…

Xie Ailian and Wang Dahai felt mixed emotions after listening to Wang Sibing's account of how he borrowed money today.

Wang Sibing didn't think it was a big deal.

"Mom, don't overthink it. There's no rule that says you have to lend money to your brothers... Besides, I'm quite surprised by this situation.

Everyone knows the situation of each family. The second and third brothers have done their best, and the eldest brother does have a heavier burden.

Don't worry, I won't and have no right to blame Big Brother."

Wang Sibing was afraid that Xie Ailian would get stuck in a rut, so he couldn't help but give her some advice.

Everything I said was true.

As an old man, I always want to have many children and grandchildren, and for everyone to love each other and live in harmony.

Even if you know the situation, you can't help but have some fantasies, which is understandable.

So, although it was true that he was short of money, he didn't want to borrow from his three brothers. He just followed the wishes of the two elders and took advantage of this opportunity to save himself some trouble.

"Okay, I know. It's actually better than I thought." Xie Ailian waved her hand, as if to shoo away a fly. "They borrowed 900 yuan, and we can provide 700 yuan. Isn't that enough?"

She won't dwell on trivial matters, huh.

Wang Sibing pretended to hesitate before saying, "You should keep two hundred, don't spend it all... It's just for New Year's expenses and the trip to Beijing after the New Year. You might need to buy a few more things, so fifteen hundred is enough."

"OK!"

Xie Ailian slapped her thigh and went into the house to get the money.

The next day.

Wang Sibing went to the city, met and chatted with Lian Hong, and bought a train ticket to Beijing.

When I came back from the city, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. I found that my father-in-law and mother-in-law had come to bring me money.

“…”

Just yesterday, the news that he went home to borrow money spread from Hebian Village, across the commune, and even to Yier Village?!

Wang Sibing could never have imagined that there was a kind-hearted person who "kindly" informed Accountant Qiao.

So, the Qiao family held a meeting overnight. This morning, the old couple went to the Rural Credit Cooperative to withdraw 1,000 yuan and rushed to the county town.

Xie Ailian and Wang Dahai couldn't refuse the old man's invitation, let alone accept the money directly. They just hoped that Wang Sibing would come back soon...

"Dad, Mom, this is what happened..." Wang Sibing felt a little embarrassed and quickly told the whole story.

After hearing the whole story, Mr. and Mrs. Accountant Qiao said, “……!”

OK! They worried all night.

I spent 15,000 yuan to buy a house in Beijing, and I saved up enough money. I borrowed money to buy things, celebrate the New Year, and move.

"You guys...are so brave! You've never even been to a school before. What a waste of your brain."

In the end, Accountant Qiao patted Wang Sibing's shoulder with emotion.

Wang Sibing gave a bitter laugh. "Dad, when it comes to the fact that I never went to school, I'm really upset. I didn't dare tell you before. But after we got married, Xiao Qiao insisted on me teaching her. Last year and the year before last, she was preparing to take the college entrance exam, so I had to accompany her whenever I was home..."

Accountant Qiao refused to accept this complaint. "She wasn't like this before at her parents' house. She must have been influenced by your eldest niece."

"This... might really be the case." Wang Sibing found that what his father-in-law said seemed to be right.

Qiao's mother was speechless about the father-in-law and son-in-law, and directly stuffed a thousand yuan into Wang Sibing's pocket.

"Take this thousand. Buying a house in Beijing is such a big deal. Consider it our contribution."

Accountant Qiao quickly said, "Yes, yes, take it! Don't worry, we're going to tell your brothers-in-law about this money. It's a good idea, so don't worry about it."

They won't have any objections... To be honest, they don't have any reason to object. You and Li Yatou usually give us a lot of filial piety.

Always buying this and that, and during festivals, giving this and that as gifts, and even giving money...

In short, you have to take this money. Although you have collected a sum of money, having more money in hand will help you not to be hesitant in doing things.

Another thing is, you guys are used to spending money lavishly, so you don't have to live a tight life all of a sudden, right?"

Having said that, Wang Sibing grinned and took the money.

"Okay! I won't be shy with my parents. To be honest, I only managed to get the money together almost yesterday. Otherwise, I would have definitely gone to Otoko Village today."

This is certainly not true, but the attitude is well expressed.

Accountant Qiao patted Wang Sibing on the shoulder and smiled happily, "You kid! You are really good at talking, and I like to listen."

Wang Sibing took the opportunity to attack the snake, "Dad, Mom, after the New Year, why don't you go to Beijing together? I know you don't want to stay for long, so just go for a while, it can be considered as a gathering, lively and add more vitality to the house.

Maybe I have to help buy some things.

By then, Xiao Qiao and my eldest niece will have no time for school, and I will definitely be busy at the factory, so you four elders will have to take care of Xiao Dudu and sort it out slowly..."

"this……"

How could they refuse this? Accountant Qiao and his wife hesitated.

If you want to go for fun, then you definitely can't go. Train tickets are so expensive.

But, if the young people say they don’t have time and are asked to help settle and tidy up the house, can they refuse?

Mother Qiao looked at her old man. She made the decisions on major matters in their family, while the old man made the decisions on minor matters. It was hard to say whether the matter was major or minor, but she felt that this matter was minor and the old man had the final say.

"Okay!" Accountant Qiao slapped his thigh and agreed. "Let's enjoy the blessing of our daughter and son-in-law and go see the capital too."

"Oh, that's great." Xie Ailian immediately took Qiao's mother's hand happily, "To be honest, I'm a little scared of living in Beijing. I'm glad you can go."

This is absolutely true.

Last night she forced Wang Dahai to have a "bedside chat" again. One of the main topics was that she had to find a vegetable market and wondered if she could bargain when buying vegetables, blah blah.

At this moment, the two mothers-in-law had a lively discussion on the topic of buying groceries.

Wang Dahai and Accountant Qiao talked about the four plots of land in the yard where they planted flowers, plants and vegetables.

Wang Sibing, holding a thousand yuan, unexpectedly made eye contact with Wang Chaohui, and there was an inexplicable feeling of silence between the father and son.

Accountant Qiao and his wife stayed overnight and returned to the village the next day.

Wang Sibing went to the bus station with them, and then returned to Beijing to take a train to the city.

There were more buses going to the city, so Wang Sibing got on first, and Accountant Qiao and his wife had to wait for a while.

"Is that Erju?" A shuttle bus arrived. Accountant Qiao had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that one of the people getting off was Wang Erju.

When Qiao's mother saw it, she realized it was true. "I'm afraid she's heard about the fourth son going home to borrow money..."

She pulled Accountant Qiao and said, "Let's go. We can't pretend we didn't see anything. Go say hello."

"Since the fourth brother told others that he was renting a house, let's not expose it. It's the same for everyone, including those at home." Accountant Qiao suddenly mentioned her.

"...I know! Do I need you to remind me?" Qiao's mother curled her lips.

But I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. Oh, I almost did something stupid. Fortunately, the old man reminded me.
