CHAPTER 202: CHAPTER 202: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? I DIDN’T CATCH THAT

After entering the bamboo building, She went straight to the second floor.

Seeing the awards and cash prizes placed on the desk, She recalled the events of the past few days.

She didn’t expect that during the school’s assembly, the principal would invite the leaders from the Mechanical Factory, and besides receiving the city’s two hundred yuan reward and the school’s one hundred yuan reward for winning first place in the provincial math competition, the Mechanical Factory also rewarded her with a hundred yuan.

Later she learned that the Mechanical Factory originally planned to reward her with fifty yuan, but unexpectedly, upon learning that the city’s first prize from the school was fifty and the provincial first prize from the school was one hundred, and the two hundred yuan city prize, along with the future three hundred yuan from the province, they felt fifty was too little. Since it was the first time anyone from either the lower or upper school had won an award, they immediately decided to reward her with a hundred yuan, aiming to motivate students to study hard.

Once the rewards were announced, envy and jealousy plagued the students below.

Seizing this opportunity, both Principal Feng and Director Gao made many speeches encouraging the students, and the results indeed sparked enthusiasm for studying among them.

Yu Xinyan became a celebrity in the Mechanical Factory and several nearby villages, participating in a competition where the school alone rewarded her with a hundred and fifty yuan, plus the two hundred from the city and a hundred from the Mechanical Factory, not to mention the provincial reward yet to come, totaling four hundred fifty yuan, which truly astonished everyone.

What surprised Yu Xinyan even more was that the next day, Yao Hui stopped her in the residential area, intending to borrow money from her.

Even Zhao Jianlan and Duan Ruilian, who were with her, couldn’t quite believe it; they were all stunned.

Yu Xinyan scratched her ear and said to Yao Hui, "What did you just say? I didn’t hear clearly?"

Yao Hui replied confidently, "Rumor has it you got a lot of prize money, lend me a hundred yuan."

Yu Xinyan shrugged, "Now I heard you clearly, but why should I lend it to you?"

Yao Hui pestered, "When your brother was sick, the Lyu Family lent you money without hesitation. We’re in trouble now; shouldn’t you help us?"

Her words drew several thumbs-up from those standing by.

Yu Xinyan was amused by her words, "Your logic is interesting, but the money wasn’t spent by me, you should go back to Beilan Village and ask the Yu Family, you won’t get it from me."

Really, She didn’t know what this woman was thinking, was her brain filled with mush? What kind of relationship did they have to borrow money from her?

It’s absurd that she would even say such a thing.

Yu Xinyan didn’t want to tangle with her and stated coldly, "Please move aside, don’t make trouble for yourself, I’m not to be trifled with."

The murderous look in her eyes was felt not only by Yao Hui but also by Zhao Jianlan and Duan Ruilian.

Yao Hui wanted to retort, but Yu Xinyan had already pulled the two people beside her away, running far. Yao Hui initially wanted to chase them but stopped when she noticed people pointing and whispering about her.

The reason Yao Hui came to intercept Yu Xinyan was that someone had incited her, not genuinely for her good, but to watch her become a laughingstock.

Apparently, the Lyu Family called a few days ago, saying that the youngest, the fourth sibling, Lyu Juanzi, sister of Lyu Juncheng, was getting married next month. As the most capable member of the family among the third generation, Granny Lyu gave strict orders to prepare a decent dowry for her only sister.

Lyu Juncheng’s current status was just an ordinary worker, with debts outside and a reduced salary compared to before, and a large sum sent back home every month. Where’s the money to prepare a dowry for Lyu Juanzi?
