“It’s really not easy. One of my relatives borrowed fifty yuan from my family to build a house. They’ve been borrowing it for three years now and have moved into the new house. Their new house has almost turned into an old house now. But every time I asked him to return the money, he would always cry out for being poor, which made me so mad and frustrated.” 

“A relative of mine is also like this. His wife had a serious illness, so he borrowed 50 yuan for the medical treatment. When his wife recovered, she gave birth to two children, and their family was doing great. But he had never mentioned repaying the 50 yuan, and I also didn’t ask for it to be returned. Just consider it as saving a life and accumulating good deeds!” 

Everyone started talking about their own frustrating experiences, and it seemed like almost every family had a few shameless relatives who borrowed money and never paid it back. 

The topic gradually went further and further away. Chu Qiao was happy that these people diverted their attention and stopped staring at her family’s 60,000 yuan all day long. 

But her thought was still too naive. 60,000 yuan would still be a significant sum even in a few decades later, let alone now. 

With the average salary at the machine tool factory not even reaching 100 yuan, 60,000 yuan was equivalent to the money they had worked for fifty years without spending a penny. 

So there was no way people wouldn’t pay attention to it.

“Xiao Chu, your Chief Gu is really persevering. He still insists on collecting the debts no matter what it takes!” The tone of the person who spoke was not quite right, it was half joking, and also half sarcastic, anyway it was definitely not friendly. 

Chu Qiao smiled faintly and said, “I have advised him to give up a long time ago, but Gu Ye said that the factory is currently facing difficulties. And if he could recover this money back, everyone could receive the benefits as well. In fact, 60,000 yuan isn’t much use to us. You might not know about this, but my father-in-law has a very high pension, which is several hundred yuan. Gu Ye is the youngest son, and my father-in-law loves him the most. For our wedding, my father-in-law gave us 2,000 yuan at once, so that we can have a lively celebration. He also said that if that wasn’t enough, we could still ask him for more!” 

Everyone gasped in shock. Previously, they had only heard that Gu Ye has a good family background, but they never expected that it would be that much prestigious. 

A pension of several hundred yuan meant that he was a retired high leader. And to give 2,000 yuan just for a wedding? They all wished they had such a generous father-in-law!

“Xiao Chu, your father-in-law is so nice!” 

Chu Qiao nodded without hesitation and said, “My father-in-law also cares for me because of Gu Ye. Who let my husband be his youngest son? If he knew how much Gu Ye had suffered to collect that debt for the factory, he would definitely scold him. After all, no one in the family would dare to give Gu Ye any trouble!”  

Gu Jianshe, who had just happened to be back from work, overheard Chu Qiao’s nonsense in the hallway and couldn’t stop sneering. 

This woman was just talking nonsense with her eyes open, where did she get the nerve to say that?

Gu Ye has been a pitiful child in the family since he was young, as anyone could bully him. 

Hmph, as the eldest grandson, Gu Jianshe had always held the highest status. 

But he couldn’t argue with Chu Qiao in public, so he could only listen to her nonsense.

“There’s an old saying, the youngest child and the eldest grandson are always the apple of the elder’s eye. With Chief Gu’s temper, it’s obvious that he was favored in the family. So it was really hard for him to endure all of these grievances, it was really hard on him ah!” 

“Thanks to Chief Gu, we all can receive a good benefit this year!” 

Everyone began to feel a bit ashamed. How could they have the nerve to feel envious of Chief Gu?

If it weren’t for Chief Gu enduring humiliation and countless grievances to get back this much money, how could they have had a good year?

And besides, Chief Gu had never lacked money since he was a child and didn’t care about the 60,000 yuan. 

He wasn’t doing it for personal gain, he was doing it for the benefit of the entire factory. 

For such selfless dedication of serving the public wholeheartedly, only Chief Gu could do that.

They felt deeply ashamed of themselves!
