After returning home, Lu Jiajie thought about it carefully, and when Ma Lili came back from get off work, he said to her, "Invite all the creditors to your house tomorrow."

Ma Lili thought he finally came to his senses and was willing to pay back the money, so she was very happy and even cooked a few delicious dishes. She was very active in lying next to him at night, but Lu Jiajie pushed her away because he was preoccupied with his own thoughts.

Although this attitude made Mary feel a little uncomfortable, she was happy to think that the debt would be paid off soon, and she fell asleep quickly. On the contrary, Lu Jiajie's mind was in a mess, and it took him a long time to fall asleep.

As soon as she got to work the next day, Ma Lili told the people who had borrowed money from her to come to her house after get off work and Lu Jiajie would return the money to them.

Colleague Zheng Panlan also lent Ma Lili 200 yuan. After hearing this, she asked in confusion: "If your man wants to pay back the money, why do we have to go to your house?"

Ma Lili said, "I don't know either. Panlan, please make the trip. I'll treat you to a meal when I get my salary next month."

Zheng Panlan always felt that things were not that simple, but she also wanted to get the money back as soon as possible. She lent the money readily because she knew that Lu Jiajie had made a lot of money in Guangzhou and she was not worried about not being able to pay it back. But she didn't expect that Ma Lili was lending money to her nephew to buy a house, and Lu Jiajie refused to acknowledge it. If he knew, he would not lend it.

Facts proved that Zheng Panlan's premonition was correct. After all seven creditors arrived, Lu Jiajie said that he would not pay back the money.

Ma Lili was about to explode with anger and said, "Lu Jiajie, what do you mean? If you don't want to pay back the money, why did you call them all here?"

Those who borrowed money were also very angry and thought that Lu Jiajie was playing tricks on them.

After the seven people calmed down, Lu Jiajie said, "Lili's current monthly salary is 106. From now on, all expenses of our family will be paid by me, and her salary will be used to repay your debts. She will pay 100 a month, and the debt of 1,500 can be paid off in 15 months."

The old lady who came last time said, "That won't work. I want to see the money now. Lu Jiajie, you obviously have money, why don't you pay us back?"

Lu Jiajie said: "I didn't borrow this money and it's not used in our family. Instead, I used it to buy a house for her nephew. To put it bluntly, I shouldn't pay it back."

The old lady said, "But the money was lent to your wife, so you should pay it back."

Lu Jiajie did not back down and said, "I didn't say I won't pay it back. You just need to wait patiently. It will be the same in the future. I won't acknowledge anything that I didn't borrow from you."

Pointing to the bag on the ground, Lu Jiajie said, "I'm sorry to have you make such a trip. Here are some local specialties I brought. Each of you can take some home to eat!"

The old lady squatted down and untied a bag. She originally thought it was some cheap goods, but it turned out to be dried goods such as mushrooms, fungus, kelp, etc. In addition, there were three big red apples and a bag of oranges. This bag of things must cost more than ten yuan.

The seven people were angry at first, but their anger faded a lot after seeing the things in the bag. Zheng Panlan asked, "Lili, when are you going to pay us back?"

Ma Lili bit her lips until they bled, but Lu Jiajie stood by and said nothing. Under everyone's urging, she clenched her fist and said, "From now on, I will pay you back fifteen yuan every month until I pay it off."

After getting the reply, everyone prepared to take their things back.

Lu Jiajie said: "I also hope that you will tell your relatives and friends when you go back that I will not acknowledge the money she borrowed from me in the future. If I need money, I will borrow it myself."

After what happened this time, who would dare to lend money to Ma Lili?

Lu Jiajie pushed her away and said coldly: "If you continue to make trouble like this, there is no need to live like this anymore."

Ma Lili froze and said in disbelief: "Lu Jiajie, what did you say? Say it again."

Lu Jiajie said coldly, "If you keep making trouble like this, I'll divorce you. Anyway, your heart is with your parents, not with me and the children. After the divorce, it's just right for you to go back and serve your parents and Yan Jixiang wholeheartedly."

He didn't really want a divorce. The two children were still so young, and he had to go out to make money. Who would take care of the children after the divorce? He was worried about leaving them to someone else. Of course, it was impossible to just abandon a seven-year relationship. He said this just to scare Ma Lili and tell her to stop.

Ma Lili thought that Lu Jiajie really wanted to divorce her, so she rushed up to him like crazy and tickled him, "Did you find a vixen outside? Did you use all the money that Lu Jiaxin gave you later on the vixen? Who is that vixen? Tell me."

Lu Jiajie pushed her to the ground: "You are really unreasonable."

Fortunately, he guessed that Ma Lili would still make a fuss, so he didn't bring the two children back, otherwise it would be disastrous if the children saw this scene.

Ma Lili didn't expect him to push her, and she fell to the ground and cut her hand. This time she was really sad: "Lu Jiajie, your conscience has been eaten by a dog. I didn't mind you being poor at first. Now that you have made some money, you go out and find women."

Lu Jiajie was almost angry to death, but he also knew Ma Lili's temper. If he didn't explain, it would cause a big uproar, which might affect Jiaxin and his elder brother. So, he held back his anger and said, "Don't talk nonsense here. I'm exhausted every day in Yangcheng, and I have to take care of children every day when I go back to my hometown. Where can I find a woman?"

Among the five of them, only Sha Xiangyang couldn't stand the loneliness and found a woman, but there was nothing wrong with him being single. As for the other bachelor, Ale, he simply had no money, and his salary and bonus were all in the hands of Ale's mother.

Ma Lili didn't care about the pain, she stared at him and asked, "Are you telling the truth? You didn't find a woman outside."

Lu Jiajie didn't want to face her anymore and turned around and walked out.

Hearing Xiaoqiu's exclamation, Lu Jiaxin walked out. Seeing the scratches on Lu Jiajie's face, she didn't care about the wound on his face, but asked: "Is everything settled?"

Lu Jiajie nodded and explained the process: "I will give her living expenses and the cost of hiring people in the future, and use her salary to pay off debts."

In fact, this arrangement has a hidden danger. That is, Ma Lili might cut money from the food, and then dismiss the hired people while he is not at home to save wages. However, she did not remind him verbally, because only when he suffers a loss will he learn his lesson and think more carefully in the future.

Lu Jiajie asked cautiously: "Jia Xin, do you think I should handle this well?"

Lu Jiaxin didn't comment: "The ancients said it well, cultivate yourself and manage your family to bring peace to the world. If you want to make a career in the future, you must first settle your family affairs. Otherwise, there will be a lot of people holding you back, and you won't be able to accomplish anything."

She thought Lu Jiajie would be soft-hearted and pay back the money, but she didn't expect him to hold on. This was the best way to deal with it. If he really paid back the money, there would be endless trouble.
