The village chief was scolded by his wife, but he couldn't refute her. "Honey, don't be angry, don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, no one will take your place!"
I agreed to Yu Hai's request on a whim, because I'm used to handling large sums of money and it was a moment of carelessness.
I know I was wrong now, but thinking about Yu Zhaohua, he is, after all, my cousin who grew up with me, and I really can't bring myself to not help him.
Honey, you're in charge of our household affairs. What do you think we should do now? Yu Hai is still waiting for my letter!
Yu Zhaohua is desperate for money to save his life. If all else fails, I'll swallow my pride and go to the village to borrow from everyone.
No matter the amount, I can borrow a thousand or two thousand yuan from each family to get through this.
If Yu Hai can't pay it back, I'll pay it all back after we split the profits at the end of the year.
"You took over a household account worth over 100,000 yuan without even discussing it with us, and you never even asked whether the family had money or not."
Now it's my turn to be in charge again. You old rascal, you're so wicked! You got yourself into this mess, so figure it out yourself.
Aunt Guo was so angry that she slapped her husband again. The village chief was startled and deliberately grimaced in pain. "Ouch, that hurts so much, honey. You really hit me?"
My old bones can't withstand a few slaps from your Iron Sand Palm.
"If you keep hitting me, Yu Zhaohua might not die, but I'll be the one to pass away first! My dear wife, you've hit me, you've scolded me, and your anger has subsided. Now, what do you suggest we do?"
Aunt Guo was furious at his shameless behavior. She glared at him and said, "Wang Guangfu, you old scoundrel! You're pulling this trick on me again!"
Don't think I can't do anything to you. If you push me too far, I'll go and get a divorce too!
You'll have to clean up your own messes from now on!
"I refuse to believe it! Chen Hong is divorced and still living her life perfectly well. I don't have any family to support. Even without you, you nosy old man, I can't make a living!"
The village chief was amused by his wife. "My dear wife! It's all my fault! Can't we talk this out?"
"How old are you? Do you still want to get divorced like young people? After the divorce, do you want to find someone young and good-looking? Stop it, okay?"
Aunt Guo was furious with him. "No matter how old you are, you can't get a divorce. There's no rule in the country that says you can't get a divorce if you're older!"
After I get divorced, I'm not only going to find someone younger and better looking than you, but more importantly, someone more obedient than you.
"I'm so unlucky to have married you, you old geezer! I'm constantly worrying about you, I'm going to lose at least twenty years of my life!"
The village chief cursed himself inwardly, thinking he deserved it; he had only asked for it. Fu Xiao spent a long time coaxing his wife before finally calming her down.
“My dear wife, I will definitely change from now on. From now on, if you say go east, I will not go west; if you say beat the dog, I will not chase the chicken!”
It's getting late. You have to get up early tomorrow to make breakfast for so many people. You can't afford to not get enough rest.
I'm begging you, please give me some advice!"
Aunt Guo pursed her lips and said, "You're just all talk and all you know how to sweet-talk people!"
But secretly he was pleased with himself: You old fool, if I don't give you a good beating, you'll be so arrogant now!
The old man gave in, and the old woman picked up Qiao again, saying, "Go get me a glass of water. I've been busy all day and haven't even had a few sips of water."
I want to sleep, but I can't even have peace and quiet. That old man always has to find something to do for me.
After the village chief poured her a glass of warm water and eagerly handed it to her, Aunt Guo took the glass, drank a couple of sips to moisten her throat, and then cleared her throat.
Then, with an air of authority, he said to the village chief, "We can't tell Chen Hong about this."
If we were to say this, it would be putting Chen Hong in a difficult position. What would she do then?
If I don't lend it, people will say I'm rich but heartless, not even helping someone in a life-saving situation.
Borrow it, then use the money to find a crook! It's disgusting!
We can't borrow money from Chen Hong; it would make her feel uncomfortable.
We must not go to the village to borrow money in a big way, lest others spread rumors that we have not only failed to make money by working with Chen Hong, but also that Chen Hong will not lend us money when we need it.
Wouldn't that ruin Chen Hong's reputation?
Here's what we'll do: tomorrow you call Chen Hong and tell her that a relative of mine is buying a house and wants to borrow money from us. We'll advance 100,000 yuan from the shop to tide us over.
If there's still not enough, we'll really have to borrow from someone in the village. By the way, didn't Yu Hai ask his uncle for anything?
His family should be able to scrape together ten or twenty thousand yuan. If that's not enough, Yu Hai isn't planning on going back to the village, is he?
Since he wants to sell his house, you should go to the village tomorrow and ask around. Regardless of the price, sell it to anyone who wants it. I'm thinking, no more than 30,000 yuan shouldn't be too difficult.
Oh dear, Yu Hai is such a kid. He borrowed so much money and even wants to sell his house. He should at least come back and show his face. At the very least, he should sign the property certificate and hand over the property certificate when he sells the house.
He needs to write an IOU to borrow money! We need to ask Chen Hong for permission and get her signature before giving her an advance!
With so much money, it's not that I don't trust him, but I really don't trust Yu Hai's character.
Old man, let's get this straight up. We won't talk about interest, we just need him to write an IOU.
"Don't leave us without proof. If Yu Hai denies it or admits it but keeps delaying payment, we'll have done more harm than good and be furious!"
The village chief stammered, "Is this really necessary? We're all relatives and friends; it's not really appropriate!"
Aunt Guo raised her hand as if to hit someone again: "Are you senile? Yu Hai is not Yu Zhaohua!"
Based on what he did to Chen Hong and her mother, can you trust his character?
Anyway, let me tell you, I won't release the hawk until I see the rabbit. I won't release the loan without an IOU.
There's also the matter of selling the house. What if the house is sold and you helped collect the money, but Yu Hai regrets it and denies it, and doesn't even take the property certificate? How will you explain this to the people who bought the house?
Are we going to mortgage our house to someone else?
The village chief looked shocked. "No way? Yu Hai would never do something like that!"
Aunt Guo kicked off her shoes, got into bed, pulled the covers over her head, and lay down. "I showed you a bright, sunny road, but you wouldn't take it; you insisted on going down a dead end! You're hopeless!"
"Take it or leave it, you stubborn fool, you won't give up until you hit a brick wall! You already knew that last time, anyway, I don't trust Yu Hai!"
The village chief sat by the bedside for half the night, thinking it over and over, and still felt that his wife's words were accurate.
In the end, he decided to get things done first and then notify Yu Hai to come back.
Those who need to sign should sign, and those who need to write IOUs should write IOUs. My wife and Chen Hong are right; even close brothers keep clear accounts, let alone borrowing such a large sum of money.
Selling a house is also a big deal. If the homeowner doesn't show up, the transaction is illegitimate and the property certificate cannot be transferred.
If Yu Hai later changes his mind and has a conflict with the buyer, he will not only be disliked by both sides, but outsiders, unaware of the situation, will also be accused of colluding with others to take advantage of the situation and seize the Yu family's property!
The next morning, Chen Hong received a call from the village chief, who said he wanted to advance 100,000 yuan from the hotel's public account, and she immediately agreed.
The village chief has never blurred the lines between public and private matters, and Chen Hong has great faith in the character of the village chief and his wife.
