"Okay, then go and see for yourself."

Lin Ping knew that making money was not easy, so he did not dare to order expensive dishes. He just asked for a vegetable and a portion of tofu.

Lin Yuyao insisted on ordering a serving of braised pork.

Lin Ping pressed her hand and said, "We just had meat yesterday. We won't be able to eat meat for at least a week. Don't order it. It's a waste of money."

Lin Yuyao pushed his hand away and said, "It's okay. I, your sister, can still afford the meat."

The two of them came back with lunch boxes, chatting as they walked.

"Sister, this bookstore is quite big. It's bigger than the biggest bookstore in our town."

Lin Yuyao: “…” Isn’t there only one bookstore in our town?

He looked around and said, "This is also a town. There is a traffic light in this town. Why are there such big differences between towns?"

"This place is called a town because it was a town before, and it was a big town that has been passed down for many years. Now it has developed and has long been connected to the urban area. It is larger than a city in the west."

"Yes, I think so too. It's much more luxurious."

As they were about to return to the store, Lin Ping pulled Lin Yuyao aside and asked, "Sister, how much do they pay you per month for working here?"

"Ninety." Their salary was raised a few days ago, and now it is ninety.

"Wow, that's not bad. The man of the third aunt, who is an official, doesn't even have 90 yuan."

The cadres of the rural agricultural machinery station seem to be under 90 years old.

"This is a big city, and it's expensive."

Lin Ping looked at the meat in his hand and found that it was indeed much more expensive than in their hometown.

"By the way, do you really make money from writing books?"

"Of course, I can still lie to you. The book I sent home is worth two thousand dollars."

Lin Ping was envious and moved, "Sister, you are now the most promising one in our Lin family. Two thousand yuan, I can't even think about it."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Now you think that two thousand is more than enough, but you dare not imagine it. When you graduate successfully, you will not think that two thousand is more than enough. Maybe in the future, a meal for you will cost more than two thousand."

"What? A meal costs two thousand? Is that rice? I'm afraid it's not gold particles."

Lin Yuyao smiled and shook her head, patted Lin Ping on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, open your mind a little. When we were young, we felt that lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs were out of reach. Look at how many families in big cities have achieved these. And they also have rice cookers, washing machines, refrigerators, and electric fans when it's hot."

Lin Ping nodded. This was something that could only be seen on TV, but he also knew that it was the truth and would only be shown on TV.

Lin Ping reads books in the bookstore during the day, and takes Lin Yuyao out shopping after get off work.

She didn't go to the night market before, but Lin Ping was here these few days, so she took him there for two days, and he gradually became familiar with the surroundings.

When he first arrived, he seemed a little uneasy. He looked at everything curiously but didn't dare to ask or touch anything.

If I see something I like in a store, I would only look at it from outside and not go in.

Especially in some shops with nice decoration, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't stand at the door.

Lin Yuyao pulled him in and bought him a set of clothes in a well-decorated store.

Summer clothes are not expensive.

A few days later, it rained for the first time.

A heavy rain swept away the scorching heat of the past few days.

After the rain stopped, it was cloudy and not hot.

Lin Ping stopped reading in the store. He said hello to Lin Yuyao and went out shopping.

At about five o'clock, Lin Yuyao received a call from Fu Huaiyi.

Fu Huaiyi told him that they had just gotten off work and saw Lu Jiangting go out.

"Pay attention, if they are not looking for you, they are looking for Fang Qing."

When there are no special tasks, their normal working hours are from 9 to 5, except that they have training before work in the morning and usually get off work on time in the afternoon.

"Okay, Brother Fu, thank you for reminding me."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuyao looked around at the store entrance.

She is not on shift today and will get off work at 5:30, with ten minutes left until 5:30.

She told Lin Ping to come back at 5:30, and there were still ten minutes left, but she hadn't seen him yet.

About ten minutes later, she saw Lin Ping running back, sweating profusely.

"Sister, am I not late?"

Lin Yuyao glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "You're not late. You really came back on time."

"Hey, I'm glad you're not late. Sister, are you off work now?"

"Yes, let's go."

When they came out of the bookstore, Lin Yuyao said to him, "Lu Jiangting came out today."

Lin Ping raised his eyebrows and clenched his fists. "Humph, I'm going to beat him to death."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Have you forgotten what I told you?"

"This...is not the case."

"So what did I tell you?"

Lin Ping whispered, "We live in a society ruled by law. We have no money, no power, and no background. We cannot afford to offend Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing."

Lin Yuyao took a deep breath and said, "Just remember it. The last thing we have with Lu Jiangting is the forty yuan. Just get it back. There's no need to talk about the past."

She has no money, no power, and no background, so her sister has to endure the bullying of that scumbag Lu Jiangting.

Lin Ping clenched his fists tightly and swore secretly in his heart that he must become the background for his sister to have money and power.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Where is he?"

Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "He might be going to look for Fang Qing. Let's keep an eye on the bus stop and make sure he returns the remaining 40 yuan."

"OK."

Lu Jiangting's unit has a free shuttle bus that passes through Chenshan Town and the final destination is the city.

Lin Yuyao knew that the shuttle bus would also stop at the nearby bus stop.

The brother and sister hid under the tree and waited for a while, and then the shuttle bus came.

Soon, a familiar person got off the bus.

Lin Ping clenched his fists and was about to rush forward.

Lin Yuyao held him down and said, "Don't worry, follow him. I guess he's here to give money to Fang Qing. Let's take action after we see the money."

Lin Ping nodded.

The two of them followed Lu Jiangting quietly, and Lin Yuyao gradually discovered something was wrong.

The direction he was heading was not Fang Qing's house.

Instead, he was wandering around the buildings where she lived.

Lu Jiangting probably doesn't know where she lives exactly, but he knows the approximate location, so... could it be that Lu Jiangting is here to find me?

Are you looking for her to pay you back?

What can he do?

"Sister, what is he doing here?"

Lin Yuyao frowned and said, "He might be here to see me."

"Looking for you? The engagement has been cancelled, why would he come to you?"

"Maybe he felt guilty and came to me to pay me back."

Seeing Lu Jiangting turn to the building farthest from her house, she pushed Lin Ping and said, "Let's go over there."

The two walked towards Lu Jiangting, and when Lu Jiangting turned around, he saw them, the brother and sister.

"Yuyao, Lin Ping? Why are you here?"

Lin Ping snorted and ignored him.

Lin Yuyao took out the IOU and said to him, "Give me the money. Here's the IOU."
