Ruan Qiqi had originally thought that she would not charge for those small items, after all, she had been Lu Jiefang's girlfriend for a while, but now she decided that she would even charge for the rubber bands.
Lu Jiefang is a bit stupid, but he is still very kind to his girlfriend. He has given her so many expensive gifts. It’s okay for Xu Lina to break up, but it’s a bit of a scumbag for her to get together with other men before the breakup.
She is not targeting anyone but the matter, and this time she supports Lu Jiefang.
Ruan Qiqi counted the bill again. She included rubber bands, hair flowers, handkerchiefs, socks, breakfast, movie tickets, snacks and other small items. She thought that this idiot Lu Jiefang should not be a soldier. He should be an accountant. He would definitely be able to do the job.
This is a huge amount. The accounts receivable directly increased to 360.8 yuan.
Xu Lina sat there bored. She had looked at her watch countless times. Time passed so slowly!
The new boyfriend said he would take her to the Xiangjiang Hotel for Western food in the evening. Lu Jiefang had never taken her there before. Every time she mentioned it, Lu Jiefang said that Western food was not tasty and that Hunan cuisine was more flavorful.
Humph, you are so stingy, you deserve to suffer at the border!
Xu Lina didn't know that Lu Jiefang really didn't like Western food. He had eaten it once and never ate it again. He also listed Western food as one of the most unpalatable foods, so naturally he wouldn't take her to eat it.
Ruan Qiqi saw Xu Lina sitting lazily and yawning from afar. The shiny women's watch on her wrist was very eye-catching. It was obviously the one given by Lu Jiefang.
She walked over and knocked on the glass window a few times.
"Why are you knocking? Can you afford to pay for it if it breaks?"
Xu Lina didn't even turn her head and cursed angrily.
"Have you finished cleaning the toilet?"
Ruan Qiqi asked coldly.
Xu Lina's face changed drastically. She turned around suddenly and saw the person she hated. She stood up suddenly and cursed, "What does it have to do with you whether I clean the toilet or not? Your father-in-law is in trouble, why are you still being so arrogant in front of me? Get out of here!"
"This watch was given to you by Lu Jiefang, right? And the hairpin on your head, the leather shoes on your feet, the radio your father listened to, the ginseng your mother ate, the cigarettes your brother smoked, the malted milk and snacks your nephew ate...
Tsk, if you calculate it, your whole family is supported by my Lu Jiefang. Before you even get married, my Jiefang has spent 380.9 yuan. This amount of money can marry ten women in the countryside. But you, on the one hand, took my Jiefang's money, and on the other hand, you're having an affair with another man. Is it fun to have two relationships at the same time?"
Ruan Qiqi's call immediately attracted many customers, and several others recognized them at a glance.
After all, there was a big event a while ago, and they were all pretty girls, so the impression was particularly deep.
"Girl, has your brother-in-law broken up with this woman?" someone asked loudly.
"It's not a breakup. My brother-in-law took the initiative to apply to go to the border to defend the country. As a result, as soon as my brother-in-law left, this woman got together with other men. My brother-in-law suffered a lot at the border.
This woman is a philanderer in the city, cheating on my brother-in-law. I cannot swallow this. Since you are having an affair with another man, please convert the valuables my brother-in-law gave you into cash and return them. The total is 380.9 yuan. Here is the bill!"
Ruan Qiqi spoke clearly, logically, and with solid evidence, and everyone's opinion immediately tilted in her favor.
What's more, Lu Jiefang went to the border to defend his country. What a good young man he was. This woman is so shameless and immoral!
"That's right, since you don't want to be on good terms with them, you have to return the things!"
"Three hundred and eighty yuan, how can you have the nerve to pay for so much?"
"I guess she relies on her pretty face to cheat people out of money!"
…
Everyone blamed Xu Lina and their words were quite harsh.
"I didn't cheat the money. Lu Jiefang gave it to me voluntarily. I didn't ask him for it."
Xu Lina was angry and ashamed, and she defended herself loudly with tears in her eyes.
"Did my brother-in-law agree with you playing two women at the same time?" Ruan Qiqi asked back.
"I'm not two-timing. You're talking nonsense. I started dating someone after I broke up with Lu Jiefang."
Xu Lina shouted in a timid manner, not daring to look Ruan Qiqi in the eye, feeling very guilty.
She was sorry to Lu Jiefang about this matter, but it was the Lu family's fault, so she had no choice.
"My brother-in-law went to the border on April 25th, and you and your new partner Yu Xiangqian went to the movies and the park on the 26th. My brother-in-law called you on May 2nd, and that's when you broke up. Xu Lina, you and Yu Xiangqian were always together, and everyone in the department store saw it. Do you want me to find someone to prove it?"
Ruan Qiqi had a mocking look on her face. Xu Lina was too arrogant. She and Yu Xiangqian always went out together and never avoided people. Many people saw them, so it was not difficult to investigate.
Xu Lina's face became paler and paler, and her lips were bloodless. She felt guilty and had no courage to defend herself. She just said weakly, "I didn't. I found someone after we broke up..."
