Night~
Shi Tian was tucking in the quilt for the sleeping Shi Dan when Xia Juhua came in.
"Shi Tian, what do you mean? My mother just wants to eat some meat. Do you have to be so loud and offend my mother? It's not like you don't have money."
"Where would I get the money? If I had money, I would have sent Shitou to school long ago."
"You've been doing odd jobs in town for the past six months, and you haven't turned in a single cent. How could you be out of money? Did you spend it on some goblin?"
The more Xia Juhua thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She put her hands on her hips, ready to fight.
"Where did this little devil come from? My family owes so much money that we have to pay it back. The Su family alone borrowed more than 300 yuan from us, and there is also this money that the villagers collected. We have to repay the favor."
"Are you stupid? They have a family that eats public food and don't have to worry about our trivial matters. Yet you come to us so happily. Are you mentally ill?" Xia Juhua said, poking Shi Tian's forehead with a look of disappointment.
"Is that just a small amount? If 320 yuan is just a small amount, you haven't even taken it out. They even helped us borrow a car from the textile factory. These are all favors. Not only are you not grateful, but you also say these things that go against your conscience. Are you trying to shirk your debt?"
Xia Juhua did think so, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Shi Tian didn't care and just stretched out his hand and asked, "I remember there are more than 70 yuan left. Give it to me and I'll make up the difference. I'll pay back the old Su family 100 yuan first and save the rest later."
Xia Juhua pushed Shi Tian's hand away and said, "I don't have any money, but I have my life."
Shi Tian was so angry at Xia Juhua's rogue appearance that he laughed, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Juhua, did you take the money back to your parents' home again?"
Xia Juhua was a little flustered.
"Shi Tian, you don't understand. My mother told me that she's worried I'll spend it recklessly, so she'll save it for me first and give it to me when I need it."
"Ever since you got married, you've been saying the same thing every time the family's money came into your hands.
Last time, when Shidan got into trouble, we asked your mother to take out the money she'd saved over the years for emergency use. What did your mother say? She said she had no money, she'd spent it all. That was just us getting back our own money; we didn't borrow any from her, and yet she acted so arrogantly.
I don't care, your mother is still living in the west room, you must go find her and get the money back immediately, otherwise it will be hard to say whether we can continue to live together."
Xia Juhua thought Shi Tian was just trying to scare her, so she turned around and went into Xia's mother's room.
