However, when she thought of the debt she owed Du Laosi, Xue Guixiang's heart became heavy again. Even if she could sell it for 50 cents a day, it would only be 15 yuan a month. It was still far from 150 yuan!
Moreover, the pears were not ripe yet. They were selling pears that had fallen to the ground. Who could guarantee that dozens of pears would fall from the trees every day? They could not possibly pick the fruits on the trees in advance just to make money, right?
She sighed." I'll write another letter to your aunt. Tomorrow, you and Zhou Jin will go to town to mail it. When she transfers the money, we can pay back Du Laosi's debt. You and Zhou Jin won't have to rack your brains to make money."”
"Mom, don't write anymore. I can still think of a way after the pears are sold out. As long as I'm here, I can't let Du Laosi ride on our necks and shit.”
Cai An 'an felt that Zhou Jin's aunt was not willing to lend the Zhou family money at all. Otherwise, she would not be angry if she did not even reply. What did it have to do with her if other people had money? It was her duty if they were willing to lend the money. At most, they would not interact with each other in the future.
Xue Guixiang smiled bitterly in her heart. Her daughter-in-law was good in every way, but she loved to brag. Du Laosi was a famous scoundrel in the village. How could a little girl like her fight with him?
At this moment, the corn porridge in the pot was ready. Xue Guixiang didn't say anything else and called the two of them over for dinner. Dinner was very simple. Each person had a pancake and a bowl of porridge, and there was a plate of salsa in the middle.
After dinner, Cai Anan and Zhou Jin went to bed early. There was no electricity in the village, so staying up late would waste lamp oil!
At this moment, Xue Guiqin and her family were eating in the family building of the large oil field in Northeast China. The oil field worker, Zhao Binhua, had been promoted to a small cadre. His salary was high and his standard of living was high. There was fine rice, white flour, wine, and meat on the table.
Xue Guiqin had received a letter from her sister ten days ago, but she had never told Zhao Binhua. Seeing that he was in a good mood today, she mentioned it,"Dad, my sister's child is getting married and she wants to borrow a hundred yuan from us. What do you think we should do about this…"
Zhao Binhua remained calm." This is your sister's first time borrowing money. You're in charge of the family's money. Think about it. If you can take it out, lend it to her."”
"This year, we moved to a new house and bought furniture and appliances. Our savings have been used up. I only have your salary for the past few months. After deducting your daily expenses, I still have 180 yuan left.”
"Leave my money for cigarettes and alcohol."
"Mom, you promised to make me new clothes. You have to fulfill it this week!”Xue Guiqin had married and given birth to a pair of twins. The one who spoke was her daughter, Zhao Ru.
"Alright, you and your brother both have one. The budget for this is also 40 yuan.”
"Send 30 yuan to my parents.”
"A few days ago, I asked Old Li's wife to bring a pair of cowhide shoes from the provincial capital. It's not good to owe them money.”
The whole family was talking at once. In the end, Xue Guiqin calculated that she could only take out 30 yuan and leave 20 yuan for emergency use. In fact, she could only lend her sister 10 yuan.
Zhao Binhua lay on the bamboo chair and picked his teeth."Since Big Sister has spoken, we have to express our gratitude. How about this? Tell Big Sister about our family's difficulties and transfer ten yuan over. Just say that there's no need to return the money.”
"That's the only way. Ten yuan was squeezed out from the gaps of my teeth.”Xue Guiqin was also in a difficult position. It wasn't that she didn't want to borrow it, but her life was also very tight.
