Chapter Ninety-Seven: I'm also very poor
10-9
"Look at what the second aunt said. [Full text reading. Where did I get rich? Now I'm very poor. I want to borrow money. Besides. You look at your current state. Where are the poor? Look at what you're wearing. I guess I made a fortune stealingly somewhere. Autumn Colors teased with a smile.
Don't blame Autumn Colors for saying that. It's really that the current Zhang family is dressed well, and she is a newlywed woman. Don't talk about wearing red and green. His face was powdered, his lips were red, and his eyebrows were drawn. The bun is filled with a bright lacquered gold hairpin. Can you imagine the ridiculousness of a man in gold and silver borrowing money from a man in a coarse cloth jacket?
Zhang choked. I didn't expect Qiu Li to reject herself so directly. After a pause, he continued to speak: "Look at what you said the eldest niece." Where did I steal to get rich. I didn't send these to my mother's family when I got married. If you don't wear it again. I don't even know whose pockets I went into. You are the only one who makes a fortune by stealing. said that he had no money, but quietly bought five acres of land, and now he has started to build a house again. Can't you help with the two? ”
"I think the second aunt is now glorious. Refreshed look, where do you need me to help me? Autumn asked with a smile.
"The second aunt is looking good now. In fact, he was also scolded all day long. It's not going to be easy. Your mother knows. Now the second aunt also wants to learn from you to earn some private money on your own. The number of people in the province falls all day long. I don't know if you can help my second aunt with this. ”
"Didn't you borrow money from your family and neighbors to run a boat? I should earn it back. Didn't your brother's friend give you some dividends? There's that money. Wouldn't it be better to use it for business and make private money? Why do you want to borrow it? ”
Zhang didn't expect Qiu Shi to mention the money used for loans. I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I fell silent.
From the moment the Zhang family entered the house, the Wu family watched the two of them, you and I spoke one by one. I can't put it in my mouth at all. Now there's finally a gap. She said, "That's right." I heard my mother mention the money lent out to make profits a few days ago. It's time to come back. ”
Zhang was a little uncomfortable. whispered. "Not yet." He raised his head again and smiled at the autumn color: "The eldest nephew." The money in the second aunt's hand is really incompatible. Otherwise, the second aunt wouldn't have opened her mouth to borrow from you. You see, you can help. Everyone is a family. Why make it so unpleasant? The second aunt can earn more silver and save a dowry for your sister Hongyu. ”
As soon as I heard about saving a dowry for Hongyu. Wu relented a little. "Her second aunt. How much are you going to borrow? ”
Zhang's eyes lit up. The heart said that Brother Bei gave me an idea to start with Ding Dafu and his wife. That's right. "Sister-in-law, I want my brother's friend to bring back a batch of rouge gouache from the south to sell. Of course, the more money, the better. If you really can't get it. Well, three, four, two, two, three, two. It's all right. ”
"Ahh Three taels of silver. Wu's mouth opened wide and his face was full of horror. Zhi Wu said: "Your eldest brother and I don't have so much money." ”
Zhang smiled and said. "Sister-in-law just has this heart. Take as much as you can. It's really not enough, isn't there a big niece? ”
Autumn colors hurriedly waved their hands. "Second aunt, don't point at me. I'm really poor now. The head of the Huang village still owes six taels of silver. If you don't believe me, go and ask for yourself. Second aunt. If you have any money, you might as well lend me some money first. I'll lend you back when I'm relieved. ”
Zhang didn't expect that Autumn would cry with him. I was speechless for a while. Later, he deliberately pulled his face and said, "Auntie, you can't see your second aunt like this, okay?" Even if you don't want to help your second aunt, you have to think about Hongyu. Ruby is fourteen years old this year. It's about to talk about the in-laws. If you don't have any family background, you won't let your in-laws bully you. Haven't you always loved Ruby? Why don't you even help with this little help? ”
"Second aunt. It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I really don't have the ability. You can't let me lend you all the hundreds of dollars I owe to others. Again. Hongyu is fourteen years old this year, and Sanya is also fourteen years old. Speaking of which, my mother is about to give birth. I need money too. ”
Zhang's saw that the autumn color was not only his own. also stopped Wu from lending money to herself. couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and really sank his face. He got up and said, "Okay." Since your mother and daughter are so unkind. Don't come to me if you ask for me in the future. As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the east wing.
"Her second aunt." Wu shouted twice. But Zhang didn't look back. I can't help but complain a little about the autumn colors. "Big girl, you're too chilling. Even if you borrow a few hundred from him, you can do it. Otherwise, I'll lend her the money first. ”
"Don't borrow her." Autumn color hurriedly stopped.
"Big girl. It's all a family, and you can't do that. Wu was a little angry. The autumn colors are too unsatisfactory.
"Mother. I'm not cold-blooded. It's really my second aunt who is calculating our family's money. ”
Wu glanced at the autumn color. "Don't be so reasonable. It's all a family, how can they calculate or not. It's not like she borrowed it and didn't pay it back. ”
"I don't know if she hasn't paid it back. But I know he's not going to buy or sell the money. She was borrowed for someone else. ”
"How do you know?" Wu asked strangely.
