Xia Ye faintly uttered two words: "I won't borrow it. I don't see them visiting me a few times during the holidays. Seeing that our family's conditions are better, I want to come and reap the benefits. Where can such a good thing come from?"
Xia Cheng's face darkened, and he said with some displeasure: "After all, they are your second uncle and second aunt. Their bones are broken but their tendons are still attached. Our family's conditions are better, so we can help them as much as we can."
"Dad, do you remember when I was in high school? Our family was in trouble and couldn't even pay the tuition for school. Do you think any of them were willing to help us? They were all hiding as far away as they could. ? It was the same when I was in college. Ask my mother to borrow tuition fees. Did these people give our family a good look? If it hadn’t been for my high school class teacher and Secretary Wan of our village, I would have been able to go to high school. I would have been able to go to such a high school. Is it a good university? Where were our relatives at that time?"
Xia Cheng fell silent.
He took a long puff of smoke and slowly blew out the smoke ring.
As Xia Cheng said, when his brothers were in the most difficult time, no one was willing to lend a helping hand.
As the eldest son of Xia Dynasty, in order to provide for his younger brothers and sisters, he dropped out of school early to farm at home to supplement the family income and earn tuition for his younger brothers and sisters.
As a result, these younger brothers were successful and married, and they had long forgotten about his brother who was kind to them.
Wang Lan said with a calm face: "I think my son is right! As for your two younger brothers, you can only treat them as good people. I even knelt down to pay for my son's tuition and was unwilling to borrow it. . Now they ask us to borrow money from them, how can they be so shameless?"
Xia Cheng said with an unconvinced face: "Don't talk about me either. Your brother is not a good guy either. Didn't he come to talk to you a few days ago?"
Wang Lan rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I drive him away? He was the one who led Xia Ye into gambling in the first place. I really want to beat him."
Xia Cheng curled his lips and said, "I clearly saw you secretly give him thousands of dollars. And when your sister came over, you also secretly gave him several thousand dollars."
Wang Lan's face turned red and he hesitated: "I... I will give you a few thousand, and they will pay it back as they promised. Are you going to be so cruel as your brother? A mouthful of one hundred thousand, how can they pay it back in the future?" Are you up?"
Xia Cheng smoked a dry cigarette and stopped talking.
Jiang Mu suddenly said: "Dad, Mom, can I say a few words?"
Xia Cheng and Wang Lan quickly sat up and looked towards Jiang Mu.
"I think Xia Ye is right. You can't set a precedent for borrowing money, otherwise they will definitely ask you to borrow money frequently. I think you must be cautious about borrowing money."
Xia Cheng and Wang Lan looked at each other.
Whether it is borrowing a few thousand or a hundred thousand, these relatives will never be satisfied.
Once borrowed once, there will be a second time.
And if you don't borrow it in the future, not only will the other party not be grateful, but they will also feel resentful because they don't borrow it.
Xia Ye said earnestly: "Dad, Mom. Let me put it bluntly, if you really lend the money, they will basically not repay it. With their current ability, they are basically unable to repay it, because they have no money to pay back." The amount borrowed is far beyond what they can afford. My second uncle's family used to work in a factory, and their combined annual income was only more than 10,000. They asked for 100,000, when will the money be repaid?"
Wang Lan nodded and said: "Old man, I think the son and daughter-in-law made a good point. Let's tighten our belts in the future and stop borrowing. It's not easy for our son to make money. We can't waste his money."
The stubborn Xia Cheng sighed and said, "Listen to your daughter-in-law on this matter. My daughter-in-law is more objective. Don't give thousands to Wang Cang, Wang Jiang and the others in the future."
Wang Lan snorted arrogantly: "Sure! Then let's listen to our daughter-in-law. Whoever borrows money again will be our grandson!"
Xia Ye felt dumbfounded.
It was obvious that he had been persuading him earnestly, so how come it was all Jiang Mu's credit?
Even Jiang Mu covered his mouth and giggled, lowering his voice and whispered in Xia Ye's ear: "Mom and dad are really cute."
While the family was chatting happily in the model room, Zhang Zhiyuan, one of Xia Cheng's best friends in the village, hurried over.
"Lao Xia, what are you doing? The pond contracted by your family has almost been drained by the villagers! Go take a look quickly!"
When Xia Cheng heard something happened in the pond, he stood up and quickly threw the cigarette in his hand on the table.
Xia Ye frowned and said, "Dad, haven't you gone to the pond and stared at it for several days?"
Xia Cheng slapped his thigh and said, "These people who have been stabbed a thousand times are still doing this kind of sneaky thing."
Xia Ye said in a deep voice: "Dad, I'll go with you. Since they like to do sneaky things, let's get to the bottom of it."
Wang Lan suddenly picked up the farm tools and handed them to Xia Cheng, saying angrily: "These bastards are just deliberately trying to make trouble for our family. Take them and drive them away!"
Xia Ye said to Zhang Zhiyuan who came to report: "Uncle Zhang, I need to trouble you to find Secretary Wan. My dad and I rushed over first to check the situation. As long as Secretary Wan arrives, we will go door to door to demand compensation, and no one will Don’t even think about running away.”
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Sure! Then I'll go find Secretary Wan right now. You guys go to the pond quickly, those people are still fishing."
Xia Cheng took the hoe from Wang Lan and walked towards the pond at the east end of the village.
As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan walked out of the model room, he saw a red car parked at the door.
He even walked around the car with an expression of disbelief.
Didn't Lao Xia's son drive a Mercedes-Benz last time?
Why did you change your car this time?
How rich is this guy?
When Xia Ye followed Xia Cheng to the pond at the east end of the village, he saw all the villagers holding fishing tools and fishing for crayfish, crabs and eels in the pond.
Xia Cheng yelled angrily: "What are you doing? This is a pond contracted by my family. Do you know this?"
When the villagers heard Xia Cheng's voice, they were all frightened and climbed out of the pond.
The villagers who had just caught a lot of fish by the pond quickly fled the scene holding stainless steel basins.
A person who runs fast moves like flying.
Those who ran slowly were caught by Xia Cheng and Xia Ye.
Those who were caught were none other than Wang Fugui and Li Haiyan.
Xia Cheng scolded with a sullen face, "It's you two again? Last time you wanted to occupy our land, and this time you caused damage in our pond. You are used to taking advantage of us, right?"
Wang Fugui said with a look of horror on his face: "Get out of here! Don't slander anyone! We are just here to take a look, we haven't done anything!"
Xia Ye sneered and picked up the fishing tools in their hands and said, "Then what are these?"
Li Haiyan blushed and said unreasonably: "What if we catch some crabs and lobsters in the pond? Your family has built a building, but you still care about this? Don't be so stingy, okay?"
