Auntie comes to collect debt

"Bang--"

"Second brother, give me back the money. We don't want to lend you this money. You haven't paid me back the money I borrowed from you in March. How can you lend me money again?"

"My husband is a soft-hearted person, and you are trying to take advantage of him?"

"Give me the money quickly. You are such a shameless family. No wonder your sister-in-law left you."

The woman's voice was loud and rude.

The closer Shen Roujiao and the other two were, the clearer they could hear the sound. After confirming that the sound came from their home, the three of them ran back home.

Shen family.

Father Shen was holding a pipe with steam coming out of the mouth. He stood in front of the door at a loss, his honest face full of embarrassment, his lips opening and closing.

"Her aunt, I..."

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and give me my family's money!"

Next to the woman stood a middle-aged man who looked similar to Shen's father, also holding a cigarette in his hand. However, unlike Shen's father, his face showed embarrassment as well as shame and anger.

"Go ahead, I've already lent you the money, what do you want, woman?" He took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "What's wrong with me lending money to my own brother?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? How can we live like this? Erniu needs money to pay her tuition, and you lend money to others?"

"Brother and sister-in-law, stop arguing. I..."

"If you don't want us to quarrel, return the money to me."

Father Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, go to the room and get the money."

"good."

When Shen Roujiao and the other two arrived, Shen's father returned the money to Zhao Ye and said, "Don't be angry, sister-in-law. Here's the money for you."

"I still need twenty yuan. You should pay us back the money I borrowed from you in March. It's easy to make money these days." Zhao Ye said aggressively, "Why are you glaring at me? I'm doing this for you."

"I just pretend to be a nice guy. Is he rich or something?"

"This..." Father Shen was embarrassed.

"Pay it back quickly. If you have money, send your daughter to high school in the county. If you don't have money, pay it back to us."

"We are all family, why make such a fuss?" Shen Shanhe frowned.

"Family? You treat them as a family, and they treat you as a money bag. If you don't get the money back today, don't even think about entering the house." Zhao Ye shook off Shen Shanhe who was pulling her sleeve.

"We will return the twenty yuan to you, Auntie." Shen Roujiao walked into the courtyard with a cold face. "You can take these two yuan first, and we will return the rest to you within ten days."

"Okay, I'll come to your house again in ten days." Zhao Ye pulled Shen Shanhe away.

"Jiaojiao, where did you go? Lao Er gave the two dollars to your sister. How could you take Jiaojiao's money?"

Father Shen only thought that the two yuan was saved by Shen Roujiao. The four sons in the family had no pocket money, but Shen Roujiao had a few cents every day. Sometimes when she earned a lot, he would give her a dime or two.

"good."

Shen Tiancheng, the second son of the Shen family, took out two yuan from his remaining money and said, "Sister, take it."

He also took out two dimes from his own pocket and handed it to Shen Roujiao, "School is about to start, and there are many places to spend money. Take it. You don't have to worry about family affairs. We have brothers and father."

Shen Roujiao refused, "Dad, second brother, this money was earned by me, third brother and fourth brother this morning."

"Earned"

Shen's father and Shen Tiancheng were surprised, "How did you make money? Were you cheated?" Shen's father hurriedly walked to Shen Roujiao, looked carefully, and was relieved when he saw that she had no injuries. He turned around and scolded Shen Tiannan and Shen Tianyou, "Are you two itchy? Why did you take your sister to the market so early in the morning?"

"If something goes wrong, what should we do? Your eldest brother and I will take care of the family affairs. You guys don't have to worry about it."

Father Shen was both angry and relieved. He was angry because his two sons took their little daughter to the market. He just heard yesterday that a family in Donglinggou lost their daughter, who was not very old, about the same age as Shen Roujiao.

Fortunately, the children are sensible.

"Dad, I asked my third and fourth brothers to take me to the market." Shen Roujiao was afraid that her father would scold her two brothers, so she stood in front of them and said, "Dad, if you want to scold someone, just teach me."

"You..." Shen's father said helplessly, "You are not allowed to go there anymore. I and your brothers are at home, so just focus on your studies." Shen's father gently stroked Shen's soft hair, "Dad knows that we are cute and well-behaved and want to share the burden of the family."

"But your most important task now is to study hard." Father Shen took the money from Shen Tiancheng, "Take it. Your second brother is right. School is about to start and there are many places to spend money." Father Shen added seventy cents to make up three yuan and put it into Shen Roujiao's pocket.

"I'm going again. I promised Auntie that I would return the money to her within ten days." Shen Roujiao added, "I'm going to go tonight too. I can earn two dollars in the morning and two dollars in the evening, which means I can earn forty dollars in ten days."

"After paying Auntie back, I'll still have twenty left." Shen Roujiao arranged the money in a clear and detailed manner.

She originally planned to sell only one meal in the morning, but now she has to prepare to open the stall in the evening as well.

"Dad and your elder and second brothers will find a way to take care of your aunt's money. You don't have to worry about it." Father Shen stopped him. "It's so hot outside. What if she gets heatstroke?"

"My father and my two brothers are not afraid, and Jiaojiao is not afraid either."

She knew that her family had no money. School would start in a dozen days and she would be attending high school in Benyuan County. Tuition, accommodation, materials, and living expenses would cost her a lot of money.

"Jiaojiao is so good." Father Shen ruffled Shen Rou's soft hair, "Then let your second brother accompany you."

