Seeing his grandfather's body falling to the ground, Li Shiqiang was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to hold him up.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Grandpa shook his head with lingering fear, and his grandmother and mother quickly gathered around him.
"Hey, Baoguo, where did you fall?"
"Old man, you scared us to death."
The second uncle on the other side was also frightened and panicked, and quickly shouted: "You can't stand on your own, it has nothing to do with me..."
After saying that, he ran out in a panic.
"I have something to do outside. I'll be back later."
Seeing his second uncle running out like this, my grandfather, who had just been helped by Li Shiqiang to sit down, immediately stretched out his hands and cursed: "You little son of a bitch, where are you running!"
Seeing my grandpa so excited, grandma and mom comforted me anxiously:
"Oh, Baoguo, please don't get angry with him."
"That's right, old man, why do you care about him!"
Li Shiqiang, who was standing aside, rubbed his grandfather's back and advised him, "Grandpa, don't make yourself so angry."
"Huhu..."
After taking a few deep breaths, grandpa finally calmed down, waved his hand and sighed: "Oh, don't care about him, don't care about him."
After grandma brought the tea and handed it to grandpa, she also sighed: "That's right, he doesn't even care about his own mother, so what do we care about."
"Looking at Yanmei marrying this bastard, I'm so angry!"
Grandpa turned to look at Chen Xianglan and said with some regret: "I thought I could find a good family for Yanmei, but who knew I would end up with something like this. If she could be like Xianglan..."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Chen Xianglan's lips, but she still shook her head and sighed: "Both Nong Chang and I lived through hard times. It was mainly because the second baby became capable that things got better at home."
"Yes, yes, Erwa is indeed capable."
After continuing to chat for a while at their grandparents' house, Chen Xianglan and Li Shiqiang went home.
It's almost dark, it's time to go home and make dinner.
Grandma originally thought about letting the two of them stay and eat together, but after hearing Chen Xianglan talk about having to cook for so many people in the family, she gave up the plan.
There are so many people in the Li family, big and small, so it’s not that easy to cook a meal.
When Chen Xianglan returned home and came to the kitchen, she happened to see the boss and the third child busy in the kitchen.
"Mom, you are finally back."
"Well, put the stuff over there and I'll get it."
Chen Xianglan took the things from the third child's hand with a smile and asked, "Have you guys come back yet?"
"He's back, Shun Qiang is back too."
"He's back from the cliff? Why did he go so long this time? Have you asked him?"
"After asking, he said that his mother is sick and needs to take care of her for a while."
"Now that he's back, his mother's illness should be cured, right?"
"Well, that's almost it."
While Chen Xianglan was chatting with her boss Li Shiying, a shout suddenly came from outside: "Sister Chen, are you at the top of the house?"
"What's going on?"
Chen Xianglan wiped her hands on her apron and ran out quickly.
"Guifang, why are you here?"
"Hey, Sister Chen, I have no choice but to come to you."
"What's going on?"
"Isn't it because my baby got sick some time ago? I ran out of money for the house all of a sudden, so I said I wanted to borrow some money from you, and I'll pay it back to you after the autumn harvest is done and the team divides the money."
"Borrow money, then I'll get it for you."
After waiting for her neighbor Chen Guifang to take the money and leave, Chen Xianglan was just about to turn around and go to the kitchen when another figure appeared at the door of the courtyard: "Is Li Paitou at home? Oh, is my sister-in-law here?"
Chen Xianglan smiled and nodded, and responded, "I'll call Nong Chang for you."
"It's okay, sister-in-law. I'm telling you the same thing. You also know that our baby recently got married and is getting married soon, but we don't have much money to hold a banquet for him at home, so we just He said he wanted to borrow some money from you to use."
"This...if you need it, I'll get it for you..."
Chen Xianglan was stunned, then turned around and went to get the money.
But just when she was about to enter the house to get the money, Li Shiqiang suddenly grabbed her and said, "Mom, do you want to borrow money?"
"Ah, what's going on? Your Uncle Zhou's baby is getting married, and he almost has no money to hold a banquet. He said he needs to borrow some money."
"Then when Uncle Zhou leaves, if someone asks you to borrow money again, will you borrow it?"
"Huh? Is there someone else?"
Chen Xianglan was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
"well..."
Li Shiqiang sighed softly and said: "Mom, we walked around like this this afternoon, and now everyone in the village knows that our family is rich.
After Uncle Zhou finishes borrowing the money and leaves, someone will definitely come to our house to borrow money later. "
After hearing what Li Shiqiang said, Chen Xianglan finally reacted.
Scenery comes at a price.
In a small mountain village, which family is not in difficulty and which family is not short of money?
When the house was built before, people in the village knew that the Li family was now rich.
But because the Li family paid wages to others, no one came to borrow money.
Now that the Li family's house has not been repaired, they have bought three more big items. Isn't this really making them richer?
Therefore, anyone who knows or has some relationship with the Li family will definitely want to borrow money.
"Ouch! If I had known, I wouldn't have let you take me out!"
After thinking about it, Chen Xianglan also sighed regretfully and asked: "Er baby, what do you think we should do? Should we borrow this money?"
"Our family has money now. If you don't lend it to others, you are afraid of others gossiping. If you borrow it, you won't be able to borrow it from so many people. Our family's money must be reserved for your wedding!"
Li Shiqiang had actually thought about this issue as early as when Chen Xianglan was planning to go out to enjoy the scenery.
After all, Jinsha Village is not a wealthy village. Once the villagers know that the Li family is rich, they will definitely come to borrow money.
But Li Shiqiang didn't want his mother to hold back because of borrowing money.
My mother went out for a walk this afternoon, and she was so happy that she felt at least a little bit sweet.
"Mom, you can borrow money, but we can't borrow everything. If any family can't survive, or needs to take medicine when they are sick, our family can borrow the money. But the money for weddings and banquets, our family can't Just don’t borrow it.”
"Yes, yes, you are right. If the person is really short of money, we will lend it to him. The kind of person who is not very short of money, forget it."
After being reminded, my mother responded immediately.
And after she went out to tell others, people came to her home one after another to borrow money.
I was busy until just before dinner, when I finally stopped.
"Hey, why do so many people come to borrow money?"
"It's not you yet. You insist on going out to see the scenery. Now you feel better!"
"Li Nongchang, you still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks here. So many people came to borrow money just now. Why didn't you say anything? Now you know how to make sarcastic remarks to me?"
"Unlike you, I can't show my face. If those people come to me to borrow money, I will be embarrassed to tell them not to borrow money."
But just when the mother and the old man were quarreling, another shout came from outside the house: "Chen Xianglan, are you at the top of the house?"
The third child looked outside and said, "Mom, the second aunt is here."
