Before dinner, Lu Jiajie said to Lu Jiaxin: "Xinxin, I want to talk to you."

"Come in with me!"

After entering the study, Lu Jiajie apologized: "Brother told me everything. Xinxin, I'm sorry, I didn't expect her to tell anyone about this. I clearly told her not to tell anyone."

Lu Jiaxin didn't scold him this time, she just asked: "Who are Second Uncle and Second Aunt, who is your wife, don't you know?"

"My eldest sister-in-law is so tight-lipped that my eldest brother won't tell her many things. It's not because he doesn't trust her, but because it doesn't involve himself and the family, so there's no need for her to know. If she lets it slip, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and in serious cases, it will affect the family."

Lu Jiajie almost bowed his head to the ground: "Jia Xin, I'm sorry."

"Did Big Brother tell you what happened next?"

"What?"

From his expression, he knew that his elder brother hadn't told him, but he probably didn't find the chance. But Lu Jiaxin wouldn't hide it from him: "When I came back, everything was peaceful, but after a while, many hooligans appeared in Guangming Road, and I was even followed when I went out."

Lu Jiajie was shocked: "Xinxin, why didn't you tell me such a big thing? This is too dangerous."

Lu Jiaxin glanced at him and said, "I didn't go out much at the time, so I didn't know about these things. It was you who came back to find my eldest brother, and he got suspicious and called the chief of the police station that governs our area, and only then did he know that Guangming Road was not peaceful during that time. I later asked Mrs. Xie, and it was because the Xie family intervened that those people with bad intentions retreated."

Lu Jiajie's face turned pale and he asked, "It was your fifth sister-in-law who told the Ma family about the deposit, and then spread the news and attracted those street urchins?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I don't know. Maybe it was the Ma family who leaked the news, maybe it was Ding Jing's doing, or maybe some people were well-informed and knew that I made money and had plans for it. But your behavior has brought me huge hidden dangers."

Lu Jiajie slapped himself on the mouth: "Jiaxin, I'm sorry, I really, really didn't expect it to be like this. Jiaxin, don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and never say anything nonsense again."

"Trust me, I will keep my mouth shut. I didn't tell anyone except my brother about the bonus you gave me this time."

"I didn't tell my eldest brother on purpose. I only told him when he asked me about it when I was paying him back. Jiaxin, I will definitely change in the future. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Lu Jiaxin asked, "How much money did Fifth Sister-in-law borrow from others?"

"Five thousand, but she paid two thousand for Yan Jixiang's house. She sold the gold necklace and gold ring I bought for her when we got married for the remaining five hundred." Lu Jiajie said.

Ma Lili just thought that Lu Jiajie would not know these things, but the Ma family would not hide them, and after a while, the news reached the ears of Ale's mother.

"What are you going to do with this debt?"

Lu Jiajie said: "I can't possibly pay them back. If I pay her back this time, she will have to borrow money to support her parents in the future, and I won't be able to live like this anymore."

It shows you have some brains to think like this.

Lu Jiaxin said, "They lent her the money because they knew you made a lot of money in Yangcheng. If you don't pay it back, they will definitely come to your house to make trouble."

Lu Jiajie smiled bitterly and said, "It has come to our house. Today an old lady came to our house to collect a debt, and she said she would not let us go if we don't pay it back."

Lu Jiaxin didn't give him any advice, but said, "They also worked hard to earn their money, and they lent it to you because they thought you could pay it back. So you can't just give up and say you won't pay it back."

Lu Jiaxin said unhappily, "I didn't ask you to pay back the money, but you have to resolve this matter. After all, those people borrowed money because of you. If this matter is not resolved, what if you encounter an impulsive person who harms Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng?"

"Besides paying back the money, is there any other solution?"

Lu Jiaxin would not give him any advice, and let him think for himself. He came to Sijiucheng to work after finishing high school. He had an uncle who was the general manager of a department store, and he never got bullied in the factory. His marriage was also smooth, and his mother Lu did not worry about the wedding. He also developed a dependent mentality. If there was anything he did not want to solve himself, he would ask Lu Hongjun and Lu Jiaguang for help. It was the same. When there was no one to make a decision, he would just do it as he pleased, but he would not consider the consequences.

Lu Jiaxin's place has many rooms, so Lu Jiajie and his children stayed there.

Lu Jiajie thought about it all night but couldn't come up with a good solution. He thought about it and decided to ask Ah Le for advice. Anyway, he already knew it, so it didn't matter if he was embarrassed. Before leaving, he told Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng to be good and not to disturb Lu Jiaxin, and then left the child to Xiaoqiu to take care of.

Ah Le had never dealt with this before and couldn't think of a good solution, so he pulled his mother over and said, "Mom, do you have any idea that can solve this problem and not have to pay back the money?"

A-Le's mother rolled her eyes at her son, then said to Lu Jiajie, "This is all people's hard-earned money. If you don't pay it back, I'll fight you to death. Even if you don't care about your wife, you have to take care of the two children."

Lu Jiajie said that it was because of this concern that he wanted to resolve this matter.

Ah Le's mother was an experienced person, and she quickly helped him come up with an idea: "The person who borrowed the money this time thought that your family had some emergency, and didn't know that your wife borrowed the money to support her family. You pay the money back, and tell everyone that you will not recognize your wife if she borrows money again. Then no one will dare to borrow money from your wife again."

Lu Jiajie thought for a moment and said, "What if someone doesn't believe in it and thinks that the couple should make peace after a quarrel, and still lends it to her? If I pay it back this time, I will have to pay it back again next time for the sake of the two children. Wouldn't I be working like a slave for the Ma and Yan families for the rest of my life?"

That makes sense.

Ah Le suddenly said, "Then you should cover all the household expenses and let your wife's salary be saved to pay off the debt. Anyway, you earn a lot now, and you don't rely on your wife's salary to live."

Lu Jiajie thought this was a good idea.

When A-Le's mother heard this, she immediately said, "Your wife has to go to work, and there's no one to take care of the children at home, and you don't want to send them to the Ma family. So why not just hire someone to do your laundry, cooking, and picking up the children for you?"

Lu Jiajie said: "My two children are still in kindergarten and don't go home for lunch."

"We have to eat dinner, right? Just ask someone to pick up the kids in the afternoon and cook dinner. It won't cost much, and the kids won't have to go to the Ma family and suffer."

Lu Jiajie thought this was a good idea and planned to ask someone about it.

Ah Le's mother smiled and said, "What are you asking? Just let my eldest sister help you look after the child. She likes children, works efficiently and carefully, and cooks delicious meals."

Lu Jiajie also said simply: "Okay, when do you think Auntie Ale can come over?"

"Let her come after the Lantern Festival."

"Can."
