Lin Rui went to the kitchen to help Lin Xiaoxiao, but this did not affect Sun Xiangjun. He continued to stand at the kitchen door and watch the brother and sister busy themselves.

Not to mention, Sun Xiangjun, who usually hates the smell of cooking fumes, now thinks that this smell is particularly pleasant.

He deliberately found a few topics to chat with Lin Xiaoxiao. Lin Xiaoxiao responded at first, but later she felt that what he said was nonsense and simply ignored him.

Lin Rui, on the other hand, was having a very happy chat with Sun Xiangjun.

After a while, Sun Xiangjun was called away by Sun Yingying, and only Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Rui were left in the kitchen.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced outside and saw no one at the kitchen door, so she asked, "Second brother, why is Zhao Xihua here?"

"I was just about to tell you about this." Lin Rui said with a troubled look on his face, "Xihua is here to borrow money. He said that the store is about to open, and the money he has is not enough, so he needs to borrow some from us."

In fact, Lin Rui also understood Zhao Xihua’s current situation. He was in a very difficult situation.

If I don't continue to open the store, all the money I invested will be wasted. If I open it, I will have to borrow money again.

Everyone in the village is a farmer and has a hard time. Who would have so much extra money to lend to Zhao Xihua?

Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"one hundred."

Lin Rui said.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say whether to lend it or not, but just asked curiously: "I saw Lin Nuo's store. The store is not very big, and it won't cost much. Why does it still need a hundred yuan?"

Although Lin Nuo's place has a good location, the store is small and the decoration is simple, so it doesn't cost much.

Besides, she runs a physical store, not a stall. In this case, if she only buys goods from one wholesaler, pays half of the payment and owes the other half, most merchants will agree to it.

"I don't know either." Lin Rui thought for a moment and guessed, "Could it be that the products they sell are particularly expensive?"

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "Zhao Xihua still hasn't told me what they're selling?"

It's just a business, and it's not illegal, so why be so secretive?

Lin Rui shook his head. "He didn't say anything, so I didn't ask. I'll ask later."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded.

Lin Rui seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "Xihua also said that if we are willing, this money can be used as shares and invested in it."

"Did you agree?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

"No." Lin Rui shook his head. "I just wanted to know what you meant."

"We don't do business with them." Lin Xiaoxiao refused bluntly. "Lin Nuo is very cunning. If we partner with them, Lin Nuo will take all our money."

If they become partners, the accounts will be managed by Lin Nuo, and he can make false accounts at will. Not to mention dividing the money, the 300 yuan they have will be wasted.

"I think so too." Fortunately, he didn't agree.

"I was right not to agree." Lin Xiaoxiao said calmly, "They haven't told us what products they're selling yet, and they're asking us if we want to invest. Only they can ask that."

Three hundred yuan is indeed not a lot for them now, but for ordinary people, it is not a small amount at all.

I guess in Zhao Xihua's eyes, he thought it was easy for them to make money, so he asked such a question.

Lin Rui thought about it and felt that what Zhao Xihua did was a bit dishonest. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you think we should lend the money or not?"
