Chapter 159: Coming back with a purpose (seeking votes)
"I really don't want to lend it to you." Shen Jianmin suddenly spoke.
Everyone was very surprised this time. After all, Shen Jianmin would not usually be so rude to his brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, when Shen Xiaoju came back for the rare occasion, Shen Jianmin could be so direct. Of course, his attitude also made Xu Xuemei very satisfied.
After all, she is her man's younger sister. If her man took the initiative to ask for money to be lent, she would not be able to say anything. After all, the family did make some money now, and the money that Shen Xiaoju wanted to borrow could be taken out. But Xu Xuemei just didn't want to lend it out. After all, Shen Xiaoju didn't seem like someone who would keep her promises. It was probably that even if she said she was lending it, she would not pay it back, which was like throwing meat buns at a dog.
"Brother! We haven't seen each other for so many years. How did you become like this? You were not like this before. Is it because sister-in-law doesn't want to lend the money?" Shen Xiaoju found it unbelievable.
In fact, she has a better relationship with her second brother Shen Jianguo, and is not that close to Shen Jianmin. However, from childhood to adulthood, Shen Jianmin has basically always responded to her requests and is very good to her, the younger sister. When she came to him to borrow money today, she never thought that she would be rejected at the beginning. The most important thing is that it was her eldest brother who rejected her, not her eldest sister-in-law. If it was her eldest sister-in-law, she might feel better.
"This has nothing to do with your sister-in-law. I just don't want to lend it to you. If you come back for dinner, then leave quickly after dinner. We can also interact as ordinary relatives, but you want to borrow money, which is impossible."
"Brother!" Shen Xiaoju was anxious. If she couldn't borrow the money back, how would she explain to her man? She had made a promise.
"It's no use calling me." Shen Jianmin's attitude this time was very firm.
"Why?" Shen Xiaoju didn't give up.
"Have you forgotten that when Taozi was six years old, she had a high fever and our family was in very poor conditions. I came to you for help. What did you say to me?"
When Shen Jianmin thought of the past, he still felt uncomfortable.
"That...that's all in the past. Why do you still remember it? It's been so many years. You don't have to be so petty, right?" Shen Xiaoju seemed to remember what happened before, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Is that a small matter? Even if you had said that your family had no money and asked me to think of a solution, I might not have been so angry, but what did you say at the time? You said that I was a poor relative from the countryside, and that it was no good to come to my house, and that you would never give me the money, because you were very sure that I would never pay it back in my life, but Shen Xiaoju, you had forgotten at that time that I had worked hard to support you to go to school. If you didn't go to school, you wouldn't be able to marry into the county town, but you treated me like that, even when Taozi was burned like that, you refused to lend a helping hand. It was also that time that I was lucky and happened to meet Beichuan's mother going to the hospital for a check-up, so I was able to pay the fee. I will never forget it in my life."
If Shen Jianmin could remain calm towards Shen Jianguo at the beginning and not say such harsh words, but at this moment, things that had been pent up in his heart for a long time suddenly broke out. Shen Jianmin felt that this little sister had never regarded them as a family, and there was no need for him to lend money to her at this time.
Shen Xiaoju’s face turned red and then white, and then white and then purple.
"Brother, I was wrong about what happened before. My nephew is facing a major event in his life. Don't you, his uncle, want to help?"
Speaking of his nephew, Shen Jianmin took a deep breath again. His nephew was also present when he came to the house to ask for help. What happened at that time?
It seemed that after he was rejected by Shen Xiaoju, the boy said directly, “It’s just a money-losing product. It’s what he deserves if he is really burned to death.”
You know, that beast was even smaller than Taozi, and he could say such vicious words at that time. Shen Jianmin was heartbroken.
"Don't tell me these things. I told you, if you just want to have a meal at home, I won't say anything, but if you want something else, just go slowly."
Not to mention other people, even Shen Jintao rarely saw her father react like this. He was always polite to everyone and rarely got angry like this.
Shen Jintao actually didn't remember the things from her childhood very clearly, but she was six years old at that time. After Shen Jianmin mentioned this incident, Shen Jintao seemed to remember some things.
"Brother, just because I didn't lend money to this little girl when she had a fever before, you don't care about your nephew's life or death? Is there any uncle like you?"
Shen Xiaoju felt that she could not accept this fact.
"Why should I care about his life or death?" Shen Jianmin remained unmoved.
"Okay!" Old Master Shen also spoke, looking at Shen Xiaoju with a sneer, "Shen Xiaoju, I thought you came here today because you knew that the family had divided up, and you wanted to give me, an old man, some pension money. I didn't expect that you had this idea. If that's the case, you'd better go back quickly. As for the things you brought over, take them back yourself. I don't need them."
When Shen Xiaoju came back today, Mr. Shen was still happy. Although he didn't show it on his face, she was his own child after all. The relationship between his two sons had been very strained. It would be very good if his daughter could get along with his eldest son's family again.
But he didn't expect that his daughter also came back with a purpose. This made Mr. Shen a little unacceptable. Why are his children like this? Do you really not care about the friendship between brothers and sisters?
Moreover, Mr. Shen was actually unaware of what Shen Jianmin had just said. He just remembered that his eldest granddaughter had a high fever when she was a child, and it was very dangerous. But he didn't expect that his eldest son would go to his daughter for help, and get such a cold-blooded answer.
This made Mr. Shen feel a little bit unimaginable. How desperate his eldest son must have been in that situation.
If I hadn't happened to run into Taozi's mother-in-law, I'm afraid...
"So you are all so petty that you can remember things from the past until now. It turns out that grandchildren are not as close as family grandchildren. Dad, your own grandson wants to get married and you are unwilling to help. I am not wrong. You are just a bunch of poor relatives who only know how to take money but are unwilling to give back!"
“Bang!”
This slap was given by Mr. Shen, and after the slap, the old man's body began to tremble, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
Shen Jintao was startled and quickly stood up to support the old man. Huo Beichuan did the same thing, and the two of them supported him on the left and right.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. Have you forgotten what the doctor said before?"
After the experience of the old man almost getting into trouble last time, Shen Jintao was also very angry when she saw this scene.
"Aunt, are you seriously ill? Just talk, why are you irritating Grandpa like this? Do you know that Grandpa can't get angry at all now? Last time, he was hospitalized because of something at Second Uncle's house. Oh, by the way, how did you know? Even if you knew, you probably wouldn't want to come back to see him."
