Hidden moth

Chapter 140: Difficulty in Calming Down

He Shan's face changed color and she said, "Isn't it because something happened to that company... How did you know?"

He Kao: "Xinda Internet Finance Co., Ltd., is that the one? They did have some problems last year, but they didn't close down after being penalized, and are still operating normally.

If you think you can avoid debt because of this incident, didn't you borrow money from them in the first place? It was also because the previous lender recommended that you borrow new money to repay old debts, so you borrowed money from them to repay the old debts.

Even if the interest is waived, are you still not going to repay the principal? The police don't have the power to stop you from paying back the money you owe. Besides, have the police ever contacted you to verify the situation?
To tell you the truth, it was Xiaopang who heard about this and took the initiative to find that company to help you pay off the debt. He also got the loan contract and everything back. That was more than half a year ago!"

He Shan looked at Xiao Pang and asked, "How did he know?"

He Kao: "I told him. I have a lawyer friend who represented a student's parents in a case last year. The student's situation was similar to yours. She found out about it, and I told Xiaopang about it.

After Xiaopang heard about it, he took the initiative to take me to that company and helped you pay off all your debts..."

He Kao sighed in his heart as he spoke, thinking that this girl was really careless. She owed the loan company so much money, but the other party suddenly stopped asking for the debt for half a year, acting as if nothing had happened.

It is hard to say that many of He Shan’s habits were not influenced by her aunt.

The eldest aunt secretly hid the banned dangerous goods in He Kao's house, thinking that everything would be fine. She didn't think about what to do if the police found them, but was just hoping for luck, replacing reality with her lucky imagination.

He Shan had the same problem. She was also optimistic. The other party had not come to collect the debt for several months, so she thought that the other party would not come to collect the debt due to some changes.

She hadn't told her family about this yet, nor had she thought about finding out the details. When they ran into each other on the street today, He Kao finally revealed the truth, and He Shan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

She looked at the fat boy hesitantly and said, "Thank you, thank you so much! But I haven't..."

He Kao interrupted her and said, "I know you have no money now. You are already working outside, but you were called back to help with the family business. Your aunt doesn't pay you a salary every month, but only gives you some pocket money, and she also says that she will buy you whatever you want..."

While speaking, she sighed secretly. Xiaoshan still knew what was right and wrong. At least her first reaction was to thank Xiaopang instead of anything else.

Xiaopang interrupted him again and said, "Just keep quiet. We all know what's going on at home."

He Kaoshan said pitifully, "Then can you please not tell me about this..."

He Kao interrupted her again: "I'm not saying this to urge you to pay back the money immediately, but you obviously can't afford this kind of thing, so you should have told your family a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't have been rolling around for several years and turned into such a huge debt!
I've got your IOU back. I'll have Mother Chen take you home tomorrow. Think about how you're going to tell your aunt first."

He Kao finally made a big move. He wanted to give He Shan's IOU to Chen's mother and tell her about it. The son took the initiative to pay 150,000 yuan to help the girl pay off her debt. How could he keep this secret?
Xiaopang can agree to it, but Mother Chen can’t.

Of course, this was partly because He Kao himself was a little afraid of his aunt and didn't want to deal with her because of this matter.

He Shan got anxious when she heard this: "No, I've saved nearly 20,000 yuan in the past six months. I'll pay Xiao Pang back first, and I'll pay the rest back slowly!"

Xiaopang was also a little anxious: "No, don't tell my mom."

He Kao stood up decisively and said, "You guys can discuss this slowly here. I'm leaving first!"

I don't know what He Shan and Xiaopang discussed, but when Xiaopang returned home, He Kao had already come and gone. His mother was still awake, sitting on the sofa waiting for him, with a pile of documents on the coffee table in front of her.

Seeing Xiaopang coming home, Mother Chen picked up the documents and asked him what was going on. He Kao had already briefly explained the matter, and Xiaopang had a hard time explaining it clearly.

He Kao returned to the city early the next morning, feeling like he'd just stirred up a hornet's nest and then run away. He wondered what other trouble his aunt might stir up. Xiaoshan was bound to get scolded when she got home, but some things had to be made clear.

