Chapter 008 Want to borrow money? Dream on!
Seeing her uncle's family who had not died tragically, Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief. Her impression of her uncle Su Yiyang's family was that she often went to his house to play when she was a child, and her aunt Wang Fang would cook some of Jingshu's favorite dishes.
After my grandparents passed away, even though we lived in the same city, we rarely saw each other and only had New Year’s Eve dinner together.
There will be a global earthquake three years after the end of the world.
Wucheng is located in a basin and experiences earthquakes every three or four days, which rarely exceed magnitude 6. This is unlike Sichuan, where there are two earthquakes every day and a big one every one or two months. The people of Sichuan say that the earth is their bed that year.
However, the Urumqi government still required citizens to stay in the square and shelters, or on flat ground at night, and also distributed supplies.
Jingshu remembers it clearly. That night, her aunt said, "Sleeping in the square smells terrible. There's grinding of teeth, farting, snoring, and all that stuff. It just shook a little over the past two days, but it won't shake anymore. Isn't it okay for Old Li to go back and sleep there every day? Besides, Su Long can't stand the cold weather, so he can just stay there for one night."
Su Long is my uncle's son, 5 years younger than Jingshu. He is my uncle's son, born in my old age, and I love him very much.
My uncle and his family returned home, and that night a magnitude 6 earthquake occurred. The epicenter was in the area where my uncle lived, and the buildings in the surrounding area collapsed.
There were no more sniffer dogs to rescue people, no more firefighters to search and rescue, not even any news reports, and no one was investigating how many people died in this earthquake.
Because it is the end of the world, many people die every day.
More people went to pick up supplies. Without sunlight, the crops grown were too few. There was no cotton, no clothes, no quilts, and everything was missing. Many people came to pick up things in the ruins. Occasionally, they would dig out a few corpses and strip off their clothes.
Jing's mother started crying and wanted to go with her aunt to find the body. Her aunt cried and said she was scared, so Jing's mother took Jing's father to look for it. Later, they found it and it was a horrible sight.
Jingshu felt that her mother spoiled her aunt so much and wanted to give her everything she had, partly because of the tragic death of her uncle's family.
In this life, Jingshu no longer gives Jingma a reason to spoil her aunt, nor does she want Jingma's brother to die again.
My aunt Su Meimei loves beauty but she is not beautiful. Her daughter Zhang Hanhan is 20 years old, and their relationship is not very good.
Because my uncle-in-law Zhang Zhongyong's family favors boys over girls, and they were implementing family planning in 2002, and Zhang Zhongyong was a state employee and couldn't have a second child if he wanted to get promoted, so their marriage probably broke down from then on.
Zhang Zhongyong had a mistress and she gave birth to a son. A few years after the end of the world, he passed away. My aunt was forced to share a husband with two women.
But Jingshu only found out before she died that Uncle Sun and her aunt had been involved for a long time. Uncle Sun was really irresponsible. Her uncle-in-law dared to go ahead in the open, but Uncle Sun could only stay behind.
Because her father didn't love her and her mother didn't care for her, Zhang Hanhan developed a selfish and hostile personality since she was a child.
For someone like Su Meimei who repays kindness with enmity, Jing Ma and Jing Shu are reluctant to let her die. They always push her to the edge of the abyss, then kindly pull her up, and then push her again...
Coo coo coo
Just as Jingshu was recalling the events of her past life, her stomach growled, and it growled very loudly at this strange time.
"Where have you been going crazy again, you naughty kid? Call your uncle, aunt, auntie, and uncle-in-law over for dinner today, and discuss your affairs." Jing's mother rushed over from the kitchen with a kitchen knife... and handed Jingshu a piece of burnt... fried fish.
"First, let's have a chat with your uncle and the others."
...ebr/>
Scared to death.
Seeing the mushy fish, my aunt stood up and said, "I'd better help my sister."
Su Meimei has really had enough of Jingma's cooking since she was a child. She used to think she did it on purpose, but later she found out that she really had physical problems. Su Meimei was even proud that Jingma couldn't find a good husband, but who knew?
Su Lanzhi, who can't cook and does nothing, found a good man who loves her and gives her financial power; she also loves her daughter like a precious baby!
Su Meimei, who can cook and do other things, will only look down on her. She needs his approval for everything she buys. He is a chauvinist man; the daughter he has is just to keep his mother company!
Why! Su Mei
Mei pinched her palms to suppress her emotions.
Want to borrow money tonight? Dream on!
Jingshu put the mineral water into the bedroom and found that the boxes of medicine she bought today were all piled up in the bedroom, making the bedroom full of spices even smaller. But fortunately, my aunt and the others didn't find out, right? Otherwise, it would be troublesome for her to borrow medicine in the end times.
After chatting with my uncle and a few others for a while, Jing's father came back. When the honest Jing's father was asked to borrow money, a trace of difficulty in speaking appeared on his face.
The meal was ready quickly. I have to say that my aunt's cooking skills were recognized by everyone at the table. Jing's father filled the glasses of wine for my uncle and my younger uncle-in-law, and after two drinks, he started talking.
"Jingshu's dream has always been to be a star or a host. As a father, I'm very happy that my child has found a career she loves, and of course I want to fully support her! Now the opportunity has come. The entertainment company has sent her a contract. As long as they pay a certain amount of money, they can make her famous. In the future, she will be able to make her own money. I'm very proud of her! Isn't it just 1.5 million? I'll help her with it!"
As Jing's father spoke, he raised his glass again and drank it himself. His uncle and his wife's husband also drank a glass. His aunt and his wife were silently picking up food on the side.
Jingshu's eyes suddenly turned red. She didn't know why. Was it wrong to trick Baozi's father into going downstairs to borrow money?
No, it was to let them get to know my aunt again first! At the same time, I wanted to see how well my uncle and his family would get along in the future.
Don't test human nature casually! Because it can't stand the test!
"The shop makes money, but it's not as much as Jingshu makes on her own. Sell it! I sold it for 600,000 today, and the money has arrived."
"We're selling the car and the house! Lao Sun still owes me 100,000 and said he'd pay it back in a few days, but the contract requires an 800,000 deposit tomorrow. The car is hard to sell. I called everyone here today so you can lend me and Lanzhi some money first, and we'll pay you back after we sell it."
For the sake of his daughter's future, Jing's father spoke up no matter how difficult it was. He looked at everyone nervously and expectantly. Jing's father and mother thought that the money would be paid back in a few days, and now it was just a matter of transferring money. Everyone was a close blood relative, so they should agree, right?
If they were in trouble, Jing's parents would definitely support them without hesitation.
"Lao Sun will pay back the money? Tsk tsk, how naive, Lao Sun's money is with me." There is a saying that goes, if you are unwilling to spend money on your wife, there will always be someone who is willing to spend money on your wife to replace you.
Su Meimei thought complacently, glancing at the cuckolded man, and found that Zhang Zhongyong was drinking comfortably, not moved at all. This probably meant that he didn't express his opinion, so what did she have to worry about?
Su Meimei gritted her teeth, pinched her fingernails and palms, it was obvious that she was being asked to be the bad guy and get rid of it!
"What entertainment company is it? Don't be fooled. There are too many ways to defraud money nowadays." My aunt's focus was indeed different.
"The guarantor was introduced by the son of my old colleague of more than 20 years. Jingshu, please bring the contract for everyone to see." Jing's father trusts Zhu Zhengqi very much.
Jingshu's heart skipped a beat. Would her aunt, who is a lawyer, find out something?
