The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife
Chapter 31: [Come to borrow money]
When Yu Chunhua saw that the girl didn't say anything, she lowered her head as if she was thinking about it, and she didn't continue to say anything. She could just think about it for herself, but don't do things that are detrimental to her virtue.
After the divorce, she couldn't figure it out, and the son-in-law didn't do anything to apologize to her. She wanted to get rid of others when her leg broke.
However, for Xu Chunmei, it was difficult to suppress it when she thought about it.
Xu Ning spent all afternoon finishing a few homework assignments, let Xie Zheng check them over, and then stepped on the sunset to return home.
In the yard, Xu Chunmei was holding her son in a low voice, while Niuniu next to her was playing with herself on her toes, repeating her silence in the morning.
"Where did Ningning go?" Xu Chunmei raised her head and greeted Xu Ning with a smile.
"I will do my homework next door in the afternoon." Xu Ning replied.
As soon as she put down her schoolbag here, she heard the sound of a car bell coming from the alley. Before she could go outside, she saw Xu Chunmei rushing out with Xiaobao in her arms. The action was really fast, like a gust of wind.
Seeing this, Xu Ning felt amused, and slowly walked up to Niuniu's feet, bent over to meet her sight, and smiled: "Sleep with my sister at night and take another bath by the way, OK?"
Niuniu looked at Xu Ning timidly, and then turned to go to Xu Chunmei, making Xu Ning's face full of black lines.
"Why did my second sister come here? I didn't know to make a phone call before I came here. I can still ask for a time off to pick you up." Xu Jianjun was very happy to see the only sister. When he got the car up, Xiao Bao thought, stretching his arm. To sit on the bicycle, Xu Jianjun reached out to take his nephew and put him in the car. "I gave birth to a big fat boy and I didn't see you send a letter to the family. Why are you so happy?"
"You think I don't want to do the mess at home." Xu Chunmei sighed bitterly. "Taozi also broke his leg. The county told me to send people to the city, but Jianjun, Given the conditions of our family, where there is extra spare money to send him to the city to see a doctor, I have no choice but to come to you."
The original conditions in the family were pretty good, but the brother-in-law was almost tossed about getting married.
Xu Jianjun heard this and asked with concern: "What's the matter? How serious is it? This leg can't be vague. If the county can't manage it, it has to be sent to the city."
"It's not something. I also asked about it at home. If you go to the city for medical treatment, you don't need to take medicine in the hospital. We can't even get the money for the operation. If you say it, you have to be a thousand less. Our fate."
This number made Xu Jianjun stunned. If it were one hundred and two hundred, they might be able to get it easily, but it was a thousand, which is almost the money Xu Jianjun made without eating or drinking for a year, don’t look at what he has now. The unit is very good, but the salary has only been raised in the past two years, and the previous salary is enough to feed the family.
So in general, their family's money may not necessarily have so much.
But now Xu Chunmei begs to come home. The other party is still his brother-in-law. If his leg breaks, his second sister will have to suffer for the rest of her life. She really has to borrow. This is really worrying, so the money is in the end. How much to borrow, still have to discuss with the old lady and daughter-in-law.
In the kitchen, Xu Ning skillfully began to chop vegetables and cook. There was only one piece of meat left at home, which was about half a catty. There were a lot of vegetables, and many of the vegetables in the private plot were already edible.
So as soon as Qin Xuejuan came back, the old lady called her son-in-law into the house and asked Xu Ning to make dinner by herself in the kitchen. Although the married daughter returned to her natal family as a guest, the current conditions at home are like this and cannot have a meal. A good dish will serve you, and you can’t afford it. A few pieces of meat in the dish is already a very good meal.
Xu Chunmei probably knew what the three people were doing in the house, and did not go in cheeky to listen. She felt very happy when she thought that she could save a lot of money when she left, even with her attitude towards her daughter. A lot.
"Niu Niu, don't stand stupidly, go and help your sister burn the fire." Xu Chunmei said with a smile.
Niuniu didn't speak, but she drew herself into the kitchen and sat down in front of the stove.
Xu Ning originally didn’t need her to help. After all, this little girl was only seven or eight years old, but seeing her skillfully burning the fire made her feel a little sour. It can be seen that Niuniu is at home and she does this kind of thing. , But did not exchange for the care of his mother.
The steamed buns in the pot were originally what Xu Ning wanted to make, but in the afternoon at Xie Zheng's homework, she forgot the time. After returning, she found that the old lady had done it, so she waited for it to be steamed.
She fries a few dishes in another pot. There are no good dishes, just Chinese cabbage, eggplant and the like.
In the old lady's room, Yu Chunhua looked at her son and daughter-in-law, straight to the point.
"Your second brother-in-law broke his leg. I want to come to our house to borrow some money. The money in my hand belongs to both of you. You have the final say on borrowing more and less. You don't want to lend me back."
Qin Xuejuan must not be too positive about this kind of thing, it still depends on her husband's attitude.
"Mom, I listen to Jianjun, he has the final say on how much to borrow."
The old lady still liked the attitude of his wife very much, and then she turned her attention to Xu Jianjun.
Xu Jianjun pondered for a moment and said: "The second sister told me just now to go to the hospital in the city. If you say it, you have to be a thousand less. How much money do we have now?"
The old lady was very clear about the money in her hands. She didn't need to count the money at all. She gave him a number directly: "More than one thousand three hundred."
"Give the second sister six hundred yuan." After thinking about it, Xu Jianjun gave the old lady a number. "After all, brother-in-law can't count on all of our family, but it's for my second sister's sake. With a big head in the family, this will make the second sister live a little better at her husband’s house. Ningning will soon go to school, and we will have to pay her tuition at that time. I have to keep some spare money in my hands."
When the old lady heard this number, she nodded her head after thinking about it.
"All right, I'll give you six hundred for your second sister. Don't worry, I will urge them to pay them back." The old lady said this, just not wanting to make her daughter-in-law feel uncomfortable.
Qin Xuejuan is transparent. Hearing the words of her mother-in-law, she smiled and said: "Mom, the second sister is her own family, the money is still important for treating the disease first, and you don't have to worry about it."
"Yeah!" Xu Jianjun nodded beside him, "Tomorrow, it will be Sunday, I will take my second sister and them back, and take the money to the city hospital as soon as possible, so don't continue to delay."
Originally wanted to stay at home with her daughter-in-law and grandson for two nights. Hearing Xu Jianjun's words, Yu Chunhua did not refute. After all, there is still a patient in the family. Stay for a while.
