Chapter 121 Lend me 50,000
Jiang Haibing sneered: "Does he dare to call the police?"
It hasn't been many years since the crackdown ended. Although people are bolder now than they were a few years ago, the brutality of the crackdown a few years ago is still fresh in our minds.
Many of those executed were involved in problems related to women.
Fan Junsheng has fathered three illegitimate daughters, which is common knowledge.
How could he dare to call the police?
If the police are called and other problems are discovered, even if he isn't executed, he'll probably spend the rest of his life in jail.
How could Fan Junsheng dare?
He never dared to tell Yang Xiuhong, but secretly borrowed money from all over the place to try to cover the hole.
But business people are all good friends when things are going well, but if they don't kick you when you're down, you're considered to have a conscience.
Moreover, Fan Junsheng borrowed a lot, asking for tens of thousands at a time.
His business is clearly not taking off, so who would be willing to throw tens of thousands of dollars down the drain?
As a result, a few days ago, Yang Xiuhong suddenly decided to go to the store to take a look, only to find that her store was about to close down.
Having come this far, Fan Junsheng had no choice but to confess and seek leniency.
What else could Yang Xiuhong do besides sell everything she owned to help him plug the hole and get through the crisis?
She sold all the gold and silver jewelry that Fan Junsheng had bought for her, as well as all the household appliances, including the washing machine, refrigerator, television, radio, tape recorder, electric fan, and even the pager that Fan Junsheng had just bought last year.
Even so, the money wasn't enough.
Fan Junsheng had no reliable friends or brothers, so Yang Xiuhong started to seek help from her family.
I heard that she borrowed 5,000 yuan from Zhao Junshan's family and 3,000 yuan from Grandpa Yang. Yang Hongying and her husband are starting a business and have no money of their own, let alone money to lend to her.
Now it's Yang Yuemei's turn.
Jiang Haibing: "Our family doesn't have much savings right now, just the seven or eight thousand yuan they had saved up before, plus the ten thousand yuan I gave them."
“Our mom is so generous; she wants to lend Auntie 10,000 yuan.”
“Our family isn’t like Auntie’s. Even though Auntie’s family is rich, they only borrowed five thousand. Our family, including Dad, is unemployed, Haiyang and Yanni are still in school, and we have Dudu. What’s she acting like?”
"Luckily, I ran into them on my way back and they stopped me, otherwise our family would be starving again."
Jiang Jianni: "And then? How much did you borrow?"
Jiang Haibing: "Two thousand."
"Please hold onto this washing machine ticket for me."
"These tickets are hard to get right now. Do you believe me? I'll take the tickets back first, and then she can deliver them to Fourth Aunt right away?"
Jiang Jianni was speechless: "What do you think she's thinking?"
“Sometimes I feel that she values us a lot, but sometimes the things she says and does make me feel like we were adopted, and that my second and third aunts are her real children.”
"Smack."
Jiang Haibing slapped her on the head and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Now that you have a child, you should be more careful with your words and actions."
Aren't you afraid your child will go astray?
Jiang Jianni: "!!!"
"Didn't you say that first?!"
ah.
Because the diagnosis was made so recently, even though she had already felt fetal movement, she still didn't really feel like she was pregnant.
Jiang Haibing cautioned, "I'm telling you this not so you can hear a joke."
What I mean is, your in-laws are well-off.
"Be careful, your fourth aunt might come to your door to borrow money."
Jiang Jianni didn't care at all: "She said she'd lend money, and then she just lent it to her?"
"When you borrow money from a bank, you have to sign a contract and pay interest."
"Besides, how long have I been married to Lu Xiangyang?"
“We still owe the bank money, and we have to pay it back every month. Where would we get the money to lend her?”
If it were anyone else, even Yang Yuezhi, who came to borrow money, she would lend them some, more or less.
But Yang Xiuhong is a snob who favors the rich and powerful while belittling the poor.
