Chapter 101: Borrowing Money
Zhang Guilan didn't like it in her heart, and she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "Jiang Zhi is coming. Come in quickly."
"Sister-in-law, I have something to do with you. Let's come out and talk about it." Jiang Zhi's voice was very low, but he stood at the door, and the white pine couple in the room naturally heard it.
Bai Song is a big man. Naturally, he didn't think much about it.
It was Zhu Lan. He took a look at the door. Although it was just a glance, he also looked at Jiang Zhi from the beginning to the end, quickly withdrew his eyes, and there was a lot of calculation in his heart.
Zhang Guilan knew that Jiang Zhi was so difficult to speak. She must have something to ask for herself. She didn't want to agree, and it was not easy to refuse face to face. She could only bring her to the door and stand in the corridor to talk with her.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Guilan thought that if Jiang Zhi still talked about using the sewing machine, she had already said that she could come home to use it, and there was really no need to make it look like this.
"Sister-in-law, I wrote to my hometown. My father-in-law was ill and said that he was hospitalized in the town. He telegraphed us to mail some money to our home. The money was opened the day before yesterday. There are too many things to be used at home this month, and there is no spare money in hand. Sister-in-law, do you think you can borrow some money from my family first? When Jun's father spends money next month, I will pay you back. Jiang Zhi was afraid that he would not borrow it, and hurriedly promised, "If you can't believe it, you can write an IOU." I really can't help it. I only know my sister-in-law in this courtyard.
Zhang Guilan heard that she was borrowing money, but she was not very surprised. She was surprised, "The soldier's family has an urgent need for money, and you can advance the salary with the army. It is a business for your father-in-law to be hospitalized. The army will not disagree. Did Instructor Li tell the team?"
I don't think it's a big deal to borrow money from Zhang Guilan. Just looking at Jiang Zhi like this, is it possible to borrow a lot? She doesn't have much in her hand, not to mention that she still needs to use it to open a store now, and she can't get much.
Jiang Zhi looked embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you. My father-in-law's telegram this time said that only 20 yuan was enough. Jun'er's father thought I still had it in my hand and asked me to prepare to come out today, and he asked someone to mail it tomorrow. But I went to the city yesterday to buy more rice, leaving only eight yuan, so the money was not enough, and I didn't dare to tell Jun'er's father. I was afraid that he would blame me, so I wanted to borrow 15 yuan from my sister-in-law first.
"Well, that's right. Wait, I'll take it for you." Fifteen yuan is not a big deal for Zhang Guilan.
Jiang Zhi saw that he borrowed it and thanked him gratefully, "Sister-in-law, thank you, otherwise I really don't know what to do. A few days after the expenditure, the family was busy buying rice and oil, and there was not much money left. I really don't know where to borrow it."
"Otherwise, there is not much money left at home this month. Lao Luo has left, and I don't need much rice alone at home, so it's useless." Even if she could take it out, Zhang Guilan didn't want to show her wealth. After explaining, she turned around and entered the house.
Jiang Zhi curled his lips and wanted to do small business. She didn't know how much she would earn. This time when she went to the city, she specially inquired about the price of mung bean cake, but it was one yuan per catty. Now the Luo family has at least 200 yuan.
But if you borrow 15 yuan, you will be in a dilemma.
If this person is not right-minded, no matter what the other party does, she will think about it. When she just borrowed money, Zhang Guilan didn't even hesitate, and she didn't get it well in Jiang Zhi.
Zhang Guilan actually has money in her clothes pocket. She said that it was just an excuse to go into the house to get it. She didn't think about lending money to Jiang Zhi. If Jiang Zhi was good, she wouldn't say anything. After these several times, Zhang Guilan also saw that for the villain, no No matter how you do, she won't thank you sincerely. Maybe she will say behind her back that you are watching her jokes.
When Zhu Lan saw that Zhang Guilan came in, she was not happy again. She came forward and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay." Zhang Guilan lowered her voice, "The one opposite the door wants to borrow money from me."
"Is it credible?" At this time, the family doesn't have much money. If you borrow more than 100 yuan, you will have interest.
"It's okay. I'll go out and tell her now." Zhang Guilan didn't treat Bai Song and his husband as outsiders, so she didn't hide it. "I don't have a deep friendship, just live in the opposite door."
Zhu Lan nodded, "Oced, then you go."
Zhang Guilan saw that it was almost done. She opened the door and went out again.
looked at Jiang Zhi with a embarrassed face, "Originally, I didn't buy anything. This time I went to find money before I remembered that I spent some time living in a hotel in the city and bought some cotton and quilts. There are only more than ten yuan left in my hand, which is not enough for fifteen. Originally, it was said that I could also get the money. As you know, I did some business at the beginning and saved a little in my hand. Later, I went back to my hometown with Lao Luo. I left some money for the parents of the two families, and I had no money in my hand. What can you do with this? Why don't I save some? Why don't you take five yuan first and go upstairs to have a look?
