Chapter 440: Swelling your face in front of me is useless
Just before the holidays, they were living comfortably, shopping for clothes and getting their hair done. But in less than half a month, they were suddenly evicted. Lin Fengying and Si Xiaohui couldn’t accept such a reversal of fortune and cried for several days.
Seeing the date to pay the rent approaching and the landlord knocking on their door, they didn’t dare to answer.
Realizing they couldn’t continue in this way, Lin Fengying decided to approach Si Chen for a loan. However, not only did she find out that Si Chen wasn’t around, she also learned that he was about to go abroad. The news left her feeling like her world was collapsing, and she collapsed in a hospital corridor.
Si Xiaohui felt deeply humiliated. Managing to pull her mother outside the hospital, they thought for a long time before deciding to ask Lin Man for help.
Upon finding out that Si Weimin was going to be jailed, Si Chen divorced Tong Yao and that he was also planning to go abroad, Lin Man felt victorious and her mood was excellent.
Given Si Chen was moving abroad, Lin Fengying, and Si Xiaohui were no longer of any use to her. Lin Man wasn’t interested in dealing with them and promptly finding a way to refuse their request for a loan.
"Auntie Lin, Xiaohui, I really want to help you, but I genuinely don’t have the money. I haven’t been working for a long time. My mom still expects me to contribute to the household expenses every month. I truly have no money available."
This mother-daughter duo were audacious, asking for a hundred yuan when they barely knew her. Why should she lend them so much money when there’s no familial obligation?
"..." Rejected from her first plea for a loan, Lin Fengying was so embarrassed she didn’t dare to say anything more.
Yet Si Xiaohui boldly retorted: "Even if you don’t have a hundred, you must have thirty or fifty yuan, right?" She forgot to modify the brash tone she got accustomed to using during better times. Her tone towards Lin Man sounded as if she was owed money.
