As the saying goes, good deeds stay indoors while bad deeds spread far and wide, with Yang Xi causing such a commotion today, indeed no one would dare to matchmake for Deng Juan anymore.
Even if there really was a suitable match, upon hearing that Deng Juan owed money outside, they would extinguish the thought of matchmaking.
Qin Jiao felt it didn’t matter: “No one daring to matchmake is just fine, I see that sister Deng Juan doesn’t have such ideas now either.”
Twenty-two years old seemed so young to Qin Jiao.
Undergraduates generally graduated at this age, after graduation one must first strive in career for a few years before talking about marriage.
Thinking that Deng Juan wouldn’t receive harassing calls from her family in the short term, Qin Jiao’s mood lightened.
“Once sister Deng Juan returns, I’ll give her the year-end bonus.”
As the three were talking, Deng Baoquan ran past them like mad, heading straight to the village head’s home.
Yang Xi bringing people to cause chaos at Deng’s home went so smoothly because today more than half the village people had gone to the village head’s home, to hear Deng Shangwei talk about expanding the farming scale next year.
“Let’s go, follow and see.”
Wen Ying and the other two followed Deng Baoquan, this person charged headlong into the village head’s small courtyard, eyes fierce wanting to settle accounts with Deng Shangwei.
“I entrusted my daughter to you, why would she owe debt? A few days ago you said she was working as a nanny, now you say she stopped long ago, you take me for a fool!”
Deng Shangwei sat steadily in the crowd not afraid, Deng Baoquan hadn’t charged to him yet when he was blocked by people.
Only then did Deng Shangwei ask everyone: “Have you heard me say such words?”
The villagers looked at each other, very tacitly shaking their heads.
“Haven’t heard!”
“Baoquan, this is your family matter, solve it behind closed doors at home, don’t play rogue.”
“Yes yes…”
Deng Baoquan was furious to death, loudly cursing Deng Shangwei as black-hearted.
Wang Shuang tiptoed laughing: “Do you all feel that uncle Deng now seems like a ‘wealthy but unkind’ bully, that plot in the opera, the landlord Huang Shiren forcibly taking Xier…”
“Not at all like.”
Wen Ying’s hand itched: “My little uncle isn’t called wealthy but unkind, he’s wealthy and too kind!”
What landlord taking Xier, clearly an aquaculture boss sheltering a fellow villager distant relative!
The villagers found Deng Baoquan obstructive, several people carried him away, the village head let Deng Shangwei explain in detail again about expanding the farming scale.
Qin Jiao seeing this, also took the chance to squeeze into the crowd, wanting to talk about crayfish farming.
In the farmhouse small courtyard, Qin Jiao talking eloquently attracted everyone’s gaze.
Wang Shuang only looked twice before withdrawing his gaze.
Qin Jiao was still that Qin Jiao, even more excellent than before, Qin Jiao hadn’t changed, it was Wang Shuang himself who changed.
Wen Ying noticed this detail, secretly smiled.
Wen Ying also stood listening for a while, until her phone ringtone sounded.
Seeing the caller was Deng Juan.
Wen Ying walked a few steps away before answering.
“How is it?”
“My dad called me, he said the whole family was harmed miserably by me, warned me not to return home before paying off the debt.”
Deng Juan’s voice sounded a bit hoarse, perhaps she had cried again.
Wen Ying didn’t expose it either, softly said: “If you regret…”
“I don’t regret!”
Deng Juan not only received calls from home, but also “frontline feedback” from Yang Xi, her family’s reaction chilled her heart.
The debt was fake, but the indifference to her was not fake.
How could such family make her pay without resentment?
Deng Juan even wished to switch with Yang Xi, raised by a scavenging elder would be better than born in Deng family.
Thinking of Yang Xi’s temptation on the phone, Deng Juan sniffed, “Yang Xi told me to buy a house in Rongcheng, Wen Ying do you think I should buy or not?”
Home couldn’t return.
Deng Juan wanted a home of her own.
If it were before, she absolutely wouldn’t dare think of buying a house in Rongcheng, Yang Xi said with more money buy a big new house, with less money first buy a small old house, Deng Juan felt the previously unattainable house, she could try tiptoeing.
Of course, whether to buy a house, where to buy, Deng Juan would listen to Wen Ying’s opinion.
Wen Ying didn’t even think, resolutely answered: “Of course you should buy, if you don’t have enough money I’ll lend you!”
Wen Ying’s family bought house in 2004, compared to then, now Rongcheng’s house prices have risen a lot, but Deng Juan didn’t think of buying high-end community, even didn’t mind house new or old, carefully search, still can find sources Deng Juan can afford.
Wen Ying said to lend money, Deng Juan didn’t refuse outright.
Work gave Deng Juan confidence.
As long as “Shrimp King” doesn’t go bankrupt, not to mention whether continue expanding, just maintain current scale, Deng Juan not afraid of unemployment.
No unemployment, naturally can afford mortgage.
If really short one or two ten thousand need to borrow from Wen Ying, at most one year can repay.
Deng Juan’s drifting heart instantly had reliance, “Now don’t know if borrow from you or not, wait till I return to Rongcheng see houses then say.”
Wen Ying encouraged Deng Juan a few more sentences before hanging up.
At three in the afternoon, Deng Shangwei was to return, Wang Jun early washed clean his mud-covered feet nestling in the car waiting, Deng Shangwei confirmed the villagers who would follow to farm fish next year, Qin Jiao borrowing Deng Shangwei’s foundation persuaded two households to farm crayfish.
This unrelated to the farming plan Qin Jiao brought out, purely she looked too young.
Fortunately Qin Jiao herself not discouraged, conversely comforted Wen Ying: “Take it slow, I haven’t farmed crayfish either, if too many villagers respond to me, I definitely pressure big.”
Wen Ying mentioned Deng Juan preparing to buy house, everyone happy for Deng Juan, including the wilted from work Wang boss.
Wang Jun most liked advising people to buy house.
“Is a smart girl, she has no investment channels, having some money in hand instead remembered by others, change to real estate then rest assured.”
Wen Ying also thought so.
Not to mention house appreciating later, Deng Juan buying house would have to repay loan, money spent on house belonging to Deng Juan better than sending to Deng family.
Down payment not enough, Wen Ying can lend some, tens of thousands to Wen Ying not much.
Qin Jiao smiled: “No need you lend, company can advance to sister Deng Juan. She is company backbone, brother and I both afraid she job hops, always wanted her and company increase connection.”
Lending money can’t retain talent, emotional investment certainly can.
Qin Jiao how old, played this hand so skillfully, Wang Jun again envied his good friend.
Thinking, Wang Jun asked his own: “Youngest, the 400,000 in your hand thought how to use yet?”
Wang Shuang face full of vigilance: “I haven’t thought yet, but I don’t plan to listen your arrangement, you spare opening your mouth, we both keep some face.”
Wang Jun: …
Really want to kick this stinky kid off the car!
Wen Ying and Deng Shangwei returned home, dining hall and living room both set tables, relatives all arrived.
Two tables dishes at least half were Wen Dongrong’s craftsmanship.
Chen Ru this year completely didn’t cook.
In the past if Chen Ru like this, grandma Wen seeing probably heart somewhat uncomfortable, now grandma Wen learned smart, son doing some housework won’t tire to death, family harmony more important than anything.
Relatives sat together, summarize last year’s gains, willing to share then share, unwilling not forced.
Zhu Meiqun drank a cup of wine, cheeks flushed: “Last year our fruit shop earned this amount.”
Zhu Meiqun used fingers to gesture a number, except Wen Ying and Deng Shangwei, others present all very shocked.
