Chapter 2 Come to ask for some money(1/2)
"Only your 4 work points a day? A half-year-old child can catch up with you, so you have the nerve to show it."
This Qiaoli has been lazy since she got married.
You know, when Zhang Qiaoli was at home, she could still get nine work points a day even if she didn't say she had full work points.
She is so lazy and cowardly now. It seems that the Zhou family is too tolerant of her.
"You keep clamoring to support others every day. With the little work you do, you can support yourself first, okay?"
Zhang Qiaoli didn't think there was anything wrong with only doing four work points when she could get nine work points.
"That's better than your lazy family. There was already one freeloader in the family, and now there are two of them. Life can't go on anymore!"
She said that when she was eating her rice, she was looking at Zhou Shuan.
Zhou Shuan has been working as an apprentice at a carpenter's house for the past two years and has not worked much.
Just when the eldest brother Zhou Guoan couldn't bear it anymore and was about to blurt out two words, Zhou Li'an got there first.
"Have you paid back the eighty yuan you borrowed from your family when your sister-in-law's younger brother got married?" Zhou Li'an stared at Zhang Qiaoli expressionlessly.
"you……"
"When will you pay me back? My sister-in-law is so diligent and noble, why don't we pay her back the money?"
Yes, Zhang Qiaoli borrowed the money from Zhou’s mother.
Zhou’s mother knew who Zhang Qiaoli’s mother-in-law was, so she didn’t want to borrow it, but she would cause trouble at home if she didn’t.
For the sake of peace at home, Zhou’s mother had no choice but to borrow it.
"My second brother and I ate food at home, but we didn't have the shame to use so much money from my husband's family to beat dogs with meat buns."
You know, country people have little income, and money is more precious than food.
After all, many things require money.
Eighty yuan is the annual income of many families.
"none of your business."
Zhang Qiaoli became angry from shame.
Zhou Li'an returned it expressionlessly, "What about me and my second brother at home? It's none of your business."
Zhang Qiaoli was choked.
Inexplicably, Zhang Qiaoli felt that her sister-in-law had changed.
Having heard her say this before, this sister-in-law might have been so ashamed that she couldn't even lift her head. Today, she could still look at her like this, which made her skin crawl.
Zhang Qiaoli decided not to talk about it today.
Mainly it was her mother's money, and she knew whether she would get it back.
It's just that she didn't want it.
What's wrong with a sister like her giving her brother some money?
Afterwards, there was a rare silence at the dinner table.
Zhou Li'an ate the egg custard shared by Zhou's mother, drank a small bowl of tasteless sweet potato porridge, and then put the bowl down.
"Don't want to eat?" Zhou's mother asked.
Zhou Li'an nodded, "You're full. Eat slowly."
After saying that, Zhou Li'an was about to leave, and she thought that Lu Yanzhou seemed to be getting a nutritional injection today.
"How can you only eat this little?"
Her three-year-old grandson ate more than her. Mother Zhou looked at Zhou Li'an disapprovingly.
"That's right, if you only eat this little, how can your body survive?" Zhou's father also agreed with his wife, his eyes full of worry for his daughter.
"I'm really full."
Zhou Li'an smiled at the two elders.
Zhou Shuan looked at Zhou Li'an and smiled: "..."
Where did his little sister go to learn face-changing in Sichuan Opera?
One moment he was expressionless, and the next moment he was smiling.
But when his little girl smiles, she is really pretty, very well-behaved, and very affectionate.
Zhou Shuan just doesn't understand, how could someone not like his little sister?
Zhang Qiaoli must be blind.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going out for a trip."
After Zhou Li'an finished speaking, he stood up.
"Where are you going? Mom will accompany you."
Zhou's mother immediately put down the bowl, stood up and wanted to follow her daughter.
There was nothing she could do, her daughter looked listless these days, and she was really worried.
Zhou Li'an pushed Zhou's mother back on the chair with her backhand, "No, Mom, you eat."
"well."
Mother Zhou was very obedient to her daughter's actions. She just winked at her second son as soon as she sat down, hoping that the latter would follow her.
Zhou Shu'an was ready to go without Zhou's mother's wink. He put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and chased after Zhou Li'an, "Come on, little sister, where are you going, my second brother will accompany you."
Zhou Li'an walked out of his small courtyard and saw Zhou's father's wooden chair at the door.
She twisted it away almost without thinking.
How can you do big things without tools?
This afternoon is the day when the county doctor comes to give Lu Yanzhou a nutritional injection.
An injection costs five yuan, and Lu Yanzhou can last for a week after one injection.
The original owner originally had some money in his hand, but he used it all to give Lu Yanzhou nutritional injections.
She walked in without a penny in her hand, but Lu Yanzhou had to take nutritional injections.
Not wanting to ask for money from home, Zhou Li An had no choice but to go out to look for money.
Time was urgent, so she had to adopt a special method.
"Little sister, what are you doing with the chair?" Zhou Shuan asked in confusion.
Zhou Li'an held up the chair and smiled harmlessly: "Of course I'll sit down."
"Second brother will help you get it."
Zhou Shuan took the chair from Zhou Li'an and asked, "Where are we going?"
"You'll find out soon."
Old God Zhou Li'an walked in front, and Zhou Shu'an followed behind with confusion.
After walking for a while, he saw his little sister stopped, and Zhou Shuan also stopped quickly.
After stopping, he noticed where he had followed his little sister.
This is his younger sister's husband's family, the Lu family, one of the only two brick houses in the village.
"Bang bang bang."
Zhou Shuan saw his little sister coming forward and knocking on the door.
What is this for?
Zhou Shuan was really confused.
But no matter what the little sister does, with him as an elder brother, he must not let his little sister suffer.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shuan immediately stood next to his little sister to prevent anyone who came to open the door from hitting her.
"Who is it?"
A slightly mean middle-aged female voice came from the brick house.
Neither Zhou Li'an nor Zhou Shu'an spoke.
Soon, there was the sound of someone opening the door cursing.
As soon as Zhao Cuihua opened the door, she saw the Zhou siblings standing at the door.
She raised her eyebrows, her face full of impatience, her eyes swept past Zhou Shu'an, landed on Zhou Li'an, and asked the latter rudely: "What are you doing back here?"
Zhou Li'an first lowered his eyes and smiled, then raised his eyes and looked straight at the other party.
There was still a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his cold eyes made people feel chilly. "Of course I'm here to chat with you."
It was obviously a very sweet voice, but it gave Zhou Shuan goosebumps all over his body.
To be continued...
