It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

Chen Xiaofu seemed to be using WeChat. She swiped her finger and exited, then looked at Ruan Qian:

"Oh, it's Xiao Qian."

Ruan Qian blinked. She felt that her cousin was inexplicably uncomfortable, as if she was running away from something, as if someone was chasing her.

At the table, before the dishes were served, they chatted animatedly. The old man was in good health, with a strong voice, and his family still raised chickens, so there was no need for his family to worry about them, so the topic turned to the children.

"Xiao Qian is in her second year of high school now, right? The college entrance exam is just over a year away, so she should hurry up." said my aunt.

"Hey, this kid's grades are pretty good now, he's made great progress, and he's even serializing a comic book." Gu Yiwen covered his mouth and laughed.

"Comics? That's not a good idea. It will delay my studies. It won't be too late to draw after I get into college."

Ruan Qian pouted when she heard this.

"What about Xiaofu? Did you have a romantic relationship in college?"

"No, Xiaofu is a tutor now and makes a lot of money!" Aunt laughed. Although she was restrained, she still couldn't help showing off, "She bought her cell phone, computer, clothes, and cosmetics herself."

"So powerful?" Gu Yiwen exclaimed.

The men drank white wine and the women talked about family matters.

The dishes were all served. Ruan Xi didn't have many big meals a year, but this was the Spring Festival, and even a tight family wouldn't skimp on food today. She took a photo and sent it to Teacher Tong, wondering where Teacher Tong was eating now.

Maybe I'll book the hotel.

Chapter 86: Trap

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets are decorated with lights and the air is filled with a festive atmosphere.

After dinner, we said goodbye to my aunt's family and my grandparents, and decided to walk home slowly. In this street in Xiangnan, besides restaurants, there are the most mobile phone stores. OPPO and VIVO echo each other, and the youthful faces of the spokespersons are posted on the walls. Occasionally, when passing by an Apple store, Gu Yiwen stopped, and Ruan Qian asked in confusion:

"what happened?"

"How about I let Mom buy you a new phone?" Gu Yiwen asked after hesitating for a moment.

"I want one too!" Ruan Xiaobei's eyes turned red. "My current phone is worse than my sister's!"

"Let's talk about it when you go to high school." Gu Yiwen retorted, turning to smile at her daughter, "Just think of it as New Year's money from your mother."

"Mom, why do you suddenly want to change my phone..." Ruan Qian said, and noticed that the clerk had seen them and wanted to come out to attract customers, so she quickly said, "No need to change, Apple is too expensive, I'm fine with this one."

In the past, the New Year’s money was only 500 yuan, but now it costs 5,000 yuan to buy a new mobile phone.

"I see that all the young girls in our company use Apple," Gu Yiwen's eyes were kind and gentle, "I don't feel comfortable using your phone. I have to press it with my fingernails to type. Mom rarely buys these things for you, and I feel bad about it."

She wanted to replace her daughter's cell phone, firstly because the original one was really not easy to use, secondly as a reward for her improved grades, and thirdly as New Year's money.

There are two hidden reasons. One is that today I saw that my sister's daughter ate, wore and used better things than my own daughter, which made me feel sad and guilty. The second is that the teacher my daughter pursued, according to my daughter, was a rich girl, so I couldn't let my daughter live too poorly.

"Mom..." Ruan Qian's eyes were a little red.

"Dad will pay half as well." Ruan Chen has always been unwilling to admit defeat in such matters, fearing that his daughter would think that her mother treats her better than her father. "It's time to change the phone."

So, on the first day of the new year, the little girl got her first mobile phone in her life, which cost more than 5,000 yuan.

The same model as Teacher Tong’s.

Ruan Qian's face flushed slightly. She even chose the same color on purpose.

Of course, hers is a low-end version, and Teacher Tong’s is probably the top-end one.

Ruan Xiaobei watched from the side and the food was so sour that it almost tasted bad.

"Sister, can you lend me your phone?" He had never tried playing games on a high-performance phone.

"No." Ruan Qian was logging into WeChat, afraid that her brother would see her chat history with Teacher Tong. No child could resist the temptation of a new phone, so she installed the software while walking and had a lot of fun.

"Don't let it affect your studies." Gu Yiwen reminded.

"Know!"

Ruan Qian was downloading the necessary software when a familiar avatar popped up in front of her.

The other party transfers 5000 yuan to you.

【Teacher Tong】: New Year’s money.

[Teacher Tong]: It’s only given during the Chinese New Year, once a year, so don’t think too much about it.

【Ruan Qian】:……

How could she possibly accept it?

Teacher Tong was wondering how difficult her family's life was... Well, it was true that their conditions were not good, and she had long lost any self-esteem in front of Teacher Tong.

But...she refused.

[Ruan Qian]: I don’t want to.

I can only wait for the transfer to be automatically returned tomorrow.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yiwen saw that her daughter's face was not right, "Is there something wrong with the phone?"

"no!"

Ruan Qian hurriedly quit WeChat, but her attempt to cover up her mistake only made it more obvious.

Gu Yiwen actually glanced at the WeChat message, but didn’t say anything. He sighed and asked:

"How much New Year's money did your aunt give you?"

The New Year's money was given at the dinner party. Ruan Qian didn't count it, but Ruan Xiaobei secretly counted it and shouted: "Aunt gave me 1000!"

Ruan Qian took out the red envelope, counted it, and it was also one thousand.

"Okay, then you can keep it for yourselves." Gu Yiwen smiled, "Your aunt is very generous."

Ruan Xiaobei cheered on the spot. Whether to hand over the New Year's money depends entirely on his mother's mood. Of course he is happy to be able to use it himself.

