Lu Jiaxin immediately got up and went to the yard to see Xiaoqiu busy in the kitchen. She asked curiously, "Why are you cooking? Where is Xue Mao?"

Xiao Qiu said, "Aunt Wu went to pick up Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng, while Brother Mao and Miss Xiao went to get the steamer."

Xue Mao's pancakes are delicious, and Xiao Qiu's steamed buns and wontons are delicious. Some people in this alley don't want to make breakfast, so they go to their stalls to eat or buy it home. But they can't make more, because they are limited by their tools.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Didn't I tell you not to do so much? It's so tiring."

Xiao Qiu didn't feel tired at all because she could make money: "Aunt, now that the weather is cold, things can be kept. We can make the wontons and dumplings in the evening and cook them directly the next day."

Lu Jiaxin didn't want them to work so hard, but they insisted and couldn't stop them: "I don't object to you wanting to make more money, but you must complete my request."

Xiaoqiu graduated from junior high school but her handwriting is ugly, so Lu Jiaxin asked her to practice calligraphy every day. Qian Xiaoxiao and Xue Mao were worse off, one graduated from elementary school and the other had never been to school and could only recognize a few characters. Even those characters that they could recognize were still learned by Lu Jiaxin's force.

"Don't worry, aunt, we study and practice calligraphy every day."

After dinner, Ma Lili said, "Jia Xin, the children and I have lived here for such a long time, and some people in the alley have started gossiping about it. I have already packed up the place, and I will move in over there on the weekends."

Lu Jiaxin guessed that she wanted to leave because of what happened in the afternoon, but after what happened this time, she couldn't keep her. However, she still asked politely: "After moving over, you have to go to work. Who will pick up and drop off the children then?"

Ma Lili said she could send her child to school by herself in the morning, and if she couldn't catch up with her child after school, she would ask a colleague to help pick him up.

"Just have someone pick it up."

The next day, Lu Jiaxin took the medicine and went to the store to call Lu Jiaguang. When she heard that he was at work and not busy today, she took a taxi over.

Lu Jiaguang poured her a glass of water, sat down and asked, "What can't you say over the phone? You have to come to the office?"

Lu Jiaxin told the story of the Ma family. After she finished, she frowned and said, "Brother, I always feel that this is not right. I remember that my fifth brother once said that my fifth sister-in-law's uncles were thinking about their family's property, especially his eldest uncle who wanted his son to take over her father's job, so the relationship between the three brothers was very bad. In this case, would they really lend so much money to their nephew to do business?"

It's impossible to think about it, unless you want to adopt a child, but you don't have to wait until now. And now that Sister Ma and her husband have agreed, the probability is even smaller.

Lu Jiaguang's face suddenly turned ugly: "She's crazy, borrowing money from you to fill the hole in her mother's family?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "I refused."

After a pause, she said, "I guess Fifth Brother must have told her. She knows the exact amount I earn, and she thought three thousand was not too much, so she lent it to her."

She made 20,000 pairs of shoes, and after deducting all costs, she made an average profit of about 30 yuan per pair. Although the thick models can only be obtained after delivery, she already has a 20 yuan deposit in hand. Relatively speaking, 3,000 yuan is a small amount of money for her.

Lu Jiaguang was very angry and said, "Three thousand is not a lot? They have been married for seven years and have only saved more than two thousand."

After a pause, he said, "Even if your fifth brother asks, I can't lend it to you, otherwise I will come to you if I need anything in the future."

Jiajie needed money to buy a house, so Jiaxin offered to lend it to him. It is a good thing for brothers and sisters to help each other if they are able. But who are the Ma family? Why should Xinxin help fill the hole in their family?

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Fifth Brother is not stupid, how could he take on a foreign debt of three thousand for nothing! Big Brother, can you ask someone to find out whether the money was really lent out or it was a trap."

Lu Jiaguang also suspected that this was their excuse to ask Lu Jiaxin for money. Even if she didn't mention it, he would send someone to investigate.

