Chapter 10 Debt Collection
Without waiting for the two siblings to reply, Chen Qing also remembered that she had run out of toothpaste, so she shouted towards the kitchen, "He Yuxiang!"
"what!"
He Yuxiang replied angrily.
Chen Qing ignored his tone and asked, "How much is a tube of toothpaste?"
"50 cents, and some daily necessities coupons."
Actually: a tube of toothpaste costs 4.50 cents.
But who cares!
If she finds out, the worst that can happen is that I’ll get beaten up, but I can at least hide five cents!
Five cents can buy half a pound of corn flour, and half a pound of corn flour can make four steamed corn bread, which can help them live two more days.
Chen Qing handed him the fifty cents he had gotten from Li Hehua, and went to look for the daily necessities tickets and fifty cents.
"The remaining fifty cents is for vegetables."
When He Yuxiang took it, he was secretly happy that he could hide money again! At the same time, he reminded quietly: "The firewood at home is gone."
"firewood?"
Chen Qing went to take a look at the place where the firewood was stored.
There is indeed only a little left.
She recalled what the original owner had done. It was really inhumane to let two children walk ten kilometers to chop firewood and carry two bundles of firewood back a long distance on a shoulder pole.
"Use these first. If they're not enough later, I'll find another way."
Although people in the factory avoided her, there were still some warm-hearted comrades.
For example: Director Lin of the Women's Federation.
I'll go ask her tomorrow which fellow villager sends better firewood.
Although the villagers are simple and honest, some of them are mean-spirited and like to bully young people. They are prone to sending wet firewood to them. Chen Qing doesn't want to be cheated.
"good."
He Yuxiang agreed.
His shoulders ached when he thought of those days.
Chen Qing asked them to take a shower first, and then went back to the house to sew some clothes.
She just came out, having prepared a set of girl's clothes.
This pink plaid cotton and linen blend is fortunately the original owner has average aesthetic taste but good money, so this fabric has a certain degree of breathability and comfort.
The style she made is a sleeveless dress with a loose cut and simple and elegant design. The pink color is soft and has a warm feeling, which is very suitable for the current weather and He Yuting's appearance.
Chen Qing now sews men's clothing, including fake two-piece sports tops and simple shorts, with a sporty style as the main focus.
Making men's clothing is relatively simple. After all, Chen Qing does not intend to design any fancy styles.
Chen Qing also lightly embellished the chest of the girl's clothes with two colorful flowers to make the clothes more beautiful, but this is not necessary for men's clothes.
"Aunt, we're done, you can take a shower later."
He Yuting came over and called out.
"Okay, I understand." After Chen Qing finished sewing the piece of cloth on his hand, he went to take a shower.
Although they have electric lights, they are expensive, more expensive than candles, and most people are reluctant to use them.
Therefore, bathing needs to be done in bright light.
Chen finished his bath and put his clothes in the dirty laundry basin.
Although she wanted to be good to the two children, she was not ready to be too nice to them all of a sudden, and she still had to do the work she was supposed to do.
When she lay in bed sleeping, she had no idea what big things would happen the next day!
Originally, Chen Qing was going to push the party forward and finalize the banquet dishes with the cafeteria chef, but when he passed by the logistics department, he was stopped by Yang Xiujing.
"Xiaoqing, I have something to talk to you about."
"I have something to do right now."
As a debtor, Chen Qing wanted to stay away from his creditors.
There is no other way. Now her pockets are empty. If she is asked to pay back the debt, she will be doomed!
"It doesn't matter if you take a few minutes. Let's chat."
Yang Xiujin was told by many people in an ambiguous tone that he was "lucky" early in the morning. The strange expressions made him feel uncomfortable all over.
After some inquiries, he found out that Li Hehua loved him, and Chen Qing took money from Li Hehua and deliberately hooked him!
Yang Xiujin was not surprised that Li Hehua liked him. After all, he was good in all aspects, and it was normal for women to admire him.
But how could Chen Qing take his money and ask for Li Hehua's money at the same time?
What do you take him for?!
Chen Qing held his forehead with his hand: As expected, what is coming cannot be avoided.
Everyone in the logistics department popped their heads out at the same time, stretched their necks to look, and saw them leaving shoulder to shoulder, and they all started talking about it.
"Director Yang is angry."
"How can I not be angry? He spent so much money on Chen Qing, but Chen Qing didn't even consider him as a partner."
"This woman is disgusting. Whoever marries her will be unlucky!"
…
Everyone looked down on Chen Qing for asking so many things from gay men but not having a girlfriend.
Everyone hopes that Director Yang can be more sober and not fall in love with the wrong person. Even if Chen Qing is as beautiful as a fairy, she can't stop her fickleness!
Yang Xiujin, who was worried about by everyone in the logistics department, was indeed very angry. He originally thought that he had Chen Qing in his hands, but who could have imagined that he would be outmaneuvered!
"Xiao Qing, why did you take Li Hehua's money?"
"Director Yang, we are not related. You are so much older than me. You can just call me Comrade Chen, or Xiao Chen."
Chen Qing corrected his address.
Yang Xiujin panicked and asked hurriedly, "Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you?"
"I don't want others to misunderstand that there is a relationship between us, especially since you lent me so much money. In fact, I am very grateful to you and don't want to delay your marriage."
Chen Qing's words sounded very high-sounding.
Yang Xiujin didn't believe a word of it.
He has been with Chen Qing for so long, how could he not understand Chen Qing?
She is very vain and has a high opinion of herself. She thinks that everyone in the world should flatter her. She is selfish and how could she think so much?
Thinking of the recent rumors, Yang Xiujin's face darkened slightly: "Are you in love with Researcher He?"
"No."
"Xiaoqing, perhaps the relationship between us has troubled you, but I have always treated you with the love of a brother to a sister. You don't need to think too much. As for Researcher He, he may not stay in our machinery factory. I heard that his identity is not very good either. He comes from a capitalist family."
Yang Xiujin's words were sincere and heartfelt.
It seemed as if it was natural for him to be nice to Chen Qing.
He also stood in the position of a 'brother' and advised her sincerely.
Chen Qing admires his language skills.
No wonder the original owner was caught.
This is definitely an old fox!
"Director Yang, all my elders are dead. I advise you to consider your daughter and not ask to be my brother."
Her eyes were so sincere that Yang Xiujin was choked.
"Don't believe those rumors. In my heart, you have always been a very good girl..."
"I know I'm fine, and aren't those who spread those rumors feudal and superstitious? Director Yang, am I right?"
Chen Qing looked at him with a smile.
Yang Xiujin shuddered, propped up the slightly slipping frame with his fingers, and smiled gently: "You are right, you have really grown up to think that way. Actually, I have a problem recently, and I have been hesitating whether to tell you."
Chen Qing: "What difficulty?"
Yang Xiujin: "My family is short of money recently."
