I am financially free

Chapter 8, Old Liu
Jiang Chen returned home and made two simple dishes for himself, not forgetting to cook a pot of porridge.

Now he will not treat himself badly. The large refrigerator has fruits, vegetables, drinks, and steaks.

While eating, his cell phone rang. Jiang Chen took a look and answered the call.

"Brother Liu, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Jiang, are you busy?"

"Brother Liu, I live alone. If anything happens, just tell me."

This made Jiang Chen sure that something must have happened with Brother Liu. This should be the reason why Brother Liu got off work early.

"Xiao Jiang, this may be a bit abrupt, but I really have nothing to do. Can I borrow some money from you?"

Brother Liu's voice came from the microphone, a little panicked and confused. Brother Liu is usually a relatively stable person. The reason for this is that he must have encountered a problem that he cannot solve.

Jiang Chen: "Brother Liu, don't worry. Just tell me what happened and how much you need. As long as I can get it, I will definitely help."

"Oh, it's because you're not my sister-in-law. A few days ago, their company organized a physical examination for employees, and some problems were found. The doctor informed me that surgery needs to be done as soon as possible. I still have more than 3 yuan in hand, but there is still money left. A gap of more than [-]..."

There is only one disease in people, and that is the disease of poverty.Car loans, housing loans, and the elderly at home suffered a cerebral thrombosis and had surgery a few days ago, which consumed the couple's savings. They bought medical insurance, but the subsidies were still far from enough. If it weren't for the desperate situation, how could Lao Liu do it? Opening your mouth to your juniors?
I just learned from my colleagues a few days ago that Jiang Chen drives a million-dollar luxury car to work. In addition, the two of them don't get along with each other normally. After many times of hesitation, Old Liu... then...

Hearing Jiang Chen's immediate agreement, Brother Liu's tone softened slightly, and then he told what happened.

"You can borrow as much as you can, and I'll make up the difference. I'll write you an IOU later, and the interest will be calculated as you want!"

"Okay, I have the money. Brother Liu, please don't talk to anyone else. But let's make an agreement first. You can borrow the money, but I don't want the interest. Just treat me to a meal later. I'll transfer it to you later. past."

Brother Liu has a pretty good character and is indeed a down-to-earth person. Jiang Chen didn't think much about it and transferred the bar money to him.

Although Jiang Chen said verbally that he would not want interest, he knew that in the end he would still have to pay him interest.

In addition, he usually takes good care of him, but this time he also encountered an emergency, so he was willing to borrow the money.

The so-called rescue of emergencies does not help the poor.

……

In the corridor of the hospital ward, Liu Zhen sat on the ground and looked at the payment records on his mobile phone, and silently replied to Jiang Chen with a thank you.

Sometimes the hero is stumped by a penny. As he is not a local, the only people he can think of now are two colleagues with whom he usually has a good relationship.

Liu Zhen was very grateful for this and thought about repaying the favor in the future.

He got up and went to the toll room, paid the required fees, and got back a lot of receipts, which he folded and put into his pocket.

When he returned to the ward, looking at his pale wife lying on the bed, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand.

"The doctor said that I will have an operation tomorrow. I will be discharged from the hospital a week after the operation. I will just rest for a while after that."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work. I must have borrowed a lot of money."

"Get well soon, your health is more important than anything else, and I'm here!"

Liu Zhen was silent for a moment and rubbed his wife's hair.

"Well, we will work hard in the future to pay back the money as soon as possible. In addition, there are others who helped us. We must remember this favor."

Listening to his wife's soft voice made Liu Zhen feel a little uncomfortable, feeling that he owed her too much.

"I'm sorry, wife, I'm so useless."

"We have been together for so many years, and we still talk about doing these things. We just work hard together. I believe our lives will get better and better."

"it is good."

The two hands were clasped together tightly.

……

When I saw Brother Liu at work again, it was already the Monday of the second week. During this period, Jiang Chen called Sister Wang to come with him. The two of them brought some supplements and went to the hospital to visit Sister Liu.

Brother Liu looked much more relaxed. As soon as he saw Jiang Chen, he handed over the IOU he had prepared in advance.

Brother Liu looked at Jiang Chen with a grateful expression:
"Xiao Jiang, I won't thank you enough for your kindness. I will find a way to repay the money as soon as possible. You should keep the IOU first."

"No, Brother Liu, let me tell you, you can pay it back when you have it. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to use the money. You can just treat me to two more meals later."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand, took the IOU without refusing, and put it into his pocket.

