After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 17 The IOU for 250,000
Bailu wasn't just guessing; she had simply envisioned their future together.

If Bai Lu hadn't noticed something and asked Bai Wei, Bai Wei wouldn't have revealed the truth upon returning home this time due to various concerns.

Forced into a corner, they both inevitably resorted to high-interest loans. They managed to survive for another six months on these loans and the intermittent repayments. Finally, when the debt exploded and there was no more room to hide it, Bai Wei confessed to her family, but it was too late.

180,000 has become 480,000!
But what good would it do to be honest?
How could the Bai family possibly come up with this amount of money?

The only valuable asset is that apartment that hasn't been handed over yet.

Did they sell the house to pay off Bai Wei's debts?
Qin Xiu had thought about it.

But she couldn't bring herself to make that decision. Both her daughters were her children; she couldn't bear to watch her second daughter be driven to her death by loan sharks. But Bai Chen and his girlfriend had reached the point of discussing marriage...

But because Qin Xiu hesitated, Bai Wei didn't want to cause trouble for her family, so she ran away with Tian Yao, hiding here and there. After Tian Yao's parents sold the house to pay off their debts, she went back to Tian Yao's hometown with him, where she faced endless accusations from everyone.

Everyone cursed her as a jinx, saying that it was because of her that Tian Yao went to Yangcheng, ended up in such a state, and that the Tian family went bankrupt.

The two elderly people of the Tian family were left homeless in their final days.

That's so pitiful.

So even though she worked two jobs a day and worked herself to the bone, it was all taken for granted by everyone. Her sins could never be redeemed until her death.

It only took Tian Yao a month to go from defending her to joining in criticizing her, and later he even slapped her.

Eventually, it escalated to the point where, regardless of whether he was happy or unhappy, he would beat her up to vent his anger, ultimately causing her to abort both of her children.

One day, after drinking, Tian Yao hit Bai Wei again, banging her head against the wall. By the time Tian Yao sobered up, Bai Wei was already dead.

There's a long iron nail on the wall, with the pointed end facing outwards. I don't know who nailed it there.

Bai Wei's head was riddled with deep, bloody holes, and the ground beneath her feet was soaked in blood. Her head was pinned to the wall by iron nails, and she stood there stiffly, a faint smile on her lips, her expression one of relief.

Bai Wei died at the age of twenty-eight.

Bai Lu's heart ached terribly, and she went straight up and slapped Tian Yao eight or ten times.

"you……!!"

Tian Yao was stunned by the blow, his head tilted to the side, unable to react in time. Before he could even question her, Bai Lu grabbed his hair, dragged him toward the wall, and slammed him against it repeatedly.

Bai Chen and Bai Wei walked away in perfect unison—it wouldn't be good if they got caught in the crossfire.

"what!"

Tian Yao was caught off guard by the sudden beating. He finally understood why women love to pull hair when they fight – it really hurts!

However, what hurt even more was hitting his head against the wall; he even wondered if his brain had been punched open!

He tried to pry Bailu's hand open, but found it was as hard as steel; he couldn't budge it an inch. He could only plead, "It hurts—it hurts, big sister, it hurts so much! Don't hit it—ouch!"

The violent impact left him unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Does it hurt?" Bai Lu snorted coldly: "It should hurt."

Bai Wei must have been in a hundred or a thousand times more pain than he is now before she died!
Enraged, Bai Lu became even more ruthless. The "bang bang bang" sounds and the slight tremor showed just how much force she was using; she was trying to smash his head to pieces!

"Weiwei, save me!"

Tian Yao truly felt death, and reached out his hand, fearfully pleading for help from Bai Wei.

Little did he know, Bai Wei only glanced at him and didn't dare utter a single word—

Her sister was clearly furious; the culprit was obviously Tian Yao and her...

Knowing her sister as she did, if she dared to plead for Tian Yao, Bai Lu would definitely beat her up too!

Judging from the force with which her sister hit Tian Yao, she probably wouldn't last more than two hits before she passed out.

—If you hit Tian Yao, you can't hit me!
Bai Wei silently took two steps back.

"Eh eh eh——"

Bai Chen originally wanted to beat up Tian Yao, and since his sister was going to do it for him, he was happy to see it happen. After all, his sister was a girl and her strength was limited. Even if she used all her strength to beat Tian Yao, she wouldn't be able to kill him.

Unlike him, who is a rough and uncouth man, if he gets angry and doesn't know his own strength, he might seriously injure someone—Tian Yao's death is no loss, but Bai Chen can't be involved!

