Chapter 35 Give Me A Reason

  After Yang Qing left, the atmosphere in the room cooled down and no one spoke again.

  Everyone present knows that Yang Qing's attitude was so bad just now, because when Yang Qing's father was hospitalized, Gao Qiufeng and his family did not step into the hospital at all, which made the relationship between the two families almost drop to freezing point.

  "Sister, we also know that not going to the hospital to see De Shui was wrong at first. I'll take Autumn Wind to apologize later. Can you help us explain the situation? Autumn Wind was confused and borrowed from a loan shark for a while, if he can't pay it back, those people won't let him off."

  It was Gao Qiu's mother who finally spoke up, her voice trembling with sobs, as she looked at Yang Qing's grandmother with a pleading expression.

  After all, they were blood sisters, and seeing her sister in this state, Yang Qing's grandmother couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

  "Alright, don't say anything more. I'll go talk to Xiao Qing for you, I won't just watch as Autumn Wind gets into trouble and do nothing." Yang Qing's grandmother sighed and comforted Gao Autumn Wind's mother.

  Then she turned her head and beckoned to Yang Qing's grandfather, "Old man, come with me for a walk and let's persuade Little Qing together."

  "I'm not going, you go instead! Why are you crying out loud now, where were you earlier?"

  After finishing speaking, Yang Qing's grandfather went into the inner room and lay down on the bed, ignoring Yang Qing's grandmother calling him in the outer room.

  "You won't go, I'll go myself. Without you, I don't believe I can persuade Xiao Qing."

  Yang Qing's grandmother stormed out of the door in a huff, and Gao Qiufeng's mother hastily pulled Gao Qiufeng along behind her.

  Since Yang Qing left, Gao Qiufeng has been keeping his head down and not saying a word, with both fists clenched tightly and his teeth biting his lower lip. Thinking that he would have to borrow money from Yang Qing in a humble manner later, he felt an extreme sense of humiliation in his heart.

  Yang Qing returned home when his father and mother were watching TV. Seeing Yang Qing's unpleasant face coming back from outside, the two of them also felt a little strange in their hearts. Who was he angry with this time?

  "Xiao Qing, what's wrong? Didn't you go to your grandmother's house? How did you come back so soon and with such a terrible look on your face?" Yang Qing's mother asked concernedly.

  "It's nothing, just bad luck, ran into someone I didn't want to see!" Yang Qing shook his head and didn't say anything more.

  "Isn't it your father's sisters?" Yang Qing's mother asked casually.

  "Who else could they be? How can we have such relatives?" Yang Qing said somewhat irritably.

  "Don't say that, you're a grown man, even if you really can't stand them, you should at least maintain some dignity!" Yang Qing's mother rebuked softly.

  "At first when my dad was in the hospital, they didn't even go to visit him. They were the ones who tore off this facade first, so what face am I supposed to leave for them?" Yang Qing asked somewhat discontentedly.

  "Don't tell me, anyway it's your uncle. If he doesn't mind, I won't bother with you." Yang Qing's mother didn't argue with him either, and directly threw the question to Yang Qing's father.

  "Hey, don't ask me about this! I was the patient back then, receiving visits from relatives is your job, what attitude you take is up to you." Yang Qing's father was even more straightforward, directly pushing all responsibility away.

  "Are you all watching TV?"

  Just then, the door of the main house opened and Yang Qing's grandmother and Gao Qiufeng mother and son walked in from outside.

  "Fourth Aunt, you've arrived! Sit down, quickly sit!" Yang Qing's father and mother hastily stood up to greet them.

  Yang Qing didn't get up at all, but just swept a glance over Gao Qiufeng and her son, then turned his head back expressionlessly, shifting his gaze back to the TV screen.

  "Actually, we came to apologize to you. Last time you were hospitalized, we had something on and couldn't visit you, please don't mind!"

  As soon as everyone sat down, Gao Qiufeng's mother turned to Yang Deshui with a sincere expression.

  "Oh, it's nothing. After all, work comes first! Besides, I've already recovered and been discharged from the hospital, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

  In this case, Yang Qing's father can only be magnanimous and show understanding.

  "Xiao Qing, I know you're still angry about this matter. We don't ask for your forgiveness, we just hope you can save your uncle's life."

  "What's going on? What happened? You sound very serious." Yang Qing's father furrowed his brow slightly.

  "Before the autumn wind, he opened a toy processing factory. Due to poor management, the capital chain was broken. In order to turn around, he borrowed money from usurers. Who knew that the factory still didn't improve? Now those usurers are coming to collect debts and say that if they don't pay back the money, they will take his life."

  In the end, Gao Qiufeng's mother burst into tears again.

  "...". Upon hearing this, Yang Qing's father also couldn't express anything, casting his gaze towards Yang Qing, unsure of what he meant.

  "Xiao Qing, after all, is a relative. If you have the money, help your uncle pay it back! You don't want to see him get killed by those loan sharks, do you?"

  Yang Qing didn't say a word, he just stared at Gao Qiufeng with an expressionless face, who was sitting there with his head down.

  "Autumn wind, say something!" Autumn Wind's mother hastily pulled his arm and urged anxiously.

  Gao Qiufeng slowly raised his head, his face flushed with shame, his voice a little hoarse: "Yang Qing, I owe 400,000 yuan in usury, if you can help me pay it back, I will never forget your help today."

  Yang Qing let out a light snort, almost laughed by the high autumn wind. He really thought he was someone important now, what kind of time was this? He wouldn't even say a soft word.

  "Give me a reason!" Yang Qing said coldly.

  "What?" Gao Qiufeng stared at Yang Qing with a shocked face.

  "Give me a reason why I should lend you money. At least let me know what kindness you have shown to my family, so that you would have the nerve to ask me for 400,000 yuan as soon as you open your mouth?"

  Gao Qiufeng understood Yang Qing's meaning, and his expression gradually became angry. He had already humbled himself to this extent, yet Yang Qing still refused to lend him money, which was simply outrageous.

  "Yang Qing, you're driving a car worth over 500,000 yuan, and now I'm asking to borrow 400,000 from you, but you won't even consider it. I know why - it's because I didn't visit your dad in the hospital, and you've been holding a grudge against me ever since. You're hoping that I'll get killed by the loan sharks, aren't you? Yang Qing, let me tell you this: if I don't end up well, neither will you!"

  Gao Qiu's face was crazed as he charged towards Yang Qing, bellowing loudly. Just thinking about it, if he didn't pay up, those people would chop off his hands and feet, how could he not go crazy?

  Just now he saw that Audi Q5 worth over 500,000 at the entrance of the alley, he knew that Yang Qing must have the ability to help him pay back the money. No one would take all their money to buy a car, there must be more money with Yang Qing.

  "High autumn wind! If you go crazy again, don't use those usury lenders, I'll chop you off first. Get out!" Yang Qing's face turned cold and he shouted in a low voice.
