But after the two of them went back and told Jiang Zhenzhu about what happened, Jiang Zhenzhu scolded them both.
"Useless things, you are going to borrow money, not to cheat, what are you afraid of?"
"Don't forget that your mother is her biological aunt, which is different from her uncle or aunt."
"Hurry up and make another trip. We must borrow the money today. Otherwise, when the grain is distributed later and you don't have money to buy food, I don't think you will starve to death."
In the end, the two had no choice but to run to the Red Flag Brigade again.
It was noon when they arrived at the Hongqi Brigade, and everyone in the Qiao family had returned from work.
Jiang Dawang was sitting in the yard of the Qiao family, her legs were shaking. Her cousin Jiang Laicai, who came with her, was calmer.
Fang Mei handed a glass of water to her two nephews and said, "Why did you two think of coming here at this time? Did something happen at home?"
Jiang Dawang chuckled nervously, "Haha... yes... there is something."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Shizhen, who was standing by, was nervous and worried, but he still took precautions and did not go over to ask.
After all, if something really happened to their daughter, they wouldn't be so nervous and scared. They probably wanted to borrow money in their daughter's name.
Fang Mei smiled and asked, "What happened?"
Jiang Dawang: "That's right, that's right..."
Seeing Jiang Dawang hesitating, Jiang Laicai stepped forward and said:
"This year is not a good year. You know the situation of Da Wang's family. Da Wang wanted to come here to borrow some money from aunt and grandmother so that he could buy some food to survive the winter when the grain is distributed."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Shizhen knew that his guess was correct.
No one goes to the temple unless he has something to do.
Before Fang Mei could speak, Zhu Shizhen said, "Then your trip here may be in vain. We are also trying to raise money to buy some food for the winter."
After saying this, Jiang Dawang said anxiously: "Grandma, your family doesn't have money either? No, it's not that, it's not that Xia Zhi got married before..."
"You only heard that when Xia Zhi got married, her boyfriend gave her a lot of gifts, but we also have to give dowries as human beings." Zhu Shizhen interrupted Jiang Dawang before he could finish his words.
"We didn't take a penny of the betrothal money. We sent it all back to Xia Zhi as a dowry."
"Don't set your sights on Xia Zhi. The dowry is not that much."
"Your brother-in-law has a sick grandmother who needs medicine and medical treatment all year round."
Jiang Laicai curled his lips, "Didn't they say Xia Zhi's husband is a soldier, with a high salary and good conditions? And he's from the city."
At this time, Qiao Xiazhi, who had just come out of the toilet, said:
"His salary is earned by his life. You can go if you want?"
When Jiang Dawang saw Qiao Xiazhi coming out, he immediately stood up and said courageously:
"Xia Zhi Lai Cai didn't mean to say that, don't misunderstand me, and don't be angry."
"We don't want to borrow a lot, just 50 yuan is enough. We will pay you back when we have money."
Qiao Xiazhi refused outright: "No, and to tell you the truth, I won't lend it to you even if I have it. What are you guys planning? Others may not understand, but how can I not understand?"
Qiao Xiazhi doesn't like beating around the bush. For some relatives, it is more practical to just refuse them outright rather than showing them mercy.
Jiang Dawang: "We can write an IOU. We will pay it back when we have money."
Qiao Xiazhi: "I'm sorry, it's late. We have to have lunch. We won't keep you here. Please go back."
Seeing that Qiao Xiazhi really didn't show any kinship, Jiang Laicai snorted coldly:
"Humph... You are such a heartless and ungrateful woman. It's a pity that Da Wang's mother is your biological aunt, your grandmother's biological daughter, and still your biological daughter."
"Grandma, you are so cruel that you don't even care about your own daughter."
When Zhu Shizhen was criticized by a junior, he turned his face black and scolded, "Who the hell are you? How dare you come here to teach me a lesson?"
"So what if it's my biological daughter? I worked so hard to raise her, and now that she's married into the Jiang family, she's a member of the Jiang family. Does that mean she still needs me, her mother, to raise her?"
"Go back and tell your grandma that you don't have the money to borrow. If they feel they can't afford to raise my daughter, then just send her back to me."
"Also, don't think we don't know what you are up to. As Xia Zhi said, we won't lend it to you even if you have it."
After saying that, Zhu Shizhen looked at Jiang Dawang and said, "Dawang, next time if you remember me as your grandmother, come over and see how grandma welcomes you. If you bring a stranger over again, then don't come in."
"Grandma won't keep you for lunch today. We need to finish lunch quickly and go to work in the fields. You should go back as well."
Jiang Dawang: "Grandma, don't be angry. Laicai didn't say that on purpose. He was just a little anxious for the moment."
After saying that, Jiang Dawang quickly winked at Jiang Laicai. Jiang Laicai received Jiang Dawang's look and immediately apologized:
"I'm sorry, Grandma. I didn't mean to say that just now."
Zhu Shizhen didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he drove them away directly, "Get lost~~~"
As he said this, he was about to get a bamboo broom to chase the person away.
Seeing this, Jiang Laicai stood up and ran out of the yard like a frightened loach.
Jiang Dawang followed closely behind.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Xiazhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sure enough, my grandma is the one who will make the move."
"Okay, now that the annoying people are gone, let's quickly start eating."
After saying that, Qiao Xiazhi went into the kitchen and brought out the prepared meal.
She cooked the lunch today.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork + bird eggs, stir-fried cabbage, and pickled cucumbers.
