After relaxing, He Yurou mustered her courage and handed the second set of clothes, shoes and socks she had bought to Yunping, and then to Lu Sen.
I wasn't so nervous when I gave them to them, but when I gave them to Lu Jingxing, my hands were trembling slightly.
"Thank you," he replied with just two words, without even a smile.
But He Yurou was excited, and a shy smile appeared on her face.
Seeing He Yurou and Lu Jingxing like this, An Wan felt that their ill-fated relationship was too tragic.
Although he wanted them to be together, he didn't like He Yurou, and he couldn't force her to accept someone she didn't like!
Although they look very well-matched when they stand together.
But, if you don't like it, you just don't like it.
A forced relationship will not be sweet.
After sending all the clothes out, He Yurou breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking to myself that this wasn't difficult, and that with experience, it would be much easier next time.
I don't know if Jingxing likes the clothes I bought.
Lu Zhili happily took off his old clothes and put on the new ones to show everyone whether they fit.
To be fair, the clothes He Yurou bought for the Lu family all fit perfectly. At most, the pants were a little too long, but that was much better than them being too short.
Yunping was very happy and satisfied, feeling that He Yurou was well-prepared and had good taste in choosing such suitable clothes.
If the pants are a little too long, you can just alter the cuffs and they'll be wearable again. After a while, when the child grows taller, you can take the cuffs off and they can be worn as new pants for a few more months.
The more Yunping looked at He Yurou, the more suitable she seemed to be Lu Jingxing's wife.
But she also knew that her eldest son didn't like the girl, and she couldn't force them to be a couple!
Besides, their own situation was not good enough for him.
Only if his family reaches the same social status as the He family a few years later will Lu Jingxing be qualified to marry He Yurou.
——
In the evening, three tables were set up for a banquet: one for Lu Sen's family, one for Grandpa He, and one for the driver and nanny. They had a lively and enjoyable meal.
Just as I finished cleaning the table and served tea, someone knocked on the door.
Lu Chunhe went to open the door, only to find that it was Village Chief Yu.
As soon as he arrived, An Wan and the Lu family knew that nothing good was coming.
"Village Chief Yu, please have some tea." Lu Sen said with a smile, although he didn't like Village Chief Yu coming to see him.
Is it because their house collapsed and they have nowhere to live? Are you just showing some concern?
"Lu Sen, you're too kind. I've come to see you today because I want you to pay back the more than one thousand yuan you owe me."
Village Chief Yu didn't beat around the bush; he went straight to the point, being open and honest.
He no longer wanted to waste time with Lu Sen, and had previously asked Lu Sen to introduce him and his daughter to He Sichen several times.
But he was rejected every time.
He had lost his patience.
Now, the only option left is to fight to the death and use the 1,000 yuan debt owed to him by the Lu family to blackmail Lu Sen.
He deduced that Lu Sen was currently in dire straits, needing two to three months of recovery from broken legs before he could find work, and with his house collapsed, he would have no choice but to rely on Old Master He's house.
Given his current dire situation, Lu Sen certainly doesn't have the money to repay his debts.
"Village Chief Yu, this is too sudden! Last time you said you could wait a while to pay back the money." Lu Sen came to his senses and understood what Village Chief Yu meant.
An Wan and the Lu family were all taken aback.
Just last time, Village Chief Yu said there was no rush and that he would pay back the money slowly once his family's situation improved.
That person is truly despicable.
“I didn’t want this either. This severe thunderstorm has caused my family a lot of damage. We need to buy several hundred tiles and hire workers. We can’t do it without money.”
Village Chief Yu pretended not to notice the glares from the Lu family and continued talking to Lu Sen as if they were brothers.
“I know everyone is having a hard time, but as you can see, I’m in this situation right now. I really can’t come up with the money in a short time. Village Chief Yu, could you wait a while? I’ll definitely pay you back in three months.”
Lu Sen was cautious and didn't tell Village Chief Yu that he would repay the money immediately.
An Wan had originally planned to use the 10,000 yuan she earned to pay off her debts.
But the house collapsed yesterday, and we're currently staying at Grandpa He's house. It's fine for the short term, but it will cause a lot of conflicts if it goes on for too long.
There are currently no houses available for rent in the village. There used to be many, but they were all destroyed by the thunderstorms in the past few days.
Unless they move to a town or county seat, but renting a house for a long time is a huge expense.
Therefore, he plans to use 10,000 yuan to build a new house in the village.
I don't ask for it to be built to be great, but at least I need a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
An Wan secretly gave Lu Sen a thumbs up, indicating her approval.
The fact that Village Chief Yu is asking for money at this time is definitely not what it seems.
“Sigh, I’m not such an unreasonable person. You’ve known me for the past few years. When you had a family emergency and needed money, I gave you the money without hesitation.”
Village Chief Yu lowered his eyes, his tone softening, making it clear that he was sad.
Lu Sen nodded, "Village Chief Yu, thank you for these past few years. Without your help, my family wouldn't be where we are today."
Seeing Lu Sen so humble made An Wan feel very uncomfortable.
Originally, I planned to pay off the 10,000 yuan debt after Lu Jingxing finished his college entrance examination.
As a result, another house collapsed yesterday.
Whether you're renting a house or building a new one, it requires a large sum of money.
"Sigh, Lu Sen, I don't need you to thank me. I can still help with this little thing. I know your family is struggling, but I'm really not forcing you."
Village Chief Yu sighed repeatedly.
Lu Sen nodded hurriedly, but didn't say anything.
After waiting for a while, Village Chief Yu grew impatient. "Lu Sen, your family is in such dire straits, and you haven't been able to pay me back these past few days. How about this? You introduce me to Young Master He and Old Master He, and I won't ask you to repay this debt."
“This…” Lu Sen feigned surprise and embarrassment.
After waiting for so long, he finally heard Village Chief Yu reveal his purpose.
So they came here after all, after all, to see the He family.
An Wan rolled her eyes at Village Chief Yu. He was like a leech, sticking to her even though he knew that Grandpa He and He Sichen ignored him.
The Lu Jingxing brothers, sitting not far away, all rolled their eyes and showed expressions of disdain.
Village Chief Yu was lost in his own fantasy, thinking that Lu Sen would agree, and then he and his daughter would get to know He Sichen. A few years later, his daughter would marry into the He family and live a life of wealth and luxury.
"Lu Sen, my request isn't unreasonable! It's just that I need to be introduced to Old Master He. It's not that difficult. Your family has such a good relationship with Old Master He, only you can help me."
His idea was that Lu Sen was helpful and would definitely help him.
I was rejected when I approached Lu Jingxing last time.
But he knew Lu Sen; if Lu Sen saw that he was pitiful, he would definitely help him.
He and his daughter often strolled around the vicinity of Grandpa He, but when they ran into Grandpa He a few times and went up to greet him, they were always stopped by Grandpa He's nanny.
Ignoring the shouts of the father and daughter, Grandpa He pretended not to see them and turned to leave.
"Village Chief Yu, I'm sorry, I can't help you. Old Master He is eccentric and doesn't like to deal with strangers. If I help you, I'm afraid I won't be able to have any more contact with him."
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Sen still refused to help.
