Haha, a scumbag is a scumbag!

Su Yunyun narrowed her eyes. Does Li Wenxuan think he is an ATM machine or Doraemon from the future? If he wants something, he can just tell her and she will give him whatever he wants. Damn it, it's so unlucky to be associated with such a person!

To get rid of bad luck, you have to use the right medicine!

"Li Wenxuan, you told me that I gave you eggs, food, and cloth coupons, but why didn't you tell me about the money, brown sugar, peach cakes, etc?" Su Yunyun was so upset when she thought of the stupid things she had done before. She must have been crazy before, otherwise how could she have done such a "feat" of giving money, coupons, and food to this scumbag in front of her in this era of scarce resources? Didn't she see Han Sen's suspicious look? And wouldn't it be nice to keep the money, coupons, and food she gave away for herself and her family?

"Oh, it's my fault, I forgot. Now when I think about it, I feel that the brown sugar was so sweet and the peach cake was so fragrant!" Li Wenxuan answered hurriedly, thinking that Su Yunyun mentioned these because she wanted to give them to him. He was so greedy that he swallowed his saliva.

"I borrowed before, not gave!" Su Yunyun looked at Li Wenxuan in front of her and said, "If you borrow, you must pay back. If you have eaten all the food and eggs, just convert them into money. Let me calculate. Last month I lent you 15 yuan and 3 feet of cloth coupons... The month before last, I lent you 10 yuan and half a catty of brown sugar..." The more Su Yunyun calculated, the more shocked she became. Was she raising a son? Li Wenxuan was too capable to let her give away so much.

No, Wang Danju also used her money, tickets, and food, and she even raised a daughter!

"Yunyun, what's wrong with you? How can you say it's a loan? It was clearly given to me by you!" Li Wenxuan was panicked, especially when he saw Han Sen standing silently beside Su Yunyun, looking at him with contempt, as if to say: Are you a man? You need a woman to support you!

"Why would I give it to you? I'm a country woman and I know how valuable things are. I just feel sorry for you. You're so weak that you can't even earn 5 work points a day and you're hungry every day. My parents and brother taught me to be helpful, so they let me lend you the money and food. You're not going to default on the debt, are you?" Su Yunyun looked at him in surprise.

"I just calculated that you owe me 200 yuan in total!"

"What 200 yuan? It was you who gave it to me. How can you ask me for money?" Li Wenxuan was heartbroken, thinking about how Su Yunyun had changed. "Why are you so mercenary now? You are not upright at all. Comrades have to take mutual care so seriously. You have changed. You are no longer my simple and kind Yunyun..."

"Stop it now, I have never been your Yunyun," Su Yunyun felt sick listening to his pretending to be angry and sad. "Everyone in the village knows that you often take money and food from me. They can all testify to this! I also know that you don't eat and use it alone. You are also very helpful. There are so many people in the Youth Educator's Home, and you helped Wang Danju and let her eat and use it together!"

Seeing Li Wenxuan's pale face, blue lips, trembling hands, and the look as if he was about to faint, Su Yunyun felt relieved. In her previous life, when he sold her, this bastard looked so calm and nonchalant!

"Things from rural people are precious, and I am also a stickler for justice. You must pay me back if you owe me something." Didn't Li Wenxuan say that she was a rural person who was vulgar and unreasonable? Then she should pay back the money.

"Brother Han is watching you, you can't refuse to pay it back."

Su Yunyun looked at Han Sen and smiled ingratiatingly, pulling him into the water and making him feel that she didn't like Li Wenxuan at all. This way he should be able to believe what she said before!

Han Sen saw Su Yunyun's smile, but he didn't show it on his face. In his heart, he felt amused for this quirky girl. He had even become her helper in order to collect the debt. After all, she would be his partner in the future, so it would be right to help her.

"Li Zhiqing, you should pay back your debts. I believe that books have taught you this, right?"

Li Wenxuan's heartbeat quickened when he saw Han Sen offering to help her. He was at a loss, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He had already eaten a lot of the food Su Yunyun had given him, and even gave some to Wang Danju. How could he have 200 yuan? If his family knew he owed someone 200 yuan, they would probably kick him out!

Isn’t Su Yunyun trying to kill him?

"I admit that I have to pay back my debts, but those were given to me by Yunyun. They were gifts, not loans." Li Wenxuan insisted that they were gifts, so he didn't have to pay them back. "Gifts can't be equated with loans."

Then Li Wenxuan ran away quickly, as if someone was chasing him. Suddenly, he tripped over a pit under his feet and fell. Without caring about anything, he quickly got up with mud on his face and continued to run forward.

"Li Wenxuan, you are cheating now! Fine, as long as you don't return it to me, I will go to the Youth League Institute to find you." Su Yunyun saw Li Wenxuan running away in panic like a drowned dog, and hurriedly shouted to him loudly, saying that the monk can run away but the temple cannot, there is no way he will not go back to the Youth League Institute.

