Zhou Jing gave her a thumbs up.

Then the door opened, and when Fang Qing saw that it was Lin Yuyao, she immediately didn't want to close the door.

However, Zhou Jing had already stepped in before her and blocked the door.

The door couldn't be closed. Fang Qing looked unhappy and said awkwardly, "It's Yuyao, you are so silly. After all, we are from the same hometown, why did you lie to me and say that you were a water meter reader?"

Lin Yuyao: "If I don't say that, can you open the door?"

As she spoke, she pushed Fang Qing aside and went in.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Lu Jiangting playing with toys with Wang Chen in the room.

Lu Jiangting felt embarrassed about being caught in adultery, and explained to Lin Yuyao, "I just came to see Chenchen, Yuyao, don't misunderstand me."

"What did I misunderstand? You have nothing to do with me. Who you choose to be with is none of my business."

Lu Jiangting frowned, "Yuyao, don't say such angry words."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Speechless. He doesn't think that I can be with him, right?

"I heard you were going to pay me back? Where's the money?"

Lu Jiangting's expression changed, "Who told you that?"

Lin Yuyao was worried that if she told the truth, he would go looking for trouble with Yi Yunshuo.

So he told a lie.

"I received a strange phone call today. They said it was from the military, and the name was Wang or something."

Yes, Yi Yunshuo said he was Lao Wang.

"He said he had asked you, Lu Jiangting, to return my money and told me not to block the gate of the brigade to ask for money anymore. It would bring bad reputation to the unit and would also have a bad impact on you personally."

ah?

Lu Jiangting was stunned on the spot.

Lin Yuyao said again: "I promised him that I would not go if you return my money. But if you don't return it, I will go and block him."

Lu Jiangting looked unhappy.

Lin Yuyao sighed, "There's nothing I can do. I'm just an ordinary person. If you don't pay me back, what can I do? You said you wanted to borrow more, so I'll go to court and sue you. If you don't pay me back, I'll apply for compulsory execution."

This process will take at least half a year. It's a hassle for me and you won't get any benefit. But I'm only 90 yuan short, which is less than your monthly salary. It may not even be enough for the lawyer's fee or the lawsuit fee, right? I don't want to go this far.

Of course, I believe you don't want to go this far. After all, if a mandatory document is issued to your unit, you will be embarrassed, right? "

Lu Jiangting just felt overwhelmed and sighed deeply.

"Yuyao, we have been together for many years, but we have come to this point just for money. Is it worth it?"

Lin Yuyao: "I also wanted to ask you this."

She looked at Fang Qing and said, "We have been together for many years. You can cheat me of anything. You cheated me of money? Money is my life. You cheated me of my life to please another woman. Is this what you call a long-term relationship?"

Everyone: “…”

How can such a small amount of money become a matter of life and death?

"Lu Jiangting, give me my life back."

Lu Jiangting looked unhappy and stammered, "This life... no, this money I... I..."

He looked at Fang Qing and whispered, "They have no living expenses. Yuyao, please give them a few more days."

Lin Yuyao stared at him coldly, "So you gave my life to her again?"

"Yuyao, don't say such harsh words."

"I'm sorry, if you don't pay me back, I'll say such harsh words."

She stared at the two of them and said, "If you don't return the money to me today, I will look for..." Lao Wang?

"Comrade Wang, go and reason with me."

Naturally, Lu Jiangting didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. When Lao Wang called him in for a talk, he talked about his family's difficulties and how he had to borrow money.

Lao Wang knew that he came from the countryside and there was nothing he could do about his family's financial difficulties.

But, he felt that it would have a bad influence if someone blocked his door to demand a debt, so he asked him how much he still owed.

He owed the other person ninety yuan, so Lao Wang generously lent him one hundred yuan and asked him to pay the other person back first.

If Lin Yuyao went to make trouble again, wouldn't she know that he didn't return it?

As a last resort, he could only ask Fang Qing to take out the money.

Fang Qing was extremely unhappy.

"This money is given to Yuyao, what should Chenchen and I do?"

"I'll think of a solution." Lu Jiangting said.

"But this..." She looked at Lin Yuyao in embarrassment and said, "Yuyao, please have pity on us orphans and widows. Can you give us a few more days?"

"No, I just feel so sorry for you that you can't even get married."

Fang Qing: “…”

Zhou Jing said, "Sister, don't go too far. You messed up our childhood sweethearts and ruined their relationship. How can you still have the nerve to use her as a dowry? Even a mother-in-law is not so shameless, let alone a 'sister-in-law'. Besides, the marriage is not even going to happen."

She emphasized the word "sister-in-law" very much.

Fang Qing blushed.

Naturally, she didn't want to spend the money she had earned.

But Lin Yuyao and Zhou Jing were both staring.

Lu Jiangting was worried that Lin Yuyao would call his leader to complain, so he urged her to take it out.

No matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to take it out.

Unfortunately, there are only fifty dollars.

Lin Yuyao said coldly, "Why is there only fifty? Didn't you say ninety? Where is the remaining forty?"

Fang Qing said, "Only fifty. Jiang Ting only gave me fifty."

Lu Jiangting indeed only gave fifty. He thought fifty was enough and there was no need to give all.

The remaining forty was still in his pocket.

No, it should be fifty. Lao Wang gave him ten more as an emergency measure.

Lin Yuyao glared at Lu Jiangting, "Give me the remaining forty."

Lu Jiangting said, "If I pay another forty, I'll be done. Then you should give me the IOU, right?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

The IOU is still on the way.

Seeing that she couldn't produce the IOU, Fang Qing became excited.

"We have already paid you back so much, and we haven't seen the IOU. You wouldn't just take the money and not return the IOU, right?"

"Who said they won't pay it back? I don't have the IOU with me. I'll give it to you later."

Lu Jiangting said, "Then I'll give you another forty later."

This... She didn't have the IOU, so she was at fault and could only accept it.

"Okay, I'll give it to you later."

Lin Yuyao gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Jiangting meaningfully.

As he was leaving, he stared at Lu Jiangting and sneered, "We've known each other for so many years, but it turns out I don't even have the basic trust in you."

Lu Jiangting's expression changed, "Yuyao, it's not that I don't believe you, but... but..."

He couldn't say it again.

This is the last bond between him and her.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to pay her back. If he wanted to pay her back, he could borrow money from anywhere.

He delayed deliberately because he didn't want to break his relationship with her.

Unexpectedly, there was another misunderstanding.

Lin Yuyao said, "That's good. There was no trust in the first place. One hand handed over the money and the other hand returned the IOU. That's good."

After saying that, she pulled Zhou Jing away.

…

Although he said that he would not celebrate his birthday today, Fu Huaiyi still invited a few familiar friends to have lunch.

It was a hotel in Chenshan Town, and he didn't want to go too far.

When a group of men get together, they're bound to drink a little.
