Chapter 51, Borrowing Money
Greeting the old people and uncles in the village along the way, Li Fu soon returned to his home, Li Fu's family conditions are really poor, his parents are honest farmers, Li Fu's father Li Erlang is known as the second child, but in fact he is the youngest of all the brothers and sisters.
The older generation of people are patriarchal, and the daughters born are all from other people's families, so only men are valued, Li Erlang has 4 sisters and 1 brother, and he is the sixth in the ranks.
Li Fu's grandfather and grandmother had already left before Li Fu was born, so after the two brothers Li Fu and Li Xing were born, Li Fu's parents had no way to throw their children to their grandparents like other families, and went out to work to make money, so they could only stay at home and farm.
Farming at home all year round is to be able to sell millet to make some income, here is a hilly area, every family's field is so little, plus for Li Fu and Li Xing brothers to study, it is conceivable that this day is very poor.
If it weren't for the fact that in the following years, there were fewer and fewer people farming in the village, and it would have been a big problem to plant other people's land, and even for the Li Fu brothers to study.
Li Fu's parents have always wanted to save money to build a new house, and they have saved a little bit in their hands over the years, but seeing that Li Fu is about to graduate from college and is about to face the major event of marriage, the matter of starting a new house can only be shelved indefinitely.
"Mom, I'm back."
Before Li Furen entered the door, he had already smelled the fragrance of his mother Liu Shuixiu's stir-fried vegetables, which was his favorite dish.
"I'm back."
Hearing his son's voice, Liu Shuixiu walked out of the kitchen and looked at Li Fu in front of him, with a smile on his face.
"Where's Dad?"
Li Fu took a turn in his house, in fact, it was just two houses, but although there were some leaks, they were neatly and cleanly taken care of by Liu Shuixiu, full of the warmth of home.
"Don't mention it, hasn't your dad been urging you to come back lately? He, it's really a wretch, now, he's already in a hurry, and it is estimated that now, most of them are entangled with those relatives in our family. ”
Speaking of Li Fu's father, Li Erlang, Liu Shui was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere, and his voice became louder when he stir-fried.
"What's going on? What's going on in a hurry? ”
Li Fu doesn't know why, now Li Fu is also a rich man, and his younger brother Li Xing is very promising to be admitted to college, so what can make his father anxious.
"What do our relatives and father have to deal with?"
Speaking of these relatives in his family, Li Fu felt even more strange, although Li Fu's family was poor, he didn't borrow money from them, and his ancestors didn't have any treasures worth fighting for, and Li Fu's father was the kind of honest farmer, what was worth entangling about.
"Alas, it's not your father's fault for this, it's honest."
The more Liu Shuixiu talked about it, the more angry he became, he simply didn't even copy the dishes, and tears fell from his eyes when he said and said, thinking about following Li Erlang in this life, he didn't want to eat well, nor did he want to live well or wear well, and he worked hard like a cow and horse all his life, and he survived all the hard days, but Li Fu's father was still very wretched, and tears fell out.
"Mom, it's okay, it's okay, I have a son."
Li Fu saw his mother shed tears and hurried over to comfort him.
"Brother, here's the thing, didn't you send 5 million to your family, our family was already preparing a new house last month, but my dad actually told the matter of 5 million, and now it will be a hornet's nest, and our relatives have come to our house one by one to borrow money."
Li Xing, who was on the side, closed his mouth and began to tell the cause of the incident.
"Your second aunt's family is so rich that they came to us to borrow money, they have several houses in the county, and their son drives a car worth hundreds of thousands, so he is embarrassed to borrow money from us, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he says that he wants to borrow 1 million."
"And your third aunt's family, in order to raise tuition for you, I couldn't borrow 500 yuan from their family, and now I even have the cheekiness to borrow money from our family, saying that I want to buy a car for their son to get married, and I want to borrow 500,000 yuan, saying that I want to buy a BMW."
"And your uncle's family, when your father was bullied, your uncle didn't ask, but now when he borrows money, he will say anything about brotherhood, and it will be 2 million as soon as he opens his mouth."
Speaking of this, Liu Shuixiu immediately said loudly, one by one, and tears fell even more uncontrollably.
"Borrow money?"
Li Fu frowned instantly, he didn't expect it to be such a thing, almost every family in the countryside has many relatives, seven aunts and eight aunts, etc., it really can't be calculated.
