"What did you say?"
Jia Zhangshi, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, suddenly jumped up like a zombie when she heard Qin Huairu's words.
Qin Huairu and Silly Zhu exchanged a glance and turned to comfort Jia Zhangshi," Granny, it's a blessing in disguise that He Jingsheng is willing to play the stick. It's just giving him some money. It's no big deal."”
No matter how careful Qin Huairu was, in her heart, the children were above everything else.
She wouldn't complain even if she had to kneel and kowtow to He Jingsheng, let alone give him some money.
His only request was to not hurt the children.
But Jia Zhangshi didn't think so.
Within a radius of several dozen li, who didn't know that Jia Zhang-shi, this old woman, was a stingy miser.
Taking a needle from her hand was harder than ascending to the heavens.
Not to mention taking money.
Jia Zhang-shi was silent for a long time before she slowly asked,""How much does He Jingsheng want?"
Qin Huairu bit her lips awkwardly, not knowing how to start.
Silly Zhu understood what Qin Huairu was thinking. He clenched his fists and looked up at Jia Zhangshi with a relaxed smile." Mom, it's actually not much. It's only about ten thousand yuan!”
More than ten thousand…
Hearing this astronomical figure, Jia Zhangshi felt her mind go blank.
One had to know that in today's society, more than 10,000 yuan was not something that could be easily earned.
How long would it take to save up so much money!
Jia Zhangshi was so angry that the muscles on her face were trembling." More than ten thousand yuan, and you're telling me it's not much?”She sat up straight, her sharp gaze fixed on Shazhu's face as if she wanted to skin him alive." Aren't you very happy now?”
Being asked by Jia Zhang-shi so suddenly, Silly Zhu didn't understand what she meant.
Then, she looked up with a confused expression." Mom, I'm happy…Why am I happy?”
Everyone knew that Silly Zhu was a famous troublemaker in the courtyard, but such a powerful person actually had a baffling fear of Jia Zhang-shi from the bottom of his heart.
In addition to Jia Zhangshi's eyes that looked like she was about to eat someone, Silly Zhu's words were even less confident.
"Silly Zhu, I don't think you are stupid at all. You are smart. You secretly joined forces with He Jingsheng to mess with us orphans and widows, right?”
Jia Zhangshi shouted excitedly, causing a small commotion in the courtyard.
Many people immediately poked their heads out of the window, planning to continue watching.
Qin Huairu, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't take it anymore. She took a step forward and stood in front of Jia Zhangshi, crying loudly,""My son is still in the police station. How can I, as his mother, bear to watch and do nothing?”
"Granny, if we don't save him, his life will be ruined!”
Seeing Qin Huairu's tearful expression, Jia Zhangshi was instantly speechless.
She wanted to say something, but she only moved her mouth.
Suddenly, the room was abnormally quiet. Only the faint breathing of the three people could be heard.
"I, an old woman, can't get a word in edgewise.”After saying this, Jia Zhangshi climbed back into bed and covered her head with the quilt in a fit of pique.
At an old man's house.
Looking at Qin Huiru and Silly Zhu sitting in front of him, First Uncle had a troubled expression.
He smiled awkwardly." Huai Ru, I understand your family's situation, but ten thousand yuan is not a small amount. I'm also an old man who has lost his ability to work. Aren't you making things difficult for me by asking me this?”
Qin Huiru understood what First Master meant.
It was just that at this critical moment, she did not want to miss any opportunity. She had to gather money in the shortest time possible so that the stick would suffer less.
"First Master, how about this? Lend us your pension, and I promise to support you in your retirement!”After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she nudged Silly Zhu with her elbow. Silly Zhu immediately nodded vigorously in agreement.
At the mention of the pension, First Uncle's expression changed slightly.
Qin Huairu actually did not beat around the bush at all. The moment she came up, she asked for the old man's pension.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that First Master regarded his pension as his lifeblood. He had saved it for so many years, so how could he give it to Qin Huairu?
Furthermore, given Qin Huairu's family's current situation, he was not sure if he could repay them in the future.
The first uncle sighed deeply." Huai Ru, I know you have difficulties, but that pension is my and your aunt's coffins in the future. If I lend it to you, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate!”
At this moment, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked in.
She happened to overhear the conversation between the three of them." Stop talking, I agree with Huai Ru and Silly Zhu's suggestion!”
Upon hearing this, Huai Ru stood up excitedly, unable to hide the surprise on her face." Really?”
Seeing that the situation was not right, the first uncle immediately panicked. He looked at the auntie beside him with displeasure." What do you know? We're talking about serious matters. Go and cook!"”
Not only did an auntie not leave, she even sat beside an old man." The two of us have no children. We're getting older by the day, and we don't have anyone to take care of us. Now that Huai Ru and Silly Zhu are in trouble, we should at least help them out. If the two of us fall ill, we'll have someone to rely on, right?”
As she said that, an auntie rolled her eyes at an old man." Money, money, money. All you know is money. What's the use of having money? You can't bring it with you when you're alive or when you're dead!”
The first uncle lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Finally, he slammed the table and said," Alright, since you aunties have already said so, I'll lend you the money. But we have a deal. When the stick is out…"
Qin Huairu immediately understood halfway through her sentence." I understand, I understand. We'll definitely return every single cent of the money to you as soon as possible. Besides, we've already agreed that Silly Zhu and I will be fully responsible for your and Aunt Yi's retirement issues in the future!”
Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu took their pension and left happily.
In the beginning, First Uncle felt that by lending them money, he could rely on Silly Zhu and Qin Huiru for his retirement in the future.
However, after they left, the first uncle thought about it carefully. The more he thought about that huge sum, the more he felt his heart ache.
The coffin money that he had saved up for several years was taken away just like that.
No one would feel good about it!
A middle-aged woman saw that an old man looked very ugly and immediately held his arm." What's wrong, old man? Are you feeling unwell?”
An elder glared at an auntie and walked into the house angrily." Hmph, you still have the cheek to ask me what's wrong?”
"I want to ask you, is there something wrong with your brain? You actually insisted on borrowing money from Qin Huairu's family. Look at you now, all your assets have been emptied by them!”
