Chapter Seventy-Two: Borrowing Money (Asking for Money, Asking for Support!) )
Early the next morning, Lin Xiaoman got up, Gao's mother was feeding the chickens, Gao Jianjun didn't come back from the morning exercise, Gao's mother commanded when she saw her: "Get up?" Go and make breakfast, make some bud rice porridge, the steamed buns that were steamed yesterday are still hot, and then cut some pickles, by the way, cook an egg for Jianjun and your father-in-law...... Hurry up, when the army comes back from exercise, you have to eat when you are hungry. ”
Lin Xiaoman understands in her heart that she will not be a bride from today onwards, and she does not reject doing housework, she can't be such a big person waiting at home for an idle meal, waiting for her mother-in-law to serve.
It's just that I'm a little speechless when I hear it, she still has a share of the boiled eggs yesterday, and it's gone today? The patriarchy of the Gao family is also quite serious.
But my mother-in-law didn't eat it herself, she didn't fight for that, and it wouldn't be good to eat one less egg, so she agreed, went to the toilet and came back, just in time to see Gao Jianjun coming back from morning practice and smiling at her, "Get up, why don't you sleep for a while?" ”
Lin Xiaoman thought to himself, I'm going to sleep more, I'm afraid you're going to be hungry. "I'm going to cook, are you hungry? I'll be able to wait for a meal. ”
Gao Jianjun said: "I'm not hungry, you wait, I'll give you firewood." ”
Lin Xiaoman is basically satisfied with the man's superiority, in fact, her mother-in-law burned the pot early in the morning, and the pot was filled with water, but only a handful of firewood was added to the stove, she went in to look for a long time, heated the steamed buns, boiled the eggs, and then brought a basin out to ask for help, "Mom, where is the bud rice noodles?" Why didn't I find it? ”
Gao's mother said: "Where did you find it in the shed?" Whose bud rice noodles are still in the house. ”
Lin Xiaoman felt that today's mother-in-law didn't seem to be in a good mood......
For breakfast, Gao Xiumei pouted as soon as she sat down at the table, "Why did you boil two eggs?" I want to eat ...... too."
"Let's eat, these days the chickens have just started to lay eggs, and your brother has used them when he gets married, and when he saves them in a few days, he will cook them for you and your sister-in-law." Gao's mother was kind and angry in the face of the girl, "Hurry up and eat with your brother and them to your eldest sister's house in the county seat, and you won't be able to catch the car if you go late." ”
After eating, he didn't even bother to clean up the bowl, and the servants were chased away by Gao's mother, "Rub it off, you guys, no one has to go if you can't catch the car." ”
When she went to the township, Gao Xiumei muttered quietly, "Mom took the medicine today?" Why do you wake up early in the morning and feel like you're not angry? ”
Lin Xiaoman didn't understand it, but Gao Jianjun knew.
He looked at his daughter-in-law, who was also a little puzzled, and when he got on the bus, he whispered to his wife: "In the morning, your grandmother came to ask your mother to borrow money......
Lin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, "Who?" Who do you say will borrow the money? ”
"Your grandmother."
Lin Xiaoman was a little puzzled, "I'm ...... Grandmother? What money did she come to borrow? How did you come here to borrow money? ”
Gao Jianjun thought to himself, because he felt that his parents had become in-laws, so he came to borrow money. But they don't want to think about how they can lend them so much money when they have just got married.
No, the old lady of the Lin family said a few words that were not very good, Gao's mother was in a bad mood, and she couldn't send it to her daughter-in-law, so she fell and beat her in the morning.
Lin Xiaoman shook her head invisibly, she had only seen the old lady the day before her wedding these days, and she had a drooping face all day, but she didn't say anything unpleasant, she didn't expect her to come to the door to borrow money as soon as she returned to the door, fortunately she was not the original owner, otherwise with the original owner's temperament, her mother's family would not give a long face, and it would be strange to cry angrily!
Gao Jianjun saw that she was not as angry as she imagined, and put down his heart to explain: "It's not that my mother refuses to lend them money, we spent a lot of money on the banquet, my mother is a face-saving person, the banquet is the best in the township, it costs a lot of money, and the gift money is small, where is there any money to lend her, my mother said that the old lady is not happy, and her speech is not very good, so my mother is a little angry...... "He hurriedly said: "It's not that I'm angry with you, my mother knows the relationship between your family and the old lady, you can rest assured......"
Lin Xiaoman interrupted him, "I know, you don't have to explain. She paused and said, "Do you know why the old lady borrowed money?" "I hadn't heard of it before.
Gao Jianjun's face was a little strange, "I said it was a gift to the old and young of your second uncle's family." ”
Lin Xiaoman thought about it carefully and wondered a little, "I remember that kid is only sixteen this year, right?" Is this going to be a wedding ceremony? "Second Uncle Lin's family isn't crazy, what kind of gift did a half-grown boy give him?
Gao Jianjun coughed, lowered his head and lowered his voice and said: "I went out for a run just now and met Zhenyou, I heard that that kid made the girl's belly bigger, and the woman came to the door yesterday and said that if you don't hurry up to marry the two children, you will sue him for hooliganism......"
So Second Uncle Lin's family was in a hurry, and the woman's family bit it to death and didn't let go, and it was over without taking out five hundred yuan, so they borrowed money from someone with good conditions in the village.
Lin Xiaoman frowned, if this is the case, his mother's family just has no money, and he is afraid that he will be pulled by them. And Father Lin is soft-eared, people don't treat him as a brother, but he treats others as a younger brother, maybe the few dollars he just earned these days will be taken away again.
She didn't have any ideas, but Lin Dakui's family affairs were afraid that they would be pushed back again, and Mother Lin must be sitting at home sighing and quarreling with Father Lin......
When she came back to her senses, the bus had arrived at the county seat.
Gao Xiumei got out of the car and turned around happily, and took the initiative to come over and hold her arm, "Sister-in-law, didn't you say that we should go to the department store first?" Ahead, I'll lead you. ”
Lin Xiaoman smiled: "Okay, today you are the tour guide." ”
Gao Xiumei wondered: "What is a tour guide?" ”
"You're the one who led me around."
"Yes, I'll take you around." Gao Xiumei's eyes flowed, and she asked flatteringly: "Sister-in-law, if I have something to look at, can you buy it for me?" I was afraid that she was afraid of spending money, so she hurriedly added: "I don't want to be expensive, just a few cents to one or two dollars." ”
Lin Xiaoman smiled, this kid is really cautious, "I still have a few cents, if it is more than one dollar, I have to ask your brother for the money." ”
Gao Xiumei pursed her lips and didn't believe it, "It's really fake, sister-in-law, aren't you making money as a head flower?" How can there be no money? ”
"I just got married and I didn't go to work, where did I get the money? I did it for my mother before, I didn't get married, but the money earned by the Lin family went to the family, do you think that's the truth? ”
"I don't, if I earn my own money, I'll take it myself, and no one will give it." Gao Xiumei muttered in a low voice, "I'm not as stupid as you, I don't have any money, it's so uncomfortable, I can't afford to buy a snack if I want to." ”
Lin Xiaoman smiled, "So, we all have to work hard to make money, the more the better." ”
As soon as Gao Xiumei raised her eyes and saw the plaque of the department store, she pointed to it and shouted: "That's it, department store, sister-in-law hurry up." ”
After she finished speaking, she saw a man and a woman entering the department store not far in front of them, the woman's back looked like Fang Yuling, and she pulled her sister-in-law's arm, "Do you think that portrait looks like Fang Yuling?" ”
