Ji Xia turned around, and Lin Haodong followed a female educated youth to the educated youth courtyard.
Chen Jing, not knowing what was going on, even brought his cousin Chen Qiuyu along, running after them.
He sneered and mocked Lin Haodong, and the educated youth around him looked at him with disdain and contempt, which made Lin Haodong tremble with anger.
He glared at Chen Jing, then lowered his voice and said to Ji Xia, "Can't you just back down? Why do you have to make things so ugly?"
"Paying back debts is a matter of principle. Is it shameful for me to chase after debtors? Isn't it shameful for you to be caught red-handed by the militia while having sex in the wild?"
As soon as Ji Xia spoke, a group of educated youth gasped in surprise, their strange gazes shifting back and forth between Lin Haodong and Liu Pianran.
Liu Pianran's expression darkened; she had thought Ji Xia didn't mind at all.
But thinking that the bigger Ji Xia's fuss became, the less likely it was for them to be together, and that Lin Haodong still had to marry her, he calmly raised his chin.
Lin Haodong frowned upon hearing this and grabbed Ji Xia's wrist, saying, "Come with me, let's talk over there."
With a "slap," Ji Zhijun stepped forward and slapped his hand away, pulling Ji Xia behind him: "Say what you have to say here. You already have a fiancée, so stop pulling and tugging at me."
Lin Haodong's face darkened slightly, and he suppressed his anger as he said to Ji Zhijun, "Brother, my fiancée has always been Ji Xia, there will be no one else."
"Don't call me big brother, you don't deserve it." Ji Zhijun spat.
"Yesterday, when you and Liu Zhiqing were caught having an affair, you said Liu Zhiqing was your fiancée and promised to get a marriage certificate immediately." Chen Jing also stood next to Ji Zhijun.
"I heard that your names have been written down. If you don't bring your marriage certificate to cancel the record within three days, you'll be taken to the inspection team. Lin Haodong, if you're taken to the inspection team, you won't be able to go to university."
Lin Haodong's face turned pale and then red, his eyes glaring venomously at Chen Jing. Suddenly, he shoved him hard, saying, "This is between Ji Xia and me, what's it to you?"
"Your bullying of her is my responsibility."
Chen Jing sneered and slapped Lin Haodong, pushing him backward: "You've already embarrassed yourself in public, and you still have the nerve to keep bothering her."
"Bullshit."
The two men faced each other angrily, their eyes fixed on one another, panting heavily like bulls in a fight.
Ji Xia glanced at her coldly and beckoned to Liu Pianran with her finger: "What do you think? Do you want to get a marriage certificate with Lin Haodong?"
Liu Pianran could tell that Lin Haodong was still reluctant to let go of Ji Xia and had no intention of repaying the money.
However, she still smiled confidently: "Even if I don't pay back the money, he will still marry me."
"Yes, even if he doesn't pay back the money, and you don't pay back the money either, he can still marry you."
Ji Xia looked at her calmly: "However, can you still go to university in the city? Do you have the opportunity to leave the countryside and return to the city?"
"If I write a letter to the Dean of Academic Affairs at South China University of Technology, what do you think your chances of maintaining the status quo are?"
Liu Pianran's smile vanished, and she glared at her with a sinister look: "Aren't you afraid he'll hate you?"
"Do you think I care if I dare to come looking for you to collect a debt?"
Ji Xia shrugged again as she spoke: "I'm a very calculating person. I'll take anything, but I'll never suffer a loss."
I won't hold your youth, emotional wounds, or physical trauma of this past year against you, but I won't get back the money I spent on him. Don't blame me for fighting to the death!
Lin Haodong and Chen Jing glared at each other fiercely for a moment, then Lin Haodong suddenly shouted, "I misjudged you. I never thought you were such a petty and stingy person."
"It's still better than your despicable and shameless behavior." Chen Jing sneered, refusing to budge an inch.
These tactics no longer work on Ji Xia after her rebirth. Just think about how much she suffered and how many scornful looks she endured after her divorce in her previous life, leaving with nothing and raising a seven or eight-year-old daughter.
She raised her voice with a cold laugh: "You eat my food, drink my drinks, and use my things, and I can't even complain? Why should I?"
"You think you can get away with anything? You're all that, with your big mouth and wishful thinking?"
"You have bad teeth, you're a freeloader and a mama's boy?"
Chen Jing chuckled and looked over. Ji Xia turned around with a cold smile, her gaze meeting Chen Jing's. The man's eyes held a hint of excitement and a touch of exhilaration, his deep eyes filled with a soft light.
Why are you so happy to see her and Lin Haodong tearing each other apart?
Ji Xia turned her face away nonchalantly: "Liu Zhiqing, give me back the money I spent on him, and I promise I will never bother your man again, and I will get my marriage certificate and go to university smoothly. You can't even bear to part with two hundred yuan?"
Liu Pianran thought about it. There was only one college student in the entire brigade. If she gave up, where could she find another one? Besides, her name was written down yesterday. If things really escalated, she and Lin Haodong would be the ones who suffered.
Looking at the plum blossom watch and the four feet of cloth on the table, they were worth about 150 or 160 yuan. If she paid for them, she wouldn't actually lose much.
However, she glanced back at Lin Haodong. She had spent money on him, and she had to make him remember this favor, otherwise her money would have been wasted.
"I'll discuss it with Haodong."
Ji Xia waved her hand: "Go ahead, let's discuss it. Give me a clear answer on whether to return it or not, so I can make a decision."
Liu Pianran, looking distressed, pulled Lin Haodong aside and discussed with him what Ji Xia had just said.
Upon hearing that he had written a letter to the Dean of Academic Affairs at South China University of Technology, Lin Haodong's expression darkened slightly. He hadn't informed anyone about his university admission, yet Ji Xia somehow knew.
This must have been found out by Secretary Ji. That man had served in the army for several years and I heard he has several old comrades-in-arms in the city and has a lot of connections.
He secretly resented Ji Xia and Secretary Ji for refusing to help him; the only person who could repay his debts was Liu Zhiqing.
Lin Haodong was still hesitating when Liu Pianran lowered her head and sighed softly, "It's all my fault for making things like this. I understand that she's upset. Let's return the money as some compensation."
"You decide what to do, but I don't have the money. Should I tell her to wait a few more years until I graduate from university and start earning money before paying her back?"
Liu Pianran knew that Lin Haodong couldn't repay the debt, and hesitated before advising, "I'm afraid she won't agree."
"I can't stop you if you don't want to. Anyway, I have no money, but I can take your life."
Liu Pianran subtly relayed Lin Haodong's words to Ji Xia, who couldn't help but sneer: "Forget about your lives, consider the two hundred yuan as me buying out your future. You don't need to worry about university anymore, just focus on farming!"
She waved to Ji Zhijun, Chen Jing, and the others, saying, "Let's go. Consider this money as feeding the dogs."
Chen Jing laughed and said, "I'll have my dad go to the city tomorrow to have a chat with the leaders. I'll make sure you get your revenge."
The group turned to leave, but Lin Haodong, his face dark, shouted, "I have no money right now, what can I do? Ji Xia, are you really that heartless?"
"Lin Haodong, you have no money but love to live off women. You are the king of the gigolo world, the fighter jet among scumbags. When it comes to shamelessness and shamelessness, you are number one in the world."
Ji Xia glanced back at the two men with disdain: "Since you're both shameless anyway, and you can't even get two hundred yuan by cheating and swindling, you might as well just keep wielding your hoes."
