Chapter 354 There is still a next step
Wei Zhenghao looked at Zhu Qiulian blankly, and didn't say anything for a while.
While they were talking, the two sons of Mr. Wei ate up all the meat in front of them.
After finishing the meal, the two children were still not satisfied and looked at their eldest daughter-in-law eagerly: "Mom, do you have any more meat? I want to eat more!"
"Mom, I haven't eaten enough yet. My brother ate all of it just now, and I didn't even eat a few pieces!"
"You're talking nonsense. You clearly ate the most just now."
…
Seeing that the two children were getting more and more aggrieved, Zhu Qiulian quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's stop arguing. Grandma, give us the money and we can just buy another plate."
Anyway, her youngest son knew that she had money, so she stopped pretending.
After so many days of pretending, my grandson hasn't had much time to eat meat, which is why he is so greedy.
She took out her handkerchief, opened it, took out ten yuan from it, and handed it to her eldest daughter-in-law: "Go to the small shop in front and see if there is any left. If there is, buy more. There are so many people in our family!"
The eldest daughter-in-law took the money and left happily with her child.
"Mom, I gave you a lot of money before, how could you do this?" Wei Zhenghao said impatiently.
He used to work for Zhang Yao, who gave him 300 yuan every month.
After deducting household expenses, I can save about two hundred yuan a month.
At that time, he was afraid that Zhang Yao would want it back, so he gave it all to his mother.
Why is it so difficult to get back the three hundred yuan now?
"No, don't even think about it!" Zhu Qiulian waved her hand and said.
"Count it as a loan from me. I'll write you an IOU!" Wei Zhenghao added, "Not only will I write you an IOU, I'll also pay you interest. Is that okay?"
But no matter what Wei Zhenghao said, Zhu Qiulian didn't move.
"You've gone too far. I won't beg you anymore. Don't bother me in the future!" Wei Zhenghao was so angry that he slammed the door and walked out.
The loud noise startled Zhu Qiulian.
Boss Wei was also startled. Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly thought of something: "Mom, if you make the second brother angry now, what will you do if Zhang Yao doesn't come over later?"
Zhu Qiulian was annoyed when she thought of this: "Why didn't you remind me just now? You could have interrupted me, but what should I do now?"
Zhang Yao is the first person in the village to grow vegetables, and she is the only one who understands what is going on.
Although other families also grow some vegetables for their own consumption, they are not very good at it. Basically, they just find an empty space at the edge of the field, sow seeds and let them grow on their own.
It’s yours to eat anyway, so it doesn’t matter what shape it grows into.
It’s better to be ugly, no one will steal it!
So in this matter, I really can only ask Zhang Yao for help.
The mother and son were worried at home, and Wei Zhenghao wandered around outside and went to the grocery store in front.
The small shop in the village is fully functional and sells everything, including steamed buns, pork heads, and simple cold dishes. Although they are not delicious, many people come to buy them during the busy farming season.
After entering the store, he said directly: "Uncle Si, give me three yuan of pork head meat. I don't have any money. Please keep the bill for me first, and I will pay you back another day."
Everyone in the village is related, so the shop owner has to call him Fourth Uncle.
Since he had no money, he didn't dare to buy more. He bought less and just had enough to satisfy his hunger.
"Okay, do you want a thinner or fatter one?"
Wei Zhenghao said: "A fatter one!"
He looked at the meat and swallowed his saliva.
Fourth uncle asked jokingly, "What's going on with your family? You've come to buy pig heads three times in one day. If you like it so much, you should buy more each time to save the trouble of running errands!"
"Three times?" Wei Zhenghao asked in surprise.
"Yes, just now your sister-in-law brought her two children to buy something for ten yuan. You came right after they left. Half an hour ago, your mother also came to buy something." The fourth uncle didn't know about the Wei family's twists and turns. He cut the meat quickly, put it into a plastic bag, and handed it to Wei Zhenghao.
Wei Zhenghao looked a little dazed.
It turned out that the plate of meat on the table was not brought by my eldest sister-in-law's eldest brother, but bought by his mother.
But why lie to him?
He reached out and took the plastic bag from his fourth uncle.
He did not go back to his eldest brother, but returned to his own home.
He took a small stool and sat at the kitchen door. He stuffed meat into his mouth and felt more and more uncomfortable.
How much money has he given to the family over the years?
How many things did I buy for my mother and elder brother?
But, do they really need to do that? They have to hide even when eating meat.
It was clearly the mother who bought the meat, but she insisted on saying that the child’s uncle bought it. Are she afraid that he would eat it too?
Usually when he went to eat, there was no meat at all. How come there was meat on the table as soon as he left today?
Also, when my two nephews spent money, my mother gave them money so happily.
But when I lied to my mother and told her that Wenwen was sick, she showed no mercy at all!
He was very confused for a moment.
At half past one, Zhang Yao waited for a long time but Wei Zhenghao did not come to see her again.
She wondered in her heart: Could it be that the issue of borrowing money has caused a stir?
Thinking of this, she was secretly happy.
After waiting for a while, she got up, changed her shoes and was about to go out.
Zhang Kun asked her, "You want to water the fields this afternoon? I'll go with you. We're not in a hurry to go back anyway!"
If he talks, he will follow.
Zhang Yao said mysteriously, "I won't go to the field yet. I'm going to look for Wei Zhenghao."
Zhang Kun was a little surprised: "Why are you looking for him?"
Zhang Yao smiled: "We can't break up with him now, there will be more fun to watch next!"
Zhang Kun didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Yao smiled and said, "Yuanyuan didn't just tell me that. In fact, borrowing money was just a prelude. After all, she is his biological mother. How could Wei Zhenghao break up with his mother so easily? It shouldn't be for a mere three hundred yuan."
"What's the next step?"
Zhang Yao nodded. "In half a month or so, the eggplants in their shed will be ripe. According to the old woman's character, she probably won't share the money with Wei Zhenghao. By then..."
As she spoke, Zhang Yao raised her head and looked at Zhang Kun, saying, "Yuanyuan's little brain is really useful. She has thought of so many things in just a short while."
Zhang Kun sighed and whispered, "I'd rather she wasn't so smart. Why would a little kid always think so much?"
After that, he asked Zhang Yao: "Do you need me to go with you?"
Zhang Yao shook her head: "Don't worry, they need my help now, they dare not do anything to me."
After saying that, Zhang Yao turned around and left home.
Looking at Zhang Yao's back, Zhang Kun sighed helplessly.
Zhang Yao soon arrived at Wei Zhenghao's home, a place where she had lived for seven or eight years and was very familiar to her.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Wei Zhenghao sitting at the kitchen door with a gloomy face and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing Zhang Yao coming over, he quickly stood up, and his face changed into an attentive expression: "Why are you here? I was thinking of picking you up later!"
