In the past month, Lu Jiajie called her every now and then to talk about the production quantity and family matters. So she didn't think much about it. When she answered the phone, she also asked how many shoes were produced in the second batch. The first batch of 10,000 pairs had been delivered in early December, and the remaining 10,000 pairs were being produced overtime.

New Year's Day is coming soon, and the shoes she produced are not sold in Sijiu City. It can be seen that Su Heyuan has the same idea as her, preparing to stock up and then sell them all at once.

Lu Jiajie said, "We delivered 10,000 pairs of shoes today, and we are still working overtime on the rest. Jiaxin, what did your fifth sister-in-law do to make you so angry?"

Lu Jiaxin's heart skipped a beat. Did her elder brother tell her? But she changed her mind and felt that it was not the case. Her elder brother was not that kind of person. She did not sugarcoat the situation and said, "You should not ask me this question. You should ask the fifth sister-in-law."

Lu Jiajie said, "I just called her and she said she didn't quarrel with you. Xinxin, what happened? Don't hide it for her."

Lu Jiaxin didn't ask who told him this, there was no need: "I don't have anything to say, you can ask the fifth sister-in-law! I have something else to do here, so I won't tell you."

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Lu Jiajie knew Lu Jiaxin's personality very well. She would not care about trivial matters and was even more generous with money. It must be a big deal to make her so angry that she was unwilling to help with the move.

Thinking of this, he immediately called Lu Jiaguang, and as soon as the call was connected, he asked what the conflict between the two aunt and sister-in-law was.

Lu Jiaguang disdained to lie. He directly stated that he knew the reason, but he would not tell him: "I promised Jiaxin not to tell you about this."

Lu Jiajie was almost dying of anxiety: "Brother, what's going on?"

Lu Jiaguang naturally wouldn't say: "Since I promised Lu Jiaxin not to tell you, I can't break my promise. Don't you have a lot of friends? Ask your friends to find out."

"What do you want to know?"

Lu Jiaguang scolded, "Can't you use your brain to find out something? I've told you so many times to think before you speak or act, but you never listened to me and always ignored me."

Before Lu Jiajie could speak, there was a beeping sound from the other end of the phone. After hanging up the phone, he became annoyed. Even his eldest brother was angry. This matter was more serious than he had expected.

After thinking for a long time, he called Ah Le and said, "Call and ask Auntie if there is anything wrong with my wife recently."

The reason why Ah Le called his mother was because Ah Le's mother was well-informed and she would definitely hear about it if his wife did anything inappropriate.

Facts proved that Lu Jiajie's method was correct. When the call came, Ale's mother said that Ma Lili had borrowed money from someone a few days ago.

Ah Le's mother said doubtfully, "She told people that she had spent all her money on buying a house and had no money left to buy furniture, bedding, pots and pans. But from what I know, she seemed to have borrowed one or two thousand."

It is not uncommon to spend all your savings to buy a house and not have enough money to buy furniture and bedding, but it doesn't cost that much. She also planned to call her son to tell him about it.

After Ah Le hung up the phone, he asked in confusion, "Ah Jie, didn't you say that your sister took the initiative to borrow money to pay for the house? The money she borrowed was just enough to buy furniture and daily necessities. Why is your sister-in-law borrowing money from others to buy bedding and other small things now?"

Lu Jiajie calculated the family's accounts: "Including the money borrowed from my eldest brother and third uncle, my family has a savings of 4,000 yuan. In order to buy a house, Jiaxin gave my salary and bonus to my wife in advance, and later borrowed another 2,000 yuan. The house we bought cost 8,600 yuan, and we still have 400 yuan left after the purchase. I told my wife not to buy furniture for now, just buy daily necessities first. 400 yuan is enough and we don't need to borrow from anyone else."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

When Lu Jiajie heard this, he panicked: "Ah Le, please ask Auntie to help me find out if my father-in-law, mother-in-law or Yan Fang have any money recently?"

With a sigh, Ah Le said, "You mean your wife borrowed money to support her parents? That's impossible. You guys owe so much debt to buy a house. How could your sister-in-law borrow money to support her parents?"

Lu Jiajie's face darkened: "Apart from this reason, I can't think of what she borrowed the money for, and she didn't tell me."

A Le felt that Ma Lili would not be so confused, but he still made the call.

The next day, Ale's mother told him that the Ma couple bought a big house for their newly adopted grandson. The house cost 6,800 yuan.

Ah Le didn't know how to talk to Lu Jiajie. If any of the brothers and sisters encountered difficulties, the others would help them if they were able. But how could someone like Ma Lili do that? Her family still owed so much debt and she didn't know when it would be paid off. How could she afford to owe such a large amount of debt to buy a house for her parents? How could she live like this?

When Lu Jiajie found out, he was furious and wanted to call Ma Lili to question her. But when he thought of Lu Jiaguang's words, he put the phone down again.

Ah Le was very confused and asked, "It's wrong for your wife to borrow money from others to support her family, but this doesn't affect your sister and your elder brother, so why are they angry?"

Even if Ma Lili went to borrow money from outside, it was Lu Jiajie who had to pay it back, and it had nothing to do with them. Could it be that she was afraid of borrowing money from them? This didn't make sense, because she had taken the initiative to lend money to Ajie to buy a house before! Lu Jiajie thought about it and called Lu Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, did your fifth sister-in-law borrow money from you a few days ago?"

Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised: "How did you know?"

Lu Jiajie was about to explode with anger. How could she actually ask Jiaxin to borrow money? After a long while, he calmed down: "It was Ah Le who called. Her mother said that your fifth sister-in-law was borrowing money everywhere a few days ago. Ah Le thought it was strange and told me."

Lu Jiaxin was silent. She didn't expect that Ma Lili would lend money to help her parents in the end. Her filial piety was really commendable. She just complained in her heart and didn't express her opinion to Lu Jiajie: "We have only delivered 10,000 pairs of shoes. We have to work overtime to finish another 10,000 pairs of shoes before the New Year. If you come back now and no one is watching, if something goes wrong, you can't deliver on time, and I will have to pay for it."

I wanted her to come back to solve this problem before, but now I think it’s useless for Lu Jiajie to come back. The money has been borrowed, and coming back will only delay her business.

Lu Jiajie said a little depressed: "Xinxin, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing right away."

"Why didn't I tell you? Don't you know what's going on?"

Lu Jiajie was a little confused. From what he heard, it seemed that the problem was with him, but after thinking about it again and again, he still didn't know where he went wrong.

Lu Jiaxin was too lazy to wait and said, "If you don't know, think about it carefully. Call me when you figure it out."
