"Second Aunt, why did you come here?" Lin Mo asked with a frown, he really couldn't think of the reason why Lin Zhi came here.
Lin Zhi's family is rich, so she doesn't have much contact with the two brothers in the family. Except for the holidays, she is almost impossible to see her. This year, Lin Jian was in trouble, and the old lady returned to Lin Jian for the elderly. She simply didn't go back to her natal home during the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, probably because she was afraid that the old lady would ask her to borrow money. Not only this year, Lin Jian had an accident in her previous life until the old lady passed away, and she only went back to her natal home twice in total, to attend the funerals of her younger brother and mother respectively. Because he was never close, Lin Mo always regarded her as a stranger by blood. Later, because of her deduction of Lin Shu's living expenses, she was not even a stranger in his heart.
Lin Zhi probably also knew that she had offended the two brothers badly. Later, it was rumored that the two of them got rich, but she didn't move forward much. Of course, depending on how much she loves money, it's probably not because she doesn't want to move forward, but because she doesn't know their phone number or their address, and every time the two of them return to their hometown to worship, most of the time they leave on the same day. She couldn't help it.
The so-called going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, Lin Zhi's sudden appearance, I'm afraid it's nothing good. Behind Lin Mo, Yu Dong saw Lin Zhi dodge subconsciously, and was caught by Cheng Hong.
Lin Zhi is less than two years older than Lin Jian. She is just in her early forties. She is medium-sized and slightly fat. She has white skin like an old lady, fashionable curly hair, and makeup on her face. She is well-maintained and looks younger than her actual age. Younger, she was quite pretty when she was young, but now, at first glance, she still has the charm of a mature woman.
She smiled and said: "Look at how you talk, you kid, those who don't know think you don't welcome your second aunt."
Lin Mo thought to himself, he didn't welcome you in the first place, if it wasn't for the sake of grandma and father, he wouldn't bother to talk to her kind of person who only cares about money. Seeing Lin Zhi rarely showing a good face to him, Lin Mo's heart sank slightly.
"How could it be, Ergu knew I didn't mean that." Lin Mo said with a slight smile, "The store is too small and messy, so I can only wrong Ergu to sit outside."
In winter, it gets dark early and the weather is cold, usually after four o'clock in the afternoon, the urban management will not hang out on the street much, so at this moment, Liu Li and the others have already put tables, chairs and benches in front of the store. In order to prevent the wind, there is a circle of thick canvas around it, so it is not cold to sit on.
Lin Zhi had no objection, originally she didn't want others to know the purpose of her trip, there were so many people in the shop, even if Lin Mo asked her to go in, she would not go in.
Lin Zhi sat down in the corner farthest from the shop, and asked with concern, "Is your father feeling better?"
Lin Mo looked calm: "That's it. During the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, grandma still talked about the second aunt visiting her. Dad and grandma were very sad that you didn't come. However, we all know that you are busy smoking in the store. No time."
The Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are big festivals. It stands to reason that no matter how busy the children are, they must visit their parents. Even if they can't spare time, they have to ask someone to deliver gifts and money to the elderly. However, not only did Lin Zhi and her husband Liu Lei not go this year, but neither of her two daughters Liu Mengxi and Liu Menghan were there.
Lin Zhi's face was slightly embarrassed, annoyed that Lin Mo didn't give her face, and thinking of her own purpose, she had to suppress her anger, so she could only use the donkey down the slope to accompany her with a smile: "That's right, the business in the store was good those few days, so I couldn't be too busy. Come, I will make it up for my mother during the Chinese New Year."
Lin Mo didn't want to beat around the bush with Lin Zhi, so he asked directly: "The second aunt took time off from her busy schedule today, is there something for you?"
Lin Zhi was full of homework, and before she had time to show it, Lin Mo interrupted her, feeling even more unhappy, with a slightly stiff smile on her face, "I want to ask you for help with a small matter, the most important thing is to come and ask Ask your father if he is better, it has been almost a year since his accident, and it is time to remove the steel plates, right?"
Lin Mo thought Lin Zhi was ridiculous. If she really cared about her father, why didn't she visit him at home once? Really treat him like a child.
"Well, just do surgery in a few days."
Lin Zhi's eyes lit up, and she pretended to ask, "Where is he having surgery? Still in the provincial capital?"
Lin Mo lowered his eyes slightly, what did Lin Zhi mean by asking? Obviously, she has always been indifferent to their family's affairs, but now she suddenly asked, did she know that her father had gone to country M for surgery? Their family didn't deliberately keep this matter secret, and many people in the village knew about it, but Lin Zhi had always looked down on not only the two 'good-for-nothing' brothers from her natal family, but also the 'hillies' who came out of the village. He rushed to curry favor with her, but was ridiculed by her. Slowly, people in the village stopped interacting with her very much.
In this way, who passed the news to Lin Zhi
Lin Mo remained calm, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "No, a friend helped us and got Dad to country M for surgery."
"Country M!" Lin Zhi exclaimed, pretending as if she didn't know about it at all, "Really, you won't encounter liars, right?"
Lin Mo suddenly came back to his senses, did Lin Zhi put his mind on Han Xun, I really don't know whether to say that she is too shrewd or ridiculously stupid
Lin Mo pretended to hesitate, pretending to be skeptical, "Impossible, I think Brother Han is not bad, he probably wouldn't do such a thing..."
