Chapter 031: [To borrow money]
Seeing that her daughter didn't say anything, Yu Chunhua lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't continue to say anything. She could just think about it carefully, so she should not do such things that would be detrimental to virtue.
It’s a good thing she can think of the divorce, but her son-in-law didn’t do anything to be sorry for her. She wanted to get rid of her when her leg broke. How could this happen?
However, for Xu Chunmei, it is difficult to suppress it when she thinks.
Xu Ning spent a whole afternoon to finish several homework, asked Xie Zheng to check it out, and then walked back home in the sunset.
In the yard, Xu Chunmei was holding her son and whispering, while Niu Niu next to her was playing with herself on her toes, repeating the morning silence.
"Where has Ningning been going?" Xu Chunmei raised her head and greeted Xu Ning with a smile.
"Do your homework next door in the afternoon." Xu Ning replied.
As soon as she put her schoolbag down here, she heard the sound of a car bell coming from the alley. Before she could walk out, she saw Xu Chunmei rushing out with Xiaobao in her arms. The movement was really fast like a gust of wind.
Seeing this, Xu Ning felt funny, so he raised his foot and walked slowly to Niu Niu, bent down to her gaze level, and smiled and said, "Will you sleep with your sister at night and take a shower?"
Niu Niu looked at Xu Ning timidly, then turned to Xu Chunmei, making Xu Ning's face full of black lines.
"Why did the second sister come here? I didn't know how to call before coming. I could still take a leave to pick you up." Xu Jianjun was very happy to see his only sister. When he put the car up, Xiaobao stretched his arm to sit on the bicycle. Xu Jianjun reached out to take his nephew and put him in the car. "I didn't see you send a letter to your family, why are you so disgusted?"
"Do you think I don't want to do that, the messy things at home." Xu Chunmei sighed bitterly, "Taozi's leg was also broken. The county said he wanted to send people to the city. However, Jianjun, with the conditions of our family, there is no extra money to send him to the city for medical treatment. I have no choice but to ask you to come."
The original conditions at home were pretty good, but my brother-in-law was almost the same when he got married.
When Xu Jianjun heard this, he asked with concern: "What's going on? How serious is it? This leg cannot be vague. If the county cannot handle it, it has to be sent to the city."
"It's not that what happened? My family also went to inquire. If you go to the city for treatment, you won't even be hospitalized for medicine. Even if you do not have the money for the surgery, you will have to be less than a thousand. Isn't this going to kill us?"
This number made Xu Jianjun stunned. If it was 1200 or 200, they might be able to get it easily, but it was 1000 yuan, which is almost the money that Xu Jianjun earned for a year without eating or drinking. Although his current unit is very good, his salary has only been raised in the past two years. The previous salary is enough for his family to fill his stomach.
So in general, their family may not have that much money.
But now Xu Chunmei has been begging for her home, and the other party is still his brother-in-law. If her leg is broken, his second sister will have to suffer all the hardships in the rest of her life. She really has to borrow it. This is worrying, so how much money she has to borrow should be discussed with the old lady and her wife.
In the kitchen, Xu Ning skillfully started cutting vegetables and cooking. There was only one meat left at home, only about half a pound, but there were a lot of vegetables, and many of the vegetables in the private fields could be eaten.
So as soon as Qin Xuejuan came back, the old lady called her son and daughter-in-law to the house and asked Xu Ning to tinker with supper in the kitchen. Although the married daughter returned to her parents' home, the conditions at home are like this. She can't treat you every good food, and she can't afford it. It's already a good meal if there are a few slices of meat in the dish.
Xu Chunmei probably knew what the three of them were doing in the house, and she didn't go in with shamelessness. When she thought she could take a lot of money when she left, she felt very happy, and her attitude towards her daughter became much better.
"Niu Niu, don't stand stupidly, go and help your sister burn the fire." Xu Chunmei said with a smile.
Niu Niu didn't say anything, but she slowly stepped into the kitchen and sat down in front of the stove.
Xu Ning didn't need her help at first. After all, this little girl is only seven or eight years old. However, seeing her skillful fireworks make her feel a little sad. It can be seen that Niu Niu does so many things at home, but she doesn't get the care of her mother.
The steamed buns in the pot were originally what Xu Ning wanted to make, but in the afternoon, I forgot the time to do my homework at Xie Zheng's house. When I came back, I found that the old lady had already prepared it, so I waited for the steaming pot to be steamed.
She was cooking a few dishes in another pot, and there were no good dishes, nothing but cabbage, eggplant, etc.
In the old lady's house, Yu Chunhua looked at her son and daughter-in-law and went straight to the point.
"Your second brother-in-law's leg is broken. I want to come to our house to borrow some money. The money I have in my hands belongs to both of you. You have the final say on how much to borrow, and I don't want to lend it to you."
Qin Xuejuan must not be too positive for things like this, it depends on her husband's attitude.
"Mom, I've heard from Jianjun, he has the final say on how much I borrow."
The old lady still likes her daughter-in-law's attitude very much, and then she turned her attention to Xu Jianjun.
Xu Jianjun pondered for a moment and said, "Just sister just told me that I would have to go to the city hospital to have a minimum of 1,000 yuan. How much money does our family have now?"
The old lady was clear about the money she had, so she didn't need to count it at all, so she gave him a number: "More than one thousand three hundred."
"Give my second sister six hundred yuan." Xu Jianjun thought about it and gave the old lady a number. "After all my brother-in-law can't count on our family. But for my second sister's sake, our family will have a big fortune, so that it can make my second sister better at her in-laws' family. Ningning will soon go to school, and we will have to pay her tuition fees at that time, so we must leave some spare money in our hands."
When the old lady heard this number, she thought about it before nodding in agreement.
"Okay, I'll give your second sister six hundred yuan. Don't worry about you two. I'll urge them to pay back the money from behind." The old lady said this, just because she didn't want her daughter-in-law to feel uncomfortable.
Qin Xuejuan is a transparent person. When she heard her mother-in-law's words, she smiled and said, "Mom, is the second sister her own family? It's important to treat her illness first with the money. There is no need to worry."
"Yeah!" Xu Jianjun nodded from the side, "Tomorrow is Sunday. I will send my second sister and the others back, and take the money to the city hospital early, so don't delay it."
Originally, he wanted to stay at home for two nights, but after Xu Jianjun said this, Yu Chunhua did not refute it. After all, there is a patient at home, so he has to treat him early if he is sick. At worst, he can wait until his son-in-law is discharged from the hospital and then pick up his daughter and grandson and stay for a while.
