Chapter 27 Who doesn’t have a wife?

Jiang Yining understood and smiled. "Aunt, I was planning to call you tomorrow. I wanted to have dinner with you and pay back the 200,000 yuan I owed my uncle."

Ying Yun asked in surprise, "Ningning, where did you get so much money?"

She originally just wanted Jiang Yining to pay back some of the money first and had no intention of forcing the girl. Her husband and son would not allow her to do so, and she had no choice as her family was worried about money.

Jiang Yining said embarrassedly, "Aunt, I'm married and have obtained the marriage certificate, but I haven't held the wedding yet. I was thinking of bringing him back to meet my uncle in the next few days."

Ying Yun was shocked. What was important now was not the repayment of the money, but that Jiang Yining had already obtained the marriage certificate.

Her husband loves his niece, so she has to find a way to tell him this in a gentle way.

It wasn't a good idea to ask too much over the phone, so she said, "Ningning, your cousin has taken a few days off. Let's see if you guys are free to come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yining felt troubled. Her uncle's family needed money, and she could no longer pay it back slowly like before.

Jiang Yining could only call Zhang Qiao and ask her, "Qiaoqiao, can you lend me some money?"

"What's wrong?"

"My cousin wants to buy a house and wants to pay back my uncle's money as soon as possible."

Zhang Qiao asked, "How much do you need?"

Jiang Yining's voice dropped several notches. "Two...two hundred thousand."

Zhang Qiao spoke frankly, "I only have 100,000 yuan in savings, but don't worry, I'll go home tonight and ask my parents for another 100,000 yuan."

Hearing Zhang Qiao say this, Jiang Yining breathed a sigh of relief, "Qiaoqiao, thank you."

Zhang Qiao laughed and said, "Why are you being so polite to me?"

After ending the call, Jiang Yining washed his hands. As soon as he turned around, he saw He Chi standing outside the kitchen. His thick black eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his expression was a little cold.

He Chi didn't know how long he had been standing there, but looking at his reaction, Jiang Yining understood that he had heard everything.

She knew that He Chi was angry, angry that she would rather borrow money from others than use her own family's money.

Jiang Yining bit her lip and sighed secretly.

A too big house is not necessarily a good thing.

She raised her head and looked directly at He Chi, her eyes very stubborn. "I know this money is a small matter to you, but this is the money my mother owes for her medical treatment. I have to pay it back myself."

Although He Chi handed over the family's financial power to her, Jiang Yining found it difficult to convince herself to spend He Chi's money with peace of mind.

Jiang Yining was not sure whether he and He Chi could continue to be together.

She didn't want He Chi to look down on her.

He Chi saw tears welling up in her eyes and frowned. He walked forward and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.

"You should pay it back. I didn't tell you not to. Why are you crying?"

He spoke in a gentle tone, as if he was coaxing her.

Jiang Yining didn't want to cry but she couldn't hold back her tears.

"I didn't cry."

He Chi chuckled, "Well, you didn't cry, it's just that your eyes burned when you were cutting tomatoes just now."

Jiang Yining was amused by his words.

He took Jiang Yining to sit on the sofa in the living room and patiently reasoned with her, "Two hundred thousand is nothing to our family, but it may be a considerable amount of money to your friend's family."

"They're not in a rush to use the money now, but everyone has emergencies in life. If they do need it urgently, where are you going to find them two hundred thousand yuan?"

Jiang Yining sat on the sofa, but He Chi stood.

She suddenly became at a loss, raised her eyes and looked at He Chi, "I..."

Jiang Yining couldn't deny what He Chi said.

He Chi added, "I guess my uncle borrowed quite a bit of money from you guys back then. If you had put that money in a bank deposit for nine years, you would have earned quite a bit of interest."

"My advice is not just to pay off the money you owe."

He looked at Jiang Yining and said, "Because in the eyes of others, your current situation is much better than theirs, while they are in urgent need of money. They helped you in the past, and now it's their turn to need help, but you haven't shown any appreciation at all. This might have chilled their hearts in helping you in the first place."

Jiang Yining lowered his eyes in deep thought.

When my mother was sick, my uncle gave them hundreds of thousands of yuan, and later lent them another 400,000 yuan.

Her father hardly paid back the money until she started working.

Originally, my uncle's family was in pretty good condition, but a few years ago, he fell seriously ill and has not been working since then. He has been recuperating at home.

My uncle now needs to take Chinese medicine every day, and the medicine alone costs a lot every month.

My aunt couldn't go to work because she had to take care of my uncle.

Even so, they didn't ask her to pay back the money.

Now because her cousin is getting married, her aunt has no choice but to call her.

For ordinary families, if the younger generation wants to get married and buy a house, it will almost empty the family savings.

She wanted to pay back the money, and it would be best if she could also pay back the money her uncle had given to her mother for her medical treatment.

There was no way Qiaoqiao could lend her so much money.

Jiang Yining looked up at He Chi. He had originally thought that he could solve the problem by himself, but he didn't expect that he still had to rely on He Chi.

She bit her lip and asked, "He Chi, can you lend me 500,000 first?"

"It's borrowing, not taking."

He Chi hummed, "But I have a condition."

"you say."

"Originally, the word 'borrow' shouldn't be used between husband and wife. If you insist on paying the money back yourself, I'll let you do it, but only this once."

He Chi said in a slightly serious tone, "Since we are already married, you legally own half of any income I make. You can no longer be afraid to spend my money."

"If people knew about this, they would think that I, He Chi, was stingy with my wife. How would I survive in Lincheng in the future?"

Jiang Yining lowered her eyelashes and said, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

He Chi nodded and saw Jiang Yining lowering her head to admit her mistake. She almost cried not long ago. Her moist almond eyes looked at him stubbornly, looking very pitiful.

He reached out and gently ruffled her hair and asked, "Cook together?"

Jiang Yining remembered something and stood up first, "Wait for me first."

After saying that, Jiang Yining ran to the study.

She took out a pen and paper and said, "I need to write you an IOU first."

He Chi just followed her lead, as long as she was happy.

This money is her mother's medical expenses. Regardless of whether she is married to He Chi or not, she must pay it back.

Jiang Yining thought that she had winter and summer vacations, when she would be bored and have nothing to do. Her English was pretty good, and she had taken some translation jobs online before, which brought her extra income.

If nothing goes wrong, it should be no problem to collect this money within a few years.

After writing the IOU, Jiang Yining first sent a message to Zhang Qiao, telling her that she didn't need to go home to get the money, and then went to the kitchen with He Chi to cook dinner.

Before entering the kitchen in the evening, Jiang Yining simply tied her long hair into a side braid. She had a delicate and small face and a unique gentleness about her. Paired with light-colored clothes, she looked very elegant and refined.

He Chi thought that his gang of bastards didn’t know that he had obtained the marriage certificate.

That kid Chen Feng brags about remarrying his ex-wife in the group every day.

Who doesn’t have a wife?

During the meal, Jiang Yining told He Chi about helping Aunt Fan find a job.

He Chi said, "I'll call and ask later."

"The salary for domestic work here is not low. In fact, many people rely on connections to get in."

Jiang Yining frowned, "You mean even if they need people, it will be difficult for Aunt Fan to get in?"

Hearing this, He Chi looked at Jiang Yining with amusement, "When did I ever say that?"

Jiang Yining asked, "Didn't you just say that you can only get in through connections?"

He Chi raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Do you think your husband can't be in this 'relationship'?"
