Chapter 4 Borrowing Money

Niu Guohua looked at Wang Long's expression constantly changing, and thought to himself that this kid didn't know what to do, so it was the main thing to send this kid away quickly, but this would have to wait until Luo Song came.

In order to deal with the trouble in front of him, Niu Guohua looked at Wang Lung with the mentality that you don't say anything.

In the past ten years, Wang Lung has not only been at home, but also to Niu Guohua's house to let off steam. The entire Muchuan County belongs to Niu Guohua and he is most familiar with, if you want to get money from Niu Guohua, it is estimated that there is no play, instead of thinking of a way to do it, it is better to ask him directly, and if you don't give it, you won't leave.

Wang Lung made up his mind with a wicked smile on his face, and this expression fell into Niu Guohua's eyes, which was simply like the life talisman of Lord Yama.

Wang Lung coughed dryly, cleared his throat and said, "Andy, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, you must help me if I am in trouble now." ”

"Is it difficult? What is the difficulty? Didn't I let you go to Jinan? What else is there to do?" Niu Guohua asked puzzled.

Wang Lung sighed deeply and said: "You helped me think that Jinan may be my hometown, I am very grateful to you, but you also know that the old ghost in my family is going to die, although I have been given a year of vacation this time, but I have not been given a penny, what do you say this can I do?, you can't find relatives while asking for food, right?"

Niu Guohua felt half cold in his heart when he heard Wang Lung say this, and he felt that this kid had been playing for a long time, just trying to borrow money from me.

Niu Guohua frowned, but he had some doubts in his heart, he was still not sure whether Wang Lung really wanted to borrow money, or under the guise of borrowing money, after pondering for a while, he suddenly thought of a question, looked up and said: "Xiaolong, no, didn't you just say that you were giving me money? Why are you looking for me to borrow money again?"

Wang Lung scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hehe, it was a joke with you just now, this time I came out, the old ghost really didn't give me a penny, Qing'er secretly gave me all her savings for more than ten years, but ......"

Before Wang Lung finished speaking, Niu Guohua continued: "More than ten years of savings are not enough for you, what do you want to do?"

Wang Lung showed a bitter gourd face when he heard this, and he didn't bother to explain to the other party, so he directly took out the oil paper bag that Qing'er gave him and spread it on the small table.

Unpacking the oil paper bag, Wang Lung said helplessly: "Look, this is Qing'er's savings for more than ten years." ”

Niu Guohua looked at the pile of money that Wang Lung had spread out, his eyes widened, and he smiled casually and began to shake his head: "This is Qing'er's savings for more than ten years......?" Isn't it? It's a bit miserable, isn't it?"

Wang Lung embarrassed his shoulders and nodded painfully: "Yes, for more than ten years, I admire Qing'er for being able to save so much money by the side of that iron rooster, but now such a pile of money is basically useless to me, and it will take half a day to buy a baked cake! ”

Niu Guohua looked at Wang Lung sympathetically, in fact, he felt even more pity in his heart, reached out and stroked the change on the table, shook his head and said, "This is the money that your kid said he wanted to give me at the beginning, right?"

Wang Lung smiled undeniably.

Niu Guohua continued: "Hey, I can't ask for this money, this is Qing'er's hard work for more than ten years, you kid should put it away, if I take it, I won't have a good time in this life." ”

When Wang Lung heard Niu Guohua say no, he was in a hurry: "Don't, I'll keep it useless and take up space." Just take it. ”

Niu Guohua thought to himself: "Xiaolong, this kid is very arrogant every day, although there is not much money, but this is also Qing'er's hard work for more than ten years, and it will be ruined if he stays in his kid's hands." ”

Niu Guohua pondered for a moment and said to Wang Long: "Okay, I'll take this money for the time being, I don't want it myself, help Qing'er keep it, and I'll return it to her when she comes next time." ”

Wang Lung smiled when he saw Niu Guohua accept it, thinking that he was afraid that you would not accept it.

After Niu Guohua put all the money on the small table, Wang Lung pulled Niu Guohua to the small table again and sat down.

Niu Guohua wondered, thinking to himself what happened to this kid today?

"What's the matter? I also took this money, you kid can't be honest. Besides, Luo Song will be there soon, and when the time comes, I will see you like a bear, what if people don't take you?" Niu Guohua said angrily.

Wang Lung was also reasonable when he heard Niu Guohua say this, thinking that people were under the eaves and had to bow his head. It's better to be honest, but if you think about it again, it's not a way to have no money, in case Luo Song comes and leaves, then you can't get money from Niu Guohua.

