Chapter 82 Asking for Money

The next day, Jiang Ning steamed buns early in the morning. She had arranged to meet Jiang Ting at ten o'clock, but Shen Mo hadn't come home by nine o'clock, so Jiang Ning decided not to wait any longer.

She left a note at home telling Shen Mo that she had gone to the city, and that she had also steamed some buns so he could heat them up when he got home.

*

After several days of close surveillance, Shen Mo and Li Tuan finally caught Feng Chuan meeting with a stranger on the mountain last night. They caught him red-handed and arrested him without lifting a finger.

Commander Li was standing outside the interrogation room watching Feng Chuan being questioned inside. When Shen Mo walked in, Commander Li gave her a thumbs up, saying, "The credit for this goes to my sister-in-law."

Feng Chuan sat in the interrogation room, looking dejected and listless, a far cry from the spirited young man he once was when he was a primary school teacher.

Shen Mo had been talking to his wife about Feng Chuan these past few days and learned that Feng Chuan had arranged several 'chance encounters' with his wife while he was away.

His wife's appearance is indeed attractive, and he's already considering having her learn some martial arts from him.

For the past few days, Shen Mo and his men have been keeping an eye on Feng Chuan. Commander Li was worried that Shen Mo was getting tired, so he told him to go back and rest, saying, "Leave the rest of the interrogation to me."

Shen Mo nodded. Commander Li was more experienced in interrogation.

Fearing his wife would dislike him, Shen Mo even took a shower beforehand.

However, when he got home, he was not greeted by his sweet and soft wife, but by a cold note.

Looking at the words on the note, Shen Mo didn't go to steam the buns, but turned and left the yard.

He borrowed a car from the military base and then headed to the city.

Judging from the time his wife left, he should be able to catch up if he drives there now.

—

Not far from the family compound, there are buses to the city center. Jiang Ning sat in the last row by the window, watching the scenery flash by outside.

Jiang Ting and Lin Yufei were sitting in the seat in front of her.

As soon as they got in the car, Jiang Ting affectionately hugged Lin Yufei's arm, and then occasionally whispered something in Lin Yufei's ear in a coquettish tone, as if she were being affectionate.

Lin Yufei only responded occasionally from beginning to end, clearly not wanting to talk much.

Jiang Ning felt tired for Jiang Ting. It turned out that not everyone was like Shen Mo. At least Shen Mo never let her words fall to the ground.

Jiang Ting deliberately pulled Lin Yufei to sit in front of Jiang Ning, wanting Jiang Ning to see with her own eyes how good her relationship with Lin Yufei was and how happy she was in this life.

Jiang Ting could sense that Lin Yufei was being perfunctory when he talked to her, but she didn't feel unhappy.

After all, Lin Yufei's promise to go with her to choose a wedding dress was already enough to slap Jiang Ning in the face.

Jiang Ting suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Jiang Ning in the back seat, "Little sister, are you coming with us to choose a wedding dress? Did your brother-in-law give you the money?"

She couldn't wait to know how much money Jiang Ning's orderly husband would give her to buy her wedding dress.

If she didn't even have fifty yuan, she would laugh her head off.

"Do you need to give me money?" Jiang Ning was waiting for her to say this. Seeing the two of them being so lovey-dovey, she was wondering when Jiang Ting would bring up the matter of money with her.

She wasn't stupid; how could she not guess Jiang Ting's purpose in asking her to buy a wedding dress?

After a few encounters with Jiang Ting, she realized that Jiang Ting harbored some kind of jealousy towards her, or rather, towards Yuansheng.

The author of this novel only wrote about Jiang Ting's rebirth, but did not write about Jiang Ting's relationship with the original owner in her previous life. If they had a good relationship, she would not have sent Jiang Ning's page of household registration to marry Shen Mo, and then enjoyed the money that Shen Mo sent to the original owner every month.

