Lin Mei was a little embarrassed to say it, so she simply explained: "No, I just broke something in the store and I need compensation."

"Xiaoyu, can you help me? I really don't know what to do..."

It turned out that she broke something in the store and needed compensation. Liang Yu was even less likely to pay attention to her when she heard that. Besides, they were only good friends in high school and went to separate universities. What if Lin Mei couldn't pay her back?

This guy doesn't have that fool Zhou Yun to provide him with money now, so he can't pay it back even if he relies on Cheng Gang!

So Liang Yu also started to cry poor: "Xiao Mei, you should know my family's situation. My family only gives me more than 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses. You haven't returned the 500 yuan you lent me last time..."

"Where can I get you 15,000 yuan? Why don't you ask Cheng Gang if he has any? Or ask your parents for some money? If that doesn't work, you should ask Zhou Yun for help!"

"He liked you so much before, he would definitely not ignore you!"

Ask Zhou Yun for help? It was because of Zhou Yun that all these things happened today! Lin Mei gritted her teeth and replied before hanging up the phone.

The store manager saw this and asked, "What's wrong? Your boyfriend won't help you? Lin Mei, you'd better hurry up, I don't have time to waste here with you!"

Lin Mei sat on the ground, looked up at her, and then gritted her teeth and called Cheng Gang.

She really didn't want to call the other party or their family unless it was absolutely necessary, because it was very likely that she would not be able to solve the problem and would be scolded...

Cheng Gang answered the phone after a long time. Judging from his voice, he must have been sleeping. After being woken up, he started to scold him in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? Calling me at this time, don't you know I'm sleeping?!"

Hearing Cheng Gang's scolding, Lin Mei lowered her voice and said, "Dear, there is a problem here. I accidentally stained the clothes in the store and need compensation."

"Do you have fifteen thousand?"

"What?!" Cheng Gang's voice became much louder, and he cursed without any hesitation: "Are you fucking blind? How could your clothes get dirty?!"

"You are really a piece of shit who can't do anything, but always makes trouble. What else can you do? You get your clothes dirty when you go out to work. Why do you want 15,000 yuan for such a tattered piece of clothing? You are robbing me!"

"You damn old woman! I'll beat you to death if you come back!"

Lin Mei was very scared when she was scolded, because she knew Cheng Gang could definitely do it, and it was not the first time she was beaten...

In fact, Lin Mei also thought about breaking up, but according to her understanding of Cheng Gang, if they broke up, he would definitely not let her go! So she didn't dare.

"Honey, I know you're angry, but now they won't let me go. I have to pay compensation before I can go back. Can you lend me some money first? Otherwise they'll call the police..."

"Call the police?" Cheng Gang snorted coldly: "Then let them call. At most you will be detained for a few days. I have no money and I can't help you. I don't even have money for food now!"

"Solve it yourself, and remember to come back when you're done! Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you, you idiot bitch!"

After scolding Cheng Gang, he hung up the phone heartlessly. Lin Mei was completely dumbfounded. She couldn't help but recall the time she was with Zhou Yun again. The other party doted on her and coaxed her no matter what she did or how she made a fuss.

And if what happened today happened, if it was the old Zhou Yun, he would definitely rush over to comfort her and help her pay back the money...

You must not be as heartless as Cheng Gang!

The more Lin Mei thought about it, the more she regretted it and the more she was unwilling to accept it...

"Is this okay? If you really don't have any money, don't bother. Let's go to the police station!" the store manager asked impatiently.

Lin Mei frowned and looked at her: "Don't rush me, I said I can give it to you!"

The store manager rolled his eyes in disdain.

Finally, Lin Mei had no choice but to call home. She was the youngest daughter in the family and had an older brother. Although their home was in the city, they had always rented a house. Their hometown was in a mountain valley.

Both of her parents worked, and their combined salary was only three or four thousand, so the family didn't have much money. And most importantly, her parents favored boys over girls. Her mother got pregnant accidentally, and she couldn't afford an abortion, so she had to give birth to the child.

So Lin Mei didn't take it seriously at home.

She called Lin Dayou, and when the call was connected, she heard her father's impatient voice: "What are you doing? You still remember to call home? You told me to come back, but you didn't. Where have you been?!"

"Dad, I'm working outside, but something went wrong. I broke something in the store and I need 15,000 yuan in compensation. Can you give it to me? I'll pay it back to you!"

"What?! Fifteen thousand? Are you crazy or am I? Even if you sell your mother and I, our old bones are not worth that much money!"

Lin Mei had expected her father to say this, and she immediately added, "If I can't pay the money back, I'll be arrested and locked up at the police station! Dad, I know you want to find a blind date for me, but if people hear that I've been in prison, who would want me?"

Lin Dayou and his wife had always wanted to find someone to marry their daughter off, and then collect some dowry for their son to marry. They had previously disagreed with her going to college, but later they thought that if Lin Mei went to college and had knowledge, she might be able to receive a higher dowry, so they agreed.

So when Lin Mei said this, Lin Dayou hesitated. He cursed and said, "You damn girl! I told you to go back to your hometown to get married and have kids, but you didn't listen and insisted on going to a big city!"

"Now, if I go, I will have to pay for it! What a money-loser!"

Lin Mei was used to her parents scolding her like this, so she said nonchalantly: "Dad, give me the money first. I will continue to work after I pay you back. I will pay you back later."

"Don't talk too much. When do you plan to come back?"

"I might go back during the winter vacation, just in time for the Chinese New Year." Lin Mei replied.

"Okay, let's go back to our hometown together during the winter break. There are several unmarried guys waiting for you there! When the time comes, we can settle the marriage and collect some gifts. Then you can get married and have children with peace of mind. Don't waste your time talking nonsense!"

"Big cities are not meant for country folk like us, stop dreaming!"

Lin Mei clenched her fists. If she hadn't wanted money to pay off her debts, she would have hung up the phone long ago. But now she still had to rely on her family, so she had no choice but to endure it.

"I understand, Dad. I will go back to my hometown with you guys during the winter vacation to go on a blind date. Give me the money now."

Let’s cheat her out of the money first. As for the winter vacation, she’s not sure where to go!

But no matter where she goes, Lin Mei will not be willing to stay in the mountains to get married and have children!

"You said it! If you don't come back to see how I deal with you, I'll break your legs! I'll give you the money later!"
