The delicate beauty wept, her face streaked with tears, looking utterly pitiful.
Looking at Bai Shuyao, Leng Yaozu had no intention of blaming her at all and planned to take the blame for the hundred yuan.
He wants to marry Bai Shuyao, but he can't even show this much sincerity. How can he possibly marry her?
Moreover, given Bai Juan's money-grubbing ways, getting the Bai family to contribute a portion of the money is even less likely than getting Zhang Fuqiang to forgo compensation.
"Yaoyao, how could this be your fault? Don't worry, I'll take care of this. Don't cry, it's breaking my heart!" Even though he was already half-crippled, Leng Yaozu still had the energy to comfort the woman.
It really is true love.
"Then, what about this hundred yuan...? It's not a small amount," Bai Shuyao said.
Leng Yaozu frowned; the money issue was indeed difficult to resolve.
The Leng family is no longer what it used to be, with Zhou Jinglan, that fool, as their blood source. Leng Yaozu wasn't confident about raising 100 yuan within three days, so he had to go back and discuss it with his parents first.
"Yaoyao, don't worry about it, I'll figure something out!" Even though he wasn't sure, Leng Yaozu still had to put on a brave face in front of Bai Shuyao.
"How about this," Bai Shuyao suddenly had an idea. She knew Zhang Fuqiang was a thug, and dealing with thugs wasn't always the best approach. People's appetites would grow, and once they started, they would do it again. If they decided someone was easy to bully, it would never end. So, "Brother Yaozu, isn't your sister the battalion commander? Let her handle this."
"Even if Zhang Fuqiang is a scoundrel, he wouldn't dare to act tough in front of the military. Maybe he'll be more polite because of your sister?"
This is indeed a good idea.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare to go against the military, let alone a scoundrel like Zhang Fuqiang.
Even if Zhang Fuqiang has some connections, he should know who he can mess with and who he shouldn't.
The problem is, the Leng family can't use Leng Yingying's name as a shield!
Even whether the 1,000 yuan dowry can be obtained smoothly from Leng Yingying is still unknown, let alone the 100 yuan that needs to be given to Zhang Fuqiang within three days.
It's not that simple.
Leng Yaozu cannot tell Bai Shuyao the truth; the Leng family needs to leverage the influence of "Battalion Commander Sister."
"Yaoyao, don't worry about this. I'll handle it. As for whether to ask my sister to help, let me go back and discuss it with my parents first. Don't be sad, don't cry." Leng Yaozu comforted Bai Shuyao.
“Brother Yaozu…”
"Alright, you've cried yourself into a mess, it breaks my heart!"
"Brother Yaozu, you need to take good care of your injury."
"Go back quickly, stop crying, or your mother will think I've bullied you!" Leng Yaozu still had the energy to joke.
When he returned home with a bruised and swollen face, Leng Qisheng and Xu Fangfang were shocked by his appearance.
"Ouch! Son, what happened to you? How did you get hurt like this? Weren't you on a date with Yao Yao? Who the hell beat you up?" Xu Fangfang shouted shrilly, rushing over to check Leng Yaozu's wounds.
"Mom, be gentle, be gentle!" Leng Yaozu winced in pain.
Previously, in front of Bai Shuyao, he had to pretend that he was fine, but in reality, he felt like his whole body was about to fall apart from the pain.
"Bad luck, I ran into Zhang Fuqiang!"
Whenever Zhang Fuqiang's name was mentioned, Xu Fangfang looked hesitant to speak, and Leng Qisheng also pouted in embarrassment.
In this suburban area, everyone knows Zhang Fuqiang, this scoundrel and thug.
If you offend him, you'll suffer the consequences.
"Yaozu, what did you do to offend that scoundrel?" Xu Fangfang said with heartache, wishing she could take the pain away from her son.
"I made plans to go ice skating with Yao Yao. Everything was fine at first, but then Zhang Fuqiang suddenly showed up. That bastard was bullying Yao Yao, and I couldn't just stand by and do nothing. I didn't expect him to..."
He recounted the conflict at the ice rink, and at the end, Leng Yaozu brought up the promised compensation of one hundred yuan.
"He said... I have to give him the money in three days, or he will never let me go." Leng Yaozu's voice gradually lost its confidence, and he said guiltily, "Dad, Mom, do we still have a hundred yuan?"
"One hundred yuan? Where am I supposed to find that much money?" Xu Fangfang panicked and slapped her thigh.
The three of them knew very well that Zhang Fuqiang was in the wrong, but he would still come to ask for money. If they didn't give it to him, Zhang Fuqiang would definitely not let them get away with it.
"Old Leng, how much do you have left?" Xu Fangfang was still thinking of trying to scrape together some more.
"Where would I get any money?" Leng Qisheng reached into his pockets, and they were even emptier than his face!
Even so, he wasn't guilty at all, since he was already used to this situation.
"this……"
"Mom, what should we do? If we don't have money, Zhang Fuqiang will definitely not let us off the hook! Right, Yaoyao said that my sister can handle this. My sister is a battalion commander now, right? No matter how much of a scoundrel Zhang Fuqiang is, he should be afraid of soldiers, right?" Leng Yaozu said in a panic.
"But we haven't seen a trace of her yet!" Xu Fangfang bit her lip. "Besides, is three days enough time?"
"How about we go directly to the army base to find her?" Leng Qisheng said, steeling his resolve and declaring, "I'm her biological father. If she doesn't care about me, then it's a fight to the death, and nobody will get away with it!"
Leng Qisheng was right; he was indeed Leng Yingying's biological father.
Every time she went to the military base to look for her before, she got no results. But if she used the excuse that her own daughter didn't recognize her father and went directly to the military leaders, Leng Yingying probably wouldn't be able to stop her, and she would definitely be the one in the wrong.
But if things really escalate to the point of mutual destruction, no one can say for sure what the consequences will be.
"Don't rush, Lao Leng. Yaozu's dowry money still depends on Da Yingzi. It's not worth it to lose a thousand yuan for a hundred yuan! We can't easily fall out with her..." Xu Fangfang was anxious, but her mind was clear. She knew that she couldn't lose more than she gained.
This matter needs to be handled carefully. If we can control Leng Yingying and make her become like the Zhou Jinglan of the past, willingly letting them bleed her dry, their family's good days will be just around the corner!
But if not handled properly, you might not even get the bride price, and you might even suffer other consequences.
"But we only have three days. Where are we going to find a hundred yuan?" Leng Yaozu finally realized he was in a hurry.
Given Zhang Fuqiang's character, if they don't get the money, the first thing they'll get is a beating.
Leng Yaozu was covered in injuries, and even the slightest movement caused him pain all over his body. He really didn't want to be beaten up a second time.
In any case, the most urgent matter is to resolve the issue of the hundred dollars.
