The third brother yawned and immediately stopped being sleepy, his eyes widened. This was the only child in the Zhao family, usually so precious, how could he be kicked out? What had he done to envy God and the people?
"My dear, how did you offend your parents that they have the heart to kick you out of the house?" Last time, they paid him a thousand dollars in compensation and starved him for a few days, which was not as serious as this.
Zhao Xiaochuan sighed, "My girlfriend's father lost a lot of money gambling, and he borrowed money from loan sharks. If he couldn't pay it back, he wanted to marry her to an old man in exchange for a high betrothal gift. She came to me and cried her heart out. She didn't want to marry an old man, she only wanted to marry me, so I gave her all the money I had."
"Give it all?" The third brother widened his eyes. Zhao Xiaochuan must have about 1,500 yuan on him.
Zhao Xiaochuan nodded. "That's not enough. Her father owes more than 5,000 yuan. My girlfriend's father said that as long as I can give 5,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, he will agree to our marriage."
The third brother covered his forehead and said, "You don't really want to spend 5,000 yuan to marry this daughter-in-law, do you?"
Zhao Xiaochuan shook his head. "She is my girlfriend. Even if I don't want to marry her now, I can't watch her marry an old man and jump into the fire pit."
"Are you crazy? You actually believe what a gambler says. He was able to squeeze money out of you today, and you still want to live a peaceful life in the future?" The third brother felt that Zhao Xiaochuan's brain was really short-circuited. When he knew the girl's situation, he should have borrowed his two legs and ran away faster.
"What can I do? If I don't take care of her, no one will be able to save her." Zhao Xiaochuan said with a worried look on his face.
"How can you manage it? Do you have money? Does your family give you money?" The third brother rolled his eyes in confusion. This guy really doesn't know what's going on and doesn't know what he's capable of.
Zhao Xiaochuan fell directly on the kang. "I told my family. My mother told me to either get married quickly or get out of the house. They would never look for such an in-law. They would rather not have a son like me."
"So you got out?"
Zhao Xiaochuan nodded helplessly
The third brother quickly hugged himself and said, "You don't want to borrow money from me, do you? I'm telling you, don't even think about it. If you want to jump into that fire pit, just jump by yourself. Don't drag your family and friends into it with you!"
Even if it were smallpox, the third brother would not lend the money to Zhao Xiaochuan. Don't say that he was not nice, he was also helping Zhao Xiaochuan. What's the use of her being pretty? With such a family, whoever marries her will be in big trouble.
With a father addicted to gambling, a frail mother, and a younger brother who is in school, the situation is simply devastating.
Zhao Xiaochuan covered his head with a quilt. He wanted to borrow money, but he also knew that he had no ability to pay it back. Is that borrowing? That’s robbery!
He didn't know what to do now. If he couldn't come up with 5,000 yuan, his girlfriend would marry someone else. But even if he came up with 5,000 yuan, what would happen in the future? What if this happened again? Would he drag his family to hell with him?
The third brother was lying on the kang, staring at Zhao Xiaochuan with a dark face, just like when he was fascinated by He Meina, he wanted to get her at all costs and could not see any shortcomings.
Fortunately, fortunately, he was able to make up for his loss and did not get stuck with He Meina. Thinking about it, Tian Qingqing is really a very good person. Except for being a little fat, she is ten thousand times better than He Meina. She has a good family, cooks delicious food, has a good personality, and is smart and considerate. However, she seems to have lost a lot of weight recently.
While daydreaming, the third brother fell asleep with a smile on his face.
The next morning, Wu Zhiqiu got up early to prepare food for the old man and the third son to take on the road. The weather was getting warmer, and food would not be kept for long, so there was no need to prepare so much.
The third brother got up and saw Zhao Xiaochuan was still asleep. He had given all the money to the woman, so he didn't have to go this time. The third brother shook his head. How can a man survive without his own career?
Seeing his mother busy in the kitchen, the third child felt that women like his mother were the best, and he was very happy to have such a mother.
