Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 384 Paying back debts is a matter of course

Yifei looked up at Zhanbo: "Human calculator, calculate how much money each of us will get?"

Without pausing, Zhanbo said, "The cash reward is 88,888 yuan, and 3601 pays 8,000 yuan in rent every month. The rent reduction for a year is 96,000 yuan."

"Utilities... Sister, how much do we pay for utilities each month?"

Yifei waved her hand: "Let's not count the water and electricity. I plan to save up all the water and electricity fee reductions from 3601 over the next year and use it for our get-togethers. Does anyone have any objections?"

"no."

Everyone shook their heads.

It must be said that Yifei, as the matriarch, has done a good job in terms of fairness.

The reduction of several hundred yuan in water and electricity fees each month, when divided equally among them, would only amount to a few dozen yuan more per month.

Even if Yifei hadn't suggested using the money for party expenses, no one would have minded.

Of course, they wouldn't object to spending extra money to treat everyone to a good meal.

Yifei nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, Zhanbo, you continue."

"Excluding water and electricity, we have earned 184,888 this time, which is 15,407.33 yuan per person, with a surplus of 4 cents."

Nanfeng laughed and said, "It's too troublesome to keep such round numbers. How about we each take 15,000, and the remaining 407.33 yuan can be used as public funds, like the water and electricity fee reductions, for everyone's gathering expenses?"

"No problem!"

Mika counted on her fingers, "If that's the case, then our public funds will have..."

Before she even started calculating, everyone was already chanting in Meijia's voice: "One times seven is seven, two times seven is forty-eight, March 8th is Women's Day, May 1st is Labor Day, June 1st is Children's Day..."

"Hate!"

Mika protested, "These are my words!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone laughed.

Immediately afterwards, Yifei started distributing the money, and Zhang Wei also showed off his amazing money-counting skills.

He casually picked up a stack of banknotes, neatly piled up, and with his thumb, he could accurately tell how many banknotes were in the stack by flipping them from top to bottom along the edge.

"Sure, Zhang Wei."

Xiao Xian immediately looked at Zhang Wei with new respect: "If you have such skills, why don't you go work at a bank?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei was speechless: "Teacher Zeng, you probably don't know that there's a machine in banks called a money counting machine."

What era are we living in? Who says you can get into a bank just by counting money fast?

Besides, he's only interested in counting his own money; why would he go to the bank to count other people's money?

Isn't he afraid of getting conjunctivitis?

Zeng Xiaoxian looked embarrassed upon hearing this, and he said awkwardly, "It's just a money counting machine, of course I know what it is."

Everyone scoffed, "Tch."

Yifei waved her hand: "Alright, since we have Zhang Wei as our human money counting machine, let him handle the distribution of the money."

"it is good."

Thanks to Zhang Wei's precise and rapid counting, everyone soon had 150 one-hundred-yuan bills in their hands.

If this 15,000 yuan was distributed to everyone via bank transfer, then it would just be a five-digit number.

But this thick stack of cash gives a completely different feeling.

Meijia even rubbed her smooth little face against the banknotes.

Nanfeng and Xiaoxian, both of whom are germaphobes, both pursed their lips upon seeing this.

Zhang Wei, adhering to the principle of not flaunting his wealth, stuffed the money into his inner breast pocket as soon as he received it, then closed his eyes and let out a groan of extreme pleasure.

"Ah~"

"Alas……"

Everyone was disgusted by Zhang Wei's lewd expression and voice.

Yifei reminded Xiaoxian, Zhanbo, and Wanyu, "I have already cashed out the rent and utilities reduction. You still need to pay the rent and utilities to me monthly for the next year."

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing."

"Good girl."

Yifei put away the remaining cash, then pointed to the last stack of 15,000 yuan on the table and said, "Now only Ziqiao's share is left. Who's going to give it to him?"

Meijia's eyes darted around, and her fair little hand reached out to touch Ziqiao's bonus.

"Leave this to me."

Snapped!

Yifei gently slapped away Meijia's guilty little hand: "Meijia, you don't need to trouble yourself with this."

