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

Chapter 9 Give me back what I gave you

When she couldn't win an argument, she got angry and ashamed. Choosing him as her engagement partner was definitely the worst thing her father ever did in his life.

However, I haven't gotten all my things back yet, so how can I leave right away?

"Wishful thinking. Your father brought me here. If he wants to kick me out, let him come and talk to me in person."

Gu Yuncheng glared at her, pointing a finger at her.

"This is my home, so naturally I have the right to make the decisions."

"Get out of here right now, I never want to see you again."

Although there was an element of scare tactics in those words, Gu Yuncheng genuinely wanted to teach her a lesson.

Otherwise, once the two of them get married, Ji Shuyin's temper will be so bad that she'll be riding on his neck and pooping on him!

"Oh, so you mean you're in charge of the Gu family now?"

"It's like they've painted eyebrows and eyes on their butt, what a huge face!"

The purpose of today's meal was to ease tensions, which is why we had this meal.

But what if Ji Shuyin regrets it after the two of them have fallen out like this?
The transfer procedures for the supply and marketing cooperative haven't been completed yet, so she dares not gamble.

Although I've lost all my savings, I can't let things continue like this.

Anyway, Gu Yuncheng has always been on my side. Later, I can find a few excuses to get the money back.

"Hey, you two calm down."

It's nothing serious, don't get upset and ruin your health.

As Tang Weiyu spoke, she went over and tugged at Gu Yuncheng's sleeve.

Then, she went over to help Ji Shuyin.

Ji Shuyin snorted coldly, clearly not buying it.

If it weren't for her, this whole situation wouldn't have happened.

It seems we need to drain them both dry before she leaves.

After some shoving and thumping, they finally all sat down.

Tang Weiyu went over to them attentively and poured them water.

"From now on, we'll all be family, so let's not hurt our relationship."

"Just to give me some face today, let's have a toast with tea instead of wine, and that'll be the end of it, okay?"

Compared to her, she seemed excessively understanding, and Gu Yuncheng naturally favored her immensely.

"Hmph, since Wei Yu has said so, I'll give you another chance."

Give me back my things, and you can stay at my house.

Selfish men, in the end, are still unwilling to part with their money.

That was a symbol of his status, so it's understandable that he wouldn't want to return it to her.

"No way, I told you, we'll wait for Uncle Gu to come back."

If he also thinks I should leave, then I won't say another word.

As for you, since you don't value those things, don't do anything that lowers your status.

Yes, asking for it back after returning it is a degrading act.

"Hmph, with your temper, who would want to marry you!"
In the future, I'll still have to support you with my salary.

"Aren't you afraid I won't hand over my salary to you if you're so calculating?"

Threat, an open and blatant threat.

"There's no need for that. I wouldn't dare entrust my life to a man who keeps telling me to get lost."

Besides, it seems like everything you're eating and using now is brought over by me, right?

I even brought 100 catties each of rice and flour from the Ji family!
Now, it seems like it's almost at its bottom.

This is also an indisputable fact.

There was more food than they could have finished, but his mother and younger sister went to their maternal grandmother's house.

The rice and flour from the Ji family are of a much higher quality, not even in the same league as those from the grain depot.

The rest were taken by the two of them to save face.

Seeing that he was silent, Ji Shuyin pressed her advantage.

“I’ve only been at your house for less than a month, how could I have eaten so much?”

Did you secretly take it and sell it to make extra money?

A single question instantly changed the nature of the situation.

Even Tang Weiyu, who was usually a peacemaker, changed her expression.

"Shuyin, you can't say things like that. Yuncheng is the propaganda officer at the machinery factory, and he's responsible for ideological education. How could he do something that violates organizational discipline!"

You mustn't go around saying things like that, needlessly ruining his future."

It's good that you know fear.

Ji Shuyin feigned resentment, perfectly capturing her arrogant demeanor.

He sat in a chair, arms crossed over his shoulders, legs crossed.

"Hmph, I don't care anyway."

Since you have eaten my food, you should return it to me.

Otherwise, I'll go to your workplace and talk to your boss, and ask him to make the decision for me.

"What? Ji Shuyin, are you crazy?"

Gu Yuncheng knew she had a bad temper, but surely she wouldn't do something so shameless?
"Paying back debts is a matter of course."

Tang Weiyu is even paying me back what she borrowed before. You're a man, yet you're less capable than a woman?"

For people who care a lot about their image, provoking them a little is the most effective way.

Besides, he also needs to maintain a superior image in front of his ambiguous romantic interest!

Sure enough, Gu Yuncheng gritted his teeth and agreed immediately.

"Fine, if you insist on doing it this way, don't blame me for being ruthless in the future."

Next month, when I receive my grain rations, I'll give them to you. Are you satisfied now?

Of course I'm not satisfied! Who knows what will happen next month!

"In that case, give me your grain ration book and I'll go get it myself."

Now, everyone with an urban household registration can receive a monthly grain ration.

This grain coupon booklet is the proof of receipt.

They belong to the category of those who value lineage over personal connections.

Gu Yuncheng was once again shocked; she actually wanted his family's grain ration book.

"Why bother with all this trouble? You'll just bring it back to the Gu family anyway. Enough with the trouble you've caused."

Yes, in his eyes, it was a complete waste of time.

"Hmph, I don't care, I just want the grain ration book."

However, one month is not enough. The rice and flour together weigh two hundred jin (100 kg), so you'll have to pay me back over several months.

And then there were all those meat and vegetables I bought before. Your mom wanted to eat pig's trotters from the state-run restaurant every three days, plus your little sister's braised pork and your nephew's deep-fried fish.

"They want both money and tickets; it adds up to quite a bit."

Thinking about it this way, I really did lose out.

The money her parents left her was enough for her to live comfortably for several years.

In such a short time, the Gu family has ruined it almost completely.

Besides, what's the point if you don't even get a friendly reception?

"Why are you saying these things? As my fiancée, it is only natural for me to be filial to my parents-in-law and care for the younger generation."

"Hehe, then being your fiancée is really unlucky."

Stop talking nonsense. You can buy meat and vegetables with these things and give them back to me.

Or, I'll just give you a discount, making it 100 yuan. Don't even think about haggling.

How could the Gu family have so many tickets? They definitely couldn't afford them, otherwise they wouldn't have plundered her like that.

"Fine, fine, do you really have to be so clear about things with me?"

Gu Yuncheng was furious. Now, he really disliked Ji Shuyin.

"Yes, it's better to clarify premarital property."

So that some people won't feel that I took advantage of them.

Ji Shuyin was also in a "justified" state, humming and hawing.

"It's not that serious. You two are getting married soon, there's no need for that."

"Who said that?"

Turning her gaze to Tang Weiyu, she suddenly had a good idea, and her tone softened considerably.

“Wei Yu, Gu Yuncheng has taken good care of you all these years.”

He won't have enough food to pay me back next month. Why don't you take out your share and help him out?
