Lu Jiangting looked down at the IOU in Lin Yuyao's hand, then looked at Lin Ping and said, "Is he here to give you the IOU?"

"It's none of your business. Give me the money."

"I..." he stammered.

Lin Yuyao said coldly: "What happened? Did you spend it?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"If you don't pay it back today, I will call your leader. He lent it to you and asked you to return it to me. Don't you want to pay it back?"

"no……"

"If you don't want to, just give it out. Don't say Fang Qing borrowed it. She has received a pension. As long as she doesn't spend money lavishly, she won't starve to death."

Lu Jiangting looked at her, wanting to say something several times but stopping himself, still not knowing what to say.

But this money...it's not that he doesn't want to pay it back, he just doesn't want to lose this last connection with her.

But... speaking of this bond... he couldn't tell whether it was a bond or a sin.

Because he owed her money, he didn't dare to come to see her every time he wanted to, for fear that she would ask for money as soon as he came.

It hurts feelings and causes arguments.

well!

Forget it, since she values ​​money so much, just give it to her.

If you give it to her, you no longer owe her anything, and she won't be angry anymore.

From now on he can come to see her openly.

Lu Jiangting took out fifty yuan.

Yes, fifty yuan, one hundred of which Lao Wang lent him, and he himself did not dare to spend a penny.

After Yu Yao took away the fifty dollars he gave Fang Qing last time, he could only give her another thirty.

He was running low on money and was afraid that Yuyao would cause trouble for him, so he hurried back to the army.

This money is all in small pieces. I found some by rummaging through boxes and drawers, and then asked friends to combine some more. That's it.

"Yuyao, money..."

Before he could finish, Lin Yuyao grabbed it.

She counted them in front of him.

This money is real, a few cents, one dollar, two dollars, five dollars, all small changes.

Lu Jiangting watched Lin Yuyao counting the money and whispered, "Yuyao, I'm sorry, I really didn't know you valued money so much."

Lin Yuyao paused and said sarcastically, "What? Money is not important to you? Money is not important to Fang Qing?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Humph, I'm just being direct and telling you that I value money. But you and Fang Qing are hypocritical, pretending that it's not important, and even using money to slander others. Are you trying to say that years of love are not as important as money, and that I've fallen for money?"

Lu Jiangting explained in a panic, "That's not what I meant. I just felt... that you valued it more than I do..."

"Yes, it is more important than you. Money will not betray me, but you will."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Oh, stop being funny. If it wasn't important, Fang Qing wouldn't have pestered you, and you wouldn't have lied to me."

"I……"

"Shut up." This time it was Lin Ping who spoke. He said angrily, "Lu Jiangting, I never thought you were such a disgusting person. You are a grown man, you can lie about anything? You actually lied about my sister's dowry.

Do you know that the dowry my family gave to my sister was saved penny by penny by my parents and my brother through hard work and thrift? How could you cheat me?"

Lu Jiangting blushed.

"Lin Ping, I didn't lie, please stop talking nonsense."

"How is it not a lie? Didn't you say that your friend's father was dying and you wanted to use the money to save his life? What? Did you use the money to save his life?"

Save your life.

He suddenly realized that what he thought was a white lie was actually a lie.

Lu Jiangting lowered his head and said, "Yuyao, I'm sorry."

Lin Yuyao had heard this countless times. She was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued counting her money.

It's strange that she counted out fifty out of forty yuan.

Could it be that I counted wrongly because Lu Jiangting interrupted me just now?

She would rather believe that she counted wrong than believe that Lu Jiangting gave her ten more yuan.

So she started counting a second time.

"Come on, you just know that you have done something horrible. Return the money, and you will have nothing to do with our family from now on."

He turned to Lin Yuyao and asked, "Sister, have you counted them clearly?"

I counted it again; it was still fifty.

Lin Yuyao looked at Lu Jiangting, "How many?"

"Fifty."

Hiss, it’s really fifty.

Lu Jiangting said, "I'm sorry. This ten dollars is my compensation to you. I should have given you more, but I really have no money right now."

Lin Yuyao did not refuse, it was what she deserved.

She has borrowed the money for such a long time and the repayment period is delayed. Even if she borrows from a bank, she still has to pay interest. Why shouldn’t she take it?

She took it.

Lin Yuyao took the money directly and gave him the IOU.

"Take it and check if it's correct. If it's correct, we're even."

Lu Jiangting took the IOU and looked at it. It was indeed the one he had written.

"That's right, Yuyao, now that the money has been returned, you are no longer angry with me, right?"

Um?

Lin Yuyao said calmly, "Why are you angry? I'm no longer angry."

Lu Jiangting misunderstood what he said. He was overjoyed and walked towards him in a few steps.

Seeing this, Lin Ping hurriedly stood among them.

Lin Ping said angrily, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Jiangting was stunned.

Lin Ping said, "You don't think that just because my sister is no longer angry, you will have another chance, right?"

"Lin Ping, this is a matter between me and your sister."

"Bah, you bastard, do you really think so? Hey, I don't understand, you already have a wife and children, why are you still harassing my sister?"

Lu Jiangting's face changed, and he grabbed Lin Ping by the collar and said, "Lin Ping, what are you talking about? Say it again."

Lin Yuyao's expression changed, and she stared at Lu Jiangting and said, "What do you want to do? Let go."

When Lu Jiangting saw Lin Yuyao's angry expression, he loosened his grip a lot.

Lin Ping smiled calmly and said, "I said, you already have a wife and children. So what if I said that? Am I wrong?"

"You..." Lu Jiangting said angrily, "Where did you hear that?"

"That's what people in my hometown say. They say you broke off the engagement with my sister and got together with Fang Qing. Fang Qing closed her hair salon and brought her children with you to join the army."

Lu Jiangting was horrified and his face turned pale. "Who said that?"

"How should I know? I'm studying, and when I go home during the holidays I hear people in the village saying that."

Lu Jiangting's face turned pale. He never expected the news in his hometown to spread like this.

He hadn't called home for a long time because he owed his sister money and couldn't pay her back. He promised to pay her back, but because the money was taken away by Yuyao, he still hadn't paid her back, so he didn't dare to call home at all.

So... even though the news spread like this at home, he had no idea.

He loosened his hand, took two steps back, looked at Lin Yuyao and said, "Yuyao, don't listen to the rumors back home. There's nothing between Fang Qing and me, you know."

"Yeah, I know."

After saying that, he ignored him and left with Lin Ping.

Lu Jiangting was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly chased after her, "Yuyao, let's not be angry anymore, let's start over, let's..."
