Quick Wear: The heroine refuses to be in love

Chapter 744 The Stingy Man (1)

The original owner didn't continue high school because of a family crisis.

Because I needed to take care of my sick mother, I found a job near my home.

Because he didn't go to school, many relatives came to his home to introduce him to potential partners.

At first, the original owner's mother, Shi Jingxiu, declined, citing the original owner's young age.

But when the original owner turned twenty, he couldn't refuse anymore.

Shi Jingxiu didn't want to delay her daughter's future, so she agreed to the matchmaking.

After meeting several people, she started a relationship with a guy named Chang Jianyi.

Chang Jianyi's family owns a rice noodle shop, and Chang Jianyi doesn't go out to work but helps out at the shop.

After the two started dating, the original owner often went to the shop to help out. Sometimes she was so busy that it was mealtime, and Chang Jianyi would invite her to eat rice noodles at his shop.

The original owner was dating Chang Jianyi with marriage in mind, and didn't treat Chang Jianyi as an outsider, so she agreed.

He helped for two years, but when the original owner asked Chang Jianyi when they would get married, Chang Jianyi changed his mind.

The reason is that his parents were not satisfied with the original owner of the body.

The original owner inquired about the reason.

Chang Jianyi said that the original owner often ate rice noodles at his family's rice noodle shop, and always ordered large bowls. It was too extravagant, and his family couldn't afford to marry her.

The original owner of this body laughed in exasperation. Why was she eating rice noodles at their house? It was because she was helping them out.

The original owner was also unhappy and said to Chang Jianyi, "Since your parents are so meticulous in their calculations, shouldn't my wages also be settled with me?"

Chang Jianyi frowned: "You came to help voluntarily. We didn't ask you to come, so why should we pay you?"

Afterwards, he also demanded that the original owner return the money he had spent on her.

It costs a total of three thousand yuan over two years.

The original owner of this body certainly wouldn't return it. She had already suffered a loss, so why should she continue to suffer a loss?

Therefore, Chang Jianyi sued the original owner in court.

The original owner won the case.

This news got out.

Chang Jianyi became known as a stingy man in the surrounding area.

No matchmakers came to his door to introduce him to potential partners, and he was delayed until he was forty years old.

Meanwhile, the original owner, relying on his experience helping out at the Chang family restaurant, also opened a small restaurant, but it sold noodles.

Because of its reasonable prices, generous portions, and delicious taste, it's quite popular with customers.

The original owner did not marry but instead took in a live-in son-in-law and had a child.

Although there are often minor squabbles at home, it all seems perfect from the outside.

This caught Chang Jianyi's eye.

He believes that he can't get married because of the original owner of this body. Why did the original owner have a happy family?

So he followed the original owner of the body and killed her on her way home. He then fled and the police never caught him.

……

When Xu Jinhuan arrived, the original owner was already dating Chang Jianyi.

It was Sunday, and Xu Jinhuan didn't have to go to work, so Shi Jingxiu urged Xu Jinhuan to go see Chang Jianyi.

Why go to Chang Jianyi? To be his slave?

Xu Jinhuan turned over and continued sleeping: "I'm not going. I finally don't have to go to work, and I want to rest properly."

Seeing her act like a spoiled child, Shi Jingxiu laughed in exasperation. She reached out and pulled back her blanket, saying, "How old are you? Still sleeping in. If you don't want to go find Jianyi, you can go to the county town and buy yourself some clothes. Take advantage of your youth and dress yourself up more."

Xu Jinhuan: “…”

What do you mean?

They just won't let her rest!

Xu Jinhuan sat up abruptly, stared at Shi Jingxiu, and said very seriously, "Mom, I really want to rest. Working is really tiring."

Shi Jingxiu was taken aback by her gaze. Realizing what she was seeing, she felt a little embarrassed, put the blanket back in her hand, and said awkwardly, "Then you should rest!"

Xu Jinhuan hummed in agreement and lay down.

Shi Jingxiu pursed her lips, left her daughter's room, picked up a broom, and swept the fallen leaves in the yard while reflecting on whether she had done something wrong.

Is she too self-righteous?

It was a bit disrespectful to her daughter, but she was thinking about her future, since she didn't have much time left to live.

Shi Jingxiu's brows were furrowed with sorrow, but she did not let Xu Jinhuan leave.

Xu Jinhuan would lie at home all day long.

Seeing this, Shi Jingxiu realized that her daughter hadn't lied to her that morning; she was genuinely tired.

During dinner that evening, she said, "Why don't you change jobs? I can get my medicine reimbursed now, it won't cost much."

"I'll think about it," Xu Jinhuan said.

The original owner worked at a supermarket, was extremely busy, and often had to work overtime, which was unpaid.

The original owner could tolerate it, but she couldn't.

at the same time.

The Chang family's small restaurant was still open. Chang's mother was washing dishes in the kitchen, Chang's father was cleaning the restaurant, and Chang Jianyi was calculating how much money they had made that day.

Halfway through, Chang's father suddenly thought of a question. He looked up and asked Chang Jianyi, "Isn't today Sunday? Why isn't your girlfriend helping out at the shop?"

They come every day.

Chang Jianyi was taken aback by the question. He took out his phone and found that Xu Jinhuan hadn't messaged him today. He frowned and said, "Maybe something's wrong? Isn't his mother in poor health?"

Mentioning this made Chang's father unhappy. "Having a sickly mother will only be a burden when you get married."

The more I think about it, the more worried I get.

He hoped his son could marry a daughter-in-law who was devoted to her husband's family.

Instead of constantly running back to her parents' home after marriage, or even spending money on them.

Chang Jianyi said without looking up, "I've inquired. Her mother has cancer and won't live much longer. She won't be a burden to me, so you and Mom can rest assured."

"cancer?"

Father Chang was startled; he really didn't know the answer to this question.

"Then shouldn't we get treatment? Doesn't treatment cost money?"

“It was in the late stage, and since their family didn’t have the money, they opted for conservative treatment,” Chang Jianyi said.

He found out everything about this matter clearly.

Otherwise, no matter how beautiful Xu Jinhuan is, he would not agree to be with her.

Father Chang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Huanhuan is a pretty good girl, and she's quite diligent."

When I went to help out at the store, I wasn't afraid of hardship, fatigue, or getting dirty. I was much better than the people the store had hired before.
