As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over.
Someone who is not related to you comes to borrow money?
The captain's son and daughter-in-law were not very happy.
How can there be such a person?
Everyone is poor these days, where can we borrow money?
I have just managed to pay back the grain I borrowed earlier.
Of course, the younger generation didn't dare to speak before the captain spoke.
The captain looked at Wu Muxiang, unsure of her purpose.
Since the other party has returned the grain, it means he is not a confused person. Now he suddenly comes to borrow money. Does he have any other purpose?
He remembered that Widow Wu lived a good life and should not have borrowed money to buy food.
After thinking for a moment, the captain said calmly, "Are you short of food? We can lend you some."
Aunt Zhang's opinion of Wu Muxiang has changed a lot. When she heard her asking to borrow money, she didn't get angry immediately, but was a little puzzled.
"Xiao Wu, what difficulties have you encountered? Tell us and we will help you find a solution."
Wu Muxiang smiled slightly and said, "I want to build a house, but I'm short of money right now, so I came to borrow some from you."
"Oh," Aunt Zhang frowned, "We're living well, and it's not like a thatched hut is uninhabitable. If you don't have enough money, why don't you just not build it for now?"
The captain seemed to have guessed something and said, "Go ahead. My family won't lend you any money. My dear, please see us off!"
Despite saying so, he still kept the gift that Wu Muxiang sent.
Wu Muxiang knew that her goal had been achieved.
Aunt Zhang saw Wu Muxiang out of the door. At the door, Wu Muxiang said to Aunt Zhang:
"Aunt, I'm really sorry for today. I'll still rely on your help when I build a house in the future. If someone asks, can you say you lent me the money?"
Aunt Zhang understood immediately and nodded with a smile: "Oh, that's your idea. Okay, no problem."
Widow Wu was almost starving while raising her children alone, and suddenly her life got better. Who wouldn’t know what was going on? She must have gone to the black market!
But going to the black market is not a rare thing, and no one reports it. People turn a blind eye. After all, even if a family member does not go to the black market, there will always be relatives who will go. Reporting it will only bring trouble to oneself.
Aunt Zhang was a little surprised. She just thought that Widow Wu made a little money to have enough food and drink, but she didn't expect that she could earn enough to buy a house. How could speculation make so much money?
But Wu Muxiang first returned the grain and gave their family a lot of gifts, so it was no big deal to help cover it up.
Being a widow is indeed not easy.
Widow Wu was the second person to come to Lao Hua's house. When Wan Qingliu heard her purpose, she immediately agreed.
She went through the same thing back then, working in the black market and building houses with the money she earned. She understands the hard work involved.
Who doesn’t know that Lao Hua’s family is well-off?
It’s okay to tell others that you borrowed some money. People outside don’t know that the sons of the Hua family don’t have to pay household expenses.
Normally, there is no place to spend money in the village. My son pays some household expenses every month. Over the years, it is normal to save a few hundred, if not a thousand.
What's more, every time Haishi's relative gives money and tickets, I don't know how much he gives.
Wu Muxiang didn't plan to leave for other families. They were all equally poor, and she couldn't trust them. If she talked about this too much, it would easily leak out.
The captain and the old Hua family probably won't tell anyone.
Years ago, Wu Muxiang went to the county town to sell some things and made a lot of money, finally getting enough money together.
After the first month of the lunar year, Wu Muxiang went to see the team leader.
The team leader organized the strong laborers in the village to start building houses. Wu Muxiang provided meals, which included vegetables, meat, and dry rice.
Everyone ate the rice without any discomfort and praised it:
"You picked the rice so cleanly that there weren't even any stones in it!"
There are no stones, they are all rice exchanged from the mall.
Some people also asked: "How can you, a widow, get the money to build a house?"
Wu Muxiang lowered her head and smiled: "I borrowed some from the team leader and Aunt Wan from the old Hua family, and my parents also subsidized me a little."
No one knew whether they believed it or not, but they didn't ask any further questions.
Wu Muxiang was not afraid at all. The gods had sent her a letter, and the source of everything could be traced back to her.
When the rape flowers are golden and fragrant, the house is almost completed.
According to custom, sugar is sprinkled on the beams when they are raised. Wu Muxiang bought some fruit candies and red dates from the mall and scattered them like flowers from heaven.
The children rushed forward and happily grabbed the candies on the ground.
"Congratulations!"
"From now on, we'll live in a brick house!"
Wu Muxiang also had a smile on her face.
Hua Weizhong's house became lively in the evening.
"Your family has been crammed into the old house for two or three years. When are you going to move out?"
"You're not going to take over my house, are you?"
Hua Wei felt very bitter when facing the questioning from his brother and sister-in-law.
Previously, Hua Ziqiang had kept the subsidies sent by his grandfather in his hands, so building a house was not a difficult task. But later on, didn’t the Wang family ask for it back?
The plan to build a house was delayed again and again.
Although his brother's family had objections, they kept waiting for him to build a house and didn't say anything.
This time, the construction of the house by Widow Wu's family successfully irritated the sensitive nerves of her younger brother's family, and they started making a fuss when they returned home.
The old woman was still alive and well. When she saw her youngest son making such a fuss, she slapped her thigh on the spot.
"How unfilial! This old house still belongs to your father and me. You're kicking your eldest brother out before I die. Are you thinking I'm old and useless? You're going to kick me out next, right?"
More and more people gathered to watch the fun.
Someone laughed and said:
"Oh, your eldest son said he wanted to build a house more than two years ago, but now he's still squeezed into the old house. What do you want your youngest son to do?"
Hua Weixing couldn't hold it in any longer and roared, "Mom! I'm your son too. Why do you favor my eldest brother?"
The old woman immediately cried out, "How can you be partial? I told you brothers to be more united. Is there anything wrong with that? If you keep making such a fuss every day, sooner or later your family will fall apart!"
"Unfilial son! And you're still accusing your mother of being partial! If I hadn't raised you, you would have starved to death long ago!"
The younger daughter-in-law sneered: "You are not partial? If you are not partial, why do you let the second brother's family be bullied by the eldest uncle? You look at me and I can't see it. Don't you just want the eldest brother to take care of you in your old age?"
The old woman had a deeply rooted idea that she didn't know where it came from. She wanted her eldest son to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life, and she felt that her other sons were unreliable.
This is the second child who died. If the third child also died, this old woman would still not protect their children.
The daughter-in-law saw it clearly, so she had no good feelings towards the old woman.
The old woman yelled and rushed over to hit her daughter-in-law, shouting, "What's this got to do with you? Just shut up!"
Hua Weixing stood in front of his wife with a grim expression.
"Mom! If you keep protecting Big Brother like this, I won't be able to support you in your old age!"
