Chapter 19 Debt
Author: cool beauty
Xiao Jianhua must be reluctant to be so generous to his daughter.
But Xiao Hong did have the two hundred yuan that she had robbed from Xiao Jianhua, plus the money left by her grandma, she really had this amount of money.
"Ho ho!" Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but swallow when she saw the stack of money.
She had no doubt that it was her son's money.
When his son married Wu Julan, the family had just paid off its debts and had no money to celebrate the wedding.
They borrowed money from here and there to get five hundred yuan, built a new house, held a wedding banquet, and made do with it.
The debt hadn't been paid off yet. Later, when Wu Julan had a difficult delivery, she went to the hospital and begged her grandfather and grandma to borrow hundreds of dollars, which saved Wu Julan's life.
As far as Mrs. Zhao knows, it was not until last year that the fourth child repaid all the borrowed money.
To put it bluntly, the fourth child’s family and two daughters spend a lot of money, but they don’t necessarily have that much money?
Mrs. Zhao didn't expect Xiao Hong to lie to her. She thought their biological father really felt sorry for Xiao Hong and couldn't bear her being abused by her stepmother, so she let her live with her biological mother for a while.
In this case, maybe my son will take advantage?
The corners of Mrs. Zhao's originally droopy mouth almost couldn't help but turn up, and she was still nagging against her will: "Who knows if they disliked your stubbornness and were afraid that you might defeat someone, so they kicked you out?"
Xiao Fang kept holding her mother's hand, fearing that she would get into a fight with her grandmother impulsively.
After hearing this, she quickly said: "Grandma, my sister has a very good fortune. Grandma Xiao asked the most famous local fortune teller to tell our fortunes when we were born. He said that my sister would be born with three points of wealth, and also
I'm so lucky. Otherwise, if my sister had a fight with the aunt over there, he would still give me so much money in private?"
It is said that three people make a tiger, which is obviously false, and Xiao Hong 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 become the truth.
Wu Julan originally had an angry look on her face and was trembling with anger, but after hearing what Xiao Fang said, she was stunned for a moment.
She even 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 was deeply afraid that her mother-in-law would go to someone to tell her fortune. What if the fortune teller was different?
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't wait to ask: "Really? What is Xiao Hong's birth date?"
She thought Sister Jiang from Qiancun was a good fortune teller and was very famous here. I heard that she had calculated that there would be natural or man-made disasters more than 20 years ago before marrying to Qianshan, and she really avoided it.
Afterwards, she calculated that if something happened to the Zhao family or the Qian family was in trouble, the Sun family would have a son to help the Li family.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Jiang figured out that the Zhao family was not in good luck, and as expected, something happened to the third child in her family.
Later, it was concluded that Wu Julan's heirs were in trouble.
As a result, Wu Julan had dystocia when she gave birth to Yanyan.
Since then, Mrs. Zhao couldn't wait to move next door to Mrs. Jiang.
She was always worried that her bad luck was not over yet, but now that she heard Xiao Fang say that Xiao Hong was lucky, she felt that she finally had some hope.
Under the urging of her mother-in-law and the encouraging eyes of her two daughters, Wu Julan told Xiao Hong's birthday and horoscope with some anxiety.
Mrs. Zhao was afraid that she would forget, so she asked Xiao Fang to write it down for her, and then she held the paper with the birthday and birth date in her hands like the wind and left.
This situation made Zhao Youqiang a little confused.
Although he loves his wife, he is not an unfilial son who has forgotten his mother.
Even if his mother nags her a few words, he can't do anything to her.
But originally he had prepared for the worst. If a fight broke out, he would carry his mother and leave quickly.
But now my biological mother has left so happily?
Seeing that her stepfather and mother were a little overwhelmed, Xiao Hong calmly collected all the money and then said with a smile: "Mom, what are you making for dinner? How about I show you my skills?"
Although her grandma doted on her in the past, she knew how to do laundry and cooking, and she could also cut rice and harvest wheat during busy farming seasons.
After all, she is a girl from the countryside, so these things are nothing to worry about.
What's more, in the dream book, during the years she stayed in the Zhao family, she did all the housework.
Zhao Long's grandfather used to be a chef in a state-owned hotel and was very picky about food, so she also learned some cooking skills.
Xiao Hong has long wanted to try out Dongpo Pork, Braised Pork Hoof, Braised Pig Head, Pork Belly with Ginkgo Soup, Braised Pipa Duck, Stir-fried Crab with Ginger and Onion, and White-cut Chicken.
In the past, she didn't dare to make any big moves in the Xiao family, not only because she was reluctant to part with the ingredients, but also because she was afraid of being doubted about how she knew how to cook those big dishes.
Now when I come to the Zhao family, even if my mother and sister are curious, I can definitely say that my grandma taught me this before she passed away.
Unfortunately, Wu Julan didn't believe in her eldest daughter's cooking skills, so she quickly said: "Go and put the money away, and I'll make dinner right away."
Zhao Youqiang also smiled at them honestly, and went to help clean up the fish.
Xiao Fang, on the other hand, was a little worried about her having a huge amount of money, and whispered: "Shall I go with you to deposit the money tomorrow? Passbooks are safer than cash. Can't we spend money randomly?"
She also didn't dare to ask her sister to give money to her parents, fearing that her sister would feel insecure and think they wanted her money.
For this reason, she gave Xiao Hong all the one hundred yuan Xiao Jianhua gave her.
"How could I spend money randomly?" Xiao Hong couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Besides, even if I want to spend money, there is no place in the village to spend money?"
"When I think about spending money and having to ride a bike for an hour to town, I don't want to buy anything."
Xiao Fang couldn't help but smile and corrected her: "It's a long downhill road for us to go to town. If we ride a bicycle, it only takes half an hour."
After saying that, he urged her to go upstairs and lock the money in the box. He took the opportunity to go to his mother and told her in a low voice that they had spent money to 'bribe' Mrs. Jiang.
After Wu Julan heard this, her frown finally relaxed: "You two little naughty guys didn't talk to me earlier, which made me worry for so long."
Then he asked worriedly: "How much did you give her?"
I was deeply afraid that they would be too young and unwilling to cooperate, so I even told my mother-in-law what they had done.
Xiao Fang originally wanted to tell the truth, but thinking of her mother's temper, she paused and said, "Mom, don't worry, why did you give me ten yuan?"
"Huo, so many?" Wu Julan muttered with a distressed look on her face: "Usually two yuan is enough for fortune telling."
Worried again: "Your sister is too loose. I have so much money in her hands. I'm really worried!"
Xiao Fang was deeply afraid that she would say she wanted to take care of the money for Xiao Hong, so she quickly gave up the idea: "Mom, you also know that my sister has a stubborn temper. It must have been left to her by her grandma. Let's let her keep it, shall we?"
Wu Julan sighed: "Okay, I'll install a lock on her door tomorrow, otherwise I'll worry about losing it."
There are not many houses in the village with locks. When they go out now, they just put a lock on the door, and the doors inside the house are still made of wooden bolts.
