, she wanted to divorce Wen Qi's mother, threatening to do it for the good of the family.

In this way, divorced.

Wen Qi's mother found that she had inexplicably owed a lot of debts. Even the house in her family was pledged. Up to now, she only has the right of residence and no right to buy or sell.

Wen Qi's father wiped out all the family's savings over the years, not even a dime left.

From a wealthy family to having nothing in one night, it can be regarded as a serious ups and downs.

Wen Qi's mother owed debts and could not repay them, and was listed as a dishonest person. To this day, the bank card used by her mother is still processed in the name of her aunt.

Wen Qi's father took Wen Qi's younger brother away from home and disappeared without a trace. Over the years, he has never seen anyone, as if the world had evaporated.

It wasn't until these years that Wen Qi's mother gradually got a taste of it.

Was the original debt owed by him deliberately before the divorce, and before he finally disappeared, he cheated Wen Qi's mother, and he disappeared since then.

There is no way, although I can't find others, but life has to go on.

While working hard to earn money, she brought Wen Qi up, while constantly inquiring about Wen Qi's younger brother, hoping to reunite mother and child one day.

"My mother has finally paid off her debts over the years, but my mother has not dared to rest at all. This year, she even started to try to make salted goose, and she plans to send it to restaurants, but she doesn't know how the market will be."

Wen Qi sighed quietly.

"Although she didn't say it, I know she has been thinking about my brother in her heart, and thinking about earning more points is always good."

Xu Wen listened silently, not knowing that the situation in Wen Qi's family was quite complicated.

For someone like his father, who cheated his whole family and made his wife and daughter suffer from it all these years, he can be regarded as a scumbag who has come out of his realm.

"Have you heard nothing about your brother all these years?" Xu Wen asked, actually curious.

"No, maybe there is, but my mother never told me." Wen Qi shook her head, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Seeing Wen Qi getting depressed, Xu Wen patted the back of Wen Qi's hand lightly while waiting for the traffic lights.

"Think about it in a good direction. Maybe your younger brother has been admitted to a good university and made a good girlfriend. Everything is going on the positive side?"

"Then my mother will be very happy if she knows this!" Wen Qi couldn't help smiling, then sighed.

"Actually, I just want my mother to be happier and not to be so tense."

As a last resort!Xu Wen knew very well that such a woman had to support her family and pay off her debts slowly, wouldn't she be tired?Can you keep your heart tight?
Fortunately, everything is improving, the debt is almost paid off, Wen Qi can now be considered self-reliant, and her mother's stewed vegetable stall seems to be slowly getting on the right track.

Wen Qi calmed down her mood and smiled.

"Actually, my mother is very happy today. I haven't heard her smile like that for a long time."

Xu Wen blinked.

So happy, besides being able to see my daughter again, what else...?
Looking at the navigation, Wen Qi's home seems to be getting closer.

"Go straight ahead for 500 meters and arrive at your destination."

Navigation tips.

Xu Wen turned the direction and drove for a while, and what came into view was a very old community.

In this kind of elderly community, the floors are not high, and the structure is still a brick-concrete structure.

As for property.

Xu Wen looked at the empty guard box, and thought that the property in this kind of community would probably only be used for cleaning and transporting garbage.

This kind of old community is neglected in management, and many things have to be done by each household.

In Dongfang New Village.

On the false second floor of a small five-story building in the southeast corner, the door was open.

The house is busy and lively.

Shen Man is wearing an apron, busy in the kitchen. Today, she has used her housekeeping skills and cooked a table of delicious dishes, preparing to entertain her daughter Wen Qi who returned from Haicheng, and, um...

According to Wen Qi, it was a boy who came back with her.

As for the relationship, Shen Man asked, but Wen Qi didn't give any details, so she didn't give a letter.

But it doesn't matter, isn't this kind of thing obvious?Even if Wen Qi didn't say anything, Shen Man's heart was like a mirror, understanding everything.

Naturally, Shen Man didn't continue to ask any more questions, as if he had tacitly agreed, and got ready.

Besides her, there were her younger sister and her eldest brother, Wen Qi's aunt and uncle, in the room.

"Shen Wen, help me pick off the vegetables." Shen Man was busy cooking, and said to her younger sister, Shen Wen, who was busy setting the tablecloths with her elder brother.
