Chapter 57 Ask Lu Mingfeng to borrow money

Last time Lu Mingqi asked Shen Jiale to borrow money for work, but Shen Jiale was unwilling to lend it. Liang Qiaoli thought that it would be better not to borrow money again, so as not to ruin the relationship between the two brothers.

Lu Yongfu said: "Building a house is a big deal. They are brothers, so they should help each other. Mingfeng still has wages, so ask him to lend his wages to Mingqi."

The couple came to Shen Jiale's residence. Lu Mingfeng was putting a straw hat on Shen Jiale and preparing to go to work in the fields.

"Dad, Mom, aren't you going to work?" Lu Mingfeng asked.

Lu Yongfu said: "We have something to ask you."

Seeing that her parents-in-law were busy, Shen Jiale asked Lu Mingfeng to stay and she could go to work.

Liang Qiaoli asked her to wait, Shen Jiale should also have the right to know.

If she disagrees, don't force it.

You can't let the younger son and his wife quarrel just for the eldest son to build a house.

Lu Yongfu said: "Your eldest brother wants to build a house, but he doesn't have enough money. You can lend him some money."

Lu Mingfeng said: "Since it is your eldest brother who wants to build a house, why doesn't your eldest brother come forward?"

Lu Yongfu said: "Your eldest brother builds a house, and we will live with him. This money is considered as a loan from you by the two of us old people."

Lu Mingfeng asked: "Who will pay back the money in the future?"

Lu Yongfu said he would pay it back.

"In other words, Dad is going to pay for big brother to build a house?"

Lu Yongfu did not deny: "Your sister and I are going to live in two rooms in the house, so it's only right that you pay some money."

Lu Mingfeng asked: "Dad, if I build a house, will you give me some money?" "

How can I give you money?" Realizing that he came to borrow money, he added: "You have enough money to build a house, you don't need me to pay."

Lu Mingfeng smiled: "Whether I have money or not is one thing, and whether Dad is willing to help me is another. Dad can't treat everyone equally, and he can't use me as a favor."

...

After hitting a wall with Lu Mingfeng, Lu Yongfu did not give up. On the way to work, he asked Liang Qiaoli to talk to Shen Jiale.

"You two have a good relationship. Persuade Mingfeng's wife. Now they lend money to Mingqi to build a house. When they want to build a house, Mingqi will also help them."

Liang Qiaoli said, "Didn't you hear clearly just now? Mingfeng also wants to build a house."

"Doesn't he have a new house to live in? Why does he want to build

another one?" "It's just a mud house. Mingqi wants to live in a tiled house. Doesn't Mingfeng want to? Besides, Mingfeng can afford it now, and he doesn't need Mingqi's help." "

You woman, I asked you to borrow money, not to argue with me."

"If you have the ability, go and borrow it yourself. I'm not the head of this family."

...

At noon, Lu Yongsheng came to Lu Yongfu and said that Lu Mingxuan wanted to reassign Lu Mingqi to a new job, this time as a regular employee in the factory.

Lu Yongfu and his son became interested as soon as they heard it.

Lu Mingqi asked impatiently, "When can I go to work?"

Lu Yongsheng said, "You know how popular a regular job is. If you go to work, you can get more than 30 yuan a month."

Lu Mingqi asked, "Do you need to pay again? I want to build a house, but I can't afford it."

Lu Yongsheng said, "Don't be so short-sighted. If you have a job, the factory will allocate dormitories for you. Why do you need to build a house yourself? This time you just need to pay 100 yuan."

This was very tempting. The 100 yuan would pay back in three months.

Lu Mingqi went into the house to ask Zhou Min for money, but Zhou Min disagreed.

Seeing that Lu Mingqi had gone into the house and was taking a long time to come out, Lu Yongsheng asked Lu Yongfu to hurry him up.

Lu Yongfu went to call someone and came back to say that the young couple wanted to discuss it.

Lu Yongsheng smiled and said, "Women are always short-sighted. If you encounter such a thing, you must seize the opportunity, otherwise someone else will get there first. Third brother, you should persuade them to make a decision early."

Lu Yongfu nodded to show that he understood.

In the room, Lu Mingqi was also asking Zhou Min: "This time it's not cleaning the toilet, it's a formal job. Last time you helped me find a job and even refused the betrothal money. Why don't you agree this time?"

Zhou Min said: "Because Brother Mingxuan cheated us before."

Lu Mingqi said: "It's not cheating. He did help me find a job last time, but I just didn't want to do it."

Zhou Min poked Lu Mingqi's head: "Are you stupid? Last time, my second brother said that if you want that job, you don't have to spend a penny and I can help you get it, but Brother Mingxuan asked you for 200 yuan."

"Maybe it's because Mingfeng is more related to Mingxuan."

Zhou Min said, "Since the second brother is more related to Mingxuan, why don't you ask the second brother for help? Don't brothers work harder than outsiders?"

"That's right, why didn't I think of that?"

...

Zhou Min went home today and told her parents about building a house.

When chatting with her mother, she mentioned the Lu family.

She used to envy the family atmosphere of the Lu family, where brothers helped each other and loved their nephews and nieces.

After getting married, she found that Lu Yongfu's family was always the one who paid and never got anything in return.

This made Zhou Min more determined to build a house.

She was worried that the betrothal money would be coveted by others.

Thinking back carefully to the last time, the job that Lu Mingxuan introduced to her husband was clearly a scam for Lu Mingqi. If Lu Mingfeng hadn't stopped it in time, the betrothal money would have been swindled away.

But the father and son of the Lu family didn't notice anything wrong.

Today, when Lu Yongsheng came, Zhou Min became alert.

Sure enough, Lu Yongsheng came to ask for money under the guise of introducing a job.

Regardless of the authenticity of the job introduction, Zhou Min simply didn't trust Lu Yongsheng.

During dinner, Lu Yongfu brought up work again. Zhou Min said, "Dad, work is important, but it's not as important as letting you two live in a big tiled house."

Lu Yongfu felt very happy, but he still said, "I know you are filial, but job opportunities don't come often. I went to borrow money today but didn't get any. It's okay to build the house slowly."

Lu Mingqi said, "Dad, I'll ask Mingfeng for help with the job. The job that Mingxuan introduced last time cost so much money, but Mingfeng said he could do it for free."

Lu Yongfu said coldly, "Don't count on him. If he is capable, he would have found a formal job and it would be your turn. I went to him to borrow money, but he refused."

After returning to the house, Lu Mingqi said, "I think what Dad said makes sense. If there was a good job, Mingfeng would definitely keep it for himself first. How could he give it to me?"

Zhou Min said, "It's normal to think about yourself first. Dad always thinks of your uncle's family when something good happens. Otherwise, Mingxuan's job would be yours. No matter how bad your second brother is, has he ever plotted against you or tried to steal your things?"

Lu Mingqi shook his head.

Zhou Min continued, "What's most important for us now is to build a house."

Of course, Lu Mingqi also wanted to build a tile house, but he didn't have enough money.

Zhou Min said he would go back to her parents' home to borrow some money.
