Chapter 515 Borrowing money

  Cheng's mother's family is not rich.

  Both parents are old and have no source of income. The whole family relies on Cheng’s mother’s younger brother Xie Jianshu to work alone.

   Even Xie Jianshu didn’t get married in his late thirties, because he had no money, and talked with several partners and they all blew it.

   Unless it is absolutely necessary, Cheng's mother will never open her mouth to borrow money from her natal family.

   This point, Xie Jianshu is also very clear.

   Therefore, when he heard Cheng's mother's request to borrow money, he did not refuse it outright.

  He is single now and has no children. He has high hopes for Cheng Ziyi, a niece.

   "Sister, I'll think of a way to send you the money tomorrow."

  Cheng's mother held his hand gratefully and guiltily, "Thank you, Jianshu. When Ziyi becomes successful in the future, I will make her repay your kindness even more."

   "What are you talking about, I am Ziyi's uncle, and I should support her self-motivation."

  The next morning, while Cheng Ziyi was having breakfast, she asked about Cheng's mother's cram school again.

   "Mom, have you told Dad about the cram school?"

  In order not to affect her daughter's mood for going to school, Cheng's mother could only vaguely say: "Your father and I are trying to find a way to raise money."

  Hearing this, Cheng Ziyi didn't ask any more questions.

  Going to the hospital to serve her mother-in-law after breakfast, Cheng's mother called her younger brother to ask about the money.

  Xie Jianshu on the other end of the phone readily agreed: "Sister, I will transfer the money to you this afternoon."

   "Okay, Jianshu, please excuse me, I will return the money to you as soon as possible."

   "Don't talk about this, okay, I'm still at work, so I'll hang up first."

"Eh."

   After hanging up the phone, Xie Jianshu took a deep breath of the cigarette between his fingers, his face full of exhaustion.

  He asked a friend around, and only borrowed 2,000 yuan, which was 8,000 yuan short.

   At this moment, a salesman of the company came to him with 20,000 yuan in cash.

   "Old Xie, this is a deposit paid by a customer for a renovation project, please help me issue a receipt."

"Row."

  After the salesman left with the receipt, Xie Jianshu opened the safe and prepared to put 20,000 cash in it.

  Xie Jianshu's company is engaged in building decoration, and often needs to pay wages to migrant workers.

  Most migrant workers do not know how to use WeChat or online banking. In order to facilitate settlement of wages, the company always has cash in the safe.

  Looking at the money in the safe, Xie Jianshu hesitated, and only put 10,000 in it.

   After school in the afternoon, as soon as Cheng Ziyi entered the house, Cheng's mother greeted her beamingly, "Ziyi, we have raised money, and we will go to the cram school to sign up tomorrow."

  Cheng Ziyi was ecstatic.

  After dinner, Su Zhi fed Lan'er Qing'er bird food, went back to her room to do her homework, and Xu Mei's video call popped up on her phone.

  Su Zhi happily connected, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"

   "Eat it, have you eaten it?"

   "Eat, Grandma Wang stewed the local chicken you brought two days ago. It's delicious."

  Xu Mei showed a smile on her face, "If it tastes good, drink two more bowls. It's cold, so you need to grow more meat to resist freezing."

  Su Zhi pouted, "No, I'm going to gain weight and I can't even wear my current clothes."

   "If you can't wear it, buy a new one, and you are not allowed to lose weight, do you hear that!?"

   "I didn't lose weight, I ate a big bowl of rice every meal."

  Xu Mei looked at her for a while, and saw that her face was ruddy, so she was relieved, and turned to business.

   "The bamboo shoots in the back mountain have been dug, when will your friend come and take them away?"

"Let me ask."
