The aunt said with a smile: "Third sister, don't be so modest, just tell us and satisfy our curiosity."
Ning Wanqiu looked hesitant.
Xu Xiuwen didn't want to embarrass his mother, so he took the initiative to say, "Aunt, don't force my mother. In fact, this TV series really doesn't make much money. I'm a newcomer, not a famous star, so the pay is very low, only about 300,000 yuan."
You must say it, but you can't tell the truth.
He also knew that if he talked nonsense and the number was too small, they probably wouldn't believe him.
So Xu Xiuwen said an amount of more than 300,000, which was neither too much nor too little.
After hearing the number of more than 300,000, the elders took a deep breath.
This number may not be a big deal for some families in the city, but for a group of siblings, it is definitely a big number.
You should know that a house in the market sells for less than 10,000 yuan. Many families in the village have large families and they can’t even get enough food or warm clothes.
Although they and their siblings were not in that situation, they still lived a tight life on weekdays.
As I said, what money can you make from farming? Just enough to make a living.
Chapter 265 Borrowing Money
Ning Wanju suddenly said, "Third sister, can you lend me 10,000 yuan? I want to buy a tractor. As you know, we don't have a tractor at home, so it's inconvenient to go to the fields to work every time."
No one expected that my aunt suddenly asked to borrow money at the dinner table.
Ning Wanqiu was also surprised.
She looked at Ning Wanju, and there was a pleading look in the fourth sister's eyes.
She couldn't bear to refuse.
But she also knew that she couldn't agree directly.
My eldest sister, second sister, brother and sister-in-law are all here.
If she agrees to lend money to her younger sister, then if other people ask for money, will she lend it or not
Her son had reminded her many times at home not to lend money to relatives easily.
So Ning Wanqiu knew clearly her son's attitude.
Faced with her fourth sister's request, she hesitated for a moment, but finally softened her heart.
She planned to lend money to her fourth sister privately after dinner.
And she had made up her mind not to use her son's money, but to pay out of her own pocket.
Ning Wanqiu is usually very frugal. She used to save money in order to buy a house for her son to get married in the future. She has saved a lot of money over the past ten years.
But now Xu Xiuwen can make money on his own, and a lot of money at that, so he no longer needs the money she has saved.
So Ning Wanqiu planned to lend money to her younger sister from her private savings.
It is said that no one knows a child better than his mother.
In fact, the same is true in reverse.
Xu Xiuwen knows his mother's character very well.
So he said directly: "Aunt, borrowing money is easy to talk about, but let me be frank. How long do you want to borrow it for? When will you pay it back? What if you can't pay it back? And let me make it clear first, I must write an IOU."
As soon as these words came out.
The dinner table suddenly became quiet.
My aunt opened her mouth, but in the end no words came out.
Grandpa suddenly said, "Okay, let's talk about these things after dinner, and eat well while you're at it."
Everyone at the dinner table had different thoughts.
Everyone ate quietly.
After lunch.
Ning Wanqiu pulled Xu Xiuwen to a deserted place.
She asked, "What do you think? Do you agree to lend money to your aunt?"
Xu Xiuwen smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't agree, then you will be in trouble. But I can lend you the money, but you must write down clearly what I said on paper."
Ning Wanqiu frowned and said, "You know your aunt's family's conditions. They definitely won't be able to pay it back in the short term."
Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "I know my aunt's family is not well off. The money she borrowed is not much, so I think I can lend it to her, but it can be once, not over and over again. I asked her to write an IOU, and it doesn't matter if she returns it or not. As long as she has the IOU, she will definitely be embarrassed to ask for money again, and this way I can save myself from being rejected again and again in the future."
Only then did Ning Wanqiu understand what he was thinking.
She thought about it carefully and felt that her son's approach was quite good.
She didn't mind lending 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to her fourth sister. After all, they grew up together and had some affection for each other.