"What I saw." So Qiu Se picked up the scene he saw in the restaurant on Ronghua Street. "A man told my second aunt to ask her to borrow money from me. My second aunt said that she was afraid that she would not be able to borrow it. So the man came up with the idea to let my second aunt take care of you to borrow it. ”
Wu was very surprised, but still a little unconvinced. said: "Maybe your second aunt is discussing with her mother's brother about running a boat to borrow money." It doesn't have to be calculating us. ”
Qiu Se sneered: "What mother's brother. . . Can the mother's brothers still hug each other if they are closer? ”
"Ahh Then she is not ......" Wu swallowed back the second half of the sentence 'brought a green hat to your second uncle'. The straightened body in an instant slowly relaxed. He asked in disbelief, "Big girl." You've got it. ”
"Mother. I don't know for sure. Still can't hear me? They mentioned my second uncle and my name. ”
"This. How so. Do I want to tell your second uncle? Wu was a little undecided.
"Mother. Didn't my fourth aunt say it before? In the end, it didn't work. Now you've just heard about it and you have no evidence. What is she doing? If my second uncle is really angry. Something happened to our family, and we can't afford to take this responsibility. ”
"Yes. yes. Wu nodded. Psychologically, there is still some hesitation.
"Anyway, mother, you remember. Don't lend her money. "Autumn Colors has said a few more words." Come on. Mother. It's time for me to go back, too. I'm going to make pickles. ”
"Big girl. You can take these strings of money back. Used to build a house. Or I always owe you money, and I feel uncomfortable. Wu took out the money hidden under the quilt and pushed it to Qiuse.
"Mother. You'd better keep it. I'm really not short of that money right now. And you have to think about how many chances there are in the future after you pay back the money. You can wait until next year to help me take care of those acres of land. ”
"Okay then." Wu put the money back and said, "If you don't have enough money, just tell me." ”。
Autumn colors came out of Ding's house and went to the grocery store to buy some spices. Then she went back to the teahouse intending to continue making her pickles. But I didn't want Qing Niang to call her over.
"Qingniang, you are looking for me...... What's going on. Qiu Se looked at the corner of her eyes and asked in surprise.
"It's fine." Qing Niang rubbed the corners of her eyes and said, "Look at this." It's quite touching. As she spoke, she handed a thin booklet to Autumn Color.
"It's ......," Autumn Colors took and opened it to take a look. Stood up in surprise. Quickly flip through the booklet in your hand from beginning to end. "Qing Niang. Where did you get that? ”
"Qiu Niang, you just see that you are too fast. I've been watching it for two whole days. Qing Niangcheng's eyes widened.
"I just took a cursory look. Qing Niang. Where the hell did you get this book? Autumn asked again. Bow your head and turn the book over. I saw that there were four words written on the cover, "Lianruo Gongzi".
"Lotus Princess." Autumn looked at these words. I was a little excited and expectant. It shouldn't have spread so quickly?
"yes. This Lianruo son is really talented. The book "Agarwood Saves the Mother" is really wonderful. The mother said with great interest: "I went to buy rouge the day before yesterday and saw two women competing to buy this book. I bought it at a high price out of curiosity. It's just a pity that this story is only half written. I don't know when I'll be able to see the second half. ”
Autumn looked at her stunned for a while before asking. "You love reading this book."
"I like it. Don't you like such an interesting story. I told the owner of the rouge shop that I was okay. There was a half. Be sure to keep it for me. No matter how much money it costs, I'm going to buy it. After Qing Niang swore an oath, there were some more. said with a wistful face: "I don't know what that Lianruo son looks like." Well. To be able to write such a beautiful and touching story must be a very talented scholar. It must be full of economy and handsome as a lotus. And he must be very filial......"
The autumn colors couldn't help but interrupt Qing Niang's longing. "If you like to read this book. Don't spend money on the bottom half of it. I'll bring it back to you. ”
"Forget it. Aren't you going to build a house with money now? And you don't look like someone who can spend that kind of spare money. Could it be ......" Qing Niang sat up from the recliner in surprise. "You wrote this book."
Autumn Colors shook her head. "I didn't write it." Then he smiled mischievously. "But yes, I said it."
"Ahh It's true. Why didn't you tell me? Qing Niang couldn't help but ask again. What about Lianruo Gongzi. Who is he. It can't be you. ”
"It's not. I'm not that good at writing. It's Jia Xiucai. ”
"I mean. His sentence 'Don't ask for immortals, don't ask the common people.' I wish to be filial to my mother's knees,' not like you can say it. He said. Qing Niang couldn't help but get up again and pinched her autumn cheeks. "Say it quickly. What happened later. Agarwood didn't save his mother. Did those immortals in Heavenly Court spare their mother and son? ”
"Hey. Ay. Don't pinch, don't pinch. I said I can't do it yet. "Autumn color rubbed her pinched face." Of course, Agarwood rescued his mother in the end. ”
Qing Niang was still waiting there with wide eyes. only to find that the autumn colors are no longer spoken. I couldn't help urging: "Hey." You're going to talk about it. ”
The autumn colors rushed at her. "My Miss Qingniang. I really don't have the literary brilliance of Lian Ruogongzi. If you want to see something more exciting, you should wait for the next part. ”
"You. You're mad at me. Qing Niang pointed her hand on the forehead of the autumn color. Angry for a while, he laughed again. "I said Qiu Niang. When did you become so familiar with that Jia Xiucai? We can all write scripts together. Isn't it time for you to go one step further? I'll tell you. Lianruo Gongzi is now very famous. You have to hurry. ”
