Changping Village.
Borrow money?
Yang Ruoqing pinched her ears subconsciously, and finally understood why her father and fourth uncle had to send her mother to call her over.
"Aunt, I want to ask, did Dabai explicitly ask you to come to my father and fourth uncle to borrow this money on his behalf? Or did you come to borrow it because you were good at making decisions without telling Dabai and wanted to share the burden for him?" Yang Ruoqing was very serious. ask.
Yang Huamei was stunned for a moment, "Is there... a difference?"
Mrs. Tan also helped: "Fat girl, what you are asking is nonsense. Dabai is Mei'er's son. They are a family. Whoever borrows the same thing doesn't have the same thing!"
Yang Ruoqing turned to Mrs. Tan and said with a serious face: "Of course there is a difference. If he understands what he means, then he is already so old, so he should go to the door in person and explain the amount of the loan to his uncles. The reason for the money, the interest on the loan, the method of repayment and the specific date, and finally, sign the document in white and black and press your thumbprint.”
"If this is what my aunt wants, then I have to explain everything clearly, and finally let my uncle and aunt sign and fingerprint it together."
Mrs. Tan tilted her head and listened for a long time, and finally said something light: "Isn't it just a matter of drawing a name and pressing fingerprints? How difficult is it? Mei'er, go and ask Dabai to come back and press it."
Yang Huamei looked embarrassed: "Dabai is busy right now..."
"Then press it." Tan said again.
Yang Huamei thought so, but Qing'er made it clear that she had to explain why she wanted to borrow money.
Yang Huamei said to Mrs. Tan, "Mom, don't worry, wait until I can explain the matter clearly to Qing'er, third brother and fourth brother."
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Auntie, please tell me first. I am responsible for explaining the process and acting as the middleman. As for whether I will lend you the money in the end, it depends on whether the reasons you gave can impress my father and fourth uncle. You explain."
Yang Huazhong nodded and agreed with Yang Ruoqing's words.
Yang Huaming changed to a more lazy sitting position and picked his ears impatiently.
Yang Ruoqing made it clear that the carriage and horse were none of her business, while Sun looked like a good person and smiled encouragingly at her, but Yang Huamei knew that Sun could not help. busy.
It seems that borrowing money is not as easy as imagined.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Huamei explained the reasons for borrowing money in detail under the gaze of several people:
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, fourth brother, Qing'er, this is what happened..."
"Today, my father-in-law and I, as well as Sister Shuanzi, went to Zhang Ji to find Dabai. It was originally because Zhang Ji's shopkeeper was gone and we were afraid that the shop would be broken up and that Dabai would not be able to survive."
"But when we went there, we met Dabai."
"Dabai actually broke the basin for shopkeeper Zhang as a filial son. We were really shocked at the time..."
"Wait!" Yang Huazhong suddenly raised his head and interrupted Yang Huamei.
"What are you talking about? Dabai is a dutiful son to Shopkeeper Zhang? He's crazy!"
Yang Huazhong's face darkened, and Yang Huaming was so shocked that he almost fell off his stool.
Yang Ruoqing and Sun were both stunned, and even Tan, who had always been on Yang Huamei's side, was dumbfounded.
"Absurd!" Tan also spat.
"How can you be a filial son casually? Even if Wang Shuanzi's sick young man can't stand my eyes, I know that this is not the right thing to do!" Mr. Tan spat on the ground again.
Everyone in the room shook their heads.
Although Yang Ruoqing is young, she has heard the importance of it from her elders.
A filial son who breaks the pot and supports the soul is not someone who can be chosen casually. Either he is a biological son. If there is no biological son, then he is a visiting son-in-law, like Xiaojie's father.
There is a third situation, that of adopted son.
Excluding these three situations, being a filial son and supporting the spirit is unjust and unlucky, and it is very unlucky for the blood relatives and elders in the family.
So even Tan was angry when he heard Dabai's move.
Yang Huamei quickly waved her hand: "I haven't finished speaking yet. We were also very angry when we saw that situation. Dabai's father was so angry that he rushed up and wanted to beat him. Shuanzi's eldest sister and I held him back."
"Later Dabai came to the backyard to explain to us, what do you think?" Yang Huamei was still in the mood to deliberately let it go.
Others were obviously not interested in guessing riddles with her.
"If you want to say it, just say it, don't hold back!" Yang Huaming urged angrily.
Yang Huamei was a little embarrassed, so she had to continue talking by herself.
"Dabai told us that shopkeeper Zhang had accepted him as his apprentice a long time ago and passed on all the secrets of Zhang's bun shop to Dabai. Before his death, shopkeeper Zhang accepted Dabai as his adopted son. Dabai now has dual identities, both as apprentice and He is the adopted son, and he can help Shopkeeper Zhang even if he throws a basin into his body and supports his spirit..."
Yang Huaming sat up suddenly, his eyes gleaming: "So, Zhang Ji's morning tea shop has also been passed on to Dabai?"
Yang Huamei was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"Zhang Ji's morning tea shop still belongs to the Zhang family. After all, Dabai has not been changed, and his surname is still Wang..."
Yang Huaming asked again: "Mei'er, does that mean Dabai changed his surname to Zhang and the morning tea shop belongs to him?"
Yang Huamei smiled bitterly, "Fourth brother, it is impossible for Dabai to change his surname. He is the grandson of the old Wang family. Moreover, he has promised this in front of me, his grandfather, and his aunt."
"Well, this kid has some backbone. He is not the kind of person who would completely throw away his ancestors when he saw money!" After Yang Huazhong commented, he put the dry tobacco rod back into his mouth.
On the contrary, Yang Huaming frowned and raised his hand to pat the armrest of the chair with regret.
Yang Huazhong lowered his eyes and glanced at Yang Huaming. Yang Huaming immediately pointed at Yang Huamei and said, "At least this kid has some conscience, otherwise, I, the fourth uncle, would be the first one not to spare him!"
"Auntie, Dabai's refusal to change his surname means that he has given up his inheritance rights to Zhang Ji Morning Tea Shop. This is very courageous. After all, Zhang Ji Morning Tea Shop is an industry that generations of Zhang family have worked hard to build. Dabai can Learning other people’s pastry skills is already a huge advantage.”
Even Yang Ruoqing said such a long list of compliments and gave Dabai a thumbs up.
"What, if that's the case, then why did Dabai borrow the money? Is it to bury shopkeeper Zhang? Isn't this too heavy on love and justice?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Yang Huamei's smile was a little dry, and she hesitated: "The Zhang family has money for burial. I understand that his wife and stepmother are still here, and she will take care of it."
"Dabai borrowed money... because he wanted to take over Zhang Ji's morning tea shop and start a business on his own."
"What? Dabai still has such ambitions? This guy is not bad!" Yang Huaming's eyes lit up again, and his voice rose a bit.
Even Mr. Tan was sitting on the bed with his hands folded, his lips pursed, as if he had nothing to do.
