Sunday.
After learning that Han Guibing was on vacation today, Qi Sisi dragged Zhao Xingyu to his house to collect the debt.
I asked someone to pass the message on.
After waiting in the dormitory building for a while, I finally got the person to come.
"What do you want from me?"
Han Guibing looked at the two of them with a very complicated look, and his gaze stayed on Qi Sisi for a few more seconds.
She should have been his wife, standing by his side, not with another man, holding his arm...
This behavior made him feel agitated and he wanted to step forward and separate the two people.
"Sisi, go ahead and tell me."
Zhao Xingyu gave the right to speak to Qi Sisi. After all, it was his wife who took the initiative to do this, and he wanted to take the opportunity to check what Sisi's attitude towards Han Guibing was.
"You ask me?"
Qi Sisi was a little amused, "Didn't Miao Cuicui and Aunt Han tell you?"
It's already two months old, and Han Guibing is still in the dark?
Are you trying to cheat me?
"What? What happened?"
Han Guibing was confused and felt a little dissatisfied with Miao Cuicui. Qi Sisi even brought Zhao Xingyu to him, but she actually kept it a secret from him!
Qi Sisi glanced at him mockingly and said leisurely, "We met in the army's logistics vehicle two days ago. Your mother was very arrogant. She couldn't bear to see my injured man sitting in the front seat. She didn't stop until we went to the carriage to sit."
In fact, Han Ayi was criticized by everyone and stopped halfway through, but it didn't matter if Qi Sisi was blamed on her.
She was the only one who knew that Zhao Xingyu's leg was healed, no one else knew it. If something really happened, the old woman would probably be so happy that she would go crazy!
Han Guibing took a deep breath and cursed his mother in his heart.
What's going on? He's still in the army. His mother is so arrogant. Even if she doesn't like Zhao Xingyu, she can't show it too obviously. If someone leaks it, it will affect him...
"I want to say sorry on behalf of my mother. My mother is just a rural woman with little knowledge and narrow vision. You should not bother with her."
Since people have come to his door, he can only express his attitude and suppress the matter, otherwise, if it gets out of hand, it won’t be a good thing...
Seeing him feeling frustrated, Qi Sisi felt very happy and said in a serious tone, "Your mother is not sensible, but Platoon Leader Han is quite sensible."
Zhao Xingyu said coldly, "Since you know that your aunt has a narrow vision and no experience, you should teach her more when you get home. After all, there are so many people in the army, and it is easy for us to talk to her, but it may not be the case for others."
"Captain Zhao is right."
Han Guibing gritted his teeth and his hatred grew even stronger.
His mother is really something, she is incapable of doing anything good but always makes trouble, and every one of them is holding him back.
If he could be raised by Qi, he could be as bright and beautiful as Zhao Xingyu. Why would he bother to scheme so hard and end up with nothing?
"Anything else?"
I thought that after the apology, the two would leave, but who knew that Qi Sisi's footsteps were still firmly rooted there.
Qi Sisi smiled maliciously and said, "The other thing is the issue of the betrothal gift."
"It was my aunt who reminded me. If she hadn't said she wanted to go to Qi's house to get her bicycle and sewing machine back, I wouldn't have remembered it."
"Platoon Leader Han, those betrothal gifts were bought with the one dollar my father gave me. The bicycle and the sewing machine, plus other miscellaneous items, cost less than one dollar. The remaining money should be returned to the original owner, right?"
Han Guibing was silent, his face flushed red.
Qi family!
That money did solve his immediate problem, but now, it has become a death warrant.
When he was pursuing Qi Sisi, he bought her a lot of gifts and received many valuable gifts from her. In the end, he still made a profit.
Within a month, his savings were almost gone. The salary and allowance he received after three years of military service was naturally not as rich as the Qi family's wealth. That was why he accepted the money Qi gave him to buy the betrothal gift.
Of that one yuan, there was more than four dollars left.
The room expenses of the guesthouse and the banquet for him and Miao Cuicui were all paid with that money. He only had thirty yuan left, and he had originally thought that after receiving his salary allowance this month, he could buy some clothes for his mother and Cuicui to ease the atmosphere between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but now... all his plans were wasted.
These few dollars are a drop in the bucket for the Qi family, but they are his annual salary allowance, not to mention that he has to support his family. He doesn't know when he can pay it back...
The only thing we can do now is to delay!
"Sisi, I..."
Zhao Xingyu interrupted: "Platoon Leader Han, be careful with your words!"
"Sisi is my lover now. It is inappropriate for you to call her that."
Han Guibing's breath was choked. "Qi, Comrade Qi, it's not convenient for me now. Can you return it when it's convenient next time?"
"When is the next time?"
Qi Sisi looked at him leisurely.
Han Guibing was so terrified that he had nothing to say.
He originally thought that the Qi family was not short of money, and if he delayed a few times, the other party would learn their lesson and let him go.
"Sisi, let's calculate the specific amount first," Zhao Xingyu reminded.
"Yes!"
Qi Sisi reached out and took out a handful of receipts, saying, "Here are the receipts for the big items: a Yan brand sewing machine for 127 yuan, a Yong brand bicycle for 178 yuan, and a United single-cassette recorder for 240 yuan, totaling 545 yuan. The rest are some miscellaneous items. I remember that you have the habit of keeping accounts, so you must know them better than me, right?"
As the numbers were read out one by one, Han Guibing's face became paler and paler.
If it weren't for his connection with Qi Sisi, he wouldn't have the confidence to even go to the supply and marketing cooperative to look at these items. But after getting engaged to Qi Sisi, he could buy them with a wave of his hand. He still remembers the admiring looks those clerks gave him.
How glorious it was then, how desolate it is now.
Han Guibing felt deeply regretful. Why did he give up Qi Sisi and be dazzled by Miao Cuicui?
Seeing that Han Guibing didn't say anything, Qi Sisi didn't care. He couldn't get rid of these debts unless Han Guibing didn't want to stay in the army anymore.
Noticing his eyes, Zhao Xingyu sneered in his heart, pretending to be unsteady, and leaned on Qi Sisi, sticking closely to her.
"Are you okay?"
Qi Sisi was puzzled. His leg was healed, so why was he still unable to stand steadily?
"It's not bad."
Zhao Xingyu felt sweet in his heart that his wife cared about him, and this happened in front of Han Guibing, his defeated general. He was secretly delighted.
"If it's convenient, why don't you bring the account book here now, Platoon Leader Han, so we can check it together?"
"How about next time?" Qi Sisi was worried about his health.
Zhao Xingyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Sisi, we can get it done in one go, so you don't have to make another trip."
Qi Sisi thought about it and agreed, and didn't argue anymore.
After all, she and Han Guibing had been talking about marriage and were almost married. It would not be appropriate to meet alone. If they were to meet in two times, she would have to trouble Xingyu again next time.
