For the sake of my parents, as long as you don't play tricks on me, I will give you some face as your eldest brother.
"Thank you, little sister. In the past...it was my fault. I will pay you back 6,000 yuan as soon as I have money, or by the end of next year at the latest. I will write down the repayment date on the IOU." I will give you more gifts when I make money.
"Okay, that's it. Whether it's doing business or borrowing money, discuss it with my sister-in-law." Don't create any more family conflicts and make everyone unhappy during the New Year.
"I will discuss it with your sister-in-law. She is a reasonable person and can make sense." Jiang Mingli has been with Sun Lili for so many years, so he has some understanding of this.
"That's fine. Communicate well. As a bridge in the middle, you need to say nice things to both sides. This way you can avoid conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as much as possible. Xiaobei has lived with his parents for so many years, and they have never had any conflicts." As a middleman, I have put in a lot of effort.
Jiang Mingli: “…” When Chen Feng was here before, she didn’t listen, and no matter how much I said, it was useless.
Jiang Mingli privately found Sun Lili and told her about his plan. He also said that he planned to borrow 6,000 yuan from Jiang Shushu as capital, and would write a promissory note and pay it back by the end of the year.
Sun Lili thought about it for more than ten minutes and finally nodded in agreement, "Just do it if you want to. I support you. You are doing this for the good of the family. Even if something happens, the family still has my salary to support them, and we can always make ends meet." The sister-in-law is a smart and generous person. She taught her the experience of success and borrowed money from her. She must be optimistic about Mingli. Since the whole family agreed to support her, then let's give it a try. Mingli also has a plan in mind, so there is no need to worry about him being cheated when he goes out.
"Thank you for your support, Lili. I believe I will succeed. My sister has told me a lot about the methods, experience, safety, and supply sources. I have a rough idea in my mind. As long as I persist for two years, our family will not be rich, but we will definitely live a worry-free life. We don't have to worry about our three children anymore."
"Okay, I believe you, Mingli. You are so smart, you will definitely succeed."
"Lili, don't worry, I will definitely make sure you live a good life. You've been working hard at home while I've been away on business."
Jiang Mingli enjoys discussing things with Sun Lili because she never gets emotional, and they get along very well. This is also the reason why their relationship is getting better and better. A partner with the same values and stable emotions is truly fascinating.
"It's hard running around outside, so you have to take good care of yourself. We have a good life now, and I'm very content. I'm lucky to have met you in this life. As long as you're with me, whether I have money or not, I consider it a good life."
…
Yang Xiaobei took a bowl of chopped star fruit and sprinkled salt on it carefully. "Shushu, have some star fruit. I just cut it."
"Okay, I just picked it."
"Well, take a few kids to the mountain to pick carambolas. The carambolas are a bit sour this year, so I sprinkled some chili salt on them. They taste good, sour and spicy. Try it," Yang Xiaobei took a piece and put it to Jiang Shushu's mouth.
Jiang Shushu opened his mouth and took a bite of the carambola. "Delicious, refreshing."
The couple found a bench and sat down, side by side, eating star fruit and chatting.
"Where are they? They're rarely seen during the day except at mealtimes."
"Let's go play. We are all children who grew up in the city. When we return to the countryside, we feel a strong sense of novelty. We are curious about everything and want to go everywhere. We all know each other in the village. They are old enough, so I don't care about them. They can go wherever they like to play." It just so happens that I don't have to take care of the children. I finally have a vacation, but I am busy with this and that. I don't even have much time to spend with my wife. The two little kids go to play with their older brothers and sisters, and now I have a lot of free time. I can finally sit down and spend some time with my wife and hug her.
…
"I have something to tell you. My brother is planning to go into business... I see he has very little capital, so I'm thinking of lending him 6,000 yuan to help him avoid some detours. After all, money makes things easier."
"Okay, it's up to you. A poor family can bring rich roads. More money means more choices. My brother is also very smart and has a talent for business. Going into business won't be difficult for him." For a talent like my brother-in-law, doing business is definitely more promising than being the captain of the security team.
"I hope so, so that you can pay me back 6,000 yuan by the end of the year. I don't want my money to go to waste." My money can be lent, but it can never be given away.
Yang Xiaobei smiled and said, "You may sound hard on the outside but you are soft on the inside. If you care about your elder brother, then so be it. There is nothing to be embarrassed about." If Shushu was really cruel, how could he possibly lend 6,000 yuan to his brother-in-law?
Jiang Shushu had a look on his face that said, "You're talking nonsense." "I care about him? Are you kidding me? How could I possibly care about him? He's not a three-year-old child. Besides, he has a wife, children, and parents. Is it my turn to care about him? I'm only helping him for my parents' sake."
"Yes, yes, yes, you have a point."
Jiang Shushu: “…”
Jiang Shushu thought of what she had said to Yang Xiaobei before, that there was no need to pay much attention to Jiang Mingli and that he should just be polite on the surface. So she didn't know what to say anymore.
Finally, Jiang Shushu thought about it and said, "My elder brother has performed well in recent years. I am a man who does not bear grudges, so I don't bother with him so much." I am not contradicting myself, but Jiang Mingli has behaved well in recent years and has become like a man.
Yang Xiaobei suppressed the smile on his lips and said, "I know, I understand. If someone admits his mistakes and corrects them, we should give him a chance." In the past, my brother-in-law could only be described as selfish and a little unfilial, but he was not bad to the core. As a family, we should always give him a chance. It's human nature.
"I only helped him because I thought he could be saved. If he was hopeless, I would definitely ignore him. After all, we are still connected, so I hope his life gets better in the future. Even if we take a step back, having a rich brother is better than having no one."
"You're not wrong to think this way. As long as brothers and sisters don't scheme against each other, and they live well, it will only bring more benefits than disadvantages." Putting aside other things, at least you don't have to worry too much about your parents' retirement.
"I think so too."
Yang Xiaobei suddenly thought of himself. "It's a shame, so many of my brothers and sisters in this world don't understand this. They all want to show off their extraordinaryness and family status by living the best life they can, even at the cost of killing each other." How ridiculous! The world outside is so big, with so many people, why are they so focused on their own little piece of the pie? Wouldn't it be better to go out and compete with those who are more capable than you?