Jiang Zhi was stunned and blinked in disbelief. "Sister-in-law, no, it's okay, then I don't need it. I'll go to another house to have a look."
"You look how embarrassed you are. The first time you asked me to borrow money, I... twenty yuan is not a small number, otherwise you can tell Xue Jun to go to the team to pay in advance for a month. He won't blame you if he knows the truth. After all, it's not you spent your life." Zhang Guilan reminded her.
"Well, I know, then I won't disturb my sister-in-law. There are still guests at home. Sister-in-law, go back quickly." Jiang Zhi clenched his fists and forced Zhang Guilan to enter the room, and then his face fell down.
After coming out for so long, the child in the family was still sick, and Jiang Zhi didn't have much time to be angry. He bit his lip and went into the house. He knew that Zhang Guilan must be rich and not as good as before. He must have offended her on weekdays and secretly regretted that he should have coaxed her at the
There is no need to think about the Wang family and the Song family upstairs. There is no way to have money. Jiang Zhi can only wait for the man to come back at night to tell the truth. Li Xuejun didn't say anything. He just said that he knew it. The next day, he went to the team to advance his salary and asked someone to help
As for Zhang Guilan, she didn't plan to date Jiang Zhi anymore. On the day when the Bai Song couple came, she made dumplings with bacon and cabbage. The next morning, she went into the city with Bai Song and went straight to the store.
The store has been cleaned up, and I only need to put things in it. Although it is only 40 square meters, it is much better than the house in the town. It can do business in the front, and people can live in the back 20 square meters. A stove can be set up to cook on the opposite side of the bed. Zhu Lan fell in love with
From now on, this will be home. Bai Song doesn't say anything on his face, but he turns around in the room and rubs his hands from time to time. He is obviously nervous.
"Brother Bai, you are also familiar with this place. There is a shortage of things for cooking at home. My sister-in-law and I will clean it up at home, and I'll leave it to you." Zhang Guilan took out ten yuan and stuffed it into his hand. "This money is not mine. When you make money, you have to deduct it from the money you earn. Don't want it."
"Empt, I'll buy it. Although I haven't come back for a few years, I still know where to sell these things. Bai Song took the money and left with a smile.
Zhu Lan looked at his man and smiled and sighed, "Over the years, it's the first time I've seen him so happy. Although he was discharged from the army, his heart has been in the army. You didn't see it yesterday. When we were in the army's compound, he was so excited that he didn't know which leg The little soldier on guard didn't recognize him. He was quite disappointed. Fortunately, he thought about it himself.
Zhu Lan and Bai Song also grew up in a small village and were engaged. After two years of marriage, Bai Song was discharged from the army.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about it in the future. If you have something to do, Brother Bai will have no mind." Zhang Guilan can feel the feeling of Bai Song. For a soldier, leaving the army is the biggest regret in their life. "Sister-in-law, it's your first time to come to the city. It just so happens that we can see if the shelf is ready. I will also show you around. I made the quilt, but Zhuo hasn't bought it ."
"I don't have to spend that money. I have brought the quilt at home, and I have to bring a sewing machine. The pot in the countryside is different from that in the city, so I didn't bring it. Let's do something serious." Zhu Lan speaks brightly and does things neatly.
Zhang Guilan likes her at this point and is not polite to her. "Well, let's go."
After locking the door, the two left directly. The little mute had already made the drying rack, which looked the same as Zhang Guilan said, and it was all made of wood. The appearance was polished, and the quality was first-class.
There are at least six shelves to be used in the store. The little mute has obviously been busy with this these days. There are ten that have been installed, and there are some that have not been installed, and it looks like there will be less.
The wood is too heavy, and there are some clothes hangings and trouser clips. Zhang Guilan and Zhu Lan can't take them. The little mute also helped. He took the things to the store. Bai Song also bought a cook and came back. He also resisted the gas. Bai Song installed the stove. Zhang Guilan asked Zhu Lan to buy Bring the shelf and assemble it in the store and sell it directly in the store. It happens that the little mute can also have dinner at night.
Zhu Lan didn't do it. "I have a lot of strength to move things with the little mute. You go shopping, and I just don't know where to buy it."
Zhang Guilan thought it was right. The three of them worked in a division of labor. Zhang Guilan went to the market to buy two catties of meat. Now there is a shortage of vegetables, and she can't even buy it from Ben. She bought a piece of tofu and bought ten catties of rice first. She bought some salt and various seasonings
For lunch, there was braised pork and stewed tofu. Although there were only two dishes, the amount was large, and a large pot of rice was cooked, and the four of them were full.
It's much easier in the afternoon, including the little mute. Four people sat in the store to assemble the shelves. Although they didn't have to run around, the workload was heavy. The four of them were so busy that it was getting dark, and there were still a few left. RS
