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

"Okay, then go and take a look yourself."

Lin Ping knew that making money was not easy, so he didn't dare to order expensive dishes and just ordered a vegetable dish and a serving of tofu.

Lin Yuyao insisted on ordering a braised pork belly.

Lin Ping pressed her hand down: "We just ate meat yesterday, and it will be at least a week before we can eat meat again. Don't order any more, it's a waste of money."

Lin Yuyao pushed his hand away and said, "It's okay, your sister can still afford to pay for the meat."

The two returned with the food box, chatting as they walked.

"Sis, this bookstore is huge! It's even bigger than the biggest bookstore in our town."

Lin Yuyao: "..." Isn't there only one bookstore in our town?

He looked around and said, "This is also a town, and this town even has a traffic light. How come there are such big differences between towns?"

"This place is called a town because it used to be a town, and a large town with a long history. Now it has developed and is connected to the city center. It's even bigger than a city in the west."

"Yes, I think so too, it's much more luxurious."

As they were about to return to the shop, Lin Ping pulled Lin Yuyao aside and asked, "Sister, how much do they pay you a month when you work here?"

"Ninety." They got a raise a few days ago, so now it's ninety.

"Wow, that's great! My aunt's husband, who's a cadre, doesn't even make ninety yuan."

The cadres at the rural agricultural machinery station seem to be under ninety.

"This is a big city, and the cost of living is high."

Lin Ping looked at the meat in his hand; it was indeed much more expensive than back in his hometown.

"By the way, do you really make money writing books?"

"Of course, would I lie to you? The book I sent home is worth two thousand yuan."

Lin Ping was both envious and touched. "Big sister, you're now the most successful one in our Lin family. Two thousand yuan is something I never even dared to dream of."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "Right now you think two thousand is a lot, more than you can imagine. But once you graduate smoothly, you won't think two thousand is a lot anymore. Maybe in the future, you'll spend more than two thousand on a single meal."

"What? Two thousand for one meal? Is that even food? It's probably gold nuggets."

Lin Yuyao smiled and shook her head, patting Lin Ping on the shoulder and saying, "Little brother, relax a bit. When we were kids, we thought that having electric lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs was unthinkable. Look at this big city, how many families have already achieved that? And they also have rice cookers, washing machines, refrigerators, and electric fans when it's hot."

Lin Ping nodded. This was something that could only be seen on television, but he also knew it was true, which was why it was shown on TV.

Lin Ping would spend his days reading in the bookstore, and then take Lin Yuyao out shopping after she got off work.

She used to never go to night markets, but Lin Ping has been with her these past few days, so he's taken her around for two days, and she's gradually become familiar with the area.

When he first arrived, he seemed a little uneasy, looking at everything with curiosity but not daring to ask questions or touch anything.

Even if I see something I like in a shop, I only dare to look at it from the outside and don't dare to go in.

He feels even more uncomfortable if he doesn't stand at the entrance of a shop with a nice decor.

Lin Yuyao pulled him inside and bought him a set of clothes in a nicely decorated shop.

Summer clothes aren't expensive either.

A few days later, it rained, which was a rare occurrence.

A heavy rain swept away the sweltering heat of the past few days.

The sky was overcast after the rain stopped, and it wasn't hot.

Lin Ping stopped reading in the store, said goodbye to Lin Yuyao, and went out shopping.

Around 5 p.m., Lin Yuyao received a call from Fu Huaiyi.

Fu Huaiyi told him that they saw Lu Jiangting leave after they got off work.

"Be careful, they're not looking for you, they're looking for Fang Qing."

When there are no special missions, their normal working hours are from 9 to 5. However, they have training before officially starting work in the morning, and they usually leave work on time in the afternoon.

"Okay, Brother Fu, thank you for reminding me."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuyao stood at the store entrance, looking around.

She's not on shift today; she gets off work at 5:30. There are still ten minutes until 5:30.

She told Lin Ping he had to be back by 5:30, and there were still ten minutes left, but she hadn't seen him yet.

About ten minutes later, she saw Lin Ping running back, covered in sweat.

"Sis, am I not late?"

Lin Yuyao glanced at the clock on the wall. "You're not late. You really came back just in time."

"Hehe, good that you're not late. Sis, are you off work now?"

"Yes, let's go."

As they left the bookstore, Lin Yuyao said to him, "Lu Jiangting came out today."

Lin Ping raised an eyebrow and clenched his fist. "Hmph, I'm going to beat him to death."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Have you forgotten everything I told you?

"This...no."

"So what did I say to you?"

Lin Ping said in a low voice, "We live in a society governed by the rule of law. We have no money, no power, and no background. We can't afford to offend Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing."

Lin Yuyao took a deep breath and said, "Just remember that. Our last relationship with Lu Jiangting was that forty yuan. As long as we get it back, there's no need to talk about the past."

With no money, no power, and no background, my sister was bullied and humiliated by that scumbag Lu Jiangting.

Lin Ping clenched his fists tightly, secretly vowing that he would make sure his sister had a powerful and wealthy background.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. So where is he?"

Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "He might be going to find Fang Qing. Let's keep an eye on the bus stop and make sure he returns the remaining forty yuan."

"Row."

Lu Jiangting's workplace provides a free shuttle bus that passes through Chenshan Town and its final destination is the city center.

Lin Yuyao knew that the shuttle bus would also stop at the nearby bus stop.

The siblings hid under the tree and waited for a while before the bus arrived.

Soon, a familiar person got off the bus.

Lin Ping clenched his fists and was about to rush forward.

Lin Yuyao pressed him down and said, "Don't rush, follow him. I guess he's here to give Fang Qing money. We'll make our move after we see the money."

Lin Ping nodded.

The two secretly followed Lu Jiangting, and Lin Yuyao gradually realized something was wrong.

He didn't go in the direction of Fang Qing's house.

Instead, he wandered around the buildings where she lived.

Lu Jiangting probably didn't know exactly where she lived, but he knew the general area, so... could Lu Jiangting have come looking for her?

Are you asking her to repay the money?

How can he be any better?

"Sis, what's he doing wandering around here?"

Lin Yuyao frowned and said, "He might be here to see me."

"Looking for you? The engagement's off, what does he want with you?"

"Maybe he had a change of heart and came to ask me to repay the money."

Seeing that Lu Jiangting had turned to the building furthest from her home, she nudged Lin Ping and said, "Let's go, let's go there."

The two walked towards Lu Jiangting, and Lu Jiangting turned his head and saw the siblings.

"Yuyao, Lin Ping? What brings you here?"

Lin Ping snorted and ignored him.

Lin Yuyao took out the IOU and said to him, "Give me the money, the IOU is here."
