Chapter 3

Shu Wan’s mind automatically reviewed the memories of Shu Fangfang.

Shu Fangfang was the original owner’s eldest sister. He had always liked to follow her around since he was a child. After arriving at the compound, Shu Fangfang was the leader and he listened to her in everything.

Whenever Shu Fangfang complained about being short of money, the original owner would take the initiative to give her money. If Shu Fangfang disliked someone, the original owner would pick a fight with that person.

From then on, the bad reputation of the original owner’s compound being a public nuisance and being hated by everyone spread.

The reason why the original owner got involved with Du Wendong was also related to Shu Fangfang.

Du Wendong was Shu Fangfang’s junior high school classmate. They met again by chance, and since then he has been pestering Shu Fangfang to borrow money.

After borrowing several times, Shu Fangfang became unhappy. I thought of a way and asked the original owner to pay the money and lend it to Du Wendong.

This loan was never returned. Du Wendong became attached to the original owner and kept asking her for money. Shu Fangfang seemed to have forgotten about it and never mentioned it again.

The original owner didn’t dare to ask Shu Fangfang for money, so the money had always been paid by the original owner.

Perhaps it was because of the increasing contact, coupled with Du Wendong’s sweet talk and good way of dealing with people, that the original owner occasionally confided her feelings to Du Wendong, and after a few interactions, the two of them fell in love.

The original owner was even more aggressive in taking money, and later became addicted to gambling. After being reported by the masses, the army carried out a forced divorce.

After the divorce, the original owner and Du Wendong went along with each other and did a series of bad things. In the end, she was caught by Huo Zhengye himself and sent to prison to work on a sewing machine.

…

After recalling the plot, Shu Wan heaved a long sigh of relief, and was glad that she had traveled into the book at an early time. At this time, the original owner and Du Wendong only had a pure relationship of borrowing money.

Looking at Shu Fangfang who came to question her, Shu Wan was quite curious. What is the reason that makes Shu Fangfang, a stingy and selfish person, willing to borrow money again and again?

Shu Wan didn’t believe it if she just said it was because they were classmates.

She didn’t let Shu Fangfang in, and the two of them talked at the door.

Shu Wan said: “Sister, I have no money.”

Shu Fangfang’s voice became sharp, “How can you have no money?”

“Didn’t I ask you to borrow some money? And Huo Zhengye just came back from a mission, so he should have a lot of bonus. Hurry up and say a few good words to get the money.”

When Shu Fangfang said the following words, she deliberately lowered her voice and spoke close to Shu Wan’s ear.

Hearing this, Shu Wan looked incredulous and raised her voice unconsciously.

“Sister, what do you mean? He risked his life to get that money. How can I have any idea about it?”

“I can promise you anything, but not this.” He said righteously.

Shu Wan did not lower her voice. The two of them stood at the door again, attracting several people to stop and eat melons, including the neighbors.

Next-door neighbor Yu Chunyan said with relief: “Shu Wan knows how to care for her man. The young couple should understand each other.”

“My sister-in-law is right, so I can’t ask for that money anymore.” Shu Wan nodded.

Yu Chunyan was a little surprised. Shu Wan had always been arrogant and looked down on them. Normally, she would not even talk to them, let alone reply. But today, she not only became polite, but also called her sister-in-law.

Shu Wan turned to Shu Fangfang and said, “Sister, can I give it to you when I get my living allowance next month?”

Shu Fangfang’s facial features distorted for a moment.

Is this silly girl really stupid or is she just pretending? What will others think of her if she says this out loud?

Shu Fangfang stamped her feet and argued anxiously, “Shu Wan, I am concerned about you. Tell me the truth, Huo Zhengye didn’t give you money, otherwise how could you borrow money from all over the compound?”

Shu Wan looked at Shu Fangfang who kept winking at her, and immediately understood.

This means that she needs to cooperate in saying bad things about Huo Zhengye.

Not to mention the monthly living expenses, Shu Wan would not do anything to discredit Huo Zhengye just because he was wearing a military uniform. Moreover, Huo Zhengye will become very powerful in the future, and Shu Wan doesn’t want to offend him.

Shu Wan tilted her head and said in confusion: “Big sister, have you forgotten? Didn’t I give you all the money that Huo Zhengye gave me?”

Shu Fangfang’s face changed, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Shu Wan showed a trace of grievance at that moment, and pointed at Shu Fangfang’s feet and said, “I didn’t say anything wrong. As soon as Huo Zhengye gave me the money, I gave it to you. Look, the new white shoes on your feet were bought by me, as well as the hair oil, vanishing cream, and stick oil. It cost more than ten yuan in total.”

“These little white shoes cost five or six yuan a pair. I can’t even bear to buy them myself. Big sister, are they comfortable to wear?”

The envy in Shu Wan’s tone was clearly heard by everyone around her, and they couldn’t help but sigh that Shu Wan was so good to Shu Fangfang, giving her so many good things.

Everyone remembered that Shu Wan often went to Shu Fangfang’s house and gave her countless gifts. They originally thought that Shu Fangfang was trying to educate her sister in order to educate everyone, but it turned out that she was just giving gifts.

The reason for this perception is that Shu Fangfang always acts like a disappointed person in front of them. Everyone’s anger towards Shu Fangfang was gone, and instead they felt that this person was easy to get along with and not partial to her own sister.

It can be said that Shu Fangfang’s good reputation in the compound was enhanced by Shu Wan.

Everyone looked at Shu Fangfang with meaningful eyes.

Shu Fangfang panicked and immediately retorted, “You gave these to me yourself. I didn’t ask you to buy them.”

Shu Wan nodded and put on a bitter look.

“Yes, you didn’t say it, but you always complain about your brother-in-law being poor! You say that you can’t afford clothes and shoes with your monthly salary, and you cry that you can’t afford to feed your children and that you have to suffer with your useless mother!”

Everyone was silent. They looked at Shu Fangfang, who was glamorous, sophisticated and fashionable, and then looked at Shu Wan’s old clothes, which had been patched up for three years. It seemed that Shu Wan had not worn a single new piece of clothing since she entered the compound.

After the shock, someone murmured.

“I remember Shu Fangfang also had a pair of small leather shoes, which cost several dozen yuan. Yu Chengcai is in logistics, and he only makes 40 yuan a month at most. How can he afford them?”

“That’s nothing. Look, she’s wearing Dacron, and she has a bicycle. It’s one hundred and seventy. My God, my family has to save up for years to buy it!”

Shu Fangfang is considered one of the better-off people in the compound, and usually people just envy her and don’t think too much about it.

After Shu Wan mentioned this, everyone suddenly realized that Shu Fangfang’s daily expenses were not enough to be covered by Chengcai’s salary alone.

So how much subsidy did Shu Wan give? I never realized that Shu Fangfang was a person who liked to take advantage of others!

Unconsciously, everyone’s impression of Shu Fangfang was labeled as someone who loves to take advantage, while the impression of Shu Wan did not change much. After all, it is a fact that she owes money and does not pay it back, which is not a good thing.

However, everyone used to think that Shu Wan had the money and was deliberately trying to make people uncomfortable, but now they know that she simply couldn’t pay it back and all the money was used to subsidize Shu Fangfang.

It turns out that Shu Fangfang’s living standard is also due to their contribution.

For a moment, everyone looked at Shu Fangfang with resentment in their eyes.

Facing everyone’s gaze, Shu Fangfang felt her scalp tingling.

She didn’t want the money anymore and just wanted to leave here quickly, but as soon as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed.

Shu Fangfang turned around and met Shu Wan’s face. She grinned and asked, “Sister, when will you pay me back the money I advanced for you?”
