Chapter 246 Jiang Yizhou Asks Jiang Jinzhou to Borrow Money
In the morning, when the construction site began to call the roll, he saw Jiang Jinzhou talking to Yang Jinbao at the stairs.
He felt guilty and only took a quick look, not daring to look again, so he didn't hear it until the team leader called his name twice.
After the roll call was over and the meeting was adjourned, Jiang Jinzhou called him. He immediately straightened up, his heart trembled for a moment, and then he turned and walked towards him.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask how you've been doing these past few days. Is the work going well? Can you handle it?"
"Sure! Why not? It's easier than working cement."
"Oh, that's fine. Go ahead and get busy."
"oh……"
Jiang Yizhou turned around, rubbed the tools in his hand with his thumb, and walked towards the construction site nervously.
After working for more than two hours, his mind was still not on the work. He went to the toilet and felt a little thirsty, so he wanted to go to the office to drink some water.
I heard the conversation between Jiang Jinzhou and Liu Pengkai next door.
"Your denim jacket is five hundred dollars?"
"What else? We agreed to pay her back tenfold."
"By the way, don't you still owe her ten thousand?"
"Well, the last ten thousand, I'll give it to her tonight. There's still a little over five thousand left, so I'll give it to her all at once. I'll spend it freely."
"Holy crap! Your clothes are worth a fortune! This isn't just ten times the value, it's a hundred times the value!"
"That can't be helped. She's my wife. Look, she even bought me some underwear. You don't even have any. Are you jealous?"
Liu Pengkai smacked his lips and shook his head: "The underwear my wife bought is too expensive, I can't afford it. If you have any extra, you can give me two pairs."
"You wish! My wife bought this for me. If you want to wear it, find a wife to buy it for you..."
The two chatted idly, and Jiang Yizhou listened with mixed feelings.
He has money, more than ten thousand.
Five thousand is just spare money. My younger brother is so rich. As his elder brother, if I lend him two thousand, he should give it to me, right?
But what reason can I give?
If you just tell him that you want to pay off Lu Nanhuan’s debt, he probably won’t lend the money.
After drinking the water, he returned to the construction site quietly, doing odd jobs while thinking of excuses.
He was not concentrating on his work, so much so that the bricks were laid crookedly. The master bricklayer reminded him: "What are you doing? Take them down and lay them again!"
"oh."
He quickly removed the bricks he had just laid.
"Get the cement off too! It's too thick! The front and back can't even line up. Are you really working on it?"
Jiang Yizhou was already upset, and after hearing his nagging, he became even more annoyed, so he just dropped his weapon and left.
"Hey... you're still throwing a tantrum! Even if you're the boss's relative, you can't just do this job casually. If it collapses, someone will die!"
But Jiang Yizhou had already left.
People around him began to whisper, "This relative looked honest, but he's already deserting his post after only a few days."
"Alas... when it comes to doing this kind of work, you can't let your relatives come. They always think they have connections and are superior."
"That's right, he doesn't know anything, what's the point of coming here? But then again, what's his relationship with the boss?"
"Just by listening to their names, you can tell that they must be brothers."
"Impossible! If two brothers could let him do this hard labor, wouldn't he have to work in the office?"
"He sits in the office, so where do you let the people in the office go? He doesn't know anything."
Everyone was talking back and forth, and the news spread quickly around the construction site. By the time they had lunch, it had reached Jiang Jinzhou's ears.
He brought the food and found Jiang Yizhou.
"I heard you had trouble with your work this morning?"
Jiang Yizhou shoveled noodles into his mouth without saying a word.
Jiang Jinzhou felt that his question was unnecessary, but he still had to say what he should say.
"The master has been doing this for many years and has the skills. Can you learn from him?"
He offered to help him, but now Jiang Jinzhou has to beg him to do a good job. Why does he feel so humble?
Jiang Yizhou swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his eyes and looked at his younger brother, but because he felt guilty, he avoided his gaze.
I tried to muster up the courage to speak, but the words faltered as they reached my lips.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Jinzhou put down the spoon and looked at him seriously: "Is there something wrong with you?"
"Just tell me what's going on!"
Jiang Yizhou licked his lips, put down his chopsticks and rubbed his face.
He rubbed the back of his neck again, "Could you... lend me some money?"
He still didn't dare to look at Jiang Jinzhou's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jinzhou asked directly: "How much?"
Hmm? Is this a promise?
"two thousand!"
He looked at Jiang Jinzhou excitedly, his eyes full of hope.
Jiang Jinzhou frowned immediately and looked at him seriously: "So many?"
"What do you want so much money for?"
He rubbed the back of his neck again. "I'm useful."
"What's the use?"
"Hey... a friend of mine is sick and in the hospital. He needs money, so I agreed to lend him two thousand."
"Which friend?"
"You don't know him."
Jiang Jinzhou was suspicious and felt that he was not telling the truth, so he started to get to the bottom of it.
"Tell me, maybe I know him."
When he asked this, Jiang Yizhou became a little annoyed: "Oh, I told you that you don't know him, so are you going to lend it to me or not?"
Jiang Jinzhou scratched his lower lip with his teeth and crossed his legs.
"You're borrowing so much at once. I need to know who you're giving the money to and whether they'll pay it back. What if they can't pay you back if you lend it out so easily?"
Jiang Yizhou heard the distrust in his tone and looked up unhappily: "I borrowed it, I will pay it back when the time comes!"
"What are you going to give back?"
"How about my salary? I'll work for you, and we'll settle the bill when I pay you back. Is that okay?"
For this friend, he would rather be a slave? What kind of relationship did this friend have?
If they were really close, there was no way he didn't know her, but he still didn't tell the truth.
"You are my brother. I will not let you be a slave to pay off your debts. Tell me where your friend is in the hospital and I will go there with money and gifts."
"I'll lend it to him, but he has to write me an IOU."
Jiang Yizhou shook his head, his face full of annoyance: "I'll write it for you!"
Jiang Jinzhou refused to give in: "No, I have to let him write!"
Jiang Yizhou was immediately annoyed when he heard this: "Why is it so difficult for me to borrow money from you?"
"If you don't want to give it to me, forget it. Why are you pretending in front of me?"
"I quit my job to help you. I was sincere, but now that it's time to help you, and I need to borrow some spare money, you're so reluctant. I don't want you to do that!"
He didn't even eat his meal and just left with his bowl.
Jiang Jinzhou sat there, frowning, feeling confused.
Is it necessary to borrow this money? He doesn't owe him anything.
He just wanted to know who to lend it to. With so much money involved, was there anything wrong with him being cautious?