Seeing that she looked much better than when she first came back, Lu Jiaguang asked, "I remember you were supposed to go for a follow-up visit yesterday. Did you go?"

Lu Jiaguang was so concerned about her, so he naturally knew that she had learned Ba Duan Jin from Master Qian. However, he was skeptical about the claim that Ba Duan Jin could strengthen the body: "Is this Ba Duan Jin really that effective?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Brother, do you want to learn?"

Lu Jiaguang really wanted to learn, but he was too busy to have time. Just like now, he wanted to have a good talk with Lu Jiaxin, but a phone call came and he had to report to the leader.

Two days later, Lu Jiaguang called Lu Jiaxin and told her about this: "Your fifth sister-in-law's parents and nephew did come to borrow money to start a business, but they were rejected."

Lu Jiaxin was so angry that she laughed. These shameless people were actually plotting against her.

Lu Jiaguang's voice was a little low: "Yan Fang has taken a fancy to a house. He wants the Ma couple to buy the house for Yan Jixiang, saying that it is a guarantee for the child. The house costs 6,800 yuan, and the Ma couple only have more than 3,000 yuan on hand. Yan Fang and his wife are unwilling to pay, so they are still a long way from buying the house. They originally wanted your fifth sister-in-law to transfer the money to them to buy a house first, but they didn't expect your fifth sister-in-law to be one step faster. They heard that you made a lot of money, so they set their sights on you."

When he heard the news, he was very angry. Many people knew that his sister had 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in savings. She was afraid that someone would come to Jiaxin to borrow money, but she couldn't bear it, so she deliberately spread the word that the money was all with him! But he didn't expect that the one who plotted against his sister in the end was Ma Lili.

Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment and said, "Brother, don't tell Fifth Brother about this in advance."

Lu Jiaguang thought he was worried about the business over there, and was afraid that Lu Jiajie would be distracted by family matters and make mistakes. However, he felt that if a man couldn't handle such a small matter and was distracted, he would be a waste: "You have to tell him, otherwise your fifth sister-in-law will borrow money from others."

Lu Jiaxin said: "I just want to see if she will go into debt for her family and ignore Fifth Brother and Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng."

Lu Jiaguang disagreed with her approach: "Three thousand yuan is not a small amount. She is going to borrow it, and it is your fifth brother who will pay it back in the end. It will take him three years to pay back such a large sum of money. Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment and said, "Brother, did Fifth Brother tell you how much profit I made from this batch of shoes?"

Lu Jiaguang hummed and said, "I said that this business can make about 600,000 yuan. You received a deposit of 200,000 yuan, and there is still more than 500,000 yuan for the follow-up payment. He is also worried that Su Heyuan will default on the payment for the goods, so he plans to ask for money when the first batch of goods is delivered."

"Brother, have you told your sister-in-law about this?"

Lu Jiaguang said: "Your sister-in-law was worried that you would be cheated because you were young and inexperienced. I said you were not cheated and you even made some money."

As for how much he earned, he didn't say it. It wasn't that he didn't trust his wife, but he thought the fewer people who knew about such a large sum of money, the better.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Fifth Brother must have told Fifth Sister-in-law. She thinks that I have made five or six hundred thousand, and I will definitely agree to borrow three thousand."

At this point, she paused and said, "Last time, he was careless and told my second uncle and second aunt that I had a big house, so they came to the Forbidden City and wanted to occupy my house. Now he has done this again, I think he should be taught a lesson."

Lu Jiaguang felt that this lesson was a bit too costly.

Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly: "It's not like he would feel any pain if it's only three or five hundred. Only if the amount is large will he feel pain and learn his lesson."

If he still can't learn his lesson, then he is a hopeless person. However, after these two incidents, she would not dare to ask Lu Jiajie for help in the future.

Some readers have pointed out that the original handling method was problematic. I thought about it and found that the plot was indeed flawed. The heroine is now rich and confident, and she shouldn't have as many concerns as before.
