Putting aside Xu Damao's depression, Yan Jiekuang was in a good mood.
There were many benefits to having a small gold mine in the Green Lotus Space.
Although it had yet to develop into a small world, it was becoming more and more complete.
"Liu Haizhong must have taken gold from the Lou family.”Yan Jiekuang thought that it would be even better if he could get some more small yellow croakers.
Xu Damao didn't dare to hide the small yellow croakers at home, and Liu Haizhong probably didn't dare to either. He just didn't know where Liu Haizhong hid the small yellow croakers.
He could only stare at Liu Haizhong more often.
Tonight, Shazhu's sister, He Yushui, came back.
He Yushui usually lived and ate at the office, and she would often go to her boyfriend's house to do some housework.
Speaking of which, He Yushui was also a weirdo. She had never done any housework for Silly Zhu. After she got a boyfriend, she did a lot of housework.
She was not concerned about finding a partner for her brother, but she was very active in her own matters.
If He Yushui had any resentment towards Silly Zhu, it really wasn't. It could only be said that she was stupid.
Yi Zhonghai, Silly Zhu, Qin Huiru, the Deaf Old Lady, and the others would have noticed if He Yushui had any resentment towards Silly Zhu. It was unlikely that He Yushui's status would surpass everyone else in the quad.
For example, the Deaf Grandmother could see through Yi Zhonghai's thoughts and Qin Huiru's schemes.
When she got home, He Yushui saw her brother drinking wine and eating peanuts. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
It would be strange if Silly Zhu was in a good mood. He used to be the head of the canteen in the factory, but now he was assigned to clean the toilets.
Seeing his arch-enemy, Xu Damao, become the Deputy Section Chief and even get along well with Yu Haitang, coupled with Qin Huairu's change in attitude, Silly Zhu was in a bad mood.
Seeing his sister return, Silly Zhu was also quite happy.
"Brother, I'm getting married next month." He Yushui said.
"That's good. You've been dating for more than a year. You're finally married.”Silly Zhu laughed.
He Yushui's partner was a patrol officer. Shazhu had seen him before. He was a decent person, but he rarely came to the courtyard house. He said that he was busy with work.
"What about my dowry?" He Yu asked.
Now that they were getting married, the man would pay the betrothal gift and the woman would pay the dowry.
The smile on Silly Zhu's face stiffened. He didn't have much money now. His monthly salary was only a dozen yuan.
"Didn't I buy you a bicycle?”Silly Zhu said.
Hearing this, He Yushui's expression changed. Her dowry was just a bicycle?
Moreover, He Yushui had been riding the bicycle for a year.
"I don't care. If my dowry doesn't have a sewing machine, I won't acknowledge you as my brother in the future.”He Yushui's face was cold.
The bicycle, sewing machine, watch, and radio were the most valuable items.
The bicycle and the watch were both over 100 yuan, the radio was about 200 yuan, and the sewing machine was about 300 yuan.
In the past, Silly Zhu's monthly salary was thirty-seven and a half yuan. If he saved up about thirty yuan a month, he would be able to buy a sewing machine in a year. However, most of his money had been used to support Qin Huiru.
"You're making things difficult for me." Silly Zhu smiled bitterly.
"You earn 37.50 yuan a month. After so many years, can't you afford a sewing machine?”He Yushui didn't think that Silly Zhu was poor, she only thought that Silly Zhu was stingy.
Silly Zhu started working when he was in his teens. He was almost 32 years old. When he first started working, he didn't get much salary, but after that, he started to get more.
In addition, even though He Daqing followed a widow to protect the city, he still sent three yuan back every month. He only stopped sending money when Silly Zhu was 25 years old.
Although Shazhu often helped the Jia family and smoked and drank, He Yushui didn't believe that he didn't have the money to buy a sewing machine.
If He Yushui's dowry was the bicycle she was riding now, she would not do it. It would make her unable to raise her head in her in-laws 'family.
"I used them all." Silly Zhu looked embarrassed.
"Anyway, I don't care. My dowry is at least a sewing machine.”
"Your Sister Qin's dowry is only a basket of eggs and a few pounds of pork. You're asking for too much if you're not satisfied with a bicycle.”Silly Zhu said.
In fact, it was already good enough to have a bicycle as a dowry in the city. If it was in the countryside, it would be even more amazing. However, why would the rain not dry?
Now, He Yushui had lost her temper, which made Silly Zhu helpless.
He Yushui was very domineering in front of Shazhu, and Shazhu indulged her sister. She didn't hit or scold her, and at most, she would say a few words. Once Shazhu said anything about He Yushui, He Yushui felt like she had been wronged.
He Yushui was like this because of Silly Zhu.
The Jia family's nest of ingrates also had Silly Zhu's indulgence. He had reaped what he sowed.
In the quad, other than the Deaf Old Lady, not many people sympathized with Silly Zhu.
"The city is different from the countryside. Besides, it's not like before. I've been riding a bicycle to work for a year. If you say that this bicycle is my dowry, my colleagues at work will laugh at me.”
"What kind of brother are you?"
"You don't care about me at all."
As she spoke, He Yushui actually cried. Then, she returned to her room and slammed the door.
Silly Zhu was having a headache. He was already in a bad mood, and now it was even worse.
After thinking about it, Shazhu decided to find a way to get a sewing machine for He Yushui's dowry. However, he didn't have the money to sew plane tickets.
Next, Silly Zhu went to look for Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai's monthly salary was ninety-nine yuan. He was a level-eight fitter, so he should have a sewing ticket and money. Therefore, Silly Zhu wanted to borrow it.
Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu were in the middle court and were only a few steps away.
"An elder and an auntie."
Even though Yi Zhonghai was no longer a master, Silly Zhu was used to calling him that and did not change his tone.
Because of how Silly Zhu had always called Yi Zhonghai a master, Liu Haizhong had a lot of opinions about Silly Zhu.
When others saw Liu Haizhong calling out " First Master " or " Deputy Section Chief Liu ", it would be strange if Liu Haizhong didn't have a problem with Silly Zhu.
"Now that First Master is in the backyard, you can't just call him that.”Sun Guihua kindly said to Silly Zhu.
"The tail of a rabbit in bangs can't grow.”Silly Zhu said disdainfully.
"What do you want?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
"First Uncle, my sister is getting married next month. She wants a sewing machine as her dowry. You know my current situation. Can you lend me a sewing plane ticket and 300 yuan? I'll definitely pay you back in the future.”
Yi Zhonghai and Sun Guihua fell silent when Silly Zhu spoke.
Yi Zhonghai only had one sewing ticket.
A sewing machine ticket could be exchanged for at least tens of yuan in Pigeon City.
And Silly Zhu not only needed to borrow the sewing plane tickets, but he also needed to borrow 300 yuan.
Yi Zhonghai did have more than 1,000 yuan, but it was his old couple's retirement money.
Silly Zhu was a man of his word. He promised to pay back double in the future. As long as he had it, he would definitely be good. But if he didn't, he would be powerless.
"Silly Zhu! I have a plane ticket for sewing, but don't ask me to lend it to you. I'll give it to you, but I don't have much money, so I can only lend you 50 yuan.”Yi Zhonghai said.
"Old Yi usually gives a lot of money to the Jia family. In addition, my health is not good. I need a lot of money to take medicine every month, and I don't have a job.”Sun Guihua said.
Hearing Yi Zhonghai and Sun Guihua's words, Silly Zhu expressed his understanding.
Yi Zhonghai was able to give her a sewing plane ticket and even borrowed 50 yuan. In Silly Zhu's eyes, he was already a good person.
Hence, Silly Pillar was extremely grateful.
Then, Sun Guihua went to get the sewing plane tickets and money.
"Thank you, First Uncle. Thank you, First Aunt.”Silly Zhu.
However, he was still short of 250.
After leaving Yi Zhonghai's house, Silly Zhu thought about it and went to the Jia family's house to look for Qin Huairu. He wanted to borrow some from Qin Huairu.
"Silly Zhu, too. After Yushui graduated and went to work, he was busy buying a bicycle.”Yi Zhonghai shook his head.
"Yushui is a little greedy. If a bicycle is not enough as a dowry, why would he want a sewing machine?”Sun Guihua added.
Speaking of which, Yi Zhonghai liked He Shuiyu more because she was simple-minded and did not care about her brother's marriage.
When Silly Zhu arrived at the Jia family's residence, Qin Huiru was collecting the soles of shoes.
In the past, Jia Zhang was the sole seller, but Jia Zhang went to jail for speculation.
The three children were a waste of time, so Qin Huairu could only add a little more.
"Sister Qin, can you lend me some money?”Silly Zhu was thick-skinned, but he still braced himself.
Qin Huairu was stunned. She had always been the one borrowing money from Silly Zhu, and today, Silly Zhu was actually borrowing money from her.
"What's wrong?" Qin Huairu asked.
" Yushui is getting married next month, and she wants a sewing machine as her dowry…" Silly Zhu explained the situation. He also mentioned that Yi Zhonghai had given him a sewing plane ticket and borrowed fifty yuan, but he was still short of two hundred and fifty yuan. He hoped that Qin Huairu could borrow some.
"Rainwater is too immature. She already has a bicycle, why would she need a sewing machine?”Qin Huairu said.
As for asking Qin Huairu to borrow money, he was overthinking it.
Qin Huairu was like a pixiu who only entered but never left.
Qin Huairu wouldn't be generous even if she returned to her parents 'home for the New Year.
Of course, Qin Huairu wouldn't refuse to lend the money. Instead, she would talk about how difficult it was for the Jia family, how she had to raise three children, and how the Jia Zhangshi had been fined for speculating.
Silly Zhu left in disappointment. He had thought that Qin Huairu would at least lend him some money, but he had overestimated Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu would not lend him a single cent.
Next, Silly Zhu looked for someone else. He didn't look for Liu Haizhong or Xu Damao because he knew that Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao wouldn't lend him anything.
After thinking for a while, Silly Zhu went to look for the Deaf Old Lady.
The deaf old lady still had some money, but not too much.
When Shazhu told the Deaf Old Lady about the situation, the Deaf Old Lady said Shazhu again, but she knew that Shazhu could not change.
In the end, the old lady still lent a hundred yuan to Silly Zhu.
The old lady only had a little over a hundred yuan in her private savings, and lending it to Silly Zhu was not bad.
Yi Zhonghai had borrowed fifty yuan, and the old lady had borrowed a hundred yuan. She still needed another hundred and fifty yuan to buy a sewing machine.
Silly Zhu could only continue to borrow money.
Except for Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, Silly Zhu had borrowed everyone in the courtyard.
Silly Zhu had also come to the Yan family to borrow money.
Everyone from the Yan Family looked at each other.
"This idiot is really weird." Yan Jiekuang was speechless.
"Third Uncle, no, Second Uncle, can you give me some money?”Silly Zhu said.
