Zhang Xiaoyi returned to his home in Shanghai from school that day. However, his mother returned to her hometown in Harbin. He directly told his father that he wanted to borrow money to help Shen Xiaobing pay off his debts. His father was very happy when he heard it, "Son Yeah, as long as the girl meets our Zhang family's requirements for a daughter-in-law, helping her pay back the money won't be a problem. But..."

"But what, dad?" Zhang Xiaoyi's hope was blown up and dashed like a soap bubble by his father.

"It's your mother who has the final say. Let me ask your mother, by the way, son, why don't you tell your mother yourself? Your words are more effective than mine." Zhang Xiaoyi's father, Zhang Zhong, told his son the truth. .

"Dad, when I grew up, I spent a lot of money at home. My mother told me before that I would pay her back when I made a lot of money in the future. Now I ask her for money to help my girlfriend pay off her debts. Besides, this girlfriend is not guaranteed. But don’t worry, if you help her family pay off their debts, it will be guaranteed. Dad, what did you just say? Let me tell my mother in person. I really can’t speak, so you should ask her. I didn't ask." Zhang Xiaoyi can say anything to his father. After all, this is between a man and a man, but with his mother, she is a woman and cannot be looked down upon by a woman. Zhang Xiaoyi has always been a man in the eyes of his mother. When you have problems, you can't go to a woman, especially now that you've grown up, you have to solve problems yourself.

When Zhang Zhong heard that what his son said made sense, he agreed, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

"Don't give it a try. You must think about it before you talk about it. You can talk about it when my mother is happy." Zhang Xiaoyi worriedly gave his father advice.

Ever since Zhang Xiaoyi left school, Shen Xiaobing has been looking forward to hearing from him. Three days have passed and there has been no news. She is wondering if the sender did not deliver the letter to Zhang Xiaoyi, but she is too embarrassed to verify it. It seems It's like you don't believe me.

After a few days of silence, Shen Xiaobing felt a little uncomfortable. Before Zhang Xiaoyi graduated, she and her roommates would receive fresh roses every day. Although the ones sent before had not dried up, there were no ones sent on the same day. It was so fresh. She was sitting at the desk in her dormitory, looking at the dried roses that had lost their luster and fragrance. She suddenly missed the beautiful days she had just lost. Zhang Xiaoyi's smile and every frown were deeply imprinted in her mind. At this moment It was playing in front of her eyes like a movie. It was hard to say whether the family's debt was too much, which frightened him. Now is an era where money is the most important thing. Without money, it is almost impossible to live. Who is so stupid that he can do it for a person? Isn't this blackmail if the future daughter-in-law's parents' family pays off their debts? If I had known this, I would have just not told him. But if I don't tell him the truth, love is really out of the question.

When Shen Xiaobing was distressed, her two sisters came to see her. They all had jobs in Shanghai to help pay off the family's debts. They were dressed very ordinary and looked like rural girls. The three sisters I am used to staying at my grandma's house in the countryside, so I like to wear rural girl's clothes, flat shoes, and a ponytail behind me. I don't see any sense of superiority of a beautiful girl at all. According to my best friend, they are all rubbish. To put it bluntly, The only thing is that the total number of clothes for the whole body is less than 100. What kind of good clothes can I buy at a low price?

Shen Xiaobing told her sisters about her and Zhang Xiaoyi's affairs. The eldest sister, Shen Xiaojia, initially said that she would help Xiao Bing pay off the family's debt. Later, she heard that the second sister, Xiao Yi, said that if she repaid her share, Xiao Bing, in his place, would never marry anyone else in his life. Xiao A was powerless in the end and had no choice but to acquiesce to Xiao Bing and Zhang Xiaoyi's request for betrothal gifts to repay their debts.

"Eldest sister, second sister: How much money does the family still owe?" Xiao Bing wanted to know a number.

"My parents were in a car accident, and I was fully responsible. Not only was I seriously injured, but an old lady was also injured, and one person died. I was hospitalized. Including the compensation from others, it probably exceeded a million." Shen Xiaojia was worried. say.

"One million? More than that, right?" Shen Xiaoyi glanced at the eldest sister and said.

"The other thing is that the money we spent on schooling was all loans. Didn't Dad remember it for us?" Xiao A said, "There is also the fine for exceeding the family planning limit for you two."

Xiao B and Xiao C looked at each other without saying a word.

"For so many years, my parents have been hiding in my grandma's house in the countryside in order to avoid family planning. Both my parents were fired from their public offices. The family really has no financial income at all." Xiao Jia continued.

"Why did my parents have to give birth to us? Since they are so poor, it is enough to give birth to the second sister. Why do they have to give birth to me?" For the first time, Shen Xiaobing felt that he was a superfluous person in the world.

"It's all my fault that my parents couldn't stop thinking about having a son." Xiao Jia said.

"Then why didn't you give birth?" Xiao Yi asked the elder sister.

"Ask your parents." Xiao Jia couldn't explain.

The three sisters were silent. After a long time, the eldest sister said, "I got a bonus today, let's go have a big meal."

The two elder sisters knew that Xiao B spent less than ten yuan on food every day at school and was not willing to eat meat at all. Sometimes they only bought a steamed bun as a meal. When they heard that the eldest sister was going to treat them to a big meal, Xiao B jumped up with joy.

The reason why the three sisters are skinny is not because they are born slender, but mostly because they are unwilling to eat well. Both the colleagues of the two sisters and Xiao Bing's classmates know that their families are in difficulty, not ordinary difficulties, but extremely poor. Both parents are still paralyzed in bed and need help. Their daily living expenses, medical expenses and nursing expenses have to be shared equally among their three daughters.

Xiao Bing was already heavily in debt before she left school. She had known this for a long time, so she studied harder than any of her classmates. Her grades were among the best in the entire school year, and she received the school's highest scholarship every year. But for them, For families, a little scholarship is really a drop in the bucket.

The eldest sister Shen Xiaojia led her two greedy sisters to a fish restaurant. She wanted to feed her sisters fish. She knew that fish was more nutritious and healthier than other meats. Besides, they all like to eat fish. In rural areas, they all like to eat fish. When they were young, their grandfather often went to the river to catch fish for them. Those were wild fish and more nutritious. The three sisters, who had been accustomed to eating fish since they were young, went to eat fish when they were greedy in the big city of Shanghai, and There is a fish restaurant near Xiao Bing's school, and the fish is very delicious.

Zhang Xiaoyi seemed to be counting the time minute by second. Seeing that three days had passed, his father had not yet settled his mother. After asking, he found out that her mother was in a bad mood these days because of the fall in housing prices? His father was not at all I didn't dare to mention to her that Zhang Xiaoyi needed a large amount of money.
