This Is a Routine

There was still half an hour before dinner, so Lu Chen took a taxi home first.

Since he was in charge, he didn't mind making them wait.

Lu Chen's home was in the old city district, a small house with two bedrooms and a living room.

In addition to his mother, he also had a second year of college called Lu Yan.

When they were young, the siblings slept in the same room. When they grew up, Lu Chen slept in the living room. After my father died, my mother slept with my sister.

Now, my sister is in school and won't be back until the weekend.

However, during this period of time, his sister rarely returned home. She said that she was working diligently and frugally as a home tutor.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt sad.

When he was in college, wasn't he doing odd jobs to maintain his tuition?

After graduation, in order to make more money, he went to the underground boxing ring and stayed there as a boxer for three months. He couldn't take it anymore and had to leave. Until now, he still had hidden injuries.

Apart from that, he had moved bricks on the construction site, set up stalls on the street, and distributed flyers from tall buildings.

Many people had never experienced such hardships, and he had already experienced such hardships.

Now, the suffering had come!

"Son, you're back?"

My mother came out of the kitchen at the sound of it.

After so many years of hard work, his mother had aged quite a bit. Coupled with his father's death, his mother had become extremely haggard.

Should he hate them?

Lu Chen couldn't hate it.

He came back in a hurry to check the number.

He put down the canvas bag in his bedroom and took a sip of water. Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, the door opened again.

His sister Lu Yan walked in.

It had to be said that his sister was very beautiful!

She wore a simple floral dress, her long black hair cascading down her shoulders. On her cherry-like mouth, which was not covered in lipstick, there was a hint of a natural bright red colour, and her oval face was inlaid with large watery eyes.

A lifelike image of the little sister next door!

Sometimes, even Lu Chen wanted to join Fei Fei.

It wasn't because he was shameless, but because Lu Yan wasn't his own sister, she was someone his parents picked up on the street.

Lu Yan did not know about this secret.

Of course, he now knew that even if Lu Yan was born from his parents, she wasn't related to him by blood.

"Sister, it's not a weekend today. What are you doing back here?" Lu Chen asked casually.

"Can't I think of Mom?" Lu Yan answered.

She didn't dare to tell Lu Chen that she had come back to hide her debt!

She was even more afraid to ask him or her mother for money. She knew that in order to repay her father's debt, there was no money in the family.

"Yan'er is back too. Alright, alright, I'll go out and buy some meat!" Mother forced a smile on her face.

It was only when her daughter returned that she could bear to buy some meat.

"Mom, there's no need to buy it." Lu Chen said.

"Why?" Mrs. Lu turned around, puzzled.

Right at this moment …

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

Knock, knock, knock.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Lu asked.

"Open the door!" "Open the door!"

A rough voice sounded.

Lu Yan was shocked and her expression changed.

"Who are you?" Mrs. Lu asked, trembling with fear.

There had been a lot of kickbacks in the past, and every time she'd been frightened.

"Cut the crap, open the door quickly, or else I'll smash the door!"

Lu Yan's expression changed drastically as she hurriedly shook her head. "Mom, don't open the door! Don't open the door!"

Lu Chen stared at his sister in confusion. It was clear that the person knocking on the door was related to her.

"Yan'er, what's going on?" Mrs. Lu asked anxiously.

"Lu Yan, open the door. We know you're inside. If you don't open the door soon, don't blame us for being impolite!"

The people outside shouted again.

"Mom, sis, don't be afraid, I will take care of everything!"

Lu Chen strode toward the door.

In the past, he might have been scared, but now, hehe --

"Bro, don't!" Lu Yan screamed.

She had never thought that those people would follow her home. She was afraid that they would harm her family!

The door opened.

Four fiendish looking young men rushed in. They were all bare-chested and had tattoos on their bodies. It was obvious that they were the type of gangsters.

Lu Yan was so scared that she shrunk back into her mother's arms.

The leader, a hoodlum, shaven his head and said in an evil tone, "Lu Yan, do you think we won't be able to find you when you run home? Let me tell you, even if you run to the ends of the earth, we can still find you! "

Lu Chen walked forward, "Why are you looking for my sister?"

"For what?" That buzz cut man glanced at Lu Chen, "Find her and pay her back. Today is the final payment date!"

Lu Chen turned around and looked at his sister, "What happened?"

Lu Yan trembled as she said in a sobbing tone, "Two months ago, I accidentally broke my roommate's phone. At that time, I didn't have any money on me, so I borrowed three thousand yuan from them. When it came to the time to return the money, I didn't pay it back, only part of it. I paid them back five thousand yuan one after another. And now, I still owe them one hundred thousand yuan! "

After she finished speaking, Lu Yan started crying.

Lu Chen frowned. Holy shit, isn't this just a typical 'loan using a routine'?

In the past two years, there had been cases of suicides due to routine loans.

Mrs. Lu hugged her daughter tightly, trembling from anger. "She lent you three thousand yuan and already paid you five thousand yuan. This interest rate is already much higher than the bank. Why does she still owe you one hundred thousand yuan?"

"Smelly thirty-eight, this paper is written in black and white, do you still want to deny it?" The buzz cut man said fiercely.

"I don't have any money, I really don't have any money to pay it back." Lu Yan cried her heart out.

Lu Chen felt his heart ache. Two months, his sister had returned 5000 yuan. It was not easy. Obviously, she had been forced to a corner.

"Let my daughter go, there really is no money at home." Mrs. Lu said pitifully. She understood that this group of usurpers couldn't afford to offend them.

"Fuck, you think we do charity?" The buzz cut young man waved the baseball bat in his hand, "Even if you want to borrow it, you have to lend it to us. If you really don't have any money, you can just sell this house to repay the money!"

At this moment, the activity in the room caught the attention of the neighbors next door, and several people stuck their heads in.

"What are you looking at? They owe us money. We're here to collect our debts. If you keep looking, I'll beat you to death!" cried one of the buggers at the door, dancing the pipe.

Those people were so frightened that they quickly withdrew.

Lu Chen suddenly thought of a problem. He walked up to Lu Yan and whispered, "When you borrowed money, did you take that kind of photo?"

"Nope." Lu Yan said in a low voice.

Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and said to the group of people, "Ok, I will call my friend and let him solve this problem."

Mrs. Lu said, "Son, how can a friend lend you so much money?!"

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll handle it!"

Lu Chen picked up his phone, walked to the side and started to make calls.

Very soon, after the call, Lu Chen said, "He will be here in 15 minutes!"

"Hmph, consider yourself sensible!"

The short-haired man pulled over a chair and sat down in it.

Mrs. Lu held her daughter and looked at Lu Chen in panic.

They didn't think Lu Chen would get the money, because his friends were people without money.
