Chapter 272 Sister-in-law Asks for Money
When Chen Cui'e heard the voice of her eldest daughter-in-law, she subconsciously touched the small cloth bag that her daughter had just given her. She felt relieved when she saw that it was hidden tightly.
Then he stood up, took the old hen from his eldest daughter-in-law, turned to look at his youngest daughter, and said, "Xiaobai, don't go back at noon. I'll make you some chicken soup later. Your sister-in-law's chicken is very fat, and it will definitely be delicious when you make soup with it."
"Okay, I was planning to go back, but sister-in-law kept me here because of a chicken. Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Jiang Xinbai smiled at Wu Hehua. She knew that her sister-in-law was looking for her because of something! Her sister-in-law hadn't caused any trouble in the past few years, and they got along very well. When they all went to Shenzhen later, her parents would need more care from her brother and sister-in-law, so as long as it wasn't too difficult, Jiang Xinbai would help if she could.
Wu Hehua was relieved to see Jiang Xinbai happy. She pulled a chair over and sat next to her. Then she saw her mother-in-law killing a chicken in the yard with a knife. So she whispered, "Xiaobai, you will all go to Shenzhen in a few days. You are so lucky. You can buy a house in a big city. Unlike us..."
Jiang Xinbai had no intention of listening to these complaints, so she changed the subject directly and said, "Sister-in-law, you and brother also made a lot of money raising pigs last year, right? Congratulations!"
"Well, it's nothing. It's all hard-earned money. We worked from dawn to dusk. When the pigs were about to be sold, your brother and I slept directly in the pig farm, for fear that someone would poison them." Wu Hehua said it was a big deal, but she was very proud in her heart. They earned several thousand yuan from raising pigs last year alone. Hehe, it was the first time she had seen so much money!
"That's all thanks to you, sister-in-law. My brother has a capable wife like you to help him, so his life is getting better and better."
Jiang Xinbai also smiled and praised her. She knew that her sister-in-law loved to hear good words, so there was no harm in praising her.
"Yes, your eldest brother requires me to make the decisions on everything. Alas, I was exhausted last year." Wu Hehua complained with a smile. Although she was very tired, she also gained a lot.
Thinking of this, she looked at Jiang Xinbai, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Xiaobai, um, sister-in-law has something to ask you."
Jiang Xinbai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Just tell me what's the matter. We are all family. Sister-in-law, I will definitely help you if I can. We will not be around in the future, and mom and dad will still rely on you to take care of them!"
Wu Hehua understood immediately after hearing this and assured her, "Xiaobai, don't worry, your parents will live with us, and we will definitely take good care of them."
"That's not necessary. When we go to Shenzhen, Mom and Dad will move into our house. You can just visit them from time to time. My second brother and eldest sister and I have already talked about this."
Although it will definitely be more convenient for the eldest sister and second brother who live in the city to take care of our parents in the future, the eldest sister has to take care of the grandchildren and may not be able to free herself. As for the second brother and his wife, although they can do it, we can't just take care of his family. More people mean more strength!
When Wu Hehua heard that her parents-in-law were moving to the city, she felt envious, "Oh, my parents are really good at enjoying life, raising a good daughter like you, Xiaobai."
"Look at what my sister-in-law said. Aren't Hongyan and Zhengnan very well behaved? What else are you not satisfied with?"
"Well, yes, they are quite obedient. When we were raising pigs last year, they felt sorry for us and stayed up for us for several nights, so that we could have some rest and have more energy later. But speaking of this, Xiaobai, my sister-in-law shamelessly asked you to borrow money today. Do you think you can help her?"
Wu Hehua finally asked for it after talking for a while. There was no other way. The family was short of money, so she could only borrow from her sister-in-law. If it was not enough, she would have to ask the third brother and Xiaolan!
Jiang Xinbai smiled and replied, "Sister-in-law, seeing what you said, I will definitely lend it to you. Are you planning to expand the pig farm? How much money do you need?"
Wu Hehua shook her head and explained, "It's not a pig farm. Hey, I get angry when I talk about this. We rented the land from Aunt Fang's family before and paid for it every month. We wanted to raise a few more pigs this year, but they said they didn't want to rent it anymore. When your eldest brother asked around, hey, they took it back to raise pigs themselves. Don't you think I'm angry?"
Jiang Xinbai patted his sister-in-law's hand and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. It's normal. I'm jealous when I see you making money. That's how people are."
Wu Hehua nodded in agreement. "I'm jealous, of course. Besides, several families in the village want to raise pigs this year. Even many people in the neighboring village are raising pigs. Your elder brother and I are worried. We're afraid that if we raise pigs this year, the price of pork will drop by the end of the year. Then all our hard work will be in vain! So Zhengnan is smart. He asked us to raise chickens, saying that raising chickens has a short cycle and a quick return. Anyway, your elder brother and I don't understand it. He studies with a book every day and asks the teacher at the animal husbandry station. Anyway, he wants to give it a try."
Jiang Xinbai became more willing to lend money after hearing this. She knew that Zhengnan was a sensible child with his own ideas. Since it was something he wanted to do, he should be sure of it. As his aunt, she had to help him no matter what.
"That's fine. Raising chickens is also good. We can eat eggs and chicken, which is better than raising pigs. Sister-in-law, you haven't told me yet, how much do you need? Since Zhengnan wants to do it, I, as his aunt, can't be stingy."
As for the possibility of making a loss and not being able to pay her back, Jiang Xinbai was not worried at all. After all, given her nephew's personality, he would pay her back even if he had to work.
When Wu Hehua heard Jiang Xinbai say this, her face was so full of laughter that she slapped her thigh and said with a smile, "Oh, I said you are a good aunt, Xiaobai. Zhengnan is so lucky to have you as his aunt. Well, we want to rent another piece of land and try raising fewer animals this year. We made some money last year, so the difference is not too big. Xiaobai, can you lend us a thousand?"
After Wu Hehua finished speaking, she stared at Jiang Xinbai's face. Seeing that she frowned, she quickly said, "Xiaobai, it's okay. If you don't have a thousand, five hundred will be fine. We can raise fewer."
Jiang Xinbai saw that her sister-in-law had misunderstood, so she explained, "Sister-in-law, this is not about money. I want to ask you how dare you rent someone else's land? What if they drive you away again?"
