Anyway, the two became acquainted through their bickering and eventually got to know each other.
As for the money owed on the IOU, it still hasn't been paid off because Huang Yingying really couldn't find the money to repay it. His wife kept a tight grip on their finances, and he was afraid of her, so he could only seize opportunities to sneak a few bags of Spirit Rice to pay Wu Jinliang back.
Slowly paying off the debt with goods was fine too. Wu Jinliang was okay with it; he just couldn't eat it all himself, so he sent some to the library. However, he couldn't keep sending rice there, or it would be hard to explain the source, so he kept a lot of Spirit Rice in his storage bag.
Through this back-and-forth exchange and their shared hobbies, they became closer.
At this moment, seeing the old guy roaming outside during mealtime, Wu Jinliang was somewhat surprised. He wasn't afraid of being yelled at by the tigress.
