Jiang Wanwan rubbed her wrist and looked at Qiao Wenwan, who didn't react for a long time, with an indifferent expression.
This slap is in return for the original owner.
It was she who caused the original owner to fall into the water, which led to so many things that happened later.
But they were the only two people when they fell into the water. Even if she said something now, Qiao Wenwan would definitely argue to the end.
There was nothing she could do about it as there was no evidence, but she could collect some interest first.
Jiang Wanwan's actions shocked everyone present. No one expected that Jiang Wanwan, who was usually good-tempered and had a low sense of presence, would start a fight without any hesitation.
Du Jiaming was the first to react and pulled Qiao Wenwan behind him, "Xiao Wan, do you know what you are doing?"
"I know. She was the one who told me to hit her and scold her. Why, didn't you hear it?"
Jiang Wanwan raised her head and asked, her bright big eyes sparkling with light.
Du Jiaming frowned at this, "I've been too indulgent with you. I've made you lawless. Xiaowan, think carefully. If you leave this door today and want to come back, you'll have to endure much more rumors and gossip than you have now."
Jiang Wanwan almost choked when she heard his tone. What kind of a jerk is this?
"Don't worry, since I'm planning to marry Lu Xiao, I won't regret it. But before we go, let's settle the accounts first. I remember you two borrowed a lot of money and notes from me. You also said that Lu Xiao is a poor boy and his family is poor. I have to buy a lot of things to live with him. It's a good time to pay it back today."
The original owner was in love and she had to stay close to Du Jiaming even though she was reluctant to eat or use anything.
There was also Qiao Wenwan, who often pretended to be weak to gain her sympathy. Every time she pretended to be sick and fainted, the original owner would give her money and tickets, spend money to help her find people to work, and buy her delicious food to nourish her body. Qiao Wenwan even said that her family was sick and needed to send money back, so she borrowed money from her.
Du Jiaming was even more outrageous. He used Jiang Wanwan's money and tickets to make the lion's share several times, and treated the educated youth to a meal at their residence to win their hearts.
It was also thanks to his hypocritical nobleness that he wrote an IOU when he took money from her in order to prove to others that he was a man with all the pride and backbone he should have.
In fact, he never thought about paying it back.
Jiang Wanwan just remembered this when she saw those IOUs while packing up her things.
When Du Jiaming saw the IOU that Jiang Wanwan took out, his face changed.
"Xiao Wan, do you really have to settle this with me? Have you forgotten why you came to the countryside?"
He just wanted to remind her that she was here for him and that she would marry him in the future.
Du Jiaming didn't believe that Jiang Wanwan really went to live with Lu Xiao. She just wanted to control him.
Did she know that taking out the IOU to ask him for money was not only a slap in his face, but also a loss of face for herself?
Jiang Wanwan counted the IOUs in her hand and said "oh". When she looked up, her eyes were indifferent.
"Didn't you insist on writing these IOUs? How did it become like I have to settle with you? Or did you write these IOUs just to show everyone that you weren't trying to take advantage of me, and you had no intention of paying me back?"
"I... Of course I didn't mean that..."
Du Jiaming's face flushed red, seeming to be both embarrassed and annoyed.
Jiang Wanwan nodded. "That's not what you meant. I counted. You borrowed a total of 52.80 yuan from me, including 12 jin of grain coupons, 3 jin of meat coupons, and 4 qian of cloth coupons. Do you want to pay it back bit by bit, or all at once? A lump sum is fine, but if you want to pay it back bit by bit, please give me a deadline."
Qiao Wenwan, who was standing nearby, suddenly looked up when she heard the number. "How could it be so many? You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"
He reached out to take the IOU and take a closer look, but Jiang Wanwan dodged him.
"These documents were all written by Du Jiaming himself. How could he not recognize his own handwriting? I wouldn't forge an IOU. As for the amount, he should have an idea in his mind."
Du Jiaming's family was well-off in the past, and he didn't care about spending money. After moving to the countryside, although his family could no longer help him, he had Jiang Wanwan as his little piggy bank, so he didn't hold back at all, and was even more generous than before.
This is also the reason why he is quite popular among the educated youth.
Qiao Wenwan was still looking at the IOUs when Jiang Wanwan added, "And you, my dear sister, have borrowed money and bills from me quite a lot during the past two years in the countryside. Before, I didn't need much money, so I never asked you for it. Now that I'm down and out, even if you, my dear sister, don't help me, shouldn't you pay me back as soon as possible?"
“I…I…”
Qiao Wenwan subconsciously wanted to deny that she had borrowed money, after all, Jiang Wanwan didn't have her IOU.
But when the words came to his lips, he met Jiang Wanwan's sparkling eyes and couldn't say them.
"What's wrong with you? You're not going to deny what you've eaten and used, are you? The other educated youth all knew when you lent me something."
Jiang Wanwan broke the possibility of her defaulting on the debt.
Everyone in the educated youth center knew about their relationship. The original owner had never been shy about giving her anything. If she didn't acknowledge it now, she would have no place in the educated youth center in the future.
Qiao Wenwan naturally knew this and looked aggrieved.
"Wanwan, it's not that I don't want to pay it back. You know my situation. My family's financial situation is not good. In order to accompany you to the countryside, I had a conflict with my parents. My family wouldn't support me at all. I really..."
"Oh, your family never sent you a penny?"
Jiang Wanwan pretended to be surprised.
"That's really not right. Why are your parents like this? If you hadn't gone to the countryside, would your dad still be able to stay in the city?"
As soon as she said this, there was a burst of whispering outside the door.
Everyone in the educated youth camp knew that Qiao Wenwan went to the countryside willingly to accompany her good friend, so no matter how much advantage Qiao Wenwan took from Jiang Wanwan, no one said anything.
Think about yourself, who would give up a good life in the city and run to the countryside to suffer for the sake of friendship?
They just felt that Jiang Wanwan didn’t give Qiao warmth enough or well enough, but what if it wasn’t just because of friendship?
Qiao Wenwan was also flustered. "Wanwan, what are you talking about? What does it have to do with my dad?"
She absolutely couldn't admit it at this moment. As long as she didn't admit it, Jiang Wanwan would be talking nonsense.
Jiang Wanwan didn't care. "Is it okay? I thought if you didn't go to the countryside, your dad would have to go to the border to build a railway. It turns out I was overthinking it. It seems that my good sister really came to the countryside for me."
"Yes... I came to the countryside just to accompany you." Qiao Wenwan's expression finally softened a bit, and she said aggrievedly, "Wanwan, how could you doubt my friendship for you?"
"Of course I don't doubt our friendship, but I'm in urgent need of money, and you're making excuses. I can't help but doubt your purpose in coming to the countryside. You're not here for my money or my tickets..."
Having said that, she glanced at Du Jiaming next to her and continued in a long voice.
"And the man I like? I actually believed it and even asked my dad to get you to the Red Star Brigade. I'm not inviting wolves..."
"How is that possible?"
Qiao Wenwan raised her voice and interrupted Jiang Wanwan in panic.
