"This unfilial son, he’s going to be the death of me, the death of me!" Jiang Youlin clutched his chest, looking like he couldn’t take it anymore.
Yang Yu immediately gave his chest two massages to activate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis, and he finally caught his breath.
Teacher Ding was sobbing uncontrollably, stammering, not knowing what to say.
"Alas, the heart of parents in the world is indeed pitiful!" Yang Yu sighed quietly and said gently to the two old folks, "Mr. Jiang, Teacher Ding, I’ve already helped you buy back your old house. If you have money, you can buy it back, and if you don’t, just live in it. I won’t charge you rent, live as long as you want."
Teacher Ding understood Yang Yu’s meaning and also sighed deeply: "I didn’t expect that after teaching and nurturing people for a lifetime, I taught good students but didn’t teach a good son, it’s shameful!"
"This Xiao Jiang has been too protected by you, he hasn’t suffered enough in society," Yang Yu laughed, "Just watch, reality will teach him how to be a person."
Yang Yu had already sent someone to keep an eye on Jiang Yuzhen; Jiang Yuzhen’s every move couldn’t escape Yang Yu’s eyes.
Jiang Yuzhen didn’t know this. At this moment, he was in a very gloomy mood and went straight to his girlfriend Zhu Jiajia’s home: "Jiajia, my parents found out that I let your brother have the house. They can’t accept it and want me to get the house back."
Zhu Jiajia frowned, "Did you agree?"
"No way, how could I?" Jiang Yuzhen shook his head repeatedly, "It’s just that after my parents found out about this, they no longer want to give us that three hundred thousand dowry."
"Without that three hundred thousand dowry, how can my brother get married?" Zhu Jiajia’s face immediately changed, "Jiang Yuzhen, if you can’t gather three hundred thousand dowries within a week, I’ll find someone else. There are plenty of people willing to pay this three hundred thousand dowry!"
Jiang Yuzhen’s face changed dramatically, "Jiajia, where can I gather this three hundred thousand in such a short time? Besides, we have a child together, how can you still think about finding someone else?"
"Hehe, it’s just a child," Zhu Jiajia sneered twice, "Go to the hospital to get rid of it, won’t it be gone then?"
"You!" Jiang Yuzhen shook with anger, "After everything I’ve done for you, you can say such heartless words!"
Zhu Jiajia calmed down and started comforting Jiang Yuzhen: "Yuzhen, you know my family’s situation. If my brother doesn’t have my help, this marriage won’t happen. I’m very grateful to you, we even have a child together, you can’t stop at the last step, right?"
Seeing Jiang Yuzhen somewhat wavering, Zhu Jiajia quickly pressed the advantage: "You have a formal job, borrowing three hundred thousand from online loans isn’t hard, right?"
"Online loans?" Jiang Yuzhen was a bit scared, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to pay it back..."
Zhu Jiajia continued to persuade: "You earn nearly twenty thousand a month, thirty thousand is just a matter of a year and a half, what are you afraid of?"
Jiang Yuzhen hesitated, showing a difficult expression, "You don’t know, your monthly expenses are over ten thousand, the remaining money is just barely enough for my normal expenses..."
"Okay, okay, I’ll save from now on," Zhu Jiajia said, "Now, dear, can you go for the online loan?"
"Okay." Jiang Yuzhen held Zhu Jiajia’s hand, face full of tenderness, "I’ll go borrow it right now."
Half an hour later, Jiang Yuzhen arrived at Yang Yu’s Yang’s Financial Company, and a business manager received him.
After looking into Jiang Yuzhen’s basic situation, the manager smiled slightly, "Mr. Jiang, don’t you have anything you can use as collateral? For example, a house? Oh right, you actually don’t have anything to use as collateral, and it seems you have a fixed monthly deduction here, a mortgage? Hmm? Where’s the mortgage coming from without a house?"
Jiang Yuzhen was a bit embarrassed and quickly said, "That’s for my brother-in-law’s loan repayment, rest assured, if I can repay his mortgage, why would you worry I can’t repay this thirty thousand?"
"We’re not worried, just without collateral, the limit can’t be that high!" the manager said, "Otherwise, let me introduce you to a friend, his place doesn’t require collateral for loans, but the interest is relatively high, you understand..."
Jiang Yuzhen hesitated for a long time before nodding heavily, "Okay, give me the phone number."
Another half an hour passed, and Jiang Yuzhen finally got the three hundred thousand, but he wasn’t happy at all.
The interest on this three hundred thousand is five percent, and the interest alone is fifteen thousand a month.
He earns twenty thousand a month, but with having to pay fifteen thousand in interest plus the mortgage, he can hardly keep up.
Before, his parents promised to share half of the mortgage, but now...
"I refuse to believe that I won’t amount to anything without my parents!" He was filled with defiance as he thought of his father’s threat to sever the father-son relationship.
He had to show his parents that even without them, he could still be the master of his household!
Gathering his thoughts, Jiang Yuzhen, brimming with confidence, returned to Zhu Jiajia’s home with the thirty thousand in cash.
Seeing Jiang Yuzhen carrying a black bag, Zhu Jiajia’s eyes lit up, "Did you borrow it? Quick, give it to me!"
Zhu Jiajia eagerly snatched the black bag from Jiang Yuzhen’s hand and indeed saw thirty stacks of hundred yuan bills inside, making her excited: "Mom, my brother’s dowry money is ready!"
"Really?" A fifty-something woman ran out of the room, followed by a young man about the same age as Jiang Yuzhen, who were Mrs. Zhu and her son Zhu Xiao.
Zhu Xiao was also ecstatic, "Mom, now I can go talk about the marriage with Li Li, haha."
"Um... Mom," Jiang Yuzhen said cautiously, "Since I’ve already prepared the house and dowry, can’t Jiajia and I get married?"
"Married? Of course," Mrs. Zhu said with a forced smile, "But you just spent so much money, so how could there be any left for a banquet? Let’s talk when there’s money for the wedding banquet!"
Jiang Yuzhen grew anxious, "Mom, we can fill in the banquet when there’s money, we can get the marriage certificate first! Jiajia is about to give birth, surely we can’t leave the father’s name blank when our child is born?"
"That’s true," Mrs. Zhu nodded, "Jiajia, go and get the marriage certificate with Yuzhen this afternoon!"
"Wait," Zhu Jiajia suddenly looked at Jiang Yuzhen full of doubt, "Yuzhen, I told you to get an online loan, why is it cash?"
"Well..." Jiang Yuzhen was a bit uneasy, "I couldn’t get the thirty thousand from official online loans as I had nothing to mortgage. So, I turned to private loans."
"What private loan? Isn’t that a high-interest loan?" Zhu Jiajia’s eyes widened, "I told you to get an official online loan, but you got a high-interest loan instead? Doesn’t that mean once we get the marriage certificate, I’ll have to help pay off this debt too?"
