Chapter 24 Borrowing Money
Jiang Xinbai stuck out his tongue and whispered, "Your sister-in-law is angry."
"Don't mind her. She's very petty."
"That's right. She has been acting weird ever since I married into your family. By the way, you don't have to ask for leave tomorrow. I'll go and ask around myself. There's no need to worry about being fined for taking leave." Jiang Xinbai thought that it would be a good idea to ask his second sister to accompany him and borrow some money from her.
"Can you do it?" Yang Jinsheng was a little worried. Although his wife had been in the city for two months, he was still a little worried.
Jiang Xinbai patted his chest and said with a smile: "It has to be possible. It's okay. I'll let my second sister go with me. We can just go shopping. Besides, some things can only be discussed with a woman."
Next door, Li Huifen was still angry. She turned her back to her husband and rubbed her feet on the bed uncontrollably, just like an angry child. It was quite interesting.
"Yang Jinqiang, what do your parents mean? It's fine if your two younger brothers don't want to help, but your parents will live with us in their old age. Now they are favoring the two younger ones. Aren't they afraid that we won't provide for them in the future?"
Seeing that her husband hadn't said anything, Li Huifen couldn't help but turned around and spoke angrily.
Yang Jinqiang was a little annoyed and complained, "Who told you to speak so rudely? You didn't even speak softly when you asked for money from others, and you were so arrogant. Who would be willing to lend you money?"
"Oh, you make it sound like you're talking nicely. We're the same, so no one should criticize anyone else." Li Huifen would not tolerate him. Why should she take the blame?
Yang Jinqiang scratched his hair, glanced at the next door, and hushed, "Keep your voice down, I have something to tell you. I guess we can't count on that job at the state-owned restaurant anymore. Why don't we look for the one at the textile factory cafeteria? It's temporary, so let's do it first. What do you think?"
"You," Li Huifen covered her mouth and pointed to the next door, "Do you mean to intercept? What if the third brother finds out and makes a fuss?" Although Li Huifen is talkative on weekdays, she is mostly good at talking. If she is asked to do something wrong, she will still feel guilty, just like now.
"What is there to be afraid of? That child is not Yang Jin's. Whoever pays first will own it. But that job also pays two hundred and sixty. We have saved two hundred and eighty ourselves, plus what mom just gave us, we still have one hundred and twelve left. That's enough, let's take it." Yang Jinqiang calculated the money at home and decided it was a good buy. He hadn't seen the temporary job for only a few months, but the salary of two hundred had risen to two hundred and sixty. He was afraid that it would be harder to find a job in the future.
Li Huifen listened to the laughter coming from next door and said silently in her heart, everyone is doing it for themselves, Jiang Xinbai, don't blame me, it's just your bad luck, temporary workers can't get a permanent residence anyway, so you might as well give it to her.
Thinking of this, Li Huifen nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll listen to you and go tomorrow."
"Mom, what are you and Dad talking about? Where are you going tomorrow? I want to go too." Yang Zhenzhen, who was sleeping, suddenly spoke up, scaring Li Huifen and the others.
"You little bitch, why did you suddenly make a sound? You scared your mother to death. What good will it do you if I scare you to death?" Li Huifen slapped her elder daughter twice.
"Mom, it was the sound of you and Dad talking that woke me up~" Yang Zhenzhen felt a little aggrieved. Her mother was too unreasonable.
Yang Jinqiang patted his eldest daughter, winked at his wife, and comforted her, "Be good, Zhenzhen, go to sleep. Your mother is not blaming you. We didn't go anywhere. We just wanted to buy egg cakes for you and your sister. You can eat them tomorrow when you get home from school."
Yang Zhenzhen's eyes lit up when she heard this. She grabbed her father's hand and couldn't help asking, "Really? Dad, you didn't lie to me?"
"Of course, Daddy will definitely not lie to you. Go to sleep quickly. Daddy only likes obedient children."
Yang Zhenzhen nodded heavily, "Well, I'll go to sleep right away."
Yang Jinqiang watched his daughter close her eyes and her breathing gradually stabilize. After two minutes, he shook his head at Li Huifen and whispered, "You should avoid talking to them in the future. The children are older and can pass on messages."
Li Huifen also got angry when talking about this, "It's such a small place, where can you hide? Jinqiang, will you get a share in the housing distribution in the factory this time?" She also hoped to get a house of her own so that she could be the master of her own house.
Yang Jinqiang shook his head. "I'm not sure. The list hasn't come out yet. But it's actually pretty good for us to live at home..."
"What's good about it?" Li Huifen retorted before he could finish. She thought that there was such a small space and it was divided into four rooms. Everything the couple did could be heard clearly by others. It would be so frustrating.
Yang Jinqiang glanced at her and said, "Then do you think ten yuan a month is enough for food for our family of four? Isn't it our parents who are subsidizing us?"
"Aren't the second and third sons' families also receiving subsidies? What's there to say about this?"
"So, you said that after we move out and get our own room, we will have to cook for ourselves, and our expenses will increase. We can't just come back and eat for free."
"Of course not. If we live nearby, we will definitely come back." Li Huifen imagined herself eating her meal, putting down her bowl and chopsticks and leaving in a cool manner, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Why are you so happy? Forget it. Nothing has happened yet. Just go to sleep. It will all happen in my dreams." Yang Jinqiang covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Hey, how do you talk? If it exists in dreams, it must exist in reality as well."
Jiang Xinbai slept soundly that night without any dreams. On the contrary, Li Huifen had two dark circles under her eyes and looked listless.
Sun Erni frowned and said, "You are so young, don't think so hard. It will not do you any good."
Li Huifen nodded randomly, not knowing whether she had heard it or not. "Mom, I have something to do this morning and I won't be back until noon."
Jiang Xinbai also took the opportunity to report: "Mom, I won't be back for dinner either. I made an appointment with my second sister to go take a look nearby, you know." As he said that, he gave Sun Erni a look.
Sun Erni didn't know whether she understood or not, but Su Qiuyan definitely understood. She pulled Jiang Xinbai and whispered, "Xinbai, please pay attention to what I said last time. I won't treat you unfairly. I want five taels." Su Qiuyan had just earned a hundred last night, so she was very generous at this moment.
Jiang Xinbai nodded readily, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on you. Mom will be leaving first, too."
Sun Erni waved her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go!"
Jiang Xinbai, who was holding his second sister's arm, was thinking about how to ask for money, but Jiang Xinlan spoke first, "I say, I'm not used to you being silent all the time. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Jiang Xinbai chuckled twice, then whispered, "Second sister, nothing else, I found out about a job, but I'm short of some money, can you lend me some?"
"Work?" Jiang Xinlan's eyes flickered and her heart moved slightly.