She turned her head to look at Han Sen, her excited expression seemed to say: See, I really meant what I said about not liking him, I only like you now!

Han Sen's lips curved slightly, his obsidian eyes glowing softly, "I'll go with you to the Youth Institute tomorrow."

Su Yunyun's face bloomed into a big smile, warming people's hearts like the warm sun: "Okay!"

The two looked at each other and then looked into the distance, their ears turned red, and an ambiguous atmosphere floated between them.

In the distance, Han Mu, the eldest son of the Han family, saw the two standing together, was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled.

As the sun sets, everyone finishes work and drags their tired bodies home to prepare cooking. Soon, wisps of smoke begin to float over the village, and there is a smell of burning wood in the air. The children, who are happily playing without knowing how to work, also go home one after another.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Is the meal ready? I also want to eat some sugar-coated pancakes." Han Nanshan, the youngest son of the eldest son of the Han family, started shouting as soon as he arrived at the door of his house.

"You dead child, what are you yelling about at the door? Outsiders know that the sugar and flour were given to your uncle by the Su family for his health. Are you yelling like that to tell others that we ate your uncle's things?" When Liu Hua heard this, she didn't even have time to wipe the water from the pot. She rushed out of the kitchen in an apron, dragged Han Nanshan into the yard and spanked him on the butt.

"Grandma, my mother hit me!" In fact, it didn't hurt when Liu Hua hit me, but Han Nanshan started to scream at the top of his lungs.

"Who gave you the courage to hit my grandson!" Han's mother's calloused hands from years of work slapped heavily on the arm of Liu Hua who was holding Han Nanshan, causing Liu Hua to let go with a cry of "Ouch".

"Grandma, it hurts so much. I want to eat some sugar cakes," Han Nanshan continued to complain, "but mom said that no one can hear me. She said that we don't want anyone to know that I ate my uncle's food."

"Grandma, I want to eat too. I didn't have enough at noon." The other grandchildren of the Han family also shouted, one after another.

"Okay, okay, eat all, eat all," Han's mother smiled at her grandchildren, her wrinkles on her face like chrysanthemums, and turned to Liu Hua with a changed expression, "My grandson wants to eat, so let him eat. Why should he care about outsiders? And who said this belongs to the third child? If I give it to the Han family, it's mine. Remember that?"

Faced with Han's mother's harsh words, Liu Hua was scared and did not dare to continue educating her son. "Okay, Mom, I'll do it right away."

The children cheered and jumped for joy for the dinner. Everyone watching couldn't help but laugh, but the joyful atmosphere in the yard was completely incompatible with the gloomy silence in the straw hut. Han Sen sat on the edge of the bed. He knew that he would still not have a chance to have the sugar-coated pancake in the evening because he was punished by not being allowed to eat for a day.

Fortunately, he ate the eggs Su Yunyun gave him in the afternoon, so that he would not be bedridden due to weakness caused by not eating for a long time and untreated shoulder injury.

It's just that this egg, like the mung bean soup in the afternoon, relieved his fatigue and made him feel much more comfortable. He guessed that the little girl must have a secret, but he decided not to delve into it. After all, he also had secrets, and in this day and age, people may live better if they have some secrets.

As soon as he arrived home, his parents took away the package he brought back, and arranged for his two brothers to search him and take away all the money and belongings on him, just like treating an outsider. In fact, he knew that in the eyes of his parents, he was only worthy of working like a slave for this family, and he did not deserve the love and care of his family.

Fortunately, before he returned to the village, he hid some of his belongings in a secret place. The remittance he sent back every month was actually only a part of his salary. He had been abused in various ways since he was a child, so it was impossible for him to be so foolish as to send all of his salary back home. After all these years of accumulation, his savings were considerable. As long as he could completely get out of the quagmire of the Han family, he could free himself to swim freely in the vast sea and fly freely in the sky.

When he was in the army, the military doctor said that his shoulder injury was difficult to cure, and he accepted it. Going home to recuperate was just an excuse. He wanted to use his shoulder injury to leave the Han family, so that even if his shoulder was broken, the property he hid would allow him to slowly start a new chapter in his life.

Originally he was single and didn't need to worry too much about how to get away, but now Su Yunyun is here, he has to get away as soon as possible. As a man, he must not let her be bullied. The most important thing is to lead her to live a good life.

She also said that she could heal his shoulder injury, so he would have the opportunity to return to the military camp he loved, but how could she feel at ease without being bullied when he was away from home?

Han Sen thought quietly in the darkness.

After dinner at the Han family, Han's father said he had something to talk about, so the children were sent out. The others sat in the main room, picking their teeth and crossing their legs, waiting for Han's father to speak.

