Seeing that everyone else had lent money, Su He and the others couldn't refuse.
Moreover, the amount they borrowed this time was quite a lot in the tenement.
I lent out twenty yuan, and with the fifty yuan I borrowed last time that I haven't paid back yet, I've borrowed a total of seventy yuan from the Huang family!
Even this old lady complained that it wasn't enough, but Su He only took out this much, no more.
She felt bad about lending them these things, but she couldn't refuse. These days, everyone's salaries are public and transparent, and everyone knows that the couple earns a lot. It wouldn't be right if they didn't lend a single penny.
After all, the Huang family had sold their house to them before, and Su He was already being generous by lending them 200,000 yuan. To be honest, she didn't expect them to be able to pay it back in the next two years.
But it's impossible not to.
...
Old Huang borrowed money from all over the tenement, but in the end, he still couldn't borrow enough money to buy a job.
Work is hard to come by these days, and prices are much higher than before. Nobody knows how much savings Grandpa Huang has, but it certainly isn't much.
From this perspective, almost all of this money has to be borrowed. How long will it take to pay it off? Adding to the money borrowed for the eldest son, the Huang family is now drowning in debt.
The residents of the tenement all worried about their debts, wondering when they would be able to pay them off.
After borrowing from the courtyard, it seemed that it wasn't enough, so Grandpa Huang went outside to borrow more.
I borrowed from all my former colleagues, relatives, and friends, but it still wasn't enough.
Finally, having no other choice, Grandpa Huang sought help from someone who introduced him to a way to borrow the money, and he was finally able to manage to borrow enough.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, as soon as he got home with enough money, Grandpa Huang told his third son to take the money and secure a job that very night.
After Huang Laosan took the money and left, Huang Laoer finally returned.
He came back alone, probably because he couldn't persuade his wife to come back.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard about Grandpa Huang borrowing money. He was furious. He knew roughly how much money the old couple had. After doing the math, he realized that almost all the money for buying the job was borrowed.
Huang Lao Er was so angry that he rushed home, only to find that Lao San was no longer there. Upon asking, he learned that Lao San had taken the money and left. He immediately chased after him.
Su He and the others were quite surprised. They didn't expect Grandpa Huang to be in such a hurry. What kind of job was he buying so late at night? Isn't buying a job usually a cash-on-delivery transaction?
Even if you're in a hurry, you can't be this hasty, can you?
...
Huang Lao Er chased after her and didn't return until midnight, after which the Huang family started arguing again.
Su He and the others were already asleep when they were woken up.
Seeing the two children whimpering and about to cry after being woken up, Su He frowned deeply.
He grumbled irritably, "Is this ever going to stop? It's bad enough that you're making a scene during the day, but now you're making a scene in the middle of the night!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Chen family next door started cursing loudly in response.
"Your Huang family is pretty much done for. If you don't sleep, we still do. How long has this little thing been going on for?"
Instead of stopping, the Huang family raised their voices even louder, and soon after, Aunt Ren came running out crying.
"Oh God, this is terrible! God is going to kill me!"
Su He was getting impatient when, just then, Grandpa Huang's voice rang out again, knocking on doors one by one in a very urgent tone, probably indicating that something had happened.
Seeing this, Lin Jingyan sat up, put on his clothes, and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Su He sat on the bed, coaxing the fussy little Xi who had just woken up. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look."
