Universal System: Return of the Prodigal

Chapter 106 Xiaoliu's Dilemma

Chapter 117 Xiaoliu's Dilemma

Seeing his loyalty, Zhang Kang was speechless.

"Okay, you treat me, that's fine."

Only then did Zhou Xiaoliu take a bold step forward: "Haha, this is my good brother."

Ever since, the three of them chatted while walking towards Chaotianmen Antique Street.

Zhang Kang: "Xiao Liu, is there something wrong at home?"

A cloud of sadness suddenly appeared on Zhou Xiaoliu's face.

But it was quickly covered up by his understatement.

"Haha, what could happen to my family? I'm thinking about life. Don't think too much. Eat and drink well today."

Zhang Kang frowned and said, "Is it really all right?"

Zhou Xiaoliu replied carelessly: "Hey, hey, how did you become a mother-in-law after a few days of seeing each other, or are you a man? It's really long-winded."

Seeing him like this, Zhang Kang frowned even deeper.

He knew the personality of this fat brother very well, and he had loved to show off since he was a child.

But he is extremely righteous, no matter who it is, as long as he has it, he will not hesitate to lend a hand to help.

When Yuan Li was hospitalized, Zhang Kang was desperate, and only this fat brother extended a helping hand.

Later, he borrowed too much, and he was embarrassed to borrow again.

And he didn't expect Zhou Xiaoliu to have fallen to the point of setting up a street stall.

"Let's go, Xinghua Village is here, hurry up, what are you doing?"

While talking, several people came to the famous Xinghua Village Restaurant in Wudu.

Smelling the tempting aroma of vegetables, Zhang Kang and Mingyue suddenly felt hungry.

Ever since, the three of them strode into Xinghua Village.

Find a table by the window and sit down.

Zhou Dapang immediately asked the waiter to order.

After a while, a sumptuous hot pot feast was ready.

Ever since, the three chatted freely while gobbling.

"Come on, Lao Kang, Mingyue, let's go."

"cheers!"

"Ding!"

Served with beer and food.

Soon the three of them had a full stomach.

"Beep beep..."

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoliu's phone vibrated crazily.

"Excuse me, I'll take a call."

Seeing the incoming call, Zhou Xiaoliu took the phone and walked aside.

A few minutes later, he walked back.

Zhang Kang saw heavy sorrow in his eyes.

"Xiao Liu, did something happen to you? Tell brother, let's find a solution together."

Zhou Xiaoliu was careless as always.

"Hey, it's all trivial things, not worth talking about."

"It's not easy for us brothers to get together once. Don't deal with the unpleasant things and come and do something."

As he spoke, he raised the draft beer boldly.

"Ding!"

Zhang Kang touched him lightly.

"Grumble!"

Then I saw Fatty Zhou tilted his neck and poured a large draft of beer into his stomach.

"Come on, come on, one more."

After Zhou Xiaoliu killed Dazha, he went full again, and without looking at Zhang Kang, he tilted his neck and did it again.

Zhang Kang had to accompany him.

Seeing this, Mingyue wanted to persuade her, but Zhang Kang stopped her with a look.

He knew Zhou Xiaoliu's personality and would only tell the truth when he was drunk.

Ever since, the two of them started drinking together.

It wasn't until the two of them finished off a whole barrel of draft beer that Zhou Xiaoliu became drunk.

"Xiao Liu, do you still consider me a brother?"

Seeing that the time was right, Zhang Kang couldn't help but start talking.

Zhou Xiaoliu slapped his chest excitedly.

"What are you talking about, Lao Kang, you will always be my brother, the best and the strongest brother."

Zhang Kang nodded and said sincerely, "Then why didn't you tell the truth just now?"

Zhou Xiaoliu's eyes were suddenly covered with panic.

"Why didn't you tell the truth, don't scare me."

Zhang Kang didn't give him a chance to breathe.

"Don't think I can't hear you. I heard the phone call just now. I'm urging you to repay the loan, right?"

After hearing what he said, Zhou Xiaoliu instantly fainted.

"Nothing can be hidden from you."

"That's right, it was really a collection call from the loan company just now, but it's all a small problem."

