Old Mrs. He was taken aback, then retorted, "Of course not."
"Mom means that you can farm all the land."
"Just share some of the grain with everyone when the harvest is done."
He said he would only give a little, but in reality he divided it all up, and he himself was not even full.
He Yushen's heart was truly cold.
Old Mrs. He used to say that the land was for him to farm because he was healthy and best suited for farming.
The brothers in the family only need to work to earn their own money.
He helped his brothers farm, but only received a small basket of sweet potatoes, which were shriveled.
He used to not care and was too lazy to argue with them.
Now I just find it laughable.
"Fine, since you won't help me out when I'm in trouble, don't come to me for personal gain when I become successful."
Old Mrs. He panicked.
She quickly grabbed him, "Mom has twenty yuan here, or you can have it all?"
He Yushen didn't believe she was only twenty; she was definitely two hundred.
The women, fearing he might not give them any benefits if he became successful, crowded around him, putting on fake smiles.
"Sixth Brother, we've thought about it, how about we lend you two hundred yuan?"
Anyway, it only costs forty yuan per person. If he becomes rich in the future, I can ask him for four thousand yuan and I'll still make a profit.
Just as He Yushen was about to say something, the landlord arrived.
The landlord was going to raise their rent, but they decided not to renew it.
The landlord felt he had been humiliated, so his tone became harsh.
"He Yushen, are you sure you don't want to rent it?"
"You should know that within a hundred miles, no shop here has a cheaper rent than mine."
"I'll give you one more chance. If you pay the rent for the whole year in one lump sum, I'll give you a ten-dollar discount."
He Yushen looked at his mother, "Mom, why don't you and my brothers help me scrape together some money?"
"If this shop continues to operate, I will repay you in the future."
Old Mrs. He disagreed.
"How much does this cost?"
The landlord smiled and said, "It's not much. Just a few hundred yuan, plus utilities, I'll round it up to eight hundred."
When Grandma He heard that it was eight hundred yuan, her eyes widened.
Why don't you just rob someone?!
Although wages have generally increased, they are still not as high as 100 yuan a month.
This landlord actually demanded 800 yuan from the tenant in one go; he's heartless.
He Yushen pulled her along, "Mom, call back and ask my brothers to chip in and help me pay for this. Once the shop opens, I'll take care of you."
Old Mrs. He wouldn't listen.
This run-down shop, they've been here for so many days and they've only seen one customer come in to buy one pack of biscuits. No wonder it can't stay open.
If it had been twenty yuan, she would have gritted her teeth and given it to her.
They want eight hundred yuan right now; they might as well kill her.
"Alright, you should hurry up and find a job. We're going back to our hometown too."
"I finally managed to come all this way to see you, but I haven't even had a decent meal here. My life is so miserable."
"We're going to buy train tickets to go back this afternoon. You stay here and make some money."
He Yushen noticed that she ran away whenever she encountered difficulties, just as he remembered.
When he was a child, he had a persistent fever, and the village's barefoot doctor advised him to take him to the city for a checkup, fearing that the fever might make him mentally disabled.
At the time, Grandma He was afraid of spending money, so she simply abandoned him at the clinic.
If someone actually burns to death, I'd have to take responsibility.
They were directly handed over to the barefoot doctor.
Although he was delirious with fever at the time, he was still conscious.
He even witnessed her abandoning him and running away.
Unexpectedly, even after growing up, she still runs away whenever she sees something happen to her.
I never thought of helping him share the burden; I always left him alone.
He Yu gave her a deep look. "Are you really going to abandon me?"
Old Mrs. He scolded, "Who told you to incur such a huge debt? Who can afford eight hundred yuan?"
He Yushen said, "Then five hundred. Five hundred brothers can definitely make it if they pool their money together."
I refuse to believe that after all these years, the five brothers haven't saved at least a hundred or two hundred yuan in their pockets.
The sisters-in-law's faces darkened.
They certainly have one or two hundred.
But it's impossible to take it out.
He then blamed He Yushen, saying, "We don't earn money easily, and besides, we have children to take care of."
"Sixth brother, don't drag us down like this. We don't owe you anything."
He Yushen looked up and sighed deeply.
"That's true. You don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything either. In the future, no one will owe anyone anything."
Without telling them to run, he simply ushered them away.
"Alright, you can leave now. Don't come back again."
Old Mrs. He and her daughters-in-law exchanged glances and then ran away.
Even at the station, they were still wondering, "Mom, Lao Liu wouldn't be lying to us, would he?"
Old Mrs. He said, "It shouldn't be. This child is stupid and doesn't have any guile."
The one with ulterior motives is Sheng Yueqing.
But Sheng Yueqing didn't show up, and Lao Liu didn't seem like someone who could act.
It seems they really can't continue operating.
"Besides, we go to her shop every day and we really don't see any customers. The location is so remote, it's no wonder there are no customers."
The daughters-in-law believed it.
For the next few days, they hid to see if there were any customers in Sheng Yueqing's shop, but in the end, there were no customers.
Thinking about it this way, you can understand why Sheng Yueqing is so stingy.
Even the usually generous He Yushen is being stingy, which means he's really broke.
Luckily they ran fast, otherwise they would have lost several hundred yuan.
Old Mrs. He patted her chest and said, "Don't come next time if you haven't found out the details, so as not to waste money."
Luckily, someone else paid for the ride this time, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money.
"Fortunately, I went to work these past few days and was able to earn some money."
Old Mrs. He looked at their money with longing, "Yes, you can earn money faster in the big city than in the countryside. Otherwise, I would keep this money for you."