If Xiaopang is really interested in He Shan, then create a chance for him. If there is no such opportunity, then give up the idea as soon as possible!
In He Kao's opinion, no matter who wants to be with Xiaoshan, any good relationship with her, they have to pass the test of the eldest aunt. The key is not to follow the eldest aunt's wishes, but to make her obedient. Otherwise, even if they are with Xiaoshan, they will not have a good life in the future.

Xiaopang can either deal with the aunt, or he can just give up...but that would be a pity for Xiaoshan.

He Kao's feelings towards his aunt's family are somewhat contradictory and complicated. Deep down, he cares about family affection, but he really can't stand certain things.

As the saying goes, even a judge cannot judge family affairs. He is now a third-level explorer of Yin'e Sect. He once overthrew the Huimingshi family, but he has no good way to deal with his aunt's family.

At noon the next day, his aunt called him as expected. He Kao had to turn down the volume, otherwise he felt like the phone screen was about to explode.

As expected, Mother Chen sent all the loan documents to her aunt's house. Mother Chen was a well-known respectable person in the town. She spoke very casually and stated that she had no intention of going to the aunt's house to collect the debt.

She just knew about this incident and then sent the things to the He family. She also said that it was the two children who were ignorant and did not tell their family for such a long time. Fortunately, Xiaokao remembered it.

As for how to deal with it, Zhou Yan and He Changshan can handle it.

The aunt interrogated her daughter for a long time, like she was interrogating a thief, and then she found out that this matter had been kept secret for several years. She had first borrowed several thousand yuan when she was in school...

He Changshan was so angry that he wanted to break his daughter's legs, but he couldn't do it in the end. The eldest aunt grabbed the stick and said she would do it, but she was stopped by her husband... She didn't beat her, but He Shan was scolded.

After scolding her daughter, the aunt was still angry and called He Kao to ask whether the matter was true or not. The IOU was already in her hands, so what was true or false?
But the aunt still hoped to hear the answer she wanted from He Kao, and let He Kao say that this did not happen, or that Xiaopang did not help He Shan pay off the debt.

Of course, He Kao didn't do what she wanted and insisted on his original statement. Then the eldest aunt questioned him, saying that since he and Xiaopang hadn't said anything at the time, why did he think of giving the IOU to Xiaopang's mother now?
Mother Chen came to their house with the IOU. Wasn’t this an attempt to embarrass their family?

He hung up the phone after hearing this. Later, his aunt called him again but he didn't answer because he was busy with work. When it was time for dinner, his uncle called again. His tone was relatively gentle. He first asked when He Kao would be back for the Spring Festival and that he was waiting for him to have New Year's Eve dinner together.

He Kaozhe replied that he wanted to go on a long road trip during the Spring Festival, which is the self-driving tour that has been very popular in recent years, and he wanted to visit his uncle in Kuanchun City in the northeast.

Then the uncle tactfully reminded him that since it was He Kao and Xiao Pang who went to the loan company together, why didn't He Kao take the initiative to pay money to help his sister pay the debt, but insisted on asking an outsider to pay for it? It's not like he doesn't have money!
He Kao replied that he had only been working for less than six months at the time and had no money. As for receiving his father's belongings and the rumors circulating in the countryside that he had made a fortune, that happened several months later.

My uncle then took the opportunity to ask, since he is so rich now, could he help my sister return the money to Xiaopang first, so that everything will be fine.

He Kao held back and didn't say anything. In fact, the money had already been returned. He asked, "Uncle, are you going to borrow money from me?"

My uncle didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

He Kao then said that it was possible, but his uncle had to write a promissory note. He requested that the loan be made in the name of his aunt and uncle, not Xiaoshan.

The reason is very simple. An adult's income comes from work, but Xiaoshan does not have a proper job income. She just helps her parents run the family business. Her family does not pay her a salary but just gives her some pocket money, under the pretext of helping her save for her dowry.

More importantly, it was the uncle who approached He Kao and asked for the money, not Xiao Shan herself, so let the uncle lend it to him. He Kao is still willing to give him this face.

He Kao thought this was a perfect solution. As long as his uncle was willing to write a promissory note, he would tell Mother Chen that he had helped Xiaoshan return the money to Xiaopang.

Unexpectedly, my uncle hesitated and said he wanted to discuss it with my aunt again.

