Chapter 312 Where Do You Get So Much Money?
Xia Qiu sent Chu Xue to the gate and said, "Be careful on the road."
Chu Xue nodded at her: "The Qiu family will have to live in peace these days, you just stay in the house."
Xia Qiu understood what her sister meant: "I understand."
After watching his sister walk away, Xia Qiu returned to his room.
Qiu Shaofeng followed his wife into the house. The reason he sent her to the front door and did not go out again was that he wanted to give his wife and sister-in-law some time to talk alone.
Seeing him come in, Xia Qiu spoke up, "Before Chuxue was here, I didn't have the nerve to ask about Shaocheng's wedding banquet money. What did Dad and the others say?"
Qiu Shaofeng was a little thirsty, but he did not touch the cucumbers, tomatoes and melons on the table. Instead, he picked up the water in the cup and drank it in one gulp.
After wiping the water from the corner of his mouth, he said, "Although grandma has been the housekeeper these years, Mom also goes to the mountains to collect some mountain products in autumn to exchange for money. However, I'm afraid it won't be enough for Shaocheng to hold a banquet, so I have to find a good family to borrow some money from."
Since she got married, her father-in-law and mother-in-law have been very good to her. After a little consideration, Xia Qiu said, "Shaofeng, how much is left?"
Qiu Shaofeng smiled and sat opposite her: "Don't worry, Dad will find a way."
Xia Qiu patted the hand he extended and said, "I'm asking you a question."
Seeing his wife's serious expression, Qiu Shaofeng gave up the idea of joking and coughed lightly: "I'm afraid I'll have to go out and borrow another thirty or forty yuan."
Xia Qiu stood up and went to the cabinet, opened the small dressing box that came with her as a dowry, took out forty yuan from it, turned around and handed it to Qiu Shaofeng: "Give this money to Dad and lend it to him for a while, and then return it to me after you receive the gift money."
Qiu Shaofeng was stunned: "Where did you get so much money?"
Xia Qiu looked at the money in his hand and said, "Chu Xue came and stuffed it into my hand before. She said it was my family's dowry money and asked me to keep it just in case.
"With the current situation at home, don't let them go out to borrow money. It's easy to pay back the money later, but it's hard to repay the debt of gratitude."
Qiu Shaofeng lowered his head and rubbed his eyes with one finger, forcing back the wetness that was about to overflow: "I'll call them over."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the room, fearing that he would lose his composure if he left a step later.
Mother Qiu was about to go out to find someone to borrow money when Qiu Shaofeng called her, "Mom, where's my dad?"
Mother Qiu didn't notice anything was wrong with Qiu Shaofeng. She walked out on her own and replied, "Inside the house."
Qiu Shaofeng quickly said, "Mom, don't go out yet. Xia Qiu wants to talk to you about something."
Then he walked towards the house where his parents lived and said, "Dad, come over to our house. I have something to tell you."
Father Qiu was about to go out when he heard his eldest son ask, "What's the matter?"
He was a little nervous, fearing that his eldest son and his wife would object to him lending money to his younger son to prepare a banquet, after all, it involved paying back the money.
After Mother Qiu entered the room, she asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Qiu Shaofeng adjusted his mood now: "Xia Qiu feels sorry for you and doesn't want you to go out and ask others to borrow money. It just so happens that my Yue family gave her a dowry in private a few days ago. She said she would first lend it to her family to hold a banquet for Shaocheng, and then return it to her after receiving the gift money."
Father and Mother Qiu looked at each other. They didn't expect Xia Qiu to take out her dowry at this time, and they didn't expect that her in-laws would actually give her more dowry.
Xia Qiu handed over the forty yuan in his hand: "Mom, take this money, so you don't have to go out and borrow from door to door."
Mother Qiu was really touched: "Xia Qiu, I won't be polite with you. I will return the money to you as soon as I receive the gift money the day after tomorrow. If it's not enough, I will return your money as soon as I have money at home."
Father Qiu also said, "Old man, thank you so much this time."
