If Xiaoxi borrows money from others at this time, then the debt will be borne by Xiaoxi in the end.
Although they were willing to lend it out, they were not happy about letting those two old guys take advantage of it.
"Xiaoxi, your idea is good. Many people in our village have done this before. Go quickly. By the way, don't sign it. If your grandparents don't acknowledge it, it will be troublesome."
Aunt Su thought a lot and gave Shen Mingxi special instructions.
"I know. I will take the IOU and ask grandpa to sign it. After all, he is the head of the family."
Aunt Su and Aunt Zhang looked at each other and smiles appeared on their faces.
Not far away, Mr. Shen San and Accountant Qi from the brigade were also walking towards here.
The brigade accountant carries a military green shoulder bag which he carries with him all year round.
At this time, a few neighbors gathered around to watch the fun.
Of course, this belongs to the neighbors of the neighbors.
These people didn't feel hot at all and they all stared at the Shen family's yard.
But which farmer would complain about the heat?
Even if I want to complain, I don't have the conditions to do so.
Next, everything went smoothly. Uncle Shen Sanye and the brigade accountant came, and no matter how reluctant Old Man Shen was, he had to sign the IOU obediently.
After all, the Shen family has not split up and are all registered in the same household registration book, and he is the head of the household, so naturally he has to sign.
Mr. Shen San was very generous and lent the Shen family two hundred yuan. When Mrs. Shen saw the bills, she really wanted to rush over and snatch them all back.
But there were dozens of eyes staring at me.
She really didn't dare.
But he said, "It's just a cut, why do we need to be hospitalized? We farmers are strong and can just bandage it. Why can we spend so much money..."
He stared at Shen Mingxi who was holding the money, and said with a resentful tone, "You stupid girl, keep a record of how much you spend, and give me back every penny of the rest, otherwise, I will show you how I will deal with you."
Before Shen Mingxi could speak, Third Master Shen got angry. "Mancang family, how can you talk like that? This eldest son is also your flesh and blood, he is your biological son. This is not just a cut, it is a cut on the aorta. If you hadn't rescued him in time, your family would have held a funeral now.
It's good enough to have this money. Surgery, blood transfusion, injections and medicine, which one doesn't cost money? We farmers are hardy, but in the spring, your second child caught a cold, why did you run to the county hospital? There were so many people with colds in the village during that time, and some of them got better without even taking medicine, but your second child had to get an IV drip. Why didn't you say this at that time..."
Although to some extent, this is Shen Mancang's family affair.
But he is the captain.
Sometimes you really need to take care of these household chores.
Besides, he had long disliked these two old guys.
The people around burst into laughter.
Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen blushed and wanted to say something in rebuttal, but they kept their mouths shut.
Old man Shen had no choice but to scold old lady Shen, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Go and pack some food and drinks for Xiaoxi. They haven't had lunch yet..."
Old Man Shen didn't want to go at first, but when he thought of his third son, Shen Jun, he went to the kitchen mumbling.
Shen Mingxi's heart was filled with gratitude. She didn't expect that Mr. Shen San would come in person. She thought it would take some effort to negotiate, but it went so smoothly.
Chen Li and Shen Qingshan also came over to express their gratitude.
Uncle Shen waved his hand. Although it was what he had to do, he was happy to receive the other party's sincere gratitude. He said, "Xiaoxi, I asked the hospital, and it will cost at least 190 yuan. If you don't have enough money, come back and find me. Now hurry up and pack up. Xiaowu and the others are eating. By the time you pack up, they should have finished eating. Then let them take you to the hospital."
After that, without waiting for Shen Mingxi to speak, he laughed and scolded the person next to him, "It's so hot, how can you have so much free time? Why don't you go home and rest for a while? Go away, stop looking..."
Old man Shen frowned tightly.
Why does this require more than 190?
Wouldn't that mean there would be nothing left?
Mr. Shen San was too lazy to pay attention to Old Man Shen. He left with his hands behind his back and Accountant Qi.
The others also dispersed automatically.
At noon, Wu Zhaodi didn't even cook any dishes. She just cooked the corn grits, picked a few cucumbers, pounded them, and mixed them with soybean paste to make a dish.
Shen Mingxi ate a few bites in a hurry, put the corn grits in the lunch box, and went to the vegetable garden to pick three cucumbers, two peppers and a handful of coriander.
After washing, smash the cucumber into small pieces, chop the chili and coriander into fine pieces, smash the garlic into garlic paste, mix these ingredients together and add salt, and a unique fragrance will come to your face.
She seemed not to notice the gloomy expression on Old Lady Shen's face. She put these in another lunch box and walked out quickly.
Leaving Old Mrs. Shen there cursing.
Shen Mingxi placed the two lunch boxes in a narrow wicker basket, gave Shen Qingshan a few instructions, and then walked quickly towards the brigade headquarters.
The sun was scorching hot at this time, but Shen Mingxi walked very fast.
Then when I turned the corner, I saw a person standing in front of me. It was Grandma Mu, a five-guarantee household.
Shen Mingxi took a few quick steps and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Grandma Mu, what are you doing here?"
And pulled Grandma Mu to a shady place.
Grandma Mu did not delay, but took out a cloth bag from her pocket. After opening it, she found neatly stacked money inside, including one yuan, fifty cents, two cents and one cent...
"Xiaoxi, don't refuse Grandma Mu. For so many years, I've been grateful to you and your two brothers for taking care of me. Now your father is in trouble, and I can't just stand by and watch. Although this money is not much, maybe you can buy some nutritional supplements or something. If you don't want it, Grandma Mu will be very sad."
Shen Mingxi looked down at the money in the cloth bag.
Some are very old, and it seems that Grandma Mu has saved them for many years.
Shen Mingxi raised his head and said earnestly, "Grandma Mu, it's not that I don't want it, but I have enough money now, 200 yuan. It was loaned to us by my third grandfather from the brigade. Please keep the money. If I don't have enough money, I will definitely ask you for it."
Grandma Mu thought about it and put the cloth bag back into her pocket. Since the child had 200 yuan in her hand, it was enough for the time being. She would give her more when the money was insufficient.
She had a basket on her arm. Grandma Mu opened the cloth covering it and took out a cloth bag wrapped in white cotton cloth.
"...This is the vegetable dumplings I just steamed. Although there is no meat, I put some animal oil in it..." As she spoke, she put the cloth bag into Shen Mingxi's wicker basket.
