Chapter 14: The Little Thing of Borrowing Money

Wen Lan saw Lin Nianhe's smile again.

The familiar, mad, enamel jar laugh.

"What you said is really reasonable, let me be empowered."

Lin Nianhe looked at Wang Xue with a smile, "Since you said so, I believe that you will also selflessly dedicate yourself to 'everyone', so be it, although I have no friendship with Comrade Miao Yulan, and I didn't speak before she opened her mouth to borrow money, I still have to carry forward my styleβ€”β€”"

She glanced at Miao Yulan, her voice was not loud, but the words were sonorous: "I'm here, Wang Xue will borrow as much as you want, I will borrow you as much." ”

Wang Xue was instantly embarrassed.

Miao Yulan's family background is very clear to her.

The Miao family favored sons over daughters, and gave birth to four daughters before having a son. In the eyes of the Miao family's parents, their daughters are all grass mustards, and Miao Yulan's three sisters all ask for a high bride price when they get married, which is similar to selling their daughters, just to save money for the bride price for their youngest son.

Miao Yulan came to the countryside instead of her younger brother, and fortunately, otherwise her parents would have married her off for money.

In fact, Miao Yulan's life in the countryside is not easy, like most of the female comrades in the brigade, she can barely earn six cents a day, and the food in exchange is just enough for her to eat alone.

But even so, Miao Yulan will send half of her own grain after the autumn harvest every year.

As for herself...... Pick wild vegetables, pick up mountain goods, drink cold water, and don't die of hunger.

She grew up in such a family, and she had already been taught the twisted idea of dedicating her life to her brother, and she never felt that there was anything wrong with this, and she felt sweet as honey when she was hungry.

Wang Xue knew Miao Yulan's situation, and even knew that it was impossible to return the money if it was lent out.

Of course, she couldn't lend money to Miao Yulan not only for this reason, but more importantly......

Neither did she.

In addition to being able to eat more than Miao Yulan, Wang Xue's pockets are as clean as ever.

Seeing that Wang Xue's eyes were uncertain, Lin Nianhe hooked his lips and chuckled: "Comrade Wang Xue, how much money do you plan to support Comrade Miao?" Comrade Miao's family is in an urgent matter of marrying a daughter-in-law, let's scrape together the money, and send it to the captain's uncle, I believe he will be willing to help remit the money. ”

Lin Nianhe looked intimate, but what he was thinking in his heart was-

Don't want to play with me about the return of the gentry's money and the people's money!

Wang Xue probably thought of this layer as well, and was speechless.

Miao Yulan screamed, like a young bird that couldn't find a place, she threw herself into Wang Xue's arms, and begged: "Wang Xue, Wang Xue!" You help me, please! Otherwise, I really won't be able to live......"

Wang Xue hurriedly comforted her, but she didn't have time to raise her profile again.

Wang Shumei pushed Lin Nianhe to the door, dragged Wen Lan again, and said lightly: "It seems that Comrade Wang Xue still needs some time to think about it, let's go back and rest first, I delayed my work in the afternoon, but the whole educated youth has no face." ”

Lin Nianhe chuckled, and left a sentence before leaving: "You discuss the number and tell me, let's find the captain." ”

Lin Nianhe was a little puzzled, she was very sensitive to people's emotions, and she was very sure that what she saw from Miao Yulan's eyes just now was a strong fear.

What was she afraid of?

Lin Nianhe couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother to think about it carefully.

When Lin Nianhe went out, he saw that most of the male intellectuals who were still gathered in the courtyard just now had returned to the house, leaving only Sun Guanghui, who was still standing by the door with a worried face.

He asked, "How is Comrade Miao Yulan?" Is there a way to fix it? ”

Lin Nianhe looked at him with complicated eyes, and pondered for a moment before saying: "She asked me to borrow 200 yuan, but I didn't have it, and Comrade Wang Xue advised us to carry forward our style and help each other." ”

Sun Guanghui nodded again and again: "It should!" ”

After saying that, he went back to the house, and after a while he came out with a handful of money, neatly folded, and of any denomination.

"This is all my belongings, thirty-two yuan eight, you can help me get it to Comrade Miao Yulan!"

Sun Guanghui looked sincere, if it weren't for the difference between men and women, it is estimated that he could directly stuff the money into Lin Nianhe's hands.

Lin Nianhe was completely speechless.

She wanted to write a letter to the National Academy of Sciences, suggesting that they bring back an endangered bastard like Sun Guanghui to study it.

