Lend Money

This medicine wasn’t bitter, but it was torturous for people who hated taking medicine. After a bowl of medicine, Xiao Sheng’s facial features scrunched up.

When Yu Bing hurriedly stuffed the candy she had prepared into Xiao Sheng’s mouth, her fingers accidentally touched Xiao Sheng’s soft lips, and the two of them froze.

When Yu Bing came back to her senses, she hurriedly retracted her hand and her eyes flickered as she looked elsewhere. “Um… I’ll go back first.”

With that, Yu Bing stood up and quickly walked out of the Xiao family’s house. As Xiao Sheng watched Yu Bing flee, he reached out to touch his mouth. As he thought about the touch just now and felt the sweetness of the melted candy filling his mouth, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“Second Brother, has Sister Yu Bing left?” Xiao Li was sitting in the living room while waiting for class, but she heard Yu Bing walking further and further away, so she frowned and asked Xiao Lin curiously.

Xiao Lin heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like he could skip class tonight.

He closed his book and turned to Xiao Li. “Sister Yu Bing seems to have something urgent to do, so it looks like we won’t have class tonight. Let’s not disturb her.”

Xiao Li nodded obediently, while Xiao Lin quickly put the book back into his bag excitedly.

He planned to go to the stream to look for his friends. In the afternoon, he heard them say that they were going to roast the peanuts they had picked up on the mountain yesterday. He originally thought that there was no time for him to join them, but he had time now.

Xiao Lin walked to the door of the living room quietly. First, he stuck his head out and looked around. When he saw his brother focused on reading, he took a deep breath and sneaked towards the entrance.

Xiao Sheng said in a cold voice, “Have you finished memorizing your textbook yet?”

Xiao Lin stopped what he was doing and turned around to see Xiao Sheng staring at him with a serious expression. He immediately begged, “Brother, I’ll memorize it tomorrow night.”

Xiao Sheng snorted and said, “You also said that yesterday, so you’re not allowed to go out until you’re done reciting.”

Xiao Lin could only return to the table dejectedly. He knew that Yu Bing’s words were like an imperial edict. Sigh, those poor little peanuts could only enter someone else’s stomach.

In the intellectual dormitory.

Yu Yan planned to ask the three young men in the same batch as her. After all, they had lived in the same courtyard for so long. Moreover, they were not the kind of people who liked to gossip, so she didn’t have to worry about them spouting nonsense.

In the first half of the year, another intellectual got married. Liu Ming, Qian Hao, and Li Zhen had a good relationship, so they found an opportunity to transfer to another dormitory.

After Yu Yan finished eating, she went straight to their dormitory.

Yu Yan smiled as she greeted the three of them at the door. “Hello, I have something to tell you guys. Are you guys free now?”

The three of them were a little surprised to see Yu Yan at the door. Not only was Yu Yan usually arrogant, but ever since everyone moved to the dormitory building together, Yu Yan had barely taken the initiative to talk to them.

Qian Hao, who was writing a letter at the table, stood up with a smile and took the initiative to say to Yu Yan, “I’m free. Come in and sit.”

It wasn’t that they had a grudge against Yu Yan. Since there was a Yu Yan, they had to treat her well out of courtesy. Liu Ming and Li Zhen also stopped what they were doing and chatted with Yu Yan.

After Yu Yan entered the room and sat on a chair, Qian Hao immediately went to pour a glass of water and placed it in front of Yu Yan as he greeted with a smile, “Yu Yan, drink water.”

Yu Yan nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the three of them had a good attitude towards her, Yu Yan felt optimistic.

This was the first time Yu Yan borrowed money from someone. Previously, she had borrowed 50 yuan from the village committee, but Yu Yan felt that it wasn’t exactly borrowing money. To be precise, it was on credit. After all, she could pay for it with her work points.

She took a sip of water to ease her nervousness before asking, “I need money urgently now, so I want to borrow some from you guys. I can pay it back next month!”

The reason Yu Yan said that she would return it next month was that she was worried that if the time was too long, everyone would be even more unwilling to lend it to her. Moreover, she believed that her adoptive brother would give her money within a month.

Then, she would find out what Cui Jin had said to her adoptive brother that made him ignore her. Moreover, she had a trump card. As long as she wheedled, her adoptive brother would compromise.

Yu Yan was confident that she would definitely be able to pay it back next month.

However, there was never anything definite in the world. Life would always create accidents in various ways. Reality would give Yu Yan a heavy blow a month later.
