Ruan Yan looked blank when she heard what he said.

"What is meant by trying to live?"

There was a long silence in the room.

Just when Ruan Yan thought she could not hear his answer, a man's low voice came in front of her:

"Just that you never know if there is a place to sleep tonight or when the debt collector will catch up."

"Debt collection?" Ruan Yan was stunned.

How could such a thing happen?

Ruan Yan sensed the cold emotions of the man in front of her, and then asked softly: "Did your family ever...have something wrong?" She didn't expect to lead the topic in this direction. After asking, she quickly added. "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, it's okay..."

Zhou Mengyan picked up the wine bottle and refilled the glass with red wine.

Then tilt his head back and finish drinking.

"Our family used to go bankrupt."

It is bankruptcy in the true sense.

In the early 1990s, Zhou Sili first came into contact with the luggage industry. After they got married with Qin Xi, the industry they did became popular in Lincheng at that time and began to export abroad.

Once, Zhou Sili signed a large export order and produced a large number of bags. Who knows that foreign marketers insist that the materials of these bags contain carcinogens and the quality is substandard. They refused to pay and returned all the goods. .

This incident caused a lot of trouble in Lincheng. Coupled with the fact that several competitors who have been watching them unhappy were fanning the flames behind the scenes, this batch of bags could not be sold at all. Several suppliers who originally provided materials and then asked them to pay regularly. Going to the door, he must pay all the money within a month.

They had a very ruthless attitude. In order to vent their anger, they moved all the valuables in their homes, and the original magnificent villa was suddenly surrounded by walls.

Zhou Sili sold his car and house, sold all his family properties, and owed more than one million yuan. For Zhou Sili, the more than one million in the 1990s could not be worth his life.

Zhou Sili and Qin Xi were looking for people to borrow money everywhere. They were faced with cold eyes and ridicule. Their former partners, most of their relatives, neighbors and friends turned their faces in an instant. They used to help and take care of them during the period of Zhou Sili’s beauty. , As if eradicated from their memory, only spurned and escaped.

At that time, Zhou Mengyan was only ten years old.

All of his world changed overnight.

Before the villa was sold, his parents went out to borrow money during the day and let him stay at home alone. The vendors came to ask for money at every turn, beat the door frantically, yelled at the door, and Zhou Mengyan didn't dare to move. , Shrank under the desk, afraid to make any movement.

Those debt-collecting voices were like curses until high school, even if the Zhou family rose again, he would still dream of someone coming to collect debts at night, and woke up in a cold sweat.

Once when he came home from school, he saw that the debt collector was in front of the house again and had to walk around to the backyard. He was seen by the neighbors and their children. They satirized him all kinds of things, saying that only dogs and underlings would come in from the backyard.
