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

Zhou Jing gave her a thumbs up.

Then the door opened, and Fang Qing saw that it was Lin Yuyao, and immediately didn't want to close the door.

However, Zhou Jing had already stepped inside before her and blocked the door.

The door wouldn't close, and Fang Qing's face darkened. She said awkwardly, "Oh, it's Yu Yao. You really are something. We're from the same hometown, so why did you lie to me and say you were reading the water meter?"

Lin Yuyao: "If I didn't say that, would you open the door?"

As she spoke, she pushed Fang Qing aside and went inside.

Upon entering the house, they saw Lu Jiangting playing with toys with Wang Chen.

Feeling embarrassed at being caught in the act, Lu Jiangting explained to Lin Yuyao, "I just came to see Chenchen, Yuyao, don't misunderstand."

"What misunderstanding did I have? You have nothing to do with me, and who you date is none of my business."

Lu Jiangting frowned. "Yuyao, don't say things out of anger."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Speechless. Does he really think he and I can still be together?

"I heard you're going to pay me back? Where's the money?"

Lu Jiangting's expression changed. "Who told you that?"

Lin Yuyao was worried that if she told the truth, he would cause trouble for Yi Yunshuo.

So he told a lie.

"I received a strange phone call today. It said it was from the military, and the person's name was something like Wang."

Yes, Yi Yunshuo said he was Lao Wang.

“He said he had already asked Lu Jiangting to return the money to me, and told me not to go to the brigade gate to block the gate and demand money anymore, as it would damage the reputation of the army and also have a negative impact on me personally.”

what?

Lu Jiangting stood there, stunned.

Lin Yuyao added, "I promised him. I said I wouldn't go if he paid me back. But if he doesn't, I'll have to go and wait for him."

Lu Jiangting's face was grim.

Lin Yuyao sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm just an ordinary citizen. What can I do if you borrow money and don't pay it back? If you say you want to borrow a lot, then I'll go directly to court and sue you. If you still don't pay it back, I'll apply for enforcement."

Going through this whole process would take at least six months, it's a hassle for me, and you wouldn't get any benefit either. But it's just a matter of ninety yuan, less than a month's salary for you, probably not even enough to cover lawyer fees and court costs, right? I don't want to come to this point either.

Of course, I believe you don't want it to come to this. After all, if a mandatory enforcement document were issued to your unit, you'd lose face, wouldn't you?

Lu Jiangting felt utterly overwhelmed and let out a long sigh.

"Yuyao, after so many years of relationship, is it worth it to come to this just for money?"

Lin Yuyao: "I wanted to ask you that too."

She glanced at Fang Qing beside her and said, "We've been together for years. What can't you lie to me about? You've cheated me out of my money? Money is my life. You've cheated me out of my life to please other women. Is this what you call a 'years of relationship'?"

Everyone: "..."

How did such a small amount of money escalate into a matter of life and death?

"Lu Jiangting, give me back my life."

Lu Jiangting's face was pale, and he stammered, "This fate... no, this money... I..."

He looked at Fang Qing and said in a low voice, "They have no living expenses left, Yu Yao, can you give them a few more days?"

Lin Yuyao glared at him coldly, "So you gave my life to her again?"

"Yuyao, don't say such harsh things."

"I'm sorry, but if you don't pay me back, I'll have to be this harsh."

She stared at the two of them and said, "If you don't return my money today, I'll find... Old Wang?"

"Comrade Wang, go and reason with us."

Lu Jiangting naturally dared not make a bigger scene. When Old Wang called him in for a talk, he talked about his family's difficulties and how he had no choice but to borrow money.

Old Wang knew he came from the countryside and that his family's financial difficulties were unavoidable.

However, he felt that it was inappropriate for people to block his door and demand payment, so he asked how much he still owed.

He owed ninety, but Old Wang generously lent him one hundred so he could pay the debt back first.

If Lin Yuyao makes a scene again, wouldn't she find out that he hasn't paid back the money?

Left with no other choice, he had to ask Fang Qing to hand over the money.

Fang Qing was extremely unwilling.

"If we give this money to Yuyao, what will Chenchen and I do?"

"I'll think of another way," Lu Jiangting said.

“But this…” She looked at Lin Yuyao with difficulty and said, “Yuyao, please have pity on us, a widow and her child, and give us a few more days, okay?”

"No, I just feel so sorry for you, you can't even get married now."

Fang Qing: "..."

Zhou Jing, standing nearby, said, "Hey, sister, don't go too far. You've ruined their childhood sweetheart relationship of so many years, and how dare you take her dowry? Even a mother-in-law wouldn't be so shameless, let alone a 'sister-in-law' like you. Besides, the wedding isn't even going to happen."

She emphasized the words "elder sister-in-law" very heavily.

Fang Qing blushed.

She naturally didn't want to give away the money she had already received.

But Lin Yuyao and Zhou Jing were both watching.

Lu Jiangting was worried that Lin Yuyao would call his boss back to complain, so he advised her to take it out.

Even if she didn't want to, she had no choice but to take it out.

Unfortunately, there were only fifty yuan.

Lin Yuyao said coldly, "Why is it only fifty? Wasn't it supposed to be ninety yuan? Where's the forty yuan?"

Fang Qing said, "Only fifty? Jiang Ting only gave me fifty."

Lu Jiangting did indeed only give fifty, thinking that fifty was about right and there was no need to give the whole amount.

The remaining forty was still in his pocket.

No, it should be fifty. Old Wang gave him an extra ten yuan for emergencies.

Lin Yuyao glared at Lu Jiangting, "Give me the remaining forty."

Lu Jiangting said, "If I pay back another forty, it will be paid off. Shouldn't you give me the IOU by now?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

The IOU is still on its way.

Fang Qing perked up as soon as she saw that she couldn't produce an IOU.

"We've already paid you back so much, and we still haven't seen the IOU. You're not just taking the money and not returning the IOU, are you?"

"Who said I wouldn't pay it back? I didn't bring the IOU with me, I'll give it to you later."

Lu Jiangting said, "Then I'll give you forty more later."

Well... she didn't have a loan agreement, so she was in the wrong and had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay, I'll give it to you later."

Lin Yuyao gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Jiangting meaningfully.

As she left, she stared at Lu Jiangting and sneered, "After knowing you for so many years, it turns out I don't even have basic trust in you."

Lu Jiangting's expression changed. "Yuyao, it's not that I don't believe you, but... but..."

He couldn't say it.

This is the last bond between him and her.

It's not that he doesn't want to pay her back; if he wanted to pay her back, where couldn't he borrow the money from?

He deliberately delayed because he didn't want to sever his ties with her.

I didn't expect there to be another misunderstanding.

Lin Yuyao said, "It's fine. There was no trust to begin with. One hand pays the money, the other hand returns the IOU. It's fine."

After saying that, she pulled Zhou Jing away.

……

Despite saying he wouldn't be celebrating his birthday today, Fu Huaiyi still treated a few close friends to lunch.

He stayed at a restaurant in Chenshan Town; he didn't want to go too far.

When a group of men get together, it's inevitable that they'll have a few drinks.
