Chapter 437: Borrowing Money
The sound of keyboard clacking filled the entire master bedroom.
Li Xu sighed, sat on the bed and asked weakly, "Are you chatting with Mu Cheng?"
Ji Yuanyuan nodded: "Well, Brother Mu Cheng said that he just came back from my second aunt's family home, and my second uncle was also there. The atmosphere at home seemed a little strange."
Li Xu had no intention of caring about Li Yong at the moment. She lay on her back on the bed, muttering to herself, "Why is your second brother becoming more and more troublesome as he gets older? When he was little, he was such an obedient child!"
After hearing Li Xu's words, Ji Yuanyuan stopped moving her hands.
She turned around, looked at Li Xu, blinked, and then asked, "Mom, are you serious?"
Are you sure it’s not because of the mother filter?
Li Xu sighed again, "Although he was naughty in the past, it was just a minor incident, nothing serious. But I really didn't expect..."
He actually dared to start a group fight and was the leader.
Why is this child becoming more and more courageous?
He's only in middle school now, and he dares to do this! When he grows up, won't it be completely impossible to control him?
…
At the Qin family, Qin Xiaojie sat on the sofa with his head down.
Qin Xiaomin was sitting at the other end, holding the child, who was sleeping soundly in her arms.
Seeing this, Li Yong bent down and whispered to Qin Xiaomin: "Should I carry him to the bed?"
Qin Xiaomin nodded and handed the child to Li Yong.
Li Yong carefully took the child and carried him to a small room on the first floor.
After Li Yong took the child away, Qin Xiaomin looked at Qin Xiaojie and said, "Our parents gave you so much money, and you lost it all?"
In the first month of last year, Qin Xiaojie went to City B alone.
He has a good education and is very eloquent.
When I first went to City B, I actually found a good job.
Although I'm just an apprentice, my boss pays me a good salary.
At that time, his family advised him to work hard and not have any other thoughts.
But Qin Xiaojie was too ambitious and said he didn't want to work for others for the rest of his life.
So after working for a year, getting my year-end bonus and taking my annual leave, I quit my job.
At the beginning of the year, after Qin Xiaojie's constant persuasion and sweet talk, Niu Ailan and Qin Zhiye gave him 500,000 yuan to start a business.
Who would have thought that after just half a year, he returned home in disgrace.
"It's not like I lost everything..." Qin Xiaojie lowered his head and said awkwardly, "I lost a small part, and most of it was taken away by my partners."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ailan, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, covered her chest in anger.
"What sin have I committed? Why are all the children I gave birth to disobedient? Were you two sent by God to punish me?"
Qin Zhiye frowned and looked back. Seeing that Li Yong had not come out yet, he scolded in a low voice: "Just talk about Xiao Jie, why are you bringing up other people?"
My daughter and son-in-law have been married for two and a half years, and their grandson is already over two years old. During this time, he has seen how his son-in-law treats his daughter.
Although he is indeed lacking in terms of academic qualifications and family background, he can make money and is good for his daughter.
Moreover, he lives close to home and often brings his daughter and grandson home, and he rushes to do any housework.
This son-in-law is sometimes more useful than Qin Xiaojie, his own son.
Unfortunately, Niu Ailan still can't get over this problem until today, and she makes some sarcastic remarks from time to time.
Fortunately, the son-in-law has a good temper and doesn't bother with her.
If the daughter meets a narrow-minded son-in-law, won’t she be upset?
Qin Xiaomin listened and became a little angry: "Mom, if you do this again, I won't take care of this matter!"
Even Qin Xiaojie said weakly: "Mom, don't talk about my brother-in-law. Come to think of it, my brother-in-law lent me 30,000 yuan!"
"What? When did he borrow it? How come I didn't know about this?" Qin Xiaomin was furious when she heard this.
Qin Xiaojie didn't expect that Li Yong didn't tell Qin Xiaomin about this.
He stammered: "Ah, this is actually the case..."
Just then, Li Yong came out of the bedroom.
Qin Xiaomin gave him a look and he was a little stunned.
When he went in, weren't everyone still criticizing Xiao Jie?
Why did it seem like everyone was targeting him all of a sudden?
Li Yong slowed down his pace and came to Qin Xiaomin with some surprise.
"Did you lend money to Xiao Jie?" Niu Ailan asked first.
Hearing this, Li Yong touched his head and said naively, "Yes, I just happened to have some spare money, so I gave it to him. He needed it urgently, and we are all family."
"Aren't you harming him?" Niu Ailan scolded.
Li Yong was stunned.
He thought that his mother-in-law mentioned that he had lent money to Xiao Jie to thank him.
So you are trying to criticize him?
Did he make a mistake in borrowing the money?
Li Yong looked at Qin Xiaomin and spoke hesitantly, "How did I harm him? I lent him the money with good intentions. He said he had taken on a project and didn't have enough money, so I lent it to him."
"Where did you get the money? Have you learned to hide your private money now?" Qin Xiaomin said with a frown.
Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his wife, like his mother-in-law, disliked him for lending money to his brother-in-law.
Now it seems that although my wife and mother-in-law are both angry, they are angry for different reasons.
He explained, "No, I just happened to get this 30,000 when I sold a batch of vegetables. He asked me to use it, so I transferred it all to him. I didn't share it with my eldest brother and the others. I thought I would give all the money from the next sale to my eldest brother. I gave you all the money from other times. I didn't keep a penny for myself."
Qin Xiaomin was a little unconvinced: "Really?"
Li Yong nodded vigorously: "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, go home and search."
Qin Xiaomin nodded with satisfaction.
After nodding, she looked at Qin Xiaojie again and asked, "What did you borrow the 30,000 for?"
Qin Xiaojie whispered: "At that time, my partner said that my money was frozen and asked me to take out some money to smooth things over, but who would have thought..."
"In the end, even the 30,000 yuan was cheated away, right?" Qin Xiaomin sneered.
Niu Ailan then interrupted, looking at Li Yong with some displeasure and said, "You lent him the money without even asking what he was going to do with it? Now you've lost all the money. Your father and I have worked hard for most of our lives, and how many half a million dollars can we have?"
Listening to Niu Ailan's words, Qin Xiaomin was a little unhappy: "Mom, what does this have to do with Li Yong? It's wrong for Xiao Jie to ask him to borrow money. If he doesn't lend it to you, Xiao Jie will be unhappy, and if he lends it to you, you will be unhappy too! What's more, if Xiao Jie doesn't tell the truth, how would Li Yong know what he did with the money?"
Seeing that Niu Ailan was about to speak again, Qin Xiaomin quickly took over, not giving her a chance to speak: "Besides, why didn't Xiaojie dare to ask me for money? He knew that all the money in our family was with me, but why didn't he dare to borrow from me? You only pick on the weak, right?"
