Chapter 241 Accident
"Sister Yuyu, grandma is crying." Xixi rushed into the field in a panic, running out of breath.
Mo Yu was bending over to pick vegetables. When she heard the sound, she stopped and her expression tensed: "Don't be afraid, Xixi, sister will go back to check." She quickly picked the last handful of vegetables, slung over her basket, reached out and took Xixi's hand, and hurried home.
Before reaching the door of her house, she could faintly hear Aunt Luo crying, which made Mo Yu even more anxious.
When I arrived at the yard, I saw Aunt Luo slumped on the ground, pounding her hands and crying so hard she was about to faint. Two or three of her closest neighbors were surrounding her, whispering words of comfort.
Seeing Mo Yu come back, the neighbors greeted her, gave Aunt Luo a few more words of advice, and then went home.
Mo Yu quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and asked softly, "Aunt Luo, what exactly happened?"
"Daqiang is in trouble..." Aunt Luo said with sobs.
From Aunt Luo's fragmented and tearful description, Mo Yu finally understood the whole story.
When Liu Xiao brought the wine into the private room, a nobleman in the room took the opportunity to touch his hand. Shocked and frightened, Liu Xiao immediately told the security guard Su Daqiang about the incident.
Su Daqiang became anxious upon hearing this. He rushed into the box and beat the young man severely, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
Not long after, Su Daqiang was tied up and taken away by people sent by the nobleman's father.
"Yuyu, what do you say we should do? Daqiang's manager and Liu Xiao called and said we have to pay at least 100,000 yuan in compensation, and whether they release the person or not depends on their mood." Aunt Luo said, and she was overwhelmed with grief again, and tears could not stop flowing.
Mo Yu's heart instantly turned heavy after hearing this. One hundred thousand yuan would have been a piece of cake for her in the past, but now her monthly salary was only three thousand. Even if she didn't eat or drink, she would have to save for nearly three years to come up with that much money.
Aunt Luo occasionally did odd jobs on weekdays, and all the money she earned was used to pay off the debts owed by Xixi's parents during their lifetime.
Seeing Aunt Luo crying, Xixi also sat beside her and sobbed quietly.
"Aunt Luo, it's okay. I'm here. I've saved over 20,000 yuan. If I sell the phone that Daqiang bought me, I'll ask my colleagues at school to borrow some money. I'll eventually get the 100,000 yuan together."
Aunt Luo quickly waved her hand and refused, "How can I ask you for money? I'll sell the house and borrow some money."
"You can't sell it!" Mo Yu grabbed Aunt Luo's hand. "If you sell it, where will you and Xixi live?"
As they were talking, Liu Xiao called again. Mo Yu took Aunt Luo's phone and pressed the answer button.
Liu Xiao's choked voice came from the other end of the phone: "Auntie, they beat Daqiang and said they would beat him to death if you don't bring the money over. Wuwuwu."
"Don't cry, I'll be right to City A." Mo Yu calmly soothed her. Then she hung up the phone and said to Aunt Luo seriously, "Aunt Luo, I'm going to City A. Don't worry about the money. I'm from City A, and I have a solution."
Aunt Luo wiped her tears and said worriedly, "Yuyu, don't lie to me. You can't put yourself in danger just to save Daqiang. I'll sell the house to raise the money to pay you back."
"I'm not lying to you. I have family in City A. Aunt Luo, please don't sell the house. Even if you do, it won't be sold overnight. Brother Daqiang can't afford to delay. I'll go to City A first and negotiate with the people who kidnapped Brother Daqiang. Aunt Luo, I will definitely let Brother Daqiang return home safely. Believe me."
Aunt Luo lowered her head, pondered for a moment, sighed heavily, and said, "Yuyu, you know more than me. I believe you. Please wait for me for a while."
After saying this, Aunt Luo staggered back to her room. After a while, she came out of the room with an exquisitely embroidered purse in her hand.
Aunt Luo walked up to Mo Yu and opened her purse, which contained a slightly worn passbook and a jade bracelet.
She put these things in Mo Yu's hand and said, "There's 30,000 yuan in the passbook. It's the compensation from your uncle's accident. I haven't used it before. This bracelet is a wedding gift from your uncle. Go sell it."
Mo Yu saw the bracelet and thought for a moment before a look of surprise appeared on her face. "Aunt Luo, your bracelet is in great condition and could be worth hundreds of thousands. I can sell it and pay you back. You can take the passbook back."
Aunt Luo stared at the bracelet with an expression of disbelief: "Don't try to scare me. Your uncle can't possibly afford to give me a bracelet worth hundreds of thousands of yuan."
"Really!" Mo Yu nodded vigorously, her eyes firm. "I had a friend who was in the bracelet business. Your bracelet has been around for so long, it must be worth a hundred thousand."
After hearing this, Aunt Luo finally showed a hint of joy on her face. She turned the bracelet over and over, examining it carefully, and murmured, "Your uncle has appeared in heaven."
"Then Aunt Luo, I'm going to City A today. You wait for my news at home."
After saying this, Mo Yu turned and ran into the house. She quickly changed into clean clothes, picked up her bag, and ran to the village entrance to catch the bus to town. After arriving in town, she immediately took another bus to the city.
It was already seven in the afternoon when they arrived in the city. Liu Xiao made several phone calls during this time. Every time the phone rang, it was like a death warrant, making Mo Yu's heart heavier, and Liu Xiao's tone became more and more anxious.
Fortunately, the next high-speed train was leaving in forty minutes. Mo Yu quickly bought a ticket and bought a few buns at the convenience store in the waiting hall to simply fill her stomach.
Sitting on the high-speed train, Mo Yu looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window. She had thought that she would never return to City A in this life, but she didn't expect to be back so soon.
She subconsciously tightened the bracelet in her hand and began to think about how to collect the 100,000 yuan.
"If all else fails, I'll just borrow from my parents," she thought to herself. Her old SIM card was still with Ni Jiamu, and she couldn't log into social media, so she couldn't borrow money from her classmates. Even if she did, no one would likely lend her money. Besides her parents and Ni Jiamu, she couldn't possibly borrow 100,000 yuan, and she only knew the phone numbers of those three people.
"First, go to Brother Daqiang's workplace to negotiate with that person and ask if I can pay the debt first. If that doesn't work, I can ask my parents for a loan." She made plans silently in her mind.
A few hours later, the high-speed train slowly pulled into City A's high-speed rail station. Liu Xiao, tear-stained and eyes swollen, had been anxiously waiting at the exit. As soon as she saw Mo Yu, she hurried over and burst into tears, "It's all my fault. Daqiang got kidnapped! That rich kid's father even threatened to chop off Daqiang's hand. Yuyu, I'm so scared."
"Sister-in-law, it's okay. I will negotiate with them as a family member first. If they really want to pay back 100,000 yuan, I have a way." Mo Yu patted Liu Xiao's shoulder and comforted her softly.
