"Aunt Zheng, Su Zhenzhu isn't going to the countryside anymore, so her subsidy needs to be returned, right?" Su Ruyi suddenly realized, "Then why don't you just use Su Jin's subsidy to make up for it?"
Once the money was in her pocket, Su Ruyi had no intention of returning it.
“But…” Officer Zheng’s voice trailed off, “I’ve already spent some money… I know I did something wrong, but… but Aunt Zheng had no other choice… her grandson was sick…”
"How much do you have left?" Su Tong asked.
"We can still... scrape together a hundred," Officer Zheng said expectantly.
“Okay, Aunt Zheng, I’ll make up the money for you, but there’s one condition,” Su Ruyi said.
"Really? Ruyi, you saved my life!" Officer Zheng knew perfectly well that if her underhanded scheme was exposed, she would definitely lose her job. She stammered, "What are the conditions?"
“No matter who in our family comes to you, just insist that it was Guan Yumei who registered you and that she took the money, that’s all,” Su Ruyi said slowly.
"Can this really work?" Officer Zheng's eyes widened. "Isn't this just blatant lying?"
“Of course,” Su Tong said. “I came with my mom. She felt sorry for me and let me stay so she could sign up others for the rural assignments, and she told me to keep it a secret. She also took the rural assignment allowance.”
Upon hearing this, Officer Zheng's eyes darted around several times: "This...it really can work!"
Su Tong laughed and said, "Of course it can be done. You have your own office, and no one will see you. Now, take out your hundred yuan, and Ruyi will make up the difference for you."
After rummaging through his pockets for a while and counting several times, Officer Zheng handed over a large wad of small bills: "One hundred yuan."
Su Ruyi took it and put it in her pocket.
Officer Zheng didn't react at all, still standing there dumbfounded with his mouth agape: "Ruyi, where...where's your hundred?"
Su Ruyi laughed and said, "I gave it to my mother. I have to give her this hundred too! As for Su Zhenzhu's rural allowance, we'll have to trouble you to come home with us now and ask Guan Yumei for it back."
Zheng stood there stunned for a long time before she realized that in this whole thing, she had essentially taken a hundred yuan from Su Zhenzhu for nothing!
It was a waste of money, no need to pay it back!
Officer Zheng's expression relaxed, and his eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Su Ruyi and her brother.
She's incredibly lucky that things were resolved so satisfactorily!