She originally wanted to bring Shen Mo along to embarrass Jiang Ting, since Jiang Ting thought she had married a mere orderly. If Jiang Ting found out that the soldier she disliked was actually the deputy regimental commander, how would she react?

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Jiang Ting was slightly taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Of course my wedding dress is paid for by my sister!" Jiang Ning said with a knowing look, then sighed deeply and said helplessly, "For the past three years, you've taken the thirty yuan my husband sent home every month, a total of one thousand and eighty yuan. Have you forgotten, sister?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Ting didn't expect Jiang Ning to suddenly bring up this matter again.

Jiang Ting's voice was quite loud, and since there were other people in the car, many people's eyes fell on her.

Jiang Ting didn't care about the strangers' stares. When she saw Lin Yufei's strange gaze fall on her, her mind raced and she quickly came up with an excuse.

“Sister, there’s a limit to how much you can lie. I know your husband sends you money every month, but he’s just a soldier, and his salary is only thirty yuan a month at most. How could he send you that much money every month? At most, it’s only ten yuan. Didn’t you use that money yourself?”

She said that, but in her heart she still missed her husband from her previous life. A soldier who was willing to send almost all of his salary to his wife at home was a pretty good person.

In her previous life, she lived quite comfortably for the first few years with the money Shen Mo sent home.

Unfortunately, he died young, leaving her to live a life of widowhood.

"Ten yuan?" Jiang Ning shook her head, then looked down to feel the remittance receipt in her bag. "But my husband said he sends thirty every month, and I still have the remittance receipt here."

Jiang Ting's expression changed when she heard about the remittance receipt.

How could Jiang Ning have a remittance receipt!

How did this illiterate person know that there are things like remittance receipts?

Before Jiang Ning could even pull out the remittance receipt, Lin Yufei suddenly spoke up, "Enough. Talk about this when no one's around. What are you talking about now?"

Lin Yufei was used to being arrogant, and during the argument just now, many people around them kept glancing in their direction. He didn't like being treated like an object of observation.

Lin Yufei's words were directed at Jiang Ting and Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ting is now almost completely dependent on Lin Yufei, and she has never argued with him.

Jiang Ning had always been timid, so she dared not...

Then she saw Jiang Ning pull out a stack of remittance receipts without hesitation. "These are remittance receipts, a total of thirty-six. Each one has the remittance time and amount written on it."

Jiang Ning just wants the money Shen Mo sends back every month; what does his attitude matter to her?

Jiang Ting was surprised that Jiang Ning actually pulled out that damn remittance receipt. When she saw Lin Yufei going to take the remittance receipt, she made a move to snatch the documents from Jiang Ning's hand.

Jiang Ning had anticipated her actions; before Jiang Ting even touched the receipt, she withdrew her hand.

“Sister, you can just show this to your brother-in-law. You definitely don’t have that much money to pay me back, right?” Jiang Ning pulled out one of the bills and handed it to Jiang Linyufei. “Sister, don’t say you haven’t received any money. There’s always an identity verification process for receiving money. Take my household registration page to collect the money. The postman recognizes my household registration page, and he recognizes you too.”

Jiang Ning had no intention of giving the other party a chance to breathe. "Sister, we agreed that the money was a loan for your studies, and you would pay me back with your dowry after you get married."

Jiang Ning didn't say she stole it.

She deliberately made it sound like she was borrowing money to repay it, but she wasn't actually trying to save face for Jiang Ting.

Judging from Jiang Ting's appearance, it was obvious that she didn't have much money. Her goal was to get the money back from Jiang Ting. Since Jiang Ting had no money, her fiancé would naturally have to pay it back.

Lin Yufei and Jiang Ting are only engaged, not married.

If he said it was for studying and borrowing money, Lin Yufei certainly wouldn't let his fiancée actually be carrying such a debt.

Jiang Ting was both ashamed and angry. She didn't dare to look at Lin Yufei's expression at all. If Jiang Ning didn't produce strong evidence, she could still get away with it.
