Chapter 122 Not a Reliable Person
"Do the second brother and his wife owe a lot of money?" Lu Chen asked.
Cheng Wanying sighed softly, "They have already used up all the money they saved over the past few years, and the thousand yuan I gave them has also been lost. Now the second child is asking me for another two thousand yuan. How much money do you think your father and I can have to build it over the years?"
"Does my dad know about this?"
Cheng Wanying shook her head: "I don't know. How could I dare to tell him? But I don't dare to lend him this money anymore..."
She really had no idea what to do.
Lu Feng was the child she brought over after her divorce from her ex-husband. Over the years, she treated Lu Chen as her own son, and Lu Huaizheng also treated Lu Feng as his own child.
He found a job for Lu Feng and spent money to help her get married.
Ever since they gave birth to Lu Yiyi, Lu Huaizheng has been paying for the baby's milk powder.
After she married Lu Huaizheng, she never worked again and devoted herself to taking care of her husband and children at home.
How can I earn money if I don’t work? Lu Huaizheng paid for the children’s upbringing.
Old Dalu Chen joined the army very early, and the army provided food and accommodation, so the cost was not much.
The third brother, Lu Cheng, also served as a soldier and had almost no expenses.
Most of the money in the family was spent on Lu Feng.
Now, he has to ask for money again and again to do business, and Cheng Wanying feels guilty about it.
She didn't want to see Lu Huaizheng's family fortune being drained away by his son, but she couldn't face his pitiful face, so she came to the eldest brother's place to hide away for a few days.
"Mom, if my second brother really needs money, I can lend it to him." Lu Chen said.
Lu Chen couldn't bear to see Cheng Wanying in trouble, and he happened to have some money in his savings account, so it wouldn't be a big problem to lend some out.
"No, no." Cheng Wanying waved her hands hastily. "The second brother is not a reliable person. Zhang Man has such unreasonable parents and brother. If there is any money in her pocket, they will take it away. If you give him this money, it will be like throwing meat buns at a dog. It will never come back."
"Okay. If he needs anything, just tell me anytime." Lu Chen said.
Cheng Wanying said it directly: "He doesn't need it. Chenchen, remember what mom said, even if he needs it, you are not allowed to lend him money."
"Mom, if my second brother is really in trouble..."
"No, no matter if he is embarrassed or not, you can't lend it to him. I know your second brother's character much better than you do! For your own good and for his, you can't lend it to him no matter what."
Lu Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to mom."
"That's good. Come, let's eat and not mention the second brother's family at the dinner table."
"good."
After dinner.
Xu Nuo went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Cheng Wanying followed him.
"Mom, go and take a rest. You've cooked the meal, and let me do the dishes."
"You're tired from working all day, let me do this job."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting over washing the dishes in the kitchen. Lu Chen walked in and rolled up his sleeves: "Stop fighting, both of you. I'll do it."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Wanying smiled and said, "Come on, let him wash, and we can go take a break and talk."
"Okay." Xu Nuo agreed.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out, Cheng Wanhua in front and Xu Nuo behind.
Before leaving, she turned back and gently patted Lu Chen's firm and perky buttocks twice while no one was paying attention, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at her. Seeing the sly smile on her lips, he couldn't help but smile faintly.
Xu Nuo turned around and hurriedly caught up with Cheng Wanhua.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat down and chatted for a while. Lu Chen finished washing the dishes and sat down next to Xu Nuo.
Cheng Wanying said: "Chenchen, call Chengcheng later to see when he is free. I want to see him."
"Mom, Lu Cheng broke a bone and is recuperating these days." Lu Chen told the truth.
Cheng Wanying was stunned: "No wonder, no wonder I've been so uneasy lately. This guy called me a few days ago and talked about a lot of things, but he didn't mention anything about her leg."
"How about this, I'll send someone to pick him up tomorrow and let him stay here for a while, so it will be convenient for you to take care of her."
"Will this cause you any trouble?" Cheng Wanying wanted to take care of her son, but was worried about causing inconvenience to Lu Chen and Xu Nuo's lives.
"No." Xu Nuo said, "Mom, it's more lively at home with more people. Lu Chen originally wanted to borrow Lu Cheng to live with him, but he refused no matter what. Now that you are here, you can take care of him. I guess he won't refuse this time."
Cheng Wanying felt warm at heart after hearing these words: "Okay, okay, thank you and Chenchen, Mom."
Lu Chen: "We are all family, please don't be so polite."
"Okay, you're welcome. You're welcome."
A family of three was chatting when the phone on the table rang.
Xu Nuo got up to answer the phone, and Bai Qiu Ning called again.
She said a few simple words, put down the phone, said hello to her family, and went next door.
As soon as she entered the door, Bai Qiuning and Liao Hong each pulled her arm and walked into the house.
"Xu Nuo, come on, come and see what we have harvested today."
Xu Nuo knew the sales were good when he saw the two men were all smiling: "How is it? Do you think it's good?"
"Xu Nuo, you're really good!" Liao Hong was full of admiration for her. "We were worried that we wouldn't be able to sell the ducks before, but we found a random intersection and people immediately gathered around us as soon as we set up the stall. In less than an hour, all the ducks were sold out."
"Yes, yes." Bai Qiuning was delighted and counted the money in his hand again and again. "Oh, I really didn't expect it. Everyone says that making money is hard, but I think this money is easy to make."
"That's because the secret recipe they promised is good."
"That's right. The money is all here, and I'll share it with you now."
Xu Nuo stopped her and said, "No, sister-in-law, just take the money first. Those ducks are too few. If you want to make money, you have to make more."
"You have a point. I'll take it, and we'll divide the money in a month."
Xu Nuo: “No rush.”
After that, she took out a note from her pocket and handed it to Bai Qiuning: "Sister Qiuning, this is the duck goods that my colleague in the unit wants to order. Can you make some more? I'll deliver it to my colleague first?"
Bai Qiuning took the order and looked at it: "Wow, so many orders!"
Xu Nuo said, "This is only for our department. If this thing is made, people from other departments might also order it."
"That's great, let's do it! We must do more tomorrow! Make at least 50 kilograms."
"Okay. Sister-in-law, tell me when you're done and I'll send these ducks over!"
After these people finish eating it, they spread the word, and it becomes a living advertisement.
Xu Nuo suddenly felt that making money by doing business was much easier than working at a job.
Bai Qiuning and Liao Hong had tasted the sweetness and were naturally very enthusiastic: "Don't worry, we will make more. If you need it, just give us a call and we will deliver it to you."
"Okay." Xu Nuo agreed.
When Xu Nuo returned home, Cheng Wanying was the only one in the living room, talking on the phone.
Seeing her coming back, Cheng Wanying said a few words casually, then hung up the phone and said to Xu Nuo: "Nuo Nuo, go upstairs and check. Lu Chen received a call and his mood is a little strange."