But just like my son said, if the fourth sister cannot pay back the money, as long as she has the IOU, she will definitely be embarrassed to ask for a second or third time.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Ning Wanqiu agreed with her son's idea.
On the other side, my aunt and her husband were also discussing the matter.
The aunt still felt that her nephew was a little unkind. After all, they were relatives. Was he afraid that they would not pay back the money
She didn't expect Xu Xiuwen's deeper thoughts.
My uncle-in-law thinks it is quite reasonable.
He analyzed the situation to his aunt and concluded that buying a tractor would be of real help to the family.
If they really can't pay back the money in a short time, can Ning Wanqiu force them to sell their house and tractor to pay off the debt
Most importantly, there is no interest.
The couple discussed it for a long time and decided that even if they wrote an IOU, borrowing money would only have advantages and no disadvantages.
So my aunt came forward, found Ning Wanqiu, and agreed to write a promissory note.
Ning Wanqiu had talked to Xu Xiuwen, so she readily agreed to lend her 15,000 yuan, without charging interest, and requiring her to pay it back within three years.
The IOU was written in front of my grandparents.
After writing the IOU, Xu Xiuwen also asked his aunt to put her fingerprints on it.
When my aunt was writing the IOU, my eldest aunt, second aunt and my aunt were all present, and their eyes were flickering.
Although Xu Xiuwen didn't like the three of them, he still took the initiative to say, "If you have difficulties and want to borrow money, I can agree, but you have to write an IOU like my aunt, clearly stating when to pay it back."
After hearing what Xu Xiuwen said, the eldest aunt, the second aunt and my aunt all discussed it with their husbands in private.
In the end, my aunt's family borrowed 20,000 yuan, on the pretext of buying a van and then a sports car at home.
One thing to explain here.
In the rural areas here, many people often call small vans to go to other towns or other markets.
In the past few years, there were more tricycles, but now that the economy has developed, there are more vans.
What Xu Xiuwen knew was that in his previous life until a few years before his rebirth, there were people here who drove vans to pick up and drop off people. Although they couldn't make a lot of money, it was still no problem to make small amounts of money.
My second aunt's family also borrowed 20,000 yuan, saying that they planned to open a small shop in the town to sell things.
This is also a good way to make a living.
Don’t underestimate the countryside. Although it is poor, there are still many things that need to be bought.
Currently, there is only one small shop in the market. Some of the surrounding villages have small shops, while others do not. Even if there are some, there are very few things to buy, and most of the small shops purchase their goods from the shops in the market.
If my second aunt also opens a small shop, it should not be a problem for her to make some money.
Because Xu Xiuwen remembered his previous life, there were several large shops in the market later, which showed that the people in the nearby villages were enough to support several small shops.
My uncle borrowed 30,000 yuan, saying he wanted to open a car repair shop.
My uncle has good skills and can repair electric tricycles and motorcycles, but there is nowhere to show off his skills, so he is currently at home, making a living by doing carpentry work and occasionally taking on some car repair work.
He wanted to open a car repair shop in the market and even had a good address, but he just didn't have enough money.
The uncle wanted to borrow 30,000 yuan, but Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to lend him an additional 20,000 yuan, for a total of 50,000 yuan.
Xu Xiuwen didn't have enough money.
He made a special trip to town in the afternoon to get the money.
In the end, every brother and sister borrowed money. The least was borrowed by my aunt Ning Wanju, who borrowed 15,000 yuan, and the most was borrowed by my uncle, who borrowed 50,000 yuan.
Xu Xiuwen lent out a total of 105,000 yuan.
The four companies that borrowed the money were naturally smiling.
Although my grandparents didn't say anything, they were relieved in their hearts.
They knew that if Ning Wanqiu didn't lend them the money, the siblings might not say anything to their faces, but they would definitely be unhappy in their hearts.
Now that the money has been borrowed, everyone is naturally happy.
Xu Xiuwen smiled faintly.
