The starving Ning Xiyue took a mouthful of the soft and chewy pig's trotter with satisfaction. Upon hearing this, she immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and excitedly told her father about her feat of the day. When she talked about the other two people's reactions, she played two roles herself to ensure that the two elders could feel the atmosphere at that time as if they were there.
The two elders were also very supportive, looking at Ning Xiyue with a happy smile and commenting from time to time.
The meal was a very enjoyable one.
During lunch break, Ning Xiyue went out to get some water. When she walked into the living room, she heard a conversation coming from the master bedroom, which was about her. She immediately lowered her footsteps and listened openly in the living room with a thick face.
Ning Hai's smiling voice came from inside the room: "Xiu Lan, I'm really happy today. When Yueyue told us about what happened this morning at noon, it reminded me of when she was little. Whenever she encountered something interesting outside, she would run back and tell us a vivid story. She would be unhappy if I didn't listen to her, and her little mouth would be so pouty that you could hang a bottle of oil on it. I haven't seen Yueyue so lively and happy in a long time. It's great."
"Who said it wasn't true? Ever since she met that son of a bitch Zhang Yuan, my Yueyue has been unhappy. Now, Yueyue has finally figured it out. Every failure is a lesson learned. It can be considered a blessing in disguise, but...sigh..."
Yun Xiulan sighed sadly, "In a few days, Yueyue will be going to the countryside. The work there is so tiring. Yueyue has never suffered any hardship since she was a child. I'm really worried about what I'm going to do if something happens to her there. Old Ning."
"Xiu Lan, don't worry. I think Yueyue has grown up a lot after this incident and can take care of herself. Besides, our Yueyue is so outstanding that she can do well anywhere."
Although Ning Hai was also worried, he still comforted his wife.
"We should bring her some extra money and send her some money and things every month. Even if Yueyue doesn't work in the countryside, she doesn't have to worry about having no food to eat. The place where Yueyue lives in the countryside is not far from Lao Er, we are in the same county. Write a letter to Lao Er and ask him to take care of her. Then, go visit his sister from time to time. The policy has been relaxed a bit recently. We will find a chance to bring Yueyue back."
"That's all I can do. I'll take some time off tomorrow and take Yueyue to buy some things for the countryside."
"Well, go to sleep. I still have things to do in the afternoon."
Ning Xiyue, who listened to the entire conversation in the living room, went from being nervous at first because she was worried that she would be exposed, to feeling relieved, and then to being shocked when she heard about going to the countryside, and finally she was left with only deep emotion.
The original owner's family was really nice and always considered her. Fortunately, her personality was similar to the original owner's before she became love-brained, and even their eating habits were the same, so she wouldn't be exposed.
She had selectively forgotten about the matter of going to the countryside. When she suddenly heard her parents talking about it, she was shocked to find that she would be going to the countryside in a week.
Although she has a sign-in system, she still needs to stock up on more things, prepare early, and make full use of the system backpack.
Fortunately, she could get some money in the afternoon. With money in hand, she would not have to worry. With the money, she could go anywhere, and going to the countryside was no big deal.
Ning Xiyue is now extremely looking forward to Zhang Yuan's arrival. She wishes she could rush to Zhang Yuan's house to get the money back. However, the creditor has to maintain his dignity and cannot lose face, so he will wait until the last minute to repay the debt.
......
In the afternoon, Ning Xiyue didn't even explore the new world. She was waiting at home for Zhang Yuan to come and pay back the money. Money was the most important thing now.
Yun Xiulan was worried about her daughter, so she went to the factory to deal with an urgent task and then hurried home to accompany Ning Xiyue. No matter how much she tried to persuade her, Ning Xiyue could not get over it. She could only let her see with her own eyes that she was no longer love-brained and feel at ease.
There were only five minutes left until six o'clock. Ning Xiyue and her mother had cooked dinner in the kitchen, and Ning's father had also returned home from get off work, but there was no sign of Zhang Yuan.
Ning Xiyue took off her waistband, returned to her room, took out a brick from her system backpack, shook it in her hand a few times, and sneered, "It's time to play your role."
He put away the smile on his face, picked up the brick and walked out of the house with an expressionless face, shouting to Yun Xiulan in the kitchen: "Mom, grab your tools and go."
"Here I am, let's go." Yun Xiulan picked up the kitchen knife from the chopping board and rushed out of the kitchen, following Ning Xiyue. At this moment, the two people's identical expressions and reactions made it clear that they were mother and daughter.
"Hey, you two, mother and daughter, take it easy and wait for me." Ning Hai quickly put down the newspaper in his hand, looked around, ran to the kitchen and grabbed a rolling pin.
Ning Xiyue just opened the door angrily and saw Zhang Yuan raising his hand to knock on the door.
Zhang Yuan was terrified. He saw Ning Xiyue, who was holding a brick and looked cold. He then looked back to see Yun Xiulan, who was brandishing a kitchen knife and looked ferocious. Finally, he saw Ning Hai, who was running towards him with a rolling pin as thick as his arm. He was so scared that he took several steps back. His calves trembled slightly and his voice trembled. "I...I'm...here...to pay back the money."
"Come in." Ning Xiyue's expression became much happier after hearing this, and she lowered her hand holding the brick a little.
"I won't... I won't go in." Zhang Yuan's eyes swept over Ning Xiyue's family, who were holding tools, and then looked at his own thin arms and legs: "This place is good, right... right here."
"My daughter called you in, so come in." Ning Hai walked out the door, grabbed Zhang Yuan by the collar, and dragged him inside like an eagle catching a chick, then threw him to the ground, "Stop talking nonsense."
After Zhang Yuan came to his senses, he heard a bang and watched the door close quickly in front of him. The light outside was blocked out of the door, and his heart sank.
"Where's the money?" Ning Xiyue sat on the bench and played with a brick casually.
Ning Hai and Yun Xiu Lan also sat on each side, similarly fiddling with their weapons, staring at Zhang Yuan on the ground with a fierce look, serving as Ning Xiyue's solid backing.
Zhang Yuan, a poor boy who just graduated from high school, had never seen such a scene before. This family used to look gentle and refined, but now they looked scarier than the small bosses in the black market that he usually came into contact with.
He collapsed to the ground, feeling exhausted, and felt that if he did not do what Ning Xiyue wanted today, he would be beaten up.
The original hope of coaxing Ning Xiyue and trying not to pay back the money or paying back less money had disappeared without a trace. All that was left in my heart was fear, fear that my life was in danger.
Zhang Yuan pulled a box out of his bag with trembling hands and handed it over. He then pulled out stacks of banknotes from various places on his body and handed them over. There was a hint of flattery in his voice: "Six...six hundred yuan is all...here, you count...count it."
