Lin Yuyao counted, and there were only a hundred?

No, she remembered that he earned 150 yuan a month, not including bonuses.

Maybe he didn't have it with him, or he used it to pay off someone else's debt?

The last time I heard from Yi Yunshuo, he was borrowing money from everywhere.

That should be it.

One hundred is one hundred, it’s better than nothing.

Lin Yuyao took the hundred dollars directly.

"I'm still ninety points short, right?"

Lu Jiangting's mouth twitched: "Yuyao, I can't give you this money, give it back to me quickly."

"No, it's only natural to pay back debts. You should have paid me back in full last month, and I've already allowed you to delay payment for one month. The remaining 90, I'll allow you to delay payment for another month, but that's the limit."

"You...Yuyao, hey, Yuyao..."

Lin Yuyao just rode away on her bike.

Lu Jiangting's face changed drastically and he hurried to chase after him.

When Lin Yuyao saw him running so fast, she was so scared that she stood up and pedaled frantically, almost making the bicycle fly.

Lu Jiangting didn't catch up in the end.

He stood by the roadside, gasping for breath.

I don’t know if it was because I was angry or tired, but my clothes were soaked with sweat.

At this time, a colleague kindly asked, "Should we let them drive after him?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"If you don't want to return it..." The other party chuckled, "This is considered robbery."

This was of course a mockery of him. If it was true, the money could be recovered, but he would lose all his face.

The key is, you have to give it back to her in the end.

"No need." Lu Jiangting said with a cold face.

Now there is no need to look for Fang Qing and her son.

Because he only brought out 100 yuan, and it was all taken away by Lin Yuyao.

Now that he's gone, how should I tell Fang Qing?

But what if I don't go?

Fang Qing and her son came here to seek refuge with him. They had survived for so many days with just ten yuan. If he didn't give them the money, they would starve to death.

If Jianjun knew they were hungry, he wouldn't know how to blame himself.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. After thinking it over, Lu Jiangting went back and found his roommate Liu Anguo and said, "Anguo, please lend me some more money."

Liu Anguo looked puzzled, "Didn't we just get paid today?"

"I know, but I used it to pay off my debt. If you lend me the twenty dollars I owe you, I'll pay you back next month."

Liu Anguo: “…” He just returned it, it’s not even warm yet.

Since the other party had already spoken, he couldn't say anything more and could only take out the twenty yuan again.

"Then you have to pay me back next month."

Lu Jiangting took it and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure."

"Once you return it, you can't borrow it back."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Are you short of money?"

"I'm not short of money, but my family is. You know the situation in my family. I'm the eldest and I have younger brothers and sisters to support. My father worked so hard to support me in school that he ruined his health. Now he can't do much and has to go to the hospital frequently. My mother urged me a few days ago to send my salary back home as soon as I get it."

Lu Jiangting sighed helplessly when he thought that his family was even poorer than his own.

He patted Liu Anguo on the shoulder and said, "We are brothers in distress."

Liu Anguo said, "It's not bad. Actually, my current conditions are already the best in our village. There are many people in our village who envy me. I just need to work hard for a few more years and wait for my brothers and sisters to grow up."

Lu Jiangting nodded and said, "That's right. I will just...work hard for a few more years and wait for Chenchen to grow up."

Liu Anguo's mouth twitched, "Are you still planning to help raise Chenchen?"

"Yeah, Jianjun... Alas! You know, if it wasn't for Jianjun, I would have been the one who died in the Liangshan incident two years ago. I can't just ignore it."

Liu Anguo frowned and said, "I think if Fang Qing and her son are really in trouble, you have to report this to the organization. You can't just shoulder it by yourself. You have to live your own life."

"The organization has paid all the compensation it should have paid, and the pension is paid out every month according to the standard. What else can we do? That little money is barely enough to feed ourselves, but how can we support a child of that size? It is a big expense to send a child to school, and a book costs two yuan, and this is only for kindergarten."

"That's not what you said. If you have money, spend more. If you don't have money, spend less. I may not be able to increase the pension, but I can introduce her to a job. If she wants to live a good life, she should earn money on her own. She can't always rely on you."

Lu Jiangting said: "Fang Qing said she would look for a job, but it would take a few months. Because Chenchen is not in school now, she plans to go to work in September after Chenchen goes to school, otherwise she would not feel at ease leaving the child at home."

"How old is the child?"

"Five years old."

Liu Anguo nodded and said, "That's true. Children who are neither too old nor too young are the most naughty. I am really worried about leaving them alone. Then you can help her for a few more months, right?"

"Yes, I won't care about her until she finds a job."

It seems that this is the only way. Liu Anguo thinks it is not easy for him, carrying such a heavy moral burden.

You can live well, but you still have to borrow money everywhere.

Of course, if money can be used to solve this matter of life and death, it would be good. After all, there are some things that money alone is not enough.

Wait a minute.

After sighing, Liu Anguo suddenly remembered, "Didn't you take out a hundred dollars and say you were going to give it to Fang Qing?"

"I..." He didn't dare to say that Lin Yuyao had taken it away. After all, giving Lin Yuyao's dowry to Fang Qing was still a bit embarrassing.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll give it back to my sister."

"Ah? You borrowed money from your sister?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you before? Fang Qing wanted to open a hair salon, but she didn't have enough money, so she asked me to borrow money. I lent all my money to Fang Qing, so I didn't even have money for the trip back home, so I borrowed it from my sister. My sister is now urging me to pay her back, and when I wasn't at home, she went to my parents, which made them very upset."

Liu Anguo asked, "Is she your biological sister?"

"Of course."

"Why are you pushing me so hard, my dear sister? How can you be like a real sister? Anyway, I send my money back home to support my brothers and sisters, and I never think there is anything wrong with that."

"This..." Lu Jiangting said in a low voice: "Every family situation is different. My sister has been married for several years. She has her own life to live. I must pay back the money I borrowed from her."

"You still have to pay it back, but you are in a difficult situation now, so you should let her be more considerate of you."

The more Lu Jiangting talked, the more guilty he felt, and he didn't want to continue this topic.

"Forget it, Anguo, let's not talk about this. You lent me money, and I thank you. I'm leaving now, and I'll talk to you when I come back."

"Hey~" He hasn't finished yet.

Lu Jiangting, who had taken the money, had already run away.

After Lu Jiangting arrived in Chenshan Town, he went straight to find Fang Qing.

Fang Qing knew he would come, so she spent her last dollar on buying some fresh vegetables and also bought two taels of meat to make meat dumplings, waiting for him to come and eat.

Fang Qing was extremely enthusiastic. After all, it was agreed that Lu Jiangting would give her fifty yuan.

After eating the dumplings, Lu Jiangting only took out ten yuan, and Fang Qing's face changed.

How come it’s only ten dollars?

Didn’t we agree on fifty dollars?
