Chapter 55 Pretending to Conflict
This means that no matter who marries Hua Xiali, he will benefit from it.
Hua's mother still said the same thing, that if Hua's father's medical expenses and Hua Chunli's college fees were paid, she would agree to let the two children meet. Now, those who wanted to introduce Hua Xiali to a partner shut up in disappointment.
Of course they knew that Hua's father needed money for medical treatment, and they also knew that Hua Chunli would need tens of thousands of dollars to study in college for four years. They just wanted to take advantage in the end, not to be good people.
The relatives of the Hua family soon arrived, including my aunt's family. When they arrived, they went into the kitchen to help, and did not treat themselves as guests. They just sat there drinking tea and chatting.
The children from her aunt's family all surrounded Hua Chunli, asking her all kinds of questions, and their words were full of envy and admiration for Hua Chunli. Under such difficult circumstances, and after dropping out of school for three years, she actually managed to get into such a good university. What a precious spirit!
The families of the eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle also came. Not only did they come but they also brought things with them. After handing the things to Hua's mother, they asked her to take them into the house and lock them up.
After all, all the men, women, young and old from the village are here today. Among so many people, there must be some dishonest people. If something is stolen, wouldn’t it be a good thing for others?
Hua Xiali added a little bit of spiritual spring water to the tea for her relatives. In fact, these relatives of hers were all okay, and there were no evil people. Although some of them did not provide much help when they needed help, everyone's conditions were like this, and they couldn't expect too much from them.
No matter how much the money is, it is a token of my thought.
At 11 o'clock, several village officials came over, and Huo Beixi came as well. He handed an envelope to Hua Chunli, "Comrade Hua Chunli, congratulations on your admission to Ching Yuan University. This is a reward from the village for your admission to university."
"Thank you, Secretary Huo." Hua Chunli took the envelope and was very excited. He didn't expect that he would get a reward after being admitted to university!
Huo Beixi then turned to everyone and said, "In the future, no matter who gets admitted to university, the village will give rewards, so I hope everyone can send their children to school and encourage them to study hard."
Although we have entered the 1990s, not every child in rural areas has been enrolled in school, and there is still a long way to go to develop the country through education.
After the village officials finished speaking, Hua's mother quickly invited them to sit down in the main hall. Now the ten tables outside were already full, so they had no choice but to sit in the main hall first.
After that, the dishes began to be served. Several helpers brought the dishes to the table on trays. Each dish was filled to the brim and looked shiny. It looked delicious, and everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating quickly.
Hua's mother asked her brothers from her natal family and several village cadres to set up a table in the main hall. The village cadres all had things to deal with, and their work must not be delayed.
The villagers who were eating outside expressed their admiration while eating, saying that today's dishes were delicious and the best they had ever eaten. When they learned that the best dishes were made by Hua Xiali, they all admired Hua Xiali very much. They did not expect that at such a young age, he had mastered such cooking skills.
If it weren't for Hua's father, she would probably have been able to work as a chef in a big hotel.
When the first group finished eating and the second group sat down to eat, Hua Xiali came out. She walked to the middle of the banquet and said to everyone, "Thank you all for coming to my sister's graduation party. I know that many people must be worried about what our family will do next. After all, my father's treatment requires money, and it is like a bottomless pit. We don't know if he can be cured. And my sister's college tuition is at least 3,000 per semester, 6,000 per year, and about 24 or 25,000 in four years. But I want to tell you today that you don't have to worry about our family. I have my own way."
"I borrowed 50,000 yuan from the bank. With this money, I have enough for my father's medical treatment and my sister's education. So don't worry about our family. There are always more solutions than problems. As long as you have a flexible mind, you can always think of a solution."
Hua Xiali knew in her heart that once her elder sister was admitted to university, many people would want to introduce her to someone, so she went to the bank to take out a loan. After she took on a huge debt, no one would introduce her to someone because no man was willing to be burdened with so much debt.
Moreover, with such a large sum of money, she can apply for a residential plot to build a house, or start a business, or do anything. And with this loan, no matter what she does, no one will doubt where her money comes from, and they will all think that she is spending the money with the loan!
"Xia Li, what did you say?" When Hua's mother heard what Hua Xia Li said, she ran out of the yard in shock and looked at Hua Xia Li in disbelief, "You borrowed money from the bank? How much did you borrow?"
"Fifty thousand, what's wrong?" Hua Xiali looked at his mother in confusion. "I thought since I have to borrow money, I might as well borrow more, so as to avoid borrowing again and again, which is quite troublesome."
"Who told you to borrow money from the bank? How dare you be so bold?" Hua's mother shouted angrily, "Look at our family's situation. Do you think we have the ability to pay off such a large debt? Can you discuss this with us before you do anything?"
Hua Xiali looked aggrieved, "Don't I also want to do something for my family?"
"You borrowed 50,000 yuan, how much do you have to pay back to the bank?" Hua's mother asked.
"The interest rate is 7.5%, and I borrowed it for five years, so I have to pay the bank more than 60,100 yuan including principal and interest." Hua Xiali spoke the truth. She just wanted everyone in the village to know that her family owed the bank more than 60,000 yuan, so that no one would think of swindling them anymore.
Moreover, the loan is real, and you can find out by asking at the bank.
When Hua's mother heard this, she felt like the sky had fallen and couldn't help crying, "What should we do? It's more than 60,000 yuan. Even if our whole family doesn't eat or drink, we won't be able to pay it back in this lifetime, right?"
Then Hua's mother fell to the ground and started wailing, crying loudly about her miserable life. Her husband's injury could not be cured, and her daughter needed such a huge tuition fee to get into university. And now Hua Xiali had secretly borrowed so much money from the bank. This was simply trying to kill her!
Hua's mother cried so sincerely that the villagers' eyes were red. They felt that their family was so miserable. They also felt that Hua Xiali was so bold that he dared to secretly borrow so much money.
If their child borrowed so much money, they would break his legs.
"Mom, let's split up. The 60,000 yuan belongs to me alone and has nothing to do with you, okay?" Hua Xiali said helplessly.
