Chapter 36
At this moment, at Lu Dashan's house next door.
Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua had just gone out for a short while when they were called back by their eldest daughter Lu Xiujuan.
When I came back, I saw Lu Xiujuan standing alone at the door, and I was suddenly shocked.
Especially since it's only a little after eight o'clock now. If she gets home at this time, she must have left town at around five in the morning as soon as it got light, right?
He came back so early, something urgent must have happened!
Therefore, although Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua were anxious about earning work points, they were also worried about Lu Xiujuan.
Of course, what they were most worried about was her husband's family.
Therefore, as soon as they saw Lu Xiujuan coming back with a bitter face, Jiang Guihua and Lu Dashan started asking.
"What happened? Why are you back so early in the morning?"
"Did you do something wrong at the Wang family? Did they kick you out?"
"Speak up! Have you offended your in-laws? You little bitch, I knew you were useless and stupid. You were so lucky to find a city guy as your husband, but you ruined the marriage like this. You are a useless piece of shit!"
Without waiting for Lu Xiujuan to explain the situation clearly, Jiang Guihua started scolding her.
After all, in her heart, her daughter Lu Xiujuan was a person who had nothing. The thing that made her most proud in her life was that she found Wang Chengwen as her aunt. It was because of this wedding that Jiang Guihua's attitude towards Lu Xiujuan became better.
But now that she realized that Lu Xiujuan couldn't even control this marriage, she was almost going crazy!
You must know that Jiang Guihua actually doesn't care at all whether her daughter is married well or how her life will be in the future. What she cares more about is whether the man she marries, that is, whether her future uncle can help her precious son!
The four members of the Wang family are all workers. Obviously, according to their conditions, they can easily arrange a job in the city for her precious son Lu Jinbao.
That's why Jiang Guihua and Lu Dashan were so nice to Lu Xiujuan and their son-in-law Wang Chengwen.
You have to be nicer to them, after all, your son's job in the future depends on them!
But now...
Thinking that her son's job might be ruined because of Lu Xiujuan's mistake, Jiang Guihua simply reached out and hit Lu Xiujuan's arm twice.
There was really no force in those two blows, and red marks instantly appeared on Lu Xiujuan's arms.
However, Lu Xiujuan had become accustomed to her parents scolding and beating her without asking the reason.
Even though they treated her like this, she still felt inexplicably happy and wanted to laugh.
After all, as long as they are ruthless and shameless enough, then after they know what she has done, they will no longer have the courage to scold themselves!
Lu Xiujuan ignored the pain in her arm and spoke to Lu Dashan and his wife without any expression.
"I came back this time because something happened at my husband's house."
When they saw Lu Xiujuan admitted it herself, Jiang Guihua and Lu Dashan were really disappointed.
It’s over, it’s over. Their relationship with the Wang family is probably going to be ruined. What will happen to their son in the future?
Just as the two were lost in thought, Lu Xiujuan continued.
"Dad, Mom, we have some extra money, right? Can you lend me some? My mother-in-law wants to borrow some money to help with some favors so that I can get a new job."
What?
Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua were completely stunned by the news.
"Borrow money? Where does our family have money? Are you crazy?" Jiang Guihua reacted strongly and started yelling when she heard this.
"The Wang family has four workers. How could they be broke? Did you deliberately deceive us, you little bitch? Explain it to me!"
In short, Jiang Guihua just couldn't believe that the Wang family would ask them to borrow money for no reason.
Other things are easy to deal with, but once money is involved, Jiang Guihua has to be extremely alert.
Lu Dashan didn't say anything, but it was obvious from his expression that he had the same idea as Jiang Guihua. Neither of them quite believed this, and they didn't want to lend money.
Of course Lu Xiujuan knew that it was not easy to borrow this money. After all, money was the most important thing in her parents' lives.
Fortunately, her brother-in-law Wang Chengwu gave her some advice and she could deal with it according to what he said.
Lu Xiujuan looked at Jiang Guihua and his wife expressionlessly, and then said, "I don't need to lie to you. In fact, my brother-in-law is waiting at the entrance of the village. If you really don't believe me, I'll call him over."
Wang Chengwu did come here with Lu Xiujuan, but in order to allow Lu Xiujuan to give full play to her abilities, and also because he was worried that she would not be able to get anything out of Jiang Guihua and her husband if he stayed here, he had temporarily left Lu's house and went to wait at the village entrance.
When they heard that the Wang family had also arrived, Jiang Guihua and Lu Dashan became anxious.
"The Wang family is here? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Jiang Guihua was afraid that Wang Chengwu had heard what they had just said, and she was very worried.
"Is he really at the entrance of the village, not inside the house, nor outside?"
Lu Xiujuan curled the corners of her mouth.
"If you don't believe me, you can go out and see for yourself."
Lu Dashan looked at her suspiciously for two seconds, but finally he was still worried, so he went to the door, opened it and looked outside. Seeing that Wang Chengwu was not waiting at the door, he felt relieved.
However, thinking about what Lu Xiujuan had just said, Wang Chengwu was waiting at the village entrance, he also realized that the Wang family was probably embarrassed to come and speak in person, so they were waiting at the village entrance.
After thinking about it, Lu Dashan couldn't help it, and quickly ran two steps to the front to look at the village entrance. Sure enough, he saw a man riding a bicycle parked at the entrance of the village, and that figure was Wang Chengwu.
The moment Lu Dashan saw Wang Chengwu's figure from afar, he no longer dared to doubt.
