Wen Lan saw Lin Nianhe's smile again.
That familiar, scary, enamel-filled smile.
"What you said is so reasonable, it really enlightens me."
Lin Nianhe looked at Wang Xue with a smile, "Since you said so, I believe you will also selflessly dedicate yourself to 'everyone'. Let's do this. Although Comrade Miao Yulan and I have no friendship, we never spoke before she asked to borrow money. , but I still have to carry forward my style——"
She glanced at Miao Yulan and spoke in a low voice, but her words were sonorous: "I leave it here. I will lend you as much as Wang Xue lends you."
Wang Xue was instantly embarrassed.
She knew Miao Yulan's family situation very well.
The Miao family favored sons over daughters, giving birth to four daughters before they had a son. In the eyes of the Miao family's parents, daughters are nothing. Miao Yulan's three sisters all asked for high betrothal gifts when they got married, which was similar to selling their daughters, just to save money for the betrothal gifts for their younger sons.
Miao Yulan came to the countryside to replace her younger brother. Fortunately, otherwise her parents would have married her off in exchange for money.
In fact, Miao Yulan's life in the countryside was not easy. Like most of the female comrades in the brigade, she could barely earn six work points a day, and the food she received in exchange was just enough to feed herself.
But even so, Miao Yulan would send half of the grain to her family after the autumn harvest every year.
As for herself...picking wild vegetables, picking wild products, drinking cold water, as long as she doesn't starve to death.
She grew up in such a family, and had already been taught the twisted idea of dedicating her whole life to her younger brother. She never felt there was anything wrong with this, and even when she was hungry, she felt as sweet as honey.
Wang Xue knew about Miao Yulan's situation, and she also knew that it would be impossible to get the money back if it was lent out.
Of course, she couldn't lend money to Miao Yulan not only for this reason, but more importantly...
Neither did she.
Except that Wang Xue can eat more food than Miao Yulan, their pockets are generally clean.
Seeing Wang Xue's uncertain eyes, Lin Nianhe raised his lips and chuckled: "Comrade Wang Xue, how much money do you plan to support Comrade Miao? Comrade Miao's family has an urgent matter to get a wife. Let's put the money together and give it to the captain. I will send it to my uncle, I believe he will be willing to help with the remittance."
Lin Nianhe looked considerate, but what he was thinking in his heart was——
Don’t try to play this trick with me: return the money of the wealthy gentry in full and divide the money of the common people into 30-70 accounts!
Wang Xue probably thought of this as well, and was speechless.
Miao Yulan whined, and like a baby bird that couldn't find its roost, she flew into Wang Xue's arms and begged: "Wang Xue, Wang Xue! Please help me, please! Otherwise, I really won't be able to survive..."
Wang Xue hurriedly comforted her, but there was no time to make a high profile.
Wang Shumei pushed Lin Nianhe to the door, then pulled Wen Lan over, and said calmly: "It seems that Comrade Wang Xue still needs some time to think about it. Let's go back and rest first. It will delay work in the afternoon, but the whole educated youth is shameless." .”
Lin Nianhe smiled and left a message before leaving: "Please tell me the amount you have agreed upon, and we will go find the captain."
Lin Nianhe was a little confused. She was very sensitive to people's emotions. She was very sure that what she just saw in Miao Yulan's eyes was strong fear.
What is she afraid of?
Lin Nianhe couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it carefully.
When Lin Nianhe went out, he saw that most of the male educated youths who had gathered in the courtyard just now had gone back to their houses, leaving only Sun Guanghui standing by the door with a worried look on his face.
He asked: "How is Comrade Miao Yulan doing? Is there any way to solve it?"
Lin Nianhe looked at him with complicated eyes, pondered for a moment and then said: "She asked me to borrow two hundred yuan, but I didn't have it. Comrade Wang Xue advised us to help each other in our own style."
Sun Guanghui nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
After saying that, he went back to the house, and after a while he came out with a handful of money, neatly folded, in all denominations.
"This is all my belongings, thirty-two and eight dollars. Please help me get it to Comrade Miao Yulan!"
Sun Guanghui looked sincere. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, he would probably be able to put the money directly into Lin Nianhe's hands.
Lin Nianhe was completely speechless.
She wanted to write to the National Academy of Sciences and suggest that they take endangered fools like Sun Guanghui back and study them carefully.
His existence is the miracle of life!