"Okay." Shen Roujiao agreed. She knew that Father Shen was worried about the three little ones. Her third brother was only three years older than her, which was equivalent to a freshman in college in modern times.

…

After Shen's father left, Shen Tiancheng asked carefully, "Little sister, is this money really earned by you?" You know, he, his elder brother, and his father, the three of them only make two and a half dollars a day working.

"It's not us who earned the money, it's my younger sister." In half a day today, Shen Roujiao refreshed Shen Tiannan and Shen Tianyou's worldview. They never thought that they could make money so easily!

"My younger sister made her money by selling tofu pudding, and here are the sweet potato cakes. Many people want to eat them, but unfortunately my younger sister only made enough for us." Shen Tianyou couldn't stop bragging.

"Jiao... Jiaojiao did it?" Father Shen was shocked.

Shen Rou smiled softly, "Dad, try it and see if it suits your taste. Second brother will eat it too."

Shen Tiancheng and Shen Tiannan entered the house after them.

"Dad, eat it now. Jiaojiao has really grown up and knows how to love dad, unlike those brats." Father Shen stroked Shen Rou's soft hair, picked up a sweet potato cake, took a bite, and his face was full of surprise, "Jiaojiao's cooking is really delicious."

Shen Tiancheng's stomach growled at the temptation. When he saw his father start eating, he hurriedly picked up the sweet potato cake and took a bite of it and a bite of tofu pudding.

In the middle of the table were candy powder, sesame oil, vinegar, chili peppers and pickled vegetables. He liked strong flavors, so he scooped a spoonful of pickled vegetables and a little chili pepper, mixed them evenly, and ate it with great relish.

Shen Tiannan and Shen Tianyou were obviously not hungry, but they could not help drooling as they watched their father and second brother eat so deliciously. The eldest brother was busy and couldn't catch up with breakfast, so Shen Roujiao asked them to eat Shen Tianhua's portion as well, "Dad, brother, you guys eat first, I'll go prepare the ingredients for dinner."

"Jiaojiao, don't go. If you need anything, tell these three and let them prepare it for you." said Father Shen.

"Yes, little sister, we will go there in a while, you just rest at home."

"You go back to your room and read and rest, we will do the chores."

The three of them hurriedly responded.

Finally, Shen Tiancheng took out a piece of fruit candy wrapped in white skin from his arms and said, "Someone gave it to me. I don't like to eat these. You eat it."

Without waiting for Shen Roujiao's agreement, Shen Tiancheng stuffed the candy into her arms and pushed her back to the house, "Go, have a rest." Before she could react, she was pushed out of the main room by her three brothers.

Standing in the yard, Shen Roujiao felt warm in her heart. This was the family love that she had never felt in modern times.

Although the Shen family was poor, the relationship between the five siblings was really good, and the four brothers really loved Shen Roujiao. This priceless relationship became even more precious in the future, and it always supported Shen Roujiao, and she kept moving forward towards money.

Coming to this strange world, she was more afraid of the cold and indifferent family relationship than being poor. The coldness of having no one to comfort her when she failed, no one to tell her about her success, no one to care about her, and her family treating her like an ATM machine made her doubt her life for a while.

Money is good, but what is better than money is feelings, including both family love and love.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have any of these in modern society.

Fortunately, in Shen Roujiao's world, she got it. As for making money, that was not a big deal.

Not only can she make money, she is also very good at making money!

"Chili? Just chili?" Why hadn't he heard that chili could be eaten as a meal? Would anyone like to eat a meal made entirely of chili? And late at night.

Shen Tiancheng was suspicious. It wasn't that he didn't believe his younger sister, it was just...

"Yes, I only want chili peppers. Can you please help me find some more, brother?"

"You really don't want any other dishes?" Before leaving, Shen Tiancheng kept asking, "If you don't want to spend money, I'll get it for you first. The profit is yours, and the loss is yours."

He still has one dollar in his hand.

It should be enough to buy what my sister needs.

"Second brother." Shen Roujiao dragged out a small long tone helplessly, "You should go quickly, it will be late if you go later. We have to open the stall at 5 pm, and it's already 9 o'clock now."

She pushed Shen Tiancheng out. There was nothing she could do, and Shen's father would not let her go no matter what, so she had to wait at home obediently.

"I'll go right away, second brother. He's heavy, be careful not to twist your hand." Shen Tiancheng didn't dare to use force and went out with the help of Shen Roujiao's strength. "Third and fourth brothers, take good care of little sister at home and don't go to the inner room to bother dad." He warned.

"Okay, go ahead, brother. We know what's going on."

After seeing Shen Tiancheng off, Shen Roujiao's eyes wandered between Shen Tiannan and Shen Tianyou. She wanted to sell skewers tonight.

"Third brother, fourth brother." She raised her eyes, raised the corners of her lips, and smiled sweetly.

Shen Tiannan and Shen Tianyou shuddered for no reason.

After a while, they understood the little sister's purpose, "Little sister, we can't sell so much in just one night, right? We still need to eat vegetables at home." Looking at the endless vegetable fields in front of him, Shen Tianyou's eyes turned black.

It would be better to let him buy chili peppers.

When will we be able to pick so many vegetables?

"Fourth brother can also choose to pick wild fruits in the mountains." Shen Rou smiled sweetly.

"No, no, fourth brother will help you pick vegetables here, and let third brother pick the wild fruits." Shen Tianyou inexplicably felt sorry for Shen Tiannan on the mountain.

well.

I don’t know what my younger sister is going to do.