Wang Lung shook his head helplessly, pretending to be pitiful and said to Niu Guohua: "Hehe, Hua...... Andy, you can take care of that Qing'er's money yourself, it's a burden to me anyway. Seeing that the other party did not react, Wang Lung continued to say: "Hehe, this ...... You also received the money, do you think you can help solve my difficulties?"

Niu Guohua now understands that Wang Long, this kid has been on vacation for a year, and he has no money on him, so he can't go, and he began to pretend that he was sending me money, but in fact, he wanted to borrow money from me. With my understanding of him for more than ten years and his style, if I don't lend it to him, eighty percent of them will not leave.

Wang Lung saw that Niu Guohua had not spoken, his eyebrows stretched for a while, and he didn't know what the other party was thinking.

Niu Guohua hadn't paid attention to it yet, and he kept thinking in his heart that if he lent it to Wang Long, he was afraid that it would be a meat bun and beat the dog, which was really not easy to do.

After thinking about it for a long time, Niu Guohua felt that it was better to lend him some first, but the old man didn't leave him any money after all, and it was not appropriate to borrow too much.

Niu Guohua was thinking about it, but Wang Lung on the side was not happy, and shouted at the other party: "Hey, I said, borrow it, borrow it, don't borrow it, you don't borrow it, you fart after a long time?

Wang Lung shouted for a long time to see that Niu Guohua still ignored him, and he was so angry that he really wanted to beat the other party.

"Okay, okay, don't borrow it, alas, it's really hard! I'll figure it out myself when I get to Jinan." ”

Niu Guohua made up his mind, and when he heard Wang Lung say this, he thought: Okay, change the threat, when you go to Jinan, you won't go to borrow it from my daughter-in-law.

Niu Guohua said angrily: "You kid, just play these tricks for me all day long, it's not a question of whether to lend you money or not, the old man didn't give you money on a big vacation, if you take the money from me and leave, you are happy, but have you ever thought that if the old man knows, will I be in trouble?"

Wang Lung was stunned for a moment, and wondered in his heart, what does this have to do with the old ghost?

Just when Wang Lung was stunned, Niu Guohua continued: "But for the sake of your poor kid, I can sponsor you privately, but don't talk big, say, how much do you want?"

As soon as Wang Long heard that Niu Guohua was willing to borrow money, he immediately grabbed the other party's arm and shook it: "Are you serious? Hehe, oops, that's great." ”

Niu Guohua knocked off Wang Lung's hand and said, "Okay, it's true, you say, how much do you want to borrow?"

After Wang Lung confirmed that Niu Guohua really planned to lend him money, he slowly got up and touched his chin with his right hand to cross the steps back and forth.

He was pondering, how much should he borrow? If he borrows less, it is not enough, and if he borrows too much, the other party will definitely not be happy. According to what Niu Guohua said just now, lend me some appropriately, how much is this appropriate?

Wang Lung couldn't think of a reason, so he felt a bottom line in his heart, turned around and smiled at Niu Guohua and said: "Hehe, Andy, it's the first time I've gone out, and I don't know how much to borrow, you have more experience than me in this area, how much do you think I can borrow?"

Niu Guohua was happy, and this kid kicked the ball to me.

"This is you borrowing money, and I am not begging you to borrow money, if I were to say, I would probably not borrow a penny. ”

When Wang Lung heard Niu Guohua say this, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Don't, I'm not inexperienced! ”

Niu Guohua looked at one of Wang Lung's fingers and asked, "One hundred?"

Wang Lung immediately shook his head.

"Ten bucks?"

Wang Lung was not happy when he heard it: "How can there be a number of backwards, you say it up." ”

Niu Guohua looked at it and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll lend you a thousand, but you kid have to save some flowers." ”

As soon as Niu Guohua finished speaking, Wang Lung immediately explained: "Hehe, it's not a thousand, you add a little more!"

Niu Guohua looked at Wang Lung in surprise and said, "Plus, you kid won't want to borrow 10,000, right?"

Wang Lung smiled: "Let's borrow this first, and I'll figure it out myself later." ”

When Niu Guohua heard that Wang Lung really wanted to borrow 10,000 yuan, he immediately said angrily: "You kid is really a lion, you think I opened a bank, and I still have 10,000 yuan, not a dime." ”

Wang Lung saw that Niu Guohua was really angry, and hurriedly said: "Don't, look at it, I'm going to wander outside all year round, and you don't want to see me living on the streets because I don't have money, can't I give you an IOU, so let's borrow me 10,000, and I will pay you back 20,000 when the time comes...... Oh no...... No...... Thirty thousand. ”

Niu Guohua's lungs were about to explode, and he thought: You can't be angry, you can't do anything with this kid.

Niu Guohua calmed down and said: "Ten thousand, absolutely impossible, at most one thousand, love or not!"