If it were someone else's prize money, Yifei would still have great faith in Meijia's character. She, a chivalrous woman who values loyalty above all else, would never do something as disloyal as embezzling the prize money.

But if it were Ziqiao's bonus, Meijia would definitely not leave him even a penny.

According to her, she was the one who supported Lu Ziqiao when they were dating, and that no amount of money was too much for her to ask Lu Ziqiao for.

Since no one knows the specific details of these past events, it's really hard to say much about them.

However, Meijia shouldn't get involved in this prize money.

If the prize money is given to Youyou... I reckon Ziqiao will have to suffer a lot from his aunt if he wants to get his money back.

Considering his efforts in campaigning for votes, let's not torment him like this.

Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Guan Gu, you and Zi Qiao share a suite, so it will be more convenient for him to come to you to get the money."

"You can keep Ziqiao's bonus for now."

"it is good."

Guan Gu nodded in agreement.

He put Ziqiao's bonus in his pocket, pursed his lips, and said, "Speaking of which, Ziqiao still owes me three thousand yuan."

As if reminded by Guan Gu, Xiao Xian slapped his thigh and said, "He's owed me two thousand yuan for over three months and keeps saying he can't pay it back. Let's see what excuse he has this time!"

The living room suddenly became noisy when the topic of Ziqiao's debt came up.

He owes me a lot too.

"Yes, yes, me too."

"..."

After everyone discussed it, they realized that this guy had borrowed almost the entire apartment.

Why do I say almost?

Even if Ziqiao was very eloquent, he still couldn't borrow money from Zhang Wei.

Everyone calculated the total amount of Zi Qiao's debt, and it turned out to be exactly 15,000 yuan.

Now their eyes all turned strange.

Such a coincidence is truly captivating.

Wanyu asked softly, "Do you think Ziqiao will pay us back after he gets the prize money?"

"Oh……"

The crowd gave a disdainful sneer; no one even wanted to think about the answer to this question.

Are you expecting Ziqiao to repay the money voluntarily?

This is simply a dream!

Xiao Xian swallowed hard, rubbed his hands together excitedly, and said, "How about... we split this money?"

Everyone was very interested upon hearing this.

"This isn't a good idea..."

Yifei feigned difficulty, saying, "This is Ziqiao's bonus after all; we can't just distribute his personal assets so casually."

"What's wrong with that?"

Meijia's hand was already reaching into Guangu's pocket: "Paying back debts is a matter of course. We can't expect this deadbeat to pay back the money on his own initiative."

"Too."

Nanfeng raised an eyebrow: "When dealing with debtors who refuse to pay, don't the courts also freeze their assets and enforce repayment?"

Zhang Wei disagreed with Nanfeng's idea: "But we're not a court. Strictly speaking, our actions fall under..."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Yu Mo slightly raised her chin and looked at Zhang Wei: "He doesn't owe you any money, of course you can talk so easily."

"Zhang Wei, if you insist on following the proper procedures, you can first help Ziqiao pay back the 15,000 yuan he owes us, and then go to him to collect the debt."

Without hesitation, Zhang Wei said, "Then pretend I didn't say anything."

These days, the one who owes money is the boss, and the one who lends money is the grandson. Why should he, a perfectly normal person, go out of his way to be Lu Ziqiao's grandson?

"However, I think there's some truth to what Zhang Wei said."

Nanfeng thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, I think we should tell Ziqiao about this first and see if he intends to repay the loan."

He pulled out his phone with a mischievous grin: "I'll tell Ziqiao about this first. If he intends to pay back the money, then we'll just split the money between us, so he won't have to come looking for us one by one."

"If he has no intention of repaying the money... then let's split the money among ourselves, so we don't have to keep chasing him for the debt one by one."

"Great idea!"

"That's what we'll do!"

"I agree!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Just after Nanfeng sent the message to Ziqiao, they heard a mournful wail coming from downstairs.

"No!!!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Ziqiao came up in the elevator."

Nanfeng listened intently: "It seems he brought a friend with him. This person's breathing and footsteps sound very familiar."

He frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, I know who it is."

Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Nanfeng didn't keep them in suspense any longer.
