Chapter Thirty-Six: Repaying Debts Requires Playing Mahjong

  Hearing the sound of the gate, Li Yao suddenly raised her head to see Su Ya standing behind the door with a young man. The clothes in her hand fell into the washing basin with a rustling sound, and the splashed laundry detergent water spilled onto her sleeves, but she didn't notice at all.

  "Silly girl, didn't I tell you to go far away? Waaah! Now how am I supposed to live?! Li Yao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly rushed over like a madwoman and hugged Su Ya, bursting into tears."

  Li Yao rushed over and stepped on the large plastic basin, crushing it. The clothes and water inside spilled all over the floor.

  "Madwoman! My clothes are Adidas, if you ruin them, I'll deduct 5,000 yuan from your salary!" Zhang Datou shouted angrily while playing mahjong.

  This sentence awakened Li Yao from her confusion, she let go of Su Ya and turned around to shout loudly: "Wu wu, Zhang Datou, I'll pay my debt! If you're a man of your word, let my daughter go!"

  Zhang's head is super big, just like a big winter melon. He has a broom-like eyebrow, garlic-shaped nose, toad-like mouth, and paired with a belly like Maitreya Buddha, the whole person is a small pile of meat mountain.

  Zhang Datou was now excited, and he pushed down the mahjong tiles that were laid out in front of him. He angrily said: "This is really frustrating, I'm not playing anymore!"

  He slowly got up and swayed to the door, saying: "I'm telling you, Li Yao, having more frogs can add up to four ounces of strength, having more people is a good thing, even washing clothes can be faster, brothers say isn't that right!"

  "Hahaha!" A group of young people with bare arms stood up and shouted loudly in the house.

  What a pretty little girl! Zhang's mouth watered at the corner. He stared foolishly at Su Ya, thinking that if this little girl was willing to warm his bed, it would be great, and he would be willing to charge them less interest.

  "Mom, let me introduce you to this person. His name is Li Yang, he's my... boyfriend. He's willing to lend us money to pay off our debts. Don't cry anymore, the Su family will be saved." Su Ya whispered tearfully to Li Yao.

  "Boyfriend? Xiaoya, your father owes too much money outside, at least 1 billion yuan already, does he have that much money?" Li Yao stopped crying and asked in a low voice.

  Su Ya, in order to make her mother feel at ease, calmly told her that he was her boyfriend.

  She thought to herself that now Ling Feng and Hei Pi must have spread the news of her losing her virginity to Li Yang, so if he wasn't her boyfriend then what was he?

  This matter is what Li Yao cares about the most, Su Ya furrowed her brow and said: "I don't know how much money Lei Yang has, but previously he casually took out more than 600 kilograms of gold to repay the company's debt of nearly 200 million yuan in principal and interest, and also said that the 800 million is just a small amount of rain, so he should be rich."

  Li Yao suddenly looked gloomy and said, "Daughter, did you make some sacrifices to let him take the money? These spendthrifts who squander money like dirt are not good things."

  Su Ya's beautiful big eyes stared and said: "Mom, where did you think of going? I just met him last night, although I don't know much about him, but I feel that he is a chivalrous and righteous person, definitely not what you think."

  "What? He's just met us and he's willing to lend us so much money, are you sure he's not crazy?"

  Li Yang glanced at Li Yao and her mother whispering to each other, and walked into the house with a smile on his face. He approached Zhang Dahu, who was staring blankly with a mischievous grin, and said: "Are you in charge here? I want to help the Su family repay their debt. Should we use online banking or go to the bank counter to transfer the money? You decide."

  Zhang Daitou was taken aback, with a hint of doubt, and said: "Do you know how much the Su family owes me? Including principal and interest, it's as much as 800 million! Can you afford to pay it back?"

  "Eight hundred million is a small matter, let's get down to business. I'm busy today, so let's make it quick. You're not going to stand here all day, are you? Don't you want to take the money and live a carefree life?"

  Zhang Datou, despite his distrustful face, still had hope of recovering these debts that were basically yellowed, and he excitedly lit up with a sparkle in his eyes, exclaiming: "Online banking transfers can't exceed 5 million per day, of course we'll go to the bank counter for the transfer. I see you're clean and innocent-looking, but don't even think about cheating me! If you dare cheat me out of my hard-earned money, be careful that a few of us won't sell you off to become a duck!"

  Li Yang's face sank and he calmly said: "Alright, mine is an ICBC card. Let's go to the Industrial Bank for the transaction."

  "Don't panic, kid. I'm the kind of master who doesn't release the hawk without seeing the rabbit. At least you have to prove to me that you have this much money first." Zhang Dashou was excited but remained calm and composed.

  It's easy to prove that I have so much money. Li Yang took out his tattered Nokia phone and sent a text message to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). He immediately received a response: "Dear valued customer, welcome to use ICBC's SMS inquiry service. Your account balance is: 68,37400,0000.00 yuan."

  Li Yang took a look at the number and smiled slightly before handing the phone over to Zhang Datou.

