Wu Min ran into a snag as soon as she opened her mouth, and she felt very unhappy.
"I don't have any money now. If I had money, would I still borrow from you?"
The thirty yuan was also borrowed from Wu Jinhu. Wu Jinhu couldn't pay it back, so he had to pay it back himself.
"Then pay me back as soon as you have the money."
Wu Min went to find another colleague, who said directly that she had no money. In fact, she had borrowed money from others before, and was asked many times by others for various reasons before she paid back.
She also wanted to borrow money from other colleagues, which she had never borrowed before, but they turned her down and refused to lend her any money.
She wanted to ask other colleagues, but was afraid they would refuse, so she didn't say anything.
She could only go home and wait for Jiang Yiming to see how much he could lend her.
As she passed the director's office, Director Wu, a man in his fifties with a face full of flesh, walked out. His gaze, somewhat burning, first glanced at her well-maintained face, then moved downwards. He asked her, "Comrade Wu, I just heard that you were borrowing money from a colleague. What's going on? Are you or are you personally in trouble?"
"Yes, there is a little difficulty. It's a personal matter." She looked at the sanctimonious Director Wu with a pleading look in her eyes: "Director, can you help me?"
Director Wu stared at her face and smiled. "I'm afraid I can't help you with this. The one at home is too strict. However, if I think of a way, I might be able to find some. But I can't give it to you today. It will take a few days."
"Really? Director, thank you so much." She thought she couldn't borrow money here, but she didn't expect Director Wu to lend her money on his own initiative.
"Well, I'll tell you when I get the money."
"Okay, Director, thank you."
"Don't be so polite, we are all colleagues." Director Wu glanced somewhere again, hoping that Wu Min could understand what he meant.
Wu Min nodded and expressed her gratitude to him again.
When she returned home in the evening, she mentioned the money to Jiang Yiming as soon as she saw him.
"Yiming, how much did you borrow? Give it to mom quickly."
Jiang Yiming was hit on the hand while working on the construction site today and it was wrapped in thick gauze.
He took the money out of his pocket with his other hand and handed it to Wu Min.
"Mom, you know, most of us who do this are from the countryside, and they don't have much money. But I asked for it, and they all chipped in for me. It's eighty yuan in total. Count it."
Wu Min no longer thought the money was smelly, and quickly started counting it in his hands.
"No less, no less. It is indeed eighty dollars."
She put the money in her pocket and hurried out. She glanced at Jiang Yiming's bandaged hand, but didn't pay much attention to it and didn't even say a word of concern or greeting.
Jiang Yiming asked her, "Mom, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"I, I'm going to the department store. It's so cold, I need to buy myself some clothes quickly."
Her younger brother Wu Jinhu has always been lazy and took a lot of money from her when he got married. Later, when he had children or went to school, he still took money from her. Since her younger brother was not doing well, she had to take care of her mother's eating, drinking, and defecation.
But most of the money was paid by Jiang Dongcheng. It was fine at first, but gradually Jiang Dongcheng became impatient, and she could only use other excuses to ask Jiang Dongcheng for money.
Now Jiangdong City is wary of her and doesn't give her much money. Fortunately, she still has her son to rely on. Her son's poor co-workers are quite generous and lent her dozens of dollars at once.
His brother needed the money urgently, so she had to send it over quickly.
Before she reached the Wu family, she was stopped by Wu Jinhu on the way.
Wu Jinhu smiled, revealing his yellow teeth. "Sister, you're here to give me some money, right? Sister, you're so kind, so kind! You're my life-saving savior. How's it going? Did you borrow a few hundred?"
"Hundreds?" Wu Min's eyes widened. "How could I possibly lend you a few hundred yuan? Here's eighty yuan, borrowed from Yiming's coworkers. They're filthy and smelly, but that doesn't stop me from spending the money."
Wu Jinhu frowned, seeming very dissatisfied with this little amount of money.
He had the hundred dollars today, hoping to win a few rounds, but he lost it again, losing a hundred dollars. Now his debt has increased to four hundred dollars, but he will tell his sister it is five hundred dollars.
"Sister, I originally owed someone 600 yuan. After paying him 100 yuan, I still have 500 yuan left. This 80 yuan won't make much difference."
"But this is all I can get right now."
"Where's my brother-in-law? Why doesn't he give you money?"
"He, he doesn't have any money either. When he has money, he will let you use it."
Wu Jinhu took the money with an unhappy look on his face, as if the person who gave him the money still owed him.
"Well, I'll take these first. If you have more money, you must send it to me. Otherwise, they will chop off my hand. If my hand is gone, won't our mother be heartbroken? You, as her sister, will be heartbroken too."
"I know, I know."
In the courtyard
Last night, Fang Suyun and Mei Xiangcao were in Xu Nuannuan's room taking care of Xu Nuannuan and the child. Jiang Ye's arm was injured and he couldn't help much, so they sent him to Jiang Yang's room to sleep, so that he could have a good rest, which would also help his wound recover.
The child peed and pooped all night and soiled many diapers.
Jiang Ye had originally been assigned the job of washing diapers, but now he couldn't do it. However, Jiang Yang had been staying at home all this time and had nothing to do, so the job of washing diapers for his nephews and nieces fell on him.
When Jiang Yang was brushing the diaper, Jiang Ye was watching from the side and felt a little envious.
Jiang Yang put the child's diaper in front of Jiang Ye's nose: "Smell it, does your daughter and young master's poop smell good?"
Jiang Ye didn't dodge, but smiled and said: "You can make some snacks for us."
"A side dish?" Jiang Yang was so frightened that he immediately threw the diaper into the basin. "If you want to eat it, eat it yourself. I won't eat it."
Grandpa Guan and Grandma Guan had already chosen the names of their three children. Each child had married several men. They wrote them down on a piece of paper and showed it to Xu Nuannuan and Jiang Ye.
Xu Nuannuan admired her grandparents' literary talent very much. They had given their older child many names, which she thought were all very good. However, she still wanted to ask the two elders for their decision.
Jiang Ye is best at fighting, and his literary talent is not as good as Jiang Yang. He also doesn't know how to choose a name for his child.
Finally, Grandpa Guan decided, "Let's name the eldest son Muyuan. Muyuan means lofty aspirations, open-minded, hardworking and studious. This child will definitely have a great future."
"Jiang Muyuan, sounds good."
