Peng Cuiying felt very wronged.

She glared at Jiang Qiaoqiao with eyes full of resentment and disgust, and quickly followed Jiang Jiahua.

Jiang Jiahua walked fast, and it took her quite a while to catch up.

"Old Jiang, are you really going to lend money to that brat to pay off her debts? What about the boss...?"

Peng Cuiying was shocked to think that the money to buy a house for her eldest son was still nowhere to be found. The family had already paid off Ranran's high-interest loan, and now they still had to pay off that wretched girl Jiang Qiaoqiao.

She couldn't help but want to sit down and wail.

What kind of terrible things has she done?!

The daughters I raised, the daughters I gave birth to, they're all like debt collectors!

Jiang Jiahua frowned, glaring at Peng Cuiying through gritted teeth. If it weren't for their decades-long marriage, he would have really wanted to beat this stupid woman to death!

If she hadn't been so impatient, why would Jiang Qiaoqiao have given them such a difficult problem?

Seeing that she still had the nerve to cry, he couldn't help but sternly rebuke her, "Shut up! You still have the nerve to cry? Do you know how much Huo Beixiao spent to buy that cement factory? More than ten thousand!"

I've inquired; even Huo Yuanshan didn't know the buyer was his son before the deal was made. With so much money, they didn't even borrow from Huo Yuanshan. Do you think they would borrow 2,500 yuan at exorbitant interest rates?

Peng Cuiying rolled her eyes, then realized what was going on. "You mean, that brat Jiang Qiaoqiao deliberately set up this death to test us?"

Jiang Jiahua nodded firmly, "Okay. Go back and borrow the money quickly, and give her two thousand five hundred yuan."

"What if they really do owe this money to loan sharks?" Peng Cuiying was still a little hesitant.

Two thousand five hundred yuan is not a small amount.

Even if all three members of their family work, they can only save a maximum of 500 yuan a year.

Now the eldest son needs to buy a house and get married, and even if they don't have to worry about the expenses of the second son's wedding, the third son doesn't even have a girlfriend yet.

There are still many places where we'll need to spend money later.

Businesses are not doing very well these days.

What if Huo Beixiao buys the cement factory and it doesn't run well, resulting in losses, and Jiang Qiaoqiao doesn't repay their money? Then they...

Jiang Jiahua's face was somber; he actually had this concern as well.

After a long silence, he unconsciously gritted his teeth. "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!"

The eldest son is still 10,000 yuan short of buying a house in Beicheng, a sum they can't possibly scrape together no matter how hard they try.

But we can still scrape together 2,500 yuan.

If you can gain Jiang Qiaoqiao's trust with 2,500 yuan, it will be much easier to get her to hand over the 10,000 yuan.

Although it's possible that Jiang Qiaoqiao really does owe money, and once they've given it away, they can't get it back.

But returns are always proportional to risks.

"Qiaoqiao, take this money."

As soon as Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying left, Lin Xiaohui took out a cloth bag and stuffed the neatly wrapped bag into Jiang Qiaoqiao's hands.

Jiang Qiaoqiao was puzzled and quickly stopped Lin Xiaohui from putting money in her hand. "Mom, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Yang Jianguo, Zheng Yulan, and even Zhou Yang brought her the few coins they had on them.

Yang Jianguo said confidently, "Qiaoqiao, take this money first. Pay back as much as you can to the loan sharks. Our duck products shop is doing well, and we'll earn back this money quickly. Don't worry."

Zhou Yang nodded emphatically, "Yes, Sister Qiao, Brother Jianguo is right. Starting tomorrow, I'll set up my stall an hour earlier every day. If I sell more clothes, I can pay you back the money faster."

Even Zhou Ling'er wiped away her tears and said in her childish voice, "Ling'er won't go to school anymore, and Ling'er won't spend any more money in the future."

Xiao Guoqing tugged at Zheng Yulan's sleeve, "Mom, I'm not going to study anymore. Let's save the money and pay back Aunt Qiaoqiao first."

Jiang Qiaoqiao was both amused and exasperated.

She only said that to Jiang Jiahua and his wife to appease them.

Of course, if they really do manage to borrow the money for her, she will still acknowledge them as her parents, and she will continue to fulfill their requests as long as they don't make excessive demands.

Jiang Qiaoqiao told everyone the truth.

Lin Xiaohui was thinking a lot and still somewhat disbelieving. She looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao suspiciously and said, "Qiaoqiao, are you telling the truth? You're not lying to Mom? Let me tell you, loan shark money is no joke. If you really borrow it, you have to tell Mom the truth so we can find a way to pay it back quickly. Otherwise, the interest will snowball and drive people crazy!"

Lin Xiaohui also shared her own experience, saying that someone in her village borrowed five yuan at high interest rates to buy food during a difficult period. Later, unable to repay the money, he was driven to suicide by the loan sharks by them.

Looking at Lin Xiaohui's terrified face, Jiang Qiaoqiao felt a little guilty. "Mom, I'm sorry, I made you worry. But it really isn't true. You can ask Beixiao if you don't believe me."

Lin Xiaohui then looked at Huo Beixiao and said, "Beixiao, you're a good boy, you can't team up with Qiaoqiao to lie to me."

"Mom, don't worry, Qiaoqiao didn't lie to you. We don't owe any money."

Lin Xiaohui was relieved after receiving confirmation from Huo Beixiao.

Jiang Qiaoqiao pushed the cloth bag containing Lin Xiaohui's money back to her, saying, "Mom, keep this money safe and save it for your older brother to find a wife. Beixiao and I don't need money right now, so you don't need to worry about us."

When the topic of finding a wife for Yang Jianguo came up, a hint of sadness flashed across Lin Xiaohui's eyes.

Yang Jianguo is actually quite good-looking, tall and strong. Although his skin is a bit dark, he is very strong and a good worker.

In the countryside, a young man like this should have an easy time finding a wife.

But their family suffered a disaster that year. When they were rebuilding their house, the government provided some subsidies, but they also had to borrow a lot of money themselves.
