Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 542 - 526: No Result

Li Chang looked impatient, "You lie in front of me all day, but when it comes to your family, you can’t. Can’t you say I hit you? Say it however pitifully you want."

"But Saozi knows what happened today. If my brother comes home, finds out I didn’t tell the truth, and comes over to ask for money, what do we do?"

"The money is already in our hands. If they want it back, do you think I’d give it?"

"Not now, but when we make a profit, you must return my mom’s and brother’s money."

Li Chang waved dismissively, "Got it, got it, stop with the nonsense and quickly borrow the money."

Shen Rong went to Shen Boxu’s factory, putting on a sad act in front of Shen Boxu.

It just so happened that Shen Boxu was given his paycheck today, and with Shen Rong’s coaxing and deception, he borrowed dozens of yuan from the factory.

They managed to gather a hundred yuan for Shen Rong.

Meanwhile, Tan Aixiang was at home comforting Han Ying, unaware that her husband had already given the money away. "Cousin, so Shen Rong came to borrow money today?" Lin Wan asked Tan Aixiang, seeing Grandma’s mood had improved.

"Yes, right when she arrived, she asked me for five hundred yuan. I don’t have that much money. I planned to lend them a hundred yuan, but when I asked her what it was for, she couldn’t give a clear answer, which made me suspicious. I decided not to lend the hundred yuan anymore, who knew they’d turn to Grandma. Since we moved in, I’m the one managing the putty business, and every month, I give Grandma twenty yuan. She doesn’t have much money either. Grandma also knows that lending to Shen Rong isn’t reliable, so she didn’t mention it. Just when we were at a standstill, you arrived, and it happened that you ran into this situation."

"Cousin, it’s a good thing we ran into each other today; I’m sure they will come to us next."

Tan Aixiang thought about it and agreed with Lin Wan. "Sigh, those two aren’t the kind who can live a peaceful life."

"You haven’t noticed? Today’s incident was clearly orchestrated by Li Chang. Rongrong, she’s just foolish. When she brought Li Chang over, I knew it was unreliable. He seems polite on the surface, but he’s crafty and cunning." At her age, Han Ying was good at judging others.

"Grandma, I was reckless today," Han Yi said, "We should talk to Uncle about this so he can manage Shen Rong. If she continues like this, she’ll only suffer more in the future."

"She deserved the beating. If I weren’t too old, I’d have given her a good thrashing today. Sigh, Rongrong has been spoiled by your aunt. We should mention this to your uncle; it’s his daughter, and he needs to discipline her. I, an old woman, can’t manage them anymore."

"Grandma, why not come stay with us for a while to avoid these bothersome matters?" Deep down, Han Yi wanted Han Ying to live with them.

"Yes, Grandma, you’ve been saying you want to visit us since we moved out." "Sigh... Xiao Wan, you two can’t do that; we care for Grandma well. Grandma is a treasure in our family, and you can’t just take her away. You can visit more often instead," Tan Aixiang objected to Han Yi and Lin Wan’s suggestion.

"Cousin, it’s just for a short stay, not permanently."

"You say it’s temporary, but you won’t let her return once she settles in," Tan Aixiang playfully glared at Lin Wan and said, "Grandma, you can’t just leave your great-grandson and run off to enjoy yourself."

Tan Aixiang’s playful remark made Han Ying laugh heartily. She held their hands and said, "I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving, hahaha, I’m too old to walk around. Xiao Yi has to study, Xiao Wan is busy with her business and looking after the child. When I visit, Xiao Wan can’t manage alone. If you miss me, just visit more often. I can soak in the herbs you brought me this time; it’ll last me through the winter."

Thinking of the young couple in every aspect, Han Yi and Lin Wan felt they had done so little for their grandmother.

By chance, meeting Shen Rong today was something destined. If Zhang Dandan hadn’t delayed yesterday, today’s events wouldn’t have happened. Yet, if Shen Rong wanted to borrow money, she would eventually circle through relatives. Visiting their home was just a matter of time.

On the way home, Han Yi held Lin Wan’s hand, checking, "Does it hurt?"

