Chapter 26 Didn’t you find the money?
Li Jianye felt ashamed and refused to go back to the countryside. He insisted on staying in Chunfeng Town to find a job and looking for his old friends to treat him to dinner.
So Li Jianye currently goes out drinking with others every day, drinking without knowing the difference between east and west, north and south. Once a person drinks to this extent, he cannot take care of himself. The people in the guesthouse are also annoyed by alcoholics like him, and are afraid that he will go crazy or die from drinking. They are unwilling to take care of Li Jianye, and even want to kick him out and not entertain him.
Wang Yulian had no choice but to run out every night to look after Li Jianye and prevent him from being kicked out.
Lin Xinran had always disliked Li Jianye because of what happened before. Now when she saw her mother was about to go out, she pretended not to see it and turned her head back to her dormitory.
Wang Yulian knew that her daughter was unhappy, but she had to find Li Jianye quickly, so she didn't care whether her daughter was happy or not, but quickly walked out of the dormitory and ran downstairs.
After leaving the garment factory, she went all the way to the small hotel.
Because they ran into Shi Meilan after leaving the previous small hotel, which was considered unlucky, they changed to a different small hotel this time. This small hotel was smaller than the previous one, but the price was also a little cheaper.
Li Jianye's room was at the very end of the second floor. The rooms were separated by thin wooden boards. They were not very big and had no windows. There was just a bed.
Such wooden doors are not strong, and some doors don’t even have locks. Wang Yulian walked to the door and pushed it gently, and the door opened.
Li Jianye was sleeping soundly in bed, with the smell of alcohol lingering around him.
Wang Yulian walked over and saw that he had fallen asleep, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to serve a drunkard, and now that she saw him asleep, she felt a little better.
She was planning to leave, but as soon as she moved, Li Jianye woke up from the bed, sat up sleepily, stared at her, and said, "Yulian, you're here."
He looked like he was awake.
Wang Yulian paused as she was about to leave. She slowly walked to the bed and sat down, asking him, "Are you sober?"
Li Jianye nodded, his words carrying a hint of fatigue. He rubbed his face and said, "I have something else to tell you."
Wang Yulian asked, "What?"
"The college entrance exam is almost here," Li Jianye said. "Tianci should come to town to take it."
The college entrance examination is held in the school in the town, not in the village, so Li Tianci has to rent a house here to take the exam.
But he has no money now.
Li Jianye could only come to Wang Yulian and say, "Go borrow some money from your colleagues, and when the time comes, you can pay it back together."
Wang Yulian was a little overwhelmed. She said, "Where can I borrow money? How can I lend you so much money?"
Their factory pays out on the 15th of every month, and she's only been here a few days! She hasn't even gotten her first paycheck yet, and she's already constantly asking others for money!
Which kind person would keep lending her money like this?
She also started to get annoyed at this time. Not to mention that Li Jianye had so many things to do every day, why did Li Jianye's family have so many things to do?
"Go out and borrow it! You have such a good job, you can always borrow money! It's not like we don't want to pay it back. Didn't you borrow it before?" Li Jianye was also annoyed. He didn't know whether it was the smell of alcohol that clouded his brain or the alcohol that fueled his anger, but his roar was even louder than Wang Yulian's.
I don’t know where his anger came from. It was obviously him who asked Wang Yulian to borrow money, but he was more arrogant than Wang Yulian.
Wang Yulian just raised a slight objection, and he jumped up and turned hostile as if his tail was stepped on.
"Where can I borrow money from?" Wang Yulian said anxiously, "My colleagues are not my parents, how can they keep lending me money?"
Li Jianye shouted, "You can't even go out and borrow money? With a job like this, anyone can borrow money, so why can't you?"
"Since you want to borrow money, go back to Lijia Village and borrow it." Wang Yulian shouted, "If I can lend you money, you have to borrow it too."
"I can't." Li Jianye immediately denied: "I can't embarrass myself again. I've already left home and can't go back to borrow money."
He now seems both arrogant and inferior. He obviously has no money and the situation is already very bad, but he still thinks that "Wang Yulian going out to borrow money" is not a big deal. But if you ask him to borrow money, he will feel ashamed.
He seemed to be competing with himself.
Once people fall into this situation, nothing they do will work.
"I had a falling out with my family just to marry you." Li Jianye started talking about the past. He had only complained slightly before, but now he added, "If I had known this would happen, I would never have been with you."
If he had known that Shi Meilan could find such a good job, and if he had known that he would become like this after the divorce, why would he have divorced?
After he divorced Shi Meilan, Wang Yulian almost dragged him down. Not only did he lose his job, but his reputation at home was also ruined. Now, even if Wang Yulian went out to borrow some money, she couldn't get it back!
He spent two hundred yuan to find a job for Wang Yulian!
