Why did Erdan come out at this time?
Because he was playing a game with his brother Dadan.
The two of them started playing after lunch. He lost so much that there was no chance of making back his money. He only had one dollar left, so he found an excuse to quit the game, saying that his new mother had returned.
I didn't expect to run into Su Qinghu as soon as I opened the door, and I didn't expect that the first thing Su Qinghu said when we met was to borrow money.
He opened and closed his mouth again and again, and his original intention to run over was frozen in place by her words.
"How much...how much?" Erdan's voice trembled. "I, I only have one dollar left."
His grandparents had given them pocket money these days, and his new mother had also given them a little before she went on a business trip, enough for an egg as a snack every day. He had originally wanted to save it all, but his brother would always watch him finish the egg before leaving, so he only saved the one dollar and fifty cents given by his grandparents.
I just lost fifty cents...
Su Qinghu stretched out his hand, "One piece is fine, give it to me."
Erdan: “!!!” Really? Just one dollar, is that even remotely worth her attention? Doesn’t she already have hundreds of dollars? Has she spent them all?!
"Mom, my brother has money too!" After Erdan gave the money to Su Qinghu, he couldn't help but want to drag others into the same situation when he thought about how he would become destitute. "He saved all the 1.5 yuan grandpa and grandma gave him, and the 50 cents he just won from me!"
Su Qinghu: "Then ask him to take out the money and treat it as a loan. I will return it to you in a few days."
"Okay!" Erdan responded, and disappeared in front of Su Qinghu with a "whoosh". Then his shouting voice was heard from the yard.
Su Qinghu looked at the uneasy thin man beside him and said, "Wait a moment."
Just as she finished speaking, Dadan came out, walked to her with a stern face, and handed Su Qinghu a one-yuan and two fifty-cent bills.
Adults borrow money from children, saying they are just borrowing to sound nice, but they never pay it back.
But if you don’t want to pay it back, then don’t pay it back. It’s much better than forcing you to hand over the money under duress.
Su Qinghu took the money, took out his own fifty cents, sorted them by size, and handed them to the thin man. "The top fifty cents is your wages, and the bottom three are for your emergency. Pay it back when you have some spare money."
Erdan blinked, then got startled.
The new mother spent all her money until she had only fifty cents left, then borrowed money from them, and then lent it to others?
As for Dadan, his face became expressionless from the moment he saw Su Qinghu take out fifty cents and then clean her bag, to when she lent the money they borrowed to others. Even though Su Qinghu's return made him a little happy, he didn't feel happy at this moment.
"Thank you! Thank you!" the man bowed repeatedly. "I will definitely return the money to you."
Su Qinghu nodded and carried the box into the yard. Before closing the door, she looked at the tears in the man's eyes and said one more word, "When life is difficult, try to hold on. Don't do stupid things or illegal things."
After thinking for a while, Su Qinghu asked, "Can you read?"
"I, I am a rural teacher who just retired this year." The skinny man answered Su Qinghu while suppressing his sobs.
Su Qinghu nodded without much expression on his face. He turned around and looked at Dadan and Erdan behind him, "Can anyone get me a pen and paper?"
Dadan turned around sullenly and went to get paper and pen before Erdan. He gave the paper and pen to Su Qinghu, then frowned at the skinny man, his eyes gradually darkening.
"I'll give you the address of the Red Cross. See if you can get help there." Su Qinghu said as he wrote on the paper.
The man subconsciously asked, "What is the Red Society?"
"The Red Cross was revived at the beginning of the reform and opening up, and it's involved in humanitarian aid." Su Qinghu handed the paper over, "Go over and see if you can apply for aid."
In this era, news is too delayed and publicity is insufficient, so many ordinary people do not know about the relevant social groups and organizations that serve as auxiliary assistants.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Su Qinghu nodded and closed the door.
Turning around, Su Qinghu met Dadan and Erdan's piercing eyes. He took a breath and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Mom, you... have no money?" Erdan asked hesitantly.
Su Qinghu walked into my living room carrying the suitcase, "Are you stupid? Isn't this obvious? Didn't you see me taking out the money just now?"
This was said too confidently, so confidently that even Erdan, who usually talks a lot, couldn't catch it.
Dadan: "Have you taken out the money from the handicraft basket I cheated people with before?"
"I took it out." Su Qinghu confessed before he could ask any more questions, "I took it all out, and I even spent all the money your father left me."
Erdan instantly gasped, his eyes widening. All that money was gone?!
Big Egg: “…”
For some reason, Dadan suddenly remembered the money in his and Erdan's passbooks, and had a bad feeling.
"Not a penny left?" Erdan still couldn't believe it.
"Well, I don't have a penny left." Su Qinghu put the suitcase in the living room, leaned back on the chair, and called Dadan, "Dadan, I'm thirsty."
Then he looked at Erdan and said, "Erdan, can you get me a wet towel?"
The two of them stared at Su Qinghu, a bachelor with a fearless expression, and almost wanted to bang their heads against the wall.
You have no money, yet you are so generous?!
Erdan wanted to rush out, "Then I'll go get our money back!"
"Wait!" Su Qinghu called to Erdan, "Go get me a wet towel first, and then open the box."
