Chapter 20 The Gu family owes one hundred and forty yuan
After lunch, Gu Yuehuai put the leftover braised pork and Gu Ruihuai's bowl of rice on the stove to warm up.
Gu Tinghuai saw it in his eyes, and his heart was soft, although he didn't know what caused his sister's change, but he hoped that this change would last longer, and if it was longer, maybe the life of the family would be much better in the future.
When Gu Zhifeng was drowsy, he saw his daughter coming over with a cup of hot water, respectfully handing it to him, with a serious expression and a look of wanting to speak.
Gu Zhifeng's sleepy insect was scared away at once, and he sat straighter than Gu Yuehuai.
He put the water cup on the table and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" Do you have something to talk to Dad? ”
Gu Tinghuai also looked at Gu Yuehuai, not knowing what kind of trouble she was making.
Gu Yuehuai didn't sell it, looked at Gu Zhifeng, and said word by word: "Dad, don't go to the black market again." ”
She must put an end to her father's tragedy at the root, she will find a way to make money, but the black market must not go again.
When Gu Zhifeng heard this, his expression paused, his lips moved, and he didn't know what to say.
"Ren Tianxiang has already said that Dad often goes to the black market, but they have no evidence now, what we have to do is not to go to the black market again, and refuse to admit it, slowly participate in collective labor, earn work points, and let everyone forget about it."
"Dad, I used to be ignorant, and I will never be again. Our family is a strong laborer, earn a good job, life will always be good, and it is better to live in peace and stability than anything else. ”
Gu Yuehuai's expression was serious, and her voice was even more solemn.
Gu Zhifeng was a little moved, and the fierce man cried, muttering: "Nan Nan has really grown up." ”
"Dad! What she said makes sense, don't go to the black market in the future, it's too risky. Gu Tinghuai echoed.
He originally wanted to find a chance to talk to his sister, as long as he could move her and let her persuade his father, then the matter would be half the success, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, his sister would mention it first.
He was a little emotional for a while, and tears were shining in his eyes.
Their family has been cautious, walking on thin ice, such days are very numb, there is no hope for the future, I don't know when I can see the sun, and the second extreme temperament is also forced out in this way.
It's really time to change, for the better.
Gu Zhifeng raised his hand and touched his head, and was silent for a while before he said in a somewhat lonely tone: "Nannan, our family situation is different. ”
"Dad! Let's ......" Gu Tinghuai frowned, and wanted to say a word of relief, no matter how much debt there is, there is a time to pay it off, as long as you are down-to-earth and stable, you can always pay it off.
Gu Zhifeng waved his hand: "Nan, don't worry about these things, Dad has a clear heart." You're still young, so you don't have to worry about things at home. ”
Gu Yuehuai pursed her lips: "Dad, our family owes money, right?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Zhifeng glared at Gu Tinghuai fiercely, he said not to tell Nan Nan about these bad things at home, did the boss take his words as a deaf ear?
Gu Tinghuai looked innocent, he really didn't say it!
As soon as Gu Zhifeng wanted to open his mouth to prevaricate the past, he listened to Gu Yuehuai and said: "I know, our family borrowed money from the uncle and the second aunt because of building a house, I know who they are, and the interest is not less, right?" ”
Yes, her father is not an only child, he has a brother and a sister, but he is not biological.
Although her grandfather is a landlord, he is an infatuated person, and after marrying her grandmother, he is single-minded, the backyard is clean, and he doesn't want a concubine, but unfortunately the two have been loving for many years, and they have never conceived a child.
Later, I heard that adopting a child would be blessed and would bring a biological child to the family.
Her grandfather adopted three children, a boy and two girls, that is, her uncle and two aunts.
Soon after the adoption of the child, her grandmother was really pregnant, that is, her father.
When the new society came, the uncle and the two aunts cried bitterly because they were not biological, saying that they couldn't help themselves, and they were nominally young masters and young ladies in the landlord's family, but they were actually exploited, and their lives were worse than those of the next people.
The three became victims for a while, and the local leaders even assigned them jobs in the city out of sympathy.
And her father, as the landlord's own child, naturally stayed in the countryside to work.
Although the uncle and aunt are wolf-hearted, after all, they have grown up with her father since they were children, and they have been in contact for so many years.
Because of her good fate, the eldest aunt jumped into the dragon gate with her aunt who became an official, and lived in the compound of the county revolutionary committee.
She was ashamed of the days when she was a young lady in the landlord's house, not to mention her father Gu Zhifeng, even if the uncle and the second aunt have always loved to ignore it, naturally, it is impossible for the family to borrow money from her.
Gu Tinghuai smiled bitterly: "Nannan, you ......"
Gu Yuehuai looked up and down at his rammed earth house, pretended to inspect the specifications and materials, and said, "How much do you owe?" A hundred bucks? How much is the interest? Twenty? Or thirty? ”
Naturally, she knew the real amount.
At the beginning, it cost 200 yuan to build a house, part of which they earned on the black market, and the other part came from the uncle and the second aunt, one of whom borrowed fifty, but the annual interest of each person was five yuan, a proper usury!
Over the years, because she is not angry, not only has the debt not been paid off, but she owes more and more.
If she didn't miscalculate, over time, this year's debt had reached one hundred and forty yuan, and when ordinary workers earned more than ten or twenty yuan a month, one hundred and forty yuan was like a mountain pressing on the back of the Gu family.
The life of the uncle and the second aunt since childhood is not to say that they have clothes to reach out for food to open their mouths, which is far more nourishing than the life of ordinary tenant farmers, but they are not grateful, but it is normal for people to die for themselves, and it is normal for people to fly separately when disaster comes.
The personalities of the two are not vicious, they are just small citizens.
In more than a month, it will be time for those who ask for debts to come to the door.
The aunt's two daughters were going to the countryside to join the queue, and they were going to hold a farewell banquet in a state-run hotel, and invited the uncle and the second aunt, and in order to take the opportunity to cling to the aunt's family, the two were ready to take out 50 yuan to give to the two nieces who were about to go to the countryside.
Of course, it is only natural to repay debts.
They owe money to the uncle and the second aunt, and no matter what the reason is, her family will always have to pay it back.
Even if it's not for debt, it's time to prepare for the upcoming year.
This year is a famine year, she has to prepare food early, and when the time comes, the family will not be able to make ends meet, and like the previous life, she will be in the bed with big eyes and small eyes, and she can only drink water to satisfy her hunger.
In the New Year of the previous life, his father Gu Zhifeng was already in prison.
Therefore, this year's New Year, she not only wants her family to be fed and drunk, but also wants everyone to be reunited!
Tian Jing's matter is put aside for the time being, and dealing with the current matter is the most important thing.
After arranging her family, she has time to play slowly with Tian Jing.