But no one believed her.
Ruan Qiqi had solid evidence and mentioned the time and names. Xu Lina could tell at a glance that she was guilty. The public has sharp eyes and they knew who to believe at a glance.
Everyone looked at Xu Lina with disdain, and some even cursed: "You shameless slut, you should be sent to clean toilets!"
Xu Lina's body was shaking and her face turned even paler. She had been sweeping toilets for a week and was almost sick to death. She would rather die than sweep toilets again.
Ruan Qiqi sneered and said slowly, "I remember your job was to clean the toilets, how come you're back selling shoes after just one week? Could it be that the department store is really owned by your family?"
"There is a misunderstanding here, comrade, please listen to my explanation!"
The manager ran over breathlessly. When he saw Ruan Qiqi from afar, his head was blown away. But he had to come over anyway, otherwise he would really worry about his job.
The manager glared at Xu Lina fiercely and made up his mind that he would never cover up for his sister-in-law this time. He had said long ago that even if they wanted to break up, it would take some time and they must not have two relationships at the same time. But his father-in-law and his family would not listen to him at all and only wanted to climb up the social ladder.
"She is just taking over the shift today. She will go to sweep the toilet tomorrow and will continue to do so in the future. If female comrades don't believe me, they can come to supervise me!" the manager assured.
Xu Lina opened her mouth to protest, but the manager glared at her fiercely, and she was so scared that she dared not say a word.
"Your name is Zhang Jinbu?"
Ruan Qiqi asked.
"right."
The manager nodded.
Ruan Qiqi called him aside and said, "Let's put the matter of cleaning the toilet aside for now. Your sister-in-law is two-timing, which is a serious problem of work style. My brother-in-law is still defending the country at the border. If you don't want your sister-in-law to go to the farm for reform, persuade her to pay back the money obediently. The total amount is 380.9 yuan, not a cent less, otherwise I will not be lenient. And you, Manager Zhang, may also be implicated!"
After she finished speaking, she smiled coldly. Her sharp and cold eyes made the manager sweat profusely. He did not doubt her words at all.
Although the Lu family was in trouble, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and a rotten boat still has three pounds of nails. These are more than enough to deal with a small manager like him, and he dare not confront them head-on.
Manager Zhang promised that Xu Lina would pay back the money within three days, not a penny less.
Ruan Qiqi agreed and said he would come back to get the money in three days.
It was getting dark outside, so she decided to go home first and ask Lu Yuanchao's friends for money tomorrow.
Border, rainforest.
Lu Jiefang and Lu Yuanchao had just finished their patrol and came back exhausted to eat. There was nothing good to eat at the border. The two had lost a lot of weight in less than a month, but their eyes didn't look as clear anymore.
I went to the canteen to get some food, which was another local stew made of meat, vegetables, and corn flour cooked into a paste. It smelled good, but it looked unappetizing and tasted even less appetizing.
The two brothers have been spoiled since childhood and are very picky about food. They want to eat light and fresh meals. Just looking at this sticky thing will make them full. They can only swallow it whole with their eyes closed. Eating a meal is like torture.
"Brother, I want to eat the food cooked by my sister-in-law."
Lu Yuanchao swallowed half of the porridge with difficulty, but couldn't swallow it anymore. Then he skillfully lifted up his shirt and sprinkled some salt on his belly. A leech that was full of blood fell out.
It must have been picked up during patrol. The two brothers have gone from crying loudly at first to being numb now.
"I want to eat too. I'll have more energy after I'm full."
Lu Jiefang looked at the half bowl of porridge left in the bowl, closed his eyes angrily, and continued to swallow it, finally finishing the whole bowl of porridge.
The two brothers finished their dinner with difficulty and leaned against the wall to chat.
"Brother, can sister-in-law get the money back?"
"Should be able to, she's so fierce!"
"Brother, I want to eat malted milk, cream cake, and rice."
"Stop talking. I want to eat too. Once my sister-in-law gets the money back, I'll take you to a restaurant for a big meal."
Lu Jiefang swallowed hard and prayed that Ruan Qiqi could get the money back and send it to him quickly to save his life. Even if it was only half of it, it would still be more than a hundred yuan.
As for the emotional pain caused by Xu Lina, it was nothing compared to the damage caused by leeches and hunger. He was now quite glad that Xu Lina was playing two-timing, otherwise he would not have been so justified in asking for money.
Damn it, after he has made achievements on the border and become successful, he will go back to Tanzhou and piss Xu Lina off to death!
Lu Jiefang made a vicious oath, but only three seconds later, his lofty ambition was defeated by a few leeches on his back.
The leeches were full of blood and became swollen. Lu Yuanchao sprinkled salt to kill them. Looking at the full-fledged leech corpses on the ground, Lu Jiefang couldn't help but feel sad. He was starving and his life was even worse than that of a leech!
The two brothers looked at each other sadly, hugged each other and cried silently.
I didn’t dare cry out loud because I would get beaten!