Father Han took a puff of the pipe in his hand, then blew out smoke rings and looked at his sons in the smoke. Well, they were all his children and they all listened to him. They were not like the wicked children outside who were eccentric and annoying.

"The third brother is back, and his shoulder can't be cured. What do you think?" Han's father asked directly.

"Dad, what can you think? If his shoulder can't be cured, his arm will be useless!" Han Mu spoke harshly, without a trace of concern and love for Han Sen.

"The food at home is rationed. If he can't go to work, he can't earn work points. Does that mean he has to rely on us to support him? I don't want to support a useless person." Han Lin had no brotherly feelings for Han Sen, and his tone was full of disdain.

"That's right, Dad. Your grandchildren are growing up and need to save money to get married. We can't let the third child delay the important matters of our children!" Liu Hua spoke from the perspective of the Han family's boy. Zhang Cao agreed with a "hmm".

Liu Hua's words touched the hearts of Han's parents. The older grandchildren are their treasures and no one can surpass them, especially when it comes to their grandchildren getting married. It costs money to marry a wife, and with four grandchildren, the cost would be quite a lot!

Even though they knew that all this at home was brought by Han Sen's remittances, they selectively only remembered the things that were beneficial to them: the money was theirs once it was remitted back, and it had nothing to do with Han Sen, who could not and did not deserve to use it!

"Since we can't let the third son stay at home and eat and drink our food, then we should find a way to make him separate and not stay with us." Han's mother held a needle in her hand and sewed shoe soles under the dim light of a kerosene lamp. The soles of her eldest son's shoes were a little thin, and those of the second son were also old, so she had to hurry to make new ones.

"There is a rule in our village that if we want to separate our son from the family, the parents must first arrange for him to get married and start a family." Father Han took another puff of his cigarette and spoke quietly.

"What, getting married? Doesn't that cost money? Old man, let me make it clear first, you can't give him our money. I don't have any money." Upon hearing this, Han's mother put down her shoe soles and snorted at Han's father.

"That's right, Dad. All the money in our family is for you grandchildren. How can we use it for that good-for-nothing third brother?" Han Lin echoed his mother's words. Others also discussed the matter. In short, Han Sen had to separate and live on his own, but there was no money for him to use for marriage.

But how can one marry a wife without money? And who to marry? Which girl would be willing to marry Han Sen, who would soon become a waste? As everyone talked about this, they fell silent.

At this moment, Han Mu thought of what happened in the afternoon. "Dad, I saw the third child and Su Yunyun from the captain's family standing together and talking this afternoon. Didn't our village say that? Su Yunyun was saved by the third child, and she must repay him for saving her life. Let her marry the third child!"

Han Mu's words opened the Su family's minds. They all agreed that Su Yunyun must marry the third brother. However, Han's father and mother knew that Su Yunyun was well-known for being favored at home, and the wedding gift must not be low. It was still unknown whether they would agree to Su Yunyun marrying in. What's more, their family did not have the money to pay the wedding gift. It would be strange if the Su family would agree to this marriage.

"The third son can't return to the army because his shoulder is broken. The army gave him a retirement pay. I heard that the money is not much. I was thinking of keeping the money after I get it back. But now, I'll use it to pay the betrothal gift. This will be the last thing I, as a mother, can do for him." Han's mother felt that she was quite great.

"But will the Su family agree to this?"

"Mom, Su Yunyun has a bad reputation in the village. It's too bad for her to marry the third brother. One has a bad reputation and the other is a waste. They are a perfect match!" Zhang Cao couldn't help getting excited when he thought about Su Yunyun, the golden phoenix, being paired with the waste third brother.

"Yes, mother, they are a perfect match, but it is not up to her Su family whether they are willing or not," Han Lin's eyes lit up and he laughed, the greasy fat on his face trembling, "Since the villagers have said that the third brother touched and hugged Su Yunyun when he rescued her, then we have to make it happen. Only in this way can she marry the third brother, and her price will be determined by us. We are not the unscrupulous people who demand a dowry. The dowry can be as much as the third brother's retirement pay."

"That won't work. It doesn't cost money to hold a wedding banquet. We have to keep some of the money." Liu Hua thought further ahead.

"Why hold a banquet? People are penniless now. We can't even make back our investment from the gifts we collect. We can't do business at a loss." Zhang Cao refused.

"That's right, my wife is right, we can't hold a banquet." Han Lin stroked Zhang Cao's shoulder to express his agreement.

"Then we can bring the person back and separate the family that day, and we can also save a meal." Han's mother felt that this was the best way to do it.

"Eldest son's wife, second son's wife, when you go out next time, remember to talk to more people about third son and Su Yunyun's matter, okay?" Seeing that everything had been discussed, Han's father began to make arrangements.

"Okay, Dad, just wait!" Liu Hua and Zhang Cao happily took on the task, they are really good at it!
