At this moment, at Lu Dashan's house next door.
Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua had just gone out for a short while when they were called back by their eldest daughter Lu Xiujuan.
When I came back, I saw Lu Xiujuan standing alone at the door, and I was shocked.
Especially since it was only a little after eight o'clock now. If she got home at this time, she would probably have to be a little after five in the morning. She must have left town as soon as it got light, right
It's so early, he must have rushed back because of something urgent!
Therefore, although Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua were anxious to earn work points, they were also worried about Lu Xiujuan.
Of course, what they were most worried about was her in-laws' family.
Therefore, as soon as they saw Lu Xiujuan coming back with a bitter face, Jiang Guihua and Lu Dashan started asking.
"What happened? Why are you back so early in the morning?"
"Did you do something wrong at the Wang family's place? What did you do wrong? Did they kick you out?"
"Speak up! Did you offend your in-laws? You little bitch, I knew you were useless and stupid. You were so lucky to find a city guy as your husband, but you ruined the marriage like this. You are a hopeless case!"
Without waiting for Lu Xiujuan to explain the situation clearly, Jiang Guihua began to scold her.
After all, in her heart, her daughter Lu Xiujuan was originally a person who wanted nothing but had nothing. The thing that made her most proud in her life was that she found Wang Chengwen as her son-in-law. It was because of this wedding dress that Jiang Guihua's attitude towards Lu Xiujuan became better.
But now that she realized that Lu Xiujuan couldn't even control this marriage, she was going crazy!
You know, Jiang Guihua doesn't care at all whether her daughter marries well or not, or how her life will be in the future. What she cares more about is whether the man she marries, that is, the future son-in-law, can help her precious son!
The four members of the Wang family are all workers. Obviously, according to their conditions, they can easily arrange a job in the city for her precious son Lu Jinbao.
That's why Jiang Guihua and Lu Dashan are so nice to Lu Xiujuan and their son-in-law Wang Chengwen.
You have to be nicer to the couple, after all, your son's job in the future depends on them!
But now…
Thinking that her son's job might be ruined because of Lu Xiujuan's mistake, Jiang Guihua simply reached out and hit Lu Xiujuan's arm twice.
There was really no force in those two blows, and red marks appeared on Lu Xiujuan's arms instantly.
However, Lu Xiujuan had become accustomed to being scolded and beaten by her parents without asking reasons.
Even when they treated her like this, she felt inexplicably happy and wanted to laugh.
After all, as long as they are ruthless and shameless enough, then after they know what she has done, they will no longer have the confidence to scold themselves!
Lu Xiujuan ignored the pain in her arm and spoke to Lu Dashan and his wife without any expression.
"I came back this time because something happened at my husband's house."
Seeing that Lu Xiujuan herself admitted it, Jiang Guihua and Lu Dashan were really disappointed.
It’s over, it’s over. Their relationship with the Wang family is probably going to be ruined. What will happen to their son in the future
Just as the two were lost in thought, Lu Xiujuan continued.
"Dad, Mom, we have some extra money at home, can you lend me some? My mother-in-law wants to borrow some money to do some favors so that I can get a new job."
What
Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua were completely stunned by the news.
"Borrow money? Where can we get the money? Are you crazy?" Jiang Guihua reacted strongly and started yelling when she heard this.
"The Wang family has four workers. How could they be without money? Did you, a damn girl, deliberately lie to us? Explain it to me clearly!"
In short, Jiang Guihua just couldn't believe that the Wang family would ask them to borrow money for no reason.
Other things are easy to deal with, but once money is involved, Jiang Guihua has to be extremely alert.
Lu Dashan didn't say anything, but from his expression it was obvious that he had the same idea as Jiang Guihua. Neither of them quite believed this, and they didn't want to lend the money out.
Of course Lu Xiujuan knew that this money was not so easy to borrow. After all, money was definitely the most important thing in her parents' lives.
But fortunately, her brother-in-law Wang Chengwu gave her some advice, and she could completely deal with it according to what he said.
Lu Xiujuan looked at Jiang Guihua and his wife expressionlessly, and then said, "I don't need to lie to you. In fact, my brother-in-law is waiting at the entrance of the village. If you really don't believe me, I'll call him over now."
Wang Chengwu did come here with Lu Xiujuan, but in order to allow Lu Xiujuan to give full play to her abilities, and also because he was worried that she would not be able to get anything out of Jiang Guihua and her husband with him here, he had temporarily left the Lu family and went to wait at the village entrance.
When they heard that the Wang family had also arrived, Jiang Guihua and Lu Dashan became anxious.
"The Wang family is here? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Jiang Guihua was afraid that Wang Chengwu had heard what they had just said, and he was extremely worried.
"Is he really at the entrance of the village, not inside the house, nor outside?"
Lu Xiujuan curled the corners of her mouth.
"If you don't believe me, you can go out and see for yourself."
Lu Dashan looked at her suspiciously for two seconds, but he was still worried. He went to the door, opened it and looked outside. Seeing that Wang Chengwu was not waiting at the door, he felt relieved.
However, thinking about what Lu Xiujuan had just said about Wang Chengwu waiting at the village entrance, he also realized that the Wang family was probably too embarrassed to come and ask in person, so they were waiting at the village entrance.
After thinking about it, Lu Dashan couldn't help it, and quickly ran two steps to the front to look at the village entrance. Sure enough, he saw a man holding a bicycle parked at the entrance of the village, and that figure was Wang Chengwu.
The moment Lu Dashan saw Wang Chengwu's figure from afar, he no longer dared to doubt.
