Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 19 No.19: Paying back the money

Split up?

Zhang Lihua didn't even need to think about it, she knew it must be impossible.

Parents, separation is a big taboo.

Except for the parents who decide to divide the family for their son, otherwise, if the son proposes to divide the family by himself, he will be arrested and sent to the yamen to beat the board.

Besides, her parents are very honest, they don't dare to fart loudly in front of her grandma, how dare they raise their voices to separate the family?
It is impossible to separate the family, so she can only save money by herself.

Thinking of the three hundred or so dollars she had saved and left with Ah Qiu, Zhang Lihua ran out full of excitement.

What's so difficult about saving money?
She can do it!
Zhang Lihua replied emphatically, and immersed herself in picking up the mushrooms, and by the way, looked for the morel mushrooms from the Gallopus fructus.

Save money, rely on these!

It's a pity that good things are hard to find, and for the next few days, only the mountain fungus can be picked up, and the rest of the rare fungus, that is, I have never encountered a single flower.

However, Zhang Lihua still relied on the fungus that the old Yuan went to Daji for the past few days to help sell it, and saved another twelve coins.

This year has already saved a lot, and Zhang Lihua expressed her satisfaction.

As for the Song family, old Yuan came back from selling mushrooms and vegetables in Daji again, and sat with Song Qiu to settle accounts.

"Throwing aside the one hundred yuan from your uncle's house, we had six yuan left over that time. Last time we went to the town, the mushrooms and vegetables were sold for a total of 87 yuan, excluding the stall fee, plain steamed buns and the bus fare. Money, we have 78 coins left, and the rest is the money from selling mushrooms in Daji these few days, Ah Qiu, do the math, how much do we have in total?"

Song Qiu was delighted to hear that her nanny didn't mention the money for the morel mushrooms. Look, her nanny turned a blind eye to giving her a private house.

Then he picked up the money bag on the table and started counting. The accounts of the past few days have not been settled, and the old Yuan's coins are all put together.

After a while, Song Qiu counted and said happily: "Grandma has sold mushrooms and vegetables for a total of 180 dollars in the past few days! Including the 78 coins in the town last time, and the remaining six coins, we have a total of 270 yuan. [-] three dollars!"

Adding the three hundred coins from her here, they actually have nearly seven hundred coins!
For them now, it is a lot of money.

When old Yuan Shi heard that the family had saved so much money, she was also very happy, "Okay, we also have some spare money. I will pay back the one hundred yuan from your uncle's family in the afternoon."

Owing money to someone is really a concern after all, even if it is my own brother, it is better to pay it back earlier, old Yuan will do what he says, and will go to his mother's house in the afternoon.

Old Yuan's natal family is behind Songshan Village, and Yanghuai Village is seven or eight miles away. If you leave the village, you can take the official road directly, and you can get there in less than half an hour.

Yanghuai Village is much bigger than Songshan Village. It doesn't rely on mountains, and every household in the village has fields to grow, and they can barely live on.

Old Yuan's parents have all gone, and now her only brother Yuan Shuanzi is in charge of the family.

They had only three brothers and sisters, and there was a younger sister who married in Xiashan Village not far from Ping'an Village. The three brothers and sisters had a good relationship and had always had a good relationship.

Yuan Shuanzi and Lao Meng had two sons and one daughter together. The daughter was married, and the two sons had already married, and each of the subordinates had children. There were eleven people in the family, not many people, but the land left by the parents above was a total of There are nearly ten acres.

This is also the only son of Yuan Shuanzi, so it is all his.

But Yuan Shuanzi has two sons and three grandsons, so ten mu of land is nothing.

I have saved money for my son to ask for a wife, and I have to continue to take care of it for my grandchildren. The family is still living a frugal life.

Therefore, Mrs. Meng has always been thinking about Yuan Shuanzi's loan of a hundred dollars to his sister.

Who doesn't know the situation of this eldest sister's family?The man was long gone, and so was the only son, and finally the daughter-in-law was gone, leaving only the grandfather and grandson. I never thought that the granddaughter would get sick again.

The family doesn't have any income, and the idea of ​​relying on the elder sister to deliver the baby is not enough for him to chew on himself. If the one hundred money is borrowed, isn't it a meat bun to beat a dog?
Yuan Shuanzi wanted to help his elder sister, and he didn't mention the repayment. Although the old Meng didn't say anything about urging, he was not sure what to think.

So, seeing the old Yuan's visit at first glance, the first reaction of the old Meng's was this, could it be that he was going to come to borrow money again?
That Aqiu looked so sick, my son went to see her last time, and when he came back, he told her that he was sick to the bone and was very thin, can he be cured by just taking tonics?

Don't you run out of money if you don't eat well?I borrowed it again.

Thinking about it this way, Old Meng only felt his heart ache, but he still had to greet people with a smile on his face, "Big sister is here? Come and sit in the room."

Except for the old Meng family, only Yuan Sanping, the youngest grandson of the Yuan family, was at home. The rest of the family went out to work. Now it is the busy farming season, and those who have land have no time to relax.

Old Yuan Shi just came here because she knew that her elder brother would definitely not be at home at this moment.

"Sister-in-law is pulling weeds!" Old Yuan replied, and went into the main room with Old Meng who came out of the vegetable garden.

Old Meng washed his hands and went to pour a bowl of sugar water.

Nowadays, guests are entertained with sugar water, and this has to be a real guest, like the old Yuan Shi, who is an aunt who has returned to her natal family, so she must serve sugar water, otherwise it will not be a rule.

No matter how reluctant the old Meng family is, he still understands this rule.

However, she also took the initiative to ask what old Yuan Shi was doing here, and she only talked about some homework, and finally had to talk about Song Qiu.

"The last time Yuan Hua came to see him, he said that Aqiu was awake and able to eat. I haven't seen him for a few days, so it must be all right?"

During the busy farming season, there is no time to run around here.

When old Yuan heard his sister-in-law mentioning it, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Okay, it's already great, and it's alive and kicking, isn't it fungus now? It's on the mountain to pick up fungus all day long! Otherwise, I'll bring her here too. .”

When old Meng heard that he had recovered, he was able to go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms. It must be that he was in good health and did not need to take medicine.

Didn't the eldest sister come to borrow money?
It's not borrowing money, and at such a time, I won't come here specially, that's...

Old Meng's heart moved, thinking about the fact that the eldest sister said that she was picking up mushrooms every day, could it be that she paid back the money?

But after thinking about it, it’s not right. The fungus is only three pennies a catty, so Aqiu picks it up every year, and I haven’t seen it sold for a few bucks. It’s impossible to save a hundred coins so quickly, right?

Before old Meng could figure it out, old Yuan had already taken out a sling of money that he had with him, and said: "These days I have saved enough money by selling mushrooms and some vegetables at home, no, I have more money." , I came here to return the money, my sister-in-law has a lot of people in her family, and there are many places to use the money, so it's not easy to delay when I vacate this place."

Old Meng's heart was very surprised, this year's mountain fungus is so easy to sell?How long does it take to save money?
Really came to pay back the money.

She was secretly happy in her heart, but she still said on her face: "Big sister, what are you doing? Which one of our two families is with whom? If you have saved up the money, let's spend it on your own. We are not in a hurry here."
