Octogenarian, and The 90S Episode 19 Recap
> Octogenarian, and The 90S Recap
Ye Xiaomei kept calling Guo Tielin, but his phone was switched off, and Ye Xiaomei was extremely anxious. Guojiangdong and his apprentice, Xue Ding, were busy all morning and finally prepared a large table of dishes. Guojiangdong quickly invited his old friends to take their seats, and Xue Ding toasted the elders with water instead of wine.
Guo Tielin was late, and Ye Xiaomei lied that Guo Tielin's phone was constantly busy, so Guojiangdong had no choice but to dine with everyone first. Ye Xiaomei suddenly received a call from Guo Tielin. She quietly went out to meet Guo Tielin, who was hiding behind the bushes, afraid to show his face. He claimed that he had some business issues and asked Ye Xiaomei to take Guojiangdong back to the nursing home first.
Ye Xiaomei was worried that Guojiangdong would not be able to accept it, but she couldn't resist Guo Tielin's persistent pleas, so she reluctantly agreed. Ye Xiaomei used the excuse that the elders needed to go back for their medication, wanting to take them back to the nursing home as soon as possible.
Bu Gaoxing was unhappy that they were still reluctant to leave the table full of delicacies, and Guojiangdong had already set up the mahjong table, wanting to play a few rounds with everyone after dinner. Ye Xiaomei quietly told him the truth. Guojiangdong, learning that Guo Tielin was hiding outside, had no choice but to let everyone leave first. As soon as Bu Gaoxing and Grandpa Hou walked out, they saw a group of people aggressively approaching Guojiangdong's house.
Guo Tielin advised Guojiangdong to return to the nursing home for a few days and come back after he had dealt with his business matters. Guojiangdong felt too embarrassed to do so, while Guo Tielin was worried that someone would come to their house to cause trouble. No sooner had Guo Tielin finished speaking than three bosses arrived with people, demanding money. Without a word, they started moving things out of the house. Ye Xiaomei quickly called the police.
Guojiangdong forbade anyone from touching his belongings, clearly stating that the property deed was in his name. But the bosses were relentless, repeatedly claiming it was only right for a father to pay his son's debts. Guojiangdong picked up a kitchen knife and held it to his neck, threatening to die, but the bosses were unfazed. Bu Gaoxing and Grandpa Hou arrived in time to show their support. They took a stance, ready to go all out against the bosses.
Ye Xiaomei shouted loudly that she had already called the police, and only then did the bosses reluctantly leave with their people. Bu Gaoxing and Grandpa Hou were still worried, so they stood guard at the doorstep to support Guojiangdong. Guo Tielin recounted the whole story to Guojiangdong in detail. He had found a high-yield investment project, but he didn't have enough funds, so he pulled in those three bosses as partners. The investment failed, and they lost everything.
Guojiangdong wanted to know how much he had lost, but Guo Tielin was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it and refused to say. Guojiangdong tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He woke up early to find that Guo Tielin had prepared breakfast for him and left a note, advising him not to worry about the money. Just then, the police came to inquire about the situation.
Guojiangdong truthfully answered their questions and strongly defended Guo Tielin, repeatedly explaining that Guo Tielin and the bosses were business partners, everyone lost money, and there was no such thing as Guo Tielin scamming money. The police only wanted to talk to Guo Tielin to understand the situation. Guojiangdong promised that once Guo Tielin returned, he would go to the police station for investigation. Guojiangdong went out alone and immediately felt someone was following him.
He took a bus and wandered around, visiting a bank and a real estate agency for consultations. That person kept tracking him from behind. Guojiangdong approached the person and exposed him for tracking him. The person was so scared that he repeatedly explained that his boss had instructed him. Guojiangdong then went with him to the company to meet the bosses.
Guojiangdong found the three bosses together, pretended to have a heart attack, grabbed one of them, and demanded to negotiate with them, forcing them to reveal the exact amount of the loss. Guojiangdong took out two property deeds and all his savings to pay Guo Tielin's debts, but it was still far from enough. Guojiangdong pointed out to their faces that they were in the wrong, and Guo Tielin had also lost money.
Even if they sued and had Guo Tielin put in jail, he would still have no money to repay them. The three bosses discussed it privately and finally decided to accept Guojiangdong's proposal. They promised to withdraw the case at the police station as soon as possible. Guo Tielin was hiding in the car downstairs and only left once he personally saw the three bosses seeing Guojiangdong out.
That night, Guo Tielin quietly returned home and saw Guojiangdong sitting sadly on the stairs. Guo Tielin learned that Guojiangdong had sold the house to repay the debt. He wanted to confront the three bosses, but Guojiangdong firmly disagreed. Guo Tielin, in a fit of pique, threatened to run away again. Guojiangdong was furious and advised him to let go of his pitiful vanity and start over, not to wander around to avoid debts. Guojiangdong worried that Guo Sanshuang would be as unreliable as Guo Tielin.
