Chapter 7 Paying Back the Money
Zhou Ling frowned: "Big birthday? Then I really have to go back."
"Okay, I'll talk to your uncle tonight and see if I can help you get a few more days off, but you have to practice hard these few days, otherwise if your leader doesn't agree, then I can't do anything about it."
Chen Tang had just been in the art troupe for less than two months, so it was definitely not possible for her to ask for a half-month leave for her elder's birthday at this time, unless Political Commissar Fang helped her to plead for her.
Chen Tang was delighted and a smile spread across his face: “I understand, auntie, I’ll break the beans.”
After saying that, she took the wooden barrel from beside her aunt's legs.
"You finally became more sensible after this experience."
Zhou Ling washed the rag and, considering the hot weather, boiled a pot of water.
As soon as she put the pot on the stove, her aunt came to find her and said that the two new military wives in the yard were quarreling again and asked her to go over to mediate.
Because she had to take care of Chen Tang, Zhou Ling also took a leave of absence from work today. When she heard someone quarreling in the family compound again, she wiped the water off her hands and went out.
Only Chen Tang and He Xu were left in the yard. One was teasing the little guy to hide his embarrassment, while the other was basking in the sun with his eyes closed and a cold look on his face.
Perhaps it was because the children were talking too loudly, the man's long eyelashes lifted a little and looked to the side.
The little girl's long hair was as smooth as silk, which made her small face look pretty and lively. Her white shirt tucked into her military pants made her figure look even more graceful.
He Xu couldn't help but recall the scene in his dream. The girl bit her red lips softly, her cold eyes stained with tears, and begged him coquettishly: "Brother He, don't..."
grass!
In an instant, He Xu felt his whole body getting hot and he immediately got up and went back into the house.
It’s better to stay out of it!
Shen Tang didn't notice the man's actions at all.
After playing with the little guy for a while, I saw He Qiu and Han Zhongguo walking in side by side.
"Tangtang, are you feeling better?"
Chen Tang had no good feelings towards the two of them: "Stop saying polite words and return the money quickly."
He Qiu's face obviously froze: "Tangtang, we have been together for so many years, are you really going to break up with me?"
Seeing her eyes turn red whenever she said so, Chen Tang sighed inwardly that her acting skills are far superior to those of the young actors in the modern entertainment industry.
"After so many years of relationship, you still want to backstab me. What, you don't want to pay me back?"
Speaking of paying back the money, a hint of resentment flashed in He Qiu's aggrieved eyes.
She pulled Han Zhongguo's sleeve and said, "Brother Han, please go out first. I have something private to say to Tangtang."
Han Zhongguo wanted to warn Chen Tang not to bully He Qiu, but when he met her cold and arrogant brown eyes, for some reason the words that were on his lips suddenly disappeared.
Only Shen Tang and He Qiu were left in the yard, along with a little kid playing in the mud nearby.
There was no one else around, so He Qiu stopped pretending. His weak and pitiful expression just now turned into contemptuous and arrogant, and even his tone was mocking: "Chen Tang, are you very sad?"
Chen Tang frowned: "What are you sad about?"
He Qiu sneered: "Don't pretend, I stole the person you like, you must hate me now, but I can't do anything about it, who made Brother Han like me."
She looked closely into Shen Tang's eyes and realized there was no other emotion in her eyes except disgust, which made her feel confused.
Could it be that Shen Tang was not reborn?
Thinking that Chen Tang also fell in love at first sight with Han Zhongguo in his previous life, He Qiu realized and thought he had found the reason why Chen Tang was so obsessed with Han Zhongguo.
She felt slightly relieved, not because she was afraid that Shen Tang would have the same adventure as her, but because the downfall of the Shen family was getting closer and closer, and she didn't want any changes to happen.
On the day she arrived at the army, she bribed someone and revealed to Han Zhongguo intentionally or unintentionally that one of the girls who came to visit relatives in the army was the daughter of the division commander of the Capital Military Region.
During the blind date, He Qiu did not use this identity directly. Instead, he revealed to Han Zhongguo that he came from a military family, implicitly misleading him.
Of course, she didn't think she was lying.
Her grandfather used to be a soldier under Mr. Shen, but he had retired long ago.
In this way, even if Han Zhongguo found something wrong, it would not be her business.
Besides, as long as the Shen family falls next month, Han Zhongguo will be glad that he chose her.
Thinking of the fate that Shen Tang was about to face, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth in satisfaction.
Chen Tang licked his back teeth. What kind of nonsense is this guy making?
Whoever wants that old man will be in trouble.
The original body, Chen Tang, worked herself to death in her previous life, and even spent all the money her parents gave her. On the contrary, Han Zhongguo sent all his own allowance back to his hometown or gave it to the widows of his comrades.
This is also the reason why Han Zhongguo had such a good reputation and extensive network of contacts in his previous life.
That was all bought with money!
"Hate you? I only hate myself for being blind. I didn't know you were such a person. He Qiu, don't play tricks on me. I owe you money, pay it back. Four hundred yuan, no bargaining!"
He Qiu said sharply, "Four hundred yuan, why don't you go and rob it?"
Chen Tang stretched out his slender fingers and began to calculate the accounts on the spot.
"Your family was not rich to begin with, and your parents only loved your two brothers and never gave you money. The Dacron you wore, the flowery string you wore in your hair, the vanishing cream you put on, and the three to five yuan pocket money you had every month since junior high school, which one of them was not borrowed from me?
The money you borrowed from me for your train ticket to the army, the White Rabbit candies, malted milk, clothes and shoes you bought for Captain Han's three children, and the total is definitely no less than four hundred."
He Qiu then remembered that in her previous life, just after she finished junior high school, her parents, who favored boys over girls, did not intend to let her continue her studies.
It was Chen Tang who lent her money every month and helped pay her tuition so that she could finish high school.
When her parents knew that she had hooked up with someone from the compound, they started to treat her better.
Unlike her sister, who was marginalized at a young age, not only did she have to do laundry, cooking, and cleaning, but she also had her age changed and registered to go to the countryside before she could even finish junior high school.
But she couldn't come up with four hundred yuan.
He Qiu panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. Chen Tang didn't have the loan agreement!
Chen Tanghuan crossed his arms, rolled his eyes, and started to talk back: "Heh, as soon as you stick your butt out I know what you are thinking, don't think about defaulting on your debt, the money you used to go to junior high and high school was all lent to you by me, my parents know it, your parents know it too, you have to pay it back even if you don't want to!
If you don’t return it, I will make trouble. I want to see how you can live in the family compound in the future!”
