Guiying probably felt a little embarrassed, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything more!
Bai Aiping's husband, Company Commander Li, was already a well-known second-best fan of Regiment Commander Gao. Naturally, Bai's wife had to speak up:
“Guiying, five hundred yuan is indeed a bit too much. Look around, who can come up with that kind of money all at once? Even two hundred yuan might not be enough, right? Besides, the regimental commander’s family just bought some household items today, how could they possibly have any extra money? Didn’t you borrow money from the yard before?”
Even if not everyone lent money to Guiying, based on Lao Xu's connections, Guiying could still borrow at least three or four hundred yuan here!
"I... how could that little money be enough? I was just thinking that the commander's family would be better off than the rest of us, so..."
So you're asking for an exorbitant amount, five hundred right off the bat?
Damn, who gave you the nerve?
Ye Wanying didn't want to waste any more words. She pulled out the fifty yuan the bookstore owner had given her in change from her pocket: "I really only have this much left. How about this, I'll keep twenty for living expenses, and I'll lend you the remaining thirty! I don't have any more!"
If Guiying is a good person, and if something really happens and she needs to be in an emergency, don't ask for 500; just based on the relationship between the child's father and Lao Xu, 5,000 would be fine!
Guiying knew she couldn't make any more, so she grabbed the thirty yuan from Ye Wanying's hand and said, "Thirty it is!"
Why do those words sound so harsh?
Thirty isn't a lot of money, is it?
If you're so capable, then don't want it!
Bai Aiping couldn't help but roll her eyes several times, but was pulled back by Aunt Chen next to her!
Finally, Guiying left, and the three people at the door breathed a sigh of relief!
Ye Wanying pouted before turning to Bai Aiping and Chen Xiaohong: "Sisters-in-law, please come in and have a seat!"
Since we're already at the doorstep, there's no reason not to invite them in!
The two of them didn't refuse and followed them inside!
Tuanzi has a good memory; as soon as she saw the two, she called out, "Aunt Bai, Aunt Chen!"
Bai Aiping and Company Commander Li have been married for several years, but they don't have any children, so she adores Tuanzi: "Oh my, my darling is so well-behaved!"
Tuanzi dislikes others touching her hair, but since it was her mother's friend, she had to endure it and swallowed a big bite of apple chunks from the spoon.
Ye Wanying watched her son's affected manner with interest, but didn't say anything to help him out. Instead, she brought out the remaining plate of apple slices and said, "Sisters-in-law, have some apples!"
Fortunately, the apple was cut into pieces, so I can easily make up an excuse! For example, I could say it was leftovers from someone else's sale, and I got it cheaply, so no one will suspect anything!
Bai Aiping and Chen Xiaohong are both thrifty and frugal women who would never normally spend money to buy such expensive fruits!
Their eyes lit up instantly, but then they remembered that not everyone could afford such a thing: "No, no, no, we're just coming in to sit down and chat!"
Ye Wanying smiled and said, "We were just about to invite you two sisters-in-law to help us out with our family's dinner party! Please don't be shy, sisters-in-law!"
Now, Bai Aiping and Chen Xiaohong didn't know how to refuse, and Ye Wanying's attitude was very firm!
The two of them each took a piece and ate it, looking quite reserved!
But Tuanzi, after finishing the apple in her bowl, obediently refused to eat anymore: "Mommy... let's go out and play..."
Kids are naturally active!
"Go out and have fun, but be careful! Don't fall!" I couldn't help but remind her.
