"Master He! Your house is changed from a small one-story building to a two-story building, plus the division of rooms, etc., the cost will be two floors higher than the east wing of the patriotic comrades, if we are in charge of the package of materials and the public, it will probably cost between 500 and 600. Master Liu heard Silly Zhu's inquiry, and after confidently calculating with paper and pen, he told Silly Zhu about the renovation cost of the house.

Silly Zhu originally thought that after his house was repaired, it would only cost four or five hundred yuan at most, but now when he learned that Master Liu quoted the price, he was immediately frightened by Silly Zhu, and asked Master Liu in confusion: "Master Liu!" The size of the patriotic house is about the same as mine, why does his only need more than 500 yuan, but mine is so expensive? ”

When Master Liu heard Silly Zhu's inquiry, he was not dissatisfied because of Silly Zhu's questioning, but introduced with a serious face: "Master He! Your house is indeed about the same size as the patriotic comrade's house! ”

"But in addition to dividing your house, you also have to build an extra floor, so that the area of your house will increase by fifty or sixty square meters invisibly, and the amount of materials and work in your house will be more than that of patriotic comrades, so it will be more than 100 more expensive than the patriotic house."

Silly Zhu heard Master Liu's explanation, and then he understood the reason.

In the past few years of working in Silly Zhu, he has also saved more than 300 yuan, which seems like a lot, but it is more than half of the cost of repairing the house.

Realizing that he didn't have enough money, an embarrassed expression appeared on Silly Zhu's face, and he said to Master Liu with some embarrassment: "Master Liu! I don't have enough money right now, I need to find someone to borrow it, and I'll contact you when I have enough money! ”

When Master Liu heard Silly Zhu's words, he saw Silly Zhu's embarrassed expression, and replied with a smile: "Master He! Yes! Then when you have enough money, you can come back to me. ”

Wu Aiguo and Silly Zhu sent Master Liu to the gate of the courtyard, and then asked Silly Zhu with a smile: "Brother Zhuzi!" I finished renovating the house, and I still have three or four hundred yuan left on my body, how much money do you have left? I can lend you some first. ”

It is said that if there is no comparison, there is no harm, Wu Aiguo's words immediately reminded Silly Zhu of the scene when he asked Yi Zhonghai to borrow money two days ago.

At this moment, the stupid pillar finally understood a truth, the so-called people who are good to themselves are not the kind of people who can only talk about them, but people who can really stand up and help themselves at critical times.

Faced with Wu Aiguo's help, Silly Zhu replied with a grateful face: "Patriotic!" When I get the money sent back by He Daqing, I will see if there is still a gap, and then I will ask you to borrow it. ”

Wu Aiguo heard Silly Zhu's words, nodded subconsciously and replied, "Brother Zhuzi! If you don't have enough money, you can always come to me. ”

When Silly Zhu returned home, he remembered Yi Zhonghai's money, and finally decided to go to the deaf old lady.

"Old lady! Have you eaten? When Silly Zhu came to the deaf old lady's house, the deaf old lady had just finished dinner, and Silly Zhu saw the old lady sitting at the table and asked the old lady with a smile.

When the deaf old lady saw the arrival of the stupid pillar, she looked at the stupid pillar with a kind face, and replied, "Pillar! Your aunt brought me two white flour steamed buns tonight, I ate one, and there is one left, do you want to eat some too? ”

Silly Zhu heard the deaf old lady's answer, subconsciously shook his head, and replied, "Old lady! I'm not hungry, you can eat for yourself! ”

When the deaf old lady heard Silly Zhu's answer, she saw Silly Zhu's preoccupied appearance, and asked Silly Zhu curiously, "Silly Zhu! Is something happening? ”

Silly Zhu heard the deaf old lady's inquiry, thought of the purpose of his coming to find the deaf old lady, and opened his mouth to ask the deaf old lady: "Old lady! Do you know why He Daqing left me and the rain in the first place? ”

When the deaf old lady heard Silly Zhu suddenly mention He Daqing's matter, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she asked Silly Zhu curiously: "Pillar! Didn't He Daqing run to Baoding with the White Widow? Why did you suddenly ask about He Daqing today? ”

Silly Zhu heard the deaf old lady's answer, which made him faintly feel that the deaf old lady obviously knew the reason for He Daqing's sudden departure.

Thinking of Yi Zhonghai's ignorance of the money sent by He Daqing, Silly Zhu said with a resentful face: "Old lady! Although He Daqing ran away with the White Widow, I heard that He Daqing has been sending money to me and Yushui in the past few years, but this money was swallowed by Yi Zhonghai. ”

"What! Silly pillar! What did you say? He Daqing has been sending money to your brothers and sisters all these years, who did you listen to about this? When the deaf old lady heard the news that Silly Zhu told her, her wrinkled face showed a shocked expression, and she opened her mouth to ask Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu heard the deaf old lady's inquiry, saw the deaf old lady's reaction, and immediately realized that the deaf old lady obviously didn't know about He Daqing sending money to their brothers and sisters.

Faced with the deaf old lady's inquiry, Silly Zhu replied with great certainty: "Old lady! I have confirmed this matter from the post office, and in the second month after He Daqing left Kyoto, he began to send money to me and Yushui, and the sending has not stopped until now, and the person who collected it was Yi Zhonghai. ”

The old lady doesn't look old, but she is a very shrewd person, and when she heard the situation introduced by Silly Zhu, she immediately remembered that Silly Zhu borrowed money from Yi Zhonghai.

At that time, the old lady was still wondering, Silly Zhu had nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai to borrow money, but now when she heard the situation introduced by Silly Zhu, the old lady immediately realized that Silly Zhu's borrowing of money was fake, and it was true to test Yi Zhonghai.

The deaf old lady thought of what Yi Zhonghai had been planning all these years, and an ominous thought immediately rose in her heart, and she hurriedly explained to Yi Zhonghai: "Silly pillar! Your uncle's salary is more than 80 yuan per month, and he shouldn't be ignorant of your money, is there any misunderstanding here? ”

Although the stupid pillar is called the stupid pillar, he is not stupid at all, when he heard the deaf old lady's explanation, he didn't believe the deaf old lady's words at all, and replied: "Old lady! If it was a misunderstanding, when I asked Yi Zhonghai to borrow money that day, Yi Zhonghai would not have twisted and said that there was no money to lend me. ”

"Old lady! I specifically asked someone if I went to the police station with the post office slip to report the case, and the things Yi Zhonghai did were enough for him to stay in it for a few years. ”

"Considering that Aunt Yi has taken care of our brothers and sisters over the years, so I didn't say anything, tomorrow when Aunt Yi brings you breakfast, please help me tell Aunt Yi, let Yi Zhonghai return the money I have spent all these years, a lot of it, otherwise don't blame me for not missing my neighborly feelings for many years."

The deaf old lady heard the cruel words released by the stupid pillar, thought of the character of the stupid pillar, and secretly thought in her heart: "It's broken! Broken! It's really going to break this time! This Yi Zhonghai is also really, how can he even dare to swallow this kind of money? ”
