"That..." Su Shi's words that she had thought of in advance came to her lips but she could not spit them out. Her dry and wrinkled hands grasped the corners of her clothes and kept kneading them. Her thoughts were messy and the voice of the forest people sounded in her mind from time to time, seeming to urge her to let go. Loyalty inherited from the older generation.
"I'm here to borrow food."
Finally said it.
While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt like something had been abandoned by her. Su Shi felt a little guilty. There was no shortage of food in the family, but her natural habit of calculating and taking advantage made Su Shi know that Lao Lin's family was not short of food. , the forest people came to borrow food.
"Borrow food?"
Wang Cuilan's expression froze. Even though she had known from her granddaughter's voice that the Lin Min family would come to borrow food, she knew it, but after it happened, she would inevitably have some concerns.
She went out yesterday and saw a family of Lin residents coming in with large bags of New Year goods they bought. Her family was obviously not short of food, but they still came to borrow food. What kind of mentality was this?
Not mentioning this, is it really going to happen that the debtor is sent to their home as mentioned in Xinyin, causing a fight between the family and the debtor?
"Didn't your family buy new year's goods yesterday?"
Wang Cuilan sneered: "I bought so many new year's goods yesterday, and today I came to my house to borrow food. Why, your family is reincarnated as a pig god and eats all the new year's goods in one day?"
This is very interesting to say.
Lin Xiangrong almost laughed when she heard this. She lowered her head and took two sips of mung bean porridge. She looked at Su with her big, transparent eyes, but she locked eyes with the thin Lin Wumei next to her.
Lin Wumei stared at Lin Xiangrong with a pair of dark eyes. There was a little envy in her eyes. Her eyes lingered on Lin Xiangrong's new clothes. She seemed to notice her looking over and lowered her head to patch herself up. The corners of his clothes were tucked up, and his body shrank again.
It's a far cry from the way he looked when he was a bit low on self-esteem and forced himself to stand up.
If it were anyone else, Wang Cuilan would never say this, but this person is Su. Yesterday, Lin Min's family bought new year's goods and it was enough to feed the family for a long time, but she still came to borrow food.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see what kind of intentions this has.
Su's face turned red: "Sister-in-law, how could you say such a thing?"
As if she had been greatly insulted and wronged, Mrs. Su raised her hands to cover her mouth, looking very aggrieved. She whispered: "My family did buy food, but those who have to repay debts, those who go to repay debts, just There isn’t much left, and I’m not even sure whether I can survive the New Year.”
"The debt has not been repaid?"
Didn't you say that you had already paid back part of it? Why should you pay back so much?
But using money to repay debts is no better than using food. Why should we use food to repay debts?
Lin Dawei pondered for a while: "How much debt does your family still owe?"
Su Shi awkwardly named a number.
"Why are there more?"
Before, there was still more than one hundred yuan left to pay off, but just now, the difference is almost two hundred yuan!
It felt like there was no need to ask. Everyone in the house knew that the reason why the debt was increasing must be that Lin Mingze went out and owed money again and refused to pay it back. If he kept delaying it, he would naturally be hit by debt collectors during the Chinese New Year.
"Naruzawa..."
"Ningze... he wanted to start a small business. He lost money and told others to cover up the losses. In total, the difference was over five hundred."
Su Shi had a headache when she mentioned this matter.
Seeing that Lin Yuanan was doing carpentry in the town and could make a lot of money a month just by making a few beds, cabinets and some furniture, Lin Mingze was tempted to follow suit and start a business.
But he didn't have the brains or skills of others, so he went to the town to sell vegetables. He couldn't even calculate how much money he made and how much money he had to ask for from others. The principal that was easy to save was lost.
Later, he wanted to work as a mason to repair and build houses for others, but that job required craftsmanship, and it required learning and hardship. He had no intention of learning, and he didn't have the skills of others, so he couldn't endure the hardship. He could only find The man was drinking and playing cards, but was driven back not long after.
After that, he went into various businesses and kept going back and forth. Not only was all the family's money wiped out, but they almost starved to death. Only then did Lin Mingze stop and did not continue to mess around.
But he kept complaining every day, complaining that his family failed to give him a good living condition, that he couldn't even go out to learn a trade, but he forgot that he went to learn it because he couldn't endure the hardship, and he was driven away because he played cards and drank all day long. thing.
And in his words, he blamed Lin Yuannan.
If Lin Yuannan had this skill and he didn't know about it, would he be able to do business?
Su Shi, who had been listening to her son's words, took these words into her heart, and her face showed some of them.
She complained: "It's all your fault."
As soon as these words came out, people were shocked.
Zhang Miao sneered: "What does it have to do with my brother-in-law?"
Anyone can come and complain.
"If your third son hadn't been a carpenter and would go to town to do carpentry work for others when he had time, my Mingze wouldn't be tempted to do business, let alone lose so much money. This is all your fault. So my family owes so much money, and your family is also partly responsible!"
Lin Yuannan was so angry: "Third Aunt, you can't say this. If everyone can think like this, if someone kills someone in the future, when they are interrogated by the police, they can say, 'It's all the fault of so and so, so I went to kill someone. Yes, so he is also a murderer."
"Yes, the third aunt can't think like that. My third brother didn't ask Narusawa to do carpentry with him, and he did it alone. Why does my brother have to do it?"
After listening for a long time, she realized that there was something about her own family. Lin Lili quickly said, "Third Aunt, don't say that again in the future."
It doesn’t matter if others can’t hear it.
But if someone heard it, people who didn't know the truth would most likely think that Lin Yuannan deliberately let people get into debt.
There are several mouths that can't explain clearly.
"How could you do this?"
We are all a family, how can we kick our own family members away if something goes wrong? Furthermore, Naring Ze learns from Lin Yuanan when doing business, which means he trusts Lin Yuanan, but if he loses money in business, he will definitely not be with Lin Yuanan. Nan can't escape the relationship.
Su complained loudly: "If your third child hadn't helped Mingze, would Mingze have lost money? After all, we are all a family. How can we make money by ourselves without bringing along our brothers?"
"Go aside."
She had known for a long time that Lin Jian had brothers, but after so many years of marriage, her sons had married and had children of their own, and she had never seen her brother who was the head of the family. Wang Cuilan naturally believed that those brothers would not come to her in the future.
But in fact, Wang Cuilan was shocked more than once in just six months.
