Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 121 Debt Collection by Loan Company (10)

Ye Nai came to handle the matter, saving on the handling fee, but taxes had to be paid.

Ye Nai didn’t care about the taxes; her goal was to teach her parents a lesson. The junk fund had lost a portion of their money, and to redeem the house deed, they lost the rest, leaving the family savings nearly depleted. She hoped they would be more settled, honestly return to work, and start saving again.

After the transaction was completed, Captain Xiao Ni handed the phone back to Ye Nai, who then operated it, sending the temporary account details for the transaction to her parents’ phones.

Both phones pinged simultaneously.

Ye Yu and Yu Qing instinctively looked towards their phones, but under the unmoving threat of Captain Niu’s pistol, they couldn’t stand up to grab them.

"Mr. Ye, Ms. Yu, the account number has been sent to your phones. If there’s no issue, please have another look at the contract. I don’t want you to claim later that the contract is fake. Check if these are indeed the contracts you signed when you originally borrowed the money, and the other is the contract for selling your debt to us."

Ye Nai took two contracts from Captain Xiao Ni’s hands and handed them over to her mother.

Yu Qing had no energy to scrutinize the details; seeing her and her husband’s signatures on the loan contract and noting the house deed number and home address on the other contract was enough for her.

Ye Nai handed the contracts back to Captain Xiao Ni.

"I’ll state it one last time: if we receive the money by midnight of the 9th, the house deed will be returned to you by a courier. If we don’t receive the money, the courier will bring a rental contract. If by midnight of the 13th day of the Lunar New Year we haven’t received the signed rental contract returned by the courier, we will come to collect the house early the next morning and proceed with the subsequent formalities. Do you both understand?"

"Understood."

Ye Nai nodded and nudged her parents.

Ye Yu and Yu Qing nodded as well, their faces a mixture of conflict and reluctance.

"Good, then I’ll leave you to it. Happy New Year."

The family clenched their mouths tight, unable to return a "Happy New Year."

They were not in the mood.

It even felt like a mockery.

Captain Xiao Ni and Captain Niu had performed their roles flawlessly and made their exit smoothly.

Ye Nai went out to see the guests off, retrieved the house deed, and the contract.

Back in the room, she closed the door and locked it.

Her parents were still sitting on the floor, and her younger siblings, clutching their handheld gaming devices, had anxious expressions on their faces. Only when Ye Nai reentered did they gather around her.

"Big sister, are we really going to lose our house?" her younger brother asked in a low voice.

"Did you all hear that?"

"We are all alive and well, aren’t we?" her second brother grumbled, puffing his cheeks.

"There’s still a chance. Mom and Dad have already redeemed the funds. We just have to wait for the market to reopen after the New Year to get the money. As long as we have the money, we can pay off the debt."

Ye Nai didn’t beat around the bush with her younger siblings; she laid out the family’s situation clearly, hinting at them to keep an eye on their parents to prevent any shenanigans.

"How much money is there? Will it be enough to pay everything off?" her younger sister grabbed her elder sister’s hand, feeling that the only person in the family who could comfort and encourage her was her eldest sister.

"There’s enough money, as long as it’s paid back on time. If the debt is paid, the house is still ours, and you won’t be thrown out."

"Mm, I don’t want to move."

"As long as we pay on time, we won’t have to move."

Ye Nai patted her younger sister’s head.

"Continue playing; I’ll finish cooking. Lunch will be simple. This afternoon, I’ll take you shopping for some new clothes. We need to look nice for the New Year."

"Yay!"

"Thank you, big sister!"

"Big sister is the best!"

The younger siblings jumped three feet high, abandoning the big problem they couldn’t handle, and happily retreated back to the balcony to continue playing with their consoles.

Ye Nai picked up the spatula near her mom’s feet but didn’t help her sitting parents up, instead rolling up her sleeves and getting to work in the kitchen.

With just two vegetables, the meal was quickly prepared and served, and the family finally sat down together at the table for the first time in half a year.

After the meal, Ye Nai still took care of the cleanup and, an hour later, left with her younger siblings.

"Aren’t you taking mom and dad with us?"

"Adult problems are not for you kids to worry about, let them stay home and think about how to repay the money. Otherwise, they’ll keep getting into trouble next time, and who will solve it for them? Rely on me? It’s already good enough that I can support myself without asking for money at home."

"Yeah, if we can’t repay the money, we’ll have to move out and rent a place. Big sister, can we live with you?"

"No, the danger zone is a place for earning money, not for the elderly and children to live in daily. There isn’t even any roadside greenery, because they fear that some sunning green belts might suddenly spout a mutant plant with sharp teeth and claws attacking humans."

"Like the mutant beast in the community last year? That slimy thing that somehow burrowed under the community, it’s still a mystery."

"Exactly, and that was just a mutant beast. Mutant plants are even more sneaky, especially those with mimetic abilities that blend in with the environment. It’s just a question of who’s unlucky."

"Eek, that’s scary."

"That’s why we must keep the house until each of you comes of age, either goes to college out of town or works out of town."

"We will definitely study hard."

Only the four of them were in the elevator, and the younger siblings loudly promised.

Ye Nai tousled each of their heads as the elevator reached the first floor, and the four siblings quickly walked out to the street to catch the bus.

They headed straight for the pedestrian street in the city center, where there were comprehensive malls and various small shops.

"Big sister, where are we going to buy clothes?"

"To the mall, a thousand-yuan budget for each person, buy what you like."

"A thousand?!" In disbelief, the siblings were overjoyed, "Really a thousand?"

"Really, a thousand for each."

"Hooray!"

Excited, the siblings ran into the mall, found the teenager clothing section on the fourth floor from the guide sign, and dashed up the escalator one step ahead of the other. Ye Nai, walking behind them, lost sight of them in the blink of an eye.

It was the 13th day of the Lunar New Year, and the mall was bustling with people. Ye Nai wasn’t worried about them buying recklessly. In East Ridge City, where there weren’t many wealthy people, it was hard to strut around, and in the mall’s supermarket, you wouldn’t see astonishingly expensive items. One thousand yuan was enough for a teenager to buy a new outfit, and if they were frugal, it might even cover a new pair of shoes.

She made her way through the crowd to the fourth floor, only to see her siblings rushing out of one store and turning into the next one, and then running out a few minutes later to dash into another store.

She stood outside the shop, waiting for them, and when the siblings came out again empty-handed, she caught each one of them.

"It’s packed in here, what are you doing running around like crazy?"

Ye Nai gave each of them a slap on the head without any courtesy.

After the slap, the over-excited siblings finally calmed down, taking deep breaths.

"We’ve never been to this mall before; we’re too excited."

"No more craziness, browse properly; we have all afternoon to shop," Ye Nai pointed at her twin brothers, "Especially you two, pick carefully, either buy the same thing or different things, but no regrets after purchasing, no fighting over it. Got it?"

"We got it."

The two brothers hung their heads in response; they were the wildest just now, teenage boys like monkey cubs, brimming with energy. Their little sister, being small and having short legs, couldn’t keep up with them.

They still needed their big sister, a few slaps, and they quieted down.
