Chapter 84 You can ask her for an advance on your salary.
After Yan Liang left, Zhao Chunrong panicked even more.
Even her most capable grandson in the family doesn't care about her anymore, so how could she dare to go against Yan Sui?
She doesn't care about self-criticism now; she just wants to get the money back first.
"Zhendong, I'm your own mother. You can't just watch me get arrested by the police, can you? You haven't given me any money for my retirement all these years. I'm not going to hold it against you anymore, but you have to pay me back this five thousand yuan!"
Yan Zhendong was at his wits' end. "Mom, if I had money, of course I would help you, but I don't have any!"
Zhao Chunrong didn't believe him. "You send eight hundred yuan home every month and keep the rest for yourself. How could you not have money! You just don't want to contribute, you unfilial son!"
She gritted her teeth and threatened, "If you don't pay, I'll go to your company and cause a scene, so everyone knows what kind of person you are!"
Yan Zhendong's face turned cold. "Mom, are you trying to force me like this?"
"You're forcing me!" Zhao Chunrong turned her face away, determined to get him to hand over the money.
Yan Zhendong had no choice but to soften his voice and coax her, telling her about his difficulties.
But Zhao Chunrong isn't Peng Xiufang; she wouldn't listen to any of that.
All she knew was that if she couldn't come up with the money, she would go to jail.
Being arrested at her age could cost her half her life.
Left with no other option, Yan Zhendong turned to Peng Xiufang for help.
Peng Xiufang did not refuse immediately, but instead secretly glanced at Yan Sui.
Yan Sui didn't react, and didn't even give her a meaningful look.
This decision is up to Peng Xiufang herself.
She couldn't make up her mind, and Yan Sui couldn't help her.
"Xiufang, business has been tough lately. Even if I had money, I couldn't possibly send you only eight hundred yuan a month!"
"Please help me. My husband and I will get through this together, okay?"
Peng Xiufang bit her lip and awkwardly pulled her hand away.
She had become so used to listening to Yan Zhendong that it was hard for her to think of refusing him.
"I only have two thousand on me, not enough to cover the losses."
Zhao Chunrong shouted, "Aren't you helping Yan Sui with her work? You can ask her for an advance on your wages!"
After saying that, she felt extremely clever.
"Yes, that's what we'll do! We'll deduct it from her salary!"
Yan Sui: "No, I don't accept advances for wages here, and your compensation must be in cash. Transfer it to me immediately."
Although she didn't show it, Peng Xiufang was indeed relieved.
Using one's own savings to help is one thing, and it's another thing to deduct it from one's salary.
After a while of arguing, Yan Zhendong said he was going out to call a friend to borrow money.
After much difficulty, they managed to borrow three thousand, with Peng Xiufang covering the remaining two thousand.
When Yan Zhendong saw Peng Xiufang take out her phone to transfer money, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Where did you get your phone?
Peng Xiufang: "I just bought this. By the way, I don't have your WeChat yet. Let's add each other."
Yan Zhendong instinctively refused: "No! I don't use WeChat much. If you need anything, just call me. But I'm busy with work and might not answer."
Peng Xiufang insisted on adding him on WeChat because she wanted Yan Zhendong to give her the contact information for his two sons.
"If you don't give it to me, then I won't transfer the money."
Yan Zhendong was so angry he laughed. Zhao Chunrong was right; she had indeed gone astray.
But since he was still relying on Peng Xiufang's money, he had no choice but to add her on WeChat first.
"Alright, I'm going back now. You take good care of Mom here."
It would be good to add each other on WeChat.
Peng Xiufang works under Yan Sui, and perhaps she will be needed in the future.
As soon as Yan Zhendong left, Yan Sui and Yan Shunzhong also got up and walked out.
Peng Xiufang followed, saying, "I'll see you off."
She felt uneasy, sensing that Yan Sui was unhappy.
"Yan Sui, I'll only ask you for the morning. I'll go back to work in the afternoon."
Yan Sui sighed helplessly; it wasn't because of that at all.
"No rush, let's talk about it after we're done. I won't accept your money, Auntie, it must have been hard for you to save this little bit of money."
Peng Xiufang was startled, a mix of emotions surging up and overwhelming her.
A sore throat rose in her throat, making her unable to speak.
She doesn't have many skills, so saving money is naturally not easy for her.
