Chapter 112: Confidence from My Mother's Family
Lin Yi pondered and said, "Originally, I was planning to let Aqin choose two shops or old houses in the city, and then you two sisters would each get one. Now I will give you the money to buy the house directly, and give your sister another three thousand. You don't have to pay this money back."
"Dad! Where did you get so much money?" Lin Ying's brain froze at this moment, and she didn't recognize her old father anymore.
Lin Yi proudly told about his own profit from growing vegetables, "Aqin and his wife are very honest, and Wenjun treats me like his own father. I get half of the profits from the sales of the crops grown and raised in Nanyu. This year, the lotus roots sold for more than 10,000 yuan, and I also got a large sum of money.
There were also some taro, which were also harvested in large quantities. Except for those kept for home use, Wen Jun sent all of them to Nangang for wholesale. They sold for less, just over 3,000 yuan. There were also some green vegetables, and the extra ones that could not be eaten were sent to Nangang. People living by the sea do not eat as many vegetables as we do here, so many vegetables sell well.
Anyway, Dad is doing very well with your sister, and there isn't much money to spend, so you take it. I'll save some money next year, and then I'll ask Aqin to find a house for you two sisters."
Lin Ying was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She tried hard not to let the tears fall, "Dad! I made you worry!"
Lin Yi waved his hand, "Why worry about it! It's more important for you two sisters to live well. I'm not too worried about Aqin's side. The only thing missing is your side. These three thousand yuan should be enough to build a house. Whether to renovate it is a matter for the future.
Let me tell you something. Your cousin and his wife have been here for more than half a year. Their combined monthly salary is more than 100 yuan. They don't spend their own money on food and accommodation, so it's not a problem for them to save more than 1,000 yuan to take back home at the end of the year. If it's not possible, you can let Dahai go out and work hard outside. It's not bad to earn 60 or 70 yuan a month. You can farm, raise chickens, pigs and take care of the children at home, which is not bad either."
Lin Ying was getting more and more surprised, and even her voice became more excited. "Dad! Is there really such a lucrative job in the city?"
Lin Yi simply explained to her the details of Huang Yuezhen and Hong Weimin's situation and let her figure it out herself.
The father and daughter worked together to prepare the meal and brought it out.
Lin Qin, who was talking to the children upstairs, also came down.
After Chen Wenjun arrived home, everyone chatted for a while before eating.
Lin Ying asked, "Where's my cousin's wife? Hasn't she finished get off work yet?"
Lin Qin nodded. "Her job is to make lunch for the workers on the construction site. She has to clean up after the workers finish lunch. She gets home around one or a little after one. I always keep a separate portion of her food for her to heat up when she comes back."
Lin Ying nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, Chen Wenjun and Lin Yi went to bed.
Lin Qin went back to the house for a while, and when she came out again, she had two thousand yuan in her hand. "Sister, I just heard from Ajian and Akang that you guys borrowed money everywhere to build a house and suffered a lot. Here are two thousand yuan for you to take. If it's not enough, we'll tell you later."
Lin Ying refused to accept it, so when she was pressed into a corner, she told him about the three thousand yuan Lin Yi gave her. "Little sister, don't blame Dad. Dad said that this money is for me to buy a house in the city. This time, I will buy yours, not mine."
Seeing Lin Ying's nervous and worried face, Lin Qin couldn't help but smile, "I know, Dad asked me to help look for a house. Besides, the money is his, he can use it however he wants, I said I won't interfere.
Take the three thousand your dad gave you, and take the two thousand from me, just think of it as a loan from me. If you have enough to build the house, you can pay off the money you owe or do some renovations first."
Lin Qin knew the situation in the village very well. If he didn't pay back the debt, people would definitely talk about him behind his back and look down on him. If he paid off the foreign debt, he would be able to speak and act with his head held high.
Lin Ying took the money and made up her mind after a while. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Then even if I borrowed it from you, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."
Seeing that she answered the phone, Lin Qin smiled and said, "That's for the future. Let's go. I'll ride my bike to take you to the bus station."
As she spoke, Lin Qin packed the prepared seafood for Lin Ying. Just as she reached the gap, she found Huang Yuezhen coming back.
"Oh! My cousin is here!" Huang Yuezhen was obviously a little surprised.
Lin Ying hurriedly explained.
Huang Yuezhen learned that she was going to take a bus, and immediately said, "I can take you there, Aqin, just rest at home. Don't bother in such a hot day. I'm sweating all over, so it's no big deal to run a little."
Lin Ying wanted to refuse, but Huang Yuezhen did not give her the chance.
Along the way, Lin Ying found out a lot about Huang Yuezhen and her husband, and was extremely envious.
After paying two dollars for the ticket, the bus slowly headed towards the county town.
Lin Ying had a huge sum of 5,000 yuan in her arms, and everyone looked like a thief to her. She kept the bag tightly locked in her arms and placed the seafood at her feet.
After more than two hours, the bus finally arrived at Xujia Village.
After getting off the car, Lin Ying did not dare to delay at all. She took her things and hurried back home, just in time when Xu Dahai had just returned from his work.
She quickly winked at Xu Dahai, asking him to go back to the room with her.
Zhang Guizhi from the third room saw Lin Ying carrying a bunch of things back to the house. A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she clanked the things unhappily.
Lin Ying and his wife were used to it and ignored her.
Xu Dahai walked in shirtless, panting, "I went to the new house today and discussed with the master. It will cost about 2,000 yuan to build a house that can be lived in. We owe 1,800 yuan in foreign debt, so we can't borrow more money."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Lin Ying taking out stacks of money from her bag, all of which were Great Unity bills.
Xu Dahai was stunned for a moment, "Where did it come from?"
Lin Ying rolled her eyes at him, "Where else could it have come from? My dad and my sister gave it to me! I didn't enjoy any happiness after marrying into your Xu family, but I did get so much help from my parents. Just tell me if you're embarrassed!
My father gave three thousand and my sister gave two thousand. The three thousand was originally intended for me to buy a house, but my father said I didn't have to pay it back. He said he would lend my sister the money for us for emergencies and we have to pay it back slowly.
You can use the money to pay off your foreign debts first, then find a master to buy materials and continue the construction. While the weather is good these few days, you can seal the roof first, and you can also customize the doors and windows. Once the house is ready, you can install them and move in immediately."
Xu Dahai was all smiles. He didn't get angry at his wife's complaints. Instead, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, you are right. I will do the work first. When the house is built, I will go and make money to pay off the debt."
After Xu Dahai left with the money, Lin Ying immediately put away the remaining money and took the seafood to the kitchen.
If seafood wasn't banned, she wouldn't want to give it to others.
In the evening, when Lin Ying's mother-in-law Wang Ximei came home and saw a table full of seafood, she immediately complained, "Why are you so wasteful? Who bought all these good things?"
Zhang Guizhi, who had gotten the upper hand, said with an air of enjoying the show, "It was brought back by my second sister-in-law, and it was also made by my second sister-in-law."
Wang Ximei was about to reprimand Lin Ying, but Xu Dahai defended her first, "My wife's parents gave her the things she wants to do with them, and eating them can't stop you from talking!"
