Chapter 2: First time praising my husband
"Xiuzhen, it's time to eat." Before he finished speaking, Tan Yanlin had already opened the door with food in his hand. Seeing Deng Xiuzhen stretching her limbs there, Tan Yanlin was stunned for a moment. When she was young, Deng Xiuzhen would stretch herself freely like this, but she never did that again after getting married. Looking at her now, he couldn't help but think of the past, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Thinking about how she was in her thirties and still jumping around like a child, Deng Xiuzhen smiled sheepishly and said, "I'd better go out for dinner."
"Okay, good." Qin Yanlin brought the food back to the table.
"Mom, sit here!" Wen Jing asked Deng Xiuzhen to sit next to her.
"Xiuzhen, what is big brother going to do?" Tan Yanlin asked after taking a bite of his meal.
Big brother? Deng Xiuzhen remembered the reason why she was lying in bed today! Big brother asked her to borrow 10,000 yuan, saying that he wanted to invest. At this time in the previous life, she thought that big brother was smart, could make money, and could take charge. She always respected him very much, and even thought that big brother asked her to borrow money because he thought highly of her, so she agreed readily without any hesitation.
But Qin Yanlin refused, saying that his family had saved tens of thousands of yuan by living frugally and working hard from dawn to dusk in business, but now that the supply and marketing cooperative was restructured, his family had to find another way out.
So I planned to buy the land next door and build a house, open a store on the first floor for business, and live on the second floor. Building a house costs money, buying goods costs money, children's education costs money, family life also requires money, and interpersonal relationships also require money, everything costs money.
Of course, Qin Yanlin said these were secondary. The main thing was that he didn't know what kind of investment his brother was making, and if he lost money, he would lose everything.
Deng Xiuzhen was initially persuaded by Tan Yanlin, but when she returned to her mother's home, her mother said that she had no conscience and that not helping her elder brother meant that she did not care about her mother, was unfilial to her mother, and was extremely rebellious.
After being indoctrinated by her family, she felt that she was extremely wrong and that she would be making a huge mistake if she did not lend money to her elder brother, so she hurried home to ask Qin Yanlin to lend money to her elder brother.
Tan Yanlin said that if he lent money to Deng Chunlin, then Brother Xinlin would have to lend it as well. Otherwise, if he lent it to his father-in-law's family and not to his own eldest brother, his parents would also scold him. By then, his own family would have a hard time and could not even build a house. If he could not build a house, how would he make a living?
Deng Xiuzhen felt that Tan Yanlin did it on purpose and that he did not trust his elder brother. In fact, he did not value her, so she went out in the rain out of anger and caught a cold when she came back. Tan Yanlin asked her to take medicine but she refused to take it, and asked her to eat but she refused to eat. The two of them were in a stalemate.
However, she was reborn at this time, and because all she remembered were the past twenty years with her children, she didn't think about the things in this life at all, and even forgot that she and her husband were having a conflict.
As for her eldest brother's matter, she knew the follow-up: in her previous life, at her insistence, they lent the money to Deng Chunlin. Who knew that Deng Chunlin would use the money to lend out at high interest rates, and in the end, as Qin Yanlin said, he lost all his money, and he never paid it back.
After this incident, he not only did not repent, but went further and further. Because he did not follow the right path, he was imprisoned for several years. After returning, he kidnapped a relative's child to get money, and ended up being imprisoned for two more years. After returning, no one dared to deal with him, especially those who had children at home. Even Deng Xiuzhen, the biological sister, did not dare to let her eldest brother know where her home was, because she had to be responsible for her grandson.
"Xiuzhen?" Tan Yanlin looked at the silent Deng Xiuzhen with concern, sighed and said, "Then lend it to me, and let Brother Chunlin come to get the money tomorrow."
"Ah? What did you say? What do you mean by come to get the money?" Deng Xiuzhen didn't say anything because she was thinking about the follow-up. She didn't hear clearly what Qin Yanlin said. She only heard the three words "come to get the money."
"I mean, let Chunlin come to get the money, we'll lend it to him, and you should stop being angry. If you get angry and something bad happens, the children will also do evil, and I won't feel good about it." After saying this, Tan Yanlin lowered his head and drank a mouthful of soup to hide his unhappiness. He really didn't want to lend the money, because his family needed the money urgently, but mainly because he always felt that Deng Chunlin didn't do his job properly, and that crooked things were easy to cause problems.