His presence is a miracle of life!

Lin Nianhe was really powerless to complain, and waved his hand tiredly: "I'm very tired, I'll go back first." ”

Sun Guanghui didn't understand why Lin Nianhe didn't accept the money, he turned to look at Wang Shumei, and handed the hand that took the money forward.

Wang Shumei couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and said in a low voice: "You are stupid!" Can this matter be solved by ten or eight dollars? What's more, how can a sister have a foreign debt for her younger brother's marriage? Now borrowing money is not helping her at all, but hurting her! ”

Sun Guanghui was confused when he heard it: "Why? Why is helping to be harmful? ”

Wen Lan on the side also found a sense of superiority in IQ at this time, and disliked Sun Guanghui: "Hey, tsk...... You melon peel. With that, she rolled her eyelids and went back to the house.

Sun Guanghui was very confused, very innocent, and wanted to know what was going on.

Wang Shumei saw his virtue, sighed helplessly, dragged him aside and whispered: "Whose son will ask for the bride price for the daughter in the countryside when he gets married?" It is impossible for his family to repay this money for Comrade Miao, the more she borrows, the heavier the debt, how can she repay it as a girl? How to marry in the future? ”

Sun Guanghui pondered for a while, and finally came around the strength, he frowned and said, "Then you should tell her!" ”

Wang Shumei glanced at him: "You can go, we don't know her well, so we can't say this." ”

Sun Guanghui wanted to ask what to say, but saw that Wang Shumei was also gone.

He scratched his head, feeling that this should not be said by him, a gay man, and pondered for a while, but did not come up with a suitable word, and went back to the house.

After Lin Nianhe returned to the house, he bolted the door, tightened the curtains, scrubbed his body, climbed onto the kang, and took a fascia gun to massage his sore muscles.

Before going to bed, she applied a thick layer of peppermint paste to her palm, and the swelling pain in her palm was relieved, and she closed her eyes comfortably.

Lin Nianhe didn't want to worry about the affairs in the front yard, Miao Yulan suddenly asked her to borrow money, and she only thought that this was the family history of the Miao family.

She doesn't plan to care, but it doesn't hinder others from wanting to let her go.

"Oh, look at Miao Zhiqing's swollen eyes, something happened at home?"

When I got to work in the afternoon, an aunt noticed Miao Yulan's red and swollen eyes.

Miao Yulan is also a capable person, no matter how bitter she is, she didn't delay eating or going to work, obviously because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to earn today's work.

She was here, but she didn't have any intention of working, and when her aunt asked, her tears were sprinkled on the fertile black earth like beads of broken threads.

"Hey, what are you crying about? If you have something, just say it. ”

There is no need for Miao Yulan to say this, Wang Xue is very kind to finish saying everything that should be said and what should not be said for her:

"Yulan's younger brother is getting married, but the bride price is still a little short, and the uncle and aunt really can't do it, so they wrote to ask Yulan if she can make some of it...... The aunts all know that Yulan is usually the most filial, and a grain of rice is eager to break eight petals to eat, how can there be any surplus? ”

"But this is Yulan's only brother, so how can you ignore it?"

"It's also my fault that I don't have the ability to help Yulan, so she has to talk to Lin Zhiqing......"

When the aunts listened to the words, they didn't realize that there was anything wrong.

Although "equality between men and women" and "women can hold up half the sky" have been propagated for a long time, the deep-rooted idea of inheritance makes it difficult for people to change their thinking.

Especially in the village, most of the bride price is twenty or thirty yuan, and in the past few years, twenty catties of cornmeal can marry back a yellow flower girl.

Because of this, the aunts didn't think that the Miao family's parents were at fault, and they didn't think that Miao Yulan would not be able to repay the money.

Twenty or thirty yuan, a month's or two months' salary for people in the city, and the savings can be repaid soon.

The aunts smacked for a long time, and comforted kindly: "Miao Zhiqing, don't cry, isn't this matter solved?" Go to work, don't think about that, and you'll be able to pay it back slowly. ”

Miao Yulan's "wow" cry even more fiercely.

Wang Xue glanced at Lin Nianhe's direction: "What to solve, she refuses to borrow it!" ”

The aunts looked at each other and turned their heads to look in the direction of Lin Nianhe.

In the cornfield, the little lump was moving slowly forward.

Under the emerald green corn leaves, a touch of red dots dotted it.
