Chapter 114 Sister-in-law borrows money
Jiang Xinlan didn't think much about it and handed the child over directly, "Sister-in-law, where are Hongyan and the others? Why can't I see them?" She usually hangs around them when she comes back, why are they gone today?
"Oh, Xiaofang from the village is getting engaged today and they were distributing wedding candies, and they rushed to grab the candies." Wu Hehua said with a smile. If it wasn't for entertaining her two sisters-in-law, she would have also wanted to grab the wedding candies.
Chen Cui'e frowned when she heard this, "Why let them go? Have less contact with those educated youths."
Wu Hehua nodded indifferently, "We didn't let them come into contact with the educated youth. It's normal for them to crave candy. We shouldn't refuse it."
Jiang Xinbai, who was listening nearby, was startled and asked, "Xiaofang? Which one did you book?"
Before she got married, Jiang Xiaofang always liked to compete with her, either in food or clothes, but never in appearance, because she knew she couldn't win, haha!
Wu Hehua became excited when her sister-in-law asked about this. She pulled a chair and sat down, smiling, "It's Zhou Zhiqing, the most handsome one. Many girls in the village like him and often send him food and clothes. I didn't expect that he was won over by Jiang Xiaofang in the end."
It's not that Jiang Xiaofang is bad, it's just that the two of them are a bit mismatched. One is handsome and gentle, and polite. The other is ordinary-looking and has a hot temper. When these two are together, anyone would say that a flower is stuck in cow dung, and naturally the cow dung refers to Jiang Xiaofang.
After listening to this, Jiang Xinbai subconsciously glanced at her second sister, thinking that Zhou Zhiqing was lucky. Although Jiang Xiaofang was not good-looking, her family conditions were very good and her brothers loved her.
Jiang Xinlan didn't even frown when she heard Zhou Zhiqing's name. She was very calm. Fortunately, she had been very careful before and no one could find her fault. However, she was still a little surprised about what happened between Zhou Zhiqing and Jiang Xiaofang.
So he asked casually, "Didn't they say Zhou Zhiqing is from the city? Did his family come to the engagement this time?"
"Oh, what are you talking about? Zhou Zhiqing's parents are biased. They said they would not recognize a daughter-in-law from the countryside. They let Zhou Zhiqing handle it." Wu Hehua was very keen on finding out this kind of gossip, so naturally she found out everything.
"Oh~" Jiang Xinlan let out a long "oh".
Seeing them talking so excitedly, Sun Ju also joined in and said mysteriously, "There is something that sister-in-law definitely doesn't know. Zhao Xiaofang said she was getting married, but in fact, Zhou Zhiqing married into her family!"
"Really?"
"How do you know?" This question aroused Chen Cui'e's curiosity.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Sun Ju couldn't help but straighten her chest and said with a smile, "I heard it from Xiaofang's sister-in-law. You know, Xiaofang's brother and sister-in-law love her. Since Zhou Zhiqing's parents don't recognize Jiang Xiaofang, marrying into the family is the best choice. I heard that they will even build a house for them!"
"Tsk tsk, this Zhou Zhiqing is really lucky, not only did he get a wife for free, but someone also built a house for him, so amazing!" Jiang Xinbai sighed. Not only did he not spend a penny on the bride price, but he also got his wife's family to pay for the house. Isn't that amazing!
When Wu Hehua heard them mention the house, her eyes lit up and she said, "Oh, speaking of the house, my parents said they would give us a share of the family property after Baocheng and Qianqian get married. If nothing else, we have to build this house, but the money is really not good enough!"
"Why are you bringing this up for no reason? If you don't have enough money, can't you just live here first and then live in a place that you don't have?" Chen Cui'e understood what her eldest daughter-in-law meant, so she quickly spoke out to stop her.
Wu Hehua didn't care about her mother-in-law's sullen face. She looked directly at Jiang Xinbai and the others, "Xiaolan and Xiaobai, I have no choice but to ask you for money. Your brother and I haven't saved much money in these years, so we wanted to borrow some from you. But don't worry, we will pay you back as soon as possible."
Jiang Xinbai guessed what Wu Hehua meant before she opened her mouth, then glanced at her husband and said with a smile: "Look at what the sister-in-law said, we must help out a little if we have the ability."
"Yes, we are all family!" Yang Jinsheng also said. He was not a stingy person and his family had some money. Since it was such a big thing as building a house, he would naturally help.
Jiang Xinlan and Zhao Yita also echoed and said that how much to borrow depends on the situation.
Wu Hehua looked satisfied when she heard what they said. She smiled and said, "I knew you were capable. Unlike me and your elder brother, we have been digging in the fields all our lives. It's hard for us to even build a house..."
"Dad, Mom, are Xiaolan, Xiaobai and the others here?" At this time, Jiang Baoguo's voice came from outside the yard, and then he was seen walking in with fish.
Wu Hehua hurried over to greet him, nodded slightly to her husband, and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, Xiaobai, your eldest brother misses you so much. He knew you were going back to your parents' home today, so he went fishing in the river early in the morning. He caught two fish. He will take them with you when you come back."
"Yeah, I'm lucky today. The fish I caught is quite big." Jiang Baoguo also smiled and then put the two fish in a tank nearby.
When Chen Cui'e saw her eldest daughter-in-law say this, her face looked better. Well, at least she knew to bring gifts when borrowing money, which was considered sensible.
Jiang Xinbai looked at his elder brother with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, it must be cold by the river, come and warm yourself by the fire."
Jiang Baoguo stretched out his hand and leaned on the brazier. "It's quite cold, but it's worth it."
Wu Hehua came in with a bowl of hot water. "Hurry up, have a drink to warm yourself up. I just told Xiaolan and Xiaobai that we want to build a house, and they are willing to help us!"
Jiang Baoguo paused holding the bowl, and smiled awkwardly at his two younger sisters and their husbands, "Hey, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'm useless. I can't save much money in all these years. In the end, I have to borrow from you..."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Brothers and sisters are supposed to help each other. We are also happy that you are building a new house, right, second sister?" Jiang Xinbai raised his chin towards Jiang Xinlan.
"Well, Xiaobai is right, but second sister-in-law, aren't you and second brother building a new house?" It's impossible for one brother to lend while the other doesn't. You have to ask clearly first, so that you can decide how much to lend.
Sun Ju shook her head gently. "Bao's family said that we won't build it yet, and we'll live with my parents for a while. I'm not sure about the details." Seeing that her two sisters-in-law were so easy to talk to, she didn't say anything definite, in case her husband regretted building a house!
