"If you don't have money, how can you have money? Your little sister has no conscience. She went to the city last time. Before she left, she didn't even give me the travel expenses. She was raised for nothing..."

Qin Jinlian's refusal to borrow money was expected by the couple, but there was still some anticipation in their hearts.

"Mom, we don't borrow this money for nothing. We will issue an IOU to you, calculate the interest, and guarantee to repay the principal with interest within one year."

Even though the couple's mouths were worn out, Qin Jinlian refused to borrow money because she had no money. Before leaving, she encouraged the couple to go to the city to find Shen Mingzhu.

Qin Jinlian refused to lend money to the boss, Shen Jianguo didn't say anything at the time, and only complained dissatisfied when he returned to the east room.

"When the family was separated, you didn't give the Chaobei couple a penny. Now they ask you to borrow some money for their business, but you don't want to. You are a mother who has no limits!"

Qin Jinlian was full of grievances, "You think I think so, you go outside and have a look, those who have passed away, either hide outside and dare not even go home, or are fined to ruin their fortunes, I can count on my second wife's belly, but also on my second wife's belly. Who? Are you counting on that damn girl of Mingzhu? You go and ask her to take out the money to pay the old man a fine, will you ask her if she is willing?"

Qin Jinlian began to wipe away her tears, "I held the money in my hand, so that you could embrace your grandson sooner, and it's not wrong to cooperate with me to plan for your Shen family?"

Shen Jianguo didn't like her a long time ago, "Grandson, grandson, you know grandson, what's wrong with granddaughter? Big deal, I'll find a son-in-law for Da Ya in the future!"

"It's easy for you to say..."

The east room and the west room are close together, and Yang Lizhen can hear the quarrel between the two elders clearly.

The next day, at the breakfast table, Yang Lizhen just took a bite of the noodle soup and ran outside covering her mouth.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Jianguo and Shen Xiangnan were still in a daze, but Qin Jinlian put down her chopsticks and chased them out in surprise and joy.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law muttered for a long time in the courtyard, and when they came in again, Qin Jinlian was all smiles, while Yang Lizhen was shy.

"... Lizhen is probably pregnant!"

Relying on the experience of those who have experienced it, Qin Jinlian made a sound analysis. Shen Jianguo and Shen Xiangnan were naturally very happy after hearing this.

Yang Lizhen touched her belly and asked about the gold necklace.

Qin Jinlian agreed, "Don't worry, I have all the money ready, and I will take you to buy it tomorrow."

"Thank you mom."

Yang Lizhen smiled very sweetly.

Outside the door, Shen Chaobei and Du Juan, who were about to come over to ask Qin Jinlian to borrow money, looked at each other, and finally went back in silence.

Back in the north room, the couple sat cross-legged on the kang, neither of them spoke.

My daughter, Daya, was playing with bamboo dragonflies outside the house alone, having a great time.

"They are all mothers. Why is our mother so hard-hearted? Da Ya is also her granddaughter. Isn't the granddaughter the blood of your Shen family?" Du Juan finally couldn't help wiping away tears.

Shen Chaobei was speechless.

In addition to being disappointed, it is more self-blame and ashamed that I can do nothing when my daughter-in-law is crying.

"Mom, don't cry..."

Da Ya ran in at some point, stepping on the wooden bench along the side of the kang and trying to climb up the kang.

Du Juan bent down and carried her daughter onto the kang.

The big girl who sat in her mother's arms stretched out her tender little hands to help her mother wipe the tears on her face. Crystal tears gradually accumulated in her eyes like black grapes, and her small mouth was flattened, as if the next second I have to cry too.

"Mom, don't cry..."

Du Juan, who was afraid of making her daughter cry, wiped away her tears, tried her best to smile and said, "I didn't cry, it's because sand got into my eyes..."

"Blow."

After finishing speaking, she pursed her mouth to blow Du Juan's eyes.

Du Juan also let her daughter do the blowing, and took out a small plastic comb with several broken teeth to shave her daughter's soft yellow hair smoothly.

Shen Chaobei looked at his daughter-in-law coaxing his daughter, his eyes were soft, and he continued to talk about business, "How about I go to the city again and ask Mingzhu for an idea?"

Du Juan said in a calm tone, "The Mingzhu Gang has enough, I don't have the face to look for her anymore."

Shen Chaobei sighed.

In the afternoon, after dinner, Du Juan took the few eggs at home and prepared to go back to her mother's house to find a solution.

When Du Juan went out, Qin Jinlian stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked around, muttering: "There is still a way, you know how to care about the money in my hand..."

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Du Juan came back in a hurry.

"How is it? Have you borrowed money?"

Shen Chaobei asked while handing her water.

Du Juan shook her head bitterly, "After my father died, my mother relied on my elder brother for a living. My sister-in-law held tight to the money, and my elder brother couldn't do anything about it, and my second and third brothers didn't have much money."

In this day and age, in such a poor ditch, every family saves their money by tightening their belts every penny, and they are reluctant to use it easily. Who would lend it to a married sister-in-law.

The next day, when Du Juan was about to go out, Qin Jinlian and Yang Lizhen happened to be going out too.

The young Yang Lizhen, on the contrary, was supported by the mother-in-law Qin Jinlian as if she was serving the queen mother.

"Boss, are you going to the city?" Qin Jinlian asked knowingly.

Du Juan already had a heart knot with Qin Jinlian, the mother-in-law, and was no longer as respectful and courteous as she used to be.

Du Juan's attitude made Qin Jinlian a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, she is living with the second child's family now, and the second child will take care of her in the future, and besides, the second wife will give birth to her soon grandson.

Thinking of this, she immediately put her discomfort behind her, and happily led Yang Lizhen to the town to buy a gold necklace.

-

"Pearl."

Seeing Du Juan standing outside the door with an embarrassed expression, Shen Mingzhu was not too surprised.

Xu Shi had long given up on Qin Jinlian, so when she heard that Qin Jinlian would rather buy a gold necklace for Yang Lizhen than lend money to Shen Chaobei and his wife to run the business, Shen Mingzhu was surprisingly calm.

Qin Jinlian's refusal to borrow money was partly due to partiality, and partly because she wanted to manipulate her in this way.

She lent the money to Shen Chaobei and his wife this time, next time Qin Jinlian will definitely come to her door to ask her to borrow money for various reasons.

If she doesn't borrow it, there will be trouble.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law have borrowed all the money, but the mother will not borrow it when she comes to the door?
"Sister-in-law, I can't borrow the money, but don't worry, I'll give you a way to guarantee that you can borrow the money..."

After hearing her advice, Du Juan thanked Dade for getting up and leaving.

Shen Mingzhu collected a few sets of old clothes that Pei Ziheng didn't wear anymore, and packed some candies and pastries for Du Juan to bring back to Da Ya.

When she got home, Du Juan divided half of the candies and cakes given by Shen Mingzhu and prepared to send them to Qin Jinlian.

Although she was dissatisfied and complained about Qin Jinlian in her heart, she would not be less filial to her daughter-in-law, and she would not leave anything to others.

The weather was fine in the afternoon, and Qin Jinlian sat in the courtyard embroidering a small bellyband.

Yang Lizhen sat next to her and ate melon seeds. A thin gold necklace around her neck was so shiny and eye-catching that Du Juan couldn't even see it.

"Mom, this is something Mingzhu gave me. I saved some for Da Ya to eat, and brought the rest for you and Dad."

Qin Jinlian glanced at the things on the small table, scratched her head with a needle, and casually asked Du Juan if she had borrowed any money.
