Chapter 599 Self-inflicted Misfortune (5)

They were all people who would rather spend every penny they had, so they were not willing to spend the money, so they complained to the captain Wu Guoqing.

Wu Guoqing was also very upset. Liu Mei was courting death, not only did she burn herself into a horrible state, but she also dragged down the entire village. He went to the hospital to ask in the afternoon, and Xu Jianlin couldn't even afford the medical expenses, so where would he get the money to repair the village's circuits?

It was really frustrating.

Ruan Jianguo didn't care about this little money, mainly because he had his father-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law at home, and he didn't dare to let them do it in the dark. He wanted to find Wu Guoqing and ask him to find someone to fix the circuit first, and he would pay for it, but was stopped by Ruan Lin.

"Only you dare to get involved in such a sucker job. Do you believe that you will never be able to get rid of it once you get involved?" Ruan Lin scolded: "Or have you made some money and now you can't wait to show off?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? I'm just in a hurry. Shulang and others are at home..."

"That's not the way." Ruan Lin rolled her eyes at him, thought for a few seconds, and then said: "Go and ask the captain to write an IOU. You can pay the money first, but you must pay it back. As for how to pay it back, you can discuss it with him."

I'm afraid it's impossible to get this money out of Liu Mei's hands, and other villagers won't be willing to share it equally.

Ruan Lin knew that this money would probably not be returned, but she had to let everyone know that their Ruan family would not be a sucker, but would only help to pay for it. No matter what, they would have to pay it back in the future, so that they would not form the mentality that they had to be a sucker because they were rich.

"Okay." As long as there was electricity, Ruan Jianguo was willing to do anything.

The circuit was repaired for a day, and finally the electricity was restored on the morning of the next day.

But the villagers in the village were not happy. If Liu Mei was not still in the hospital, they would have to go to her house and ask her to pay for the repairs.

Of course, they also expressed their gratitude to the Ruan family for paying for the repairs first, but the more grateful they were to the Ruan family, the more resentful they were towards Liu Mei.

However, no matter how much people complained, time was passing, and soon it was New Year's Eve.

According to their local customs, they not only had to do a thorough cleaning during the New Year, but also had to clean themselves up inside and out. Ruan Jiaojiao got up very early, but the temperature was very low in the morning. There was a heavy snow last night, and it was icy and snowy. It was not until noon that Ruan Lin boiled a pot of water with mugwort for her to take a bath. After

Ruan Jiaojiao finished her bath, she put on the Nizi coat with a hood that Shu Wei bought for her. It was the same style as the one she was wearing. Shu Jie also had one, but it was sky blue, which was very suitable for her temperament.

Ruan Lin was afraid that she was not warm enough, so she put a down vest inside the woolen coat, and matched her feet with a pair of red rain boots that Zhao Li had specially brought for her when she went to the provincial capital last time. With

this combination, a bright red and round little ball was freshly baked.

Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the red outfit in the mirror, and asked Ruan Lin, who was pouring bath water for her in the back, a little embarrassedly: "Grandma, is it too red to wear like this?"

"What do you mean it's too red? You have to wear it like this to be prosperous during the New Year. Go out and have a look, let your dad and others judge, they will definitely say it looks good." Ruan Lin said with a smile, and took out a new pair of rabbit fur gloves from the drawer. Unlike the mixed fur ones before, this pair is pure white and particularly beautiful.
