90s Little Struggle

Chapter 19 Debt

Xiao Jianhua must be reluctant to be so generous to his daughter.

But Xiao Hong did have the [-] yuan ripped off from Xiao Jianhua, plus the money her grandma left her, she really had this amount of money.

"Ho ho!" Mrs. Zhao couldn't help swallowing when she saw the stack of money.

She didn't doubt that it was her son's money.

When his son married Wu Julan, the family had only paid off the debts, so there was no money for the wedding.

They borrowed here and there, and only then did they get together five hundred yuan, built a new house, held a banquet for their wedding, and searched and searched to make do with it.

The debt hadn't been paid off yet, and after Wu Julan gave birth to a child with dystocia, she went to the hospital and begged her grandpa to sue her grandma for hundreds of dollars to save Wu Julan's life.

According to Mrs. Zhao, it was not until last year that the fourth child paid off all the borrowed money.

To put it bluntly, the fourth child's family and two daughters spend a lot of money, so they don't necessarily have so much money?
Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that Xiao Hong lied to her, and thought that their biological father really loved Xiao Hong and couldn't bear her being rubbed by her stepmother, so she let her live with her biological mother for a while.

In this way, maybe his son will take advantage of it?
The corners of Mrs. Zhao's drooping mouth almost couldn't help turning up, and she was still nagging against her will: "Who knows if she despises your fate and is afraid that someone will drive you out if you beat me?"

Xiao Fang kept holding her mother's hand, afraid that she would fight with grandma on impulse.

Hearing this, she hurriedly said, "Grandma, my sister's life is very good. Grandma Xiao asked the most famous local fortune-teller to tell us our fortune when we were born, and said that my sister was born with three points of wealth, and she also I am very lucky, otherwise, when my sister fights with the aunt over there, he would still give so much money in private?"

It is said that three people become tigers, which is obviously false, and it was Xiao Hong who asked her to say this in front of Mrs. Zhao, but Xiao Fang felt that if she said it a few more times, she might be true.

Wu Julan originally had an angry face and trembled all over, but after hearing Xiao Fang's words, she froze for a moment.

She wondered if she was dreaming?
Otherwise, why didn't she know that her mother-in-law asked a fortune teller to tell Xiao Hong's fortune?
Now she is deeply afraid that her current mother-in-law will go to someone to tell her fortune, what if the calculation is different?
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't wait to ask: "Really? What is Xiao Hong's birth date?"

She thinks that Jiang Meizi from Qiancun is very good at fortune-telling and is very famous here. She heard that she was married to Qianshan only twenty years ago because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and she really avoided it.

Afterwards, she also figured out that if something happened to the Zhao family and the Qian family was in trouble, the Sun family would give birth to a son to relieve the disaster for the Li family.

Most importantly, Mrs. Jiang also figured out that their Zhao family's luck was bad, and sure enough, something happened to the third child in her family.

Later, it was calculated that Wu Julan's heirs were difficult.

As a result, Wu Julan had dystocia when she gave birth to Yanyan.

Since then, Mrs. Zhao has wished to move next door to Mrs. Jiang.

She is always worried that her family's bad luck is not over. Now that Xiao Fang said that Xiao Hong is blessed, she feels that she finally has something to look forward to.

Under the urging of her mother-in-law and the encouraging eyes of her two daughters, Wu Julan reported Xiao Hong's birthday a little nervously.

Afraid that she would forget, Mrs. Zhao specially asked Xiao Fang to write it down for herself, and then she left like the wind holding the paper with the date of birth written on it.

This situation made Zhao Youqiang a little confused.

Although he loves his wife, he is not an unfilial son who has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother.

His own mother nagged a few words, but he couldn't do anything to his own mother.

But originally he had planned for the worst, if a fight broke out, he would leave with his mother on his shoulders.

But now my mother is leaving so happily?

After Xiao Hong saw that his parents were a little overwhelmed, he put away the money calmly, and then smiled and said, "Mom, what are you doing for dinner? How about I come and show everyone?"

Although grandma spoiled her in the past, she knew how to do laundry and cooking, and she also cut rice and harvested wheat during the busy farming season.

After all, she is a girl from the countryside, so these things are nothing to worry about.

What's more, in the dream book, she did all the housework during the few years she was in the Zhao family.

Zhao Long's grandfather used to be a chef in a state-run restaurant, and he was very picky about food, so he even learned some cooking skills with her.

Xiao Hong has long wanted to try Dongpo pork, braised trotter, stewed pig's head, pork belly with ginkgo in soup, roasted pipa duck, fried crab with ginger and spring onion, and white-cut chicken.

She didn't dare to make big moves in Xiao's house before, not only because she was reluctant to part with the ingredients, but also because she was afraid of being suspected how she could cook those big dishes.

Now when I come to Zhao's house, even if my mother and sister are curious, I can say that my grandma taught me before she died.

Unfortunately, Wu Julan didn't believe in the eldest daughter's cooking skills, so she hurriedly said, "Go and collect the money, and I'll make dinner right away."

Zhao Youqiang also smiled at them honestly, and went to help clean up the fish by himself.

On the contrary, Xiao Fang was a little anxious about her carrying a huge sum of money, and said in a low voice, "I'll accompany you to deposit the money tomorrow, shall I? Passbooks are safer than cash, so we can't spend money carelessly?"

She didn't dare to let her sister hand over the money to her parents, for fear that her sister would feel insecure and feel that they wanted her money.

For this, she gave Xiao Hong all the one hundred yuan Xiao Jianhua gave her.

"How can I spend money indiscriminately?" Xiao Hong couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Besides, even if I want to spend money, there is no place to spend money in the village?"

"The thought of spending money and having to ride an hour into town on a bike puts me off buying anything."

Xiao Fang couldn't help but pursed her lips and corrected her: "There are a lot of ups and downs when we go to the town. If we ride a bicycle, half an hour is enough."

After finishing speaking, he urged her to go upstairs to lock the money in a box, took the opportunity to go to her mother, and whispered about how they spent money to 'bribe' Mrs. Jiang.

After Wu Julan finished listening, her frown finally relaxed: "You two slickers, you didn't talk to me earlier, it made me worry for so long."

Then he asked worriedly, "How much did you give her?"

I was afraid that people would think that they were too few and would not cooperate, so I told my mother-in-law what they did.

Xiao Fang originally wanted to tell the truth, but thinking of her own mother's temperament, she paused before speaking: "Mom, don't worry, did you give me ten yuan?"

"Huo, so much?" Wu Julan murmured with distressed expression, "Two yuan is enough for fortune telling."

Worrying again: "Your sister's hands are loose, so much money is in her hands, I'm really worried!"

Xiao Fang was afraid that she would take care of the money for Xiao Hong, so she quickly dispelled her idea: "Mom, you also know that my sister has a stubborn temper, so it must be left to her by grandma. Let's let her keep it?"

Wu Julan sighed: "Okay, Gaier will put a lock on her door tomorrow, or I'm worried about losing it."

There are few houses in the village that have locks. When they go out now, they just put a lock on the door, and the doors in the house are still made of wooden bolts.
