He Guoqiang was certain that Lu Sen's family was penniless, their house had collapsed, they were homeless, and they were now staying at someone else's house. Where would they get more than three thousand yuan?
An Wan despises the despicable He Guoqiang; now he has finally revealed his true colors.
They must have deliberately lent money to Lu Sen in the first place, with the aim of getting Lu Jingxing to become the He family's son-in-law.
She heard from Lu Jiayan that they had only known each other before, but had no contact.
It was three or four years ago, after the Lu family had their accident, that the two of them slowly grew closer.
Whenever the Lu family ran into trouble and needed money, He Guoqiang would bring money to help.
An Wan was able to think of this, and Lu Sen and Lu Jingxing also saw through He Guoqiang's true colors.
She had deliberately approached the Lu family before, specifically because of Lu Jingxing.
"Dad, don't be like this. Where would they get so much money? Let's go back! It's all my fault. I'm so sorry." He Lijuan wiped away her tears and walked to He Guoqiang's side, tugging at his clothes.
"What's it to you? They're the ones who don't know what's good for them! They don't want such a good daughter and such good in-laws! Ungrateful wretches! The whole family is the same!" Mother He cursed as she pulled He Lijuan away.
Hearing Mother He say that his family were ungrateful, Lu Chun and his brothers were furious and almost went berserk.
An Wan pulled Lu Chunhe and Lu Zhili back, as these two were the most impulsive.
Mother He wasn't wrong. From her perspective, the Lu family's refusal to marry her today did indeed seem a bit ungrateful.
Some people are ungrateful.
He Guoqiang owns two large furniture stores in the county town. He is not only a prominent figure in Lujia Village, but also a big shot in Shuanglong County.
There are plenty of men who want to marry his daughter.
The first two daughters married local men from the county town. They own several houses and cars, and are all well-off.
Compared to the Lu family, they are worlds apart.
Given the He family's current wealth and influence, it would be easy for He Lijuan to find a husband as wealthy as her two brothers-in-law.
There was absolutely no need to look for the impoverished Lu Jingxing.
Besides having a handsome face, a tall and slender figure, he is also an excellent student, has a good temper, is mature and sensible, and is responsible.
It doesn't matter if you don't have money when you're in a relationship; love makes even water taste sweet.
But how can you buy a house and live a stable life if you don't have money to start a family and build a career?
Are we supposed to move several times a year and live the miserable life of renting?
Your landlord will kick you out if you give birth, because they think it's unlucky for you to have blood.
Or, when your parents are in their sixties or seventies, you want to bring them to live with you in their old age, but the landlord doesn't allow such elderly people to rent the property, fearing liability if something happens.
What I fear even more is that an elderly person dies in a rented room. It's not so bad if it's considered unlucky, but if it becomes a haunted house and damages the reputation of the rental property, no one will dare to rent from it anymore.
Without money, you can't move an inch.
"In that case, I'll pay you back the money I owe you today!" Lu Sen said slowly, his relaxed tone carrying a hint of joy.
He initially thought He Guoqiang was a good person, but it turns out he was only after his own interests.
"Jingxing, go and get the money, and the IOU."
“Okay.” Lu Jingxing turned and left, moving swiftly.
Things happened so fast that He Guoqiang hadn't even had time to react before Lu Jingxing left the living room.
An Wan secretly rejoiced: Well done! The He family must be thoroughly humiliated.
"You have money? Lu Sen, you're not kidding me, are you?" He Guoqiang sneered.
"That's over three thousand yuan! Where did you get so much money? I know Lu Xin doesn't have the money to compensate you. Now that your old house has collapsed, you have to stay with other people and are even having trouble getting food. Where would you get the money to pay me back?"
“My dad is rich, what do you care where the money comes from! Anyway, he’ll pay you back.” An Wan pouted, put her hands on her hips, and glared angrily at He Guoqiang.
She's a child, she can throw tantrums, but she couldn't hold back.
“That’s right! My dad’s rich, he’ll pay you back today.” Lu Zhili mimicked her, putting her hands on her hips and glaring fiercely at He Guoqiang.
I was so angry I almost blew smoke out of my nose.
He's mother and He Lijuan were stunned for a moment. The mother and daughter looked at each other and exchanged thoughts.
How did Lu Sen suddenly become rich? Where did he get the money?
"Hmph! I don't believe it! Lu Sen, you didn't borrow the money from Mr. He, did you? Using Peter to pay Paul will only make your family's situation worse."
He Guoqiang crossed his arms, shook one leg, and looked arrogant.
"You don't need to know where my money came from, I'll pay you back when I have the money. Our two families don't need to have any dealings anymore. It's gotten to this point, and any further contact would just be awkward."
Lu Sen picked up his teacup and slowly sipped his tea.
Seeing him like this, He Guoqiang was so angry that he ground his teeth together.
Lu Jingxing quickly brought over a stack of bright red banknotes and five IOUs.
"Uncle He, I checked these IOUs. The total is 3700. Over three years, the interest rate is 1%, so it's 399.6, which rounds up to 400. The principal plus interest is 4100."
"Check if the amount is correct. If it is, please sign your name on the IOU and remember to give me your copy when you get back."
Lu Jingxing fluently stated the amount on the IOU, then counted out the banknotes and neatly placed them on the table in front of He Guoqiang.
A ballpoint pen was placed next to the IOU.
He Guoqiang's face turned red and then black, then red again.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Sen was really rich and even generously included the interest in the calculation.
When Lu Zhili and An Wan saw He Guoqiang's embarrassed look, they almost jumped up and cheered.
Hmph! It's so nice to be rich.
Lu Jiayan sat in his wheelchair, holding their hands, afraid they would ruin things.
