Chapter 44: Change (II)
The rich man offered to give Xiao Jiu 1,000 yuan and asked Xiao Jiu to put all the remaining fish back into the water that had not been put away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Jiu refused. In his opinion, the catch of those uncollected fish cages must be worth more than 2,000 yuan.
Outside the lotus pond, Xiao Jiu was still putting away the fish cage with Xiao Shen. Behind them, a soft cell phone rang.
"Hello." Xie Yan'er picked up her phone and listened to the sound on her phone. Half a minute later, Xie Yan'er frowned, her face was a little solemn, and she hung up the phone without saying a word.
Grabbing a big yellow eel into the ground cage, Xiao Jiu looked at Xie Yan'er, whose face was not very good-looking, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Something happened at home, and I have to go back early." Xie Yan'er's face was calm, and she said, "Xiao Jiu, can you send me out at noon?" ”
Xiao Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, put the yellow eel in his hand into the fishing cage, and said, "There is no problem." ”
Half past eleven at noon.
Xiao Jiu's Xiao Shen cooperated and divided the last cage into similar points, and several villagers who watched the excitement were all amazed.
"Why didn't I catch so many yellow eels in the lotus pond of Fang Dafu's house before?"
"Ah Jiu, are you possessed by wealth?"
Xiao Jiu smiled and echoed the villagers, and began to move the ground cages such as yellow eels and loaches to the village road. Xiao Shen also drove a small fish truck with an aerator from home.
Several people worked together to move the fish cage into the tank. Xiao Shen sat in the driver's seat and said to Xiao Jiu: "Brother Jiu, Miss Xie, get in the car." ”
Xiao Jiu nodded, took out a hundred yuan from his wallet, handed it to the children of the relatives that Xiao Shen brought to help, and said, "This is your hard work, you can divide this money." ”
After working for two or three hours, the young man who originally looked weak suddenly seemed to be full of power, took the money from Xiao Jiu's hand with a smile, and thanked Xiao Jiu: "Thank you, Brother Jiu." ”
"You ......" Xiao Shen glared at the heartless relatives and children, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
The second boy ignored Xiao Shen's eyes, jumped around with the money and ran away.
"Ah Shen, this is what they deserve." Xiao Jiu sat in the passenger seat and said, "Drive, let's go into the city." ”
The sound of the car engine sounded, but behind the car, there was a rush of footsteps.
"Ah Jiu! Ah Jiu! A young woman called Xiao Jiu's nickname.
"Third aunt, is there something wrong?" Xiao Jiu looked at the young woman with her hair tied up and asked.
"Something happened to your family, you better go back and take a look." The young woman gasped lightly.
Xiao Jiu's brows furrowed heavily, he glanced back at Xie Yan'er, the hesitation on his face flashed, and said, "Ah Shen, I'll go home and take a look first, you can send Miss Xie back to the Qianshan Lake Holiday Inn now." ”
"Third aunt's family, what happened to Ah Jiu's family?" Xiao Shen asked urgently.
The third aunt opened her mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and the words turned several times in her mouth before saying, "It's not a big deal." ”
"You guys go out first." Xiao Jiu was also extremely curious in his heart, and stepped out of the passenger seat and waved his hand to the back seat of the car: "Yan'er, goodbye." ”
Xie Yan'er stretched her head out of the window slightly, obviously not expecting them to leave at this time, and said, "Ah Jiu, goodbye." ”
Xiao Jiu snorted and hurried to his home in a hurry.
A sad goodbye in the live broadcast room-
"Sister Yan'er, goodbye [manual goodbye]."
"We'll miss you."
"Ninth Master, look back, Sister Xiao Jiu is still looking at you."
Getting farther and farther away from the pickup truck, Xiao Jiu could see Xie Yan'er's gaze staring at his back, which was inexplicably complicated.
With a sigh in his heart, Xiao Jiu switched his perspective from his perspective to his own perspective.
At the door of Xiao Jiu's house.
Before he got close to the door, Xiao Jiu heard a sharp middle-aged woman's voice coming from inside.
"Xiao Jiu,, I know your family has been having a hard time lately, but our life is not easy either. Zhuzi is going to the county to buy a house this year, but we don't have any money in our hands, no matter what, you have to pay back the 30,000 yuan today. ”
The gate was still wide open, and at the doorway, two neighbors were pointing and talking about something in the courtyard.
Xiao Jiu heard the sound coming from inside the door, and had a faint premonition in his heart, said goodbye to the audience, and hurriedly closed the live broadcast.
"Xiao Jiu is back." A neighbor whispered when he saw Xiao Jiu coming back.
Ignoring the two onlookers, Xiao Jiu stepped into the courtyard.
At the entrance of the hall, my mother's face was slightly red, her eyes were full of water, and she looked a little overwhelmed. Across from her, a middle-aged woman was short and stocky like a barrel, wearing a white blouse, with her head held high. Next to her was a dark-skinned man with a very loyal and honest appearance.
"Cousin, cousin." Xiao Jiu had a hint of displeasure on his face, but he still said hello to the middle-aged man and woman.
The couple who came to the door today are Xiao Teng's cousin and cousin, that is, Xiao Jiu's cousin and aunt, who have always had a good relationship with Xiao Jiu's family. Some time ago, when Xiao Jiu was diagnosed with cancer, his cousin also visited the hospital.
"Ah Jiu......" Xiao's mother raised her head, her voice was a little choked, and her eyes that were weathered but still beautiful were flashing with tears at this time.
Xiao Jiu's heart throbbed slightly, and he frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"It turned out to be Ah Jiu." My cousin's voice was still shrill and said, "Our family is going to buy a house in the county as a wedding house, but we don't have enough money on hand, can you pay us back the money you owe to our family first?" ”
"Is it that if we don't pay you back, you won't leave today?" Xiao Jiu's voice suddenly became a little harsh and asked.
Some time ago, when Xiao Jiu was being treated in the hospital, his father once borrowed 30,000 yuan from his cousin for emergency. From the conversation just now, Xiao Jiu could hear that the purpose of his cousin's aunt and cousin's trip was to get back the 30,000 yuan.
"You ......" My cousin looked at Xiao Jiu, who was ruddy and acting vigorously, and she didn't say a word more than a little doubt in her heart.
Didn't you say that Xiao Jiu was very sick now?
"Ah Jiu, we can't help it." The cousin, who was loyal and honest on the outside, shook his head and said, "If we weren't in a hurry to ask for money, we wouldn't have the cheekiness to ask you to pay it back." But ......"
"Is Cousin Zhu really going to the county seat to buy a house?" Xiao Jiu's voice was a little questioning and asked.
The original strong momentum was weakened by three points, and a trace of shame and anger appeared on the overly round face of the cousin, and she was about to speak but was directly interrupted by Xiao Jiu.
"Okay, no matter what, I'll give you back the 30,000 yuan." Xiao Jiu's voice was slightly calm, and he said.