He didn't expect that what Lu Xiujuan said was actually true. The Wang family actually came to them to borrow money
But how could the Wang family be so poor? How could they be so shameless as to ask their country relatives for a loan
Lu Dashan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he could only sneak back home and ask these questions.
Lu Xiujuan's explanation for this is very reasonable.
"The Wang family is not poor, but their money is all in fixed deposits."
Lu Xiujuan only learned about the unfamiliar term "fixed deposit" yesterday, but this did not prevent her from pretending to know a lot while explaining the situation to Lu Dashan and his wife.
After much persuasion, Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua finally understood what he meant. They also realized that it was not that the Wang family had no money but that they did not want to touch the money for the time being, and they would be able to take it out and give it to Lu Dashan after a while.
Hearing this, Lu Dashan naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to feel conflicted.
The amount of money that the Wang family wanted to borrow was not much, in fact only three hundred yuan. These three hundred yuan might not be enough for ordinary rural families, but because of special reasons, their family still had some money.
Even though a lot of the original money had been spent, with the remaining two or three hundred, plus the money they had saved from working over the years, it was not difficult to come up with three hundred yuan.
They really took out this money all at once, how can they explain it
And if they don't take it, will the Wang family be dissatisfied with them
After all, their precious son's future and career will depend on the Wang family. If they offend the Wang family at this time, wouldn't it cause trouble for their son
Lu Dashan couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he could only let Lu Xiujuan wait outside. Then he winked at Jiang Guihua and asked her to come in so that they could discuss it properly.
The couple was walking into the house, and Lu Xiujuan did not stop them, but she couldn't help but remind them when they entered the door.
"If my mother-in-law's job is well adjusted, it will be much more convenient for her to do many things in the future."
This means that finding a job for my younger brother will be easier.
This sentence successfully hit the hearts of Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua, and the balance in their hearts suddenly tilted a little.
But we still have to negotiate it, after all, three hundred yuan is not a small amount of money.
While they were discussing, Meng Yinyin and Meng Xuan next door had already heard about the Lu family's situation from the other side of the wall.
The brother and sister had very sharp ears. Not only did they hear clearly what was happening next door, they even guessed what Wang Chengwu and Lu Xiujuan were planning.
Meng Yinyin leaned against the wall and asked Meng Xuan in a low voice.
"Brother, can we wait until they take out the money before we can close the net?"
Hearing this, Meng Xuan looked at her with disdain and spoke in the same low voice.
"I think it would be faster for you to go back and dream."
If Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua really admitted it so easily, they would have returned everything to Lu Chen long ago, and would not have had the audacity to wait until now.
"Then should we just pretend we don't know and not show up?"
She wanted to wait and jump out to scold Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua.
Meng Xuan could see through her little thoughts and could only say this.
"Why rush? There are plenty of opportunities for you to take revenge."
I haven't really married Lu Chen yet, but I feel so sorry for him and worried about his affairs.
Meng Xuan would never admit that he felt jealous.
While the brother and sister were talking, Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua quickly discussed and made a decision, and then walked out.
"We'll borrow this money."
The person who spoke was Lu Dashan. He looked at Lu Xiujuan and said in a deep voice.
"Although we are relatives, as the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly, so I will lend you the money, but you have to write an IOU. Go and tell the Wang family. If they are willing, I will lend them the money. If they don't write an IOU, there is nothing I can do."
As soon as Lu Dashan finished speaking, he unexpectedly saw Lu Xiujuan take out a piece of paper from her pocket.
At the top of the paper were written in large letters: "IOU".
Lu Dashan’s eyes widened.
"The Wang family has already written the IOU and signed it. Don't worry, Dad. What kind of person is he to owe you such a small amount of money?"
Lu Xiujuan looked at Lu Dashan with a half-smile, and Lu Dashan looked unhappy because of her expression which seemed to be mocking him for judging others by his own mean mind.
But it must be said that it was precisely because Lu Xiujuan mocked him so openly that he was not so worried anymore.
After taking the IOU and looking at it for a few seconds, he made sure that there was nothing wrong with it before turning around and planning to go in and get the money.
At this moment, Lu Xiujuan behind him said.
"It's too late. I'll go in with you. After we get the money, we still have to go back to town to do some business!"
Lu Dashan naturally didn't want Lu Xiujuan to know where they kept their money, but Lu Xiujuan looked impatient.
"Dad, I'm married now and I don't have any keys anymore. Do you really think I can come back and steal your money?"
Of course Lu Dashan refused to admit that he thought so in his heart, but thinking that Lu Xiujuan really didn't have much chance to come back often, and she was also a member of the Wang family, it wouldn't be a big deal to offend her too much, so that she wouldn't say bad things about them in the Wang family.
In the end, he could only say it with a deliberately stern face.
"Alright, alright, what are you thinking about all day? Who said you were going to steal money? Just come in!"
Having said that, Lu Dashan opened the door and took Lu Xiujuan into the room under Jiang Guihua's worried gaze.
This was the first time that Lu Xiujuan was allowed to enter her parents' house. She felt happy but also unbalanced.
Her brother could go into any room he wanted and never asked for anyone's permission. He could even go into her parents' room at will.
Maybe he even knew where the old couple kept their money!
Only she had been treated like a thief by her family these years. Now that she had become the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, they dared not treat her the same way as before, so they let her in.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiujuan became even more determined that she would never leave the Wang family!
Only by staying in the Wang family can she avoid being despised and looked down upon!
