Chapter Eighty-Five: A Little Abacus
"I write an IOU, I kneel in front of my ancestors to write an IOU, okay?"
Tian Tian was so angry that she couldn't wait to smash the kettle on the table directly into Zhang's face, but she knew that she couldn't do this, so she could only grit her teeth and say this. ”
Hearing this, Tian Tian couldn't hold his breath anymore, and directly let go of He's hand and was about to run towards the side room full of ancestral tablets, but was stopped by Li's roar: "Enough!" When I'm dead, isn't it? What kind of IOU to write? How can your family have a reason to write an IOU? ”
"Mother, you can't blame me, Tian Tian has high ambitions, now that the bean sprouts have been successful, and I have found a buyer, I feel that I can make my own money after I have long skills, I am afraid that we who are uncles will take advantage, this IOU is what she is arguing to write."
"Can you please shut up and say less?"
"Milk, Tian Tian has always been very well-behaved since he was a child, and he has never caused you trouble, but this time, you allow me to be willful once, since the eldest aunt said that I hacked the seed money, then I will make up the seed money......"
After that, she picked up the banknote that Mu Qinghan brought a few days ago, sharpened the ink angrily, and just dipped the ink of a pen and prepared to put it down, she heard movement at the gate of the courtyard, followed by Xie Yinan's voice: "Tian Tian? ”
Xie Yinan's arrival undoubtedly didn't make the atmosphere more tense at the moment, and Zhang's face became even more unsightly, Tian Tian put down the brush, wiped the tears that ran out of his eyes because he was angry, and turned around and walked out: "Brother Xie, what's the matter?" ”
"Qinghan and I both want to eat the mushroom we picked last time, so we want to go with you...... Hey? What's wrong with you? Eyes so red? ”
Xie Yinan naturally saw that she had cried, so he didn't ask the rest of the words, since she was crying at home, it must be a housework, and he secretly said: It seems that it is not the right time.
"Tian Tian, are you crying?"
Xie Yinan almost laughed unkindly, how did he manage to ask this kind of embarrassing question with a serious face?
Tian Tian naturally ignored Mu Qinghan's concern, but suddenly thought of a question, raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yinan and said, "Brother Xie, do you have any money with you?" ”
"Huh?"
"How much?"
Tian Tian had red eyes but ignored Mu Qinghan's care, Mu Qinghan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Tian Tian was always like this, he didn't tell him anything, so when Tian Tian opened his mouth to ask Xie Yinan if he had any money, his first reaction was not to ask why, but to directly ask her how much she needed.
Alas, children are really calculating.
"Twenty Wen."
"Ah, but that's the youngest in me......"
Xie Yinan took out a piece of silver, Tian Tian didn't know how much it was, anyway, she didn't see her grandmother take out this amount, so she glanced at Xie Yinan, pushed his hand away, and asked Mu Qinghan: "What about you?" ”
Mu Qinghan took out the money bag, Tian Tian couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous when he saw this, a rich man is a rich man, and this money bag is estimated to be worth a lot of money.
"There are more than 30 wen, last time my grandmother gave me 50 wen to go to the market with you, and after giving some to Granny Chen, I didn't spend it."
"Lend me twenty."
"Oh."
Mu Qinghan honestly poured out all the copper plates in the money bag, and then handed them all to Tian Tian: "You take it first!" ”
Tian Tian's move to borrow money all fell into the eyes of Li and others, Li didn't have any special reaction, she was probably moved by Tian Tian's words just now, and Zhang was envious and jealous in her heart, why could she be a dry little girl and get to know so many children from rich families? In Xie Yinan's hand just now, what he held was a silver ingot of ten taels!
