Chapter 93: Borrowing money
"No money, how can there be money, your little sister has no conscience, she went to the city last time, and she didn't even give me the travel expenses before leaving, and she was raised for nothing......"
Qin Jinlian's refusal to borrow money was also expected by the couple, but she still had some expectations in her heart.
"Mom, we won't borrow this money in vain, we will give you an IOU, calculate the interest, and guarantee that it will be repaid with interest within a year."
Even if the two of them wore out their mouths, Qin Jinlian also bit the bullet and refused to borrow it, so before leaving, she encouraged the two to go to the city to find Shen Mingzhu.
Qin Jinlian refused to lend money to the boss, Shen Jianguo didn't say anything at the time, and waited until he returned to the East House to be dissatisfied.
"When the family was separated, you didn't give a penny to the two of them, and now they are making a living and asking you to borrow some money, but you don't want to, your mother's heart is boundless!"
Qin Jinlian was full of grievances, "You think like this, you go outside to take a look, those who are super born, either hide outside and don't even dare to go home, or they are punished and bankrupt, who else can I count on except the belly of the second daughter-in-law?" Do you expect Mingzhu's dead Nizi? You go and ask her to take out the money and pay the fine to the old family, and you ask her if she is willing? ”
Qin Jinlian began to wipe away her tears, "I pinched the money in my hand, didn't I want you to hug your grandson earlier, and I was wrong to plan for your Shen family?" ”
Shen Jianguo didn't eat her for a long time, "Grandson, grandson, you know grandson, what's wrong with granddaughter?" It's a big deal, I'll recruit a door-to-door son-in-law for the eldest girl in the future! ”
"It's easy to say......"
The east house and the west house are close to each other, and Yang Lizhen can hear the quarrel between the two old mouths clearly.
The next day, at the breakfast table, Yang Lizhen just took a bite of noodle soup and ran outside with her mouth covered.
"What's going on?"
Shen Jianguo and Shen Xiangnan, father and son, were still stunned, but Qin Jinlian put down her chopsticks and chased them out in surprise and joy.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law muttered in the courtyard for a long time, and when they came in again, Qin Jinlian was smiling, and Yang Lizhen was shy.
“…… Lizhen is pregnant! ”
Qin Jinlian relied on the experience of those who had come over to analyze it to the top, and Shen Jianguo and Shen Xiangnan were naturally very happy after hearing it.
Yang Lizhen touched her stomach and asked about the gold necklace.
Qin Jinlian agreed, "Don't worry, I'm ready for the money, and I'll take you to buy it tomorrow." ”
"Thank you, Mom."
Yang Lizhen smiled extra sweetly.
Outside the door of the house, Shen Chaobei and Du Juan, who were about to come over and talk to Qin Jinlian again to borrow money, looked at each other, and finally went back silently.
Back in the north house, the two sat cross-legged on the kang, and neither of them spoke.
The eldest daughter was playing with bamboo dragonflies outside the house alone, and she had a lot of fun.
"It's all mothers, why is our mother's heart so hard? The eldest girl is also her own granddaughter, isn't the granddaughter the bloodline of your Shen family? Du Juan finally couldn't help wiping away her tears.
Shen Chaobei was speechless.
In addition to the coldness, it is more of a self-blame and shame that I can't do anything in the face of my daughter-in-law's crying.
"Mom, don't cry ......"
The eldest girl ran in at some point, stepping on the wooden bench along the edge of the kang and trying to climb up the kang.
Du Juan bent down and carried her daughter to the kang.
The eldest girl who sat smoothly in her mother's arms stretched out her delicate little hand to help her mother wipe the tears on her face, and crystal tears gradually accumulated in her eyes like black grapes, and her little mouth was flattened, as if she was going to cry in the next second.
"Mom, don't cry ......"
Du Juan, who was afraid of making her daughter cry, wiped away her tears, and smiled hard: "I didn't cry, it was the sand that got into my eyes......"
"Blow."
After that, he pursed his small mouth and wanted to blow Du Juan's eyes.
