That night, Xiao Chengcai brought his family to Xiao Lingyu's house.

Xiao Chengcai took out 400 RMB and handed it to Xiao Lingyu. He said sincerely, "Jun 'Er got into trouble. Thank you for your help. I can't imagine what would have happened to my Jun 'Er if you didn't help!"

Xiao Lingyu looked at the 400 RMB in her hand and frowned. "Uncle Cai, I only borrowed 300 RMB. Why the extra 100 RMB?"

Xiao Chengcai said, "It's for the petrol fee! You've helped us so much. This is our token of appreciation."

Xiao Lingyu took out the 100 RMB and returned it to Xiao Chengcai. She said, "Uncle Cheng, I helped Jun 'Er as a favor, so I won't charge any money. Please take this extra money back!" Then, she turned to Chen Guihua and said with a smile, "Auntie Chen, you are indeed very trustworthy." However, the meaning of her tone was not clear.

Chen Guihua's expression immediately became a little stiff. She pulled her face and said with a smile, "You have already helped us so much. We must pay you back as soon as possible." However, she didn't want to really pay back the money in the first place. If she weren't forced by her husband and son, she wouldn't be here!

Xiao Chengcai knew Xiao Lingyu was very smart.

As his son, Xiao Jun had said, Xiao Lingyu knew that his wife intended not to return the money, so she told the other villagers about her loan to Chen Guihua.

Thankfully, Xiao Chengcai heard about this from the villagers. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known he had offended Xiao Lingyu.

Xiao Chengcai took back the 100 RM, but he still said sincerely, "Lingyu, since you are not willing to accept the money, I can't force you, but I will remember your kindness. If you need my help in the future, just let me know as soon as possible. I will not decline."

Xiao Lingyu didn't refuse. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll remember Uncle Cai's promise. I won't hesitate to ask for help."

Xiao Chengcai thanked Xiao Zhengyang and Chen Qiuying too before his family left.

After Xiao Chengcai's family left, Chen Qiuying said, "Fortunately, Xiao Chengcai and Xiao Jun are sensible people. Otherwise, Chen Guihua, that petty person, would have offended countless people." Then, she thought of something and said, "Yesterday, I heard from Auntie Chen that Xiao Chengcai had withdrawn all their family savings to pay the hospital bills. They should have enough money to pay the hospital, so why did he ask you to loan him money at the hospital?" Auntie Chen was Xiao Jun's grandmother.

Xiao Lingyu just smiled and said, "Who knows? Maybe she was trying to look for a sucker."

"Ah?" Mother Xiao was slightly surprised, but she immediately reacted. Her expression became ugly, "This Chen Guihua really treats people like fools! Fortunately, Xiao Chengcai is wise! Or else his wife would have brought tragedy to his whole family."

The Xiao Family was richer than other villagers, but that didn't mean they didn't work hard for them.

Xiao Zhengyang nodded. "Yes. Thankfully, Xiao Jun is not influenced by Chen Guihua. He's a clever child. Then again, Xiao Chengcai isn't a muddle-headed person. He knew Chen Guihua's character. He has been handling his son's education since Xiao Jun was young."

"This Chen Guihua is really ridiculous. Lingyu had already helped them by sending them to the hospital. She even dared to call and asked Yu 'Er to drive them back. She thought Yu 'Er is their chauffeur!" Mother Xiao was still angry when she thought about this. "How thick is her face to think of something like that?"
