Liu Daqiang originally wanted to take out a few dollars and get over the matter first!
However, the money in their pockets was all together. Because Liu Baorui was in the hospital, Liu Daqiang carried a lot of money with him. Lin Manman's words were beyond Liu Daqiang's expectations.
So Liu Daqiang panicked and took out all the money in his pocket. It was a huge amount, more than 100 yuan without counting!
Lin Manman's eyes lit up. She had originally intended to shut Liu Daqiang up, but she hadn't expected to gain something unexpected.
Without waiting for Liu Daqiang to speak, Lin Manman stepped forward and pressed Liu Daqiang's wrist with one hand while holding the money with the other hand. When the hand pressing on the wrist exerted force, Liu Daqiang felt pain and let go.
Lin Manman happily took the money and said:
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. We shouldn't use the word 'borrow' when we're family. I'm being too formal. Uncle Liu, don't be like me. I'll take the money and go buy something now!"
After hearing what Lin Manman said, Liu Daqiang hadn't said anything yet. Liu Baozhu behind him couldn't help but stepped forward and questioned Lin Manman:
"Lin Manman, you still dare to ask my dad for money? The street clerk has already told you that my brother and I's subsidies for going to the countryside have all been collected by you. You should quickly take out this money!"
After Liu Baozhu finished speaking, Wang Jinfeng's eyes lit up and she chimed in:
"You stupid girl, hand over all the subsidies you received immediately. You still dare to ask your uncle Liu for money. You are a grown-up girl, do you still have any shame?"
Since she dared to spend the money, Lin Manman was not afraid of being asked, as she had already thought of a solution.
Lin Manman quickly reached into his pocket, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his eyes. His eyes instantly turned red, and tears as big as beans rolled down his eyes. Lin Manman looked heartbroken and said:
"Uncle Liu, please beat me to death. I, I, I lost the subsidy money!"
"I originally wanted to take the money out and send it directly to you at the hospital, but I didn't expect that my clothes were too torn and there was a hole in the pocket. I didn't even notice it and it was lost just like that!"
After saying that, Lin Manman pretended to turn his pocket inside out, and sure enough, there was a big hole inside!
And after Lin Manman said this, the neighbors who were watching the fun looked again. Not only was what Lin Manman was wearing all patched up, it was also very old. Then they looked at Liu Baozhu's skirt which was 80% new.
They all shook their heads and discussed:
"What does Liu Daqiang mean by treating everyone equally? Look at the clothes the two girls are wearing. You won't know until you compare them. This is a comparison!"
"Who says it's not true? Not to mention that Manman's clothes are all covered in patches, they're all washed white. And look at Baozhu's skirt, it's obviously newly made. What a difference, tsk, tsk, tsk."
"There is a difference between a biological father and a stepfather. Otherwise, Manman would have to ask Liu Daqiang for money to go to the countryside. If she were a biological daughter, she would have asked for money!"
…
Liu Daqiang listened to the discussion among his neighbors and could not blame Lin Manman at all. He could only grit his teeth and comfort her:
"Manman, it's okay, it's lost, just consider it as a loss to avoid disaster!"
"I was originally thinking of making you a dress like the one your sister Baozhu made, but now you're..."
Before Liu Daqiang could finish his words, Lin Manman quickly replied:
"Uncle Liu, are you planning to make me a dress like this? I'd be so happy!"
"Sister Baozhu has already made three sets of clothes this summer. I haven't made a single new piece of clothing since I came to your house!"
"The clothes I wear now are either torn by my mom and Sister Baozhu, or they are clothes I wore before I was 8 years old, which were patched and pieced together. I really envy Sister Baozhu!"
After saying that, Lin Manman stared at Liu Daqiang with her big red eyes and a hopeful look on her face.
After Lin Manman said this, even if Liu Daqiang wanted to say no to her, he couldn't say it!
After all, there are so many neighbors watching. If he says he won’t make clothes for Lin Manman, how can he hold his head up when he goes out in the future!
However, Liu Daqiang was reluctant to agree to do it for Lin Manman, so he pretended to be embarrassed:
"Manman, you know the situation at home. We don't have any extra cloth coupons. Uncle Liu wanted to make one for you, but now he can't. So, you wait until the end of the year. When the cloth coupons are issued, your mother, your brother and your sister and I will not make any, and we will make you a new one!"
If Lin Manman believed what Liu Daqiang said, she would be so stupid that she would be as stupid as a dung pile!
Besides, what do they mean by "no one else in the family does it, but she has to do it, which makes her seem immature!"
Lin Manman didn't respond to Liu Daqiang's words at all, but bowed to the neighbors who were watching the fun and said:
"My dear uncles and aunts, my uncle Liu has agreed to make a skirt for me, but our family is really short of cloth coupons. But it doesn't matter, we will be able to issue the coupons by the end of the year. Uncles and aunts, please lend me the cloth coupons at home first, and I will let my uncle Liu return them to you at the end of the year!"
After saying that, he started asking uncles and aunts one by one!
These days, every family borrows various bills back and forth, and people also say that they will return them by the end of the year!
Besides, even if I keep the one and a half foot of cloth coupons at home, I can’t make clothes. I have to wait until the end of the year to save enough before I can use them to buy cloth!
Now, no one has any objection to giving other people's children some convenience, especially since the children are asking for help from us!
So, Lin Manman got a lot from this round of begging. She got nearly 20 feet of cloth. Not to mention making a set of clothes, for someone with her stature, it was enough to make two sets of clothes!
Lin Manman looked at the cloth coupons in his hand and was very satisfied. He quickly put them in his pocket and said to Liu Daqiang happily:
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. I have borrowed all the cloth coupons. They are enough for me to make a dress. When Uncle Liu and my mother issue the cloth coupons at the end of the year, don't forget to return them to these kind uncles and aunts!"
"Oh, I'm going to the countryside tomorrow, and I haven't prepared anything yet. I won't chat with Uncle Liu anymore. I'm going to take the money Uncle Liu gave me and buy the things I need for the countryside!"
After saying that, Lin Manman didn't even look at Liu Daqiang's expression. She pushed the crowd away and ran away quickly!
After leaving the meat union’s family compound, Lin Manman randomly found an empty alley and entered the space directly!
She is not planning to go back to Liu's house today. She will just stay in the space for one night and go directly to the train station tomorrow!
It’s not that he was afraid of these people, but mainly because Lin Manman was “kind-hearted” and wanted to let the people at home digest the news of going to the countryside on their own!
Besides, there was nothing to eat at home, so she didn't want to starve with them!