After all, Brother Liu is a real person. If he doesn't even accept the IOU, he will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"That's right, he's not in a hurry. Why are you so anxious? I've never heard of a situation where someone who borrows money is not in a hurry, but someone who owes money is in a hurry to pay it back. Besides, a rich man like him would do this to you. ." Sister Wang took the words.

"Sister Wang, don't say that, I'm just an ordinary person." Jiang Chen chuckled.

"Huh, ordinary people? Can ordinary people drive a car worth 200 million to get to get off work? Can they wear items worth millions?"

Sister Wang stared at Jiang Chen's wrist and curled her lips, making Jiang Chen scratch his head. "..."

"Look, aren't these rich people immoral? They have nothing to do, but they are here to compete for jobs with ordinary people like us."

Sister Wang was in high spirits and continued to expose his background. It looked like she was not going to stop.

"Stop! Stop! Sister Wang, just forget that I'm afraid of you."

Frightened by Sister Wang's attitude, Jiang Chen quickly raised his hands to apologize, and then the matter was settled.

"Ruifuyuan will treat you two to dinner tonight. Xiao Wang calls on your family to come with us."

Brother Liu finally decided to get together tonight.

The restaurant that Brother Liu mentioned is undoubtedly one of the best local restaurants in Linhai.

Its history is not long, and it cannot be compared with some other long-established restaurants.

But the taste is good and the consumption is moderate. It can be regarded as a restaurant with good reputation and economical value.

The entrance looks quite inconspicuous, but when we entered, the restaurant was already crowded.

Sister Wang's name is Wang Jie, and her husband's surname is Lu, a doctor at a hospital in Linhai. He is a tall man from Shandong Province who is 180 centimeters tall and weighs 180 pounds.

"Brother Lu, you don't know, your wife always bullies me at work."

While chatting, Jiang Chen began to complain, and Brother Lu rolled his eyes.

"Hurry up and find a partner, and then let your girlfriend bully you back."

"..." Jiang Chen was a little speechless. These two people are really not one family but don't belong to the same family. This family is really inappropriate. "

"I don't know what you think, asking me to control her? It makes it seem like she won't bully me."

"Did you hear that, Xiao Jiang, you still said that I can't make the decision at home?" Sister Wang looked proud.

Brother Lu was very talkative, and his ability to drink was not that good. He drank so much that Jiang Chen doubted his life.

……

Dreams without beautiful women always have some shortcomings. The biological clock woke Jiang Chen up.

It's another weekend, living alone in a big house, always feeling like something is missing. It's a kind of loneliness that ordinary people can't experience.

Strictly speaking, it should be a kind of loneliness that only idle people can feel. After hearing this feeling, the first reaction of the working people will definitely be: "Bah, you bitch is pretentious."

The so-called feeling of being full, warm and lustful gradually emerged in Jiang Chen's mind, a beautiful face and eyes like crescent moons when smiling, as well as the sweetness that exuded that was still fresh in his memory.

He thought for a while, picked up his phone and sent a message, still feeling a little expectant.

"Do you have time? Let's watch a movie together tonight? There's a new movie that was recently released with good reviews."

"Ding dong."

Not long after, Jiang Chen received a reply.

"Is this a date? If so, I can consider it."

"...It definitely counts, thank you beauty for the compliment."

After seeing the reply, Jiang Chen calmed down and thought to himself that although Lao Jiang may be a bit straight-forward sometimes, having a low EQ does not mean he has a low IQ.

After seeing Chen Yuwei's reply, I knew that she probably felt pretty good about him, otherwise she wouldn't have replied like this. It seemed like she was going to take the initiative.

The two chatted word by word. Chen Yuwei, who was lying on the bed, looked at her mobile phone. From time to time, she could hear giggles like "hehe", which made her roommate so angry that she picked up a pillow and threw it at her.

"It's Sunday, Chen Yuwei, are you going to let people sleep in?"

"You didn't even turn on the lights, but you still turned on your phone and pointed it at your stupid face. Oh my god, it scared me. Are you sure you're not filming a horror movie?"

"Who makes you two so lazy? Look what time it is." Chen Yuwei felt a little guilty, but she still insisted on arguing with her best friend.

"Hey, if you act like this, I won't be able to sleep. Bring me your phone and let me see it."

As she said this, her best friend tried to grab Chen Yuwei's cell phone, but she dodged it.

"You two are going to die!"

"Are you afraid that that man has seduced you?"

"Haha, I saw it. She is getting ready to go on a date."

"You two get out of here~"
