Chapter 301: Using Snuff Bottle to Pay Debt

Saving people is a troublesome thing in itself. If it were Jiang Wanwan in her previous life, she would definitely not be willing to intervene and meddle in other people's business for fear of getting into trouble.

With her experience in her previous life, she knew too well what it felt like to wait for her own death.

They are all poor and innocent women. Having experienced such pain, they cannot just stand by and watch. Of course, the prerequisite for helping others is that the person has a grateful heart.

Jiang Wanwan didn't ask them for anything in return, except to exchange her life for theirs. All she wanted was for them to help her and not to save an ungrateful person.

The remaining kindness can be regarded as her good deeds.

Jiang Wanwan was happy to see Xu Mingming had this intention, so she told her the address in Inner Mongolia and her name.

Xu Mingming wiped away her tears and said, "No matter how my life will turn out in the future, or whether I can escape from here, I will always remember your kindness."

Jiang Wanwan took the handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and took her to the hospital for treatment.

The doctor who treated Xu Mingming was a female doctor. When she saw the injuries all over her body, she couldn't help but think of her own child: "You were too cruel."

She examined him and said, "Your chest injury is quite serious. Fortunately, it didn't cause any more damage. Apply some medicine and rest. Don't injure yourself here again."

Xu Mingming nodded.

After seeing the doctor, Jiang Wanwan took her to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food.

The poor cake was soft, like a fat little flower, with a soft golden color inside and a dark brown outside. It was soft and fragrant. Xu Mingming ate three poor cakes in one breath.

She stretched her neck to swallow the last bite of the cake, drank a sip of warm water brought by the salesperson, and finally swallowed the food in her throat.

"I'm stuffed."

Jiang Wanwan packed up the rest and took it away. She didn't give it to Xu Mingming. Now it would be useless to give her anything as it would all be taken away by Ma Xiaojuan and her daughter.

When we returned to the tube-shaped building, it was almost time for dinner. The female comrades who were in charge of cooking in their families gathered in the public washroom and corridor.

The sounds of cooking, complaints about running out of rice and not being able to prepare four dishes for the New Year, and the sound of fetching water could be heard one after another.

Jiang Wanwan listened to the whole story from beginning to end and felt that, let alone whether women comrades could hold up half the sky, just being able to feed a family of ten people with an empty rice jar was already amazing.

Everyone looked at her unfamiliar face and sized her up.

The smoke-blackened walls had always been the corridor for daily necessities. Suddenly, a pretty girl with a fair complexion and a beauty like a flower came here, and the aunt and her sister-in-law were eager to make a move.

The first person to speak was the neighbor lady who was more familiar with Xu Mingming: "The old Xu's girl is back, is this comrade yours?"

Xu Mingming's mouth was still swollen, and speaking would hurt the wound: "She is me..."

She subconsciously wanted to say her distant sister.

Jiang Wanwan took over her words and said with a smile: "I am Ma Xiaojuan's creditor. She owes my family money. I came here to ask for it."

The little girl is lively, her voice is deep and she looks full of energy.

From what she said, the auntie felt that she not only had energy, but also financial resources.

But... Ma Xiaojuan and her daughter are still borrowing money from outside?

No way!

It’s not my fault that the old lady and the people around her don’t believe it, it’s mainly because…

Whoever sees Zhao Lihua and Ma Xiaojuan will praise them for their good fortune.

The mother and daughter came from a small place and had no education at all. Now the mother has a house and money, and the daughter married well, had a baby, and has a job.

At the end of every month, they would tighten their belts and save food. Ma Xiaojuan and Zhao Lihua would eat biscuits if they couldn't get meat. They ate good food. Even though they had a baby who was not even as big as a nose at home, they didn't have to cut back on food and clothing to raise the baby.

When you compare yourself with others, you will envy them to death.

The old lady clicked her tongue and said, "That's impossible. I heard from Ma Xiaojuan that there is a very rich old man in their hometown. He sees that they have a hard time and gives them money every month. The old man's daughter even gives Ma Xiaojuan some almond honey that she can't use up."

With such relatives, people can borrow money from outside. Is this female comrade lying?

Jiang Wanwan lowered her voice and said, "Ah, Ma Xiaojuan told you that, that's not..."

"That money was clearly borrowed by her. I'm here to collect the debt."

It turns out that Fu Hansheng was not a nameless person, but a wealthy man.

"Just listen to her, Auntie. She's very proud. I'll take the money and go home. Don't ask her in person."

Jiang Wanwan instructed with some embarrassment.

After learning such a shocking piece of news, the old lady would definitely not tell anyone in front of Ma Xiaojuan.

Ma Xiaojuan is not someone who is easy to get along with. Only a fool would approach her and ask her questions.

Jiang Wanwan revealed Ma Xiaojuan's affairs and took Xu Mingming back.

They came back at the right time. Ma Xiaojuan's mother came up with more than 1,300 yuan, but she couldn't take out the rest. She wanted to take advantage of Jiang Wanwan's absence to say something nice to Shen Xingjiang.

"Young man, I have tried my best, but I can't come up with any money at all."

"Can we please make some compromise and let the rest go?"

Zhao Lihua felt pain in her heart when she looked at the money on the table.

Shen Xingjiang sat upright on the chair, his handsome face showing no sign of compromise. He tapped the table with his hand: "One cent less, one cent less, not even one cent."

Ma Xiaojuan's child was still crying, and she was trying to comfort him in the room. When she heard this, she called Zhao Lihua in and shouted, "Mom! There's an unopened bottle of almond honey and two jars of malted milk in the drawer. Oh, and my dad also has a snuff bottle. Take it out and give it to them."

The remaining two hundred yuan was too much to be scraped out from between my teeth.

As soon as Jiang Wanwan stepped into the door, she heard the word "snuff bottle".

"You guys are so calculating. You just pick up something and try to fool us."

When Shen Xingjiang saw that his little woman was belittling him before he even saw her, he knew what she was up to.

He put on a stern face and cooperated with Jiang Wanwan.

What Ma Xiaojuan would take out later was something interesting. He put on a stern face and pretended to be reluctant. He wanted them to take the things away without feeling at a disadvantage and think that he was dissatisfied.

If something is not good, you can also take the opportunity to refuse it and ask them to compensate with something else.

Neither Shen Xingjiang nor Jiang Wanwan were willing to do so. They could attack or defend and would never let themselves suffer any loss.

Zhao Lihua found the snuff bottle and showed it to Jiang Wanwan: "Comrade, please take a good look. This is a good thing. It was left to me by my ex-husband."

Jiang Wanwan glanced at it casually without answering: "You said it's a good thing, so it's a good thing?"

"Other people's snuff bottles are transparent, but the one in your hand has a green lid and a pink bottle. There are no figurines inside. It looks like it's worthless."
