Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

He Xiuxiu was so eager to know the answer that she raised her voice several octaves.

"How did you end up owing Xiao a debt? What kind of debt?"

He Yingying naturally wouldn't talk about embarrassing things that affected her character.

Moreover, this kind of thing is illegal and against regulations. If it gets out, not only will you go to jail, but it may also implicate the Lu family.

"Well, I can't disclose that now."

When it comes to crucial moments, this foolish woman suddenly becomes shrewd again.

He Yingying's tight-lipped and tight-lipped manner infuriated He Xiuxiu. She was so angry that her nose was practically steaming.

His tone became increasingly impatient.

"How much money do you owe her? If it's not too much, let's all think of a way to help you!"

He Yingying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

He immediately grabbed He Xiuxiu's hand, shaking and swaying it, his face full of innocent dependence.

"Really? Sister He, you're willing to help me? You're so kind. I'm so touched. You're like a real sister to me."

"Sis, could you lend me some money?"

He Xiuxiu was furious.

I should have known better than to say that. She was just being polite, and this idiot actually took it seriously.

I've been trying to curry favor with her for five or six days, but I haven't gotten any useful information and I'm even losing money on her.

Now that the word has been spoken, and there are other military families here, we have no choice but to lend them money.

"How much do you need to borrow?"

He Yingying considered it for a moment and realized that given He Xiuxiu's family background, she definitely wouldn't be willing to lend too much.

But she was, after all, the wife of a deputy regimental commander, so she should have some savings.

"How about I lend you three thousand? ... If it's too much trouble for you, two thousand will do too."

Two thousand yuan? That's no small amount; it's equivalent to one or two years' worth of Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang's allowance.

Upon hearing this, Deng Meifang and the other two military wives immediately moved their stools away from He Yingying, fearing that she might ask for money.

Although He Yingying wasn't as clever as Xiao Re, she had a very sweet tongue. Plus, she used to work at a supply and marketing cooperative, so she was very good at praising and complimenting people, which made them very happy.

She immediately struck while the iron was hot, showering him with sweet words as if they were free.

"Sister, don't worry. Once Brother Zheng divorces that troublemaker, I'll be the regimental commander's wife. I'll definitely repay you in the future."

"I will remember your kindness and repay it many times over!"

"Sister, you're the kindest to me in the whole compound. You're the kindest, the most generous, and the most helpful."

He Yingying's words were sincere and heartfelt, every sentence a flattering compliment, putting He Xiuxiu in a difficult position, leaving her with no choice but to lend the money.

He Xiuxiu's face turned ashen, and she hesitated, unwilling to give in.

How much do you owe her?

"Not much, not much, I'll pay it off soon."

He Yingying's words were so convincing, just like selling goods at a supply and marketing cooperative.

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive at all. You'll definitely make a profit if you buy it. It's such a good product."

In reality, she owed Xiao 300,000 yuan, and even after paying back part of it, she still owed more than 240,000 yuan. In short, it was a huge hole that she couldn't repay in a short time, so she borrowed whatever she could.

"How much is 'not much'?"

He Yingying held up two fingers, making a three.

He Xiuxiu thought it was three thousand, Deng Yumei guessed it might be thirty thousand, but no one expected it to be three hundred thousand.

"Three thousand?"

He Yingying nodded haphazardly.

In short, she can't let anyone know how much she owes, otherwise, she won't be able to borrow even two cents, let alone two thousand.

In order to get He Xiuxiu to hand over the money readily.

He Yingying used one last trick, a common sales tactic – flattery to kill!

"Sister Xiuxiu, please lend it to me. Think about it, who in the entire military compound doesn't hate Xiao Re? If Brother Zheng gets divorced from that woman because of your help, then you'll be a heroine of the entire military compound."

He Xiuxiu thought about it and realized it was true.

If that's the case, her prestige among military wives will definitely soar, and everyone will have to look up to her.

Furthermore, Xiao Re is too clever and powerful; she can't defeat her.

With such a shrewd and capable assistant, Lu Yanzheng's career will definitely reach new heights.

