Chapter 742: Breach of Contract Penalty
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Xu and Zhang Kun acted as if nothing had happened.
When they returned to the master bedroom, Li Xu smiled and asked Zhang Kun, “Are you going to boil the medicine, or should I?”
After returning from the hospital in the afternoon, Zhang Kun went out to buy a large bucket for Ji Zi’ang to soak his legs in at three or four in the afternoon.
It was because Tangtang was there just now. She was afraid the smell of the Chinese medicine would be too strong and choke the child.
Since Tangtang wasn’t here anymore, they could boil the medicine.
It was only ten o’clock now, and it would be eleven o’clock by the time he finished soaking. They could make it in time.
“I’ll do it. I’m familiar with the kitchen.” Zhang Kun whispered.
Li Xu didn’t fight with him, “Alright, remember to use the water in the bucket next to you to boil the medicine. It’s better to use tap water. Yuanyuan said so.”
The bucket next to the kitchen was not filled with tap water, but the water Ji Yuanyuan had secretly put in.
However, in order to prevent Zhang Kun from getting suspicious, Li Xu still explained.
“Understood.” Zhang Kun nodded.
In order to brew medicine for Ji Zi’ang, Zhang Kun bought two new pots.
It was the kind of pot that was relatively deep. It was probably just enough to boil two buckets at once.
In less than ten minutes, the entire room was filled with the smell of Chinese medicine.
Half an hour later, the Chinese medicine was ready.
After turning off the fire, Zhang Kun opened all the windows in the kitchen.
Firstly, it could disperse the smell, and secondly, it could make the Chinese medicine cool down faster.
After another 15 minutes, the Chinese medicine was finally cold enough to soak his feet.
Zhang Kun poured the two pots of Chinese medicine into a bucket and carried them into Ji Zi’ang’s room with Li Xu.
Ji Zi’ang was very cooperative.
When Ji Zi’ang’s leg was placed in the deep bucket, Li Xu and Zhang Kun asked nervously, “How is it? Do you feel anything?”
Looking at the two of them, he could not help but laugh.
“Even if an immortal came, it would be impossible for it to take effect so quickly.”
Li Xu and Zhang Kun were embarrassed, “True, true.”
Seeing his parents’ disappointed expressions, he paused for a moment before saying, “I can feel it now. It feels warm inside my knees. It’s quite comfortable.”
Hearing this, Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other and saw joy in each other’s eyes.
By the time they were done cleaning up the mess, it was already past eleven o’clock at night.
Before Li Xu went to sleep, she remembered the bank card on the top of the cabinet.
She took it back and placed it on the bedside table, “Since Weiwei doesn’t want it, then forget it. We’ll subsidize them more. In two months’ time, we could use the money in this account to open another branch.”
Unlike Li Xu’s radical attitude, Zhang Kun had reservations, “We have to keep some money on hand to deal with some unexpected situations.”
Li Xu whispered, “How can there be so many unexpected situations? Zi’ang won’t be able to get married for a while. There’s nothing to spend money on.”
However, Li Xu’s slap came very quickly.
On the weekends, the money was needed.
The news that Ji Zi’ang was injured and could no longer race could not be hidden from the club.
Moreover, this kind of thing could not be hidden for too long.
Back then, Ji Zi’ang had signed a ten-year contract with the club, but it had not even been five years.
Ji Zi’ang had just gained some international fame before he was crippled.
It was a massive loss for the club.
If Ji Zi’ang could not continue to create value for the club, it would be a breach of contract.
He needed to pay the club a penalty of three million yuan.
All these years, he had not saved much money.
He had only made his mark for a year or two, so he hadn’t participated in many competitions.
Moreover, most of the prize money from winning the tournament went into the club’s pocket, and he got very little.
As for his share of the prize money, almost half of it was spent on the competition.
The club did not manage everything. There were many places where money was needed.
Most of the remaining money was spent on Fan Yumeng.
Therefore, after graduating for a few years, Ji Zi’ang only had five figures in savings.
Tens of thousands and three million were hundreds of times different.
However, he did not want Li Xu and Zhang Kun to fork out the money.
With his current situation, it was still unknown what would happen in the future.
If he could not compete in the future, he would definitely not be able to pay back the money.
Therefore, when he found out that he needed to pay the penalty, his first reaction was to sell the car.
The only valuable thing he had on him now was that racing car.
However, he could not go out now, so he could only entrust his friend to handle it.
If he sold the car, he could get at least a few hundred thousand yuan.
Use these hundreds of thousands to stall the club.
He would slowly think of a way to get the rest of the money.
However, Li Xu still accidentally overheard his conversation.
“There’s still two million yuan in the family account. You can use it first. Your father and I will think of a way to get the rest.” Li Xu pushed the door open and said directly.
Ji Zi’ang’s phone feel and broken, he asked angrily, “Mom, why didn’t you knock when you came in?”
He said after a paused, “You don’t have to worry about this matter. I’ll think of a way myself.”
Li Xu sighed helplessly, “Your father and I are earning money for who? Isn’t it for you, three siblings? When you were young, I wanted you to live a better life. I wanted you to buy whatever you wanted and not envy other people’s children. I hope you can all do what you like and not have to work hard for a living. If you are not willing to use our money when something happens, then what is the point of us making money?”
Zhang Kun also came over.
“Yeah, the string of numbers on the bank account is really not attractive to us.”
Ji Zi’ang lowered his head and did not speak.
“Why are you so stubborn? How about this, this money isn’t for you. It’s a loan. You can pay us back with interest when you have money, okay?”
Now, this was the only way.
Ji Zi’ang’s expression was a little awkward. After a moment of silence, he looked up at Li Xu, “Ask Big Brother and Yuanyuan to come over tonight. We can’t hide this from them.”
His parents had always been fair.
He bought houses for all three of them, and the value was about the same. They bought a car for Big Brother, a racing car for him, and a dowry for Yuanyuan.
He couldn’t hide the two million from Big Brother and Yuanyuan. If they knew about it in the future, they might feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, his situation was different from that of his Big Brother and Yuanyuan.
Big Brother and Yuanyuan were biological, but he was not.
Logically speaking, he shouldn’t even wish for a house.
“Alright.” Li Xu agreed immediately.
After all, they were her children, so Li Xu understood Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan.
The two of them had no objections to this matter and would take the initiative to lend money to Zi’ang.
Li Xu was very proud of this.
The three children in their family were sincere to each other. They would never turn against each other for money..
