I just want to live in peace

Chapter 4

Sun Xiangfeng smiled: "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? I buy these because I have a lot of family members. Brother, why don't you come to buy meat too? Go in quickly, I'll go first."

"Hey!" Sun Xiangyang wanted to stop him, but when he saw him get into the BYD car, he shook his head helplessly and walked into the shop, "Boss, here are two catties of mutton slices."

"okay."

Sun Xiangyang couldn't help asking: "Boss, how much meat did that guy in the black leather jacket buy from you?"

"Ten catties of beef, ten catties of mutton, a lamb chop, and a leg of lamb."

Sun Xiangyang was speechless: "So many?"

"New Year's Eve! Everyone will buy more meat. Weigh some for you too?"

"No need." Sun Xiangyang shook his head quickly, and changed his mind before going out, "Boss, weigh five catties of beef for me."

"okay."

Sun Xiangyang returned home with beef and mutton slices and handed them to Ye Xiaodan.

Ye Xiaodan blamed: "Didn't I just ask you to buy some mutton slices? Why did you still buy beef? If you want to eat it, I will go to the morning market to buy it tomorrow. There, it is two yuan cheaper per catty than in specialty stores!"

"Eat what you want." Sun Xiangyang tossed his coat and fell down on the sofa sullenly.

"what happened?"

"It's okay." He thought that his cousin would not repay the money he borrowed from him, and he would spend lavishly, so he felt uncomfortable.

Ye Xiaodan added mutton slices to the noodles, boiled it, brought a bowl for his daughter to the bedroom, and filled two more bowls: "Xiangyang, eat."

Sun Xiangyang walked to the dining table, watched Ye Xiaodan eat noodles, wondering: "Didn't you eat at work?"

"No. Our unit has a half-day holiday early every year on this day. It's a tradition, so I didn't bring any meals." She remembered that Hong Lei told her in a compassionate tone that it was ridiculous to give her an early holiday.In the past, in order to please Hong Lei for her promotion, she was grateful for Dade's support for whatever she said, but now she can do whatever she likes, and she doesn't care at all.

"You can eat something near your unit! I remember that there are quite a lot of fast food restaurants downstairs."

Ye Xiaodan shook his head: "It costs more than ten yuan to eat a bowl of noodles in a small shop. I cook a bowl at home, and two or three yuan is enough."

Sun Xiangyang felt uncomfortable: "Your salary is close to [-] yuan a month, and you can't even bear to eat noodles worth more than ten yuan?"

"Aren't we going to change rooms? Save as much as you can."

He took a sip of noodles: "Just now, I saw my cousin Xiangfeng at the beef and mutton shop."

"Why did he go to the gate of our community to buy meat?"

"That store has been open for many years. The quality of the meat is good, and many people will make a detour here to buy it."

"Oh." Ye Xiaodan didn't take it seriously, "Why don't you invite him to come and sit at home?"

Sun Xiangyang said: "He bought a lot of meat and lamb chops. Seeing that I was uncomfortable, he drove away quickly! I think his car seems to be newly bought."

Ye Xiaodan became angry all of a sudden: "What? If you have the money to buy so much meat and a car, why don't you have the money to return it to us?"

"That's what I said." Sun Xiangyang was very annoyed, "I think their family took me for a fool."

"Hurry up and eat noodles. After eating, let's go to your cousin's and aunt's house to block people."

Sun Xiangyang was a little embarrassed: "I just went there this morning, so it's not good to go again?"

Ye Xiaodan was very calm: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, just treat them as a New Year's greeting in advance." She wiped her mouth after eating, "Are you finished? No need to wash the dishes, just put them here, and wash them when you come back."

Sun Xiangyang heard that her tone was not good, knowing that his daughter-in-law was holding back her anger, and she might make a big fuss at Tang Shu Tang's house, so he hesitated: "Daughter-in-law, it's the Chinese New Year, or we can talk about it after the year? "

"After the next year, what are you going to say after you go there? They bought so much meat and bought a new car. At that time, they should say, during the Chinese New Year, when you spend all your money, who else do you want to go to?" "

"What if my auntie starts crying again?"

"Cry and cry! Whenever you ask for money, she will cry. Do we not want our own money to prevent her from crying?" Ye Xiaodan shouted to the bedroom, "Xixi, Mom and Dad go out first, after you finish eating Just put the bowl in the pool for rice, and when mom comes back to wash it, don't move!
Sun Mingxi poked his head out from the bedroom: "Mom, where are you going?"

