Chapter 47 Just Borrow One Hundred



The farce that ended so abruptly made Su Qing lose his enthusiasm for watching the show.

So he devoted himself to the education of his children.

The children cherish the hard-won learning opportunity very much, and preview, review and consolidate every day according to Su Qing's requirements.

In just half a month, I have finished the first volume of the first grade textbook.

Even two-year-old San Ya, who couldn't write, knew the texts she had to recite by heart.

Su Che and Wen Li saw this and took it to heart, so they worked even harder and kept everything in order at home and outside.

The black market business is getting bigger and bigger. A few days ago, a big deal was signed with the chef of a state-owned restaurant.

On this day, Su Qing taught a few children as usual.

"Okay, okay, you have studied for three hours today, go out and relax." Su Qing was tidying up the small blackboard he made.

"Aunt, can you teach us for a while longer?" Su Qianshan looked at Su Qing sincerely.

"Mom, please teach me for a while longer. The sun hasn't set yet and it's very hot to go out and play."

"That's right, Mom, don't think about playing all the time. We still have a pile of books, and we've only just started studying the first one."

"Yes, if we learn more, we will have a better chance of skipping a grade at the beginning of the semester. If we skip a year of study, we can pay one year less in tuition. It's such a good deal."

Su Qing cried out in his heart: Children, this is not how you calculate whether it is cost-effective or not.

Can you please stop the internal competition? It's all affecting her.

Knock knock knock~

"Is my aunt at home?"

"There's a knock on the door. You can study on your own first. If you don't understand something, listen carefully in class tomorrow." Su Qing fled from the study.

The person who came was Li Xiumei, carrying a small basket with a handful of chicory in it.

"Aunt, I just went to the south slope to pick some chicory. It's very fresh, so I thought I'd bring it over for you to try."

Su Qing raised an eyebrow, "Who are you? Who is your aunt?"

"I am He Dong's new daughter-in-law. According to seniority, it is only natural for me to call you aunt."

"Oh, then go back and find out about what happened between Ho Tung and me and the old Ho family. I can't bear the call of aunt, and it makes me feel sick. The door is right there, please come in."

Li Xiumei didn't say anything, put the chicory at the door and left.

Then it went on for two days, three days, four days... a whole week.

Li Xiumei delivered wild vegetables to the Su family unremittingly, just like punching in and out at get off work.

Every time he put it down and left, he didn't care whether Su Qing and the others really wanted it.

When Su Qing threw it back, she acted as if she was so weak that she would faint at any moment.

Su Qing had no other choice. She couldn't possibly attack a pregnant woman. Her sharp tongue didn't mean she had a vicious heart.

If something goes wrong, I won’t be able to clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River.

"Auntie, auntie, are you there?" Li Xiumei stood at the door and looked into the yard. "Brother Dong, I don't see anyone in the yard."

Su Qing had just coaxed Si Ya to sleep when she was awakened by the banging on the door. Si Ya pouted and started crying loudly.

Su Qing cursed in his heart. Judging from the posture of these two people, they would not give up until someone was called out.

"What are you doing? Just tell me if you have something to say." Su Qing's tone was very impatient.

But Li Xiumei still smiled and said, "Aunt, it's nothing. I just went out for a walk and passed by your house, so I came in to say hello."

Su Qing rolled his eyes. "Passing by?" "What's the matter? Are you going for a walk on Dahei Mountain?" "My house is the last one at the end of the village. You call it passing by? Just say you're coming to my house."

"Okay then, I've already said hello, so go back." After saying that, Su Qing pretended to close the door.

"Wait, Auntie, actually, Dong Ge and I did come here today for something." Li Xiumei looked embarrassed. "Auntie, I want to borrow some money from you. It's not much, just a hundred."

Su Qing looked at the person in front of him with a look of surprise, "One hundred? Not enough? Go ask the people in our water village and see if anyone can afford to pay one hundred yuan, then go and borrow it from them."

"Please, I just want a place to live with Brother Dong. You don't know how hard it was for me to live in Lao He's house.

I was taking care of my pregnancy, so I couldn't help with any housework or outside the house. Brother Dong felt sorry for me and didn't let me get involved, but my mother-in-law thought I was being lazy on purpose and was always unhappy with me.

And my brother-in-law is ten years old, and he lives with me and my wife. What kind of thing is this? Plus, I have to take He Min to bed five days out of seven. I can’t stand a baby who is not even a month old crying all night.

Our eldest aunt is the most promising in the He family. Please, lend me some money."

Su Qing chuckled, "You probably don't know, I can't even scrape together enough money to buy this house, so where would I get the spare money to give you?"

"Auntie, you're joking. Look at Daya and her sisters. Their faces are so white and tender, and they change their clothes every day. Auntie must have left some."

Ho Tung stood aside and said nothing the whole time.

"That's because my brother and sister-in-law love me and help me raise the children. Otherwise, with the few work points I earn, I can't even support myself."

Li Xiumei looked like she would bang her head against the wall if Su Qing didn't agree to her request.

Several children came out when they heard the noise.

"Who is this aunt? What happened? Did you get her pregnant and she came to you to settle the score?" Su Qianfan spoke in a shocking manner.

Su Qing was speechless. He wondered if this annoying nephew could speak.

"You are silly. Your aunt is a girl. What can you do? If you don't know how to speak, don't speak." Su Qianshan patted his brother's head, wanting to see if there was paste inside.

"I know who she is. She is He Dong's new daughter-in-law." San Ya often went for walks with He's mother and listened to gossip, so she naturally knew who Li Xiumei was.
