Chapter 39: Pay it back, and pay it back now]

"Not much, 31,925.1 yuan for 20 years, which is 1,596.255 yuan a year, or about 133.03 yuan a month. Based on 30 days a month, it costs about 4.44 yuan a day, which is quite reasonable."

The comrade who handed over the knife showed the data and spoke with a sincere and serious tone.

"What's more, I just heard from this comrade that she bought a lot of big items, and the big boss is still working. So if you calculate it all, you are the ones who make the profit. After all, some things cannot be bought with money and tickets, and some tickets are even harder to get. Raising a child takes a lot of energy, and this comrade hasn't calculated your losses, and the salary she gets after working is not included. She is very good to you."

"I suggest that you guys stop while you are ahead, otherwise you will have to pay more for the female comrade and other expenses."

He looked at Lu Yanzhi sincerely and gave his suggestion, with a tone that was for their own good, which convinced the people around him, and the crowd of onlookers also encouraged him.

"That's true. Xiao Lu, you can give me less if you want. These are all money, not paper. There's no way I can cheat you."

Lu Yanzhi was convinced by the stranger's words and thought they made sense. However, the fees were different from what he had imagined. They were too much! How could he pay it back?

Qin Yian gave a grateful smile to the man who was an acquaintance of his.

Xia Xiulan was very angry when she heard Lu Yanzhi's questioning. She said that she should record the amount she used. Lu Yanzhi's words were a suspicion that she had falsified the accounts. She was very unhappy and retorted.

"You think raising a child is a joke. Just the food costs a lot. When she was still a baby, she ate milk powder, rice porridge, millet porridge, lean meat and vegetable porridge, which ones didn't cost money? When she grew up a little, she drank milk and maltose every day, which ones didn't cost money? Today she wants to eat meat, tomorrow she wants to eat dumplings, and the day after tomorrow she wants to eat noodles. We all know whether these things are rare or not and whether they cost money.

After school, tuition and book fees all cost money. The child grows up day by day, and soon she can't wear clothes anymore. That will cost a lot of fabric and cloth coupons. When she grows up a little, she knows how to be beautiful, so the bras and Dacron dresses she bought are all expensive.

Later, when I saw others buying facial wipes, I wanted to buy one too . Yes, vanishing cream, clam oil, colorful hand cream, she also has to buy a separate soap for bathing, and she has to buy scented shampoo for washing her hair for her own use. These are all visible places where money is spent.

After graduating from high school, her grades were poor and she couldn't get a job. In order to prevent her from going to the countryside, she had to prepare a job for her, and it couldn't be a tiring general worker on the production line.

After working, it was inconvenient to come home from work, and she wanted a watch and a bicycle. Well, we bought them for her. We all have eyes. The comrades in the family compound can see what kind of life she lives. "

This luxurious life, envy, jealousy and hatred, is all the life that the original sister should have enjoyed, but in the end it was turned around. Well, let's not talk about it.

"Old Xia, don't get angry with yourself. There's no need to pay attention to the ungrateful person. We all see it. Your family has done nothing wrong to that girl."

The crowd nodded. It was true that the Qin family had raised this daughter, and all the girls in the family were jealous of her. They lived a really good life. They gave her all the good things and whatever she wanted.

Qin Jiaguo pointed at the account book and said,

"Lu family boy, if you don't believe me, take the account book and check it yourself. Go to the place where the things were sold one by one. There are purchase records. Qin Sitian knows what kind of life she lives. I can give you the account book if you want it. I'll go to the printing factory and print you a dozen copies later."

After saying that, he comforted his wife.

"It's okay. Our own daughter is fine. There's no need to worry about other people's popularity."

Xia Xiulan was really angry. She spent so much energy, money and effort, but all she got was doubt. And the adopted daughter who was carefully raised was reluctant to give up all this. In order not to leave, she made such a fuss in public. Isn't it just to force them? Dream on.

Qin Yian patted Xia Xiulan's back to soothe her emotions.

Then she looked at Lu Yanzhi who dared not speak and was stunned in place, "You heard it all, you should know that the actual cost is far more than what my mother said. You can go back and ask your own mother how much effort she spent on you, maybe you can understand better."

How could he know that the amount would be so huge.

Big beads of sweat appeared on Lu Yanzhi's forehead.

Qin Sitian was about to collapse behind him. This tiny amount of expense made her feel ashamed and embarrassed. She was also very worried. She was worried about what Lu Yanzhi thought of her and whether Lu Yanzhi would fulfill his previous promise. She wanted to faint and shirk her debts, but she knew that as long as she dared to lie down, Qin Yian would dare to use the knife.

Qin Yian looked at the colorful changes on the two people's faces and said:

"Also, I have to remind you that my parents didn't even think about settling these bills at the beginning. They never thought about asking Qin Sitian to return the things, including the expenses for 20 years. You begged us to return them to us. Qin Sitian said that she would return everything to me, and she said so more than once. You said you didn't want it and wanted it all to be returned. Qin Sitian said it was up to you. Just before I mentioned the amount, I reminded you that you might not be able to pay it back. Everyone here can still remember all my words clearly."

"Yes, the witnesses are here." The crowd of onlookers raised their hands.

Qin Yian pointed at the note in Xia Xiulan's hand and said, "Look, the document you wrote is still here, signed and fingerprinted. We are all witnesses, but we are not forcing you to return it."

The other onlookers echoed one after another, staring at the two people in the middle with their eyes like nails.

Lu Yanzhi was flustered and hesitated to speak: "This...this..."

He said this for a long time, but nothing came out.

"Hurry up and return it." Qin Yian was impatient and got angry. He threw the kitchen knife in his hand, passing through the gap between Lu Yanzhi's legs and pants, and fell to the ground. The whole knife sank into the ground, leaving only a wooden handle outside.

"Ah——"

That...that knife brushed his flesh and fell...to the ground!!!

Lu Yanzhi looked down in horror and saw the knife under his feet. He was so scared that he almost lost his soul. He staggered back and fell to the ground. His legs kicked the ground away from the location of the kitchen knife. His boxer shorts were slightly wet. He almost peed on the ground.

The onlookers were so scared that they covered their crotches and stepped back: Oh my God! If the knife was half an inch off, it would definitely cut off Lu Yanzhi's two taels of meat, and both legs would be cut.

Qin Sitian was the closest and felt the wind of the kitchen knife most directly. She was not much better than Lu Yanzhi. She was paralyzed on the ground behind Lu Yanzhi. This time she almost fainted. She pinched herself with her fingernails to avoid fainting.

"Return it back, we... didn't say we wouldn't return it, a real man... once a man has spoken, there is no reason to regret. Return it now, start, start now."

Lu Yanzhi's voice was trembling, and he could hardly speak clearly, but he still spoke respectfully and politely to Qin Yian.

"We have returned the work and the big items. Please help me deduct the fees."
