Chapter 244 Wouldn’t it be enough to just ask for the house?
"Borrow money? Mom, what do you mean? My relationship with my second sister-in-law is not good. I won't lend her money if she asks me to borrow money."
Jiang Xinbai replied directly that he and his eldest sister-in-law Li Huifen had been getting along just fine over the years, neither good nor bad. But he and his second sister-in-law Su Qiuyan were not as good as ordinary neighbors, so he was still asking her to borrow money at this time. What a good thing!
Sun Erni sighed when she heard her daughter-in-law say that. "It's up to you whether to lend it or not. I'm just reminding you."
"Mom, come sit down in the living room and tell me what's going on. Is there anything in my second brother's family that needs money?"
Yang Jinsheng held his mother's hand and walked towards the living room. He thought, if it was really a life-threatening matter, he would have to borrow the money.
"Yes, Mom, what's going on?" Jiang Xinbai thought to himself, I haven't heard anything happened at home?
Seeing their curious faces, Sun Erni had to explain, "It's like this. Your second sister-in-law said she liked a yard that should be about the same size as yours. The landlord was in a hurry to sell it, so the couple wanted to buy it, but they didn't have enough money. So they thought of borrowing from us. Anyway, I didn't agree, because I was afraid that your second brother would ask you to borrow money later."
It’s not that Sun Erni doesn’t want her second son to buy a house, but she doesn’t believe that his family only has 2,000 yuan. Who knows, there might be something they don’t know!
Jiang Xinbai understood immediately, they were short of money to buy a house! Of the three brothers in the Yang family, only the second brother's family didn't have their own house, so he was naturally tempted when he saw a suitable one.
"Mom, did you say how much it wants?" Yang Jinsheng was also curious about how much a house could be sold for now. He thought that they had spent more than three hundred yuan on this house, and he didn't know what the price would be now.
Sun Erni stretched out her hand and said, "It's five thousand."
"Five thousand?" Jiang Xinbai and Yang Jinsheng screamed, "Mom, did you hear me right? It really wants five thousand?" The two looked at each other again. Hey, then their house is also worth five thousand?
Sun Erni nodded affirmatively, "It's five thousand. Your second sister-in-law said it herself. I don't know whether it's true or not. She said that the family had saved two thousand and two, and asked us to lend her two thousand and eight. But I think your second sister-in-law's words are exaggerated. How could she have saved only two thousand and two after so many years? She is more frugal than anyone else on weekdays. Anyway, I don't believe that they only have this little money."
Yang Jinsheng shook his head and said with a click of the tongue, "She asked for three thousand right away. Second sister-in-law is really generous. She is sure that you have the money, mom."
"The money your father and I saved is still very useful, so we can't lend it out easily. Anyway, they can't borrow from me, so they will probably come to you, so you can think about it yourself. If you are willing to lend it, then lend it. If you don't want to, then just take it."
Sun Erni thought of the news the old man had told her, and her heart felt warm. She really wanted to keep this money.
…
Su Qiuyan was so anxious about the house issue these days that bubbles appeared on her face. In the end, she had no choice but to flatter herself and prepare to borrow money from the two brothers Yang Jinqiang and Yang Jinsheng.
To show her sincerity, she even prepared a table of delicious food and invited the two families to come over for dinner.
After dinner, Su Qiuyan put the dishes in the kitchen and walked out directly. She winked at her husband and sat aside.
After receiving his wife's look, Yang Jinwei coughed twice and said, "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Third Brother, I really need your help with something today."
Li Huifen curled her lips and thought to herself, I knew this meal would not be delicious, but I hope you want to borrow money, because she has no money to borrow.
Jiang Xinbai and Yang Jinsheng naturally knew what their second brother was going to say, but they pretended to know nothing and watched quietly.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Yang Jinwei suddenly became nervous. He hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly. Su Qiuyan was so anxious that she said directly, "Brother and sister-in-law, third brother, third sister-in-law, your second brother is shy and embarrassed to say it, so let me say it. We want to buy a house, but we are short of money, so we want to borrow from you. We are still short of 2,800 yuan. Please help us!"
Before anyone else could say anything, Li Huifen couldn't hold back and directly refused, "Qiuyan, you always ask for money, and it's always three thousand. How come your family relied on borrowing to buy a house? I don't believe you don't have any money saved."
Su Qiuyan blushed when she was told this. "Sister-in-law, we are thinking of borrowing from you because we don't have enough money. Don't worry, we will write an IOU."
"Why should I be so worried..."
Li Huifen was about to say something when Yang Jinqiang stopped her. He looked at Yang Jinwei apologetically and explained, "Jinwei, it's not that I don't want to help you, but we need money recently. You should also know that there are some rumors from the steel plant, saying that we employees can buy the houses we were allocated with our own money. In this way, the little money that your sister-in-law and I have saved over the years will be spent..."
Yang Jinwei was confused and asked doubtfully: "Brother, I haven't heard of the news you mentioned? Is it fake news? How could it be possible that we would spend money to buy a house..."
Li Huifen stretched out a finger and shook it, "Only employees who have been allocated housing can buy this house. People like you who haven't been allocated housing yet, like Jinqiang, don't have this privilege."
Yang Jinqiang, Su Qiuyan: "..."
At this time, Yang Fugui also said: "Second brother, this should be true. I guess the news will be out in a few days. As long as we spend money, our current house can be written in my and your mother's name, so we have to keep the coffin book we saved for use."
At this time, Yang Jinwei was a little desperate. No one or two people could lend him money, so he really didn't need to buy a house.
Su Qiuyan gritted her teeth and looked at Yang Jinsheng and his wife, "Third brother, you don't plan to buy a house, right? How can you..."
"No, sister-in-law. The house we live in now was bought some time ago, so we don't have any money to lend you..." Yang Jinsheng refused before she could finish.
After being rejected three times in a row, Su Qiuyan looked very unhappy. "Third brother, are you guys trying to fool me? You didn't buy it earlier or later, but you just..."
Hearing this, Xin Bai was unhappy. "Second sister-in-law, listen to what you said. Is it reasonable? Do we need your approval to spend our own money?"
"That's right, Second Sister-in-law, don't think I don't know. You lent all the money in the family to your brother, and now you are bullying our Yang family!"
Yang Jinsheng directly revealed what Su Qiuyan had been trying to hide, and also came up with a solution.
"Brother, I heard that you didn't get the money back when you came to ask for it, right? Let me give you an idea. Your brother-in-law used the money to buy a house, so you have a share of the house after rounding it off. Can't you just ask for the house directly?"
