Chapter 69: Siblings (Middle)
"Sister, Ming Luo, you guys come out to eat too!" Along with Ling Yu's teasing, Yang Huaijun's face was a bitter smile, but he still hastily invited them, then pulled on Ling Yu's sleeve again, "This is outside."
"What's going on outside? You have to pay back debts, it's only right. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly." This remark made Ling Yu angry, and her tone rose a bit. She glanced at Yang Huai Xiu sideways and said, "We just happened to run into each other today. Who knows if she's always like this when no one knows? Some people are used to living a good life, even when borrowing money, they have to enjoy the good food and drink."
"Xiao Ling..."
Ling Yu glared at him, and Yang Huai Xiu could only sigh helplessly, getting up with a bitter smile.
"Sister, you don't want to be stuck in the middle every day either. I think it's better if you just pay back the money you owe us, so we can both avoid being embarrassed."
Isn't it embarrassing? At least Ling Yu's face at this moment had no signs of embarrassment, and her words were even more pressing.
To be honest, Ling Yu herself has some power, but if it were a normal situation, she wouldn't have pursued the tens of thousands so tightly. The key is that she's afraid of getting into trouble, so she's eager to sever ties with Yang Huaiyu and her family.
She and Yang Huaijun are both in the system, but there is a big gap between them. Ling Yu himself is in the municipal government office comprehensive department, has been promoted to deputy director, and has more contact with people every day, his vision has also gradually improved, while Yang Huaijun is just an idle staff member at Xinchuan City Agricultural Bureau.
Fang Shu was closely related to that matter after all, and no matter what the purpose was, Ling Yu had also inquired about many small messages. Later, he decisively wanted to draw a clear line with Fang Shu's family.
If it weren't for this, Yang Huaijun would have taken out the money, and even 40,000 yuan is not a small amount for their family, but she wouldn't be so unkind either.
But in private, she also scolded Yang Huaijun for not knowing how to do things and being stuck in the agricultural bureau for three or four years without any improvement. As for this private scolding, Yang Huaijun naturally became more and more angry. No matter how his character of being afraid of his wife was cultivated in the past, when it came to his own family members, he couldn't just let Ling Yu humiliate him all the time. So recently, their relationship has been quite tense.
"I... " was almost lectured by the other person, Yang Huaixiu's face was also awkwardly pale, "Give me a few more days, after I sell the house..."
"Sister, the house can't be sold, that's your home, where will you live if you sell the house? Don't listen to her, we'll talk about that money later." As soon as Yang Huaiyu heard this, Yang Huaibei suddenly stopped and then became somewhat anxious. If he really waited for his sister to sell her only house to pay him back those tens of thousands of yuan, would he still be considered human?
So at this moment he couldn't care less about Ling Yu's cold and arrogant attitude, and directly interrupted him.
However, his interruption made Ling Yu's eyebrows furrowed in annoyance, and he said, "I say Yang Huaijun, you've really become arrogant lately?"
"Xiao Ling..." Ling Yu scolded herself, but Yang Huaixiu could bear it. However, seeing her scolding her younger brother in public without showing any mercy, she couldn't take it anymore and hastily spoke up again.
It was also at this time that Zhou Ming Luo suddenly stood up, grabbed Yang Huai Xiu's arm and said, "Sister Hui, you really don't have to sell the house, I'll pay her back the money you owe her right now."
If he didn't speak up, Zhou Ming couldn't imagine how things would develop. In fact, he had planned to open his mouth from the moment he saw Xiuniang, and was ready to tell her about the general situation of this week, but unfortunately, there was no chance, and now even if it seemed impolite, he had to interrupt.
In his heart, Zhou Ming was even more dissatisfied with Ling Yu, they were all family members, but for a not-too-large sum of money, they had to make such a fuss in public, he really couldn't bear it.
It was also a sentence, and the few people who were originally still arguing were all stunned, and they all looked at Zhou Ming Luo with surprise and doubt. Yang Huai Xiu and Yang Huai Jun had shocked faces, while Ling Yu looked at Zhou Ming Luo with a very curious gaze, sizing him up from head to toe.
Even in her heart, she couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
It's true that Zhou Ming Luo had been following Fang's family for quite some time, but Ling Yu really didn't know who Zhou Ming Luo was. At most, she just felt a sense of familiarity. After all, she was the deputy director of the municipal government office, and even when Fang Shu Tong hadn't gotten into trouble before, she still looked down on the Fang family. How would she remember Fang Shu Tong's apprentice, a small-time peddler?
But even if you don't remember Zhou Ming Luo, Ling Yu suddenly smiled and said, "You give? You can also give, as long as you have money."
She doesn't care who Zhou Ming Luo is, as long as she gets her money back.
"Stop messing around, where do you have the money now? It's settled. I'll contact you in a few days to see about selling the house." After being stunned, Yang Huaixiu also immediately pulled Zhou Mingluo aside, and in her eyes, she probably thought that Zhou Mingluo just wanted to stir up trouble and not let her lose face.
After all, she also knew that he had spent all his savings more than a week ago. Where could he suddenly take out 40,000 yuan? Besides, even if Zhou Ming Luo could afford it, she wouldn't let him pay for it anyway.
"I have it." Zhou Ming Luo could be indifferent to Ling Yu, but he couldn't do the same with Xiuniang, so he could only explain helplessly and then took out a checkbook, "It's 40,000, I'll sign it over to you now."
It wasn't until then that Ling Yu suddenly paused, looked at Yang Huaixiu with suspicion, and said, "Check? Who knows if this check is real or fake, can it be cashed, or are you trying to deceive me?"
She was indeed a bit suspicious, after all, even Yang Huaixiu himself said that Zhou Ming had no money. After her doubts, she sneered and said, "I said your level of escaping debt has improved, previously you just said you had no money, now you also know to use an empty check to fool people first."
This made Zhou Mingluo stunned for a moment, just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, a sudden and abrupt ringtone of the phone rang out, temporarily unable to explain, Zhou Mingluo had to take out his mobile phone to look at it, only to find that it was Chen Yulang who called.
After a moment's hesitation, he still answered the phone.
"Zhou Lao Di, where are you now? Are you in Xinkuan?" The prison warden Chen on the other end of the line seemed a bit tense and immediately asked as soon as the call was connected.
"Ah, I'm here, what's wrong?" The tense tone also affected Zhou Mingluo, and he asked hesitantly afterwards.
"Ah, that's great, that's great. By the way, where are you now? I'll rush over immediately." Chen Yuanchang said with a smile, speaking again.
"Min Zheng Road Qing Xiang Restaurant, Brother Chen, what's going on?" Hurry over right away? Zhou Ming Luo's confusion grew even greater.
"Ah, you're on Minzhi Road? Great, I just left the First Municipal Hospital, five minutes, I'll be there in five minutes, wait for me." Zhou Ming's response made Chen Yulong extremely happy again, and he hung up the phone with a "pa" sound.
This endless tension and excitement made Zhou Mingluo dizzy again, what's going on?
However, just as he was puzzled, Ling Yu on the other side suddenly sneered and spoke again in a strange tone, "I say you guys are really thorough with your acting, first using fake checks, now that this trick doesn't work, there will be a phone call to rush people? Tsk tsk, it's not easy indeed."
