Chapter 70: Borrowing Money
Walking on the road with Bai Xue in her arms, stepping on the snow, squeaking, sniffing, Jiang Yuanyuan pulled Bai Xue's hat down.
Bai Xue rubbed on Jiang Yuanyuan's body, her little girl was very warm, her whole body was hot, her eyes were watery, staring at Jiang Yuanyuan.
"It's coming soon, and if you don't come, you have to come with me." Jiang Yuanyuan took a breath, when she went out in the morning, Bai Xue had to follow her, she told Jiang Xuan that she would go to Master Guo to talk about something, Jiang Xuan was worried that there were too many children at home to bring with him, so he asked Jiang Yuanyuan to take Bai Xue away.
Bai Xue opened her mouth and exhaled two hot breaths, her little mouth pouted, looking weird and cute.
"Isn't it cold, close your mouth quickly, be careful that your mouth is frozen and you can't close it." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled, she yawned, and physiologically shed a few tears, and the tears were cold in the air for a long time.
Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and looking at the door in front of her, Jiang Yuanyuan took a deep breath, her shoes had been soaked with snow, her feet were cold, and the coldness came up slightly, she stepped forward and knocked on the door, Jiang Yuanyuan slowly exhaled.
"Who?" There was a voice in the room, and as soon as Jiang Yuanyuan looked up, the door had been opened, and a little girl looked outside, "Who are you?" ”
"Hello! I'm looking for Mr. Guo and Mrs. Guo. Jiang Yuanyuan smiled, her arm was a little sore, she changed her hand to hold the child, and wrapped the child in a cloak.
"Grandpa, grandma, looking for you." The little girl opened the door and shouted into the room, "Come in, it's cold outside." ”
"Thank you." Jiang Yuanyuan crossed the threshold, the little girl closed the door, she ran quickly to the front of the house, the door was open, Jiang Yuanyuan felt the thick heat rolling in as soon as she walked over.
"Yo, it's Yuanyuan." Mrs. Guo walked this way on crutches, and when she saw Jiang Yuanyuan, she smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Ah, Xiao Baixue is here too." ”
During the Chinese New Year, Jiang Yuanyuan brought Bai Xue to Mr. Guo's house to worship the New Year, so Mr. Guo and Mrs. Guo both knew Bai Xue.
The little girl who helped Jiang Yuanyuan open the door ran to the side to play, Jiang Yuanyuan stood at the door, put Bai Xue down, and untied the cloak on Bai Xue.
"Let's change our shoes." Mrs. Guo took a pair of shoes and put them in front of Jiang Yuanyuan, which Mrs. Guo sewed and repaired by herself, which was very new.
Jiang Yuanyuan paused for a moment, then nodded, took off her soaked shoes and socks, and put them on, "Thank you." ”
"Ah Wu, help Yuanyuan bake her shoes and socks." Mrs. Guo beckoned and summoned a young woman, the woman smiled and took Jiang Yuanyuan's shoes and socks away, Jiang Yuanyuan walked into the house and picked up Bai Xue, who couldn't walk yet.
"Mrs. Guo." Jiang Yuanyuan shouted softly.
Mrs. Guo looked up at Jiang Yuanyuan, with scrutiny in her eyes, she didn't come to the door for anything, which is the clearest truth for a mother-in-law who is over half a hundred years old and knows the world.
"Come and talk about it." After looking at it for a long time, Mrs. Guo smiled and walked towards the table.
Jiang Yuanyuan followed, she put Bai Xue on her lap, Bai Xue lay on Jiang Yuanyuan's body, looked left and right, seemed to really study this place that looked a little familiar, she looked left and right, seemed to find a familiar feeling, struggled to get up from Jiang Yuanyuan's body and lay on the table.
"Say whatever you want." Mrs. Guo poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yuanyuan, Jiang Yuanyuan held it in her hand and pinched it, stared at the water cup and took a deep breath, the water in the cup rippled a few times, and then calmed down.
"Mrs. Guo, I'm here this time... It's to borrow a little money. Jiang Yuanyuan looked up at Mrs. Guo, "I... I promise you'll pay it back. ”
Mrs. Guo took a sip of tea calmly, she squinted her eyes slightly, looking at her water cup, the water vapor was filled, and Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't see Mrs. Guo's eyes clearly.
"It's not impossible to borrow money." After a long time, Mrs. Guo said softly, "But, I have to know what you are borrowing this money for, and besides, the word repayment is not easy to say, and it will be repaid for the rest of your life, I am gone, who knows that you haven't paid it back yet." ”
Jiang Yuanyuan's heart tightened, she pursed her lips and licked her lips subconsciously.
"I... I promise you, for a maximum of two years, that the money will be returned to you. Jiang Yuanyuan said firmly after a moment of hesitation, her eyes were very resolute, and her brows were slightly twisted.
Mrs. Guo took another sip of water.
"How much are you going to borrow?"
"Two thousand taels." Jiang Yuanyuan said.
"May I find out why you're borrowing money?" Mrs. Guo put down the cup, her hair was gray, but her momentum was very sharp, it was not difficult to see what she used to look like, she must have been sharp at times.
