Chapter 24 Borrowing Money

Shen Xiangbei's house has only three bedrooms, the two smaller ones are for Su's father and mother, and Su Qiang. The larger bedroom is divided into two rooms, one for Shen Xiangbei and his wife, and one for Shen Xiangbei's five-year-old daughter Shen Rongrong. When Shen Ruoqing and Old Lady Ji came, they let Shen Rongrong and her parents stay for one night and gave the room to Shen Ruoqing and Old Lady Ji.

Su Jieru came back and got very angry at Shen Xiangbei.

They went to see Wang with good intentions, but Wang didn't appreciate it, and even mocked her for not being able to give birth to a son! Shen Xiangbei coaxed her in a gentle voice and said, "Have you forgotten our purpose today? You don't have to pay attention to the second sister-in-law. The important thing is that I just want to gain favor in front of my mother today."

"Yeah, do you think your mother will help us?"

"I don't know, let's try it."

Shen Xiangbei came just as Old Lady Ji and Shen Ruoqing sat down.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" asked Old Mrs. Ji.

"Mom, I've been working as a temporary worker in a state-owned chemical factory. Now I have an opportunity to become a regular worker, but it costs 500 yuan."

Old Lady Ji didn't even raise her eyelids. "Why are you telling me this? I don't have any money."

"Mom! I know you have Dad's compensation in your hands. I can sign a receipt and I will definitely pay it back in the future. This is my son's future."

"Why don't you go find your father-in-law?"

"You know that my father-in-law has always looked down on our family. If you really go to him, your son will have to keep his tail between his legs in the Su family. Besides, Su Qiang is about to get engaged, and the woman hasn't even raised enough money yet. Where will the money come from to run my job?"

"That's your own business. You chose the path yourself. No matter how hard it is, you have to go through it yourself." Old Lady Ji snorted. "This money is your mother's coffin and your younger sister's dowry. You can't touch it."

Shen Xiangbei felt bitter: "Mom, I never complained when you came to my house these years. Now my son is in trouble, you have to help him no matter what, right? The state-owned chemical plant has not been doing well in the past two years. If I can't get a permanent job this year, I might even lose my job. And if I become a formal employee, I can help arrange my younger sister's marriage in the future."

Old Mrs. Ji pondered for a while and said, "After all, you are my biological son, so write the IOU."

Shen Xiangbei was delighted, "Mom, you agree? Don't worry, as a brother, I will definitely take full responsibility for my little sister's future marriage!"

"I don't have the money with me. You'll come back with me tomorrow to get it. And don't tell anyone about this. If your brothers and sisters-in-law find out, I won't give you the money."

After all, Shen Xiangbei is the most outstanding among his sons. Although he is a son-in-law, Guaibao can only rely on Shen Xiangbei for support in the future.

After writing the IOU, Shen Xiangbei left happily.

"Among your brothers, you, the fourth brother, are the most clever." Old Mrs. Ji sighed.

"You should also learn more from your fourth brother."

Shen Ruoqing thought that he should learn more from his mother. No matter how smart the fourth brother is, he is not as smart as Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji still has two small yellow croakers in her hands. She obviously wanted to lend money to the fourth brother, but she pretended to be embarrassed to make Shen Xiangbei grateful.

But if the fourth brother's job is converted to a regular job, it would be a good thing. Shen Xiangbei has been working for several years and is still a temporary worker. No wonder Shen Xiangbei is so anxious.

At dawn, Shen Ruoqing went to the black market. This time, she carried a big schoolbag, put on a human skin mask, took a transformation pill, and went to find Brother Biao.

"Brother Xiaoliu, you finally remembered me, your elder brother. What good things did you bring today? Food again?" Brother Biao's face was smiling like a flower.

Shen Ruoqing waved her hand, "I'm not selling food today, but I have a batch of good stuff."

Xiaoliu's name was the one given by the human skin mask last time, and it was said that he was Xiaowu's brother.

"Brother, let me have a look." Shen Ruoqing took out a Seagull watch, various plastic sandals, a plastic comb, a plastic soap box, and a plastic cup.

Brother Biao's throat rolled.

“So many chemicals?”

Today's plastic products are called chemicals because they are difficult to manufacture and each one is very expensive.

An ordinary plastic cup like this costs one dollar in a department store, and you need a ticket.

"Brother Biao, please check the goods."

"The goods are all good. I'll give you 180 yuan for the Seagull watch, 3.5 yuan for the sandals, 1.5 yuan for the cup, 1 yuan for the soap box, and 2 yuan for the comb. I wonder how much Brother Xiaoliu is willing to give?"

"How much do you want?"

From what she said, it seems like a large amount.

"I have 18 watches with me now, and 20 other chemical supplies besides the chemical sandals."

There’s no way, this schoolbag can only hold so much.

"I've got enough watches. Do you have any more of these chemicals? If you do, give me 500 of each."

"Yes, then we'll do the same as before. But I want to ask if you have any blank letters of introduction? Give me a few and I'll buy them with money."

"Hey, I have a lot of those things. We are old friends. Why ask for money? I will just give you a few."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

All these things cost exactly 7,400 yuan.

Shen Ruoqing was a little disappointed. She thought Brother Biao would ask for more goods, but she didn't expect that he only asked for goods worth more than 7,000 yuan.

But 7,000 is not a small amount, Shen Ruoqing calculated, maybe he should sell grain next time? But if so much grain floods into the market, the people above will definitely track it down, and it will be a disaster if they find out about him.

As usual, Shen Ruoqing put the goods in the warehouse, notified Brother Biao to pick them up, and then the money and goods were settled.

Shen Ruoqing was very happy that her net worth exceeded 10,000 yuan again. After changing back into her clothes, she carried two big grass carps back to Shen Xiangbei's house.

There were two grass carps, one for braising and the other for making soup for Wang.

"I am really capable. I can buy such good grass carp." Shen Xiangbei praised Shen Ruoqing and handed two grass carps to Su Jieru.

Lunch was made by Su Jieru, and the taste was ordinary, even a little unpalatable. Shen Ruoqing could only say that her fish was wasted. In the Su family, Shen Xiangbei usually cooked, but now that Old Lady Ji brought Shen Ruoqing here, she asked Su Jieru to show off her cooking skills.

When Old Lady Ji and Shen Ruoqing went to deliver the fish at noon, Wang was really showing off to the guy in the next bed.

"I'm telling you, this woman needs to give birth to a son to be able to stand up straight. Giving birth to a girl is useless. Don't blame your in-laws for not having anyone come. Who made you give birth to a girl?"

"Second sister-in-law!"

Shen Ruoqing couldn't help but call out to Wang.

Wang's smug face suddenly turned a little unhappy when she saw the dark face of Old Lady Ji: "Mom, you are here?"

The woman next to her was hugging her daughter and crying.

"Sister, don't be sad. You can't cry during the confinement period. It's all because of my second sister-in-law's gossip. I apologize to you on her behalf. These two eggs are her apology."

Shen Ruoqing stuffed the egg that originally belonged to Wang into the woman's hand.

“Those are my eggs!”
