Chen Chunshu said with a sullen face: "Why are you looking at me? Take out the money! Do you want me to go to jail too?"
Wang Huilian pouted after being scolded, rolled her eyes at Chen Chunshu, and turned to go to the west room.
After a long time, he threw a handful of banknotes on the kang and said, "Count them. They are all here."
Now, after working hard for most of my life, I am left alone again.
It was impossible for her to not be angry. Wang Huilian felt as if half of her heart had been dug out.
Old man Shen picked up the money on the kang and counted it. It was indeed the money he had given to the eldest brother and his wife.
But it was only 5 yuan, 7 yuan short of the 12 yuan that Zhao Changgui asked for!
At this time, Old Man Shen did not directly target Li Xiaoqin. Instead, he took the key from his waist, opened the cabinet, fumbled inside for a long time, and finally pulled out a cloth bag.
Then he opened it layer by layer in front of everyone in the room.
There were several bills inside, and others couldn't tell what they were, but they could still see the money.
Old man Shen took out all the money and counted it, a total of 3.8 yuan.
He had saved this money bit by bit. When his third son got married and spent money, he was reluctant to take it out. He just wanted to save more so that he could use it to control his sons when he could no longer work.
All the money added together was less than 9 yuan, still 3 yuan short.
At this time, Old Man Shen finally looked at Li Xiaoqin and said, "Xiaoqin, you see, we are still short of 3 yuan. Why don't you go back to your parents' house and talk to them about borrowing a few yuan for emergency?"
"What?" Li Xiaoqin didn't react for a moment.
When she came to her senses, she realized that Old Man Shen actually asked her to go back to her parents' home to borrow money.
Let’s not talk about whether her parents can lend it to her. Even if they do, won’t she and Shen Qiushu still have to pay it back in the future?
And the reason why Old Man Shen asked her to go back to her parents' home to borrow money was probably because he was thinking of getting the betrothal money, right?
Li Xiaoqin figured out the key here, and her face suddenly looked a little ugly.
She didn't expect that even now, the old man from the Shen family was still playing tricks on her.
If we need to go back to my parents' home to borrow money, it should be my sister-in-law Wang Huilian who should go back to her parents' home to borrow money!
Li Xiaoqin lowered her eyelids and spoke in a cold voice: "My parents won't agree to lend it to me, Dad, you should think of other ways!"
Old man Shen still didn't want to give up: "Xiaoqin, Dad doesn't want to think of a solution! But it's New Year's Day, if it's not a real relative, who would lend us money?"
"Go home and talk to your parents. It's just an emergency. I will definitely return it to them soon."
Li Xiaoqin sneered in her heart: Pay it back soon? What will the Shen family use to pay it back then?
Seeing that Old Man Shen was determined to achieve his goal, Li Xiaoqin had no choice but to say, "Then Dad and Big Brother, come with me. When the time comes, write an IOU to my dad, saying that you will pay me back later, and I will go back."
"Ah?" Old man Shen was stunned.
He didn't expect that the third son's wife would come up with such an idea.
How could he go to the Li family to borrow money?
Doesn’t that mean he is inferior to Li Jianbang?
He asked Li Xiaoqin to go back to her parents' home to find a solution. He said that the money was borrowed by Li Xiaoqin and it had nothing to do with their Shen family.
When Li Jianbang and his wife ask for money, they will ask Li Xiaoqin, not the Shen family.
When the time comes, when Li Xiaoqin has no money to pay back, Old Man Shen doesn't believe that her own parents will be able to force her to death?
But unexpectedly, Li Xiaoqin was not stupid either, and she actually wanted him to write an IOU to the boss.
If he wanted to write an IOU, would he have to go and beg Li Jianbang to borrow money?
Old man Shen said to Li Xiaoqin: "You are their daughter. Do you need to write an IOU to your parents when you want to borrow money?"
Li Xiaoqin curled her lips and said, "I am now married to the Shen family, and I am a member of the Shen family. I have no control over our family's money, so how can I pay back the money I borrowed?"
"Besides, if we need to go back to her parents' home, then we should let our sister-in-law go back to her parents' home to borrow money. If she is willing to let our brother go to jail, then our family doesn't have to borrow money at all, okay?"
Li Xiaoqin's few words left Old Man Shen speechless.
It was only then that he realized that the young wife the third son married, although young, was very smart.
Wang Huilian on the other side choked: "I would like to go back, but my parents are gone, who can I borrow from?"
Li Xiaoqin: "Even if your parents are gone, you still have brothers and sisters, right? Are you so unpopular? Even your brothers and sisters are unwilling to lend you money?"
Wang Huilian's eyes widened: "Who do you say has bad popularity? You have bad popularity."
Li Xiaoqin smiled: "I admit that I am not popular! If you are not popular, then go back and borrow some. Why are you trying to bother me here?"
Shen Lao Tu looked at the two people who were about to quarrel again, and felt overwhelmed: "Alright, alright, stop quarreling, you don't have to go back, can I go and borrow it?"
The eldest brother's wife is as stupid as a pig. She gets fooled by what others say.
Speaking of this, Wang Huilian suddenly thought of someone.
She looked at the door with a sly look, then lowered her voice and said to the people in the room, "The educated youth in that room should be rich, right?"
"Coming so far from the big city, her parents should at least give her some money to live on, right? Can we...?"
At the end of her speech, Wang Huilian stretched out her hand and made a grabbing gesture.
Li Xiaoqin was so shocked that she slapped her hand away: "Are you crazy? He is an educated youth. Do you think he is a beggar who is not taken care of?"
"Would you believe it or not? When we old peasants go to the town to file a complaint, no one cares, but when those educated youths go to file a complaint, they get it right?"
Wang Huilian covered the back of her hand in confusion and looked at Li Xiaoqin in confusion: "What are you talking about? I was saying that we can borrow some emergency supplies from Hu Zhiqing first, what are you thinking about?"
When Li Xiaoqin heard this, she felt her legs go weak and she almost fell to the ground.
She thought that this sister-in-law had evil intentions towards Hu Zhiqing and wanted to steal his money?
Li Xiaoqin touched her chest and said, "If you want to borrow it, just borrow it. Why are you doing that? I thought you were going to steal the money."
Wang Huilian rolled her eyes at her and said, "Look at what's going on in your head. Can I be that stupid? She lives in our house. If she loses money, won't she immediately suspect that we stole it?"
Li Xiaoqin didn't listen to her explanation, because in her opinion, this sister-in-law was capable of doing such a stupid thing.
Old Man Shen looked at his three daughters-in-law and asked, "Who among you has a better relationship with Hu Zhiqing?"
Now Wang Huilian and Li Xiaoqin both looked at Li Xiang.
Wang Huilian almost thought Hu Lili was a vixen and made a fuss because Shen Chunshu spoke up for Hu Lili last time.
Since then, every time I saw Hu Lili, she was in a bad mood.
Li Xiaoqin disliked Hu Lili from the very beginning and would not talk to her unless necessary, showing no mercy at all.
As for Li Xiang, since she is an honest person, she usually helps Hu Lili with all the work.
Among the three of them, only Li Xiang and Hu Lili have a pretty good relationship.
