Chapter 173: The Girl's Pathos
Lijiapuzi is a small village located next to Sandaogou, and the living conditions of the villagers here used to be much better through Sandaogou Village. The main reason is that the village has at least one gravel road that can be opened to traffic. But in this kind of rural area, the Li family shop can get more land per capita than Sandaogou Village.
Therefore, most of the villagers, like the young people in Sandaogou Village, make a living by working outside the village, and not many actually stay in the village to farm. In addition, there are no other side hustles to make money, and there are only a few families in the village, which seem to have made a lot of money, and the rest of the people in the village are still relatively tight.
Li Lingling is Wu Ting's roommate in high school for three years, and the two can be regarded as classmates from junior high school to high school, when Wu Dao was not at home in the early years. Every time they take a weekend off, they travel almost all the way. This sisterhood is naturally very good.
Now I suddenly heard that the classmates who get along day and night are so young that they have to be wives with a man who is more than ten years older than her and looks very annoying because of their poor family and can't go to college.
This undoubtedly made the kind-hearted Wu Ting start her brother's idea again. At least she knew that 100,000 yuan was an astronomical amount for Li Lingling's family, but for this brother, who had already opened five directly-operated stores in the provincial capital, the daily income was several times that of this figure.
Wu Ting, who usually accompanies Li Lingling, also knows that the situation at this good sister's family is not good, and she almost dropped out of school when she was a freshman in high school. The reason is that Li's father, who works in a nearby stone factory, fainted from overwork and spent a lot of money on the quarry, and was hospitalized with an injured waist.
Now Li Lingling can finish high school, firstly, because her daughter's grades are really good, and secondly, Li Lingling's parents know that if they want to change their children's future, studying and taking the university entrance examination is their best way out.
But now on the one hand, there is a deposit that can immediately pay off the foreign debt and improve the family situation, and on the other hand, there are two other children who are waiting to be fed. Coupled with the current situation of college graduates, every year is not as good as a year. The parents of Li Lingling, who are only in their forties and look older than fifty years old, also chose to remain silent.
Looking at her father's increasingly old face, her almost white hair less than fifty, and her mother who was constantly crying, Li Lingling had long been aware. High school is what she can finish in this life, and no matter how unwilling she is, she is powerless to change the status quo. Especially when the man came, it was the father who was injured and was a creditor who borrowed money from other people.
Just when Li Lingling was tearfully ready to agree to this marriage, to reduce the burden on the family, and also to allow a pair of younger siblings to have a better future than her. Wu Ting grabbed her and said, "Lingling, don't be impulsive, isn't it just 100,000 yuan?" I'll pay it back for you. Didn't we say at school that we were going to go to college together? You can't lie to me, do you? ”
Faced with Wu Ting suddenly breaking out to stop him, the man who looked a little overindulgent said, "Little girl, you should be 100,000 yuan is 10 yuan?" Can you take it out if you say it's given? See, there are so many of these 100,000 yuan? Uncle Li, you were injured the year before last, and for the sake of the villagers, I took out the money I was going to open a store and lent you 50,000 yuan.
It's been two years, and I haven't asked you to pay it back, have I? I really like Lingling, if you give Lingling to me, I don't want you to pay back the 50,000 yuan, the 100,000 yuan will be my deposit. In the future, I will marry Lingling, and I don't want any dowry from your family, this is finally interesting enough, right? ”
For fear that Wu Ting would say something bad, and the man saw Wu Dao standing aside, he seemed to have a little bit of financial resources. After all, when she delivered a book to Li Lingling just now, she also said that she came back by a classmate's brother's hitchhiking. If you can buy a car, if you really want to meddle with the 100,000 yuan, I'm afraid that you may not be able to get it out.
The man once again weighed the 100,000 yuan on the table in a conspicuous manner, which made several creditors present who had been invited by him to be lobbyists a little moved. They all persuaded Li Lingling's father to find such a good son-in-law, and he didn't have to think about agreeing quickly.
Seeing these crowds attacking them, Wu Ting was unhappy, and pulled Li Lingling, who was also crying silently, and said, "Brother, you weren't such a person before. Isn't it just 100,000 yuan? I'll borrow you, and I'll pay you back when I graduate from college, so it's okay!
You see that Lingling is so young, and she marries such an old man, isn't this just a sheep's mouth? If you don't borrow me, I'll call my dad now and he'll definitely support me. ”
Just now, because some circumstances were not clear, the most important thing was that Wu Dao wanted to see the reaction of Li Lingling's parents, and now it seems that the girl's parents are not tempted by the money in front of them. Their silence and entanglement today are largely due to the fact that the people who come to their homes today are creditors who have borrowed money from the injured hospital.
As a countryman, borrowing money is a matter of owe a favor, not to mention that after Li's father was injured recently, the family's income is not as good as a year. In addition, Li's father has to spend money to buy medicine and see a doctor from time to time, and the money he has earned this year, except for the family's expenses and Li's father's medicine expenses, he can't save a few dollars to pay off the bill.
