After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Lin Yuyao counted them, and there were only one hundred?

No, she remembered that he earned 150 a month, not including bonuses.

Perhaps he didn't have it with him, or maybe he used it to pay off someone else's debt?

Last time I heard Yi Yunshuo say that he was borrowing money everywhere.

It should be.

One hundred it is, it's better than nothing.

Lin Yuyao accepted the hundred yuan directly.

"You're still ninety points short of me, right?"

Lu Jiangting's lips twitched: "Yuyao, I can't give you this money, give it back to me now."

"No, it's only right to pay back debts. You should have paid me back in full last month, and I've already allowed you to delay for a month. You can delay the remaining ninety for another month, but that's the limit."

"You... Yuyao, oh, Yuyao..."

Lin Yuyao immediately rode off on her bicycle.

Lu Jiangting's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly chased after him.

When Lin Yuyao saw how fast he was running, she was so frightened that she stood up and pedaled wildly, almost making the bicycle fly.

Lu Jiangting ultimately failed to catch up.

He stood by the roadside, panting heavily.

Whether from anger or exhaustion, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

At this point, a colleague kindly asked, "Should we have them drive after them?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"If you're not willing to pay it back..." the other party chuckled, "that would be robbery."

These words were obviously meant to mock him. If you really take it seriously, the money can be recovered, but you'll lose all face.

The key point is that in the end, I still have to return it to her.

"No need," Lu Jiangting said coldly.

Now we don't need to go looking for Fang Qing and her son.

Because he only brought one hundred yuan with him, and Lin Yuyao took it all.

He went. How should I tell Fang Qing?

But what if we don't go?

Fang Qing and her son came here to seek refuge with him. They had only ten yuan to live on for so many days. If he didn't give them money soon, they would starve to death.

If Jianjun knew they were starving, he would blame himself.

Feeling increasingly guilty, Lu Jiangting went back and found his roommate Liu Anguo, saying, "Anguo, could you lend me some more money?"

Liu Anguo looked puzzled. "Didn't we just get paid today?"

“I know, but I used it to pay off my debts, didn’t I? You can lend me the twenty yuan you owed me, and I’ll pay you back next month.”

Liu Anguo: "..." He had just returned it, and hadn't even had a chance to warm it up yet.

Since they had already spoken, he couldn't say much, so he could only take out the twenty yuan again.

"Then you'll have to pay me back next month."

Lu Jiangting took it, "Don't worry, it's definitely true."

"Once returned, it cannot be borrowed back."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

Are you short of money?

“I’m not short of money, but my family is. You know my family’s situation. I’m the eldest child, and I have younger brothers and sisters to support. My dad used to work himself to the bone to support my schooling, which ruined his health. Now he can’t do much and has to go to the hospital often. My mom just urged me a few days ago to send my salary home as soon as I get paid.”

Lu Jiangting sighed helplessly, thinking that his family was even poorer than his own.

He patted Liu Anguo on the shoulder and said, "We're in the same boat."

Liu Anguo said, "It's alright. Actually, my current situation is already the best in our village. There are many people in our village who envy me. I'll work hard for a few more years, and things will be better when my younger siblings grow up."

Lu Jiangting nodded and said, "That's right. I'll just... work hard for a few more years until Chenchen grows up."

Liu Anguo's lips twitched. "You're still planning to help raise Chenchen?"

"Yes, Jianjun... Sigh! You know, about the incident at Liangshan a couple of years ago, if it weren't for Jianjun, I would be the one who died. I can't just ignore it."

Liu Anguo frowned and said, "I think if Fang Qing and her son are really in trouble, you have to report it to the organization. You can't bear it all by yourself. You have to live your own life."

“The organization has paid all the compensation it was supposed to, and the pension is paid out every month according to the standard. What else can we do? That little bit of money is barely enough to eat, how can we support such a big boy? A child’s schooling is a considerable expense, a book costs two yuan, and this is only kindergarten.”

“That’s not what you said. Spend more when you have money, spend less when you don’t. We probably can’t increase her pension, but we can introduce her to a job. If she wants to live a good life, she should earn it herself. She can’t always rely on you.”

Lu Jiangting said, "Fang Qing said she was going to look for a job, but it would be a few months later. Because Chenchen isn't in school yet, she plans to wait until Chenchen starts school in September before going to work, otherwise she won't feel at ease leaving the child at home."

"How old is the child?"

"Five years old."

Liu Anguo nodded and said, "That's true. Children who are neither too young nor too old are the most mischievous, and it's really worrying to leave them unsupervised. Why don't you help her for a few more months?"

"Yes, I'll leave her to her own devices once she finds a job."

It seems that this is the only way. Liu Anguo could see that he had a tough time, carrying such a heavy moral burden.

They could be living a good life, but they still have to borrow money everywhere.

Of course, if a matter of life and death can be resolved with money, that's actually quite good. After all, some things can't be solved with just money.

Wait a minute.

After sighing, Liu Anguo suddenly remembered, "Didn't you take out a hundred and say you were going to give it to Fang Qing?"

"I..." He didn't dare say that Lin Yuyao had taken it away, after all, it was still a bit shameful to give Lin Yuyao's dowry to Fang Qing.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll take it back to my sister."

"Huh? You borrowed money from your sister?"

"Yes, as I told you before, Fang Qing wanted to open a hair salon but didn't have enough money, so she borrowed some from me. I lent all my money to Fang Qing, which left me without any money for the trip back. I had to borrow from my sister. Now my sister is pressuring me to pay her back. Since I wasn't home, she's been bothering my parents, which is making them very upset."

Liu Anguo asked, "Is she your biological sister?"

"Of course."

"My own sister is urging me so much? This doesn't seem like a sister at all. To be honest, I've never felt there was anything wrong with sending money back home to support my younger siblings."

“This…” Lu Jiangting said softly, “Every family situation is different. My sister has been married for several years and has her own life to live. I will definitely pay back the money I borrowed from her.”

"You still have to pay it back, but you're facing some difficulties right now, so you should ask her to be more understanding."

The more Lu Jiangting talked, the more guilty he felt, and he didn't want to continue the topic.

"Alright, alright, Anguo, let's not talk about this. I'm grateful for the money you lent me. I'm leaving now, I'll talk to you again when I get back."

"Hey~" He hadn't finished speaking yet.

Lu Jiangting, having taken the money, had already run far away.

After arriving in Chenshan Town, Lu Jiangting went directly to find Fang Qing.

Fang Qing knew he would come, so she used her last dollar or so to buy fresh vegetables and cut two ounces of meat to make meat dumplings, just waiting for him to come and eat.

Fang Qing was incredibly enthusiastic, after all, it had been agreed beforehand that Lu Jiangting would give her fifty yuan.

After they finished eating the dumplings, Lu Jiangting only took out ten yuan, and Fang Qing's expression changed.

How come it's only ten yuan?

Didn't we agree on fifty yuan?