"......" Jiang Yuanyuan licked her lips, "There is a hard battle, I don't know how to describe it, but this is a war that we must respond to, and we must win." ”
"So... Before you came to me, did you think about how you were going to pay me back if you failed? After all, two thousand taels, not two hundred taels, is not something you said you would take out. Mrs. Guo smiled slowly.
"We can't afford to fail." Jiang Yuanyuan shook her head, "We won't fail, but I can say that within two years, we will definitely be able to return the money to you." ”
As she spoke, Jiang Yuanyuan subconsciously raised her head slightly, and she just looked at Mrs. Guo without stage fright.
Mrs. Guo smiled slowly.
"I admire you." Mrs. Guo said, "Come on the day after tomorrow, there is not so much cash at home, I will give it to you the day after tomorrow." ”
"Thank you!" Jiang Yuanyuan stood up and thanked her heartily, "I will come with the contract." ”
Mrs. Guo looked at Jiang Yuanyuan with a smile and nodded slowly, "Since you're here, let's have dinner here." ”
"Nope." Jiang Yuanyuan shook her head, "This is a hard battle, I can't relax, thank you very much, but I'm going back now." ”
"In that case, I will not force it to stay." Mrs. Guo smiled, "Ah Wu, are the shoes dry?" ”
"It's still a little wet." The woman said on the other side, "But you can wear it." ”
Saying that, the woman came over with her shoes, and she didn't know where they were baked, and it didn't take long for them to be almost dry, Jiang Yuanyuan smiled and thanked her, and walked to the door to change her shoes, the shoes were warm and comfortable, although there were some rhymes, but they were very comfortable.
"Thank you." Before leaving, Jiang Yuanyuan put down Bai Xue and bowed, and after that, she hugged Bai Xue and carefully tied Bai Xue's cloak.
Mrs. Guo stood in front of the door and watched Jiang Yuanyuan walk out, watching Jiang Yuanyuan push open the door and leave.
"Kid!" Mrs. Guo suddenly said, "Businessmen are very profitable, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests, you can't put everything on a businessman, you must remember." ”
Jiang Yuanyuan, who walked to the door, paused, turned around, nodded slightly, and bowed to Mrs. Guo again.
Sending Jiang Yuanyuan away, Mrs. Guo walked into the house with a cane, in the room, Mr. Guo nested in the quilt and read a book, saw Mrs. Guo, and quickly lifted the quilt next to him and patted it, Mrs. Guo walked over with a smile, and as soon as she sat down, Mr. Guo lifted her feet and put them on his body.
"Is it Yuanyuan?" Master Guo asked, he squeezed his wife's hand and rubbed it, passing his temperature over, "Are you here for money?" ”
"Hmm." Mrs. Guo answered, she yawned and leaned lightly on Master Guo's body.
"These kids are still too young." Master Guo said, "Although the Peng family is treacherous, they are also a big family after all, and the dog will jump off the wall when they are in a hurry, and they are not ready to be retaliated against at all." ”
"Hmph~" Mrs. Guo snorted disdainfully, "What preparations you haven't seen before." ”
"Alas! I'm going to do it. Master Guo blushed and retorted, not wanting his wife to mention this topic, Master Guo waved his hand, "It's just that these children will definitely be injured and suffer in the Wei family." ”
Mrs. Guo seemed to have thought of something, and nodded approvingly, "The Wei family is a big head, how can it be used by others." Sheng Rong kid is a smart one, he may have expected it, but he is not deeply involved in the world, and he still hasn't figured out how deep the water is in this, I just hope they can survive, these things are not something we can control. ”
Master Guo shook his head, "It's hard to say about this matter, nine times out of ten, it's going to be a big one." ”
"Humph!" Mrs. Guo pulled out her hand, "I like these two children a lot, anyway, in the end, no matter what happens to this matter, you have to reach out to me to take care of it." ”
"Oh, I know, I know, I'll do my best, I'll do my best." Mr. Guo flattered Mrs. Guo's hand, and he patted it gently, full of flattery.
Holding Bai Xue home, it was no surprise that his feet were soaked again, he took off his shoes and baked it, and baked Bai Xue's cloak, Jiang Yuanyuan stepped on the quilt with bare feet, pondered for a while, Jiang Yuanyuan hugged Bai Xue and abandoned the next room, Chen Mofan was changing Xun'er's diaper, Xun'er woke up, pinched her little fist and waved, Jiang Yuanyuan pinched Xun'er's little hand, and put the basket that Bai Xue put on her back yesterday.
"I'm leaving." Jiang Yuanyuan said, she trembled, the bell jingled, and Bai Xue clapped her hands happily.
"Well, be careful on the road." Chen Mofan said, he turned Xun'er over, continued the movements in his hands, and didn't bring his head back.
went to the field and showed Bai Xue to Jiang Qian, Jiang Yuanyuan ran to the garbage heap to take a look, washed her hands, Jiang Yuanyuan called everyone to have a meeting, the content of the meeting, increase everyone's workload, of course, it is necessary to add money.
Some people are dissatisfied with the content of this meeting, but some people are very happy, every year the New Year will make a family spend a lot of money, spring is the poorest time, busy and tired, although the workload has increased, but relatively speaking, the money has also increased a lot, which is a very happy thing for some more difficult families.
