Chapter 112 Open to Borrow Money
Xu Laosan has always been a father who doesn't love his mother since he was a child. At this time, when he suddenly heard his mother say this, he almost burst into tears with excitement. He felt warm all over his body. The warm stream rushed all the way to the top of his head and said with a fever, "Mom, don't worry, my son will not let you down." The mother and son held hands and talked to each other for a long time. Xu Laosan came out of the old house moved and went straight home to find Xu Xinger and said, "Xinger, how much money do you have now?"
Xu Xinger became alert as soon as she heard this and asked, "Dad, why are you asking about this? Don't you have any money?"
Xu Laosan sat on the edge of the kang and looked at his daughter expectantly and said, "Well, your second uncle has caused some trouble, so we have to compensate the He family in the village, but you also saw that grandma has just got sick, and there are so many people in the family who want to eat. I really can't afford it. Can your father borrow three hanging money for you? OK? Just say that I borrowed it from your grandma and will give it to you after the autumn harvest, okay?
Xu Xing'er looked at him and thought that after a while, could she be brainwashed back? But it didn't show at all. Instead, he said with a sad face and said, "Oh, Dad, why didn't you say it earlier? Even if you said it a day earlier, I could still take out the money, but now..."
"What's going on now? Losing money? Or what did you do?" Xu Laosan guessed, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Xing'er, it's not that Dad said you. Although you made this money, you can't spend money in our family's current situation!"
"I..." Xu Xinger was angry and annoyed when she heard this. She secretly bit her tongue, forced herself into tears, and said, "Am I working hard to make money for myself? Should I buy myself a piece of candy or clothes? Am I an ignorant child who spends money in my father's eyes?
Seeing his daughter's grievance, Xu Laosan regretted what he had just said and quickly explained, "Xing'er, Dad doesn't blame you, but you are young. Dad and Dad just told you for nothing else."
Xu Xinger wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and lowered her head without saying a word.
"Well, Xing'er..." Xu Laosan waited for a long time without seeing his daughter speak. He was thinking about the money in his heart, so he had to ask, "You just said that you had no money now. What's going on?"
"I met the young master of the Rong family in the city that day. He said that there was a very good ginseng in the pharmacy, but it was broken when digging, so it was sold cheaper. He knew that my mother's medicine needed ginseng, and because I saved him, so he thought of kindness and asked the shopkeeper to keep the ginseng for me." Xu Xinger raised her head and looked at Xu Laosan and said, "I have paid the fixed money and pressed my fingerprints during the day, but my money is not enough, so the ginseng is still in the pharmacy. I can't get it back until I slowly pay all the money."
Xu Xinger's eyes were big and round. At this time, her eyes were moist and red, and her eyelashes were wet. She looked at Xu Laosan with a pitiful face and said weakly, "Why don't... Why don't I ask tomorrow to see if I can withdraw the ginseng? Master Rong is still reading my kindness to save him, so he should not embarrass me.
She clearly saw that there was struggle and hesitation in Xu Laosan's eyes, and he should be engaged in a psychological struggle.
Xu Xinger's heart is slightly cold. Can't even such an important thing as Ye's body stop Xu Laosan's determination to borrow money?
Xu Laosan actually didn't think about it for a long time. He just said in silence for a moment and said, "It's rare that you have this kind of filial piety and such a good opportunity. After this village, there will be no store. Dad can figure it out by himself."
Hearing this, Xu Xinger was slightly comforted. Fortunately, Xu Laosan still knew which was more important. If he really felt that borrowing money was more important than buying medicine for Ye's family, he should really think about it in his heart. How should be treated such an unclear father in the future.
"Dad, if there is nothing wrong, you can go back to the room. I'm a little tired today and want to go to bed early." Xu Xinger was already a little uncomfortable. She didn't want to look at Xu Laosan's troubled face and had a headache, so she directly opened her mouth to drive people away.
Only then did Xu Laosan remember that Ye Shi said 76 before dinner that his daughter was a little uncomfortable today. He reached out and touched the top of his daughter's head with great guilt and said, "Don't put up with anything by yourself. If you really feel really uncomfortable, let's ask the doctor to have a look earlier."
"Dad, I'm fine. Maybe I got up too early today, and there are many people eating in the city at noon, so I'm just tired. I'll be fine after a rest for one night." Xu Xinger shook her head repeatedly. She felt that she had insisted on getting up early and going up the mountain recently, but after all, this is a child's body. Frequent sleep shortage will definitely have an impact. As long as she has a good rest, she should recover quickly. She doesn't want to drink those bitter soups that are uncomfortable when she smells.
Xu Laosan rarely helped Xu Xinger tangle the quilt, got up and blew the lamp, and then closed the door and went out.
