55 Mother's house
"Yo, Sister Zhang, why are you still scavenging in this broken ground? Your rich son-in-law can bring a big bag of things to your family, I will help you watch the buffalo, you should go home quickly. ”
Zhang Lan was said by someone to say this, and threw all the yellow leaves found in other people's vegetable fields in front of the buffalo, and wiped the dirty hands with her body at will, before picking up the blue zi: "What you said is true?" Did my poor son-in-law really come to my house with a big bag? ”
Don't blame Zhang Lan, Lu Qiang is notoriously poor, and she, like her sons, looks down on her. She, like several sons, has been shouting for more than ten years to add a poor word to Lu Qiang's name, let her change it, it's a word, difficult!
"Sister Zhang, don't say that people are poor sons-in-law, I have heard for a long time, your son-in-law has made a lot of money this year. Your daughter still wears a gold ring on her hand, tsk, my eyes are shining from afar. Hurry back, I'll show you the buffalo, and you can come and pick it up later. ”
"Okay, then thank you, remember to come to my house for a drink in the evening." This was just a kind word, and the other party responded with a smile. Zhang Lan ran home with a grin, if Lu Qiang really made money, the second son's marriage money would be settled.
As soon as Zhang Yimei was sent home by Lu Qiang, the people who came to her house to borrow things never stopped. This one came to borrow some ginger, and the other one came to borrow some salt, either to find Dad or Mom. Several women who were familiar with Zhang Yimei were envious when they saw the gold ring on her hand, and they praised Zhang Yimei fiercely.
Zhang Yimei has never been so satisfied, she didn't expect that after marrying Lu Qiang for more than ten years, that vanity was finally affirmed by others, which really doesn't feel too good.
When Zhang Lan returned home, she saw such a scene, her daughter's face was flushed, like a young girl. Zhang Lan hasn't seen such a daughter for many years.
"You're alone? What about Lu Qiang? As soon as Zhang Lan entered the door, she was looking for Lu Qiang, but she didn't find anyone, so she saw the three or four bags of things in the house, she opened them one by one and looked at them, and nodded with a smile: "Xiaomei, Lu Qiang really made a lot of money?" ”
In the past few days, Lu Qiang in Chuanlin Ancient Village has made a lot of money everywhere. Lu Qiang, as the son-in-law of Zhang Lan's family, more people in the village came to inquire. There are many people who come to inquire, there are many people who come to gossip, and there are naturally people who come to collect debts.
If you want to ask them, after giving birth to so many sons, especially Zhang Lan's youngest son, the store has been opened in the county seat, so he is also a rich man, how can he still owe foreign debts? There is no way, the second of them has to support the second old, the second is a lame, and the second is not willing to work, every day is to eat, drink, play mahjong, and gamble.
No amount of money is enough for him to lose alone. There is also the third son, who divorced within a few years of marriage and was taken away by the woman with a large sum of money. Most of Zhang Lan's money for the second elder and the second elder was subsidized to the second and third sons.
"Where's Hongjun?" After Zhang Lan asked, she sat next to her daughter, took her hand, and looked at the gold ring carefully: "Xiaomei, is this true?" It's so good-looking, Lu Qiang bought it for you? ”
"Ah Jun rode to Avina, and I asked them to call Ali down by the way. Ashin, I didn't see it, Mom, you go over and tell him, come to the house to eat at noon, Lao Zuo bought a lot of vegetables. As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yimei took off the ring on her hand.
"Mom, it's good-looking, Lao Zuo specially bought it for me from the city. Alas, I didn't expect that this old left would buy these things. Zhang Yimei said with a happy smile on her face, and a taste of victory.
Zhang Lan snatched the ring from her daughter's hand, compared it with her finger, and tried it, but she could only put it on the little finger of her right hand. His face turned dark, and he reluctantly threw the ring to his daughter: "Xiaomei, you didn't answer me just now." Regardless of whether Lu Qiang is making money or not, Horizon is about to get married, how much money do you plan to pay? ”
"What? Ashin is getting married again? This time, you are looking for another out-of-town? Zhang Yimei asked in surprise, her third brother Zhang Hongxin works in Guangdong all year round, and his ex-wife is what he met. I heard that they decided to get married after two years of love, and the two of them were married for less than two years, and the woman ran away with all the money in the family.
Later, many people came to talk to him about the matchmaker, but he was angry and refused on the spot, saying that he didn't like the locals, so he liked the outsiders. However, they are xenophobic here. No way, many people went out to work and brought back their wives, and most of them ran away after a long time.
"Yes, I heard that they are from ethnic minorities in Sichuan, and they don't even have water to drink, and they only take a bath once a month. Not to mention that, how much money do you have? Just from the gold ring on her daughter's hand, Zhang Lan pondered how to let her daughter take the money out of Lu Qiang's hand.
Zhang Yimei is not stupid, her mother has been talking about money since she entered the door. At every turn, he asks Lu Qiang how much money he makes, and at every turn, he asks himself how much money he has.
"Mom, you go cook first, I'll tell you something after dinner." Zhang Yimei didn't accept the money, she has felt sorry for this family since she was a child. She has been married to Lao Zuo for so many years before, no matter how difficult her small family is, as long as her mother's family has something, she will deduct some family money and give it to her parents.
But after having a happy conversation with Lao Zuo Tan last night, Zhang Yimei had her own set of plans.
At eleven o'clock, the four younger brothers and their father also came back, and Zhang Yimei sat at the table, waiting for her mother to arrange all the dishes. She poured them all a glass of liquor, which was given to Lao Zuo by Xie Changsong and secretly brought over by Zhang Yimei last time.
"Eldest sister, you asked the second brother to call me back, what is the big thing to discuss?" Zhang Hongli didn't wait for his father, he first moved his chopsticks and put a piece of meat in his mouth: "Eldest sister, all this dish was bought by the poor brother-in-law?" It seems that this is really developed. ”
Zhang Hongli has been in business for a few years, and for Lu Qiang's poor brother-in-law, he is suddenly so generous, he and his three brothers have the same idea, and they all confirm one thing, that is, this poor brother-in-law, this is going to turn over.
"Ali, this is the three thousand yuan that I borrowed from you before." Zhang Yimei had heard her four younger brothers sneer at Lu Qiang many times before, and she was numb, but today she heard the younger brother say so weirdly, she felt a little harsh.
Zhang Hongli put down the chopsticks after another piece of meat, took the money casually, nodded, and was a little dissatisfied: "Sister, there is no interest?" It is said that brothers settle accounts, how can there be any borrowing money without paying interest? ”
"What do you see me doing? Am I wrong? At the beginning, Lu Qiang was so poor that he ate rice and drank rice soup every day, didn't I generously lend him money? There will be money, can the debt be repaid without interest? I'm a bully, isn't it? Eldest sister, ask your conscience yourself, am I right to say that? Zhang Hongli was a little disdainful of the eyes cast by the three elder brothers-
