After pressing the button, she threw his hand away, as if his hand was dirty, and handed the paper to Lei Zhong, who then gave the IOU in his hand to Wang Ping.
Wang Ping smiled happily when she received the IOU, as if she was holding a treasure in her hand, and it really was.
Wang Ping said hypocritically, "You can pay it back slowly. Just give me a few dozen a month. I don't want to see you working so hard! I don't want you to be tired!"
She spoke better than she sang. She didn't just want Tian Xiaolan to die of exhaustion, she clearly wanted her to die immediately. Those of them who farmed could only earn a few centimeters a month. Isn't this forcing her to hand over the bonus she received?
Tian Xiaolan smiled, knowing her little calculation, "Auntie, don't worry, I will not take away a cent of what is due to you. I hope you won't regret it when the time comes!"
Wang Ping felt like she was dreaming. What was regret? She had lived her entire life and still didn't know how to write these words. "I regret nothing! I raised you for nothing. You don't know how to treat your elders well, but only know how to be kind to outsiders. What an ungrateful person!"
I've heard her say this many times, as if she was using repetition to etch it into everyone's mind. "Everyone can see how you treat me. Now that our family is divided, you live your life and I live mine. Don't come to my house and cause trouble for no reason. I won't show any mercy!"
As long as she gets the money, of course she won't go to Tian Xiaolan for nothing. Otherwise, she will be kicked out all the time and she has to save face. "Give me twenty every month, otherwise I won't share!"
Wang Ping suddenly remembered that she was still a woman and had received a dowry when she got married. If she divided the family property now, she would be at a loss. She still had to leave a way out. She didn't believe she could pay it back now. If she didn't have the money, she would find someone who could pay more and marry him, so as to avoid being in the way all day long.
Lei Zhong frowned as he listened to her erratic words. It was Wang Ping who had been clamoring for a split, and it was she who finally said no. She thought splitting up was child's play! In fact, a split would have been better for Tian Xiaolan. Now that she was well and could support herself, Wang Ping was eyeing her salary. Anyone could see it.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Tian Xiaolan's heart sank for a moment, but she still agreed. Her bonus could only last for a few months, and the mushrooms were not yet ripe, so she had to find other ways to make money. She had not eaten yet, and she would have to harvest the grain later. They were working even though the machines were not running, and other villages were still waiting for them.
At this time, a steady male voice interrupted, "I'll help her pay it back!"
Xing Yifei walked over with big strides, and every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart. His posture was upright and agile, and his hands hung casually at both sides, but seemed to hide endless power.
His eyes swept across the entire audience, and wherever he looked, people involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye. He did not speak, but the people around him were unconsciously shocked by his aura and cast awe-inspiring glances at him.
Wang Ping squinted her eyes at Xing Yifei, a scornful smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. She deliberately raised her voice and said, "Xing Yifei, what's your business? Just because you have so much money, you come out and act like a hero!"
Today, her daughter went to him and got humiliated, and now he came up to help Tian Xiaolan again. Her daughter is prettier than that little bitch! He must be blind! Otherwise, why would he help Tian Xiaolan pay back the money for no reason? She couldn't think of any other reason.
Xing Yifei's face was calm, but there was a barely perceptible coldness in his eyes. He did not refute immediately, but walked slowly towards Tian Xiaolan and said to her: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Tian Xiaolan was slightly stunned, and after a moment she understood what he meant. She was a little dazed. She and Xing Yifei weren't close enough to lend him money, were they? But since he trusted her as a friend, she would definitely pay him back when she made money.
"If you have money, just take it out! I don't think you can take it out! Just get out of here!" Wang Ping stretched out her hand and couldn't help but start to mock. In her opinion, he came out now just to get Tian Xiaolan's attention, so he shouldn't get in the way here.
He slowly took out a wad of banknotes from his trouser pocket and counted out seven hundred in front of everyone. Then, he put the money in her hand. The slight sound was particularly clear in the sudden silence outside.
Wang Ping, who had just been saying that he couldn't produce it, suddenly froze the smile on her face. Her eyes widened, as if she had seen something incredible. Her face turned red and white, and her expression was as ugly as if she had swallowed a fly.
The people around were also looking at the male protagonist in astonishment. The voices just now had long disappeared, replaced by dead silence and the awkward coughs of a few people.
"What? You earned so much money?" Wang Ping's voice unconsciously rose several octaves. The sharp voice cut through the air, mixed with full surprise and strong disbelief. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth with difficulty.
After saying this, she took a deep breath, her eyes still not moving away from the other person, as if she wanted to see through the other person with her eyes and find out the truth behind this shocking news. She didn't believe that a second-rate guy like him could get this, he must have stolen it!
Xing Yifei: "Don't worry about where the money came from, just bring me the IOU."
She had to take the IOU out before it even got warm in her hand. She really didn't want to. Suddenly, she remembered that she had just said that it was given by Wang Ping, so the one given by Xing Yifei didn't count. However, since he had already given it to her, she would not refuse it. She could just regard it as his filial piety.
The people who were eating stopped eating and watched intently as Wang Ping put away the seven hundred yuan. This was more money than his family could earn in years, and he had earned it outside. Xing Yifei was always going outside the village. Are there really so many opportunities out there? Seeing this made their minds active.
Wang Ping counted the money again with a clear conscience, and when she found that it was correct, she put it away and refused to acknowledge it: "I said it was given by Tian Xiaolan, so what does it mean if you gave it on her behalf?"
"Since you don't count, return the money." Xing Yifei was not angry.
Wang Ping wasn't stupid, so she wouldn't let go of the fat meat she had gotten. "Once you gave it to me, it's mine. If you want it back, you can't!"
Suddenly, Chen Shaohui took a step forward, stretched out his hands like eagle claws, grabbed Wang Ping's outer pocket where she kept her money, and pulled it up with force, while his other hand quickly reached into the inner pocket of her clothes.
His fingers groped in his pocket nimbly, and after grabbing the money, he began to pull it out savagely, completely ignoring whether it would tear his clothes. He quickly snatched away several crumpled banknotes.
A moment later, Wang Ping's panicked cry was heard: "Help! Someone is stealing money! Come and catch the robbers!"
