"Forget it. Forget it. I'm all alone, while they have several mouths to feed, and they have tough lives. I'll just treat it as me helping her. Besides, it's not like they won't return me the money… Yes, she did say that she would repay me next month," Lame Ma mumbled.
However, a month quickly passed. Lame Ma waited a few days but saw no sign of Ma Jiangping. He didn't even receive a phone call from her.
Although Lame Ma didn't depend on the twenty thousand yuan to live, it was ultimately his hard-earned money. If he'd agreed to give it away from the beginning, that would be fine since it would have been voluntary. However, he had only lent it to them, so how could he act as if it had never existed?
After waiting another two days, Lame Ma finally managed to get through to her on the phone. Before he even said a word, Ma Jiangping droned on about the weather, family, and everything under the sky except the matter of repayment!
