Rebirth: I Like You

Chapter 23: Small Treasury (1)

The basketball game came to an end. When An Shuangling returned home on the weekend, she heard Yang Zhigang begging his father to borrow money as soon as she entered the door.

A man in his forties said humbly, "Brother An, can you please lend me some money? I'm planning to start my own business, but I'm short of capital. I want to borrow some money from you to make ends meet. Considering my loyalty to you over the years, and the fact that we're old classmates, please help me."

Seeing An Shuangling coming in, Yang Zhigang's old face turned red, and An's father quickly said, "Shuangling is back. Are you hungry? Eat some fruit first, okay? I'll talk to your uncle Yang about work, and then I'll go cook."

An Shuangling looked at the two people on the sofa and said, "Okay, Dad."

"Junjie and Shuangling are on vacation."

"Yes, uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

This middle-aged man is Yang Xiaotong’s father, named Yang Zhigang. He is also a former classmate of An Shuangling’s father. He has been working in An Shuangling’s father’s factory. He has some ability and is willing to endure hardships, but his character is not very good and he cannot distinguish right from wrong.

An Shuangling had a deep impression of him. Firstly, he was her father's childhood friend. Secondly, Yang Zhigang had made many contributions to the factory. They had a very good relationship and Yang Zhigang could be said to have watched her grow up.

But he didn't care that Yang Xiaotong had snatched her boyfriend in her previous life, and even condoned Yang Xiaotong's behavior. After her death, Yang Zhigang, instigated by Yang Xiaotong, couldn't wait to ruin An's father's job.

In the previous life, when Mother An fell ill and sought medical treatment after An Shuangling's death, Yang Xiaotong's father not only watched her die without rescuing her, he also brought his wife and children to make Mother An so angry that she vomited blood, which accelerated her death.

He hated that Mother An did not agree to Father An lending him money to start a business, otherwise he, Yang Zhigang, would have become rich long ago.

And now, the exact same scene is reappearing before our eyes.

Yang Xiaotong's family has saved some money over the years and bought a house and a car. Yang Xiaotong is vain and encouraged her father to start a business just to increase her own value.

She didn't want others to know that her father was a worker. She always thought that her family could do business and make a fortune like An Shuangling's family, and hoped that her parents could give her a luxurious life.

"Zhigang, look. The children are back. Let's talk another day." Mother An said with a smile.

Yang Zhigang knew that Mother An did not want Father An to lend him money, but he could not force Father An in front of the younger generations.

I could only smile and say, "Sister-in-law is right, let's talk about it another day. I think Xiaotong should be home soon, so I'll go back first. Brother An, let's not come back until we're drunk another day."

"Okay, walk slowly, be careful on the road, and drive slowly."

After seeing Yang Zhigang off, Mother An said with a smile, "You two must be hungry. I'll get you some fruit to fill your stomachs. I'll cook for you right away."

An Shuangling was eating an apple and watching TV series while her mother An and her brother An Junjie were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Dad An is looking at the financial statements, thinking about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Dad An is now preparing to expand the scale of the factory.

Having made a lot of money over the years, he expected that there would be more money to be made in this business in the future, so he wanted to expand the scale of the factory and make a fortune.

In the future, when An Junjie graduates and wants to start a business, there will be enough funds to support him.

“Hahaha, how funny.”

"Sister, stop laughing and come in to help carry the dishes out. We're ready to eat. Forget it, just wipe the table and I'll carry the dishes. I'm afraid you'll burn yourself."

"I'll serve the dishes. I'm not afraid. How could I be so stupid as to serve dishes?"

Seeing that she was so persistent, An Junjie had no choice but to let her go.

Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, An Shuangling couldn't help but reach out to take a piece of meat to eat.

"Snapped"

"Have you washed your hands?"

"Dad, hello! My brother hit my hand and criticized him, so I made him wash the dishes alone for a while."

"Junjie, be gentle to your sister. Shuangling is not angry, so let's punish him by making him wash the dishes after dinner."

"Hahaha, that's pretty much it."

They quickly washed their hands and came back to enjoy the meal. Seeing the children eating so happily, the two old people smiled with satisfaction.

On Saturday, An Shuangling got up early in the morning and went to the nearby park for morning exercises. She practiced dancing every morning at school, and she ran at home to keep fit.

It seemed like she hadn't gone for a morning run for a long time, so she wanted to ask her brother to go, but he had already made an appointment with his junior high school classmates for a small gathering, so An Shuangling had to go alone.

After running for about ten minutes, I saw a familiar figure.

"Shuangling, you also like morning jogging, what a coincidence."

"Panlong-san? Why are you near my house?"

"My family also invested in a property nearby. We kept a few houses for ourselves. I live here alone now."

"Can you cook?"

"I usually eat out. To be honest, I'm tired of the restaurants around here."

“Can you cook?”

"Of course, I'm a pretty good cook."

"How about this, you come to my house and cook for me on weekends, and I'll pay you? You should want to have your own little treasury."

An Shuangling thought about it and it made sense.

"No need to think about it, it's decided happily. From now on, you come to my house to cook every week, and I will give you 2,000 yuan a month as a reward. As for the money for buying groceries, I will give you another one."

"Okay, deal. But I don't want anyone else to know about this. You have to keep it a secret for me."

"Okay. It's settled. You can't go back on your word. If not, you can come to my house later to sign an agreement."

"Okay, no problem. Let's go, I want to run over there and look at the flowers."

Panlong followed behind with a smile, originally thinking that An Shuangling's home was nearby, and he would live in this house, and then maybe he could run into her a few times to relieve his longing for her. Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to spend time with her every weekend, which made him happy just thinking about it.

After running for half an hour, the two decided to stop exercising today. Panlong took An Shuangling back to his residence, and what came into view was a large suite, which should have been specially designed like this. The living room alone must be 70 square meters.

The life of rich people is indeed different. The whole house is very simple, with white and black as the main colors. The kitchen has everything except the refrigerator, which is empty.

Panlong spread his hands helplessly and smiled. The two of them could only go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables.

Because they hadn't eaten breakfast yet, in order to save time, they didn't buy too many things, just the ingredients for breakfast. After returning home, An Shuangling immediately got busy, after all, she was hungry too.

While making breakfast, An's mother called. An Shuangling could only say that she was at a friend's house and would not be going home for dinner.

Shuangling’s mother had no choice but to give up. Both of her children went to find their classmates, and she also went to chat with her own little sisters.