Lin Nianhe was unable to complain, so he waved his hand tiredly: "I'm very tired, so I'm going back first."
Sun Guanghui didn't understand why Lin Nianhe didn't accept the money. He turned to Wang Shumei and handed the money hand forward.
Wang Shumei couldn't bear it and rolled her eyes at him, scolding: "You are stupid! This matter can be solved with ten or eight yuan? What's more, how can any sister go into foreign debt for her brother's marriage? It's impossible to borrow money now. Instead of helping her, it actually hurts her!"
Sun Guanghui was confused when he heard this, and asked at a loss: "Why? How can helping someone end up harming someone?"
Wen Lan on the side also found the superiority of IQ at this moment, and she disliked Sun Guanghui: "Eh, tsk, tsk... you are a melon." After saying that, she rolled her eyelids and went back to the house.
Sun Guanghui was confused and innocent, and wanted to know what was going on.
Seeing his virtue, Wang Shumei sighed extremely helplessly, pulled him aside and whispered: "Whose son will ask for the bride price for his daughter who goes to the countryside when he gets married? It is impossible for his family to pay back the money for Comrade Miao. The more she borrows, the heavier the debt becomes. How can a girl like her pay it back? How can she get married in the future?"
Sun Guanghui thought about it for a while, and finally got around to it. He frowned and said, "Then you should tell her!"
Wang Shumei rolled her eyes at him: "Go ahead, we are not familiar with her, so we can't say this."
Sun Guanghui wanted to ask what he should say, but he saw Wang Shumei also leaving.
He scratched his head, feeling that this should not be said by a gay man like him. He thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable way to say it, so he went back to the house.
After Lin Nianhe returned to the house, he bolted the door and tightened the curtains. After scrubbing his body, he climbed onto the kang and used a fascia gun to massage his sore muscles.
Before going to bed, she applied a thick layer of peppermint ointment to her palms. The pain in her palms was relieved, and she closed her eyes comfortably.
Lin Nianhe didn't want to worry about the matter in the front yard anymore, and Miao Yulan suddenly asked her to borrow money. She just thought it was the origin of the Miao family's family education.
She doesn't want to care about it, but she doesn't want to prevent others from letting her go.
"Hey, look at Miao Zhiqing's swollen eyes. Did something happen at home?"
When she got to work in the afternoon, her aunt noticed Miao Yulan's red and swollen eyes.
Miao Yulan was also a capable person. No matter how miserable she was, she didn't delay eating or going to work. She was obviously afraid that she wouldn't be able to earn today's work points.
She was here, but she had no intention of working. When her aunt asked, her tears fell on the rich black earth like broken beads.
"Hey, why are you crying, little girl? Just tell me if you have something to say."
There was no need for Miao Yulan to say this herself. Wang Xue was kind enough to tell her what should be said and what should not be said:
"Yu Lan's brother is getting married, but the bride price is still short. My uncle and aunt really have no choice, so they wrote to ask Yu Lan if they can get some together... The aunts all know that Yu Lan is the most filial person. , I want to break a grain of rice into eight pieces and eat it, how can there be any leftover?"
"But this is Yulan's only biological brother, how can we just ignore him?"
"It's also my fault that I'm incompetent and can't help Yulan, so she has to talk to Lin Zhiqing..."
The aunts listened and didn't even notice anything was wrong.
Although "men and women are equal" and "women hold up half the sky" have been propagated for a long time, the deep-rooted idea of carrying on the family line makes it difficult to change their thinking.
Especially in the village, most of the betrothal gifts were twenty or thirty yuan. A few years ago, twenty pounds of cornmeal could be used to marry a young girl.
Therefore, the aunts did not think that the Miao parents were at fault, and they did not think that Miao Yulan would be able to repay the money she borrowed.
Twenty or thirty yuan is a month or two's salary for city people. If you save up, you can pay it back in no time.
The aunts smacked the baby for a long time and kindly comforted her: "Miao Zhiqing, don't cry. Isn't this matter solved? Come to work quickly, don't think about that, and you'll be fine with it later."
Miao Yulan cried "Wow" even harder.
Wang Xue glanced in Lin Nianhe's direction: "What's the solution? She refuses to borrow it!"
The aunts looked at each other and turned to look in Lin Nianhe's direction.
In the cornfield, the small ball was slowly moving forward.
Under the green corn leaves, a touch of red is dotted.
