Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Who would have known that upon hearing this, the man instantly became irate, abruptly drew out a glistening sharp knife from his pocket, and bellowed, "Si Xiaohui, are you going to pay me back or not? If you don’t pay up, don’t blame me for fighting to death. Which is important to you, money or life? It’s your decision."

"Don’t do anything foolish." Si Xiaohui’s face turned pale with fear. She wanted to scream for help but there wasn’t anyone around. She dared not provoke the man, opting instead to placate him. "Is it just about the money? I will give it to you. I just don’t have any money on me at the moment. Can you give me some time? Can I borrow money to give to you?"

"I’m giving you three days. If you don’t pay me, don’t blame me for being ruthless." The man stared at her and warned, "Don’t play tricks on me. I know where you work, and where you live."

Si Xiaohui was genuinely scared at this point, "Three days is not enough at all, you should give me three months at least."

The money she had stolen had all been spent already. She only had a few yuan left on her. If she didn’t save a little, she wouldn’t even be able to hang on until payday, let alone pay him back.

"I don’t care, three days it is. If you can’t pay me, we shall perish together." The man was resolute, with no inclination for further discussion. He was hell-bent on getting his money.

Seeing the man’s unstable emotions, Si Xiaohui dared not confront him directly. She just followed his words, "Alright, alright, I’ll go borrow it, okay? My brother and sister-in-law are rich, they won’t miss such a small amount of money."

After repeatedly warning Si Xiaohui to not play tricks, the man let her leave.

Si Xiaohui’s back was drenched in cold sweat. She didn’t dare stick around any longer and hurriedly ran back to her rented room. The thought of the man coming after her in three days made her anxious and frustrated.

The next morning, as soon as she arrived at the shop, she contacted Yu Shiya to borrow money. Who would have known that not only did Yu Shiya refuse, she even warned Si Xiaohui to stay honest at work or she’d get fired for causing trouble.
