5951 - Borrow money
Seeing Yang Huamei's expression of wanting to say something but not being able to say it, Mrs. Sun, a good old man, was worried for her.

In her eyes, there is no outsider by the well in the backyard.

So she came to Yang Huamei, grabbed Yang Huamei's hand twisting her clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Mei'er, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Yang Huamei's face was full of confusion, and she smiled awkwardly, glancing at Yang Ruoqing's side from the corner of her eyes from time to time.

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, so Aunt Mei'er was worried about me?
"Mother, you talk to aunt, I'll make some water to soak the watermelon later."

She deliberately didn't evade, picked up the small wooden bucket with a rope and threw it into the well.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing leaning over to fetch water from the well, Mrs. Sun was worried about leaving, so she had to stand aside and watch.

But at the same time, he did not forget to care about Yang Huamei: "What's the matter? You borrowed money and didn't say anything, which made me worry..."

Yang Huamei sighed inwardly, but she couldn't feel bad for this upright third sister-in-law, so she could only smile helplessly and go all out.

"Sister-in-law three, I want to borrow 250 wen from you, and I will pay you back when my rice is sold."

"250 Wen? This number is not very good. How about 260 Wen?" Sun asked.

Yang Huamei was overjoyed and expressed it directly on her face: "That's a good thing, two hundred and six is ​​two hundred and six, thank you, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Sun smiled, "We don't talk politely between our aunts and sisters-in-law. Well, I only have [-] Wen on me, and your third brother keeps the rest of the money. He went out again. When he comes back, I will ask him to send it to you." past?"

Hearing that Mrs. Sun wanted to arrange for Yang Huazhong to be sent there, Yang Huamei's smile immediately frightened her away.

She took a sneak peek at Yang Ruoqing, and found that Yang Ruoqing was bending over to fetch water with her back to them.

Yang Huamei dragged Mrs. Sun a few steps aside, and lowered her voice to the lowest level: "Sister-in-law, can you tell my third brother? You should help me think of a way, and the money will be treated as our sister-in-law's money in private. of."

Sun's face was puzzled, "Mei'er, even if your third brother knew about it, he wouldn't be able to stop you from lending money to you. He's always been there to help your family over the years, and you've forgotten all about it." ?"

Yang Huamei was stunned for a moment, and then realized that her words might have misunderstood Sun.

Shaking his head and waving his hands hurriedly, he hurriedly argued: "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that. Of course my third brother treats me well, but my elder brother is like a father. I'm a little afraid of him. I'd better talk to you, sister-in-law. discuss."

"Good sister-in-law, you can be regarded as watching my sister-in-law grow up, so you love me, don't tell my third brother, okay?"

31-year-old Yang Huamei took Sun's arm and shook it gently, acting like a child.

Unable to resist, Sun gave in instantly.

"Okay, I'll help you think of a way," she said.

Yang Huamei was overjoyed, and quickly let go of her hand, so that Mrs. Sun could go back to the house and open the box to get the money.

Although the third sister-in-law said that she only had sixty Wen on her, and the other money was kept by the third brother, but as a couple, the third sister-in-law must know where the third brother hid the big money.

In fact, the moment Yang Huamei let go of her hand, Sun did turn around.

However, instead of heading towards the front yard, she walked towards the well, and asked, "Qing'er, do you have any money?"

Yang Huamei raised her hand and patted her leg, it's too bad.But it was too late to stop her at this moment, she could only grit her teeth and close her eyes, turning her back and not daring to look at Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing just pulled up a bucket of water from the well, when she heard Mrs. Sun's question, she turned around and nodded with a smile, "A little bit, what's the matter?"

Sun lowered her voice, "Your Aunt Mei'er wants to transfer some money from me, but I only have [-] Wen, and I'm still short of [-] Wen."

Not to mention two hundred Wen, even 200 taels of bank notes, Yang Ruoqing also has them.

"I'll look for it, see if it's enough."

Yang Ruoqing took out a purse from her pocket, "The change is only one hundred coins, mother, you can ask your aunt, if you need it urgently, I'll go home and get it."

Sun took Yang Ruoqing's [-] wen, added his own [-] wen, went back to Yang Huamei, and explained the situation.

"Qing'er said that if you need her urgently, you can go home and get her."

Yang Huamei glanced at Yang Ruoqing, and found that she was washing her feet with water, she was so absorbed that she didn't seem to hear the conversation here, and didn't pay much attention.

"You don't need to pick it up, 160 Wen is enough, counting the [-] Wen I borrowed from you and Sansao two days ago, it's exactly [-] Wens, and I will return it to you Sansao when I sell the rice later! "

"No hurry, no hurry, you can spend it first!" Sun said with a smile.

Yang Huamei nodded, collected the money, turned around and left in a hurry.

From the time he came here to borrow money until he left, he didn't have a word with Yang Ruoqing.

After she left, Mrs. Sun returned to Yang Ruoqing's side, "Let's go back to the front yard."

Yang Ruoqing heard all the conversations between their sister-in-law and sister-in-law clearly.

"Mother, aunt also borrowed forty Wen from you and my father two days ago?"

Mrs. Sun was about to nod, but suddenly shook her head: "Your father doesn't know, he borrowed it from me."

"Oh?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes flickered slightly, "Why did you borrow forty Wen? What can you buy?"

Mrs. Sun smiled, "Where is it borrowing money? That day, a fish seller came to the town. I heard that it was a relative of someone in our village. He sold it under the old maple tree. Many people came to support him. .”

"It happened that your aunt and I were there, so we bought a few fish. Your aunt didn't have any money with her at the time, so she moved forty coins with me."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "So that's what happened."

While the two mothers were talking, the well water was carried into the kitchen in the backyard, and a large watermelon with green skin and stripes was put into the well water to soak.

After finishing work in the evening, after taking a shower, I cut and ate it. It was as enjoyable as eating a cold drink.

"Qing'er, there is still stewed mung bean with coptis in the crock pot, would you like a bowl?" Sun suddenly remembered this, and asked as if offering a treasure.

Yang Ruoqing rubbed her stomach: "Don't drink it yet, my mother-in-law left me sour plum soup when I got home, I couldn't control it, and drank two large bowls in one go."

Sun followed Yang Ruoqing's hand and looked at her stomach, and smiled: "OK, then don't drink it for now, I'll save it for you to drink at night."

The two mothers moved a small stool to cool off at the aisle, enjoying the breeze blowing through the hallway.

"Mother, my aunt knows that our family is in charge of the money, and you only have a little money in your hand. She borrowed it from you and still won't let you tell my father. Why?" Yang Ruoqing asked casually.

Mrs. Sun also thought it was just a topic for casual chatting, and said without thinking too much: "She is afraid of your father, and I don't want to alarm your father about a small amount of money."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "It's indeed a matter of a small amount of money, but the pocket money on your body must have been borrowed, right?"

Sun usually doesn't need money. In her own words, there is nothing lacking in the house. Yang Huazhong and the children in the family have to prepare for the food and clothing. If you want to visit relatives and friends, you can get it from Yang Huazhong. No, it's not necessary for her to hold the money in her own hand.