He didn't expect that what Lu Xiujuan said was actually true. The Wang family actually came to them to borrow money?
But how could the Wang family be so penniless? How could they have the nerve to ask their country relatives for a loan?
Lu Dashan couldn't figure it out no matter what, so he could only quickly sneak back home and ask these questions.
Lu Xiujuan's explanation for this is very reasonable.
"The Wang family is not poor, but they have all their money in fixed deposits."
Lu Xiujuan only learned the unfamiliar term "fixed deposit" yesterday, but that did not prevent her from pretending to know a lot and explaining the situation to Lu Dashan and his wife.
After much persuasion, Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua finally understood what was meant. They also realized that the Wang family was not short of money but did not want to touch the money for the time being, and they would be able to take it out and give it to Lu Dashan after a while.
Hearing this, Lu Dashan naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he started to get tangled up.
The amount of money that the Wang family wanted to borrow was not much, in fact only 300 yuan. This 300 yuan might not be enough for an ordinary rural family, but they had some money because of special reasons.
Even though a lot of the initial money had been spent, the remaining two or three hundred, plus the money they had saved from working over the years, it was not difficult to come up with three hundred yuan.
They really took out this money all at once. How do you explain it?
And if they don’t take it, will the Wang family be dissatisfied with them?
After all, their precious son's future and career will depend on the Wang family. If they offend the Wang family at this time, wouldn't it cause trouble for their son?
Lu Dashan couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he could only let Lu Xiujuan wait outside. Then he winked at Jiang Guihua and asked her to come in so that they could discuss it properly.
The couple was walking into the house, and Lu Xiujuan did not stop them, but she couldn't help but remind them when they entered.
"If my mother-in-law's job is adjusted, it will be much easier for her to do many things in the future."
This means that finding a job for my brother will be easier.
This sentence successfully hit the hearts of Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua, and the balance in their hearts suddenly tilted a little.
But we still have to negotiate it, after all, three hundred yuan is not a small amount of money.
While they were discussing, Meng Yinyin and Meng Xuan next door had already heard the situation in the Lu family from the other side of the wall.
The brother and sister had very sharp ears. Not only did they hear everything going on next door, they even guessed what Wang Chengwu and Lu Xiujuan were planning.
Meng Yinyin leaned against the wall and asked Meng Xuan in a low voice.
"Brother, can we wait until they take out the money before we go over and close the net?"
Hearing this, Meng Xuan looked at her with disdain and spoke in the same low voice.
"I think it would be faster for you to go back and dream."
If Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua were really so easy to admit, they would have returned everything to Lu Chen long ago. Why would they have the audacity to wait until now?
"Then should we just pretend we don't know and not show up?"
She wanted to wait and jump out to scold Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua.
Meng Xuan could see through her little thoughts and could only say this.
"Why rush? There are plenty of opportunities for you to take revenge."
She hasn't even married Lu Chen yet, but she feels so sorry for him and is worried about him.
Meng Xuan would never admit that he felt jealous.
While the brother and sister were talking, Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua quickly discussed and made a decision, and then walked out.
"We'll borrow this money."
The person who spoke was Lu Dashan. He looked at Lu Xiujuan and said in a deep voice.
"Although we are relatives, as the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly, so I will lend you the money, but you have to write an IOU. Go and tell the Wang family. If they are willing, I will lend them the money. If they don't write an IOU, there is nothing I can do."
Lu Dashan had just finished speaking when he unexpectedly saw Lu Xiujuan take out a piece of paper from her pocket.
At the top of the paper were written the words "IOU" in large letters.
Lu Dashan's eyes widened.
"The Wang family has already written the IOU and signed it. Don't worry, Dad. Who are they to owe you such a small amount of money?"
Lu Xiujuan looked at Lu Dashan with a smile, and Lu Dashan looked unhappy because of her expression which seemed to be mocking him for judging others by his own mean mind.
But it must be said that it was precisely because Lu Xiujuan mocked him so openly that he was not that worried in his heart.
After taking the IOU and looking at it for a few seconds, he made sure that there was nothing wrong with it before turning around and planning to go in and get the money.
At this moment, Lu Xiujuan behind him said.
"It's too late. I'll go in with you. After we get the money, we have to go back to town to do some work!"
Lu Dashan naturally didn't want Lu Xiujuan to know where they kept their money, but Lu Xiujuan looked impatient.
"Dad, I'm married now and I don't have any keys. Do you really think I can come back and steal your money?"
Of course Lu Dashan refused to admit that he was thinking this way, but thinking that Lu Xiujuan really didn't have the opportunity to come back often, and had become a member of the Wang family, it wouldn't be a big deal to offend her too much, so that she wouldn't say bad things about them in front of the Wang family.
In the end, he could only say this with a deliberately stern face.
"Alright, alright, what are you thinking about all day? Who said you were going to steal money? Just come in!"
Having said that, Lu Dashan opened the door and brought Lu Xiujuan into the room under Jiang Guihua's worried gaze.
This was the first time that Lu Xiujuan's parents allowed her to enter their house. She felt happy, but also a little unbalanced.
Her brother could go into any room he wanted and never asked for anyone's permission, even her parents' room.
Maybe he even already knew where the old couple kept their money!
Only she had been treated like a thief by her family all these years. Now that she had become the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, they no longer dared to treat her the same way as before, so they let her in.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiujuan became even more determined that she would never leave the Wang family!
Only by staying in the Wang family can she avoid being despised and looked down upon!
