Earning 100 yuan in three days is beyond my capabilities.

You can only borrow it.

But from whom should I borrow it?

None of the people around them would help, especially since Zhang Fuqiang swaggered in with his men today. The neighbors all know they're in trouble, so they're even less likely to lend a hand. The only way is to go to the loan sharks...

Of course, it couldn't possibly be a legitimate loan sharking operation, since they couldn't offer any collateral. Their so-called lending was, of course, illegal usury.

"Loan sharks?" Xu Fangfang, who had just been crying, now shouted in a shrill voice.

Do you think you can afford to mess with loan sharks?

Even compared to loan sharks, Zhang Fuqiang doesn't seem so scary.

Leng Qisheng often enjoyed drinking and gambling with his cronies. He could occasionally make some money to buy some alcohol. Over time, he naturally came into contact with loan sharks, since they loved gamblers.

But Leng Qisheng was still quite sensible. He would take money from Xu Fangfang, and if he won at gambling, he would buy delicious food to take home. If he lost, he would just grumble a few words. He never actually touched loan sharks.

Now, we have nowhere to turn.

Aside from loan sharks who could lend them 100 yuan, who else could?

As for how to repay...

They'll gamble on whether they can catch Leng Yingying and force her to step in and clean up this mess. If they can't catch Leng Yingying, or if she refuses to cooperate, then they'll abandon everything and take it all to the military. They'll fight to the death, and nobody will come out unscathed!

"Are you crazy? Loan sharks? Honey, what if we can't pay it back? That would be a disaster!" Xu Fangfang yelled, knowing that kind of thing was off-limits.

Leng Yaozu remained silent. He was afraid too, but he had no other choice. Pretending to be stupid was his best option at the moment.

Even if things get to the worst point, since the money was borrowed by Leng Qisheng, he can disown them and run away.

"Besides loan sharks, who else can lend us 100 yuan? And within three days?" Leng Qisheng asked rhetorically.

Xu Fangfang was speechless.

No, nobody can do that. It seems that loan sharking is indeed their best and only option.

"Besides, as long as we wait for the shadow..."

Leng Qisheng didn't finish his sentence, but Xu Fangfang understood what he meant. However, she was still worried but had no choice but to compromise.

Finally, Leng Qisheng and Xu Fangfang found the loan shark, but they borrowed not just one hundred yuan, but two hundred yuan.

That's just how people are; they're never satisfied with their greed, and they never worry about having too much debt.

Anyway, with Leng Yingying as a safety net, they can borrow more money and their lives will be easier during this period.

So, three days later, when Zhang Fuqiang came to the door again, the two sides seemed to be "amiable". After taking one hundred yuan, Zhang Fuqiang did not go back on his word and left directly without shouting for violence again.

However, when the night was quiet, Xu Fangfang would occasionally worry about the two hundred yuan debt.

"Honey, we have to pay them back 250 yuan in this month. What if we don't see Da Yingzi? When it's time to pay back the money..." Thinking of this, Xu Fangfang was so worried that she couldn't sleep. She always felt like there was a knife hanging over her neck.

The family has been eating well lately, and they even bought some good wine. Leng Qisheng is living a carefree life.

Unlike Xu Fangfang, he was not prone to worry; he was very optimistic and positive.

"Why are you thinking about these things? It's impossible. In a month, you'll definitely catch a glimpse of him. Maybe you'll run into him tomorrow..." Leng Qisheng said dismissively, then turned over and closed his eyes to sleep.

Within two minutes, he started snoring.

Xu Fangfang: "..."

Things didn't go as smoothly as they had imagined.

One day, two days, a week passed, but Leng Yingying still did not appear at the shooting range.

In order not to miss anyone, Xu Fangfang would stake out the shooting range even during her rest time.

The longer it went on, the more uneasy she felt.

The two men in the house acted as if nothing was wrong, and were even enjoying themselves immensely because of the extra hundred yuan they had borrowed, while she was the only one suffering.

About two weeks later, Xu Fangfang saw that familiar luxury car again and recognized it at a glance.

"They're here!" Xu Fangfang exclaimed excitedly.

Her anxiety of the past two weeks finally dissipated somewhat at this moment, and she immediately went to inform her husband and son.

"Sister Xu, something's come up at home. Could you keep an eye on things for me? I need to get back right away. Thank you!" Xu Fangfang asked Sister Xu, who was also a cleaner, for help. She needed to hurry back and make sure Leng Yingying didn't get away.

If we miss this opportunity, who knows if we'll be able to catch someone again next time?

"Okay, then hurry up!" Seeing that Xu Fangfang was really anxious, Sister Xu agreed to help.

It's nothing serious; we usually help each other out.

Xu Fangfang quickly went home and informed them.

Upon arriving at the shooting range, Leng Qisheng and Leng Yaozu planned to rush in.

"Wait a minute!" Xu Fangfang stopped them cautiously, "We can't let this get out of hand. There are too many people at the shooting range, it won't look good if things escalate. How about we just stand guard outside? Next to their car?"

Xu Fangfang thought that this job at least provided some income, and given the uncertain future, she should try her best to keep the job.

If things escalate and she offends the boss, it will be detrimental to her.

Besides, if Leng Yingying can be persuaded to repay the money smoothly, there's no need to make things too ugly, so we can't choose a place with too many people around.

“Dad, Mom is right. My sister is about to become a battalion commander, so saving face is still important!” Leng Yaozu said.

Leng Qisheng also agreed.

They then stood guard beside the car.

With nothing else to do, Leng Yaozu walked around the car several times, touching this and that.

"Mom, whose car is this? Is the same man who came with my sister today the same one as last time?" Leng Yaozu asked, his mind already calculating.

"Yes! It's the same one!" Xu Fangfang looked very carefully; she hadn't made a mistake.

If that's the case, and this man is interested in Leng Yingying, doesn't that mean he wants to become Leng's son-in-law?

Wouldn't my future brother-in-law's car be my own car?

Suddenly, Leng Yaozu found the car even more pleasing to the eye.

"My sister is really capable. Not only did she become a battalion commander, but she also hooked up with a rich man. Our family's good days are coming..." Leng Yaozu was secretly pleased. He was trying his best to get the car into his hands so he could play with it.

He's never driven a car before. If he drove this car and took Bai Shuyao out for a spin, he'd be incredibly proud.

Let's see if that snobbish Bai Juan will dare to look down on him in the future.