"Go to your cousin's house and be back soon. You can rest at home by yourself. Mom will buy you something delicious when she comes back." She picked up the coats of the two of them and pulled Sun Xiangyang out.

Sun Xiangyang was still moaning in the corridor: "Daughter-in-law, Xiang Feng must be at my cousin's house at this time, maybe his wife is also there. Are we embarrassed to go at this time?"

Ye Xiaodan put on his down jacket, and strode down: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about? If their whole family is here, then it's all in order, so you don't need to talk about it at both ends. Back then, when they came to our house to borrow money, Your cousin and aunt came to our house, and your cousin and sister-in-law also came to our house to make peace, why didn't any of them show up when it was time to pay back the money?"

"Daughter-in-law, my cousin is sometimes unreliable, so don't get angry with them today."

"I didn't go there out of anger, but to ask for money and collect debts! They are really good at it. If they don't pay back the money, they have to be urged by others! No wonder people say that the one who owes money is the grandpa, and the one who asks for money is the grandson. Today I pay back the money." It's really not a grandson!"

Sun Xiangyang had experienced his daughter-in-law's fiery temper, and quickly persuaded him: "Daughter-in-law, they are my elders, we still have to be more polite to them."

"I know it. Hey, I forgot to take apples from home just now. You can just buy a few catties on the side of the road and watch them!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to just buy apples? Get some other fruit and a case of bars!"

Ye Xiaodan sneered: "Even if you bring thousands of dollars to their house today, they don't care, unless you don't want the 5 yuan."

"Why don't you want the money? I promised to lend it to them, but not for nothing. Our family's money is hard-earned by our husband and wife. We saved it frugally, and it didn't come from the wind!"

"Since you want to get the money back, don't be afraid to make them unhappy. Don't think about those messy things. Our goal is to get the money."

Sun Xiangyang thought about it, and said, "Daughter-in-law, what you said makes sense. I'll just buy some apples casually, not empty-handed, and be polite to them."

"Ah."

"Daughter-in-law, it's Chinese New Year. Let's go to ask for money twice in a row. If the relationship with them becomes stiff and we don't communicate with them in the future, isn't it good?"

Ye Xiaodan gritted his back molars: "If you don't have a relationship, you don't have a relationship. People who borrow money from others and don't want to pay it back, but only enjoy life, are not worth dating in the future."

Seeing her like this, Sun Xiangyang didn't dare to speak too much. He took a bag of apples and followed carefully.

Ye Xiaodan folded his hands in his pockets, trying to figure out the opponent's reaction in his mind.When she got to the door of the other party's house, she also had a plan in her heart, and asked her husband to ring the doorbell directly.

Xiang Feng's voice came from the room: "Come on! Who is it?"

Just as Sun Xiangyang was about to speak, Ye Xiaodan waved her hand, and when the door opened, showing Xiangfeng's surprised face, she smiled and said, "Xiangfeng is at home! I'm here to wish my uncle and aunt a happy new year."

Sun Xiangfeng pushed the door open with a nonchalant smile: "Sister-in-law really has a heart. Come in quickly!" He turned his head and shouted into the room, "Mom and Dad, Brother Xiangyang and his wife are here to see you!"

Ye Xiaodan saw with sharp eyes that Tang Shu and Tang Aunt were carrying a few bags of things to the kitchen in a panic.She walked over quickly.

Sun Xiangfeng held up the slippers and shouted, "Sister-in-law, change the slippers!"

Ye Xiaodan pretended not to hear, rushed to Aunt Tang's side, took Tang Aunt's hand and said, "Uncle and Aunt, Happy New Year. My niece and daughter-in-law are here to wish you an early New Year. Are you cleaning the kitchen? Ah! You bought so many Things! It seems that Xiang Feng has made a fortune. I said that this kid Xiang Feng is promising, and you two are blessed."

Aunt Tang put the nut box in her hand on the dining table in embarrassment: "Why are you two here at this time? Xiangyang just came here this morning."

"I heard from Xiangyang that you cried when you mentioned the repayment in the morning. It's all Xiangyang's fault. It's Chinese New Year, why ask the two of you to repay the money?"
