Chapter 456: Borrowed Money From Luo Chen

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ma Yan had just returned home when she saw an unfamiliar face appear in her house.

Who was this?

Could it be that Yun Gang’s family had taken advantage of their absence and rented out the house?

Yun Qiao was an honest child who could not handle things. He definitely could not deal with Liu Fang, this annoying shrew.

After all, Yun Gang’s family had previously planned to rent Yun Shan’s family’s house, so they could be considered to have a criminal record.

“Who are you? Why are you here?”

Ma Yan’s tone and attitude were a little bad. If it were not for the gentle-looking girl in front of her, she would have even gone up to tear her apart.

Luo Chen raised her head to look at Ma Yan. Before she could answer, a figure blocked in front of her.

Yun Qiao heard Ma Yan’s voice when he was packing in the house. However, he felt that Ma Yan was in the city accompanying her brother to see the doctor, so perhaps he was hearing things.

When he remembered that Luo Chen was still outside the house, he looked out the window of the second room. It was indeed Ma Yan’s figure.

He hurriedly ran out, afraid that Ma Yan would misunderstand.

“Mom, this is the chief of staff of our army. She came here to greet us returning soldiers.”

The title ‘chief of staff’ pulled the distance between the two of them apart.

Luo Chen’s face showed a trace of disbelief and sadness.

Ma Yan was a shrewd person. From the little girl’s eyes, she immediately saw some clues. How was this the chief of staff coming to visit returning soldiers? This was clearly a little girl who had traveled thousands of miles to look for her crush!

However, she still had to put in a lot of effort to save face.

“Oh, so it’s the chief of staff! Hello, hello. Look at Yun Qiao, he’s not sensible. How could he let you do such a dirty and tiring job? Quickly put down the hoe and go into the house to rest!”

Ma Yan immediately pretended to be very affectionate.

Although she had not studied much, she knew that the chief of staff’s position was not low in the military. Moreover, this chief of staff was very young. She was a girl. She must have relied on the ability of her family to become the chief of staff at such a young age.

Her son was only a normal soldier now. To be able to use his face to climb up to a young chief of staff was considered to have helped their entire family gain face!

Ma Yan brought Luo Chen into the house and exchanged a few simple greetings. However, every word was about how hardworking and outstanding Yun Qiao had been since she was a child.

Yun Qiao also let them be. He busied himself at the door, but still pricked up his ears to listen to what they were talking about in the house.

As she spoke, Ma Yan’s tone changed.

“Child, as you know, our eldest son returned home this time to help us, the old couple. Our youngest son is suffering from a very serious illness and is currently being treated in the city.”

Ma Yan started to play the victim first.

“Then what illness does he have? Is it very serious?”

Luo Chen was a girl who grew up in a big city. She had always thought that all rural people were as honest as they were written in the textbooks, so she had never suspected that Ma Yan’s words had ulterior motives.

“It’s a kind of mental illness. I, a rural woman, also don’t understand. It’s just that the expenses in this city are too big. The little money that Yun Qiao brought back was quickly used up. My main purpose of coming home this time is to pick up two sets of summer clothes and also borrow some money from the villagers.”

Ma Yan said as she wiped away her tears.

“Child, your salary as chief of staff should be very high, right? Can you lend me some money? When the time comes, I will ask Yun Qiao to return the money to you.”

Ma Yan finally revealed her true purpose.

“Mom, the money I came back to borrow this time is all borrowed from the chief of staff’s father. You don’t need to borrow money from her anymore. I’ll think of a way to solve the lack of money.” Yun Qiao heard the words ‘borrow money’, and he hurriedly ran into the house to stop her.

Yun Qiao did not want to embarrass himself in front of Luo Chen.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s a big deal to be hospitalized. I didn’t bring too much money this time. It’s only 30 yuan. Aunty, if you don’t mind, you can take it to deal with the emergency first!”

Luo Chen took out a pile of crumpled notes and a few coins from his pocket.

“I don’t mind, I don’t mind. This really solved my urgent problem. Thank you, child.”

Ma Yan snatched the money and stuffed it into her pocket.

Yun Qiao shook his head helplessly.

“When I return to the army and receive my salary, I will definitely return this 30 yuan to you!”

This was a kind of promise!
