Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai Mi actually didn't really want to borrow money, but after all she had no money on hand, making everything too difficult. She calculated in her mind that in a few days her mother would be discharged from the hospital and wouldn't need anyone to wait on her. She would go to the plot behind Wuhu Mountain, clear a patch first, and plant some small-seeded sunflowers at this time, which would also bring in some income, so she wouldn't leave any gap.

After Chai Mi went to neighbor Liu Chunren's home, both Liu Chunren and Ni Shi were at home. They ate dinner a bit earlier, and at this moment they were drinking tea and cooling off under the grape trellis in the courtyard.

Chai Mi got straight to the point, explaining her request: she wanted to borrow some money to tide herself over temporarily.

Liu Chunren was quite straightforward and directly handed one thousand yuan to Chai Mi.

The two families still had a decent relationship, and the amount borrowed wasn't much, so they didn't need to worry that Chai Mi wouldn't pay it back.

"It's still more important to see a doctor... By the way, how is your mother's illness?" Ni Shi asked with concern.

"It's nothing major, just tired. She'll be fine after resting for a few more days." Chai Mi answered truthfully.

Afterwards, the two chatted a few more simple words—nothing more than whether Laosan Chai Xin was in good health, and whether there was any matter of him getting sick or having diarrhea.

Chai Mi returned from the neighbor's house and happened to run into Chai Youqing carrying a hoe home.

Chai Youqing was exhausted, his face red and ears flushed, with beads of sweat all over his dark skin.

Seeing Chai Mi come out of the neighbor's house, he looked somewhat puzzled and asked, "You're not at the hospital watching your mother, so what are you going home for?"

After all, Su Wan was hospitalized and had two children with her, and Laosan Chai Xin was not even a month old yet. A sick woman alone in the hospital obviously couldn't manage; if anything major or minor happened, how could it work without someone to wait on her?

Moreover, in this era, hospitals generally had no nursing aides, and even if there were, they couldn't afford to hire one. When it came to getting injections, family members had to go from the inpatient department to the outpatient department themselves to get the medicine. The nurses there generally didn't like to move, and if you asked them for help, they'd say they were too busy.

Although Chai Youqing's worry wasn't unreasonable, Chai Mi coldly snorted, "Then why don't you go?"

Chai Youqing was instantly speechless, his embarrassment fully exposed.

Afterwards, Chai Mi returned home.

Chai Youqing awkwardly exchanged a few pleasantries with Liu Chunren.

Given Chai Mi's understanding of neighbor Liu Chunren's character, they wouldn't tell Chai Youqing that she had gone to borrow money.

Sure enough, when Chai Youqing returned, he also didn't know about Chai Mi borrowing money today.

Chai Youqing put down the hoe, and just as he entered the house, Chai Mi had already finished packing her things and was ready to go out.

"That... how is your mother?" Chai Youqing asked somewhat hesitantly.

Chai Mi rolled her eyes at Chai Youqing, too lazy to answer, and turned to leave.

Just as she stepped out the door, Chai Youqing suddenly said, "I heard that you made a scene at your grandfather's house today, and even broke your Third Uncle's leg... Your Third Aunt isn't a good person. You going out to hide for a while wouldn't be a bad thing."

"Me go out to hide?" Chai Mi was completely thrown off by Chai Youqing's words.

"Would I be afraid of Xiao Doubao? Someone like her—I could take on ten of her by myself..."

Chai Mi, possessed by Ye Shifu, didn't put Che Lianyun in her eyes at all. Che Lianyun was slightly short and stout, and looked somewhat... somewhat indescribable, with a somewhat waxy-yellow complexion. Over time, people gave her this nickname, calling her Xiao Doubao.

Xiao Doubao Che Lianyun was a person who was stuck-up and sharp-tongued. Logically, with Chai You De's appearance, it was impossible for him to take a fancy to Che Lianyun. Chai You De aside from anything else, was indeed good-looking, and was also a high school dropout... Don't underestimate this high school dropout; in this era, those who could get into high school were few and far between, which showed that Chai You De's brain was still usable.
