Luo Qiao noticed no one followed her in, turned her head to see soone still standing in the yard: "Why are you in a daze? Co in and wash your hands, get ready to eat."
She brought the dishes from the pot to the table, directed Lu Yichen to bring over the stewed chicken, and then scooped the rice, getting ready for the al.
Lu Yichen set up the dishes and washed his hands: "Who was that woman just now? Why did she co to our house?"
Luo Qiao scooping rice, said: "She said her husband is Yan Santai, a subordinate of Qiu Guangming, ca to borrow money from ."
While speaking, she didn’t forget to watch Lu Yichen’s expression, thinking he might know sothing.
Lu Yichen then said: "Is she Yan Santai’s wife?"
Luo Qiao nodded: "Yes, that’s what she said."
"How did you know each other?"
"I don’t know her."
"Then how did she co to our house to borrow money?"
"I don’t know, she said when I ca back, she was standing next to those people who were greeting ."
"Oh, got it, she probably heard others talking, thought you might have money, so she tried to scam you."
"Is there a story?"
"She has a gambling addict Big Brother, who often cos ho asking for money, won’t leave unless he gets it. Now Yan Santai won’t hand his salary to his wife, because it disappears soon after.
She’s borrowed from almost everyone nearby, Yan Santai used to help repay, but when it went on endlessly, he announced in the compound that whoever lends his wife money should find her to repay, he’s not responsible, now no one dares lend her money in the compound."
Luo Qiao nodded: "Luckily, I didn’t believe her, and you returned just in ti, this woman is really bold, directly asked for eight hundred."
Lu Yichen helped Luo Qiao with a piece of pork rib: "What did you say?"
Luo Qiao picked up the rib: "What else could I say? I said I don’t have that much money on , let you get it tomorrow and give it to her husband, then she changed her tune, just asking for whatever amount I could lend.
I hadn’t figured out how to refuse her yet, then you ca back just in ti, she gave up asking for money, said to pretend she hadn’t asked, grabbed her kid and left hurriedly."
Lu Yichen shook his head: "I have to talk to Yan Santai about this to prevent any trouble and ensure harmony in the compound."
Luo Qiao didn’t object, such a person indeed needs regular reminders to prevent any real trouble.
The two exchanged pork ribs and chicken at, eventually feeding each other, truly making one unable to look away.
The two tidied up the dishes together and cozied up reading together, inevitably indulging in sweet talk.
The next day, Lu Yichen got up early to prepare breakfast, while Luo Qiao was too tired to get up.
By the ti she got up, it was already past ten, and there was warm food in the kitchen for her.
After she finished eating and tidying up, she heard soone knocking and thought: "Could it be that Du Xii isn’t giving up and ca again?"
She replied: "Who is it?"
"Sister-in-law, it’s , Kang Liyan from across the street."
Upon hearing it was Kang Liyan from across the street, Luo Qiao opened the door: "Co in quickly, are you on holiday too?"
Kang Liyan smiled and said: "Yes, school’s been on holiday since yesterday."
They entered the room, and Kang Liyan said: "Sister-in-law, do you have any ginger at ho?"
Luo Qiao nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, how much do you need?"
Kang Liyan said joyfully: "Just lend a small piece, I forgot to buy ginger yesterday when I went shopping. Yesterday I didn’t cook any at dishes, so I forgot about it. Now I’m thinking of stewing so at, everything’s ready but there’s no ginger, and the market is a bit far, so I ca over."
Luo Qiao went to the kitchen and grabbed a big piece of ginger for her, Kang Liyan hurriedly refused: "I don’t need that much, I’m going to the market again tomorrow."
She tore off a piece from the top: "This should be enough."
Luo Qiao laughed: "It’s not worth much, take more in case it’s not enough."
Kang Yanli laughed: "It’s enough, it’s enough."
Then she looked towards the main gate: "Yesterday I saw Yan Santai’s wife ca to see you?"
"Yes, she did co over."
"You didn’t lend her money, did you?"
"Do you know sothing?"
"Everyone in the compound knows about her; she has an unreliable brother who often gets chased for debts. At first, Yan Santai indulged her, but when it got too much, he made it clear, whoever lends Du Xii money, he’s not responsible, things have quieted down a bit since then.
I guess Du Xii thought you didn’t know the situation, and could cheat you once, since Yan Santai wouldn’t dare not repay you anyway, also thinking you have money, might lend more."
"By the way, how much did she ask from you?"
Luo Qiao smiled faintly: "She asked for eight hundred, but I didn’t have that much on , then she said to lend whatever amount I could. Just when I was about to give her money, Yichen ca back, and she got up and left."
Kang Liyan clapped her hands, laughing backwards: "Haha, Director Lu ca back just in ti, otherwise Yan Santai would lose more money."
