Chapter 20 Borrowing Money
Jinbao delivered the pomegranate flowers to the door of the inn and went back to the construction site by himself.
Pomegranate Hua walked into the inn, and the shopkeeper saw a country girl with a backpack coming in, and hurriedly came up to stop her: "Girl, are you going to the wrong door?" I'm Yuanxiang Inn, and the room money is not cheap! ”
"I know this is the Yuanxiang Inn." Pomegranate Flower's tone was very light, her eyes were rolling around, and she secretly scolded the shopkeeper for her snobbish eyes.
The shopkeeper has seen a lot of all kinds of characters, listening to the tone of the pomegranate flower, thinking that he has met a person who is not good-looking, and hurriedly smiled: "Forgive me for my clumsiness, I didn't see that the girl is a rough master." I don't know what kind of room the girl wants. ”
Pomegranate didn't bother to talk to the shopkeeper, so she told the shopkeeper directly: "Mr. Zhan, who lives in your place, asked me to come, what kind of guest room you asked him to go." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately gave up, "It turns out that the girl is a guest of Gongzi Zhan, and it is rude." Mr. Zhan had already ordered it to come down, and I had been waiting for the guests to come, but I didn't expect it to be a girl. ”
"Alright, where's my room?" Pomegranate didn't have a good impression of the shopkeeper and was impatient to listen to his ramblings.
"Opposite Mr. Zhan's guest room, I'll let someone take the girl." The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles and his attitude was very respectful.
Don't look at the monk's face and look at the money face, that Zhan Gongzi booked the Tianzihao room that was empty most of the time as soon as he came, and he was the owner properly, how could his guests be lazy.
Pomegranate followed the little two called by the shopkeeper and entered a quiet and elegant courtyard.
Xiao Er led the pomegranate flower to the second floor, opened a room and invited the pomegranate flower in, told the pomegranate flower that there was a mother-in-law to serve him for a while, and then retreated.
Pomegranate put down her burden and looked at the furnishings in the house.
The living room and bedroom of the house are separated, all the furniture is made of sandalwood, and there are two calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which should be a luxury suite.
After a round around the room, Pomegranate was about to sit on the bed to try her comfort when she heard a knock on the door.
I ran to open the door, and there was a sturdy woman in her forties standing outside.
"Girl, I am the mother-in-law of the inn who specializes in serving female guests, my husband's surname is Wang, and the girl can call me Wang's mother-in-law." The mother-in-law introduced herself with a smile.
Mrs. Wang! It's better to call Wang Po directly!
Pomegranate Hua held back a smile and said to Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Wang doesn't sound good to your ears, seeing that you are two years older than my mother, why don't I call you Mrs. Wang?" ”
Mrs. Wang said nonchalantly: "The girl can be called whatever she likes, and the left and right are just a title." ”
He's a straightforward person!
Pomegranate immediately liked this princess.
Mrs. Wang came to ask if the pomegranate rice was brought to the room to eat, or if she went down to eat it by herself.
Pomegranate wanted to think quietly about how to help Qin Niangzi's mother and son, so she said that she would let Mrs. Wang bring the food to the room.
Mrs. Wang should go down.
When the pomegranate flower closed the door, she looked at the other side, but there was no movement, thinking that the Zhan Gongzi should not be there.
Sitting down at the table in the living room, Pomegranate began to think quietly.
Qin Niangzi's current physical condition should be caused by long-term malnutrition and recurrence of stubborn diseases, the first thing is to solve the dietary problem first, and then ask a doctor for treatment.
It's just that no matter what, it costs money, and where does it come from?
The first thing that comes to mind is to borrow, but the next question is who to borrow.
There are only a few people in the town who know them, and after thinking about it, Pomegranate decided to go to Xinghua and his family.
A little later, Mrs. Wang came to deliver the meal.
The food is quite good, three dishes and one soup, with meat and vegetarian.
The portion of the dish is not much, but the pomegranate flower can't be eaten by one person.
After the meal, the pomegranate flower went out of the inn, went to the pastry shop and weighed two catties of hawthorn cake with the only money on his body, and then went to Xu's house.
It was Mrs. Xu who opened the door.
Pomegranate had only met Mrs. Xu twice before, and she didn't know much about her temperament, so she politely called out: "Good mother-in-law, is my sister at home?" ”
Mrs. Xu is chubby and solid, and the meat on her face is piled up when she laughs, "Yo, it's a pomegranate flower, I haven't seen it for half a year, and people have grown taller again." ”
When he spoke, he didn't let go of his body, and his eyes were aimed at the pomegranate hand.
