Wenxue was talking, and seeing that Wencai was actually listening to him so quietly this time, he was afraid that Wencai had really encountered some difficulties. Wenxue stopped accusing him and asked calmly, "What do you want to borrow it for?"
"I've got a job, haven't I? Today, when I went to submit a statistical spreadsheet to my boss, I accidentally broke an antique vase in his office. He wants me to pay him 2,000 yuan. If I don't, not only will I lose my job, but they'll also turn me in to the police station."
Wencai is really a master of lying. He improvised and came up with such a perfect excuse.
"What kind of vase is that? It's so expensive. Come on, take me to see if I've been ripped off." Wenxue said as he grabbed Wencai's arm and asked him to take him to meet their boss.
Wencai was now anxious and quickly shook off Wenxue's hand. "If you don't want to lend it to me, then forget it. Why bother making up such an excuse? How could a big boss of a state-owned enterprise spend so much energy to cheat a nobody like me?"
Wenxue felt that what Wencai said made sense, but he didn't know that this so-called state-owned enterprise did not exist at all.
He took out his wallet and gave all the money in it to Wencai, "Here, this is all your brother's belongings. You know, the financial power of our family lies with your sister-in-law. Let alone 2,000, even if it's 200, I have to report to your sister-in-law."
Wencai excitedly took the money and counted it, and had no intention of listening to Wenxue seriously at all.
Wencai finished counting the money and put on a sullen face. It was obvious that the amount was not what he expected. "Only 1159?"
"What? You think it's not enough? Just give it to me." Wenxue said, deliberately reaching out to grab it.
Wencai saw this and quickly put the money in his pocket. Without saying a word of thanks, he turned around and went back to the courtyard.
It's okay if it's a little less! It's better than nothing. I can think of other things to do with the rest. I'm Li Wencai, so smart. This little money shouldn't be a problem for me.
What an ungrateful person he is. Once he got the money, he didn't even say thank you.
Wencai was so preoccupied with raising money that he didn't even react when he saw Shumei, who had previously been so ruthless towards him. He looked completely lost and distraught.
After lunch, everyone chatted in the living room as usual, while Shumei was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen.
Wencai, usually a chatterbox, sat on the sofa in silence, wondering how he could scrape together enough money for admission. Even when his aunt praised him to his brother and sister-in-law, he didn't react at all.
Even when he had to go to the bathroom urgently, he kept holding it in until he couldn't hold it any longer. Then he got up like a sleepwalker and went to the bathroom.
Seeing this, the old aunt asked indifferently, "Wencai, where are you going?"
"Oh! I'm going to the bathroom, you guys continue chatting." Wencai came back to his senses, replied lightly, and continued walking towards the bathroom.
As he entered the bathroom, a large gold ring and a ladies' watch on the sink caught his eye.
He didn't even bother going to the bathroom. A bad idea came to his mind. He grabbed the ring and watch, and smiled strangely at the mirror in front of the sink. Haha, God is really helping me, even God wants to help me! This watch of yours is really good. At worst, I can buy you another one when I make some money!
He looked at himself in the mirror and stroked his face. It was clearly an extraordinary face; a face that could make a big splash; a face that everyone would look up to.
He kissed the watch in his hand and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law!" He put the watch and ring in his trouser pocket and hummed a tune while peeing.
When he finished using the toilet and opened the door, he saw Meng Li standing at the door. Wencai was not mentally prepared, and because he felt guilty, he was so scared that his body twitched.
"Ouch! Sister-in-law, what are you doing standing here silently? You almost scared me to death."
Wencai was so scared that his face turned pale. When he saw that it was Meng Li standing outside, he relaxed a little, took a long breath, patted his chest, and asked Meng Li in a trembling voice.
This Wencai has no manliness in his bones. Apart from cheating and lying, he is very timid. This time he was forced into a corner and had to bite the bullet and steal.
"Look at you. Do I, your sister-in-law, look so scary? Look how scared you are, as if you saw a ghost." Meng Li would never be polite to her useless brother-in-law. When she spoke, she would not add any embellishments. Instead, she was more direct and did not give him any face.
"No, no, no, sister-in-law, you are as beautiful as a fairy, how can you be scary? My brother married you, it was a blessing from his past life. If I could marry a wife as beautiful as you, I would wake up laughing in my sleep. Sister-in-law, you need to go to the bathroom! Please."
Wen Cairang came out, bowed slightly, and stretched out his right hand in a respectful manner.
"Hey! The sun is rising from the west today! This is the first time I hear you speak so pleasantly." Meng Li walked into the bathroom with a smile and rummaged around on the sink.
Wencai saw her actions and knew that she must be looking for her watch and ring, and his heart was pounding with fear.
Stay calm, stay calm. Don't lose your composure now and don't run away. Stay calm, otherwise your sister-in-law will become suspicious.
Wencai had been planning to leave, but then he realized that he had to cry "thief, thief!" to completely remove his suspicion. They wouldn't go so far as to search him, would they? The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Wencai deliberately asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, are you looking for something?"
"Did you see a watch and a ring?"
"A watch? A ring? I don't see it!"
Meng Li looked at the empty sink, scratched her head, and said to herself, "That's right! I clearly remembered putting it here, how could it be gone?"
