Xu Qingzhi drove the tricycle all the way home.

As soon as I got off the car, I heard voices at home.

"Sister Yanmei, we're not asking you to hurry up. Can you please pay me back the 100,000 yuan you borrowed for the New Year? My son is going to take the college entrance exam, and I don't have the money to provide him with nutritional supplements."

Wang Yanmei looked embarrassed, her hands tightly grasping the old clothes that had been washed long ago. It was not that she did not want to return them, but she really had no money.

When I borrowed the money, we agreed to pay it back at the end of the year, with 1% interest.

It's been less than three months.

Even if she sold her life, she still couldn't raise a hundred thousand.

She smiled apologetically: "Gui Mei, the rice hasn't been harvested yet, so I really don't have that much money. Can you pay me back 5,000 first?"

"Isn't your daughter back? How can a big star be without money?" Zhang Guimei frowned. If she hadn't heard that Xu's daughter was an actress and a star, she would not have been willing to lend money to curry favor with her.

She heard yesterday that the daughter of the Xu family was scolded on the Internet for drinking water. Although she didn't understand why she was scolded for such a small thing as drinking water, everyone was saying that the daughter of the Xu family couldn't make it in the city after returning.

So, she came quickly to collect the debt.

"Gui Mei, I really have no money. Can you give me some more time? I will find a way to raise the money." Wang Yanmei pleaded.

Wang Yanmei felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but since she had borrowed money from someone, she was always inferior to him. She didn't dare to say anything, but gritted her teeth and said calmly: "I'll talk to Fuqiang when he comes back. We will find a way to pay you back the money."

"Then you have to pay it back quickly. I'm in a hurry. In my opinion, your daughter can't act anymore, so she might as well find someone to marry. Ask the man for more dowry, pay off the debt, and keep some money for her retirement. I heard that the son of the toad-selling family in the next village is looking for a wife through blind dates. He is so rich. You can go and ask around. Fuqiang can only make a few dollars a year by farming, growing vegetables and doing odd jobs. Yanmei, we have a good relationship. I'm going to tell you the truth. Don't take it to heart. After all, it was your poor vision that you fell for Fuqiang, a fool. Look at my man, he runs a restaurant outside and makes two hundred thousand a year." Zhang Guimei's tone was full of pride and pride. She and Wang Yanmei were from the same hometown and married to Taoshui Village together. Her life was much easier than Wang Yanmei's.

Wang Yanmei listened with one ear and let it go with the other. If she took everything to heart while living in the village, she would have a heart attack sooner or later. She just said calmly, "My daughter's marriage is a major event in her life. Let her decide for herself."

Zhang Guimei tilted her mouth, thinking that Wang Yanmei looked down on him, and said sarcastically: "Don't look down on that toad seller. He has a house in his hometown and another one in the county town. The car he drives is worth more than 200,000 yuan, and his house is decorated very grandly."

"I didn't mean that. It's not the parents who decide their children's marriage. It's up to her to like and be satisfied with it." Wang Yanmei said, and saw Xu Qingzhi standing at the door, "Qingzhi, you're back. Did you get the express delivery?"

"I got it, Mom." Xu Qingzhi walked in and politely called, "Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Guimei took one look and was like, wow, this person who used to be a star is different, she looks fair and tender, and seems to be much prettier than she was a few months ago during the Chinese New Year. She must have put on some powder, otherwise how could she be so beautiful.

While thinking this in her heart, Zhang Guimei praised enthusiastically: "Qingzhi, I haven't seen you for a few months. You have become more beautiful again."