After hanging up the phone, He Kao sat there and thought carefully. He always felt as if something was wrong, as if he had deliberately created a conflict, because the matter of 150,000 yuan did not exist at all.

Xiaopang helped He Shan settle the matter without spending a penny, but by relying on the ability of hidden moth and professional skills.

The dispute arose when He Kao, upon hearing about the incident, specifically asked Xiaopang to transfer 150,000 yuan to him. His intention, perhaps, was to provide a reasonable explanation for the matter.

When Xiaopang lost his memory of the hidden moth, in his mind, he really spent 150,000 yuan to help He Shan solve the problem.

He Shan's loan contract and loan note information are all with Xiaopang, and there is also a record of him transferring 150,000 yuan to He Kao. Everything makes perfect sense!

In fact, He Kao returned the loan note to his aunt and the money to Xiaopang, and then told his aunt that he had paid the money himself, and the situation was settled. It just looked like he helped Xiaoshan pay back 150,000 yuan.

He Kao didn't care whether Xiaoshan had returned the money or not. Even if his aunt's family had returned it, He Kao would have tried to give them the money again. Anyway, he would not accept the money and shouldn't have accepted it.

But what he did now seemed like he was deliberately looking for trouble. He first colluded with Xiaopang, and then handed the IOU to Mother Chen. It was obvious that he was trying to cause trouble.

Why did he do this? It seemed like a sudden decision, yet also like it had been long planned. It seemed he still had resentment towards his aunt's family because of what happened last time, but he couldn't express it, and he was still upset.

Yesterday he just found an opportunity to play a trick on his aunt's family. He knew that his aunt would be furious, so he did it on purpose.

My uncle once said that He Kao was too thoughtful, and he was not wrong.

Why yesterday? Yesterday, I was clearly in a good mood. I treated the two elders to a meal, collected some treasures, and more importantly, not only did I comprehend the true meaning of practicing Dragon Tendon, I also successfully broke through to the third level of cultivation!

It is pointed out in the inheritance of various magic techniques that the most important test of third-level practice, apart from the difficulty of the technique itself, is to prevent the growth of inner demons.

Some people, after reading too many novels, may misunderstand the so-called inner demons, believing them to be merely the delusions that arise during meditation and cultivation, the various scenes conjured by demonic thoughts that either make one addicted or terrified...

The numerous hallucinations that arise after entering the country are indeed a kind of inner demon. Some people may interpret them as evil spirits infecting the mind, evil spirits practicing as evil, lust demons seducing souls and so on. It sounds like there really are some foreign monsters.

The reason why the inner demon is called the inner demon is that it actually originates from the human heart; and the external harassment is usually called wind evil in spiritual practice.

The source of the inner demon is very simple, it can be summed up in three words - it’s hard to let go.

Who hasn't experienced times when they feel uneasy? Therefore, the growth of inner demons is inevitable, and often even harder to detect. They may be insignificant, but they can have subtle and inexplicable effects on your usual state of mind.

The inner demons didn't just appear at the third stage; they had always existed, constantly emerging and disappearing. However, at the third stage, their impact on cultivation became increasingly pronounced, even being magnified and growing without one noticing.

Just as plants sprout and grow leaves, various insects are hatched from dormancy.

Some people believe that the test of the inner demon will not appear until the third level breaks through to the fourth level. This is a misunderstanding. In fact, it will be concentrated at that stage. If you can't break through it, you can't break through the barrier and make progress.

He Kao already had some grudges against his aunt's family. On the day he broke through to the third level, he inadvertently caused chaos in his aunt's family. It was estimated that he would not be able to have a good New Year!
Does this seem serious? It doesn't seem serious at all, just an everyday trivial matter, but it also reflects He Kao's state of mind and truly reveals his uneasy feelings.

He felt very upset, perhaps not only because of his aunt's family, but also because of other things, but He Kao didn't figure it out clearly.

After some introspection, He Kao realized that he had been feeling a bit restless. He turned around and walked back to the house in Guanliu Community, where he sat down on the terrace facing the river.

It seemed that sitting still had no effect. Even if he emptied his mind, he could still feel the energy stirring, making him uneasy. So he stood up and took a step, and the next moment he appeared in the depths of Gushan Mountain.
