Chapter 132 Borrowing Money
In April, after the Qingming Festival, the weather became warmer.
Mother Gu was in the backyard, preparing to plant vegetables, first planting onions and garlic. Mother Feng came over and borrowed a dozen newly laid eggs.
She planned to raise another nest of chickens, and when winter came she would mail them to Shu Ning and Xiao Che.
After living in the countryside for the past two years, they have become accustomed to this kind of life of working from sunrise to sunset, which is pretty good.
Mr. and Mrs. Feng are very satisfied with their current life. They just focus on their transformation in the countryside and don't need to worry about anything else.
This day is Saturday.
Su He and Gu Jianhua were resting when Zhao Qingmu, the eldest son of Gu's eldest sister, came to see them.
Mother Gu asked, "Aoki, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Zhao Qingmu nodded.
Gu's mother poured him some water and asked, "What's wrong? What happened at home?"
Zhao Qingmu was embarrassed to say it. After all, even if the other person was his uncle, he had to say it.
He said, "Grandma, I want to borrow some money from my uncle and aunt."
Gu's mother was puzzled, "Why do you want to borrow money? What's wrong at home? What happened?"
"Build a house and live alone."
Zhao Qingmu then told Gu's mother what had happened during this period. After hearing this, Gu's mother couldn't help but scold him, "This damn child!"
It turned out that a week ago, Zhao Qingyu, the sister-in-law, had an argument with her sister-in-law Zhang Ning. Zhao Qingyu pushed Zhang Ning with quite a bit of force, causing Zhang Ning to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, the baby in my belly passed the first three months without any serious problems, but I had a dull pain in my stomach for two days and had to rest in bed for a few days before the pain got better.
Zhao Qingmu felt that his sister was a troublemaker and unreasonable. She had argued with his wife several times over trivial matters.
Because his wife was pregnant, she did not go out to work in the fields and stayed at home to cook. When it was time to wash the dishes after dinner, he asked his sister Zhao Qingyu to do it.
His sister said in a weird tone that it was just pregnancy and she couldn't even wash the dishes.
To be honest, no one is idle in this family. His parents and his younger brother all work in the fields, and his wife cooks and cleans the house.
My sister, she has the easiest time going to school.
Everyone in the family is working, but she is unwilling to wash the dishes.
Zhao Qingmu felt that if they continued to live under the same roof with her sister, a war would break out sooner or later. She even dared to push her pregnant sister-in-law.
There is nothing that can't be done.
Not only for himself but also for his wife, he wanted to live separately.
He made this suggestion, but his parents disagreed, saying that they had already scolded his sister and would never do it again.
He didn't believe it, so he came to borrow money from his uncle and aunt so that they could build the house themselves.
Mother Gu said, "Your parents are also confused."
The young lady was scolded for committing such a serious crime. She even dared to push her pregnant sister-in-law. Fortunately, the child was not miscarried. What if it was miscarried!
Just give it to the children to live in separately.
The same goes for Qingyu, she is getting more and more crooked as she grows up, and she can't compare with Chunqing, Xiaomei and the others at all.
The two children were much more well-behaved.
"Your uncle and aunt are in the back room. I'll go call them over for you."
"No need to call grandma, I'll go with you." Zhao Qingmu stood up.
Mother Gu: "That's fine."
Su He and Gu Jianhua were shocked when they heard this. What was she thinking when she pushed a pregnant woman?
Gu Jianhua asked, "Aoki, how much do you want to borrow?"
Zhao Qingmu, "Fifty, uncle."
Su He: "Give me one hundred."
Starting a family requires all kinds of things, including pots, bowls, pans, and utensils, not to mention having children later.
Zhao Qingmu, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, I will pay it back within two years."
Gu Jianhua waved his hands.
That night, Sister Gu and her brother-in-law came over.
"Jianhua, why did you lend money to Qingmu?" Sister Gu said with a reproachful tone.
Before Gu Jianhua could speak, Gu's mother spoke first.
"What does this have to do with your brother? You should just talk about your daughter first. She quarreled with your sister-in-law and pushed her pregnant sister-in-law to the ground. You two can just talk and be done with it!"
"Thank God, the child is fine. If he was, where would you go to cry?"
Sister Gu, "I have already scolded and beaten her father, and Qingyu also said that she was angry at the time and didn't mean it. She won't do that again in the future."
My brother-in-law nodded.
Why do they want to divide the family? They don't agree, and this guy even came to her mother's house to borrow money from his uncle.
Gu's mother snorted, "You should educate your daughter well. If she continues like this, something bad will happen sooner or later."
Zhao Qingyu's granddaughter is different from other granddaughters. She is very sharp and cunning. Other granddaughters never ask her for things and ask her to buy this and that.
Zhao Qingyu is different. Last summer, she came to her and said, "Grandma, I also want a pair of sandals like Xueer's."
She asked her parents to buy it, but people said her parents wouldn't buy it for her.
"Grandma, please buy it for me. I will definitely be filial to you when I grow up."
She has a sweet mouth.
Sister Gu thought to herself that nothing could happen and that this time it was just the child who didn't understand. She got angry and pushed her sister-in-law, but she didn't use much force.
Su He couldn't speak at this time. It was not right for her to interrupt their family affairs. She just had to watch.
Father Gu, "What did you two want to say today? Do you want Jianhua to take back the money he lent out or something? The money has been lent out and it is impossible to take it back."
"Besides, it's good to live separately from my children."
Mother Gu said, "That's right. Your father and I have figured out something, but you two can't figure it out."
Gu's mother couldn't understand why her eldest daughter and son-in-law were unwilling to divide the family property. Dividing the family property didn't mean severing the relationship.
Dividing the family property can avoid conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, between sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and can also promote the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Don’t you know that distant fragrance smells bad while nearby fragrance stinks?
Didn't the eldest daughter separate from her husband's family?
Sister Gu, "Will you still support us after the division of the family business?"
"Sister, if you are unwilling to divide the family property because of this, then you are just overthinking. You two are not the kind of evil parents who have committed unforgivable crimes, and Qingmu is not that kind of bastard son. How could they not support you in your old age?" Gu Jianhua said.
His second sister's mother-in-law treats her so badly, but she still has to give food to her second brother-in-law every year and show filial piety.
There are children in the world who don't care about their parents, but they are few. Most children will care about their parents.
Having said that, Sister Gu still felt uneasy. She had just married into the family and hadn't even started to use her yet, but now she was about to move out.
The same goes for Aoki. Ever since he married his wife, he listens to her and no longer listens to anything his parents say.
Just because of some trivial matters, they wanted to divide the family property, not only not to give any share, but also to borrow money to divide the family property.
It's totally unreasonable!
Sister Gu was a little resentful of her daughter-in-law. She must have said something, otherwise her son would not be so determined to split the family business.
Mother Gu said, "Okay, you guys should go back quickly. There is no moon tonight."
The money had been lent out, and there was no way that Gu Jianhua, the uncle, would ask for it back. Qingmu was also determined to divide the family business, so that was the way it was.
"When you divide up the family business, you two should give your children something. Don't just give them nothing and disappoint them."