New Year, fireworks scattered in the sky, back to the community, the roadside is full of firecracker debris and the smell of gunpowder. It was already late, the family went back to the house and went into the bedroom. Ruan Qian fiddled with her new phone, couldn't let it go, found Teacher Tong's name, and clicked "Video Call".

Tong Yao's cell phone vibrated on the coffee table, accompanied by bursts of ringing.

Jiang Wu glanced at her daughter who was bathing Tamamo in the bathroom, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and frowned when she saw the name on the screen. Her daughter's name was stuck in her throat. She silently put the phone back and let the ringing continue for a long time.

Finally, all that's left is a "Not Connected" lock screen.

--wrong.

The phone that was about to go off suddenly lit up again.

[Ruanruan]: Teacher Tong, I changed my cell phone!

Jiang Wu's face was filled with black lines. She really wanted to see the chat history between her daughter and this student, but her upbringing did not allow her to do such a thing. She could only take a quick look at this moment.

The little girl didn't get a reply and was a little frustrated. She put down her phone, took the bottle of water and went to the living room. She passed her parents' bedroom. The door was closed and she could vaguely hear the discussion inside.

"...I didn't expect that my sister gave so much New Year's money to Xixi and the others this time. I only gave 500 to Xiaofu, which was too little." The speaker was Gu Yiwen.

"What are you going to do?" Ruan Chen asked.

"How about... next time Xiaofu comes over, you give her another 1500? I don't have much cash left."

"……Row."

Ruan Qian left silently and filled a glass of water in the living room.

The joy of getting a new phone faded all of a sudden, as if milk had turned into unsweetened coffee, bitter, yet sobering.

"Sister?" Ruan Xiaobei's voice suddenly appeared behind him, "What's wrong? Are you still in a daze while fetching water?"

Ruan Qian stepped aside, and then she spread her hands towards her brother:

"Let's hand over our New Year's money. Mom has no money left. I'll hand over 1000 and you'll hand over 500."

The New Year's money given by other relatives is not their generosity. After all, it is exchanged for equivalent money from one's own parents.

Ruan Xiaobei looked pained and reluctant, but he didn't refuse.

With 1000 yuan, he can upgrade a lot of accessories for his computer.

The two siblings contributed their own red envelopes. Ruan Qian counted them and found it was 1500. At this moment, her cell phone vibrated. She thought it was a reply from Teacher Tong, so she opened it excitedly, but it turned out to be a friend request.

"Note: Chen Xiaofu"

Cousin? Doesn’t she already have her cousin’s WeChat?

Although puzzled, she still accepted the friend request.

The other party said nothing.

She sent a question mark, and soon a video came from the other side.

The girl clicked the video with doubt in her heart. After a few seconds, she dropped her phone on the bed out of shock. In the video, a naked woman was holding her ID card. She didn't dare to finish watching it. The other party sent another message:

"She owes us money, it's overdue, and you're in her address book."

Ruan Qian immediately ran to the door of her mother's bedroom. She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. She was shocked:

"Mom, come out for a moment!"

-

-

After watching the video, Gu Yiwen couldn't accept it for a moment, but the facts were right in front of her and she couldn't ignore them.

Looking at the people in the video and the ID cards in their hands, if they had not had dinner together tonight, she would even think that Chen Xiaofu had been kidnapped.

After she realized what was happening, she called directly.

"Xiao Fu, do you owe anyone money?"

Chen Xiaofu on the other end of the phone was silent at first, then said with a lack of confidence:

“No, no…”

"Tell Auntie the truth, do you owe her anything? Everyone has found us!"

Chen Xiaofu seemed to be panicking. She was stunned for a long time before she stammered:

"Just...a little bit owed."

"A little?! You only owe someone a little so that they can send the video to your cousin's phone?! Just think about how many people have received this video!"

When she said this, Chen Xiaofu finally broke down. She asked, almost knowing the answer, with a trembling voice:

"Have you... seen the video?"

Gu Yiwen took a deep breath and tried to calm down:

"How much do you owe? Tell your family right now!"

"I, I don't know..." Chen Xiaofu said in a tearful voice, "I don't dare to calculate..."

In this society, there are countless traps called temptation. Today, it once again swallows and excretes a person, and finally makes this person filthy.

Eventually, my aunt's family found out about the matter.

Chen Xiaofu accepted all the loans. She had never been a tutor before and her mind was focused on having fun. She started to use online loans in her freshman year. For more than two years, she used loans to pay off loans. The huge amount of money she easily got seemed to make her rich and generous. When she wanted to buy something, she continued to borrow. When she couldn't pay it back, she borrowed new online loans to pay it back. She didn't dare to tell her family. In the end, the money kept rolling in until she couldn't borrow any more money. The truth could no longer be hidden - perhaps she should be thankful that she finally couldn't borrow any more.

In this avalanche, every snowflake is cheering.

-

-

"Xiao Fu...she owes more than 600,000 yuan."

Late at night, my aunt's voice on the phone sounded a little tired.

Ruan Qian stood aside. Her mother asked her to go back to sleep, but she refused and sat aside with a serious look on her face.

"How come you owe so much?"

"She spent more than 200,000 yuan... the rest was all interest."

"It cost more than 200,000?!" Gu Yiwen was shocked.

All in all, the monthly consumption is about 10,000 yuan.

"Sister, can you lend me some money? We want to pay it back as soon as possible. We just bought a car and can't come up with that much money right now. Can...can you lend me some money? The better."

"I..." Gu Yiwen was embarrassed.
