There are some stern questions in these words, if it is changed to an uncertain heart, I am afraid that I will have to compromise under the obscenity of this woman, but Chi Yue did not change her face and made up her mind to ask for this paper IOU.

She said to Chi Xuemei kindly: "Aunt, it's not that I can't trust you, but these twenty taels of silver are indeed a lot of money for us now, and our family of five still expects me to make money to support our family, where can I say that if I lend it to others, I will lend it to others?" Otherwise, you will call my mother and ask her face to face about the situation in our family, is it as generous as you say? It's just on the surface, we built a house and started a workshop, but no one knows the inner suffering, which doesn't need money to pay wages to workers and pay rent? The rest of the profits will be enough for us to eat and drink. It's just that we remember that you are our relatives and uncle, so we have to tighten our belts to live, and we have to squeeze some out of our teeth to lend you something. ”

This series of words of bitter water was like a basin of cold water poured onto Chi Xuemei's head.

Could it be that Chi Yue really doesn't have a lot of money in his hand?

After all, she was shy and begging, and Chi Xuemei was embarrassed to go to the Zhou family to force Chi Yue to dispel this idea, wouldn't it offend Chi Yue? Probably borrowing money is a waste.

She rolled her eyes, smiled at Chi Yue and said, "Chi Yue, I will discuss this matter with your uncle, if he is willing to write, I will ask him to write it to you immediately, how about it?" ”

Chi Yue nodded and went with her.

After Chi Xuemei went out, only Chi Yue and Jia were left here, as well as the little things.

Seeing that the little thing was asleep again, Jia Shi was sitting, looking at himself thoughtfully, Chi Yue was not cold, smiling and noisy, "Tomorrow will be the confinement, sister-in-law feels better?" ”

Jia Shi smiled at Chi Yue as he did with the others who came to visit: "It's much better, it's not a problem to come and work tomorrow." ”

"That's good." Chi Yue bowed her head, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Since my sister-in-law already has two girls, shouldn't my eldest brother want my sister-in-law to continue to give birth?" ”

At this time, not only was the patriarchal culture prevailing in the countryside, but even the provincial capital, the capital, and all parts of Kyushu were proud to have men in their families.

Thinking that the Zhou family also gave birth to Chi Xin and Chiyue's two female babies, Grandma Chi was stunned and forced them to continue to give birth, and only after giving birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses did they give up.

Seeing Jia's contemptuous attitude towards Jia's family, Jia's family was not welcomed at home, one of the reasons was that he only gave birth to two girls.

Jia Shi sighed, "Horizontal girls are not treated in this family, and your in-laws and your eldest brother naturally want me to continue to give birth to a boy." ”

Between the words, it was quite helpless.

Chi Yue sighed in her heart, born at this time, and she is a woman, does she deserve to bear these involuntary bodies?

I don't want to give birth, but I am forced by the pressure of my in-laws and husband to waste all my youth on giving birth to children, as well as firewood, rice, oil and salt, and ordinary trivial affairs.

If it were her, she would never waste her life like this, and let these people who don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade be squeezed at will!

But these words, in the face of Jia Shi who saw her for the first time, she didn't dare to say it. I also know that a woman like Jia is deeply educated by "The Female Ring", and she can't accept her "bold" bizarre theories for a while, so it's better not to scare her.

"Sister-in-law, it's not easy for you." Chi Yue sighed from the bottom of her heart.

Jia's self-birth and raising this girl baby is the first time she has heard people feel so sorry for her, and for a while, the bottom of her ice-like heart is like a warm sun shining in, and it begins to melt gradually.

Chi Yue suddenly took out a red embroidered purse from her arms and stuffed it to Jia's family, "Sister-in-law, this is for the little niece, you can keep it." ”

"That's embarrassing." Jia Shi said politely and put the heavy purse under the pillow.

The money is not her own, but her mother-in-law will come to check the accounts later, and all of it is in her pocket because she doesn't care much about how much money she has in it.

However, if there is one child missing, she will not be able to eat and walk around, so she will wait for Chi Yue to leave later, and then she will count the silver coins in miles, and the accounts that she does not have are right.

However, weighing this purse, I think that Chi Yue gave a lot of money, more than the relatives on Cui Heng's side, who were closest to them, and half more.

"Sister Yue'er is really generous." Jia Shi said with a smile.

Chi Yueyun said lightly: "I like this little girl very much, she is so cute." When you are out of confinement, buy her two more clothes to wear, and make up for yourself. ”

Although this money will be used by her mother-in-law for her own pleasure, it seems that the Jia family is going to live up to Chi Yue's good intentions. But Chi Yue's words flowed through Jia's chest like a warm current, and they washed away her defenses that were as strong as a turtle's shell.

Such thoughtful words are undoubtedly a relief in the heart of Jia, who has been neglected for a long time.

"Sister Yue'er, I have a few words I want to say to you." After a pause, Jia Shi suddenly opened his mouth.

"What words? But it doesn't hurt for you to say it. Chi Yue didn't care.

Jia Shi wanted to speak and stopped, as if he was hesitating something, and seemed to be condensing a trace of courage, trying to make himself speak.

"Sister Yue'er, my mother-in-law said that my family died because of the prevalence of swine fever, five old sows died, and a group of cubs, in fact, ......"

"Chi Yue, what did my aunt bring you?" As the door creaked open, Chi Xuemei walked in in a hurry.

Jia Shi was suddenly shocked, immediately stopped talking, and hurriedly took care of the child.