Ye was packing up in the kitchen and said casually, "What are you going to mutter to Xing'er as soon as you come back?" Is she feeling better? Are you still not feeling well?"
"She said she was tired and wanted to go to bed early. I said I would ask the doctor to come and see why she refused." Xu Laosan said absent-mindedly, thinking about how to talk to Ye about borrowing money.
"Is everything all right on your side? It's strange to hear what Lao Si said before. Ye asked with concern.
"It's okay. The doctor also secretly saw the second brother, saying that it may have come to an end, but at present, he felt that there was nothing serious about the diagnosis. He grabbed a pair of medicine again and bought a bottle of medicine prepared by the doctor himself to wipe his body." Xu Laosan shook his head and said, "Don't mention it, Dad is angry this time. Up to now, he still doesn't care about the second brother."
"When such a thing happens, the whole family is shameless. How can a strong person like his father not be angry? However, there is no overnight hatred between parents and their children. After a few days, when the father's anger subsides, your brothers will persuade them from the side, and then they will be fine.
Ye Shi sighed and said, "My parents are indeed very angry. I can't help thinking that my second sister-in-law knows how uncomfortable she will be in the future, especially now."
"What the second brother did this time is really too unorthodox. This matter has caused a lot of noise in the village. At that time, Lao Si and Lingzi will not be affected by the marriage. This time, even his mother will not make an affair for him." Xu Laosan usually doesn't show it, but he still cares about his mother's preference for his second brother. This time, he saw that Mrs. Xu no longer looked at the second brother, but felt that his position at home had improved a lot.
"Xing's mother, can I discuss something with you?"
After both of them lay down at night, Xu Laosan carefully came over and said.
"What's the matter?" Ye Shi also tossed around today. Although he didn't do any heavy work, after all, he was tired. His eyelids were already heavy when he lay down. When he seemed to be asleep, he heard Xu Laosan talking and answered, and his voice was full of deep sleepiness.
"Dad and the He family are angry. When they come back, they will say that they must collect the three pieces of money and send it to the He family as soon as possible, but you also know the current situation of our family. The rest of the money may not be enough for the autumn harvest. How can we raise the three pieces of money? The eldest sister-in-law's family is difficult, and the second sister-in-law can't open her mouth, so my mother has to talk to us. I want to ask if I can borrow three dollars from your mother's house first, and I will definitely return the grain immediately after the autumn harvest.
Ye listened to this in a daze, suddenly woke up, turned over half propped up, and asked, "Are you looking for Xing'er today to ask her for money?"
"No, I don't want money..." Xu Laosan didn't expect Ye Shi** to be like this. He was asked for a moment and quickly explained, "I just thought that if Xing'er could take it out, I would lend it to my parents first. Of course, I must have borrowed it from your mother's family... Isn't it embarrassing for you to talk to your mother's family? ......”
"It's not an unusable thing to borrow money. Just tell me no." Seeing that he really had no intention of rubbing his daughter's private room, Ye Shi felt relaxed and lay down again and said a little unhappily, "We are husband and wife. If you have any ideas about these messy things at home, you should discuss them directly with me. Xing'er is such a big child, and you are really ashamed to talk to her."
Xu Laosan became more and more ashamed when he heard this and repeatedly said that he did not mean to covet children.
"You shouldn't mention this to your child." Ye said sadly, "You can't see it when you are not at home all day. Xing'er got up so early every morning and went to run the mountain, and then on such a hot day, she walked back and forth on such a mountain road, carried a jar to sell radish strips, came back to help me with work, and helped me take care of the two children at night... Where can you find such a sensible child? Question mark Still not enough?"
"I'm satisfied, and I've always been satisfied!" Xu Laosan begged for mercy repeatedly, "Isn't I just worried for a moment and thought about it? Besides, Xing'er didn't lend it to me, so let's expose this article..."
"You father are not careful at all. Although Xing'er's child has grown a little recently, he seems to be thinner than before." Ye sighed, "Two days ago, I was thinking about what delicious to make for her to nourish her body. As a result, she was uncomfortable these days and didn't even have a good appetite. I was worried to death. You didn't know how to help me share the burden, and it made me angry."
"Daughter-in-law, I'm stupid, so I always do wrong things. Don't be the same as me. It's okay if you don't teach me. Don't be angry..." Xu Laosan saw that it was useless to beg for mercy, he simply turned over, hugged Ye Shi, and directly took it in his arms, and wanted to comfort him physically. One.
Ye was so angry that he pushed him and said, "What's wrong with you at night?" I'm so tired. Go to bed now!"
"Are you tired? I'll pinch you..." Xu Laosan's hand has been touched along his waist.
Ye twisted his body, but he was not too resistant, and his voice was much sweeter and softer. He said annoidly, "You son of a dead man..."
"Bum bang!"
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, are you asleep? Get up quickly!"