  "Look at this broken phone, it's obvious you're a rich boss. How can a rich person use such a crappy thing!" Zhang Taitou took over the phone from Li Yang and scolded.

  His eyes widened as he read the message on Li Yang's phone!

  "Damn! This... this is how much?! Six billion eight hundred million...! You little brat actually has six billion eight hundred million in cash! I... I... I've lived so long, and I've never seen so much money before! Brothers, our god of wealth has arrived, everyone quickly give him a chair!"

  This sentence was like a stone that shocked the sky, and it made all the people in the house jump with fright!

  Zhang Tietou and his brothers, one by one, were stirred up like a shot of adrenaline, hastily arranging Zhang Tietou's rattan chair throne for Li Yang to sit on. These people surrounded Li Yang in a star-studded manner, each with a smiling face, fanning him with fans and serving tea, if not for Li Yang's disapproval, they would have even massaged his legs and shoulders.

  Li Yao pulled Su Ya, who had a surprised look on her face, to stand in front of Li Yang and exclaimed: "Li Yang, how do you have so much liquid capital? You should know that I'm aware of all the major cash flows in Southeast City. Just last month, Nanfeng Group took out over 6 billion to buy precious metals, and Wang Dehou's real estate company borrowed 2 billion. Although I, Li Yao, may be down on my luck, I still have connections in Southeast City. How come I've never heard of you before?"

  Li Yang stared at the woman who was watching the sunset, smiling and saying: "Auntie is indeed extraordinary, you know such a secretive thing about Nanfeng Group. To be honest with you, the batch of precious metals that Lingnan bought from Nanfeng Group belongs to me, I spent over 200 million yuan just on taxes for this deal. So, you don't have any doubts about my funds now, do you?"

  Li Yao's face lit up with surprise: "So to say, you have a deep connection with the mysterious Lei family's colored metal smelting company of Nanfeng Group?"

  "Haha, I've made Aunt laugh, this company was founded by me, your nephew."

  Li Yao's gloomy expression vanished, and she couldn't help but shed a few more tears. She turned around and pulled Su Ya, who was equally shocked, towards her. Nodding at Li Yang, she said: "Alright, alright! Li Yang, you're so young yet have such impressive achievements, truly worthy of being called young and promising. You're suitable for my family's Ya Er! From now on, I'll leave Ya Er in your care. You must treat her well!"

  Li Yang was a bit stunned. Although he had some unseemly thoughts about Su Ya, they had only known each other for less than a day and now she wanted to entrust her life to him?

  Su Ya's face suddenly turned red with shame, and she pulled Li Yao's arm around, saying: "Mom, if you say that again, I won't talk to you!"

  Li Yao ignored her daughter's entanglement, went forward and pulled Lei Yang to look left and right, making Lei Yang feel embarrassed but not giving up. As the saying goes, "a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law is more and more satisfied", which is the current situation.

  Zhang Datou saw Lei Yang's identity and was about to call out, unexpectedly he was the manager of a company under Nanfeng Group, so he felt even more at ease with his payment ability.

  He borrowed the 400 million high-interest loan to Su's family, which was not his money, but from the manager of Longteng Group behind him. If Su's family went bankrupt and couldn't pay back this debt, he would also be in trouble.

  Now that he thinks about it, this single business not only can smoothly recover the principal, but also make a huge profit of 400 million, his already red nose is now even redder!

  Now walking on the road with toes touching the ground, just like riding clouds and fog, came to Li Yao's face and said: "Manager Li, I have been rude for a while, please forgive me.

  "This time you're lucky, it's all like this, and your daughter can still catch a golden turtle son-in-law back! If this kid helps you pay off the debt, not only will he save the Su family, but also save me from being beheaded. As long as I get this money today, we'll turn our animosity into friendship and live in harmony. Don't delay, let's not do anything else this afternoon, just go to the bank and transfer the funds."

  Li Yao turned around, her face darkening as she said, "Hmph! Zhang Datou, if I get the chance, I'll make you taste what it's like to only eat two mantou every day and still have to work non-stop!"

  Li Yang looked at Li Yao, who still had a lingering anger, and said in a soft voice: "Auntie, let bygones be bygones. Let's go to the bank and settle the debt right now. Zhang, you hurry up and move out of this house with your people. Auntie has been disturbed by you for quite some time, you don't need to apologize, just leave quickly."

  Zhang Datou was about to agree, when the big golden tooth whispered something in his ear. His body trembled and a sly smile appeared on his face. He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Li Yang and said: "Little brother, do you know how to play mahjong? Today is a fine day, as people say, it's better to meet by chance than to make an appointment. Why don't we play a few rounds of mahjong before going to the bank?"

  Li Yang shook his head and said, "Uncle, I'm still a student, I don't know how to play mahjong. Let's hurry up and go to the bank to get things done, as the saying goes 'the night is long and dreams are many', aren't you afraid that I'll change my mind?"

  "Hey, don't worry! The Nanfeng Group's big shot will definitely be able to come up with this amount of money. Don't call me uncle, I'm only 42 years old, at most you can call me big brother! I've taken a liking to you little bro, we have to play at least two rounds of mahjong."
