Chapter 101: Borrowing Money
Zhang Guilan didn't like it in her heart, and she didn't show it on her face, and said with a smile, "Jiang Zhi is here, come in." β
"Sister-in-law, I have something to do with you, so let's come out and talk about it." Jiang Zhi's voice was very small, but he was standing at the door, and the two Bai Song in the house naturally heard it.
Bai Song is a big man, so naturally he didn't think much about it.
When it was Zhu Lan, he glanced at the door, although it was only a glance, he also looked at Jiang Zhi from head to bottom, quickly retracted his gaze, and had some consideration in his heart.
Zhang Guilan knew that it was difficult for Jiang Zhi to speak, she must have something to ask for herself, and she was unwilling to agree, and it was not good to refuse in person, so she could only bring the door and stand in the corridor with her to talk.
"What's going on?" Zhang Guilan thought to herself that if Jiang Zhi still talked about using a sewing machine, she had already said that she could come to the house to use it, and there was really no need to make it look like this.
"Sister-in-law, there is a letter from my hometown, my father-in-law is sick, saying that he is hospitalized in the town, and he sent a telegram asking us to send some money to the house, and the day before yesterday opened the branch, there are too many things to use at home this month, and there is no money left in my hand. Sister-in-law, can you borrow some money from my family first? When the army's father spends next month, I will pay you back. Jiang Zhi was afraid that he wouldn't borrow it, so he hurriedly promised, "If you can't believe it, it's okay to write an IOU." I really have no choice, I only know my sister-in-law in this compound. β
Zhang Guilan heard that it was borrowing money, so she was not much surprised, and she was strange in her heart, "The soldier's family has money for urgent matters, and he can advance his salary with the army in advance, your father-in-law is hospitalized, this is a serious matter, the army will not disagree, has Instructor Li told the team?" β
Borrowing money, Zhang Guilan didn't think it was anything. Just looking at Jiang Zhi like this, is it possible to borrow a lot? She didn't have much in her hands either. What's more, I still need to use it to open a store now, and I can't take out much.
Jiang Zhi looked embarrassed. "Sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you, my father-in-law's telegram this time only said that twenty yuan was enough, Jun'er and his father thought I still had it in my hand, let me prepare to come out today, and he would let people mail it away tomorrow. But I went to the city yesterday to buy some more rice, and I only had eight yuan left, so the money was not enough, and I didn't dare to tell Jun'er and his father. I was afraid that he would blame me, so I thought about borrowing fifteen yuan from my sister-in-law first. β
"That's right, that's okay, you wait, I'll get it for you." Fifteen yuan is not a big deal for Zhang Guilan.
Jiang Zhi saw that he borrowed it, and thanked him gratefully, "Sister-in-law, Xie Lu thanked you, otherwise I really don't know what Lu Dao is going to do." In the days after the expenses, the family was busy buying rice and oil, and the family did not have much money left, so I really didn't know where to borrow it. β
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be much money left in the family this month. Lao Luo is gone, and I can't use much rice at home alone, so it's useless. "Even if you can take it out. Zhang Guilan didn't want to show her wealth, so she explained. Then he turned around and went into the house.
Jiang Zhi pursed his lips, thinking to himself that he might not be able to earn much by doing a small business. This time she went to the city to inquire about the price of mung bean cake, but it was a pound of money, and now the Luo family has to have at least two hundred yuan.
But borrowing fifteen dollars is embarrassing.
If this person is not right-hearted, no matter what the other party does, she will think crookedly, when she borrowed money just now, Zhang Guilan didn't even hesitate, and she didn't get it in exchange for Jiang Zhi.
Zhang Guilan actually has money in her pocket, she said that going into the house to get it is just an excuse, she didn't think about lending money to Jiang Zhi, if Jiang Zhi is a good person, she won't say a word, after these few times, Zhang Guilan also saw that for the villain, no matter how you treat her, she won't really thank you, maybe you are watching her jokes.
Zhu Lan saw Zhang Guilan coming in, her face was not as happy as she was at the beginning, and she stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"It's fine." Zhang Guilan lowered her voice, "The other person wants to borrow money from me." β
"Is it credible?" At this time, every family has no money, and if they borrow more than 100 dollars, they will have to pay interest.
"It's okay, I'll tell her right now that I'm going to say no." Zhang Guilan didn't treat Bai Song and his family as outsiders, so she didn't hide it, "I don't have deep friendships, I just live in the opposite door." β
Zhu Lan nodded, "Okay, then you can go." β
Zhang Guilan saw that it was almost over, opened the door and went out again.
looked at Jiang Zhi with an embarrassed face, "Originally, I didn't buy anything, but this time I went to find money, I remembered that I spent a little money in a hotel in the city, and bought some cotton and quilt noodles, and there were more than ten yuan left in my hand, which was not enough for fifteen." Originally, I said that I could also get this money, but you also know that I did some business at the beginning, and I saved some in my hand, and then I went back to my hometown with Lao Luo, and I left some money for my two parents, and I had no money in my hand. What can you do about this? Why don't I keep some and take five dollars first, and then go upstairs and have a look? β
Jiang Zhi was stunned, and blinked in disbelief, "Sister-in-law, there's no γγγ and nothing to do, then there's no need, I'll go to another house to have a look." β
"You look so embarrassed, the first time you asked me to borrow moneyγγγ I γγγ twenty yuan is not a decimal number, otherwise you will tell Xue Jun to let him go to the team to spend a month in advance, and he will not blame you if he knows the truth, after all, it is not you who spend it." Zhang Guilan reminded her.
