She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 14 The IOU is in hand
"Of course I'm willing to give it to you."

Besides, they are just material possessions.

If your son gets that job, it'll be a lifelong commitment.

In one sentence, he touched the other person's heart.

Aunt Chen was overjoyed, but also felt a little regretful.

"Shuyin, you are such a good child."

"Auntie, I won't say anything more. After you marry into the family, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask!"

"Okay, thank you."

The two of them were happy together, which meant they had agreed to the terms.

"Ji Shuyin, where have you been? Quickly pour me a glass of water, Ji Shuyin?"

Inside the room, Gu Yuncheng's shouts could be heard.

She shrugged helplessly.

"Aunt Chen, I have to go back now."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll bring the money over to you a little later."

"no problem."

The deal was struck, and both of them were overjoyed.

“Ji Shuyin…”

Inside the house, there's another big problem that needs to be solved!

"What's all the noise about? Are you too impatient to be reincarnated?"

She kicked open the door, hugged her shoulders, and leaned against the doorframe.

It's languid, beautiful, and has a touch of nonchalance.

Gu Yuncheng was a little angry. This kind of person didn't know how to care for others at all.

If we get married, wouldn't that be driving people crazy?

"Where have you been? Why have you been taking so long?"
"You've beaten me up like this, quickly get me a glass of water."

Oh my, he's even giving orders now, he's really something.

"Tch, he brought it on himself, serves him right!"

Even though she said that, she didn't really ignore it, since she still had to stay at the Gu family's house for the next few days.

To act rashly and ruin the entire plan is absolutely the most foolish thing to do.

"Pfft, are you trying to scald me to death?"

Hey, he's getting cocky now.

"Drink it or don't, I advise you not to push your luck. Who wants to bother with you!"

After saying that, Ji Shuyin rolled her eyes and left.

Right now, we need to find that star pendant first; everything else is secondary.

Gu Qingjia's room was unlocked, and many of the things inside belonged to her.

Besides those that were openly demanded, there were also those that had been "borrowed" in various ways before.

However, she didn't pay any attention to it. She searched everywhere, even turning over her secret stash of money, but she still couldn't find the key.

I'm so angry! Does this mean she took the necklace with her?

That must be the case. If that's the case, then we can only wait until the mother and daughter come back.

In her dream, she transferred her job and was then notified by the community to go to the countryside.

Originally, she was thinking of having Gu's parents come back to support her.

Therefore, she remembered it very clearly; it should have been about two weeks later.

Including the two days I've been back, it's been about twelve or thirteen days.

In that case, let's wait.

"Ji Shuyin, Ji Shuyin, I'm hungry, make me something to eat."

The annoying sound started again, and she was furious.

Letting him stay at home was a mistake.

"Alright, stop arguing."

I can't cook either, so just wait here while I go call your sweetheart Tang Weiyu over.

She's very skillful; she'll definitely take good care of you.

Gu Yuncheng was also somewhat tempted upon hearing this.

However, I really didn't want Weiyu to see me in this disheveled state, especially since I was injured there; it was too embarrassing.

"No, Weiyu is very busy during the day."

"If you can't cook, you can go out and buy food. The state-run restaurants aren't going to close down."

What, he's trying to scam her out of money again? That won't work. "Okay, I can go out and buy it. Bring the money, and the tickets too."

As soon as she reached out, the other person's face turned pale.

"Money, money, money, why do you need money to buy a meal?"

I've noticed you've really changed; you're practically obsessed with money.

"Stop talking nonsense, pay if you want to eat, and we'll give you the tickets, not a penny less."

"If you hadn't taken the bicycle away without a word yesterday, would I have been unable to come back last night?"
Now she has the nerve to ask me for money? What kind of fiancée would act like that?

Oh dear, it's her fault for saying that.

"Tch, you stopped going to work before I bought you a bicycle?"

"I'm speechless that someone like you, a nobody on the fringes of society, can come up with such flimsy excuses."

"you……"

To be honest, Ji Shuyin was a little annoyed, so she interrupted him directly.

"Stop talking nonsense, give it to me or not, or you're leaving!"

He really wanted to refuse, but his stomach was already rumbling in protest.

"Fine, I'll give it to you, okay?"

Inside Gu Yuncheng's bedside table was a tin box that used to hold White Rabbit milk candies.

After opening it, there was still some money inside, but not much. There were also some receipts, all of them were standard.

"Take only what you need, why are you counting it?"

Ji Shuyin wouldn't listen to him, no matter how anxious he was.

"You're really poor. There's a total of fifty-three yuan and sixty cents in here. I'll use it to buy you some food. These receipts will also count."

However, you still owe me a hundred yuan, haven't you forgotten?

When Gu Yuncheng heard that they were going to take all of his belongings back, he became a little anxious.

"Put that down! That's mine!"

He wanted to take it back, but his strength wouldn't allow it!

"Come on, if you fall off the bed again, I won't have the strength to carry you back."

"You're so angry, I'm worried you might renege on your debt. How about this, give me an IOU, then we can both feel at ease."

Gu Yuncheng was so angry that he kept pounding the bed; he really wanted to go over and slap the other person.

On second thought, writing an IOU wouldn't be a big deal.

Once the two of them get married, won't this thing just be a piece of waste paper?

As for that money and tickets, they will become leverage to control her in the future, so I won't lose out.

"Fine, I'll write it then. You're really driving me crazy."

Say whatever you want, as long as the goal is achieved.

Three minutes later, Ji Shuyin looked at the freshly printed IOU and was in a great mood.

That last bright red fingerprint was definitely his guarantee.

"Now, can we go out to buy food?"

"Of course, just wait at home."

She was in a good mood and went out happily.

However, the destination was not a state-run hotel.

She's not stupid, why should she listen to Gu Yuncheng?
Tang Weiyu was quite surprised when she met her.

"Shuyin, what brings you here?"

"Two things. First, I'm here to get my grain ration book."

Upon hearing her say this, the other person also seemed quite nervous.

I quickly pulled her aside; she looked completely irrational.

"Keep your voice down. I can give you our family's food ration book, but you can't let anyone else know, especially my parents."

Otherwise, I'm finished.

"no problem."

She also dislikes trouble and unnecessary things.

Tang Weiyu looked at it from left to right for a long time before reluctantly handing over the notebook from her pocket.

"What's the other thing? Is it about work?"

"You're overthinking it. Your Gu Yuncheng is injured, and he wants you to take care of him."

I need to go to his workplace to ask for leave for him, so you'd better hurry.

Oh, by the way, he wants to eat at a state-run restaurant. Could you buy some on your way?