But if they didn't lend it, it wouldn't be a good idea for the couple to be so angry. So they decided to lend it. If they could pay it back in the future, they would think of it as picking up money; if they couldn't pay it back, they would think of it as a business loss.
"We won't lend the money to anyone, not my brother or your brother. Let's live a good life and give our children a good future!" said Deng Xiuzhen.
"What did you say?" Qin Yanlin suddenly raised his head. The surprise came too suddenly and he was a little bit unbelievable.
"I mean we shouldn't borrow the money and just live a good life." Deng Xiuzhen looked at Tan Yanlin seriously and said.
"Really, you really won't lend it to me?" Tan Yanlin still couldn't believe it.
"I really won't lend it to you." Deng Xiuzhen nodded seriously.
"You're not saying that in anger, are you?"
"no."
"That's good, that's good!" Qin Yanlin patted his chest, but forgot that he was holding chopsticks in his hand and dropped them to the ground.
"Dad, you will be beaten if you drop your chopsticks on the ground!" Wen Yu said loudly.
"Dad was wrong, he deserves to be beaten." Qin Yanlin smiled, picked up the chopsticks and went to the kitchen.
Deng Xiuzhen felt very uncomfortable when she saw Wen Yu's chubby appearance. How could such a cute child become so selfish and heartless when he grew up?
"Mom?" Deng Xiuzhen's gaze made the three children feel something. They were used to the quarrels between their parents, because they would quarrel every few days, either because of the purchase of goods or because of family matters, and most of the time it was because their mother's family came to borrow money. But they had never seen their mother look at them like this.
"It's okay, you guys eat. I noticed that Yuyu seemed to have grown taller, his clothes were a little short, and his hair was a little long. I'll take him to get a haircut on Sunday." The children's reactions reminded Deng Xiuzhen not to show her emotions too much, as it would scare them.
"We have almost finished discussing the foundation. Once we complete the formalities tomorrow, we will prepare to buy stones and hire someone to lay the foundation." Qin Yanlin was in a good mood as he did not want to borrow money. He was talking about tomorrow's plan before he even sat down.
"Yanlin, I think we still need to think about the foundation issue." Deng Xiuzhen said carefully.
"Ah? What are you considering? We have already paid the deposit, and we won't get it back if we don't buy it. Besides, buying the foundation to build a house is definitely a good thing, Xiuzhen, you have to believe in my vision." Qin Yanlin hurriedly persuaded. He thought Deng Xiuzhen had doubts about whether the foundation was cost-effective, and at the same time, he also felt that Deng Xiuzhen had some ideas about borrowing money.
"Yanlin, I'm not saying that this won't make money. Your decision is definitely right. My husband, Yanlin, you are capable. I am absolutely sure of this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have listened to you and not loaned money to my brother." In my previous life, I often heard these words from couples who picked up and dropped off their children at school. After hearing them so many times, I said them naturally.
"I, I" Tan Yanlin, who had never heard Deng Xiuzhen say these words, blushed and was a little tongue-tied. These words sounded a bit corny, but he was very happy in his heart. Who doesn't like to be praised? What's more, she was always a bit strong, always singing the opposite tune of himself, and always belittling his wife to praise him? That feeling was simply too good.
"I heard someone say today that the team also wants that piece of land, and we can't win the fight. Rather than making an enemy and still not getting it, it's better to give it to them and do them a favor."
"The team wants that piece of land? Why haven't I heard about it? I'll talk to the team, there shouldn't be a problem, don't worry." Qin Yanlin was a little confused, but he still hurried to comfort Deng Xiuzhen.
"I also heard about it when I came back today. I'm not sure about the details. How about we go to bed early today and see how it goes tomorrow?" Deng Xiuzhen didn't say anything definite. She just wanted to give Tan Yanlin some ideas so that he wouldn't be so insistent on wanting that piece of land.
Because she knew that the one who really wanted the land was not the team, but the captain's cousin, Tan Xiubing. Tan Xiubing was not an easy person to deal with, and he had people in both the red and black worlds. In the previous life, it was he who used a dirty trick to hurt Tan Yanlin, but in the end he got it, and Tan Yanlin was injured, but he didn't suffer any loss at all.
