Chapter 67 The Debt Collector
At this time, Mingyin finally arrived home.
With a sound of "Woof woof woof".
Li's mother, who was at home, heard the sound of snow cakes and hurried out to open the door.
"You are finally back!"
Mother Li stuck her head out and looked around outside the door.
Mingyin was puzzled: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Mother Li pulled them both in and said, "Yinyin, you don't know that during the few days you were away, there were always sneaky people hanging around outside our door."
Ming Ruoyi: "Then why didn't you call the police?"
Mother Li: "Why are you making such a fuss? He didn't come in, didn't talk to me, he was just wandering around here. What if he wasn't targeting my house at all? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Mingyin: "Mom, do you see who it is?"
Li's mother: "It seems that during the days when Snow Cake became popular on the Internet, someone came to our house and wanted to sign a contract with you, didn't they?"
Ming Ruoyi: "Could it be Liu Qingyang?"
Mother Li: "It's not him. The young man is fine. After you went to the capital, he sent someone to deliver gifts to our family."
Ming Ruoyi: "Then it can only be that annoying, self-righteous Zhang Wu, the one who got bitten on the butt by the snow cake."
Li's mother suddenly realized: "Yes, it's him. I was wondering why he looked so familiar."
Ming Ruoyi: "Where are the others? Are they still there?"
Mother Li: "He left yesterday. He said his vacation was over and he couldn't stay here any longer."
Mingyin was puzzled: "What is he doing here?"
Li's mother: "Who knows? He left without saying anything or doing anything."
Ming Ruoyi: "That's strange."
Mingyin returned to her room and began to organize the money she earned from this trip to the imperial capital. She sat on the desk and took out a small notebook.
He took out a pen from the pen holder and wrote on it: "The advertising fee for the snow cake endorsement is 2 million, Fang Xiangjun gave her 500,000, Xu Jingxue gave her 1 million for the autograph of the best actor she wanted, and 3 million as a thank you fee for helping the best actor find a cat, a total of 6.5 million."
Ming Ruoyi entered the bedroom and saw the deposits recorded by her sister. To her, each deposit was a huge sum of money.
"Wow! Sister, you've become a wealthy woman."
Mingyin smiled and said, "Yes. Xiaoyi, I plan to pay off all the family debts ahead of time. Do you need me to help you pay off your portion?"
Ming Ruoyi waved her hand: "No need. Sister, we agreed when we were in school that we would each pay half of the family debt. But..." She smiled and said: "You can help me pay it off first, and then I will pay you back the money from home, so that I don't have to pay the interest."
Mingyin nodded: "Okay, I respect your choice."
Ming Ruoyi said happily: "Thank you, sister."
Mingyin: "But do you really not need me to give you money for your university living expenses? Or you can borrow from me?"
Ming Ruoyi twisted her fingers and said, "I really need to borrow some money from you." She said, "The money I earn from working is not enough to spend."
Girls who go to college have a lot of money to spend, including partying with friends, buying various study materials, and going shopping and eating with classmates from time to time.
As she grew older, she became more interested in beauty and spent more and more on clothes, shoes, and cosmetics.
Because of her family's financial situation, she has always lived a frugal life and never buys new clothes or shoes. At the end of the year, she has only a few pieces of clothes to wear.
Mingyin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll transfer 500,000 to you later. If it's not enough, you can ask me for more. Go shopping with your classmates on the weekend and buy some new clothes and shoes, and bring me a new outfit."
Mingyin thought of her sister's best friend who was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. Although her sister didn't say it, she knew that she was actually a little inferior in front of her best friend.
When Ming Ruoyi heard the number of five hundred thousand, she opened her mouth in shock: "Five hundred thousand? Sister, you're giving me too much, right? I'm afraid I'll spend more than I can afford and won't be able to pay it back..."
Mingyin smiled and said, "How can I really ask you to pay me back? Ever since Xuebing came to this house, have you and mom taken good care of him and bought him all kinds of delicious and fun things?"
Ming Ruoyi nodded: "Yes."
Mingyin: "Now that Snow Cake can make money on his own, shouldn't he repay you?"
Ming Ruoyi was stunned for a moment: "Report...Report?"
Mingyin: "Well, so this 500,000 yuan is just a gift to you as a snow cake."
She knew that her sister was stubborn, and even if her elder sister had money, she would never ask her for money, so the reason she gave was quite good and reasonable.
Ming Ruoyi was still a little dazed when she came out.
"…Is this money a gift from Xuebing to me?"
"Why does it sound weird?"
The next day, several debt collectors came to our house.
Mother Li poured each of them a cup of tea.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Isn't it the repayment period yet? Why did you come here so early?"
"Li Ying, I know, but we have no choice. I have been running a supermarket for the past few years, but the performance has not been good. There are more and more competitors around me. I plan to expand and renovate my supermarket and add some new things, so I must get this money back today."
"Me too, Li Ying. Although we have been friends for many years and I lent you money out of consideration for your ex-husband, now..."
"Li Ying, although I didn't lend you much money, my wife urged me to come to you...I'm sorry."
Each of them has his own excuse.
"Li Ying, isn't your eldest daughter an internet celebrity? She should be making a lot of money."
They looked around the house and found that it was the same as when they came last time. There were no new furniture, but there was a dog and a cat in the house.
Oh, and there's also a little ugly fish.
Mingyin was preparing to do a live broadcast today, but when she heard some noise outside, she came out.
When Li's mother saw Yinyin, she quickly let her in.
"It's okay, Mom will take care of it."
Debt collectors had come to their home before, and after so many years, she had always stumbled here.
Mingyin looked at the large table of people sitting in the living room and said softly, "Mom, are these people here to collect debts?"
Upon hearing this, Li's mother sighed.
"It's because my mother is incompetent that my two daughters cannot enjoy the good life with me. Instead, they have to earn money to support themselves no matter what they do."
Mingyin held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, it's okay. If they don't come to see us, I won't have to go to their homes one by one."
She had originally planned to pay off her family's debts in one go these few days, and now it was just right that she didn't have to go there in person.
When those sitting on the sofa saw Mingyin, their eyes lit up.
"You must be Mingyin, right? I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown so big and beautiful."
"Tsk tsk, I heard you've become a big internet celebrity, you're really promising."
Mingyin was heard in the living room, so Li's mother went to the kitchen to wash the fruit.