Chi Xuemei didn't notice her at all, she smiled and handed a note to Chi Yue, "Your uncle knew that you wanted him to write an IOU, so he wrote it without saying a word, and signed and drew a pledge, can you take a look?" ”

Chi Yue took it, but saw that it was written: On the 20th day of the seventh month of the tenth year of Emperor Yan, Cui Geng borrowed 20 taels of silver from Chi Yue, and the one-year period must be paid off. ”

Chi Yue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and unexpectedly, she returned the IOU to Chi Xuemei, her face was slightly cold, "Aunt, my uncle is also a cultural person who has studied in the academy for a few years, he has been out for so many years, and he has been doing business for so long, he must have seen someone who wrote an IOU, why did he make such a big mistake in the meantime?" ”

Chi Xuemei was very puzzled, read the IOU horizontally and vertically, read it several times over and over again, but couldn't read any typos, so she had to ask strangely: "Chi Yue, although I don't know many words, but I still know these words, I don't think there is anything wrong with this?" You can't be blind, right? ”

Chi Yue saw that Chi Xuemei really looked confused, and said in her heart that they might have made this mistake unintentionally, and her face was gentler, "Aunt, I'm not saying that there is a typo in this, but that this language makes some sense, and it doesn't make people misunderstand." 'Cui Geng borrowed twenty taels of silver from Chi Yue', did my uncle borrow it from me, or did he lend me twenty taels? You have to make it clear, and show it to others when the time comes, so that they can also judge it fairly, don't you think? ”

Chi Xuemei suddenly realized, slapped her thigh, and said angrily: "This careless one, he recognized so many words in vain, and he made such a big mistake in writing an IOU, so he didn't have to bother writing it again." ”

Although Chi Yue felt that there was some fuss, Chi Xuemei didn't dare to say anything to her, but there was such a subtle blame in her words, and she just hoped that Chi Yue could hear it, so that she could stop and tell her not to make another effort.

Where can't Chi Yue hear it? It's just that she must have an IOU that is clearly written, and it will avoid possible future troubles.

Yes, she was silent, just waiting for Chi Xuemei to get a new IOU back.

Seeing the situation, Chi Xuemei had to go back to running errands.

Here, Chi Yue turned her head and asked Jia Shi again, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to say to me?" ”

Jia Shicai was frightened by Chi Xuemei's sudden appearance, and his heart was pounding, for fear that his words would be listened to by his mother-in-law.

If the mother-in-law knew that she confided the truth to Chi Yue, making Chi Yue unwilling to lend them money, wouldn't her life be more and more sad in the future? Perhaps the children will also be implicated, and they will not be treated well by them.

For the sake of this relative who met for the first time, he bluntly confided something that should not be confided, but it affected himself and his children, which is not worth it.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law appeared in time to stop her talking. She was glad in her heart, but she was tormented by guilt, mixed tastes, and very uncomfortable.

Hearing Chi Yue ask her at this time, Jia immediately shook his head and said, "No, I didn't say anything." ”

Then he added: "It's all gossip that doesn't matter, Sister Yue'er don't take it to heart." ”

But the more she explained, the more Chi Yue felt that there was something greasy in it. Seeing that Jia Shi refused to say, she couldn't guess it herself, so she gave up.

After a while, Chi Xuemei ran back again.

This time, the smile on her face was not as bright as before, but there was a little sparkle in her eyes, mixed with some side things.

Thinking of Shicai, she threw the IOU to Cui Heng and blamed him for a few words, Cui Heng immediately frowned.

"This little girl is very shrewd." The corners of Cui Heng's mouth overflowed with a sinister sneer, "I have always tried this trick repeatedly, but I didn't expect to be pierced by her, it seems that she has experienced a lot of things in the world, and I despised her." ”

When Chi Xuemei heard that the taste in this was wrong, she realized that Cui Heng deliberately wrote it like this, trying to deceive Chi Yue.

"Boss, it turns out that you deliberately made a mistake?" Chi Xuemei looked around before muttering to Cui Heng in a low voice.

"What is wrong and not wrong, where did I write it wrong?" Cui Heng waved his hand irritably, and hurried up to Chi Xuemei, "It seems that we can't take advantage of this little girl's film, so I simply wrote an IOU to her." In the end, we all have to make a big fortune, and even if we return it to her twice, we won't feel distressed. ”

As he spoke, he took the pen and began to write again.

"Cut, are you willing to give it back to someone twice? I think half of it looks like I've picked at your flesh, which makes you feel very distressed. Chi Xuemei muttered inophinately, and naturally got Cui Heng's white eye.

Chi Xuemei transferred the IOU to Chi Yue again, and when Chi Yue saw this time, the words on it became: On the 20th day of July in the tenth year of Emperor Yan, Cui Heng borrowed 20 taels of silver from Chi Yue, and the deadline was one year, and it must be repaid.

After reading it, Chi Yue nodded, put it in her pocket with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Aunt Lao, you ran twice, don't you blame your niece for being troublesome?" ”

"How can you lend us two silver taels, it's too late for us to thank you, it's just a matter of running two legs, where can we blame you?" That being said, seeing that Chi Xue Meipi was smiling or not, she still had some ideas in her heart.

"This silver money ......," Chi Xuemei reminded her.

"Ask my uncle to go to my house tomorrow to get the money, and ask my mother to give it to you, and I will go to the county workshop tomorrow to take a look, so it is inconvenient to accompany you." Iketsuki Road.

Chi Xuemei nodded again and again, wishing that it would be almost tomorrow, so that she could go and get the silver.