So he watched from afar as Bailu beat someone up to vent her anger, but the more he watched, the more something seemed off. How could his sister be so strong after only two months apart? And... why does the house feel like it's shaking?
and--

Tian Yao has been bleeding!
The bleeding area is increasing!

The walls have all turned red!

Bai Chen was startled and quickly stepped forward to pull Bai Lu away, trying to calm her down: "Sister, sister! That's enough, that's enough—just teach him a lesson! We are ambitious young people who grew up under the five-star red flag, we don't need to kill people! Killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of our own is just letting that bastard get away with it! It's not worth it! Let's calm down!"

Bai Lu took a deep breath: "I won't die, I know what I'm doing."

As if he had survived a disaster, Tian Yao collapsed to the ground. He couldn't say a word at that moment and crawled into the room on his hands and feet, leaving trails of blood in his wake. But he didn't dare to stop until he crawled into the bedroom and locked the door. Only then did he dare to collapse to the ground, completely exhausted.

Cried.

Silent crying.

Weeping silently.

He is still alive.

very nice.

He shuddered at the thought that the egret had really tried to crash into him to his death.

He could sense that Bailu truly wanted him dead.

Suddenly, he felt very wronged.

For Bai Wei, he left his hometown and came to this unfamiliar city to start from scratch. Even Bai Wei, who was with him day and night, could not possibly know all the difficulties he went through!

To gain Bai Wei's mother's approval and for his future with Bai Wei, he worked tirelessly day and night. He finally found a way, but lacked funds, so he had to "raise" money to raise some funds.

However, in business, things are never smooth sailing. It's normal to have some minor problems with cash flow, right?
Hardships are only temporary; once you get through them, the sun will shine again and the future will be bright.

Why is the Bai family so determined to stop him and Weiwei from getting together? And why are his parents so heartless, unable to offer him even the slightest help?

Tian Yao's face was covered in blood, making him look ferocious. However, before his anger could flare up for even a minute, he was terrified by the loud sound of the door being kicked open and cowered in fear.

Who is this!
She kicked his door open with one kick?!

Even a grown man like him wouldn't dare guarantee he could kick the door open in one go!

No, it's smashed...

Through a slit in his eye, Tian Yao saw Bai Lu's tiny fist slowly loosen, fumble to the right, find the doorknob, and click the door open...

At that moment, Tian Yao felt a surge of inexplicable gratitude—gratitude to his elder sister for sparing his life!

If Bailu had used the force of a hammer to smash his head—his head would have been smashed to pieces!
Bai Chen and Bai Wei outside also stared wide-eyed. This strength, this result, has the egret evolved?

Bai Chen and Bai Wei exchanged a glance. Bai Wei was on the verge of tears—if Bai Lu ever thought of hitting her again, she was definitely dead!

"stand up."

The egret clapped its hands, flicking away the wood shavings from its wrist. "Alright, big sister!"

Ignoring his headache, Tian Yao immediately got up. He was even a little dizzy from getting up so suddenly, but he didn't dare to show it at all. He stood respectfully in front of Bai Lu, his head covered in blood, and said, "What are your orders?"

These words made Bai Lu sound like a mafia boss, which Bai Wei found unbearable to watch. She had never seen Tian Yao so obsequious before, and she even felt sorry for him looking like he was about to die with a face full of blood.

"This is an IOU for 250,000 yuan. Sign it."

Bai Lu shook out a piece of paper, Bai Chen immediately took out a pen, and Bai Wei stood aside quietly watching.

"Okay, I'll sign!"

Tian Yao took the pen and signed his name without hesitation.

He naturally knew how much debt Bai Wei had, and he dared not complain about the extra 20,000 yuan; in fact, he was quite relieved.

Since Bai Lu gave him the opportunity to sign the IOU, it means she will help Bai Wei resolve her debts!

What he feared most during this time was that Bai Wei's debts would explode and she wouldn't be able to handle it. Now, the huge weight on his heart has finally been lifted.

As for the 250,000 yuan, he naturally accepted it, and Bailu also gave him a two-year repayment period, which was more than enough.

"Hmph, you still have some conscience."

Bai Wei carefully put the IOU away for Bai Chen, then asked Tian Yao to bring her phone. She added him on WeChat and transferred 20,000 yuan to him.

"This……"

Tian Yao was bewildered by Bai Lu's actions. It would be fine if she didn't force him to pay back the money, but why was she giving him money instead?
“A week later, a paint supplier will come to you to ask for payment. You settle the payment with him and at the same time order a batch of the highest-grade anti-rust paint from him.”