When the Fan family was wealthy, she often made sarcastic remarks, implying that Jiang's father was incompetent and couldn't make money. She would lament to Yang Yuemei that her eldest sister had been unlucky since childhood, while Yang Xiuhong, on the other hand, had an excellent eye for talent and immediately picked out a promising prospect.
He verbally sympathized with Yang Xiuzhi and her husband for their repeated business failures, but actually mocked them, saying that if they weren't destined for wealth, they shouldn't waste their time and should just find a job to support their family.
As for Yang Hongying and her husband, what's the use of reading more books? They're still living in poverty.
Yang Hongying's husband was her high school classmate.
The couple has decent educational backgrounds, but because they've been studying all this time, they haven't been able to find good jobs.
He was just as unlucky in business as Yang Xiuzhi and her husband.
Jiang Jianni didn't even want to look at this kind of person, let alone borrow money from him.
Not only did she not want to lend it herself, she also gave Lu Xiangyang a heads-up.
So that Lu Xiangyang wouldn't feel awkward refusing because he's a junior and would agree instead.
As it turned out, Yang Xiuhong didn't look for Lu Xiangyang, but came to find her instead. And she didn't come alone; she brought Yang Yuemei, who was with her child, along.
Yang Yuemei, looking embarrassed, said to her child, "Your fourth aunt said she needs to talk to you about something."
Jiang Jiani was speechless.
Yang Xiuhong seemed oblivious to Jiang Jiani's cold attitude.
Once inside, he looked around and exclaimed, "Wow, cultured people are really different from ordinary people like us."
"When we had our housewarming party, I didn't think your house was anything special."
"And now you've added one thing here and one thing there, and somehow it looks so good!"
She looked at Jiang Jiani and smiled, "I heard that all these furniture and decorations were your own ideas?"
"Oh, if I had known you were this capable, I would have asked you for advice when we were renovating our house."
"Look at all these boxes and cabinets, there's no fear of running out of space no matter how much stuff we have."
Jiang Jianni just mumbled a couple of "uh-huhs" and kept playing with Dudu.
Dudu is now over four months old and can already hold her head up.
The little guy's appearance, eyebrows, eyes and face shape are almost all like Jiang Haibing's, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Moreover, it's chubby and fair-skinned, always smiling at people, showing its toothless gums, which is especially cute.
Jiang Jianni picked up Dudu and bounced him around: "Has Dudu gotten fat? He wasn't this heavy when I carried him last time?"
Yang Yuemei quickly took the chubby boy from her: "Give it to me, give it to me. You can't get tired right now."
"Of course! I weighed him the night before last, and he already weighs fifteen pounds."
"Even babies born in the same month as him aren't as fat as him."
“Some kids who are a month or two older than him aren’t as chubby as our Dudu.”
"The doctors all say that Dudu is well cared for."
She held Dudu and brought his little head close to Jiang Jiani: "Come on, pat Dudu's head, and you'll have a big, healthy boy someday."
Jiang Jiani: "Xiangyang wants a daughter."
Yang Xiuhong had been talking for a while but no one paid attention to her, and she was getting a little bored when she heard them talking about children, so she quickly said:
"I can't have a daughter."
"The first one, no matter what, is a boy."
“Your husband’s family is not an ordinary family. If you give birth to a girl, they might look down on you.”
"Have a boy first to establish yourself, then you can have the second child and decide whether it's a boy or a girl."
Jiang Jianni's smile faded: "You don't need to worry about that, Fourth Aunt."
"Fourth Aunt, didn't you want to talk to me about something? What is it? Tell me quickly."
"I'm pregnant now and I'm always sleepy. If you don't tell me soon, I might not be able to care if I get sleepy."
Yang Xiuhong quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk."
"Jiani, something happened at your fourth aunt's house and they're a bit short on money."
"I didn't want to trouble you, but I really have no other choice."
"Um, could you lend me 50,000 yuan?"
