"He just blocked a few glasses of wine, and he drank so much? How come everyone deliberately forced the groom to drink?" Jianshu didn't believe it. Adults still have a sense of propriety.
Sure enough, Gu Mingjing shook his head and nodded, "No, but it is. Those bastards saw me blocking the wine and said they would let the groom go and let me drink his share. Then they started to force me to drink. I was a little confused by the wine, so I drank this much."
He gritted his teeth as he spoke, thinking that those bastards must have done it on purpose, just to get him drunk.
Jian Shu: "...Okay, this excuse is acceptable for now, but let's skip this. What about borrowing money?"
It's not that she doesn't allow Gu Mingjing to borrow money. In the past year or so, Gu Mingjing gave her his monthly salary, but he would set aside a portion of it to support the families of his fallen comrades, or lend it to comrades whose families were in financial difficulty.
Jian Shu had no regrets about this expense. After all, she had received a lot of care from her elders because of her parents. She was not a saint, but she was willing to do so when she could. They were worth it!
However, some people are not worth it at all.
The person Gu Mingjing borrowed money from this time was just one person.
Lao Zhou, whose full name is Zhou Yun, is a battalion commander of the neighboring regiment. If Jianshu were to list anyone he dislikes in the staff housing complex, the Zhou family would definitely be on the list.
The men are extremely hypocritical, the women are gossipy and like to take advantage of others, and the children in the family also follow suit, with a lot of bad habits. The whole family is well-known in the residential compound.
Whenever there is a happy event in someone's family, they will come over immediately. Just like this wedding, they are not from the same family and have no close relationship. It is enough for them to attend the wedding in the hall. No one would bring their family to the cafeteria for the banquet, but they can go there with a thick face.
You can go, but you have to bring some gifts. Hey, they said something very nice, like, "I know you're getting married just for fun, not to receive gifts." "Brother, I'm doing this for your own good, I can't let you make any mistakes." They said a lot of high-sounding words, but in essence, they said: "I didn't bring any gifts, I just came here to eat and drink for free."
How could Jianshu know so much if he hadn't been there? Firstly, this was not the first or second time they had done this. Secondly, the day after the wedding, the news spread throughout the family compound, and everyone knew that the Zhou family had gone to "extort money" again.
Besides going to weddings and asking for money, this family has many other ways to take advantage of others. They'll ask for some vegetables from this place today, or "borrow" some oil from that place. They'll say nice things, but they'll never pay it back. Even when you go to their house to ask for it back, they'll look so aggrieved, it's disgusting.
In addition to things, they also like to "borrow" money. At first, they say that they have difficulties at home and cannot make ends meet. At this time, people are simple and honest. Although they don't like their style, they are brothers in the same barracks after all. They have to help each other when they are in trouble, so they lend them money.
It's easy to lend money, but it's hard to get it back. When the day came for repayment, no one showed up, and I was too embarrassed to ask for it, so I just kept waiting. When no one showed up, I went to ask for it, but I was dumbfounded. No one would admit the debt.
They were all so naive that they had no idea there were such people. They didn't ask anyone to write an IOU. In addition, when borrowing the money, Zhou specifically found a remote place and no one else knew about it. There was no witness or evidence, so there was no way to report it to the higher authorities. Evidence was needed. That person could only blame himself for his bad luck.
This happened more than once and the news spread. Although there was no evidence, everyone became suspicious and knew who this person was and refused to lend money to him again.
Seeing that there was no other way, Mr. Zhou changed his mind again. This time he wrote the IOU.
It's the same process again. People think since they're willing to write an IOU, everything should be fine, right? What if something really happens at home and they need money? So they borrow the money.
This time, the money was returned, but the pain of collecting it was heartbreaking and heartbreaking. Whenever I went to ask for the money, they said their family was in financial difficulty and they couldn't make ends meet, so they'd have to give it a while. If I asked again, they'd act like, "You're so cold and heartless! My family's already struggling, are you trying to drive me to death?"
With the cooperation of the man and woman, Zhou's moral kidnapping went smoothly. The woman cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself. The children at home also cried along, making the creditor seem like he had no sympathy and was extremely evil.
If Zhou had been more ruthless, he might have achieved his goal and not had to pay back the money. But this time, he was so angry that he confronted him directly. In the end, after many hardships, he finally got his money back, but he was also exhausted. Perhaps he was disgusted by it, so he soon found a way to transfer, unwilling to stay with such a person.
After this incident, Zhou's reputation was completely ruined, and he could only fool those who had just arrived and were still unaware of the situation.
If Jianshu hadn't been reminded by Wu Xiufang, she would have almost fallen for it. Although she had a way to get the money back, it was very tiring and she might even be disgusted in the process.
Because of this, the Zhou family's daughter-in-law often said bad things about her behind her back, but Jianshu didn't bother to pay attention. After all, the more you pay attention to this kind of person, the more excited she becomes. It's so tiring to be entangled with such a dog-skin plaster, forget about living a peaceful life. Anyway, everyone knows what kind of morals this family has. With that mouth, they curse the world and everyone, and they would even curse a passing dog.
Judging from the behavior of this family, they should have been kicked out long ago, but it must be said that Zhou is extremely hypocritical. He does a great job of putting on a front and doesn't leave any major evidence on the surface. Although his reputation is very bad, he pretends to be fine and acts like a good brother when they get along with each other on weekdays.
Even though my wife often quarreled with others, she would apologize and humbly ask for forgiveness. What else could you do? Even the IOUs were written by his wife. If things got out of hand, I would be the one who knew nothing about it. The next moment, she would pay the debt, and if the money was not enough, she would pay it with something else.
The mistakes were all made by others, and he himself had done nothing wrong. How could he be held accountable? How could anyone be convinced without evidence?
Of course, the leaders weren't stupid enough to let him fool around. Just looking at the fact that he hadn't moved from this position for years, they knew what was going on. It probably wouldn't take more than two years for Zhou to "transfer to a new job."
Therefore, Jianshu usually tries not to contact this family to avoid getting involved in the scandal, which is really not worth it.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhou lived in a tube-shaped building, and the two families were far apart, so they had little interaction on weekdays and lived a peaceful life.
But unexpectedly, Gu Mingjing got into trouble today.
She had warned me many times!
