Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 117 Paying off Debts

"If that’s the case, then at least you have some conscience. If you really took someone else’s money to do business, then your character would be really terrible," Wang Jinzhi rounded off her earlier words, continuing, "Since you’ve sold Snowflake Cream, you should have some money. I’m here today to collect! When your dad broke his leg, Bai Yanjiao borrowed money from me, and she told you to pay it back."

An Hao knew her sudden fierce arrival meant no good, and it turned out to be true.

She did have a bit of money in hand, but not enough to repay the debt. She needed to use this money to flip more opportunities with Snowflake Cream, which would allow her to quickly recover her investment.

"I’m really grateful for your help during my family’s hard times. I do have a bit of money now, but it’s not enough to repay you. How about this, auntie, give me a bit more time, and I’ll pay you back in full next time," An Hao negotiated with her.

"No way!" Wang Jinzhi rejected her on the spot, "You must pay back today, however much you have. I’m in urgent need of the money."

"Auntie, in a couple of days I’ll..." ƒreewebɳovel.com

"What ’couple of days’? You have the money now, right? Stop talking nonsense and pay up right away!" Wang Jinzhi was clearly impatient, already planning to use her money to break even, as if!

If she didn’t give An Hao a harsh lesson, she might as well not carry the Wang surname!

She absolutely had to vent for her son today; with his slow wits, he’d been foolishly called a fool by An Hao for way too long.

Going to such lengths to break off the engagement had turned their family into the laughingstock of the whole village.

They all talked behind her back, saying her son was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!

"Village head’s wife, aren’t you pushing a bit too hard?" Li Da Nian couldn’t stand by and watch anymore, stepping forward to speak up for An Hao, "We are all villagers here, isn’t this a bit too much? The kid isn’t saying she won’t pay you back! It’s just a delay of a few days..."

"Li Da Nian, you stand there without back pain when you speak. Was An Hao in a hurry when she needed money? When she was in a hurry, didn’t I lend it to her? Now I’m in a hurry too, and I didn’t even ask her to repay it all, just as much as she has. Aren’t I being reasonable enough?" Wang Jinzhi retorted sharply, silencing Li Da Nian.

Everyone knew the situation at Wang Jinzhi’s place, having a brother outside doing business, making big money.

A genuine ten-thousand-yuan household indeed.

Even if Wang Jinzhi was in urgent need of money for some reason, she wouldn’t need to block An Hao’s door to demand it.

But this couldn’t be said aloud; doing so would escalate to a quarrel.

Li Da Nian, feeling choked, was inwardly irritated but kept quiet.

"Alright. I’ll get you the money now," An Hao knew arguing was useless; Wang Jinzhi was clearly looking to stir up trouble.

In the end, she owed the money and had no excuse not to repay when asked.

An Hao took out all the money she’d made from selling Snowflake Cream and counted it—eighty yuan in total.

The onlookers in the house stared at the money in An Hao’s hands, their eyes glazing over.

"Oh my goodness! An Hao, you managed to sell that much in just two days!" Zhang, the widow, looked greedily as if she was about to die of envy.

An Hao handed the money to Wang Jinzhi: "Auntie, here’s the money. As for the remaining twenty yuan, I might not be able to repay you for the time being. Our family doesn’t have a single penny left. We’ll have to delay that further."

Hearing An Hao say this, Wang Jinzhi grinned with satisfaction inside, determined not to give her the chance to recover financially.

Just die poor!

However, her face didn’t show it: "Okay, I’ll give you the time. But, you don’t owe twenty; you owe thirty yuan!"

Upon hearing this, An Hao frowned, "Our family doesn’t owe you one hundred and ten yuan, just one hundred. Even for usurious interest, this rate is too outrageous!"
