Chapter 51, the matter of borrowing money
Along the way, I greeted the old people and uncles in the village, and Li Fu soon returned to his home. Li Fu’s family conditions were really poor, and his parents were honest farmers. Although Li Fu’s father, Li Erlang, was called the second child, in fact Is the youngest of all siblings.

People of the older generation value sons over daughters, and the daughters born are all from other people's families, so only men are valued. Li Erlang has 4 older sisters and 1 older brother, making him the sixth eldest.

Li Fu's grandpa and grandma left before Li Fu was born, so after Li Fu and Li Xing were born, Li Fu's parents could not throw their children to their grandparents like other families did. Going out to work to earn money, you can only stay at home and farm.

Farming at home is exhausting all year round, just hoping to earn some income by selling millet. This is a hilly area, and each household has only so much land. In addition, they have to provide for Li Fu and Li Xing brothers. It is conceivable that this life is very poor.

If it weren't for the following years, fewer and fewer farmers in the village could plant other people's land, and even providing for the Li Fu brothers to study would be a big problem.

The family house is still the kind of mud, brick and tile structure house. It is the only one in the village that has not built a new house. Li Fu's parents have always wanted to save money to build a new house. They have saved a little bit in their hands over the years, but seeing Li Fu was about to graduate from university again, and was about to face the big event of getting married, so the matter of starting a new house could only be shelved indefinitely.

"Mom, I'm back."

Before Li Furen entered the house, he could already smell the aroma of his mother Liu Shuixiu's cooking, which was his favorite dish.

"came back."

Hearing her son's voice, Liu Shuixiu walked out of the kitchen and looked at Li Fu in front of her with a smile all over her face. Now that her son is promising, parents are naturally the happiest.

"Where's Dad?"

Li Fu walked around his house, in fact, there were only two houses, but although there were some leaks, Liu Shuixiu took care of them neatly and cleanly, full of the warmth of home.

"Don't mention it, hasn't your dad been urging you to come back recently? He is really useless. Now, he has been in a hurry. It is estimated that now, he is probably entangled with those relatives of our family again. "

When it comes to Li Fu's father, Li Erlang, Liu Shui is so delicate that he doesn't talk to each other, and his voice becomes louder when cooking.

"What's going on? What's going on in a hurry?"

Li Fu didn't know why, now that Li Fu is also a rich man, and his younger brother Li Xing is very promising to be admitted to university, what can his father worry about.

"What can we entangle with our relatives and father?"

When it came to these relatives in his family, Li Fu felt even more strange. Although Li Fu's family was poor, he didn't borrow money from them, and his ancestors didn't have any treasures worth fighting for. Farmers, is there anything worth pestering.

"Hey, it's not your father's fault when it comes to this matter, it's really useless."

The more I talked about Liu Shuixiu, the angrier I became, and I didn't even copy the food. Tears fell down my eyes as I talked, thinking about following Li Erlang in this life, I didn't want to eat well, and I didn't want to live well or wear well. All his life, he worked like a cow and horse, and survived all the hard times, but Li Fu's father was still so useless that he burst into tears.

"Mom, it's okay, it's okay, I have a son."

Seeing his mother crying, Li Fu hurried over to comfort her.

"Brother, the thing is like this. Didn't you pay 500 million to your family? Our family was already preparing for a new house last month, but Dad actually told the 500 million. The next thing is to poke a hornet's nest, and all the relatives of our family came to our house to borrow money."

Li Xing on the side took up his mouth and began to tell the cause of the incident.

"Your second aunt's family is so rich that they came to ask us to borrow money. They have several houses in the county seat, and their son drives a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. They even had the nerve to borrow money from us, and they said they wanted to borrow 100 yuan. Ten thousand."

"There is also your third aunt's family. In order to raise tuition fees for you, they were short of 500 yuan to borrow money from their family. Now they have the cheek to borrow money from our family, saying that they want to buy a car for their son. It’s so good to get married, but I actually want to borrow 50, saying that I want to buy a BMW.”

"And your uncle's family. When your father was bullied, your uncle didn't even ask. Now when he borrows money, he will talk about brotherhood. The first thing he asks is 200 million."

Speaking of this, Liu Shuixiu immediately said loudly, and tears fell even more disappointingly after reading the words of one family and one family.

"Borrow money?"

Li Fu frowned in an instant, never expecting such a thing. Almost every household in the countryside has many relatives, such as seven aunts and eight aunts, it is really hard to count.

