After saying that, he took off running again, until he was far away from the pharmaceutical factory's residential compound.

Fang Huilan fainted, Lin Guanghui ran away, leaving only Lin Sisi. As a result, she quickly became the target of the creditors' attacks.

"Your mom and brother don't care, so we'll have to ask you for it."

Lin Sisi wiped away her tears in fright: "I really have no money right now, no money at all."

The creditors were aware of their difficulties, and their visit to the Lin family was intended to inform the rest of the Lin family that Lin Heping owed them money and that he could not repay it, thus preventing his family from defaulting on their debts in the future.

"We don't have the money now, but pay it back as soon as you have it, or we'll never let you off the hook."

"Come back in a few days. If we don't urge you, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay you back."

As soon as the creditors left, Fang Huilan, who was lying on the ground, quietly opened one eye, but she did not get up immediately, for fear that the creditors would come back again.

After a while, once she was sure the creditors had completely left, she stood up from the ground.

Damn it, last time she pretended to faint and Lin Qingyan tricked Shiva, so she's experienced this time. How could she not know those people's tricks?

No matter what methods the other party uses to provoke her, she must maintain sufficient composure.

Lin Sisi said, "Mom, those people want us to pay back Dad's debt, but where are we going to get the money? Oh, what about Lin Qingyan? Let Lin Qingyan pay it back."

“She has severed ties with your father,” Fang Huilan sighed.

What should she do if the creditors come again?

Lin Sisi suddenly remembered something else: Lin Heping had been arrested and owed so much debt. Their house was also going to be taken away. Lin Heping was of no use to her; on the contrary, he was a burden.

She cannot let Lin Heping implicate her future marriage to Gu Mingzhou, so she must sever ties with Lin Heping no matter what.

"Mom, Dad's imprisonment will affect my marriage with Mingzhou. I want to cut ties with him."

"Okay, let's break it off then."

Fang Huilan did not object at all. She would still need to rely on this daughter in the future, and she could not block her daughter's path to becoming a military officer's wife.

"Okay, then let's get this done as soon as possible."

On the train

Another afternoon passed by in the blink of an eye, and it was time for dinner.

Du Xiaoyue took out a steamed bun made from two kinds of dough from her bag and ate it with the chili sauce from the can.

Lin Qingyan handed her a braised egg, and Du Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, "How can I take your things?" She didn't have anything so good to exchange with the other party.

"You watched my luggage for me at noon, I appreciate it." Lin Qingyan understood how precious food was these days. An egg might not be worth much in later generations, but now it could be compared to abalone and seafood.

She stuffed the egg into Du Xiaoyue's hand, then quickly took out a steamed bun and pushed her sauce jar toward Lin Qingyan: "This was prepared for me by my mother, please don't mind it."
