Rebirth 1983: Starting from taking back the family property.

Chapter 540: Cherish What You Have

When Nie Zhan returned home, he did not tell Lu Jiaxin about Tao Yong and Shi Xinyu. Although it was hard to give up the six-year relationship, it was better not to marry Shi Xinyu because of her personality.

Two days later, Yu Meitong called Lu Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin, Tao Yong took the initiative to go to Shi's house to cancel the engagement, but was beaten up by Xinyu's two brothers."

Lu Jiaxin asked in confusion: "Don't her two brothers know that it was Xinyu who wanted to break off the engagement? Is Tao Yong just doing this to please Xinyu?"

Yu Meitong believes that Shi Xinyu's two brothers did not know about this, otherwise they would not have beaten him. After all, the main responsibility for this matter lies with Shi Xinyu: "Her two brothers beat her to their heart's content, but it will be difficult for Xinyu to get back together in the future."

Lu Jiaxin asked, "Why do you think Xinyu would want to get back together?"

Yu Meitong smiled bitterly and said, "They have been in love for six years. During these six years, Tao Yong treated her very well and tolerated her temper and immaturity. She is now obsessed with a dead end and is afraid of life after marriage. When she calms down, she will definitely want to save the relationship."

Lu Jiaxin said helplessly: "Once the engagement is cancelled, no matter if her two brothers did anything or not, there will be no turning back. Marriage is not a joke, and Tao Yong has to save face."

"Alas, Xinyu is so ignorant."

Lu Jiaxin felt that Shi Xinyu had it too easy, so she did things as she pleased without considering the consequences or whether she could bear them.

"She is 27 years old, not 27 months old. She should be responsible for her actions. Even if she regrets it, she can only digest and bear it slowly."

Yu Meitong sighed and changed the subject: "She called me and said she wanted to sell the coffee shop to me, and said she could pay me later if the money was not enough. Her coffee shop makes tens of thousands of dollars in profit every month, and I want to buy it."

Lu Jiaxin thought she could take over the business: "You know a lot about coffee, and you often go to her shop, so you're familiar with how it works. If you take over the business, you'll have an extra income."

Yu Meitong wanted to buy it, but she didn't want to owe Shi Xinyu money: "Jia Xin, the coffee shop belongs to Xinyu. I don't have to worry about the landlord not renting it or raising the rent randomly after I buy it."

"She only charged 600,000 yuan for the transfer, which includes two years' rent. I have saved 120,000 yuan myself. Can you lend me 500,000 yuan? Don't worry, I will return the money to you within a week."

It is really amazing that he has saved up 120,000 yuan in such a short time even though he has to pay off the mortgages for three houses.

Lu Jiaxin agreed to lend the money, but she still had to say: "Don't be too frugal. Life is only a few decades long and it will pass in the blink of an eye. If you treat yourself badly, you will regret it when you are old."

Yu Meitong didn't feel that she was being treated unfairly. She had breakfast and dinner at home from Monday to Friday, which were nutritious and hygienic. She had lunch at the company and went home to read books and read the news at night. On weekends, she would make appointments with Lu Jiaxin or colleagues and friends to play ball, climb mountains or go shopping. Every day was very fulfilling.

She knew that Lu Jiaxin felt sorry for her. Yu Meitong said, "Jiaxin, many of my colleagues have families of five or six people living in houses of 500 to 600 square feet. Some can't even afford to buy a house and can only apply for low-rent housing. Compared to them, I am already very happy."

She now lives in a 500-square-foot house with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. She can't compare with Lu Jiaxin, but compared with the people around her, she is a rich woman. Her colleagues don't know how much they envy her!
Lu Jiaxin believes that people who know how to be content will be very happy, and if they are not content, no matter how much they have, they will not be happy. She smiled and asked, "Do you have time this weekend? Let's go hiking."

"No problem." Yu Meitong has also fallen in love with sports, but she is very frugal now. She never goes to play tennis or golf alone, which costs money. She only goes when Lu Jiaxin or other friends invite her. If she has nothing to do on weekdays or weekends, she will invite a few friends to go cycling or hiking, which is both environmentally friendly and saves money.

Yu Meitong kept her word and returned the 500,000 yuan to Lu Jiaxin five days later. Lu Jiaxin asked, "Where did you get so much money in such a short time? Did you sell the jewelry you had left?"

Yu Meitong said cheerfully, "I took a few pieces of jewelry to pawn and got 100,000 yuan. The remaining 400,000 yuan was funded by my mother. The coffee shop is profitable, I can redeem the jewelry in two or three months."

"Hey, didn't your mother use all her money to support your brother? Why is she so generous to you now?"

Yu Meitong smiled and said, "Since my brother's wife contradicted my mother last time and my brother sided with his wife, my mother no longer subsidized him. Then she gave me the advantage and told me to tell her if I have any problems in the future. My father doesn't care, but she does."

Lu Jiaxin felt that Yu's mother still loved her daughter, but she still put her husband and son first: "Then you should coax your mother more and let her give you all her private property."

Yu Meitong laughed: "I want to, but I can only think about it. It's impossible for me to give it all to you. But it's good to be able to save a little. I will give it to them anyway, and they will never be ungrateful. I will also accompany her shopping and buy her nourishing products that are good for her body."

The more people there are hiking, the more fun it is. Lu Jiaxin also invited Zong Shimeng to go hiking, and then she invited Hu Huihui to go hiking. So when we went hiking on weekends, there were still four of us.

The four of them were tired from walking, so they sat down under a big tree to rest. They naturally talked about the teacher's thoughts. Zong Shimeng said, "Zhi Feng asked me to introduce a good one to Tao Yong. Alas, I just broke up with my girlfriend who I was going to marry, so how can I get involved in another relationship so quickly?"

So she didn't agree to this matter, thinking that Tao Yong should wait a while before making a decision. It would be unfair to introduce the girl to him without a plan. Of course, she also had another hidden thought, that is, if Tao Yong didn't find a new one, Shi Xinyu still had a chance to come back.

Yu Meitong said: "If you don't love someone, you will find someone new soon. If you love someone, you will need some time to calm down after breaking up."

For example, Fu Ye didn't love her, so he found another one right after breaking off the engagement, and then got engaged as quickly as possible. And what about her? It took her almost a year to come out of it completely.

Lu Jiaxin changed the subject, saying that she lacked exercise and would need to exercise more in the future. She should not talk about unhappy things to avoid affecting her mood.

What Lu Jiaxin didn't expect was that Nie Zhan told her about this matter when he came back in the evening: "Tao Yong drank a lot of wine today. When he was half drunk and half awake, he said that Shi Xinyu called him in the afternoon and said she was sick."

Lu Jiaxin was stunned: "It's only been a short time and you're already regretting it?"

When she said she was sick, she just wanted Tao Yong to come and see her. This was a sign of weakness and also a tactful way of saying she regretted her decision.

Nie Zhan shook his head to indicate that he was not sure: "I don't know what Shi Xinyu is thinking, but when Tao Yong was drinking with us tonight, he said that he would not get back together because he was too tired."

She would quarrel and break up whenever she was unhappy, and he had to coax her every time. After six years, she was still like a child who had not grown up. He was really tired. During this period after the divorce, he felt very relaxed and comfortable, so he didn't want to look back.

Lu Jiaxin was not surprised and said, "If you don't cherish it when you have it, it will be too late to regret it when you lose it."
