1384: Pay Off the Debt and Start over (4 More)
In the evening, Xia Xiaolan met Wen Manni's husband Klaus.
Claus is a surgeon.
Doctors, lawyers, and accountants are all occupations that Americans cannot live without. Some people even say that these three people represent the three main aspects of medicine, law, and business in the United States. Part of the lifeblood of Americans is in the hands of these three people. , it can be seen how delicious it is.
Law school is expensive and difficult to get into, and the same goes for medical school, and it takes years of hard work to get from a medical student to Krause’s level.
Diligence alone is useless, no talent is really terrible.
Although Wen Manni used Klaus's frequent business trips as an excuse to cover up the fact that the two had separated, but Professor Wen and Hu Ying could not be suspicious because Wen Manni's lie was a mix of truth and falsehood, and Claus was a well-known surgeon. , does travel a lot - the surgeon's business trip, either to attend medical conferences, or to "flying knives" in other cities.
In the evening, Hu Ying prepared a sumptuous dinner to celebrate a rare family gathering.
Klaus picked up the cup and apologized, "I've been too busy recently. Connie went back to Ithaca to see you, but I couldn't accompany you."
Hu Ying can also understand, not to mention Klaus, even her own daughter is very busy!
Wen Manni is still like this, what reason does Hu Ying have to accuse Klaus?
In the United States, there is no saying that daughters-in-law must serve their in-laws, and sons-in-law do not necessarily have to please their parents-in-law. When parents have something to do, they will solve it themselves first, and if they can't handle it themselves, they will trouble their children instead of leaving things to their son-in-law or daughter-in-law.
Of course, if the partners of the children are willing to be close to them and respect them, the family relationship will be more intimate and harmonious.
Klaus is a standard American son-in-law. Every time he meets, he is very enthusiastic and has exceeded the ordinary level. Hu Ying and Professor Wen have become accustomed to it.
Xia Xiaolan is the only raw face, and Klaus did not ignore her when she was staying at Wen's house for a year:
"Xia, welcome to the United States! Connie didn't study architecture, so she found me as a doctor. You made up for the regret of the family and gave us another young man who studied architecture!"
Klaus laughed when he said that Wen Manni was in a relationship with him before and dared not take him home, because the Wen family said that her daughter could not study architecture and wanted a son-in-law who could study architecture.
As a result, Wen Manni found a doctor like him, and Professor Wen was unhappy for a long time.
Finally, on the premise of Wen Manni's happiness, I wished him and Wen Manni's marriage.
Speaking of which, Klaus couldn't help but look up at Wen Manni, who just so happened to look up... Connie is still so beautiful, just as she initially attracted him, what was it that destroyed their love and made them hate each other indifferently So as to separate?
As he and Connie said, the two really should try again. After so many years of relationship, it is not reconciled to separate like this.
There was a little tenderness in Klaus' eyes.
Xia Xiaolan noticed that Hu Ying's posture with the knife and fork seemed to be more relaxed.
Although Xia Xiaolan didn't say it, Wen Manni also hid it well. Could it be that Professor Wen and Hu Ying really didn't realize that their daughter's marriage was about to hit the rocks?
Xia Xiaolan had a faint feeling that Hu Ying and Professor Wen must have known, so they suddenly came to New York.
This "raid" brought Wenmani and Klaus together again.
To pretend to be affectionate in front of parents, maybe it can really wake up their former affection?
Xia Xiaolan suddenly felt that both Hu Ying and Professor Wen were amazing. She could also experience learning with this kind of silent life wisdom.
...
Xia Xiaolan was treated as a family member, attending the Wen family's family gathering.
Xu Jing and Ma Hai exchanged the check at the bank, turned out the IOU, and went to repay the money owed to others one by one.
The distance is from near to far, regardless of the size.
The two were given a lesson by Xia Xiaolan. They had just been taught how serious the consequences of violating the agreement were. They both asked the creditor to write a receipt before paying back a single payment.
The reputation in the circle is too bad, and many people have no hope, thinking that the money lent to the two is wasted.
Xu Jing and Ma Hai were able to repay the money, which really surprised the creditors.
Some people will inevitably ask questions.
Ask them if they are rich.
Xu Jing and Ma Hai also used the attitude of dealing with Xiang Li before, and kept tight-lipped about Xia Xiaolan's investment in their projects.
"Do you want the money or not? If we don't, we will give others first. If the money is not enough, we may not be able to return it to you."
The creditor grabbed the check: "Yes, why not, who knows where the two of you picked up the money, we don't care if the police come to the door!"
The robbery on the US side is just as arrogant as the "Road Bullies" and "Road Bandits" before China's crackdown. The crime rate is too high, and everyone is used to using checks instead of cash wherever they go. Including international students, when you arrive in the United States, you must first open a personal account, then get a checkbook, eat and live, and you can pay for everything by check.
What you will carry on your body is only small change, in case you need to take the subway and other transportation.
Of course, there will also be cases where the check cannot be cashed... This is either the account has been frozen by the bank, or it is malicious fraud.
When Xu Jing and Ma Hai repaid the money, they also questioned them.
Ma Hai Terrier wanted to get angry, thinking that others were creditors, they owed money, and the fire was hard to bear.
No matter what people's attitude towards them is now, if they were willing to lend them money in the past, this love will be taken care of.
"You can go to the bank to cash it first, and then write us a receipt when you see the money. Dude, thank you for your support in the most difficult time for me and Lao Xu. Really, I really appreciate you!"
As soon as Ma Hai lowered his posture, the other party was embarrassed.
"You two have repaid all the money you owe you guys, isn't it difficult?"
It's probably a few thousand dollars added up here and there. It's strange, where did these two people get such a large sum of money!
Shouldn't it be their project, there are really big bosses willing to invest... Then you can also know the rich bosses!
Xu Jing and Ma Hai were tight-lipped, but their actions to pay back the money one by one reached Xiang Li and Li Yong. Li Yong is very popular among the international students, and there must be someone who has tipped off the news.
At that time, Xiang Li was complaining to Li Yong, saying that Xia Xiaolan was stupid, she turned around and told Xu Jing and Ma Hai her kind words of advice:
"I have to find her in the morning, and there is no one at home, so I have to wait until noon, so I have to come back first!"
It's useless to have money. He's really a country bumpkin who just went abroad. He doesn't know how his family taught him, and he doesn't even wink at all.
When Xiang Li complained, someone tipped off.
Li Yong frowned when he heard that Xu Jing and Ma Hai paid debts everywhere:
"It seems that what you said was counterproductive. Xia Xiaolan still believed what Xu Jing and Ma Hai said, and really invested money for them."
"Maybe not?"
Xiang Li didn't want to admit that she made a trip to Ithaca without success.
Li Yong hit the nail on the head: "Except for Xia Xiaolan, there is no way for those two to get money from other places, I don't know how much Xia Xiaolan invested in them, so that they can clear all external accounts... Xiang Li, this junior sister Xia , may have more money than I estimated!"
