"Mother-in-law, I heard that Hong Xing borrowed 86 yuan from her parents some time ago, saying that it was for her brother-in-law to marry. Is that true?"
Ma Chunhua didn't expect him to mention this matter in front of Qin's mother, and her face looked a little embarrassed.
This kind of thing can be discussed in private. After all, borrowing money is not a glorious thing. If Qin's mother knew that she borrowed money from her daughter, she would feel inferior to Qin's mother.
But she did take the money, and she couldn't deny it.
She said vaguely: "Hong Xing gave some money, you also know that our family is not well off, his uncle is 20 years old this year and still not married.
I finally found someone, but my family didn't have enough money for the betrothal gift. Hong Xing and her younger brother have a good relationship, so she gave some money to supplement it."
Qin Laosi looked at her seriously and said, "Mother-in-law, please explain clearly whether this money is Hong Xing's contribution to her family or a loan to you."
Shen Anyian happened to hear this when he pushed the cart in.
Just when Ma Chunhua was about to lose control, she saw Shen Annian come in. She pretended that she didn't understand what he meant and immediately changed the subject.
"This girl is so beautiful. Is she your little daughter? I haven't seen her for only a year, but she's grown so big."
Qin's mother said, "She is the third son's wife and works in the commune."
Ma Chunhua immediately exclaimed, "Working in a commune means you're a state cadre. You're really capable."
Shen Annian parked the bicycle and warmed himself by the fire.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Mother Qin introduced Ma Chunhua to her, "This is Hong Xing's relative, this is my mother-in-law, and this is Hong Xing's sister-in-law."
Shen Annian greeted them with a smile, "So you are relatives from my fourth brother's wife's family. You knew she just gave birth, so you came to see her, right?"
Ma Chunhua nodded, "That's right, we heard Hong Xing gave birth to a child, so we had to come and see.
Hong Xing is so lucky to have married into such a good family and live in a blue brick house. How many people in the village can live in such a nice house?
She was really good at talking sweet words, but she wouldn't be fooled so easily.
Shen Annian pretended to look at Qin Laosi with doubt, "When I came in just now, I heard you talking about paying back the money. Is it Hong Xing's family who came to pay back the money?
Auntie, it’s great that you came at the right time. You don’t know how much money Hong Xing spent on her hospitalization this time.
I heard Hong Xing borrowed quite a bit of money from you guys. They probably don't have much savings left, and their child has just been born, so they need a lot of money. You guys are really timely help, and you came just in time."
Ma Chunhua looked at her and was speechless for a long time.
Who wants to pay back the money? She has no intention of paying it back.
"His sister-in-law, you misunderstood. We are not here to repay the money. We are here to see Hong Xing and her daughter."
Shen Anyian frowned and looked at her, "Do you mean you don't plan to pay back the money?"
Ma Chunhua had this plan, but she didn't have the nerve to say it in front of Qin's mother and Qin Laosi.
"It's not that we don't want to pay it back, we just don't have the money yet.
You know it's hard for farmers to make money. We only make a few bucks a year. We really can't afford to pay that much."
Shen An Nian nodded in agreement, "It's not easy to make money these days. I think it's better to do this. You guys sign a receipt first, and then return it to Lao Si when you have money in the future."
Ma Chunhua naturally didn't want to do that. Once the money was in her hands, it was hers.
Who the hell is this person? Why should she sign a document?
Shen An Nian naturally saw that she was unhappy, and continued: "If you don't sign this document, what will outsiders say about your family?
My brother-in-law is a grown man, but he specializes in sucking the blood of his own sister. He even asks his sister to pay the betrothal money. Is he still a man?
How will my brother-in-law go out in the future?
Auntie, the Gao family shouldn't have fallen to this level, don't you think?"
Ma Chunhua was so angry that her liver hurt. She would scold anyone who lost face.
Qin Laosi also reacted and said to Ma Chunhua: "Mother-in-law, I regard the money Hong Xing gave you as a filial piety.
But my brother-in-law is getting married, and it doesn't make sense for me, as his brother-in-law, to pay for the bride price. No matter where you talk about this, it doesn't make sense."
Ma Chunhua murmured, "I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back."
Shen An said: "I knew that Auntie is not the kind of person who would refuse to pay her debts. Lao Si, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you find a pen and paper to write down the receipt?
This document must be written clearly, and the repayment date should be set in one month..."
Ma Chunhua: "One month? Where can we get so much money? At least three months."
"That's a deal, three months."
Ma Chunhua: ...
Who told her that?
She just opened her mouth in vain.
She didn’t speak, but Shen An Nian had her own way, “If you can’t pay back the money on time, what can you use as collateral?
Fourth Brother, you know your father-in-law's family better, so you should tell us."
Qin Laosi thought about it carefully and really hadn't thought about whether the Gao family had anything valuable.
Even if he had it, he couldn't use it.
"I heard there's a sewing machine."
Shen Anyan: "Then use the sewing machine as collateral."
Ma Chunhua immediately cried out, "No way! The sewing machine is only about 100 yuan, and we'll only lend you a little over 80. Why do you have to use the sewing machine as collateral?"
Qin Laosi: "This is just a mortgage. I will take the sewing machine back only if you don't pay me back.
If you pay me back, I won't take the sewing machine, that's fine."
What do you mean there's nothing wrong? There's a big problem.
How can they be considered state officials? They are bandits.
"Zhengfeng, don't worry, we will definitely return the money to you."
