"Hmph," Zhan Xinyue sneered. She was too lazy to waste any more words and sat back in her chair leisurely, looking as if there was nothing to discuss.
"100 yuan." Chen Juxiang bit her tongue.
Zhan Xinyue continued to look at her with a half-smile.
“200, no more!” Chen Juxiang made a great decision. There was only 355 yuan left in the family. If she gave Zhan Xinyue 300, what would she do with her younger son’s future tuition?
"Aunt Chen, I want 300 yuan, not a cent less. If you don't give it to me, I don't care. At most I will live in a cowshed, but your Zhan Hongyan's life will be ruined."
Zhan Xinyue pointed outside. The moon was about to set and the eastern sky was just beginning to turn pale. "It's almost dawn. You don't have much time left."
Zhan Hongyan was anxious. Without waiting for Chen Juxiang to speak, she whispered in her ear, "Mom, don't be reluctant to give up the 300 yuan. Grandpa told me in a dream that we can start a business in two days. Li Jiante has a good business sense. When he makes money, I will pay you back 3,000 yuan."
"Really?" Chen Juxiang's eyes sparkled. 3,000 yuan is not a small amount. It is enough to find a city wife for her son.
"Really, I can write you an IOU." Zhan Hongyan promised.
With Zhan Hongyan's guarantee, Chen Juxiang finally took out thirty big reunion tickets reluctantly and handed them to Zhan Xinyue with a painful heart.
At this time, it was just daybreak. Zhan Xinyue put the money away and went out directly. The clothes she had in this house were all Chen Juxiang and Zhan Hongyan's old clothes. She didn't want to take them away and planned to buy new ones.
As soon as Zhan Xinyue walked away, Chen Juxiang started to curse: "What a sin! You raised an ungrateful person. If you had known this would happen, you shouldn't have brought her back."
Huang Jianjun slammed the table and said, "Alright, others may not know, but I do. When my mother was still alive, she told me that you and Zhan Aiguo couldn't have children, and you were afraid that you would be alone when you were old, so you picked up Zhan Xinyue."
But she didn't expect that she got pregnant with Zhan Hongyan not long after she was brought back. She had planned to throw Zhan Xinyue away, but grandmother Zhan felt sorry for her and took her in to raise her. Later, grandmother Zhan passed away, and Zhan Xinyue lived a life of being treated like a slave in the Zhan family.
If it weren’t for Grandma Sheng Tunan feeding little Xinyue from time to time, Zhan Xinyue would have died long ago.
Huang Jianjun finished speaking and was about to leave, but Chen Juxiang grabbed him and said, "Captain, are you leaving just like that?"
"Don't worry, I'll go to the radio studio later and announce that Zhan Aiguo will be the team leader." Huang Jianjun waved his hands. This was a small matter and he could decide it alone.
"You have ruined my daughter so much, you should save some money for medicine." Chen Juxiang stretched out her hand. She was cheated out of 300 yuan by Zhan Xinyue, and now she wanted to ask Huang Jianjun to make it up to her.
As daybreak approached, Huang Jianjun did not dare to stay any longer. He took out two large banknotes from his trouser pocket and threw them at Chen Juxiang's face.
This 20 yuan was originally intended for the young widow, but I failed to give it to her yesterday, so I brought it back.
"Oh, something terrible has happened. The captain has raped Zhan Hongyan. Someone come quickly, help me..."
Suddenly, a loud and clear voice was heard. Huang Jianjun was startled and immediately ran to the back door, trying to escape.
However, the back door had been locked by Zhan Xinyue long ago. Huang Jianjun ran towards the front door like a headless fly. At this moment, Zhan Xinyue kicked the front door open and blocked the three of them in the room.
"Zhan Xinyue, you little beast, why don't you keep your word?" Chen Juxiang yelled in anger.
"Integrity is reserved for good people. Are you worthy of such despicable people like you?"
Zhan Xinyue is not stupid. She will have to live in the Changhong Brigade in the future. Huang Jianjun is the brigade commander and there are many opportunities for him to trick her openly or secretly. Today she must send Huang Jianjun to prison!
