Chapter 23 Debts Must Be Repaid
What does "drown by spit" mean?
That's it!
Li Cuiying deeply understood this moment!
Unless she doesn't want to die and become a useless person!
But how is that possible? She has to live on the pension from the base. She has to live here. Here is the house that the base allocated to her dead husband. Her two daughters will go to school and get married in the future. She also has to continue to make money from the defective labor protection products from the base. She can't afford to lose face like this!
Her face was like a piece of sticky candy on the ground; even if she picked it up, it would still be dirty. However, she still tried to save her dignity: "I still have two children to raise..."
Everyone: "Xiao Su has three children, they are still very young..."
"There are still four of us in our family!"
"There are two of us in my family, and we only have food and clothes to eat. How much does it cost?"
Li Cuiying truly experienced what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. She originally thought that if she kept on waiting for a while longer, Jin Weiguo would be too embarrassed to ask her for it.
Su He is a soft persimmon in the Jin family. Even if they have opinions about her, they dare not say anything!
Seeing that the time was almost right, Su He continued to ask everyone, "I wonder how much money the sewing plane ticket can be exchanged for? Isn't this inappropriate to exchange for money? How about we exchange it for some food coupons we picked up on the way?"
She wants to use everyone's mouth to set a price for sewing tickets!
Suddenly, everyone said: "Xiao Su, you are too honest! We all know your situation, how can it be inappropriate!"
"Yeah, a sewing ticket costs at least fifty dollars!"
Someone whispered, "I heard someone bought one for 80 yuan at Heilongjiang!"
"Here, everyone knows each other. It's not good to pay such a high price!"
"How about we compromise on sixty-five dollars?"
Su He is waiting here. Although fifteen dollars has great purchasing power, asking for fifteen more dollars might leave a small handle. It is easy to talk about it when nothing happens, but it will be troublesome if someone brings up old accounts.
She started again: "No, no, everyone cares about me and is worried that I won't have money to go to a big city for medical treatment and medicine. But Sister Li is a martyr's family member and has two children. I can't ask for 65. Fifty will do!"
Everyone: "Look, look! Xiao Su's awareness is so high!"
"Xiao Su's illness has raised his consciousness! We should all learn more from Xiao Su in the future!"
Su He saw that the food was almost cooked and it was time to wrap up. The three children were still waiting to go home and eat buns!
She asked Li Cuiying directly, still in a pitiful tone: "Sister Li, just give me fifty yuan to sew the plane ticket. If you don't have the money, I can find a way to borrow it..."
As Su He spoke, she began to wipe away her tears again: "Poor my Xiaobao, he is only one year old!" She cried and took Xiaobao from Jin Weiguo's arms again.
Seeing his mother crying, Xiaobao started crying too. Seeing his mother and sister crying, Mao started crying too. After all, he was only three years old.
Damao was five years old, after all. Watching his mother cry, he was filled with worry. Thinking of what his mother had just said to him, he shouted to Tang Baoxia, "Your mother said she would pay it back in a month, and now my sister is over one year old, and she still hasn't paid it back! Your mother doesn't keep her word!"
Tang Caixia: "Da Mao, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't play with you anymore!"
Li Cuiying's mother was still there. She saw that the situation changed not long after Su He arrived. She wanted to make trouble again, but someone had already called the people from the base security department.
The person who came was Tong Jianqi, the director of the Security Department. He came to call his mother home for dinner. The old lady liked to watch the fun and of course liked to meddle in other people's business.
Tong Jianqi was a veteran who had fought in the battlefield and seen lives lost. When his face was gloomy, he was particularly scary. Sometimes when children in the family quarters at the base were disobedient, the adults would say, "Look, is Uncle Tong here? Let Uncle Tong take them away!"
Special care!
At this moment, Tong Jianqi's majesty made Li's mother dare not act rashly again.
Tong Jianqi began to stand up and said, "Li Cuiying, you are the family of a martyr. Old Tang died of exhaustion at his post to complete his work. You can't smear the martyr! Xiao Su is waiting for money to save his life. Look how cute these three children are. How miserable they would be if they lost their mother!"
Li Cuiying originally wanted to act weak, but unfortunately her figure was too healthy. Compared with the really skinny Su He, she was a tragic control group!
Li Cuiying faced the reality: "My family is also in financial difficulty, but Xiao Su is going to help with medical treatment. I will go home and try to scrape together some money. If that doesn't work, I'll sell some food. I will definitely get some for Xiao Su every day!"