"My mother-in-law has a good body and a good memory, and I have really grown this year." Pomegranate Hua held Mrs. Xu's sentence, and said: "I'll take a look at my sister, is my sister at home?" ”
"Where can the pregnant person go if he is not at home?" Xu Pozi stood aside and let the pomegranate flower in.
There was a smell of pig manure wafting in the courtyard of the Xu family, and a big fat pig with a round head was closed in the pigsty by the courtyard wall.
Xinghua heard the movement, came out of the house, and shouted happily, "Little sister, why are you free today?" ”
When he crossed the threshold, he stepped in a hurry, and Xu Pozi saw it and said with a straight face: "Go slowly, you are only three months old, and the fetus has not yet sat down, what are you doing recklessly?" ”
Xinghua blushed when she heard this, stopped and explained: "Mother, this is not the little sister here, I'm happy!" ”
Mrs. Xu glanced at the pomegranate flower, and put on a smile again, "It's rare for the pomegranate flower to come here, you can take her to your house to talk, I still have something to do here, so I won't accompany me!" ”
"My mother-in-law just go and get busy with you, I'll see my sister leave in a while." Pomegranate felt that Mrs. Xu was not too welcoming to herself, so she first made it clear that she would not stay longer.
"Yo, why did you come and leave? Your sister is thinking about you, stay for one night and then leave! Mrs. Xu smiled and stayed, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
Xinghua didn't notice it, and said to help persuade Pomegranate Flower: "Yes, little sister, how often do you come here, just stay overnight, talk to me and then go back!" I was bored at home every day, and I was so uncomfortable that I died. ”
Pomegranate smiled and said to Xinghua: "Sister, let's go to your house and talk about it." ”
"Whoa." Xinghua took Pomegranate's hand and went to the house together.
Mrs. Xu watched the sisters enter the house, put away her smile, and her face was full of unhappiness.
came to the apricot blossom house and sat down, pomegranate blossom handed the hawthorn cake to the apricot blossom: "Sister, this is the hawthorn cake I bought in the pastry shop, you can taste it." ”
Xinghua took it and asked with a smile: "Little sister, how do you know that I love hawthorn cake?" ”
Pomegranate Hua said seriously: "I will calculate, I will get up this morning and pinch my fingers and calculate it." ”
"Poor." Xinghua glanced at the pomegranate flower, opened the hawthorn cake, took a piece and put it in her mouth, and said that it was delicious, and let the pomegranate flower eat it too.
Pomegranate took a piece in her hand and asked Xinghua: "Sister, why didn't you see your brother-in-law?" ”
Xinghua finished eating the hawthorn cake in her hand, picked up another piece, and replied: "I went with his father to collect pigs in the surrounding villages, and there was only one pig left in the house, and there will be no more after Ming'er sells it." ”
Pomegranate nodded, holding the hawthorn cake and thinking about how to talk to Xinghua about borrowing money.
Xinghua saw that her sister suddenly stopped talking, and her face was also worried, so she thought about it and asked, "Little sister, is there something wrong with you coming today?" ”
"Sister, I have something to tell you." Pomegranate quickly put down the hawthorn cake and talked about borrowing money.
Xinghua thought that the pomegranate flower borrowed money because of a big incident in the family, but after learning that it was for a poor mother and son, she sighed and sighed, and took out her private money and gave it to the pomegranate flower.
The pomegranate flowers were counted, and there were only more than 100 yuan in total.
"Now my mother-in-law is in charge, and your brother-in-law secretly gave me pocket money for this money." Xinghua was a little embarrassed to explain.
Pomegranate put the money into her purse, remembering the situation when Mrs. Xu scolded Xinghua just now, she felt that Xinghua's days did not seem to be as good as she imagined, so she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister, is your mother-in-law not good to you?" ”
Xinghua was surprised: "No, she is very good to me." Knowing that I have a body, I don't let my hands touch the work at home, and I don't lose anything in eating, but I can't eat it. ”
"Then she murdered you just now." Pomegranate pouted dissatisfied.
Xinghua poked Pomegranate's head with her finger and said with a smile: "You, don't think about it." She was nervous about the child in my belly, for fear that her grandson would miss something. ”
"She treats you well, it's all for her grandson." Pomegranate said in her heart.
Xinghua's matter, she is not good at saying anything as a sister, but from Xinghua just said that Xu Pingchang would secretly give her pocket money, it shows that the relationship between the two is quite good.
As long as a man feels sorry for his daughter-in-law, his mother-in-law almost doesn't matter.
After this trip, the pomegranate flower has a rough idea of the situation of the apricot blossom in her mother-in-law's house.
chatted with Xinghua for a while, and told the second sister that she would be in the town recently, and got up to leave.
Xinghua wants to stay, but Pomegranate insists on leaving.
The sisters went out of the room and happened to meet Mrs. Xu.
