Chapter 100 Lin Fang Wants to Share the Money
Zhuang's father and mother began a long wait, hoping that their youngest son would come out.
But after waiting for a week, there was no news, so Zhuang's father went to find Li Yuanhang.
"Uncle, please come in!"
Li Yuanhang was still at home, and Zhuang's father breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yuanhang! I've been checking for a week and haven't received any news, so I wanted you to go and ask what the situation is."
Li Yuanhang told Zhuang's father without hesitation:
"I'm just as anxious as you are. I even went to ask about it yesterday, and they said there's been some progress! But the machinery factory is a big one, and considering the amount of money involved and the nature of the incident, this is a major case, so it's going to take some time, at least another two weeks, maybe a month. Uncle, you mustn't worry. You and Aunt should take care of yourselves."
"It's good to see progress." Father Zhuang nodded.
Li Yuanhang patted Zhuang's father on the back affectionately and said:
"Don't worry, I'm really concerned! We can't keep going to them. If we do, they'll think we don't trust them, and then they'll just return the money and stop helping us. What will we do then, right?"
"Yes, yes, Yuanhang, you are right. You should pay more attention to it."
"I will, don't worry."
Li Yuanhang made a solemn promise, and Zhuang's father returned home with peace of mind.
Lin Fang has been feeling very at ease recently and has been working even harder than usual. It seems that she has great confidence that Zhuang Ganmei will be able to return.
As soon as Zhuang's father came back, Lin Fang asked him about the situation more eagerly than Zhuang's mother. She was very happy to hear that there was progress.
During dinner, Lin Fang saw that the royal jelly in the cabinet was finished, so she said to Zhuang's mother:
"Mom, we've finished the royal jelly. Go buy some more! Zhendong and Zhenbei won't be able to sleep well at night without it."
"Afang! Our family has already borrowed more than a thousand dollars in foreign debt in order to catch up with the United States, so... we should try to save as much as we can!" Zhuang's mother said in embarrassment.
"Yes! Just forget about it because this is something you can eat or not! From now on, you should take out twenty dollars from your monthly salary. Your mother and I will each take out twenty dollars, a total of sixty dollars. We will save it to pay off the debt!" Zhuang's father also advised.
"Dad, Mom, it's okay for me to suffer, but you can't let the children suffer! Zhendong and Zhenbei are the hope of the Zhuang family in the future!" Lin Fang began to show her displeasure.
"But I really don't have it on hand right now. Let's wait until I get my salary! As soon as I get my salary, I will buy it for them." Zhuang's mother spread her hands.
Lin Fang glared, suppressed her anger, and nodded, "Okay! Then don't forget it when the time comes."
"Definitely not, definitely not. When have I ever forgotten about Zhendong and Zhenbei?" Zhuang's mother replied quickly.
The next day Lin Fang went to find Li Yuanhang.
Li Yuanhang was drinking wine with peanuts, feeling quite comfortable.
Seeing Lin Fang coming, he hurriedly asked: "Have you eaten yet? Come, have something to eat."
"I'm worried every day, but you're enjoying your meal!" Lin Fang rolled her eyes at him.
"There's nothing to worry about. Look, am I right? Old Zhuang will definitely come to see me in a week or so. I said at least two weeks. He won't come again during this period."
Li Yuanhang looked indifferent.
"So what should we do next?" Lin Fang asked while grabbing a handful of peanuts and eating them.
"Of course, we live our carefree life!" Li Yuanhang said with a smile.
"Then give me the money that should be divided among me first. Don't forget, among these four thousand yuan, there are also five hundred yuan of my own!" Lin Fang stretched out her hand to Li Yuanhang.
Li Yuanhang held her in his arms and said affectionately:
"Oh, are we still separated? Didn't I tell you I'm setting up a business in Shanghai? I'll invest all this money in it. In two years, no, in less than two years, I'll be making a fortune. I'm not worried about not having a good life with you. Everything will be yours!"
"But I'm penniless now! I have two children with me! We're left with nothing." Lin Fang pushed him away.
"Don't you get a salary every month? Those two old guys also get a salary, so they are afraid of having no money to spend!" Li Yuanhang came over again.
Lin Fang couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Li Yuanhang away.
Li Yuanhang was caught off guard and the stool tilted, causing him to sit down on the ground.
"Li Yuanhang! You don't want to keep it all for yourself!" Lin Fang asked.
"How is this possible!" Li Yuanhang jumped up from the ground.
"Then give me the money!" Lin Fang yelled.
"Okay, okay, I've hidden all the money, but I still have over fifty on hand. I'll give it to you first. Please don't be angry. We've been together for so many years, and you still don't trust me. If I had any second thoughts, I would have found someone else long ago! I will still wait for you!"
Li Yuanhang said as he walked to the bedside table, opened the drawer, took out an iron box and opened it in front of Lin Fang.
Inside was a stack of small change, which added up to about fifty yuan.
He closed the box and stuffed it into Lin Fang's hands, then threw her down:
"Hey, I'll give it all to you. The box and the person are all yours..."
Afterwards, Lin Fang asked as she put on her clothes: "Tell me, what should we do next?"
"You! Don't worry about anything. This matter has nothing to do with you, right? I didn't let you participate because I was afraid of getting you involved. Tell me, am I good to you?"
Li Yuanhang lit a cigarette and blew smoke rings into the air, feeling very comfortable.
"When the time comes, they can come to me and tell me that this matter cannot be done."
"There won't be any problem, right?" Lin Fang was a little worried.
"Of course not. Think about it, they're so concerned about their reputation, how dare they tell anyone about this? Besides, I'm just a matchmaker. I didn't take the money, and I didn't write the note, right? If they want to find someone, they'll look for that person. That person is in trouble, and he'd have run away long ago after taking the benefits. Let's see where they can find him!"
"You have to give me half of my money anyway!"
"Here, here, here. You have to wait until they stop bothering us before you take it. If you take it now, where are you going to hide it? If someone finds out that you have extra money, it will be exposed!" Li Yuanhang explained.
Lin Fang thought about it and it seemed to be true. She would not get any money and get into trouble.
She picked up the iron box next to the pillow, took out the big bills inside and put them in her pocket.
"You still care about me! You even remember to leave some money for me." Li Yuanhang pinched Lin Fang's waist.
"Go, go, go! I'm going back first."
Lin Fang pushed his hand away, packed herself up and prepared to go out.
"Hey, where are the things you were asked to bring?"
"That's the bag. You can give it away if you want. If you don't want it, you can put it somewhere else. But don't burn it!"
"No, country girls don't care about style. Your old clothes are better than patched ones!"
"It can't be my beloved sister!" Lin Fang glanced at him.
"How is that possible? You are the only one I have."
Li Yuanhang opened the bundle and looked through it. It was neither new nor old, and not very worn out, so he felt relieved.