Seeing that Lin Mo's expression was wrong, Lin Zhi rolled her eyes, and said tentatively, "He sent your father and grandma abroad to provide guarantees for you and to find a doctor for you, but he didn't ask you to give him money or make a call first. What is an IOU?"
"The money the family saved for Dad's medical treatment has already been given to him, and an IOU was issued to him."
Immediately, Lin Zhi had an expression of "I knew it was like this" on his face, a schadenfreude flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to ask anxiously, "How much did you borrow from him?"
"Two hundred thousand." Lin Mo thought about it, and probably reported a number.
Lin Zhi's complexion changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "Are you guys crazy? Two hundred thousand! What do you pay back? I think you have encountered a liar."
Lin Mo said hesitantly, "Probably not. Brother Han said that Dad can walk normally like us after surgery, so we signed the IOU."
The legs are broken and what a fart! Lin Zhi believed more and more that Lin Mo and the others had met a liar, but she still didn't give up, and asked, "Isn't he afraid that your family won't be able to pay back the money?"
Yu Dong said that the small shop opened by Lin Mo can earn hundreds of dollars a day. She also heard people say that Lin's small restaurant has delicious steamed buns and maocai, and the business is very hot. A facade, she looked at it. Their shop is three times larger than here, and on average, they only earn one or two hundred yuan a day. Do you really think that business is so easy to do? Yu Dong's kind of country bumpkin who has never seen the world has shallow eyelids and wants to marry Menghan, let him dream!
Lin Mo smiled and said: "Actually, Brother Han just mentioned it at the beginning. He knew our family's situation and didn't intend to help us. Later, grandma said..." Lin Mo seemed to realize that he had slipped his mouth, and suddenly fell silent. up.
Lin Zhi suddenly had an ominous premonition, and asked with a fierce face, "What did your grandma say?"
Lin Mo laughed so hard that his intestines were almost knotted, but he put on a look of embarrassment on his face. Under Lin Zhi's repeated questioning, he finally said hesitantly: "Grandma said that the second aunt's family has money. If you can't pay it back, you can ask the second aunt Borrow, and then, Brother Han promised to let us pay the IOU first... "
"Dream of his mother's spring and autumn!" Lin Zhi finally couldn't hold back her 'loving' face, and said in a vicious voice: "Do you think my family's money fell from the sky? Now there are so many building material stores in the county, and the business is one day How about one day, the family has a lot of expenses, how much money can you have? You go back and give it to your grandma, it’s best not to blame us."
Lin Zhi thought of Yu Dong's mention of that Brother Hu who looked more like a gangster than the one he played on TV, his face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, and he made up his mind not to associate with Lin Jian and his family again.
Lin Mo added fuel to the fire and asked: "But didn't the second aunt just say that the business was so good that she didn't even have time to go back to her mother's house during the holidays? Why did you change your mind now?"
Lin Zhi's face turned red and then green, and she gave Lin Mo a hard look, and said, "Business is good during the two days of the festival, and you can't even see a ghost."
"Second aunt, did you coax me into not doing business? I went to visit relatives and friends during the holidays. Whose business can be better than usual? Second aunt, your business is good for a while and bad for a while. It's a deliberate excuse not to How about going back to see grandma? Or pretending that you have no money in front of your nephew?" Lin Mo's eyes were like knives.
Lin Zhi was almost forced to tell the truth by Lin Mo's suddenly stronger aura, looking at his gloomy face, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, and hurriedly said: "I'm not pretending, I have no money in the first place." Then she pretended to look at it Watch, "Oh, it's getting late, I should go home and cook for your second cousin." After finishing speaking, he ignored other polite words and ran fast on his Mulan motorcycle, as if there was a ghost chasing after him. like.
When Lin Zhi got home, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Han Xun must be a big liar. It's not relative, why is he so eager to help the youngest? It's her own sister who is reluctant to spend the hard-earned money to make up for him! At night, Lin Zhi told her husband and second daughter about the matter, asking them to help figure it out.
Liu Lei was startled and said: "Your brother and the others are probably cheated, maybe they are in the underworld. If what Lin Mo said is true, your old lady has sold our family."
Lin Zhi stared wide-eyed: "What? Impossible! The IOU they signed has nothing to do with us? I didn't guarantee them!"
"How is it impossible?! Let me tell you, those gangsters don't care if you guarantee their family or not. As long as they know that you are his own sister and that you are rich, they will be like leeches in the field. You won’t let go!” Liu Lei is timid, and loves to scare himself, “From today on, draw a clear line between you and your mother and your brothers, and don’t let them cling to each other.” Turning around, he warned his little daughter, "You broke up with that Yu Dong earlier. If you have no ability, no money, no money, no good looks, you have brought such a big trouble to our family before you even entered the house."
Liu Menghan frowned: "This matter is that grandma and Uncle Yao are doing something dishonest. What about Dong?" Seeing her parents staring at her, she curled her lips and said, "It's not that you said that I should get some Lin from him." Mo's news, do you think I'm really willing to play friends with that kind of wimp?"
The Liu family ate in a small side hall behind the shop. Half a piece of newspaper was pasted on the window, just enough to see the outside and block the inside to prevent neighbors from visiting their house for dinner. The family was discussing in full swing inside, and forgot to pay attention to the situation outside, so no one saw Yu Dong coming, and left with a livid face.