Always owes money to others and does not pay it back, this simple rural couple feels a little uneasy, but just like selling their daughter, marrying their daughter to this older young man in the same village who has a bad reputation from outsiders, they are afraid of delaying their daughter's life. This entanglement of reason and emotion made the couple almost fall into a state of collapse.
Looking at Wu Ting, who really mistakenly thought that he didn't help, and was about to take out his mobile phone to call his father, Wu Dao smiled bitterly: "You dead girl, why are you in a hurry?" If you don't take a good look at the play, how can you know the faces of these people? It's okay, this happened today, and my brother will take care of it for you, okay? ”
Hearing that Wu Dao was willing to help, Li Lingling also looked at Wu Dao in disbelief, as for the villagers who were still lobbying for the benefits of the old man, they also wisely closed their mouths and waited for the further development of the matter.
And the old man saw that he was biting gold halfway, and said angrily: "I said, why are you so ignorant?" There is a saying that 'it is better to demolish a temple than destroy a marriage', haven't you heard it? This is my affair with the Li family, what do you have with an outsider. And can you get that much money? You know, you borrowed this money, with their family's situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back in a lifetime, right? ”
Regarding this old man's refutation, Wu Dao simply ignored it and said, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, hello." I am the son of Wu Dongjia in the inner village, and my sister believes you have seen it before. I wasn't at home a few years ago, and Xiaoting is a girl thanks to your family Lingling to take care of her. If we don't mind, I'll pay you back for these people, and I'll ask you two to work.
My two uncles and I have grown some vegetables, and now the benefits are good, but I am usually a little too busy. If Uncle Li and Aunt Li don't mind, I would like to ask you to help my family grow vegetables, and now I will borrow your money as my salary in advance. And I know a little bit of traditional Chinese medicine, as long as Uncle Li's back injury is regulated, I believe there is still hope for recovery.
When Uncle Li's injuries are healed, I believe that your family's situation will also improve. I also heard Xiaoting say that Lingling's grades are good, as long as she plays at a normal level in this college entrance examination, it shouldn't be a problem to write one by one. I know that with your family's situation, I can't afford to pay for her to go to college.
If you don't object, and Lingling agrees, I can ask the company that contracted my village's vegetable plot to sign a student aid agreement with Lingling. It's that Lingling can be admitted to college this time, so her school company will be covered. After she graduates, she will go to work in the company to repay the student money. As for you growing vegetables for our family, I will give you two 5,000 a month, are you willing? ”
Borrowing money or giving it away for free is undoubtedly an insult to the couple who have endured until now and have not yet agreed to marry their daughter. Therefore, Wu Dao chose the condition that the other party was more willing to accept, that is, to ask them to help grow vegetables. Anyway, now his family and his two uncles' families are really busy when the vegetable field is changing. For the current Wu family, there is no shortage of money.
With the help of two simple rural couples, I believe it will also reduce the burden on their relatives, and it will not make people feel too oppressive of the couple. As for the so-called student aid agreement, it was also popular in the past few years, which will undoubtedly be a benefit to Li Lingling in the future. What's more, Wu Dao didn't think about it at all, and he cared about the money. In doing so, it is more of a gift of respect and decency to this family.
When these words came out, Li Lingling's parents were naturally happy, and they didn't smoke anymore and cried. But seeing that the duck that was about to arrive flew away, the old boy said angrily: "Uncle Li, don't believe this kid's words, just that broken village, do you still need to invite someone to grow a vegetable?" 5,000 yuan a month, you think it's digging for gold? Boy, I'm telling you, if you can't come up with the money, don't make this reason. Get out of there, don't get too late here! ”
The old man's angry accusation made Wu Dao's eyes suddenly tighten: "What are you?" I'm talking to Uncle Li and Aunt Li, what are you screaming next to you? Just your Fu De surname and face, I'm embarrassed to say I like it. I really thought that with a few dollars, I could buy anything. Let me tell you, if you dare to interrupt me talking to Uncle Li and Aunt Li, believe it or not, I will slap you in the face? ”
Listening to Wu Dao's words that were more arrogant than him, the old man was indeed a little stunned when he faced Wu Dao, who was taller than him. But his eyes rolled and he gritted his teeth and said: "Since your Li Xiangyang's daughter Jin Gui doesn't look down on me Li Defu, then you can return the money I borrowed from you now!" I don't want much interest, even the principal and interest to pay me back 60,000 in the past! Give the money now, and we'll pay it off when we get it. If you don't pay today, I'll go to the county and sue you. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Dao magically took out a bundle of ten bundles of brand-new renminbi from a pocket that couldn't hold 100,000 yuan at all. Looking at the RMB on the table, everyone at the scene shut up. Because they know that this old man's idea of beating Li Lingling is really going to be ruined!
