"Girl, can you lend me some money?"
Zhang Xiangmei finally spoke.
"Borrow money?"
Xiang Nuan didn't expect that she would ask her to borrow money. She wasn't familiar with her, and Yan Fangming probably didn't have much of a relationship with her man, so why would she come to borrow money from a newcomer like her?
In her previous life, she had heard colleagues complain about relatives coming to borrow money the day after their wedding, but she didn't expect that the same thing would happen to her.
Zhang Xiangmei smiled awkwardly, "Sister, I have no other choice but to come to you for help. Please help me. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!"
"Sister-in-law, I don't have any money either. My husband manages all the money in our family."
Everyone has come to her for help, but she is either a deadbeat or has a bad reputation, so no one wants to pay attention to her.
No matter which one it is, Xiang Nuan doesn't want to borrow it, so as to avoid trouble.
"Don't you have any more money? I want to borrow twenty, how much can you lend me? I really need money urgently. My mother is sick and in the hospital. I need to raise money for her treatment. Sister-in-law, please, you are so kind, please help me!"
Zhang Xiangmei didn't believe that she, the eldest daughter of a capitalist family, didn't have any private money.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the money leaks out from the fingers of these rich people, it would be enough for ordinary people like them to spend for several years. I only borrowed twenty dollars, which is not much at all.
"Sister-in-law, I really can't make the decision. Fang Ming will be back soon. Why don't you wait here and I'll discuss it with him when he comes back."
Xiang Nuan hated moral blackmail, but considering Yan Fangming's comradeship, she spoke politely.
I had just arrived and didn't know their family's situation, so I decided to talk to Yan Fangming first. In case their family really needed money urgently, it wouldn't be a problem to lend her some. After all, it was a matter of life and death. But I was afraid that she might not be telling the truth, so I couldn't lend her money yet.
Zhang Xiangmei was obviously a little anxious when she heard this. "No need to wait for Deputy Battalion Commander Yan to come back. Just lend me as much as you have. I don't think it's too little."
After hearing her words, Xiang Nuan was even more reluctant to lend.
"I spent all the money I had on the way here. I don't make any money now, so I spent all my money from Fang Ming. Let's wait for him. It's almost time to get off work. Sister-in-law, please sit down. I'll go cook first."
Not wanting to talk to her any more, Xiang Nuan found an excuse to leave. She seemed to be afraid of seeing Yan Fangming, so she would leave on her own initiative.
As expected, Zhang Xiangmei saw that she just wouldn't give in, and she felt so upset. She didn't expect her to be so unkind. "I won't sit down. My husband is about to get off work. I'll go back and cook for him."
She stood up and was about to leave. Xiang Nuan didn't dare to try to stop her. "Okay, then, sister-in-law, take care."
After sending the person out the door, she quickly closed and locked it.
"Huh! Who is that person? How weird!"
She rolled her eyes in frustration and continued to wash clothes.
After the clothes were washed, Yan Fangming came back with the prepared food.
"Why is the door still locked?"
"Let me ask you something. Whose family is that short-haired, dark-skinned woman with a miserable face? What's her family situation like?"
Yan Fangming frowned and put the lunch box on the table, "You are talking about Captain Ji's sister-in-law, right?"
"How would I know who her man is? She even came here when we were married."
Yan Fangming asked with a smile, "She came to our house?"
Xiang Nuan nodded, "Yeah, I've been gone for a while, I came to borrow money."
"Oh, that's her, no one else. Did you borrow it?"
"No, I don't know her well, but she came to my house to borrow money. It was the day after we got married, and she even blackmailed me. I didn't like what she said, and I didn't want to lend her the money.
What's the situation with their family? You said her husband is a battalion commander, so his subsidy should be more than yours, but she asked to borrow twenty yuan, saying that her mother was sick and in the hospital, and she was waiting for money for treatment."
Yan Fangming put the food on the table and went to the kitchen to get chopsticks before replying, "Captain Ji gets more subsidies than me, but Captain Ji's family's money is managed by Captain Ji's mother. His wife has no money, and her brothers from her mother's side write to her every few days asking for money. She has no choice but to borrow money from everywhere. She has almost borrowed money from all over our compound."