"Okay, I know what to do, then I won't bother my sister-in-law, there are still guests at home, sister-in-law go back quickly." Jiang Zhi clenched his fists tightly, and forced Zhang Guilan into the house, and his face fell.
It's been so long, the children at home are still sick, Jiang Zhi doesn't have much effort to get angry, biting his lip and entering the house, knowing that Zhang Guilan must be rich, and she is not as good as before, she must have offended her on weekdays, and secretly regretted that she should have been coaxed in the first place.
Upstairs, the Wang family and the Song family don't have to think about where there will be money, Jiang Zhi can only wait for the man to come back at night and tell the truth, Li Xuejun didn't say anything, only said that he knew the way, and the next day he went to the team to advance his salary, and let people help him go into the city and beat him away.
As for Zhang Guilan, she didn't plan to associate with Jiang Zhi anymore, on the day Bai Song and her family came, she made dumplings with bacon and cabbage, and took Bai Song and her son into the city early the next morning and went directly to the store.
The store is cleaned up, only to put things in it, although it is only forty square meters, but it is much better than the house in the town, the front can do business, the back twenty square meters can still live people, on the opposite side of the bed can put a stove for cooking, Zhu Lan liked it at a glance.
In the future, this will be home, Bai Songmian didn't say anything, but people were walking around the house, rubbing their hands from time to time, obviously nervous.
"Brother Bai, you are also familiar with this place, there is a shortage of cooking things at home, my sister-in-law and I will clean it up at home, and I will leave these to you." Zhang Guilan took out ten yuan and stuffed it into his hand, "This money is not mine, and when you earn money, you have to deduct it from the money you earn, don't you want it." β
"Okay, I'll buy it. I haven't been back for a few years, but I still know where to sell these things. Bai Song took the money and left with a smile.
Zhu Lan looked at his man and smiled, sighing, "Over the years, it's the first time I've seen him so happy, although he has been discharged from the army, but his heart has been staying in the army, you didn't see it yesterday, when we were in the compound of the army, he was so excited that he didn't know which leg he took, but then the little soldier standing guard didn't recognize him, and he was quite disappointed, but fortunately he wanted to open it himself." β
Zhu Lan and Bai Song also grew up in a small village, and they got engaged again, and after two years of marriage, Bai Song was discharged from the army.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about it in the future, if you can get busy with something, Brother Bai won't have anything to think about." Zhang Guilan can understand Bai Song's feelings, for a soldier, leaving the army is the biggest regret in their lives, "Sister-in-law, you are also coming to the city for the first time, just so let's go to see if the shelf is ready, I will also take you around, I made the quilt, Zhuo has not bought it yet, let's just pick one together." β
"I don't have to spend that money, I brought all the quilts at home, and I have to bring a sewing machine, the pots in the countryside are different from those in the city, so I didn't bring them, so let's go and do serious things." Zhu Lan speaks brightly and does things neatly.
Zhang Guilan liked her and didn't be polite to her, "Okay, let's go." β
After locking the door, the two of them left directly, and the little mute had already made the drying rack, which was the same as what Zhang Guilan said, and it was all made of wood, and the appearance was polished, and the quality was first-class.
There are at least six shelves to be used in the store, and the little mute has obviously been busy with this these days, and there are ten of them that have been installed, and some that have not been installed, so they will not be less.
The wood is too heavy, and there are some clothes hangers and trouser clips, Zhang Guilan and Zhu Lan can't take it, the little mute also helps, the things are taken to the store, Bai Song also bought the cooking Dong back, and resists a gas, Bai Song installs the stove, Zhang Guilan asks Zhu Lan to buy vegetables and cook, and he and the little mute go to take those unassembled shelves, assemble them in the store and sell them directly in the store, and it just so happens that the little mute can always eat dinner at night.
Zhu Lan didn't do it, "I have a lot of strength, I go to move things with the little dumb, you go to buy vegetables, and I don't know where to buy it." β
Zhang Guilan heard it and felt that it was right, the three of them divided their labor, went to the market Zhang Guilan bought two catties of meat, now the vegetables are missing, and even with this can't be bought, she bought a piece of tofu, first bought ten catties of rice, salt, all kinds of condiments to buy some, look at the things are not much, but it is also very heavy.
The lunch was braised pork, and stewed soybean curd, although there were only two dishes, but the amount was not too large, and a large pot of rice was cooked, and the four people were full of food.
In the afternoon, it was much simpler, including the little mute, four people sat in the store to assemble the shelves, although there was no need to rush, but the workload was large, and the four people were busy until it was getting dark, and there were a few left. (To be continued......)
