"I'll lend it to you, I'll lend you whatever the interest rate is." An Bihuai's nose was bright red, and her voice was hoarse.
Yuan Doudou turned around and said calmly, "Okay, then let's sign the receipt."
"DouDou, can we do it without signing a receipt? Your second uncle promises you that he will pay you back every penny in a year." An Bihuai thought to himself that only by not signing a receipt could he have the opportunity to renege on the debt later.
Yuan Doudou guessed he would do this.
Fang Deming stepped forward and took out a prepared document: "I am the notary invited by Miss Yuan."
An Bihuai squinted, unable to believe it.
"DouDou, what are you doing? I'm your own second uncle, don't you trust me?"
An Bihuai took the document, bit his finger, and pressed his fingerprint on it.
Yuan Doudou put away the receipt with satisfaction and handed over her purse: "Second Uncle, please check it."
An Bihuai quickly took the purse, poured the contents into his palm, and had Zhuang Shuhui weigh it to confirm that it was exactly twenty taels.
“Wang Cuihua, here’s the money. From now on, our two families are even.”
Anbihuai angrily threw the money bag, which hit Wang Cuihua on the head, instantly causing a large bump to form.
"Oh my god, are you trying to kill me?" Wang Cuihua wailed, clutching her forehead.
Zhuang Shuhui shoved Wang Cuihua without any mercy, saying, "Take the money and get out of here."
He raised a good daughter, but she's now selling herself.
She didn't say it aloud, but she had already cursed him countless times in her heart.
With a mournful face, Anping walked up to Yuan Doudou and said, "Sister-in-law, I owe you a favor for this. I will definitely repay you when I have the chance in the future."
In this kind of world, who would be willing to take out so much money to help me out?
This is a great kindness.
Yuan Doudou waved her hand, "Alright, nothing else, I'll be going now."
An Bihua wanted to invite her to stay for dinner, but Zhuang Shuhui stopped him with a glare.
Yuan Doudou brought Fang Deming home, where Wang Shi had already prepared a meal and was sitting in the yard waiting for her.
"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you." Fang Deming bowed and greeted her.
Wang pursed her lips and said, "They're here. Perfect timing, let's have dinner together."
Fang Deming politely declined, but couldn't resist Wang's enthusiasm and stayed anyway.
Yuan Doudou helped Anji wash his hands, saying, "Rub your ten fingers together to clean your little hands so you can eat properly."
Anji washed his hands with a smile; he liked washing his hands with his mother.
During the meal, Wang kept putting food on Fang Deming's plate.
"Xiao Fang, I heard from Dou Dou that you are the county magistrate's man."
Wang put down her chopsticks and looked at Fang Deming intently.
“Auntie, I’ve been following adults since I was sixteen, for ten years now.”
Wang nodded: "Then you must be the master's confidant. The master will definitely tell you anything."
"Auntie, you flatter me. I'm just a gofer." Fang Deming put down his chopsticks and straightened his posture.
"Auntie, please speak frankly about what's wrong."
He had been through a lot, and he could tell immediately that the old lady was in trouble.
Wang was silent for a moment, then fixed her gaze on Fang Deming's face. "I'm asking you, does your master know where my Anrong is?"
Yuan Doudou froze, stopping her actions of picking up food.
"Mother, you won't get anything out of him."
Seeing Fang Deming's troubled expression, Yuan Doudou guessed that there must be something unspeakable going on here.
Wang felt upset. Before Fang Deming could even speak, her daughter-in-law had already stopped him. Didn't she want Anrong to come back?
Fang Deming didn't know what to say for a moment. He had heard the adults mention Anrong before.
"Auntie, is Anrong your son?"
"Yes, have you ever heard your family mention him?"
Fang Deming hesitated for a moment, then said, "Auntie, to be honest, I've never heard of this name before."
Yuan Doudou stared at Fang Deming, knowing he was lying.
"Mom, you see, I wasn't wrong. They're adults, they wouldn't tell everything to their subordinates."
Yuan Doudou helped Wang Shi into the house. The mother-in-law missed her son and lost her appetite.
"Officer Fang, why did you hide it just now?" Yuan Doudou couldn't help but ask curiously.
Fang Deming lowered his head and remained silent.
Yuan Doudou understood that he had his own difficulties, so she decided not to make things difficult for him.
"Eat your food quickly, it's getting cold." Yuan Doudou picked up a piece of egg and put it in his bowl.
After the meal, Fang Deming rode back on horseback, while Yuan Doudou went to tidy up the greenhouse.
"DouDou, this part can be finished today." Li Dahai held a hammer in his hand, checking the various interfaces.
Yuan Doudou nodded and smiled: "Thanks to Brother Li, I may have to pay you your wages a little later, but don't worry, I will pay you every penny."
Li Dahai wiped his forehead with his sleeve and laughed heartily: "Doudou, I already said, let's not talk about money."
Yuan Doudou laughed it off, being polite as she was, but the score still had to be settled.
"DouDou, I really admire you. Your greenhouse is a groundbreaking innovation." Li Dahai is a skilled craftsman with extensive knowledge.
I was amazed when I first saw the drawings Yuan Doudou provided.
Now that construction is complete, this greenhouse with automatic irrigation is the first of its kind in the surrounding villages.
"It's all the wisdom of our predecessors, it has nothing to do with me." Yuan Doudou could only say that she should read more books and travel more, because maybe one day she would travel through time and need to use it.
That evening, Yuan Doudou was busy alone in the greenhouse, where she first planted strawberry seedlings on a plot of land.
Counting the days, when it's time to make a contribution, it will also be time for the strawberry harvest.
"DouDou, I've finally found you." Zhang Aiju pulled back the curtain and walked in.
Yuan Doudou was planting seedlings and covering them with soil when she saw Zhang Aiju come in. She stood up and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Here's the thing, I just went to your house and saw your mother lying on the ground. I asked Qiqiang to go and fetch a doctor."
Yuan Doudou hurriedly walked outside, "What happened? I was fine when I came out."
She suddenly remembered that her mother-in-law had asked Fang Deming questions today, probably because she was worried and anxious.
"I don't know, you should go back and check." Zhang Aiju had a bad feeling.
She felt the same way when Wang was seriously ill last time.
Unexpectedly, Wang was later rescued.
I wonder if Wang's family can pull off another miracle this time.
Yuan Doudou ran all the way and soon arrived home. Wang was lying on the bed, her face ashen.
"Mom, Mom, look at Grandma! What's wrong with her?" Anji cried uncontrollably.
Yuan Doudou held Anji in her arms and gently patted his back.
"The doctor is here." Wang Qiqiang rushed in, followed by the doctor.
The doctor put down his medicine box, sat down by the bed, and took Wang's pulse.
Yuan Doudou stared at him without moving. He was an old man who seemed to have some medical skills.
"Sigh." The doctor put away the pulse pillow, shook his head, and sighed.
"Let's talk in private." Yuan Doudou followed the doctor outside.
"Doctor, please speak frankly." Yuan Doudou tried to calm herself down.
The doctor sighed deeply, utterly helpless: "Prepare for the worst."
Yuan Doudou's heart stopped beating, and her mind went blank.