"What's more, those distant relatives who have never been in contact with each other before, have come to our house since you appeared on the TV station, and almost all of them have borrowed money from our family under various pretexts, and they all treat our family as if they were fat, for fear that they will fall behind others and will not be able to get a piece."
Li Xing on the side was also sad when he said this, and he looked very unhappy, after he went home, all kinds of relatives came to the door almost every day, many of whom had never known each other before, and they had no contacts.
"Dad lent all the money?"
Li Fu frowned after hearing this, what kind of character his father Li Erlang is, Li Fu couldn't be clearer, it sounds like the kind of honest and honest person, he doesn't know how to refuse people at all, and to put it ugly, it's like what Li Fu's mother Liu Shuixiu said.
"If I hadn't hidden the passbook, your father would have really lent out the 5 million you gave, and it was really the top, are those relatives people who are short of money? Say a word about sibling love, your dad doesn't know how to speak in an instant, and he can say whatever others say. ”
"Your dad actually nodded and agreed to borrow money, do you know how much those people have to borrow one by one?"
"Your eldest aunt's family said they wanted to borrow 2 million, the second aunt's family said they wanted to borrow 5 million, and the third aunt's family said they wanted to borrow 4 million...... One is more ruthless than the other, and the total amount of money that those people want to borrow now has reached tens of millions. ”
"And now they are all dissatisfied, the eldest aunt's family feels that they are less, and they want to borrow more from your father, the second aunt's family also feels that they are less, and your uncle's family is even more, all the relatives are not satisfied, and everyone is afraid that they will get something less, and now they are pulling your father every day to make your father promise to borrow money, and I don't know how much money I have promised to lend now."
"Ahem!"
The more Liu Shuixiu spoke, the more angry he became, he coughed, the tears on his face kept flowing, seeing that his son was promising, and the hard life of a lifetime was coming to an end, and he could live a good life for a few days, but Li Fu's father couldn't even say no.
After understanding the whole story, Li Fu has a bottom in his heart, Li Fu doesn't feel strange about this kind of thing at all, with his father's character, it will really be like this, someone has never asked Li Fu's father to help with things, help and the like will not refuse, as for borrowing money, Li Fu's family used to be poor and clanged, so no one borrowed money, but now it's good, and all of a sudden they all flocked to it.
"Mom, I can't be angry, and I can't shed any tears, Dad is just too soft-hearted, didn't he lend out this money."
Li Fu tried to comfort his mother, but a bad thing even made his mother shed tears, and his father was really speechless.
"That is, what is there to cry about, relatives should help each other, but borrowing money is not a matter of helping the poor, not to mention that they are not poor, and they are not really short of money, but they just feel that my brother is developed and wants to take advantage of our family, and they keep saying that they want to borrow money, and if they really lend it, who will pay it back."
"Now the money is still in my brother's hands, these relatives are already arguing there, everyone says how to help and how to help our family before, so how much money should be borrowed, how much, typical meat is still in the sky, and the following is already quarreling over how to eat."
Li Xing also followed and said, there has not been a day of stability during the time he went home, and someone came to look for him every day, and he mentioned the love of the year and the like, and then the lion opened his mouth to borrow money.
"Mom, don't be angry, what's angry, the money is with your son, they don't want to borrow a penny, back then, our family borrowed some money from relatives, and only the little aunt's family and the uncle's family helped, and everyone else was an iron rooster, and they didn't pull out a dime, and now they still want to borrow money, it's really embarrassing to speak."
Li Fu smiled and continued to comfort his mother, in fact, this matter is quite complicated, in the countryside, there are too many trivial things between relatives and neighbors, and sometimes they will quarrel every day if they are not handled well, and they will become enemies from now on, and they will never get along with each other.
It's actually very simple, as long as Li Fu's father is a little harder and knows how to refuse, the already simple thing won't become so annoying, and these relatives and friends don't really need to borrow money to save the emergency, just refuse neatly.
As for what they say this and that, there is no need to pay attention to it at all, like Li Fusan's aunt's family said that they want to borrow money to buy a BMW to get married, this is even more nonsense, they won't even find an excuse, it is obvious that they have borrowed but not returned, and they came to rob.
"Son, you must not be like your father, otherwise even if they are worth hundreds of millions, they will not be able to satisfy their growing appetite, and now they are all lions with big mouths, and they are all afraid of being less than people."
Hearing Li Fu's words, Liu Shuixiu also wiped away her tears and couldn't help but tell Li Fu.
"Don't worry!"
