Chapter 226: Chapter 226 A Useful Talent

Zhang Ying stared blankly at her, and after noticing the sincerity on Lin Xiaohong’s face, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

“It wasn’t you who did wrong.”

Zhang Ying went to help Lin Xiaohong, but the latter kept bowing and refused to straighten up.

“These days I’ve been seeing him leaving early and coming back late, thinking he was diligently working for Brother Yue, if I had known he was such a beast…”

Lin Xiaohong was overwhelmed with shame and the people from the Yue Family couldn’t help but fall silent.

Both are couples, but why is there such a big gap in being a decent human being?

Yue Jiandong said in a deep voice, “This isn’t your fault, you can go back.”

Lin Xiaohong sighed and finally stood up straight.

“Brother Yue, thank you for your magnanimity. This is some leftover money from our house, and I know it may not be enough to compensate for your loss, but I will slowly pay it back in the future.”

As she spoke, she took a small cloth bundle out of her sleeve.

When opened, it contained coins of various values, including some as small as a few cents, which looked like everything that could be scraped together from the house.

Zhang Ying had already learned from Yue Jiandong that all the money Yu Guoqiang had embezzled was spent on women from other villages, and Lin Xiaohong probably hadn’t seen a penny of it.

Yet at this time, she was thinking of paying back the Yue Family.

Zhang Ying felt a pang in her nose, “Sister Lin, don’t do this, you shouldn’t be the one compensating.”

Lin Xiaohong insisted, “In the end, it is my husband who wronged the Yue Family…”

Lin Chunju watched Lin Xiaohong, exchanging a glance with Yue Jiandong.

After all, the mother and son were connected in thought, naturally turning to the same idea.

Yue Jiandong looked at Lin Xiaohong, “Do you truly want to compensate?”

Lin Xiaohong nodded firmly, “I can write an IOU for the remaining amount and will definitely pay it off in the future.”

Zhang Ying anxiously looked at her husband, aware of Lin Xiaohong’s situation, which was only slightly better than that of the Yue Family’s past circumstances.

Now with Yu Guoqiang arrested, how could Lin Xiaohong, a woman alone, ever repay the money!

But Yue Jiandong, as if he hadn’t seen his wife’s reproachful look, continued, “If that’s really what you want, you might as well take Yu Guoqiang’s place and manage the accounts for me.”

Lin Xiaohong’s parents also counted as somewhat educated.

Lin Xiaohong, having grown up around her family, must be literate, and if her looks hadn’t limited her, given her qualifications, she wouldn’t have needed to marry through a matchmaking arrangement.

Upon hearing Yue Jiandong’s words, Lin Xiaohong became abruptly emotional.

Her face was burning hot, but with her dark skin, it was hardly noticeable at night.

“Can I, can I do it?”

“Why not?” Yue Jiandong countered, “Can’t you read and do accounts?”

“I can! I can!”

“Would you do the same thing as your husband?”

Lin Xiaohong shook her head earnestly, swearing, “If I ever learn from him, may I be struck by lightning and not die a good death.”

The people of Daye Village all knew about the oddity of the Yue Family. Swearing in front of others might not matter much, but one had to be very careful when speaking to the Yue Family.

Lin Xiaohong’s words were enough to show her determination.

Yue Qingqing watched Lin Xiaohong, finding the aura about her quite interesting.

This was a smart woman, and also strong enough to stand firm.

Most importantly, Lin Xiaohong had an inconspicuous aura of wealth about her, which Yue Qingqing had noticed since their first meeting.

But as for why she had suffered through hard times for so many years, it was probably because Yu Guoqiang’s fate had affected hers.

No wonder the elders always said one must choose carefully when marrying.

People always talk about a wife being unlucky, but some women are even burdened by their own husbands’ fortunes.

Lin Chunju, who was perceptive, had also noticed this.

After Lin Xiaohong left, she discussed it with her family, smiling.

“Lin Xiaohong’s visit this time seems to be specifically for this position.”

Lin Xiaohong had probably figured out the way of the Yue Family by observing their actions.

The Yue Family always repaid kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge.

By showing a willingness to compensate, Yue Jiandong would naturally give her another chance.

But such a plan was like a desperate attempt; if the Yue Family had not relented, Lin Xiaohong would truly have been left with a huge debt.

Lin Chunju rather admired her.

It’s not bad to be calculating; as long as one uses these wits for the right purposes, they are talents worth having.
