Chapter 33: Everything is ready to break ground
After sending Wang Defa and his sister away, Li Qiyang entered the courtyard to discuss with his daughter-in-law about borrowing money. Li Qiyang is a smart man, and he knows that if he doesn't discuss this matter with his daughter-in-law, if he hastily agrees just now, it will definitely cause a conflict between the two people, so he didn't say anything to death, which will not only make his daughter-in-law feel comfortable, but also won't feel embarrassed in front of his sister and brother-in-law because he agreed privately and if he can't do it.
"You see that my sister and brother-in-law are open, do you want to borrow this money or not?" Li Qiyang said to his daughter-in-law while tidying up Wang Guisheng's messy things in the room.
I didn't respond, I don't know if I listened or not.
"I'm talking, don't you listen, borrow it or not, I'll give you a word. Look at my sister, originally a good home, just because my brother-in-law had a hot brain, digging the grave of his ancestors, digging himself into the cell, in the past five years, you look at my sister with three dolls, an old man, what kind of life is it, to repair the house, is also a serious matter, besides, my business of the acquisition station, you don't know how it started at the beginning, if it weren't for my brother-in-law secretly to help, how could there be now. Li Qiyang was obviously a little anxious, he said this, in fact, from the bottom of his heart he wanted to borrow this money.
"Listen to what you say, is that you going to have to borrow?" Li Qiyang's daughter-in-law finally spoke.
"It's not what it means, it's just discussing with you, I'm thinking about borrowing it, don't underestimate my brother-in-law, although the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, but after all, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, I think his person, it's not simple, in case it is developed in the future, let's be a family, stain it or something, is it a matter of course, not to mention that we helped him so much when he needed money, right?" Li Qiyang is a businessman, and what he said was like painting cakes for his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law couldn't say anything if he didn't agree.
Li Qiyang said so, but he also knew that no one could tell what would happen in the future, and when the sun rises tomorrow morning, it is a question mark whether the shoes can be put on, not to mention that his brother-in-law, who has been in prison, wants to turn over with salted fish, how can it be so simple. He just said it so fancily to dispel his daughter-in-law's doubts that she was afraid that the money would not come back.
"What you said is right, but you said that your brother-in-law was in a hurry to repair the house only a few days after he came back, what did you do?"
"What's the picture? I don't need to think about it, it's not just for the sake of face. With his temperament and face, he can let go and do what he wants to do. Besides, if you look at his house, and then look at other people's houses around you, it's really time to tear it down. It's this, let's just think about it, if it doesn't affect the acquisition station, you give me the money, I'll send it over, anyway, no matter what, if this thing is done, they have to think of our good, and they won't lose, don't worry. ”
"That's okay, there should be 10,000, if you don't think it will affect your business turnover, then I'll get it for you."
"Take it, it doesn't matter, our 10,000 will be regarded as existing."
After the matter was communicated, Li Qiyang watched his daughter-in-law take out the key to the big box along the kang and take out the money from it. The two of them sorted out the money of different denominations, counted 10,000 yuan, and there was still some money left.
"The scrap truck hasn't arrived yet, so I'll wait, and if I load up the car and send it away in the afternoon, I'll go to my sister's house overnight and deliver the money. The more timely we send it, the more it seems that our family is united. ”
"Well, see for yourself, if it's too late, you'll go tomorrow. Nor in a one-night rush. ”
"It's okay, if it's too late, why don't you stay for one night?"
Wang Defa took the woman and Wang Guisheng all the way back slowly, still a little complaining in his heart, but he had to hope that his wife and brother could discuss a good result with his daughter-in-law.
And the woman sitting in the back seat looked much more relaxed, humming a few words of Qin from time to time, as if she was confident.
On the way back, the two of them didn't communicate much, riding a bicycle back and forth, Wang Defa was also tired, and he didn't care about talking. Coupled with the fact that he was a little worried about the doll and the old mother at home, Wang Defa's foot frequency was much faster than when he went.
After returning home, everything was normal, and Wang Laidi took care of his grandmother. The woman looked up at the sun, Wang Chenglong would soon be out of school, and she went to the kitchen to prepare for the evening's dinner.
Wang Defa was preoccupied, he didn't know what he was thinking about all the way back from his mother-in-law's house, he was confused, if his wife and brother didn't borrow the money, where would he borrow it again? He even thought that if he really only had 30,000 yuan in hand now, then he would first repair an upper house, which would be enough for a family of five, and then repair the courtyard wall and door to make a transition. Of course, the best thing is to borrow 10,000 yuan and repair the entire yard in one step.
In the evening, when the family was eating around the table, Li Qiyang came.
"Qiyang, sit, sit, what's up? Have you discussed it with your daughter-in-law? As soon as he let people in from outside the house, Wang Defa couldn't wait to ask.
