Sure enough, Hu Lili's heart finally settled down.
It turned out that he was waiting for her here!
But in a moment, Hu Lili felt a little strange. Chen Qiushu was detained, so why did Li Xiang, the second sister-in-law, ask her to borrow money?
Shouldn't it be Li Xiaoqin or Old Man Shen who should speak?
Hu Lili's eyes involuntarily shuttled back and forth between Li Xiang and Li Xiaoqin.
Is it possible that Chen Qiushu and Li Xiang are having an affair?
This discovery shocked Hu Lili so much that she covered her mouth with her hands.
Wang Huilian was a little impatient when she saw Hu Lili's constant startling. She couldn't help but ask her loudly, "Hu Zhiqing, are you going to lend it to me or not?"
Hu Lili was startled and frowned and retorted: "Auntie, why are you shouting so loudly? If I don't lend it to you, are you going to eat me?"
Wang Huilian was about to open her mouth to scold Hu Lili, but was stopped in time by Old Man Shen.
"No, no, what are you thinking, Hu Zhiqing? Our family really can't raise enough money now. When I think of your uncle Qiu Shu suffering in there, my heart is like being cut in two."
"You said there are so many families, and it's fate that we live together. If Hu Zhiqing can help us get through this difficult time, then in the future in Dongliang Village, I, Old Shen, will protect you and ensure that you will not suffer any loss. What do you think?"
If the Shen family forced her to borrow money, Hu Lili really didn't want to lend it.
How can you borrow money from someone you’ve just met for a few days?
But just now, Old Man Shen said that he could help her in the future, which really made Hu Lili very excited.
Although she had never done farm work, she knew that work in the fields was not easy.
If the Shen family can help her when she works in the fields in the future, it is not impossible to lend her the money.
But she couldn't let the Shen family borrow it so easily, otherwise they would think she had a lot of money!
Hu Lili hesitated for a long time before she said, "My mother gave me some money when I came here, but it wasn't much. Besides, I spent a lot on the way, so I really don't have much left."
"Tell me how much you want to borrow first. I don't have a lot if you tell me first. I'm not lying to you, I really don't have it."
Li Xiaoqin couldn't help herself at this time, and quickly said: "3 yuan, just 3 yuan will do."
3 yuan?
When Hu Lili heard this, she immediately felt relieved.
How much money did she think the Shen family wanted to borrow?
He invited her to dinner, surrounded her, and finally only lent her 3 dollars?
It really is a rural old-fashioned thing!!!
Although Hu Lili thought so in her heart, she still showed an embarrassed look on her face.
"If I lend it to you, I'll have almost no money left!"
When Old Man Shen heard this, he thought, this is a possible solution!
I quickly coaxed her, "We'll pay you back as soon as possible. In a few days, you'll be able to have chicks. When we have enough eggs, we'll give you all the money from selling the eggs."
What?
When Hu Lili heard this, she immediately became unwilling.
Do I have to raise chicks first, grow them up, and then save the eggs and sell them to pay her back?
Then she has to wait until the next year?
Hu Lili shook her head and waved her hands: "No, no, that's too slow. I can only lend it to you for 2 or 3 months at most."
"When we move to our new accommodation, we'll have to buy pots and pans and everything, and I'll have to use the money myself!"
When he heard that he could only borrow the money for 2 or 3 months, Old Man Shen felt a little embarrassed.
With the current situation at home, we won’t be able to earn 3 yuan in two or three months.
But now is an emergency, so I'd better borrow the money first. If I delay paying it back, what can Hu Lili do?
"Then... then it will be three months. It's settled."
Hu Lili responded very readily: "Okay, then three months, but I have a condition."
Old Man Shen: "What are the conditions? Tell me."
Hu Lili curled her lips and said, "We need to write a written agreement, and then each of you needs to put your fingerprints on it. We also need to find a witness. I suggest that we find the village chief as the witness!"
Old Man Shen frowned and said, "No need to be so troublesome, right? We in the countryside never write any documents when we borrow money."
Hu Lili smiled like a little fox: "Grandpa Shen, you also said that this is your village. In our place, no matter who borrows money, they have to write a receipt. Otherwise, if they don't admit it later, where can they go to seek justice?"
Wang Huilian curled her lips and muttered quietly, "You city people really don't have much humanity, do you?"
Hu Lili pretended not to hear Wang Huilian's ridicule.
In fact, the saying that city people have to write a receipt when borrowing money is purely made up by Hu Lili.
Anyway, these rough guys will never be able to go to the city in their entire lives, so why can't they make up whatever the city people are like?
Old man Shen was a little hesitant. He didn't expect that he would have to go to Liu Changshan to borrow money from Hu Lili.
But then I thought, if I borrow from others, I might have to borrow from several people to get the three dollars together.
It is better to owe one person than to owe many people.
Moreover, Hu Lili, an educated youth who came from far away and had no relatives or friends here, was easier to control.
So Old Man Shen thought about it and nodded: "Okay, let's write a document. Dali, go call your Grandpa Chang over and ask him to bring paper and pen."
Next, Wang Huilian and her two sisters-in-law cleared the dishes and plates on the table, wiped the table clean, and waited for Liu Changshan to come.
After a long while, Liu Changshan finally arrived at the Shen family under the leadership of Shen Liming.
Liu Changshan was actually very unwilling in his heart.
He had gone to the Shen family many times this winter, and every time was bad.
After entering the house, he greeted Old Man Shen first, and then asked him: "Why did you call me here this time?"
Old Man Shen: "I want you to be a witness. I want to borrow 3 yuan from Hu Zhiqing. She must be a little worried, so she insisted on writing a receipt and asked you to be a witness. I have no choice but to ask you to come here."
Liu Changshan was a little surprised: "Borrow money? What for? Oh, is it because of Zhao Changgui's matter?"
The last time he brought the head of Zhaojiawan Village here, when they left, they asked the Shen family to pay 20 yuan as compensation.
Could it be that the Shen family really managed to collect 20 yuan?
When talking about the reason for borrowing money, Old Man Shen felt a little embarrassed and could only laugh it off.
Then Liu Changshan turned to Hu Lili and asked, "Hu Zhiqing, are you willing to lend money to the Shen family?"
Liu Changshan was actually a little worried that the Shen family was forcing Hu Zhiqing to lend them money!
But unexpectedly, Hu Lili said to Liu Changshan with a smile: "Yes, I am willing to do this. I will read it to you later. Let's write a receipt so that we can have a proof in the future."
Since both parties had already agreed on it, Liu Changshan didn't intend to be a bad guy anymore. He took out paper and pen from his arms, spread them on the table, and prepared to write the IOU while looking at Hu Lili.