Wang Yulian hadn't meant to argue with him, but after hearing this, she couldn't help herself and turned hostile on the spot, shouting at Li Jianye, "What else do you want from me? Are you the only one who did this embarrassing thing? Am I not embarrassed? I'm also trying my best to make it up to you! Why are you still so reluctant? I don't owe you anything, why do you blame me for your unhappiness?"
The two started arguing again.
Li Jianye shouted, "If it weren't for you! If it weren't for you, how could I be like this? If I had known earlier, I would have apologized to Shi Meilan!"
"Shi Meilan was so good to me back then! She would rather take on the debt herself than give me money. She never said anything bad about me. She even helped me borrow the two hundred yuan. What about you?"
If he had known this day would come, he would have definitely held on to Shi Meilan and refused to divorce!
When Wang Yulian heard Li Jianye say that he "regretted", she became anxious all of a sudden. A surge of anger burst out of her chest and rushed into her heart, making her completely irrational.
Isn’t it that Li Jianye regrets now that “Shi Meilan is better than her”?
She couldn't accept such a contrast. She had done so many things to get Li Jianye, so she couldn't accept "Li Jianye's regret."
Li Jianye was the one she had dug out from Shi Meilan with untold hardships. He was her medal of honor that proved she was no worse than others. She couldn't lose Li Jianye!
"It's just money!" Wang Yulian immediately stood up and shouted, "I'll lend it to you too! I'll lend it to you right now!"
After shouting this, Wang Yulian turned around and left.
When she came out of the hotel, driven by the competitive spirit of "not being able to lose", she walked out of the small hotel and went to the Shen's Restaurant alone.
She will definitely be able to get the money, she will definitely be better than Shi Meilan, Li Jianye will definitely not regret being with her!
She knew that Tong Dazhi had been here recently. Before getting off work tonight, Tong Dazhi wanted to take her to have a drink with the boss Feng, but she didn't want to go and declined. But now, she is willing.
With this energy, she found the box again.
Sometimes, people always have to hurt themselves to prove that they can do something, but in fact, it is not worth it to spend so much effort just to get the approval of someone who doesn't care about you.
But once people get stuck in it, it is difficult to get out, just like Wang Yulian now. In order to prove that she can also make money and to make Li Jianye feel that marrying her is better than marrying Shi Meilan, she has taken another path step by step.
Sometimes, some paths are chosen by ourselves, but some people's paths are pushed by others when they are confused.
But sometimes, these people are just too stupid. Even if others want to feel sorry for her, they can't say a word of comfort.
——
Tong Dazhi and Boss Feng were drunk in the box. They were drinking and talking, but Boss Feng just wouldn't give in, which made Tong Dazhi very anxious.
It wasn't that Boss Feng didn't want to sign a contract with him. Boss Feng also had the intention to cooperate, but this guy just loved to pester him and make things difficult for him. While drinking, he even asked, "Why didn't that female comrade come with you?"
Tong Dazhi could only smile and say, "As a female comrade, I need to get my beauty sleep tonight. I'll go out for a drink with you tomorrow morning."
Boss Feng snorted coldly and said, "If you don't want to drink, then don't drink. I'm not interested in it."
Tong Dazhi continued to smile apologetically.
As the wine glasses were empty one after another, Tong Dazhi suddenly heard the door of the box being pushed open. He looked up and saw Wang Yulian walking in from outside.
oops!
Tong Dazhi thought his eyes were blurry. How could he see Wang Yulian coming?
But Wang Yulian was more familiar with the situation than him. She quickly walked over to Boss Feng and said, "Boss Feng, I was busy before and didn't have time to come over. I will drink three cups as a punishment today."
As soon as Boss Feng saw Wang Yulian coming, his eyes lit up and he started to attack Wang Yulian.
Wang Yulian didn't hide either.
She also knew that the other party had to touch her twice before she would sign the contract. If he wanted to pay so much money, he must take something from her.
She cooperated and let him touch her.
Tong Dazhi pretended that he could not see it and just kept drinking until very late. Finally, he signed the contract at the dinner table. Boss Feng also said that whenever Wang Yulian came, he would sign the order.
Boss Feng was half drunk and said that he couldn't get up. Tong Dazhi went to send him home. Wang Yulian was also drunk and couldn't get up, so she slept in the box all night.
——
Early the next morning, Wang Yulian was unable to get up and return to the garment factory.
Instead, Lin Xinran woke up early in the morning. She was scared in her dormitory. She opened her eyes anxiously and looked up for more than ten minutes. Finally, she gritted her teeth and got up, put on her work clothes, and went to the cafeteria with trepidation. After eating, she went to the office building.
She arrived just in time, when a lot of people were talking in the office and the atmosphere seemed about the same as usual.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Shi Meilan and Manager Sun talking and laughing. She saw that Shi Meilan looked fine and happy, as if she was not angry at all.
Lin Xinran thought, could it be that he didn’t notice it?
