Chapter 21 (2/2)
In spite of it, Qin Junlan was hesitant and reluctant to lend Qin Yirou the sum. Eventually, she had only grudgingly lent her money only afraid of being gossiped.
Now that she heard the news of Qin Yirou being injured, Qin Junlan could no longer keep herself together. – It was not because she was worried about her younger sister’s injury but she wondered how Qin Yirou would earn and clear her debt when her hands were injured.
This was why Qin Junlan was here today with the whole family, to ask Qin Yirou for money in the name of visiting her.
“Sis, look at my state now. I can’t even eat on my own. Can I return you the money later? I’ll go back to the factory once my injury heals and return you what I owe once I receive my pay!” Qin Yirou pleaded Qin Junlan.
Qin Junlan was further upset now; she had not been the happiest to lend her sister money in the beginning anyway.
Actually, Qin Junlan’s family did not really need the money. On the contrary, her family was one of the wealthiest in Xinjiang Town.
Despite that, she was still unwilling to lend money for nothing, even if it were her biological sister. Moreover, who knew when her poverty-stricken sister could pay back what she borrowed!
Hawk-eyed, Qin Junlan suddenly caught glimpse of the chicken soup Yun Jian was retrieving from the thermal lunchbox. Her initial discontent exploded at once.
“Oh, Yirou, look at your condition now. You work so hard and got yourself injured yet your daughter went to buy chicken. How expensive a chicken is right now! How are you going to survive when she doesn’t even know how to be frugal at this young age!”
It was chicken! Qin Junlan’s children barely had chicken throughout the year! In addition, Qin Yirou could not even repay her debt yet she was having chicken?
Qin Junlan was even more dismayed once she thought about it.
