She handed the large wad of money to Wu Jiang, saying, "Uncle, this is five yuan." Then, she handed Wu Jiang a neatly wrapped five-yuan note, saying, "This is a gift for my cousin."
Wu Jiang accepted the five yuan, but refused to accept the gift money. "Take this back. There's no need for gift money. I won't accept any."
Song Lili insisted on giving it to him, saying, "This is for my cousin, it's just something fun, you can give it to your cousin."
When Wu Jiang tried to refuse, Song Lili said directly, "Uncle, this is for my cousin, not for you. It's a secret between my cousin and me. You're not allowed to look at it. Just give it to your cousin when you get home."
She was afraid that if Wu Jiang opened it and discovered it, she wouldn't be able to deliver it.
Wu Jiang touched it; it was thin and he couldn't feel anything. He thought it was probably a child's toy, so he accepted it.
Then, amused, she said, "Okay, I know. It's a secret. Your uncle won't see it, but your cousin can, okay? You little brat."
Song Lili rolled her eyes. This guy really treated her like a child. She wasn't that bored, okay?
Wu Jiang borrowed the money and felt much more at ease, his smile becoming much more relaxed.
He said, "Yongren, I can't pay you back right away. I'll pay you back as soon as I have the money."
"Don't rush. If you're short on money, you can use it first. I have Lili here at home, so we don't lack money. You should take care of things at home first."
"You can give me the money whenever you have it."
After thinking it through, Song Yongren even considered giving it to Wu Jiang, but knowing that Wu Jiang didn't want it, he could only say this.
His brother-in-law was also a stubborn man.
When it was afternoon, it was time for Wu Jiang to go back. Song Yongren returned with Song Fang, both of them carrying loads of vegetables.
Song Lili found a big bag, put everything in it, and gave it to Wu Jiang, saying, "Uncle, these are what I grew myself. Take them home for your aunt, cousins, and other relatives to eat."
Looking at the huge bag of vegetables, Wu Jiang quickly waved his hand, "No, no, you should keep it for yourselves, how can you give it to us?"
"Uncle, I grew these myself. Consider it a gift from your niece. I'll just pick them and replant them."
Song Yongren also urged, "Take it, it's all from our own land, it's not anything valuable, take it home and eat it."
Wu Jiang really wanted to say that his own produce was quite good, and that it could sell for a lot of money.
But in the end, he couldn't resist the Song family and had no choice but to carry a large bag on his way home.
His feelings were complicated. He thought to himself, "If anything happens to the family in the future, I hope it will be easier for Lili and the others."
After seeing Wu Jiang off, Song Lili said to Song Yongren, "Uncle, I gave my cousin five yuan as a gift."
Song Yongren paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "If you've taken it, then you've taken it. Your uncle has helped our family a lot in the past, so this is only right."
"I just don't know if your uncle will accept the seven."
Song Lili smiled slyly, "He will definitely accept it."
As for Wu Jiang, he got home before dark, his whole body was soaked with sweat, but he was in a good mood.
As soon as I entered, I shouted, "Lele, Huanhuan, come out quickly, we need to get something."
Hearing the noise, Zheng Qiaozui, the wife, quickly came out and exclaimed, "Oh my, what are you carrying? How come there's so much?"
As Wu Jiang handed the things to Wu Huan and Wu Lele, he said to his wife, "These are vegetables that Lili grew. She brought some back for me so you can try them."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiao's smile widened even more. "Oh my, Lili is so sensible. She knows how to be filial to her uncle."
"And you, how could you take so much from someone? Don't you know that everyone is having a hard time these days?"
That's what she said, but her hand was gripping the bag tightly, so it was obvious she wasn't telling the truth.
Wu Jiang said, "I don't want it, but Lili insisted on giving it to me, and I couldn't refuse, so I took it. In the future, if we need anything at home, we can just send some to them."
Zheng Qiaozui replied, "That works too." She quickly opened the bag and began to examine it.
Wu Jiang handed the paper package that Song Lili had given him to Wu Huan, saying, "This is the money your cousin gave you as a gift. She was being so secretive and wouldn't let me see it, saying only you can see it. You can see it yourself."
Wu Huan took the paper package without giving it a second thought. It was so light, what could possibly be inside? He guessed it was something Lili had drawn for him out of mischief.
He opened it casually, but was stunned. "Big brother, this...this...Lili gave me five yuan."
"What? Let me see..." Wu Jiang, who had just taken a sip of water, rushed over and saw a five-yuan note in Wu Huan's hand.
"This...this...oh, Lili, this child, is afraid that her uncle doesn't have money, so she's secretly helping him out."
