Chapter 201: It’s all about money

"My dear, hurry up. Your father has spoken. You can definitely go home." Mother Liu happily took her daughter home. As long as the old man spoke, even the daughter-in-law did not dare to talk back.

Liu Wei looked at his father's back with a gloomy look in his eyes. Just as he grabbed his daughter-in-law's hand, she shook him off.

Li Xiuyun snorted.

"Liu Wei, I'm telling you, I still have to say that if I'm in this family, your sister won't be here. We just got married and she's making a fuss without caring about anything. There will definitely be trouble in the future. We're living together, not playing house. If you don't give me a definite answer today, we'll get divorced."

"These days, whoever leaves will be punished. No matter who I, Li Xiuyun, marry, will be punished three times a day."

"Xiuyun, don't worry. I will definitely listen to you. We just got married and there are still good days ahead. Don't talk about divorce all the time. I hate the word divorce."

Facing his wife, Liu Wei put on a flattering smile. This was the wife he had married with great difficulty, and he would fight to the death with anyone who dared to mess her up.

"Then you just listen to me. Your sister has abandoned everyone in our family. And your brother-in-law might come looking for us someday. If we keep making a fuss like this every day, our life will be wasted."

"Also, is what your sister just said true? Is your sister-in-law going to take away all the home appliances? I tell you, if she does, you must buy me new ones immediately, not a single thing less. Otherwise, we will get divorced."

Li Xiuyun was upset. Before getting married, she had heard people say that her sister-in-law was difficult to get along with. At the time, she didn't take it seriously. Isn't she just a sister-in-law? She would get married sooner or later. But she didn't expect that she would be so hateful.

How dare she elope with someone?

It would be fine if he eloped, and we didn't have to contact each other in the future, but it's only been a short time and he's come back again.

She lived her life like a joke.

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law, everything in the house belongs to us. My sister-in-law can't take it away. I promise."

Those things were bought by my sister-in-law voluntarily, otherwise why would she let my brother come over?

"That's good, hum~"

Dai Qing watched the family walk away and shook her head speechlessly.

I knew there would be a commotion in their house after Liu Min came back, but now it seems that it has only just begun.

You know what, people of the same family tend to stick together, and each one is more weird than the other.

I read some gossip as a pre-dinner dessert to liven up my mood.

Back home, Dai Qing hummed a song while cooking. When the aroma of the braised spareribs wafted out, Dai Qing's mood became even better.

As soon as the ribs were served on the table, before we started eating, Juanzi came over with red eyes.

"Xiaoqing, there was a quarrel at home. My mom and my dad had a quarrel over real estate and no matter how hard we tried to persuade them to stop, grandma almost fainted from anger."

"What? Is your grandma's condition serious?" Dai Qing was stunned. Thinking about Aunt Zhang looking at her property deed today, she must have felt upset.

"I've taken a quick-acting heart pill, so I should be fine." Juanzi was in a low mood and didn't even look at the ribs on the table.

"I can see that as long as the house issue is not settled, our family will be in turmoil. But my father can't do anything if my aunt doesn't pay back the money."

At this special time, everyone is saving money to buy and sell properties, and no one has extra money to lend to them.

Dai Qing hesitated for a moment and asked Juanzi, "How much money does your family still need? I have some on hand, but I don't know if it's enough?"

"My mother said that we are still short of two thousand... You just bought the house, where would the money be?" Juanzi sighed and grabbed a handful of hair. Their family was short of two thousand yuan, not two hundred.

Two thousand yuan is one person’s annual salary.

"I'll go see your grandma first." She asked clearly before saying anything else. The Wang family was very good to her, and it was only natural for her to lend a hand if they really encountered difficulties.

Juanzi hadn't paid attention at first, but after hearing Dai Qing's suggestion, she took her home.

As soon as she entered the yard, she heard Zhang Pigeon crying. Juanzi paused, bit her lip and rushed into the house.

A moment later, Wang Jinguo came out of the house and just as he took out a cigarette, he saw Dai Qing standing in the yard. He paused.

"Xiaoqing is here?"

"Uncle Wang, I'm here to see Auntie."

"Your mother is feeling unwell and is lying in the room." Wang Jinguo looked at her with a frown.

Before Dai Qing could speak, Aunt Wang's voice rang out from inside the house, "Xiao Qing is here, come in quickly."

Dai Qing smiled awkwardly and walked into the room, only to see Aunt Wang leaning against the head of the bed with a white towel on her forehead.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I'm just angry. I'll be fine after a rest." Aunt Wang patted her side and asked Dai Qing to sit over. "Juanzi is the one who told on me again, right?"

"Juanzi is also worried about you." Dai Qing said softly, "Buying and selling a property is a big deal, and everyone is very anxious."

"Alas, Auntie knows, but Auntie's family is big and they spend a lot. They haven't saved much money in recent years. They failed at the critical moment. It's understandable that your Auntie Zhang is anxious and angry."

She had borrowed from all the relatives who could ask for money, and there was really nothing she could do.

"How much does Auntie need? I have some on hand. It's not much, but it can make up the number." Dai Qing looked at her and asked softly.

"You're short of two thousand yuan. You just got a house, how can you have the money?" A few hundred yuan is not a big deal, and it might even affect Xiaoqing's life.

"I still have two thousand. I'll get it for you. You can use it first." Two thousand yuan was indeed not a lot for her.

But for employees who receive a fixed salary, it is indeed not easy to make up the money.

"What? You really have it?"

"Really? How could I lie to you about such a big thing?" Dai Qing chuckled.

Aunt Wang looked at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly held her hand and said, "Good girl, you really helped grandma a lot."

"Then I'll go to the bank to withdraw money and get the property approved first."

"Hey~"

Dai Qing got up and left, went home to get her bank card and withdrew two thousand yuan. As soon as she entered the Wang family's small courtyard, Zhang Pigeon looked over at her eagerly. It seemed that Aunt Wang had already informed them.

"Xiaoqing is here, come sit in the room quickly."

After entering the house, Dai Qing handed two thousand yuan directly to Aunt Wang, "Please count it."

Without waiting for Aunt Wang to speak, Zhang Pigeon took it over and said, "Let me do it. Your grandmother is old and her hands are not as flexible as mine."

As he spoke, he spat and counted carefully.

Seeing her posture, Aunt Wang closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and waited for her to finish counting.

"Two thousand exactly, not a cent less." Zhang Pigeon's eyes sparkled as he looked at Dai Qing gratefully. "Xiao Qing, you've helped us a lot."

"Hey, Juanzi, take a pen and paper and write an IOU to Xiaoqing. If you borrow, you must pay it back. It won't be difficult to borrow again. We can't be that scoffing dog."

"Mom is right. I'll write it." Zhang Ge took the paper and pen from the lady, wrote the IOU, and asked Wang Jinguo to put his fingerprint on it.

"I'll put my fingerprint on it, too." After pressing her fingerprint on the IOU, Aunt Wang looked at it for a moment and handed it to Dai Qing.
