Chapter 202: Borrowing money means making enemies
"Xiaoqing, thank you for today." It was surprising that a little girl could save so much money. But for their family, Xiaoqing was their benefactor.
The stone weighing on her heart was removed. Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at everyone in the family.
"Listen, everyone. We have done everything we can to buy out the property, and we even borrowed money from foreign banks. In the next year, we will live frugally, save the money first, and return it to Xiaoqing as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, mom. I will work hard."
"Grandma, I will give all my wages to you from now on."
Seeing her children and grandchildren expressing their opinions actively, Aunt Wang was very satisfied. Just as she was about to say a few more words of encouragement, a very dissatisfied voice came from the door.
"Brother, I think you are just worrying about nothing, and you even came to my house to ask for money. Look, isn't my sister-in-law already enough?"
Aunt Wang pouted and took two steps inside reluctantly.
"I'm telling you, can a living person be killed by holding his urine? There are always more solutions than problems. Can't you still do it without my two thousand yuan?"
Master Wang who followed later was also stunned for a moment, glanced at Dai Qing who was sitting next to him, and spoke calmly.
"You have to pay back the money you borrowed from your family. Since you've brought it with you, just take it out. The grandchildren need to start their own business soon, and it's not right to be so tight on money all the time."
"Brother, I think you are just making things difficult for me. Now is the critical moment to buy out the property, and my family is also raising money. And my youngest son has not yet married. How come you don't care at all about how difficult my life is?"
Aunt Wang had a bitter face, and her eyes when she looked at Master Wang were full of accusations, causing everyone in the room to turn their heads away unconsciously.
She is old, with wrinkles all over her face, but she is still trying to act like a little girl, which is really an eyesore.
Aunt Wang looked at her coldly. She had disliked this sister-in-law since she was a child. She was mean and took advantage of others. She felt scalp tingling when she saw her sister-in-law coming back to her parents' home.
"Her second aunt, it's not difficult to borrow again if you pay back what you have borrowed. I saw that you were in trouble, so I lent you the money I saved by living frugally. It was to help you get through the difficult times, not to make things difficult for me."
Aunt Wang snorted softly.
"You don't have to say that it's the brother's responsibility to take care of his sister. If you haven't married yet, it's fine. In the blink of an eye, we are all grandmothers. We should save face for our children and grandchildren in everything and not block the way for our mother's family."
After the debt collection incident, Aunt Wang was completely heartbroken. She didn't want to save her face anymore and didn't care about the presence of her children. She just confronted her directly.
Hearing her sister-in-law's cold tone, Aunt Wang was stunned. Looking at the nephews and nieces who were staring at her in the room, her old face blushed.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Am I not here to give you money?"
As she spoke, Wang Ergu angrily took out a wad of money from her bag and slammed it on the table.
"I'm really in trouble. Sister-in-law, you should think about me, right? Several of my children have started families, but my youngest son still has no place to go. I'm almost dying of worry. Why don't you understand me at all?"
"I'm just too considerate of you, that's why we've ended up like this. I lent you the money to help you through your hard times, not to make you turn against me."
Aunt Wang picked up the money on the table and handed it to her son.
"Let's make it clear in front of your second aunt. We are relatives, so don't ask for interest. Return the extra money to her."
Everyone: “…”
The old lady is amazing.
Wang Ergu looked at the room full of ambiguous looks and her face turned purple.
The whole family is greedy for money and they still want her to pay interest. That's wishful thinking.
If her elder brother hadn't been angry, she would never have returned it.
"Mom, two thousand dollars is just right."
"Just give it to Xiaoqing. It won't be difficult to borrow again if you pay it back."
Wang Ergu watched Dai Qing take the money, her eyes widened, as if she wanted to stare a hole in the money.
"Sister-in-law just let her take the money away like that?" That damn girl, is she so rich?
"We are not like you, who refuses to pay back money even though we have it." Aunt Wang patted Dai Qing's hand, "Thank you so much, Xiao Qing, for today."
Dai Qing handed the IOU to Aunt Wang and prepared to leave with the money. "No need to thank me. What a coincidence. You guys are busy. I'll go back first."
"Juanzi, send Xiaoqing off."
Aunt Wang stared at Dai Qing's back, her eyes rolling around. "That girl has extra money to lend to you, so she probably hasn't sold out her house, right?"
Zhang Pi's eyes were cold, and he knew what she was thinking just by looking at her eyes.
"Second Aunt is wrong. Xiaoqing is very capable and has already obtained the title deed. Xiaoqing is a blessed person and it is useless to show kindness to her."
You don't even take a piss to look in the mirror, and you dare to take advantage of the opportunity to eat me up. I'll choke you to death.
Hearing Zhang Pi's sarcastic tone, Wang Ergu was about to get angry, but was beaten to the punch by Wang Dame.
"Juanzi's mother, today is a good day. Go buy some groceries and wait for the house deeds to be issued, then have a drink with the grandpas." You should not give too much face to people who are taking advantage of you.
"Hey, I'll go right away." Zhang Pigeon agreed, glanced at his second aunt, and got up and left.
Aunt Wang took the documents for applying for real estate and said, "Old man, let's go. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can come back."
Before leaving, he turned to look at his sister-in-law.
"His second aunt, my family is busy, so I won't send you off."
Wang Ergu was stunned. Was her sister-in-law trying to chase her away?
How is that possible?
Seeing her eldest brother walking out with his hands behind his back, Aunt Wang finally came to her senses. Seeing her nephews and grandchildren leaving one after another, no matter how unwilling she was, she had no face to stay here any longer.
"Just go ahead, are you afraid that I'll eat your meal? Humph~"
Dai Qing and Juanzi sat under the grape trellis, leisurely enjoying a moment of peace.
"It's still quiet here. Unlike my home, there are too many people and too much noise every day." Juanzi put her hands behind her head, looking at the grape vines, her tone full of resentment.
"If you like my place, just come every day. I'm alone anyway, and it's nice to have you to talk to me."
The Wang family is considered a large family. Even so, Juanzi's second uncle moved to another place with his wife and children due to a job transfer. Otherwise, their home would be even more lively.
"Then I'll take it seriously."
Juanzi smiled and stood up after a moment.
"Today is a happy day. I'm going to go back and help my mother first. I'll talk to you when I'm free."
Watching Juanzi leave, Dai Qing drank some water, did some martial arts boxing in the yard, took a hot shower, and then lay down under the grape trellis to dry her hair.
Knock knock knock~
When I opened the door, Feng Yong and a strange man were standing at the door.
"Master, we have something to ask of you."
"Come in and talk." Dai Qing glanced at the stranger beside him and stepped aside to let the person in.
Dai Qing brought them to the living room and poured tea for them. "If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
Feng Yong cleared his throat and said, "This is my friend, his last name is Jiang. I have some questions for you, Master?"
Having said that, he got up and went to the yard.