Wang Lung saw that Niu Guohua only gave 1,000 at most, and the grievance in his heart was too far from the bottom line in his heart.

The bored Wang Lung muttered to himself: "A thousand, what is enough?"

Seeing Wang Lung's aggrieved look, Niu Guohua said calmly: "Xiaolong, what do you want so much money for, after you arrive in Jinan, your sister-in-law will take care of you, you don't need so much money, besides, you don't want to do something by yourself this year, don't always rely on others for relief, as the saying goes, it's good to be at home for a thousand days, it's difficult to go out, you have to learn to be independent, if I really give you 10,000 yuan, I don't worry about it myself, and the old man can't say anything." ”

Seeing that Wang Lung kept his head down and didn't speak, Niu Guohua thought that Wang Lung should understand what he said, but he didn't know that Wang Lung had something to think about in his heart.

Seeing that Wang Lung didn't speak, Niu Guohua wanted to let the other party think about it for himself, and take advantage of this effort to get him money.

Niu Guohua got up and entered the back room.

Looking at Niu Guohua's back, Wang Lung thought: A thousand is a thousand, it's better than nothing, in case there is really no money, alas...... We'll talk about that then.

As soon as Niu Guohua came out of the back room, Wang Lung saw him holding a wad of money in his left hand and a small cloth bag in his right hand.

It's not a bag, it's a piece of cloth that wraps something, to be exact.

Wang Lung thought that it might be something that Niu Guohua asked him to give to his daughter-in-law, but he didn't think about it.

Niu Guohua sat next to Wang Long with his things, first handed the 1,000 yuan in his left hand to Wang Long's eyes and said: "Xiaolong, after you go to Jinan City, help me give this 1,000 yuan to your sister-in-law, let her take good care of her father over there, let her rest assured about the affairs of the family, everything is with me." ”

Wang Lung was stunned and took the 1,000 yuan in his hand, looked down, raised his head and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you say that this 1,000 yuan was lent to me, how did it become for my sister-in-law? You don't want your sister-in-law to keep it for me, do you?"

Looking at Wang Lung's puzzled eyes, Niu Guohua smiled and said, "I won't borrow your 1,000 yuan." ”

As soon as Wang Long heard that Niu Guohua was not borrowing, he jumped up from the horse.

The angry Wang Lung couldn't stop pointing at the other party with one hand: "You...... You're too shameless, aren't you? Didn't we just say that it was good? Why don't you borrow it again? Let me tell you, if you don't borrow, Lao Tzu won't ...... Walk...... No, I won't give this 1,000 yuan to my sister-in-law, I keep the flowers for myself. ”

Niu Guohua saw Wang Lung's anxious appearance, and his heart blossomed, thinking that this kid also had a day when he was played by me, God opened his eyes.

Ha Lu Ha ...... The beauty in Niu Guohua's heart.

Wang Lung looked at Niu Guohua's gloating look, and he couldn't wait to slap his ears.

Damn, fooled, this dead boy dares to play Lao Tzu, you have a good look......

This is the first time Niu Guohua has successfully played Wang Long, and he was so arrogant for a while, he laughed so hard that even tears flowed out.

Touching his tears, Niu Guohua secretly glanced at Wang Lung, and the other party's face was almost purple at this time, just like a violent bull, with a sudden bubbling nose.

Niu Guohuale was also happy enough, and felt that he couldn't make trouble, Wang Long, this kid was not a loser, and he didn't have good fruit to eat if he was in a hurry.

After calming down, Niu Guohua said: "Xiaolong, okay, don't be angry, you listen to me first." ”

Wang Lung stared, he wanted to hear how the other party explained, for the first time in his life, he was played by the other party, and he was definitely unhappy.

"I didn't blame you either, the 1,000 yuan I just gave you was indeed for you to give to my daughter-in-law, and I really can't give you the 1,000 yuan you want to borrow. ”

Wang Lung looked at Niu Guohua with a sneer: "You'd better give me a reason that I'm convinced of, otherwise...... Hmph......"

Niu Guohua smiled and shook his head slightly and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, you listen to me and explain it to you." ”

It turned out that when Niu Guohua entered the back room just now and was about to get money for Wang Lung, he saw a package from under the money box, which was the cloth bag he had just taken out.

This bag has some origins, it was handed over to him by the old ghost when he came to Niu Guohua's house some time ago, and the old ghost had confessed at that time that if Wang Lung came to Niu Guohua to borrow money, he must not lend it to him, as long as he handed over this bag to him.

Niu Guohua handed the cloth bag to Wang Long: "It's not that I don't want to lend you money, this is what the old man meant, I can't help it, you open it quickly and take a look, what's in it?"
