Chen Yunyun went door to door, only repaying a small amount to each family, saying that she would repay the rest when her husband returned, and that she would definitely be able to repay it before the New Year. She also gave them a lot of fruit candies before she finally finished.
She had just come out of the last house when a short, short woman with short hair ran up to her and tried to take her hand affectionately.
Chen Yunyun turned to the side, subtly avoiding the situation. This was Chen Fengjiao, the original owner's good friend in this village.
She peeled open a piece of fruit candy and handed it to Sanwa on her back. Sanwa reached out his little hand, took the candy, and started licking it.
Chen Fengjiao was surprised that Chen Yunyun ignored her, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Without thinking, she complained, "Why did you bring this burden along? Isn't it tiring to carry her? Just leave her at home and go out to play. She won't die."
"I'm talking to you. Did Zhijun send you a letter? Why haven't we contacted you for so long? What happened?"
Chen Yunyun didn't reply. According to the original owner's memories, Chen Fengjiao was not a good person.
She encouraged the original owner to abuse the child, brainwashing her into believing that women with money should eat and drink well, and if they didn't have money, they should borrow from others, and that Zhijun would definitely not blame her...
The original owner was truly wronged. Her husband rarely came home, not even once a year. At such a young age, she should have found a man in her hometown and married him, instead of coming to this small mountain village to live a life of widowhood.
She also has three children to support, none of whom are her own, and they certainly won't be filial to her in the future...
Under the guise of speaking out for the original owner, they are actually leading the original owner astray.
The original owner believed it to be true and felt increasingly cheated. She began to complain about her husband and the villagers, which gradually turned into dissatisfaction with her child, and she started to abuse the child.
After figuring out the whole story, Chen Yunyun gave Chen Fengjiao, who was trying to curry favor with her, a cold shoulder.
She didn't want to play games with Chen Fengjiao, so she interrupted Chen Fengjiao's question, "Fengjiao, could you lend me some money?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fengjiao, who had been talking non-stop, immediately fell silent. After pausing for two or three seconds, she replied, "Don't you know? I don't have any money, otherwise I would have lent it to you long ago. My mother-in-law is the head of the household, and I don't have any money on hand."
As Chen Fengjiao spoke, she became more confident, and then changed the subject, asking Chen Yunyun, "Didn't Zhijun send you money? Why do you need to borrow money again?"
Chen Fengjiao's reaction was observed by Chen Yunyun, who sneered inwardly but put on a worried expression. "We paid off that little bit of money from one family to another a long time ago. Winter is coming soon, and look at my family, we don't even have a thick coat. What are we going to do if I freeze to death?"
"Oh no, Zhijun is your husband, he'll definitely love you and won't let you get cold. Don't worry."
Chen Yunyun continued, "My family has no food and we're starving. How about I come to your house for lunch? Can you lend me some money and some food? I'll pay you back when Zhijun comes back."
Chen Fengjiao's expression was not good at this moment. In her interactions with Chen Yunyun, she had always been the one who took advantage. Now, Chen Yunyun was trying to get something out of her. It was impossible!
She quickly tried to play the victim: "Yunyun, you know my family situation. My mother-in-law is so fierce, and my husband is sick and has a bad temper. He also beats me all the time. How can I dare to lend you money? Why don't you borrow from someone else?"
Chen Yunyun deliberately put on a cold face, "Chen Fengjiao, how can you be like this? When I had money before, I bought you all kinds of cloth and food, and what did you give me in return? Now, I just want to borrow some food and money from you, and you make excuses. Aren't we friends?"
Chen Fengjiao's in-laws are very concerned about their reputation, and Chen Yunyun has a loud voice. If this attracts the attention of the villagers, Chen Fengjiao will definitely be in big trouble. She grabbed Chen Yunyun's hand, signaling her to keep her voice down.
Chen Yunyun ignored her and perfectly mimicked the original owner's tantrum, saying, "Chen Fengjiao, it's just a loan of money. It's not like I'm not going to pay you back."
"Everyone in the village lends me money, but you, my best friend, won't. And when I ask to have a meal at your house, you make excuses. Don't you like me?"
"If you really don't like me, why did you accept the fabric and money I gave you? And the sewing machine's industrial invoice too. If you don't want to be friends with me anymore, give these things back to me!"
How could Chen Fengjiao let Chen Yunyun continue? Didn't she see that someone was already peeking out from over the wall to watch the show?
Chen Fengjiao quickly pulled Chen Yunyun into a corner. Her face was bitter. Today, this damned woman was like she had taken a gunpowder, being aggressive and demanding. Usually, she could be coaxed with a few words, but today she wouldn't let it go.
"Yunyun, how could you think of me like that? You married into this village, and I've always been there for you. How could you misunderstand me like this?"
Chen Fengjiao tried to play the emotional card, but Chen Yunyun didn't fall for it at all. She was already tired of this little trick. She interrupted Chen Fengjiao, "Just tell me if you're going to lend it or not. It's not like I'm not going to pay it back. Zhijun will be back in a month, and I'll have him pay you back then."
Chen Fengjiao used to claim to be the original owner's good friend when she wanted to get benefits from the original owner, but she would run away as soon as her own interests were involved.
Chen Yunyun wouldn't let her have her way, so she made her vomit up everything she had eaten and used!
Seeing Chen Yunyun's strong stance, Chen Fengjiao had no choice but to agree, and she reluctantly took out five yuan from home.
"Is that all?" Chen Yunyun held the crumpled coins with some disdain. "If you want to borrow more, then borrow more. It'll be gone after making a set of clothes."
Hearing Chen Yunyun's words, Chen Fengjiao rolled her eyes inwardly. "It's not easy for me to secretly save some money. I've been keeping it a secret from my mother-in-law and husband. I really have no money left."
"Then give me back the Dacron fabric I gave you, and I'll make myself a dress."
