Ma Juan really wanted to be exposed by the villagers. She said viciously: "What nonsense are you talking about? When is it your turn to complain about my family's affairs?"
Aunt Yuan: "You dare to do it but you don't dare to let us say it."
Ma Juan was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to tear it apart.
Fortunately, Zhou Dahu came out in time to save the situation.
"To put it bluntly, you just want money and think 20 a month is too little."
"Since 20 yuan a month is not enough for the elderly to see a doctor, we can let grandpa and grandma go to Haishi with us after the New Year."
"From now on, just give grandpa and grandma 20 yuan a month, and we will take care of the rest."
"In Hai City, we don't let grandpa and grandma work in the fields. There is only a small plot of land in the backyard for growing vegetables, so my parents can take care of it."
"Although we are still in debt, it will not make our grandparents suffer."
Before Ma Juan could speak, Mrs. Zhou immediately lost her composure.
"Why are you still in debt? Aren't you making money outside? Why are you still in debt?"
Zhou Dahu: "Yes, I am making money outside, but the shop is rented from someone else. In the past few years, the landlord has been raising the rent every now and then. He has been raising the rent every now and then."
"Then Xiaohu and I discussed it and gritted our teeth. We borrowed some money from the bank and bought a shop. This way, we can do whatever we want with it."
Aunt Yuan was also shocked by Zhou Dahu's words and asked, "Then, how much money do you owe? I heard that a shop outside is not cheap now."
Zhou Dahu: "Of course. It's a big city and it's still under development. We bought it early. It's more than 30 or 40 yuan per square meter."
"We didn't dare to buy a house that was too big, so we bought one that was over 200 square meters, which is about the same size as the house we live in now."
"I spent nearly 10,000 yuan to buy it. I didn't have much money at the time, so I borrowed it from the bank and will pay it back slowly in the future."
Ma Juan didn't believe it and curled her lips and said, "Da Hu, if you don't want to give it to us, just say so directly. There's no need to make up such a big lie to deceive us."
Zhou Dahu: "Even if it's approved, you won't believe it. This is the bank's IOU, written in black and white, with the bank's seal, the loan amount, the borrower, my father, my brother and I all have our names on it."
After saying that, Zhou Dahu took out a promissory note.
This was indeed the money they borrowed from the bank when they bought the two shops.
It's just an interest-free loan.
In order to promote economic development, Hai City has introduced such a loan policy.
Ma Juan knew a few words, and was afraid that Zhou Dahu was trying to trick them, so she took the letter and read it carefully.
Although she didn't recognize some of the characters, she still knew the important characters for borrowing money and writing IOUs.
The names of the people in their family and the word "bank" were exactly the same, so she believed it was true.
Seeing that Ma Juan was silent, Mrs. Zhou asked, "Yes, is it true?"
Ma Juan: “It should be true.”
When she heard it was true, Mrs. Zhou almost fainted from suffocation.
Ten thousand yuan. The only five hundred yuan he had in his life was saved in recent years from the money sent back by his youngest son.
She had never seen a thousand yuan, let alone ten thousand.
Even if she doesn't eat or drink for the rest of her life, she probably won't be able to pay back a thousand yuan. Let alone ten thousand yuan. How long will it take her to pay it back?
Immediately, Old Mrs. Zhou picked up the big broom at home and started beating Zhou Dahu.
"You're such a spendthrift. I raised your father and he never did anything like this. Now that you've been out for just a few years, you already owe so much money."
"Ten thousand yuan! How long will it take for you to pay back ten thousand yuan? Oh my God!"
Old Mrs. Zhou beat and scolded Zhou Dahu at the same time. Zhou Dahu was not stupid, so she just beat him and he ran away.
After chasing for two rounds without hitting anyone, Old Mrs. Zhou sat down on the ground and started crying.
"Oh my God, I don't want to live anymore. I owe so much money that I can't pay it back in my lifetime."
"Just forget about living."
The old lady was crying and wailing. Then one of the villagers who had a relative working in a cooperative in the countryside said, "Hey, I heard that if a family member borrows money from a bank and can't pay it back, they will ask other family members to help pay it back."
"Yes, there was a gambler in the neighboring brigade. He had no money and borrowed 500 yuan from the cooperative. In the end, he couldn't pay it back, so he went to his brothers, elders, and family members to collect the money and finally paid it back."
"It's okay if we can just make up 500 yuan, but 10,000 yuan, even if we sacrifice the lives of the whole family and all our wealth, we still can't pay it back."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhou, who had been crying loudly just now, immediately became even more agitated.
"Don't even think about asking us to pay back the money that Zhou Dahu and Zhou Xiaohu borrowed. Anyway, I don't care. I won't go to Hai City. I'm living well in the countryside. I won't go anywhere. I won't be used to living in a place where I don't know anyone."
"The prices have risen sharply in recent years. I don't want much. Your father and I only need 20 yuan a month. It's not much for two old people. I'll give you 500 yuan a year. You can do whatever you want in the future."
"Don't say you're my son when you're out there. It's best if you don't come back until you've paid back the money."
When Jiang Yue heard that Zhou Dahu's wife was only 500 yuan a year, she immediately said, "500 yuan a year, old lady, why don't you go and rob her?"
"Nowadays, even if you work in a factory, 500 yuan a year is considered a high salary."
"You are in the countryside, you can still have some money left over even if you are 20 yuan a month, but now you ask for 500 yuan, how many buns do we have to sell to make it back?"
"And we have to pay the bank back every month. Aren't you trying to kill us?"
Zhou Dahu: "I don't have 500 yuan, but 300 yuan is up to you. If we don't come back at the end of each year, we will send it back, just like before."
Although Zhou Dahu and his friends opened a steamed bun shop in Haishi, but in order to cater to the customers' tastes, they not only sold steamed buns, but also dumplings, noodles, vermicelli, fried dough sticks, tea eggs, etc.
There are many kinds and they are rich.
And the stall is not only open in the morning.
I have my own shop there, and I open it until the afternoon, and only close it when I have sold out all the things I prepared that day.
If business is slower in the afternoon, we take turns guarding the store while the rest of us take a rest.
After all, when we first started making it, there were many people at home, so we were not overwhelmed no matter how many tricks we tried.
By doing this, it is not a big problem to earn a thousand or two thousand yuan a month.
But making money is one thing, and I naturally cannot let them know that there are vampires at home.
Otherwise, they would pull you up and suck you hard.
They just said that they are going to build a new house next year. If they knew about this, you can imagine that the old lady would force them to pay for it.
They work hard outside from dawn to dusk, so why should they use the money they earn to build a new house for the eldest daughter?
