It was rare to have a day off, and Chen Xu was thinking about going out for a stroll. As he walked to the window, a cold breeze blew in, making him shiver, and he immediately dismissed the idea.
"It's already winter."
In the blink of an eye, it was already December. This year, the cold air arrived particularly late. New Year's was more than a month away, and it finally felt like winter.
Thinking about New Year's, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Two years ago, something happened in his family, leaving them in debt by hundreds of thousands, all borrowed from relatives. Although they never urged for repayment, owing money to others was an unpleasant feeling.
After starting work, he would send home one thousand yuan from his monthly salary to pay off the debt. Although this amount was small, he persisted.
He was afraid that if he slacked off, maybe he would never be able to repay that debt.