"It's more than that. Those distant relatives who had never been in touch before have come to our house since you appeared on the TV station. Almost all of them used various excuses to borrow money from our family, and they all regarded our family as fat. Look, I am afraid that I will fall behind others and lose a share."

Li Xing on the side also had a sad face when he said this, and he seemed very unhappy. After he returned home, various relatives came to him almost every day, many of whom he had never met before and had no relationship with.

"Dad borrowed all the money?"

Li Fu frowned after hearing this. Li Fu couldn't be more clear about the character of his father, Li Erlang. To put it nicely, he was the kind of honest man who didn't know how to reject others. To put it bluntly, he was like Li Fu's mother. What Liu Shuixiu said was useless.

"If I hadn't hid the passbook, your dad would have lent out the 500 million you gave me without a penny left. He was really useless. Are those relatives short of money? Tell me about brothers and sisters." Love, your dad doesn't know how to speak in an instant, and he can do whatever others say."

"Your father actually nodded and agreed to borrow money. Do you know how much each of those people will borrow?"

"Your aunt's family said they wanted to borrow 200 million, your second aunt's family said they wanted to borrow 500 million, and your third aunt's family said they wanted to borrow 400 million... One by one is more ruthless than the other. The total amount of money that those people want to borrow has reached several thousand. Ten thousand."

"And now they all feel dissatisfied. The eldest aunt's family feels that they are short, and they ask your father to borrow more. The second aunt's family also feels that they are short, and your uncle's family is even more dissatisfied. All relatives are dissatisfied. , Everyone is afraid that they will lose something, and now they are pulling your dad every day to ask your dad to agree to borrow money, and they don’t know how much money they have agreed to lend. "

"Cough cough!"

The more Liu Shuixiu talked, the more angry she became, she coughed, and the tears on her face kept flowing. Seeing that her son was promising, the hard life he had endured all his life was about to come to an end, and he could live a good life for a few days, but Li Fu's father couldn't even refuse.

Knowing the whole story of the matter, Li Fu has the bottom line in his heart. Li Fu is not surprised at such a thing. With his father's personality, it really will be like this. No one has ever asked Li Fu's father for help. They would not refuse anything like that. As for borrowing money, Li Fu's family used to be poor, so no one borrowed money.

"Mom, there's no need to be angry, let alone shed tears. Dad is just too soft-hearted. Didn't the money go out?"

Li Fu tried to comfort his mother, but even made his mother shed tears for such a bad thing, and his father was really speechless.

"That's right, there's nothing to cry about. Relatives should help each other, but things like borrowing money don't save the poor. What's more, none of them are poor, and it's not that they are really short of money. My brother is rich and wants to take advantage of our family, and they keep saying that they want to borrow money. If they really borrow money, who will pay it back."

"Now that the money is still in the hands of my brother, these relatives are already arguing everywhere. Everyone talks about how and how they helped our family before, so how much and how much money should be borrowed. The typical meat is still there. In the sky, the people below are already arguing about how to eat."

Li Xing also followed up and said that during the time when he returned home, he had not been safe for a day. Every day someone came to him, and they would talk about their love for the year, and then the lion would ask for money.

"Mom, don't be angry, what's the point of being angry, the money is with your son, they don't even think about borrowing a penny. Back then, when our family borrowed some money from relatives, only the little aunt's family and the uncle's family helped. The others are all iron cocks, and they don’t want to take out any money, and now they want to borrow money, so I’m really embarrassed to ask.”

Li Fu smiled and continued to comfort his mother. In fact, this matter is complicated to say the least. In the countryside, there are too many trivial facts between relatives and neighbors. Since then, he has become an enemy and will not communicate with each other until death.

To say it is simple is actually very simple. As long as Li Fu's father is a little hard-hearted and knows how to refuse, the simple things will not become so annoying. These relatives and friends don't really need to borrow money to pay for it. For emergency, just simply refuse.

As for what they say about this and that, there is absolutely no need to pay attention to it. For example, Aunt Li Fu’s family said that they want to borrow money to buy a BMW to get married. This is even more nonsense. They can’t even find an excuse. , came to rob.

"Son, you must not be like your father. Otherwise, even if you are worth hundreds of millions, they will not be able to satisfy their growing appetite. Now they are all lions, and they are all hungry. Fear is less than people."

Hearing Li Fu's words, Liu Shuixiu also wiped away her tears, and couldn't help telling Li Fu.

"Do not worry!"