"I can solve it. Today we just drink and don't talk about it."

Mingyue put down her chopsticks when she heard this.

"Brother Fat, you can't say that. The loan company's interest rate is very high. If you can pay it back as soon as possible, otherwise the interest rate will become astronomical in the end."

Zhang Kang also nodded: "We are brothers, how much we owe, I will pay it for you."

Zhou Xiaoliu was taken aback, and he shook his head violently after a while.

"I don't know about others, but you and I don't know yet. My aunt is seriously ill and needs a lot of money. I accept your kindness. Besides, I can pay off the money soon. There is really no need to worry about me."

When Zhang Kang and Mingyue were about to continue persuading.

Zhou Xiaoliu's phone vibrated crazily again.

Seeing the caller ID, Zhou Xiaoliu did not answer this time, but hung up decisively.

However, before he could take a breath, the phone vibrated again.

"Take it, tell them the money will be paid back immediately, and don't harass them."

Zhou Xiaoliu had no choice but to answer the phone.

After a phone call, Zhou Xiaoliu didn't show any joy on his face.

Zhang Kang was very surprised, he could hear the phone call clearly.

I said it was paid off in one lump sum, why is Zhou Xiaoliu still frowning?

"Fat brother, what's the matter, is there another problem?"

Mingyue saw some clues.

Zhang Kang: "What's the big deal, don't be a bitch, treat me as a brother and tell me the truth."

Zhou Xiaoliu looked at Mingyue and then at Zhang Kang.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and told his dilemma.

It turned out that when he knew that Zhang Kang was borrowing money for his mother.

Zhou Xiaoliu decided to help him.

Ever since, he bought his precious Chery to support Zhang Kang.

Then he bought his own canteen.

In the end, I found a loan company to borrow usury.

For this reason, his family, who were not rich at first, became destitute in an instant.

The livelihood of the family suddenly became difficult.

As a last resort, Zhou Xiaoliu set up street stalls everywhere.

This swing is half a year.

You can earn some money by setting up a street stall.

It can only maintain the expenses of the family.

Therefore, the borrowed usury interest has reached an astonishing number.

Hearing his narration, the eyes of Zhang Kang and Mingyue were filled with tears.

"Xiao Liu, good job."

"I didn't expect you to help me with everything you have."

"You and Lao Jiu are my best brothers."

"From now on, if there is me, there will be you, and your debt is my debt, so I will pay back the money."

Mingyue also echoed: "Brother Fatty, Brother Kang can definitely help you."

Zhou Xiaoliu shook his head and said, "I accept the kindness, and it is my business to pay back the money."

"Besides, my aunt still needs a lot of money to be hospitalized, so I'll take it with me."

Mingyue didn't wait for Zhang Kang to speak, and said first: "Mother Yuan has been discharged from the hospital a long time ago, and she is in good health."

Zhou Xiaoliu stared at Zhang Kang doubtfully: "Old Kang, is this true?"

"Isn't it stomach cancer? How could it be so fast?"

Zhang Kang replied with a smile: "It's not stomach cancer, it's a misdiagnosis by the hospital, it's just a serious gastric ulcer."

Zhou Xiaoliu suddenly showed joy: "So that's the case, now I feel relieved."

Zhang Kang: "Are you willing to accept my help now?"

Zhou Xiaoliu: "Yes, but do you know how much I owe?"

Zhang Kang: "No matter how much money it is, I can pay it back. Open the QR code on the phone and transfer the money to you immediately."

Zhou Xiaoliu stared at Zhang Kang in astonishment: "Brother, I owe 50, do you really have that much?"

"50?"

Zhang Kang was stunned, he thought it was 500 million.

But Zhou Xiaoliu misunderstood: "Let me tell you. It's not that I don't understand your situation. Forget it, I'll do it myself."

"What are you talking about, quickly open the QR code, it's really long-winded."

Zhou Xiaoliu opened the payment QR code on his mobile phone in doubt.

"Ding!"

"Alipay received [-] million."

Hearing the notification sound, Zhou Xiaoliu suddenly trembled with fear.

"Oh mom, my mother too."

"One hundred million...this...Lao Kang!"