Hold all the copper plates that Mu Qinghan gave him to the table in front of the Li family, and then count twenty and push them in front of the Li family: "Since the eldest aunt suspects that I will not repay the money, then I don't need to write an IOU now, I will borrow money to fill in the account directly, right?" ”
It's just that Tian Tian's hand hasn't had time to leave the copper plate, there is movement in the yard, the gate 'bang' made a loud noise, everyone turned around to look over there, only to see Tian Xiu with one hand on his waist and the other hand on the door panel, his face was full of questions and a little anger, and he was carrying a basket of branches on his back, it seemed that he had just come back from collecting firewood.
"What's the money? What IOU? What to fill in? ”
Tian Xiu walked in as he spoke, half-squatted down to put the back basket away, and then twisted his somewhat sore neck, which looked ...... at this time It's really not very gentle, but there is a pair of eyes looking at her back, slowly hooking the corners of her lips.
"What the hell is going on? Tian Tian: Who do you owe money? ”
"Last time I took the money to buy seeds, the eldest aunt said that I swallowed the fifteen yuan privately, and I now borrowed twenty yuan from Mu Qinghan and made it up."
Tian Xiu's arrival is undoubtedly not good for Tian Tian, Tian Xiu has always been direct, and he will help when He is busy, but now at this time, Tian Tian will tell the truth, she doesn't believe that her little aunt will not help her.
"Oh, then I'll pay it back!"
“……”
Tian Tian was a little speechless, not that she didn't want to pay it back, but that she felt that Tian Xiu's reaction was a little abnormal.
"In this way, when the strawberries are ripe and the watermelons are ripe, they will all belong to Tian Tian, and when the time comes, you will become a little rich man, remember to invite your little aunt to have a good meal, by the way, don't forget to leave me some watermelons and strawberries, I want to try them."
"Of course, if there are good things, I will definitely honor my grandparents, uncles, second uncles, second uncles and little aunts as soon as possible."
Tian Tian was really miserable in her heart, with such a hurtful ally as her little aunt, she believed that the eldest aunt would definitely be as uncomfortable as swallowing a thousand fish bones now, because the eyes in her eyes when she looked at the little aunt at the moment were almost about to erupt into flames.
"It took fifteen wen to buy seeds, because I didn't say hello to my milk in advance, so I went back twenty wen, and if the eldest aunt is still worried about me in the future, then ...... You can come with me to town and watch me collect the money from Boss Ma. ”
When Zhang heard this, he immediately took a step back, as if he was afraid that Tian Tian would catch her, and immediately said loudly: "Who...... Who doesn't believe you anymore? I'm just saying that, are you a serious girl? ”
"Well, no matter what the aunt is talking about, I don't take it seriously, anyway, I will pay back the money, and when the time comes, this watermelon and strawberry will be mine alone, and the aunt has no opinion, right?"
Zhang gritted his teeth and did not speak.
"If the eldest aunt doesn't speak, I'll acquiesce to you, since that's the case, then you can't say that I hacked the money for watermelon and strawberries and deducted it."
"You ......"
"Milk, what do you think?"
Li has always been in a state of silence, Tian Tian's actions she has seen in her eyes, although she has wanted to stop it several times, but there is really no reason to stop it, after all, this matter is indeed the eldest daughter-in-law's, what is not good to bury her, but to bury her, you must know that now Tian Tian's bean sprouts have made double the money, it should have been a happy thing, but it has become like this now.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang's with some hatred, and then said loudly: "In addition, there is no other solution, starting tomorrow, the work at home will be distributed!" ”
After speaking, Li took the copper plate on the table, stood up and returned to his own room, Zhang was also angry, she never thought that she was planted in Tian Tian's hands three times and twice, what made her most angry was that she couldn't squeeze He anymore in the future, she had to work hard, how could she not be angry?
Looking at the backs of the Li family and the Zhang family, Tian Tian couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, the little abacus in her heart was not just a matter of watermelons and strawberries being sold for private money, but ...... She can finally take this opportunity to be independent financially, and when she slowly saves enough money, she must buy a house again for her father and mother to live in, even if she doesn't split up, she can't let her mother be wronged again!
She believes that there are no people who can't get rich, only idiots who are not willing to find a way to work hard!