The men in their family are even more out of reach.

If Lu Yanzheng divorces his wife and marries He Yingying, that foolish woman, then he'll be much easier to deal with.

After figuring this out, He Xiuxiu made a painful decision to go into the inner room, and from the drawer under the bed, she gritted her teeth and took out her savings that she had accumulated over the years, and stuffed it all into He Yingying's hands.

"Sister He, this is all my worldly possessions. You...you must return it to me as soon as possible!"

He Yingying quickly accepted the money with both hands, clutching it tightly, and nodded repeatedly with excitement.

"Definitely, definitely. Don't worry, sister. Let Sister Deng be my witness. As soon as Brother Zheng divorces that troublemaker, I'll return him to you immediately."

After receiving the money, He Yingying immediately got up to say goodbye.

"Thank you, Sister Xiuxiu. It's getting late, so I won't keep you from making lunch for Deputy Commander Zhang. I'll go back and cook some noodles to tide me over."

"I've drunk so much tea, I'm actually a little hungry!"

He Xiuxiu stared at the four or five empty plates of fruit and snacks on the table, trembling all over, her face turning ashen, her fingernails digging into her flesh.

What do you mean by "drinking a bellyful of tea"? It sounds like we were poorly treated. These are snacks that the kids usually wouldn't even eat. Did they all end up in the dog's stomach?

As soon as He Yingying left, the other military wives also got up to say goodbye.

Deng Yumei looked at the figure walking briskly ahead and couldn't help but smile to herself.

If the deputy regimental commander's wife tries to find fault with him, she'll likely lose both her wife and her army.

Although He Yingying wasn't as clever as Xiao Re, she wasn't stupid either.

Although she kept talking nonstop, she didn't reveal a single word about anything related to her bottom line or Lu Yanzheng's future.

Of course, if she were truly that ignorant, Lu Yanzheng wouldn't have brought her back.

Upon arriving home, He Yingying immediately threw the money in Xiao Re's face.

"Pay back the money! Put it on the tab!"

Her arrogant demeanor was like that of a victorious female general returning from a battle, extremely proud and smug.

Xiao counted the money; it was a full two thousand yuan. That was no small sum.

This person's romantic obsession has long been thoroughly exposed.

Besides going out to visit neighbors and chat every day, she didn't do anything else. Where did she get so much money?

Could it be stolen?

That won't do!

Xiao Re frowned, immediately becoming alert, and asked her seriously.

"Where did the money come from?"

He Yingying tossed her head back proudly and turned her face away. "None of your business. Just remember that."

Xiao Re would definitely intervene. She wouldn't accept money from dubious sources.

She pushed the money back without any hesitation.

"I won't remember!"

"I wouldn't dare accept money that's been stolen, robbed, or cheated."

He Yingying instantly bristled, her cheeks flushed red with anger, and she glared at Xiao Re with a defiant expression.

"What do you mean stolen or robbed? I borrowed it with my own abilities."

"I am gentle and kind, sweet-talking and sensible, and I am well-liked. All the women in the residential compound like me."

"Unlike some people, who are lonely and can't make a single friend."

Xiao Re sneered, his heart filled with disdain.

What kind of fake friend is she? She doesn't care. We'll see who's a friend and who's a liar when things fall out.

These days, anyone who's willing to lend two thousand yuan to someone they've only known for a few days is either a complete idiot or has ulterior motives.

With He Yingying's IQ, even a fool would know it's the latter.

They either want to borrow Lu Yanzheng's power, or they want to seize Lu Yanzheng's power.

He Yingying is so stubborn; she really thinks that just because she's popular, she can get benefits just by talking.

"Tell me, who lent it to you?"

"Why ask so many questions?" He Yingying began to get impatient.

"I'm telling you, don't be envious or jealous that I have good friends."

Xiao Re wasn't envious at all; she just wanted to know where the money came from.

"Do I need to register? In short, I don't accept money that isn't clean."

When asked the question, He Yingying had no choice but to snort and reluctantly utter a sentence.

"It was lent to me by Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang's wife."