I've been saving up for a long time, and I finally have these two thousand yuan.
But no one has ever seen how hard she has worked.
Peng Xiufang came to her senses; her face was already wet.
She turned her face away and wiped it with her sleeve.
"It's alright, it's agreed that you'd get compensation, you can keep the money."
Yan Sui said calmly, "Even if you don't pay, Uncle Zhendong can afford it. And even if he can't, does the eldest madam not have some money for her funeral?"
Peng Xiufang was easy to bully; Yan Zhendong begged her a few times, and she readily gave him money.
Peng Xiufang rubbed her fingers together. "It's nothing."
Yan Sui didn't try to persuade her much; there were some things she couldn't change her mind about.
"Alright, I'm going back now."
"Hey, wait a minute, Yan Sui, can you take a look at this for me?" She took out her phone.
"Didn't you say I could see his Moments? I added your Uncle Zhendong on WeChat, but I can't see his Moments. Hasn't he posted anything?"
Yan Sui glanced at it and said, "He has most likely blocked you."
"shield?"
"Well, if you don't want someone to see your Moments, you can block them."
Peng Xiufang mumbled an "oh," and said, "Then forget it."
Yan Sui said no more, bid her farewell again, and left with Yan Shunzhong.
When we got back to Changqing Village, it was already past lunchtime.
Yan Sui walked towards her own vegetable garden, intending to pick some greens to take home.
"Miss Yan, it's been a long time!"
Unsurprisingly, it's Qujiang again.
Ever since Fu Yansheng fed him the vegetables meant for the pigs, he's become incredibly outgoing and keeps striking up conversations with her.
"Mr. Qu, it's only a few days, not a long time."
Qujiang thought of the seafood buns and strawberries from last time and still felt a lingering craving.
Unfortunately, Yan Sui seemed to have forgotten about Fu Yansheng these past few days, and he didn't even have a chance to freeload.
"Why hasn't Miss Yan come to see our second... assistant lately?"
Yan Sui glanced at him, "After being rejected, pestering someone once is harmless, twice is disturbing, and three times is harassment."
Qu Jiang: "..." The case is solved.
So it turns out Fu Yansheng rejected her, then why is he acting like he's lovesick?
"I don't think you can say that. Maybe you haven't tried hard enough? Perhaps if you put in a little more effort, he'll fall in love with you!"
Yan Sui clicked her tongue and shook her head. "If he doesn't like me, it's definitely his problem. What does it have to do with me? There are plenty of men out there. Why should I make an effort?"
Qujiang wanted to try again, thinking, "Maybe he doesn't dislike you, he's just not good at expressing himself."
Yan Sui rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Mr. Qu, I want to ask you a question."
"you say."
Would you give away a gift your girlfriend gave you to someone else?
Qu Jiang pondered for a moment, then, remembering the look in his girlfriend's eyes that seemed to regard him as a dead man, he suddenly felt a chill.
Of course not!
Yan Sui: "What if it was given to you by a girl you don't like?"
"I won't accept it."
Yan Sui nodded. "What if you accept it out of politeness?"
Qu Jiang pursed his lips. "Probably."
It's impolite, but it's really inappropriate to keep this in my possession.
Yan Sui chuckled, picked up her basket, and waved to him.
"The answer is already there."
Qu Jiang looked puzzled, not understanding what she meant.
He lowered his eyes in deep thought, and then accidentally caught a glimpse of the bright red strawberries, which made him shudder.
The things Yan Sui gave to Fu Yansheng ended up in his stomach, didn't they?
So he's the one who ruined things!
Now that Qu Jiang knew, it was impossible for her not to tell Fu Yansheng.
Yan Sui had clearly misunderstood; if she didn't explain now, what was she waiting for?
Fu Yansheng, however, remained indifferent and did not seem to care much.
Qu Jiang felt he was worrying himself sick over them. "If you don't take action soon, Miss Yan Sui will run off with that little puppy."
Fu Yansheng kept his eyes straight ahead, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Good."
Qujiang: "..." Loading cargo.
Are you going fishing again today?
He was too embarrassed to call out Fu Yansheng's question: Was he fishing for fish?
Fu Yansheng glanced at him. "Is Assistant Qu very free lately?"
Qujiang was startled; he dared not say such a thing.
"Not idle at all, very busy."