Tian Yao asked in surprise, "How...how did you know my paint supplier would be coming?"

Bailu: "How I know this is none of your business. In a week, you will receive 80,000 yuan back. In addition to settling all the payments to the paint supplier, you can only settle half of the workers' wages and the payments to the supplier. As for how to persuade them, you'll have to figure that out yourself."

Bai Lu left after speaking. Tian Yao took two steps after her, but was startled when Bai Lu raised her eyes. He didn't even have time to say goodbye to Bai Wei. He looked at the 20,000 yuan that Bai Lu had transferred, unsure whether to accept it or not.

In the end, he accepted it.

Poverty makes people lose their ambition.

He really needs money.

"sister!"

Bai Chen walked up the stairs with a dark face, looking very unhappy: "You're giving him money? Are you crazy?"

Bailu: "If I don't give him the money, how will he repay the 250,000?"

Bai Chen sighed, "You think he'll have the money to pay you back just because you give him money? How do you know that 20,000 yuan isn't just going down the drain? Bai Wei already said that he owes more money than she does!"

The egret sighed.

We're afraid to act rashly for fear of unintended consequences!

People who are at their wits' end are prone to making desperate decisions, and in the end, Bai Wei will inevitably be the one who gets hurt.

Her intervention today freed Bai Wei from her original tragic fate, and this had far-reaching consequences, naturally changing Tian Yao's destiny as well.

He is not in a hopeless situation now, and even has some good fortune. If she goes too far today, unless she kills Tian Yao, Bai Wei and the Bai family will continue to be harassed by Tian Yao.

In this kind of situation, what can the police do besides give him a lecture or detain him?

Even if they are detained, they will be released in a couple of days.

But is she going to kill Tian Yao now?
You can kill her, but you can't.

As a matter of expediency, we can only offer him some assistance.

Damn, she really has the heart of a bodhisattva!

I feel so frustrated!

She actually helped that bastard.

The only good thing is that since Tian Yao has received such a great favor from her, she won't be involved in any karmic consequences if she does anything to him in the future.

Bai Lu said, "I definitely have my reasons for doing this! But I'll have to wait a few days before I can tell you!"

Wait until she reaches the second level of Qi Refining. Once she reaches that stage, she'll be able to learn some simple spells, and she'll amaze them both!
Who told them not to believe she could get rich by growing vegetables!

Bai Chen: "What is it? Can't you say it now?"

Egret: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

"..." Bai Chen muttered speechlessly, "What nonsense... What were you talking to Tian Yao about payment and suppliers? What did you mean?"

"I've already said, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

Bai Lu jumped down the last step. Since she didn't intend to reveal her identity at this time, she naturally couldn't say that she had calculated this!

Bai Chen's lips twitched violently: "Are you crazy?!"

"sister……"

Bai Wei looked at the egret cautiously.

Bai Lu looked at her and slowly said, "You're coming home with me today, which means you're going to cut all ties with him from today onwards. Can you do that?"

Bai Wei nodded quickly: "I can do it!"

The egret nodded, deciding to trust her for the time being.

After all, even if Bai Wei couldn't do it, she had ways to make her do it.

In Bai Lu's eyes, a man who can't even provide his girlfriend with a stable life is extremely irresponsible. Even if he becomes the richest man in the future, he will still be an unqualified man.

Do not care.

Bai Lu got into the car and said to Bai Wei, "I can pay you back the money, but not for free. You have to work for me to pay off the debt."

Bai Lu has done a lot for her family. She paid for Bai Wei's tuition and Bai Wei and Bai Chen's living expenses. Every single transaction was made through mobile phone transfers, so there was no record of it. When they asked her for money, she made such nice promises. Both of them said that they would definitely pay her back after they started working!
But so much time has passed, and the two of them haven't paid back a single penny.

The egrets used to not care, but now...

Bai Chen's share is one thing, but Bai Wei's share is another one, not a single penny should be counted for her!

What a wasteful thing!

"Okay!" Bai Wei quickly replied, then cautiously asked, "Is it farm work?"

"What do you think?"

“I don’t think it matters! I’ll do whatever job my sister tells me to do—thank you, sister.”

"Um—I'm interrupting your sisterly affectionate moment for a moment!"

Bai Chen raised his hand in the front row: "Sis, where did you get the money? 180,000 isn't 18 yuan, and you even gave away 20,000!"
