The female supporting role who was deprived of the koi luck in the chronicle

Chapter 174 Encountered Difficulties
Seeing Qiao Mu being so obedient, Susie smiled sweetly.

Seeing her smile, Qiao Mu had the urge to kiss her, but he didn't dare to be abrupt, he was afraid that she would get angry.

He could only hold her tighter, wishing he could crush the girl in front of him and embed her in his body.

The two talked for a while in the cave before going down the mountain holding hands.

Early the next morning, Qiao Mu went to the mountain to chop firewood and burn charcoal again.

This is the only way he can think of to make money now. He only hopes that he can make more money so that she doesn't have to go out and work hard.

Unknowingly, several days later, Qiao Mu and his house were filled with sacks of charcoal again.

Several people discussed it in the evening, and the next morning they quietly loaded the charcoal into the car and transported it to the county seat.

This time they drove the tractor directly to No. [-] Middle School in Simao County.

It was only after six o'clock at this time. In middle schools now, there are half-day classes and half-day labor, and there is no morning and evening self-study.

Several people waited for more than an hour before seeing some students coming to class one after another.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Xu Zhixia appeared on a bicycle.

Seeing Susie on the tractor, she stepped on her bicycle and stopped in front of the tractor, "Oh, you're here. It's been freezing cold these days, and there's no charcoal in our office. The teachers have been talking about it several times."

She smiled at Qiao Mu: "Wait a minute, I'll tell the doorman to let you in."

She parked the car outside the gatehouse, went in for a while and came out, then waved to Qiao Mu.Qiao Mu went in with a tractor, and Xu Zhixia led the way on a bicycle.

The tractor pulls up to the front of a two-story red brick office building.

Xu Zhixia parked her bicycle, "I'll go up and call them."

Not long after she went upstairs, she brought many people downstairs.

The male and female teachers surrounded the tractor at once, and this one shouted: "I want a bag, weigh it for me first, I still have classes."

The one shouted: "I want two bags, hey hey, can that guy help me carry them to the dormitory building?"

Susie kept keeping accounts and collecting money, and Qiao Mu and the others helped to carry them. After working back and forth for almost an hour, all the more than 3000 catties of charcoal in the car were emptied.

A few male educated youths cleaned the tractor, and everyone talked and laughed all the way home.

When they went back, Susie settled accounts in Qiao Mu's house. After Qiao Mu parked the car and came back, he handed Zhu Zhicheng a letter, "Your letter."

Seeing that it was a letter from home, Zhu Zhicheng quickly opened it and sat by the bed to read it.

Susie quickly settled the bill here, and sold 780 six catties of charcoal for a total of 180 yuan.

Yuan Gang said from the side: "We have to get rid of Qiao Mu's refueling money, and the money to buy sacks."

Susie pushed the notebook to Qiao Mu, "Then you do it yourself, I'm leaving."

As soon as she was about to go out, she saw Zhu Zhicheng sitting by the bed, holding the letter paper in his hand, his eyes were fixed.

Susie tilted her head, "Brother Zhu, are you okay?"

Zhu Zhicheng seemed to have woken up from a dream, and tried his best to smile, "It's okay."

Seeing that Zhu Zhicheng looked fine, Susie left the room without asking any further questions.

At lunch, Su Qian saw that Zhu Zhicheng was out of his mind, and didn't pick up any food, but just lowered his head to pick up the rice.

In the afternoon Susie was studying in the room when she suddenly saw a figure hovering outside the window. At first she thought it was Qiao Mu looking for her, but after a closer look it was Zhu Zhicheng.

Susie thought for a while, got up and went out, and whispered, "Brother Zhu, are you okay?"

Zhu Zhicheng lowered his head and hesitated to speak.

Susie smiled, "Brother Zhu, it's cold outside, why don't we sit in the kitchen and talk?"

People in the house who speak at the door will inevitably hear it.

She turned around and walked towards the stove house, and Zhu Zhicheng followed after a while.

Susie moved two chairs and placed them by the stove, where there were still some firewood burning and it was a little warm.

She sat down first, and then greeted Zhu Zhicheng, "Brother Zhu, sit down."

Zhu Zhicheng sat down in silence, keeping his head down and not speaking.

Susie didn't rush him either. Judging by his appearance, he must have encountered some difficulties.

It was probably a matter of his family, after all, he seemed worried after reading the letter from his family.

After a while, Zhu Zhicheng finally raised his head and whispered, "Susie, you, can you lend me 300 yuan?"

After speaking, Zhu Zhicheng blushed.

This was the first time in his life that he asked someone to borrow money. It was really difficult for him to open his mouth.

Susie hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Okay, is 300 yuan enough?"

This promises?
Zhu Zhicheng looked up at Su Qian in disbelief, "You, why don't you ask me to borrow money?"

Su Qian smiled, "Don't ask, brother Zhu, you must have encountered some difficulties. Fortunately, I can still take out the money."

Zhu Zhicheng was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

He choked up and said, "A letter from my family said that my mother is sick and needs an operation, and she needs a lot of money."

"I, I really can't help it."

During this time, although he earned more than 100 yuan from selling charcoal, his father said in the letter that the operation would cost at least 400 yuan, and the family could not afford a penny, so he could only count on his eldest son.

He got the letter and thought about it, even if he borrowed both Qiao Mu and Yuan Gang's money, it would not be enough.

Among the people he knew, he felt that only Susie could come up with such a large sum of money.

But being able to take it out and being able to lend it to him are two different things.

With so much money, few people would lend it to others casually, and he felt that his friendship with Susie was not enough for that.

He really didn't expect Susie to agree so readily.

Susie stood up, "Brother Zhu, wait, I'll go back to the house to get the money."

She went there for a while and then came back. When she came back, she handed Zhu Zhicheng a stack of big unions, "Brother Zhu, count them."

Just as Zhu Zhicheng wanted to say no, he remembered what Susie said in their room last time, the money must be counted face to face.

With his head down and tears in his eyes, he counted the money carefully.

Then holding the money, she looked up at Susie, "I will pay you back this money as soon as possible."

"I, I'll burn some more charcoal, I—"

Zhu Zhicheng couldn't go on talking, selling charcoal could only be done in winter.

If you work for two months in one winter, you can earn more than 200 yuan.

He estimated that it would take a year or two to repay Susie the 300 yuan.

Su Qian said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, don't be in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry to use the money, it doesn't matter if you take it slowly."

"By the way, are you going to send the money back or something?"

Zhu Zhicheng hesitated, "I originally planned to hurry up and work for half a month before asking for leave to go home, but now, I don't know what to do now."

Susie didn't give him random advice, but just looked at him quietly.

After a while, Zhu Zhicheng made a decision, "I originally planned to go back during the Chinese New Year, so I might as well leave early."

"My mother also needs someone to take care of her during surgery, so I'd better go back as soon as possible."