Du Juan was also blown by her daughter, and took out a small plastic comb that had broken a few teeth, and shaved her daughter's soft yellow hair smoothly.
Shen Chaobei looked at his daughter-in-law coaxing his daughter, his eyes were soft, and he continued to talk about business, "Or, I'll go to the city again and find Mingzhu to get an idea?" ”
Du Juan's tone was light, "Mingzhu has helped enough, I don't have the face to go to her again." ”
Shen Chaobei sighed.
In the afternoon, Du Juan had eaten, picked up the few eggs at home and prepared to go back to her parents' house to find a way.
Du Juan went out with her front foot, and Qin Jinlian stood at the gate of the courtyard with her back foot, and muttered: "Isn't there still a way to do this, just know that you are worried about the money in my hand......"
It wasn't until it was almost dark that Du Juan came back in a hurry.
"What's going on? Got the money borrowed? ”
Shen Chaobei asked as he handed her water.
Du Juan shook her head bitterly, "After my dad died, my mother relied on my eldest brother to live, my sister-in-law pinched the money tightly, my eldest brother couldn't do anything, and the second brother and third brother didn't have enough money." ”
In this era, in such a poor ditch, whose money is saved by tightening his belt every penny, he is easily reluctant to use it, who is willing to lend it to a sister-in-law who has married.
The next day, when Du Juan was about to go out, it happened that Qin Jinlian and Yang Lizhen were also going out.
Yang Lizhen, who was young, was supported by Qin Jinlian, her mother-in-law, like serving the Queen Mother.
"Guys, are you going to the city?" Qin Jinlian asked knowingly.
Du Juan already had a knot in her heart for Qin Jinlian's mother-in-law, and she was no longer as respectful and flattering as before, so she answered lightly and took the lead in raising her feet and leaving.
Du Juan's attitude made Qin Jinlian a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, she is now with the second family, and in the future, the second family will support her for the elderly, besides, the second daughter-in-law will soon give birth to a big fat grandson.
Thinking of this, she immediately put her discomfort behind her, and happily led Yang Lizhen to the town to buy a gold necklace.
——
"Pearl."
Looking at Du Juan, who was standing outside the door with an embarrassed expression, Shen Mingzhu was not too surprised.
Xu had long had no expectations for Qin Jinlian, so when he heard that Qin Jinlian would rather buy a gold necklace for Yang Lizhen than lend money to Shen Chaobei and his wife to run a business, Shen Mingzhu was surprisingly calm.
Qin Jinlian refused to borrow money, firstly, partially, and secondly, she wanted to pinch her in this way.
She lent the money to Shen Chaobei and his family this time, and next time Qin Jinlian would definitely come to her to borrow money for various reasons.
If she doesn't borrow it, it's going to be a mess.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law borrowed all the money, but the mother didn't borrow it?
"Sister-in-law, I can't borrow this money, but don't worry, I'll give you a way to guarantee that you can borrow money......"
After listening to her method, Du Juan was grateful to Dade and got up to say goodbye.
Shen Mingzhu accepted a few sets of old clothes that Pei Ziheng didn't wear, and wrapped some candies and pastries, and asked Du Juan to bring them back to the eldest girl.
When she got home, Du Juan divided half of the candy and pastries given by Shen Mingzhu and prepared to send them to Qin Jinlian.
Although she has dissatisfaction and complaints about Qin Jinlian in her heart, she will not be less filial to her daughter-in-law, and she will not leave a handle for others.
The weather was good in the afternoon, and Qin Jinlian sat in the courtyard and embroidered a small belly pocket.
Yang Lizhen sat next to her and ate melon seeds, a thin gold necklace around her neck was very eye-catching, and it was difficult for Du Juan to see it.
"Mom, this is something from Mingzhu, I left some for the eldest girl to eat, and the rest for you and Dad."
Qin Jinlian glanced at the things on the small table, held a needle and scraped it on her head, and casually asked Du Juan if she had borrowed money.