Hearing Han Yi’s question, Lin Wan was momentarily surprised. "Who spoils their wife like this? Typically, when a wife gets into a fight, the husband calms things down. You, on the other hand, joined in and then asked if my hand hurts."

Despite saying this, Lin Wan was deeply touched by Han Yi’s supportive behavior today, which brought her immense pride. Having a husband who protects her at all times was very comforting.

Sigh, it would be wonderful if my husband could be by my side every day in the future.

"That’s for ordinary people. I’m no ordinary man. If my wife truly did something wrong, I’d tell her off at home but I wouldn’t let her be wronged in front of others."

"Husband, you’re so good," Lin Wan wanted to hug him and give him a deep kiss if they weren’t on the street.

"In the future, when I’m not home, if Shen Rong and her partner come, don’t open the door for them. Her partner has bad intentions, and there’s no need to interact with them," Han Yi advised Lin Wan.

"Mm, I know. What they spoke of today is illegal, right? If the government finds out, the person organizing the funds will probably go to jail. I warned them, but they didn’t appreciate it. If something happens later, it’s not our fault."

"Mm, let them cause trouble. We don’t need to get involved. Some people won’t change until they’ve been taught a lesson." After arriving home, with nothing to do, Han Yi started preparing to make a round trampoline for Little Star in the yard.

Little Star now likes Lin Wan supporting her as she runs around the yard. She’s trying to learn to walk, causing Lin Wan to bend over, which is exhausting. Usually, she uses a scarf to help support Little Star as she walks.

Han Yi wanted to make a trampoline for their child, placing several poles around it so Little Star could hold onto them to learn to walk on her own, easing Lin Wan’s burden. When not practicing, Little Star could crawl and bounce inside.

Lin Wan looked for space in the house for Little Star. Han Yi collected the necessary items within an hour from the street.

After putting Little Star to sleep, the couple worked in the yard to make a trampoline for their child.

"By the way, when I was out just now, I ran into Yang Wei, and he returned the money he owed me."

"Why didn’t you invite him to come to our house?"

"He had something else to do and couldn’t make it."

"Oh. Wait, did you run into him at the market?"

Han Yi was noticeably taken aback, "How did you know?"

"A few days ago, Shi Lan mentioned seeing Yang Wei at the market. At that time, Yang Lian was carrying large bags for someone. Shi Lan was curious but didn’t ask him and told me about it later... Ai Yi, has Yang Wei retired?"

Listening, Han Yi sighed with a smile, "No, he works in the city during his breaks to earn some extra money. Last year, his family owed a few hundred from debt to his comrade. His comrades aren’t wealthy, so he must repay them quickly."

"Oh, so that’s the case. I bet Sun Yu doesn’t know about this, right?"

"...Probably doesn’t know," replied Han Yi uncertainly.

Lin Wan was certain Sun Yu didn’t know that the money she spent was borrowed by Yang Wei from his comrades. If she knew, she certainly wouldn’t spend so lavishly.

Once the trampoline was finished, Lin Yinghui and Liang Zhi came back.

Lin Wan quickly went to the front yard to inquire. "Brother, how’s it going? What did Aunt say? Are they willing to return?"

"Sigh, we didn’t see anyone when we went there." Liang Zhi said dejectedly.

"Not at home?" Lin Wan was surprised, wondering if Zhang Dandan and Liang Weixiang had informed them, causing the mother and daughter to deliberately hide.

Lin Yinghui nodded, then shook his head, leaving Lin Wan puzzled.

"What happened?"

"We went, and indeed there was no one home, but we happened to see them in the nearby street," said Lin Yinghui.

"Yes, there was no one home, so Ah Hui took me around the area, planning to return later. Who would’ve thought we’d spot them at a street corner? Guess what they were doing?" Liang Zhi asked.

"Selling clothes, I bet!" Lin Wan didn’t need to guess.

Liang Zhi looked surprised, "Yes, exactly. When I approached them, trying to persuade them to return with me, they ran off at the sight of me, saying as they ran that they wouldn’t return. Sigh! They wouldn’t even speak to me, and now I’m left wondering how to explain this to Uncle."