"After we discussed, I'll send you and my sister money."
"Ah, yes, this is great, you came just right, there is still rice in the pot, old woman, hurry up and scoop a bowl of rice for Qiyang, I'm tired all the way." Wang Defa said excitedly.
"Sister, brother-in-law, when you brought it up during the day, it wasn't that I was hesitating, you said this relatively suddenly, I have to make this clear to my daughter-in-law, if I am the master alone, I am afraid of conflicts. When you leave, we will communicate, and after I am busy with my cargo in the afternoon, I will come over. ”
"What you are doing right, that is, you should discuss, and you have to think about the affairs of the two of you. You've done my brother-in-law a great favor. ”
"Family, don't be so polite, I'm just afraid that you and my sister will think too much, so I hurried over."
The woman brought the meal and handed it to her brother, saying, "Even if you have a conscience, your brother-in-law didn't help you secretly before." Hurry up, let's eat. ”
Well, the problem of money is completely solved. This made Wang Defa breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, what about this matter, one by one, there is a time when he can do it.
After Li Qiyang finished eating, he handed the tight pile of money to Wang Defa and asked him to count. Wang Defa understood what he meant, and counted the money of different denominations in front of him.
"If my brother-in-law develops in the future, I will thank you very much."
"Brother-in-law, don't be so polite, it's all about living a good life, you can save more than 30,000 yuan to repair the house, it's not to live a good life with my sister, that's enough, when you turn around, the money will be okay."
"You'll stay tonight and come back tomorrow, it's too dark. By the way, I accompanied my brother-in-law to have a few drinks, and since I came back, I was about to be tortured and crazy for this, just when you came, let's have a good drink. ”
"It's just a matter of secretly drinking by myself, and I also take my brother to drink, and I take drinking as a skill."
"Look at you, aren't you happy, I'll drink two, you take the baby to bed early. Look at the yellow radish and mix it with cold vegetables! Wang Defa said with a hippie smile.
"Shall I give you two more stir-fried dishes?"
"That daring couldn't be better." Wang Defa is in a good mood and speaks with a lot of humor.
The woman ignored the two men, turned around and went out. Wang Defa took out the wine in the cabinet and drank it with his wife and brother.
It didn't take long for the woman to carry a plate of cold shredded yellow radish and a plate of scrambled eggs.
"Drink and drink, you two can't make a fist at night, arguing with the doll and the mother, you two just wait."
"Got it, got it, you go to bed quickly."
A bottle of wine, you drink a glass of wine, and when the wine is almost gone, everyone is drunk. The two of them hugged each other and talked about wine that only they could understand.
"I've been in prison for the past five years, aggrieved, look at the thieves all over the mountains now, how many have you been caught? In the past five years, what I can't live most is this family, when I need me the most, I feel like the world has evaporated. Qiyang, don't you know how uncomfortable your brother and I have been in the past two days, going from house to house begging people to borrow money, do you know how much you borrowed? I borrowed three thousand, people, they are all fucking snobs, when I am beautiful, whoever doesn't lift me up, I will do whom, and no one dares to take me seriously. Now, I'm down, I'm in jail, and I'm watching like a plague hiding. Wang Defa couldn't even hold his tongue straight when he spoke.
"Brother, brother, you're right, people are a cheap skin, think about it, I was bullied when I collected rags, and I couldn't look down on the rags, who are they." Li Qiyang hugged his brother-in-law and began to vent.
"Therefore, people are the ones who sharpen their heads and walk in front of others by any means, and who are spurned and are always behind."
The two of them didn't know how long they had been arguing like this, when they fell asleep, they didn't know themselves, the woman was still awake at first, and what happened later, including the two men themselves, they didn't know, they were stunned.
The next day, the two of them lay crookedly on the kang. Early in the morning, the woman got up and made some soup and rice, so as to relieve hangover.
Li Qiyang went home with his nephew Wang Chenglong to school. Wang De's head still hurts a little, he only remembers that the matter of his house repair money has been solved, and seeing that everyone is busy with himself, he suddenly doesn't know what he should do.
Time is approaching sixteen day by day, and there are still many things to prepare before the construction starts. The construction team was looking for which, but they couldn't find a good construction team, and the quality of the house was not sure. After the beginning of spring, there are many people who break ground in April and May, and many construction teams are contracting the work of several families at once in order to get work, and each family leaves some people to work, and starts work at the same time, not to mention the slow construction period, and the work is not flattering.
Bricks, steel bars, cement, etc., where to buy these materials, you get what you pay for, and which ones are better, Wang Defa doesn't know. If you want to say that he has nothing to do, he really hasn't done anything in the past few days, if you want to say that there is something, he has no clue about this lot of things. Fortunately, the matter of repairing the house can be done, and this thing he thought about as soon as he was released from prison was finalized.
