She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 8: Get her out of the Gu family.
"This is what you should have done anyway; Wei Yu didn't do it for free."

Gu Yuncheng secretly felt that although he had given the five hundred yuan to Ji Shuyin, it would eventually be his own money.

But this twenty yuan is different; if she actually buys a silk scarf, then she'll have nothing left.

"Hmph, I'm selling it so cheaply, and you still have the nerve to haggle? If you don't want it, then forget it."

She continued to ladle out a bowl of soup, and casually placed the last large chicken leg into her own bowl.

The other one, Tang Weiyu just gave to Gu Yuncheng, and I only got a wing and some scraps of meat.

Gu Yun sighed and tried to calm himself down.

Then, he put on a lecturing expression.

"Shuyin, don't you already have a lot of silk scarves? Why do you need to buy more?"

Now that your parents are no longer here, no one will continue to support you. From now on, you will have to rely on my salary to support you, and you will have to learn to be thrifty and manage your household well.

I think this scarf is completely unnecessary.

Haha, to put it bluntly, they just can't bear to spend the money!

"I've discovered that you're a real hypocrite. When you use my dowry to buy things, you pick out the best of everything without even blinking an eye."

"Now I'm buying a 20-yuan scarf, without even using your money, and you're acting like your own mother has died. You're incredibly stingy."

Ji Shuyin's disdainful gaze made him both angry and indignant.

"You...you're talking nonsense! I was clearly teaching you, I..."

"Fine, I don't care about yours or mine anymore, you're so annoying, you jerk!"

Upon receiving such a title, Gu Yuncheng was stunned and pointed to himself in disbelief.

"You actually called me a scumbag?"

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Tang Weiyu quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing."

Shuyin went to great lengths for me, so I should definitely show my appreciation.

For the past two months, I've been working as a temporary worker at a flour mill, and I still have some money left over.

"Shuyin, I'll get it for you right now."

It's truly nauseating to see someone so unwilling and reluctant putting on a brave face.

Gu Yuncheng was also angry, but he did not stop it.

Tang Weiyu realized that she couldn't pretend anymore, so she had no choice but to resign herself to taking the things out of her pocket.

The floral handkerchief was opened, and inside, neatly arranged, was quite a bit of money.

Following the principle that "every little bit counts," Ji Shuyin grabbed them all.

Tang Weiyu didn't notice her movements; the money in her hand vanished instantly, and she became somewhat anxious.

"Shuyin, that's all my savings. You can't take it all."

"Alright, it's not much money in total, what's the rush?"
Looking back, you always said you didn't have enough money for living expenses.

Throughout high school, he borrowed money from me on and off quite a few times, but I never asked him for it even once.

You know things are different now. My family can no longer protect me, and it's time for you to pay your debts.

"What?! How can you lump these together like that!"

If that's the case, then she'll have no money left.

She works so hard as a temporary worker at the flour mill, earning only fifteen yuan a month, some of which she has to send home. How could she take all of it, the money she has painstakingly saved?
"Paying back debts is a matter of course. Is there anything you can't understand?"
That's it, except for the 20 yuan delivery fee.

That's more than ten yuan. The money I lent you is probably a hundred or two.

You know my current situation, so let's not go into details. Just give me 150.

I'll just consider it a loss and send it all over the place the day after tomorrow!

Before the other person could even speak, she had already made her decision.

"No, this can't be done, I really have no money left."

"I borrowed the money from my parents to buy the job, Shuyin, that's all I could get."

Tang Weiyu was genuinely anxious, and she looked like she was about to cry. Gu Yuncheng saw this and felt sorry for her, so he quickly came over to comfort her.

“Wei Yu is right. Our Gu family has never lacked your food and drink. Why do you have to bring up those old grievances?”
I've made the decision today; we'll forget about the money.

With a wave of his hand, Tang Weiyu looked at him like a peerless hero, her eyes sparkling.

"What the heck? You think you're seafood just because a loach got a little wet?"

"What right do you have to decide what's best to do with my money?"

Knowing that she was unwilling, Gu Yuncheng naturally wouldn't indulge her.

"Hmph, I am your fiancé."

From now on, he'll be the pillar of the family, and naturally, his word will be law.

Tch, being a chauvinist is one thing, but daring to be so confident is another.

I haven't settled accounts with you yet!
The bicycle you ride, the watch you wear, the other pens, and even the clothes and shoes you're wearing—wasn't all of these bought with my dowry money?
Don't you understand the principle of "he who takes a bribe is beholden to him"? You actually think you can boss me around? Are you trying to turn the world upside down?

These words are just like an elder lecturing a younger person.

However, it is an indisputable fact.

And in front of Tang Weiyu, Gu Yuncheng naturally felt ashamed and indignant.

"Hmph, you insisted on giving this to me, and I didn't force you."

Now you're bringing these things up? Fine, I'll just give them back to you.

Gu Yuncheng was angry, really, really angry.

Tang Weiyu was also scared and didn't dare to breathe.

At that time, she had just arrived at the Gu family and was worried about being kicked out, so she deliberately tried to please every member of their family.

These were things that I insisted on buying for the other party at the time.

Although Gu Yuncheng didn't show it on his face, he was very happy and took it out to show off that very day.

"Alright, a man's word is his bond. Here you go."

She hadn't intended to let this scumbag get away with it, so since he brought it up himself, she figured she might as well go along with it.

He snatched the pen from the pocket and then tried to grab his watch. Gu Yuncheng quickly took two steps back, protecting his wrist like a protective father.

"What are you doing? Are you robbing me?"

"You didn't want it yourself, so what are you doing now?"
If you don't want to pay it back, don't pretend to be tough, tch~

Gu Yuncheng was ridiculed. He suffered repeated setbacks at Ji Shuyin's hands today, and he became somewhat paranoid.

Now, it's all about saving face instead of steaming buns.

"Hmph, fine, I don't care if you give it to me!"

After saying that, he angrily took off his watch.

Ji Shuyin glanced at the other person from head to toe, then raised her chin.

"Change your clothes and shoes too!"

And bring all the outfits I bought for you before!

"Ji Shuyin, do you have to be so ruthless?"

Seeing his gritted teeth, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

"What, you can't bear to leave?"

"Hmph, you just wait~"

After saying that, he went straight back to his room, and when he came out again, he had changed into a set of old clothes.

He hugged her tightly and then tossed her to Ji Shuyin.

“I gave you the things, and now I’m very angry.”

"Ji Shuyin, get out of the Gu family!"
