After coming out of the third uncle's house, Jia Zhang's face was red with anger. As she walked away, she cursed: "This old guy is really as timid as a mouse. If you don't seize such a good opportunity, you will never make a fortune in your life."
Her voice was sharp and harsh, full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Banggeng also muttered at the side: "That's right, the third uncle is too stingy."
Their words happened to be overheard by the third aunt who came out of the house.
When the third aunt heard Jia Zhang scolding the third uncle, she immediately became furious. She walked up quickly, pointed at Jia Zhang and said: "Who are you scolding? We are wrong in not lending you money? You don't even look at it.
It doesn’t matter how virtuous you are, you still want to get rich.”
Not to be outdone, Mrs. Jia Zhang puffed up her chest and retorted: "What's wrong with me just scolding you? You are just timid and afraid of taking risks. If you have the ability, just lend us money and let us make a fortune."
The third aunt was so angry that she was shaking all over and said: "Why should we lend you money? You are not good people. Besides, this thing is not reliable in the first place. What if we lose money? We don't want to suffer the same fate as you."
"
Mrs. Jia Zhang and the third aunt started arguing, and no one would give in. Their quarrels became louder and louder, attracting the attention of the neighbors. Everyone gathered around to see what happened.
What happened.
Mrs. Jia Zhang returned home with a frustrated face. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qin Huairu busy with housework. She sighed and walked to Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, today is really unlucky. Banggeng and I
We went to the food station to get some cheap meat, but failed. Later we went to the third uncle to borrow money, but the old man was timid and refused to borrow money. He even had a quarrel with me."
Jia Zhang told Qin Huairu what happened in detail. When she talked about how she could make a lot of money, a glimmer of greed flashed in her eyes.
"Huai Ru, what do you think we should do now? This is a good opportunity. If we can borrow fifty yuan, we can make a lot of money."
Qin Huairu looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang's eager and helpless look, and suggested softly: "Mom, why don't we try to find the second uncle? The second uncle is not having a good life now, and he definitely needs a chance to make money. Maybe he
Will you be willing to lend us money?"
When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately shook her head like a rattle. "No, no, I just had an argument with Liu Haizhong a few days ago. He must be still angry now. How can he lend us money?"
Jia Zhang's face showed a look of embarrassment and reluctance.
She frowned and continued: "Besides, that Liu Haizhong has always been selfish. Even if he didn't quarrel with me, he wouldn't necessarily lend us money. We can't ask for trouble."
While talking, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu, her eyes lit up and said: "Qin Huairu, go and borrow money from Liu Haizhong. Who in our compound can borrow money better than you?
"
Qin Huairu stood aside with an expression on her face. She really didn't want to beg the second uncle Liu Haizhong. After all, Liu Haizhong's reputation in the courtyard was not very good, and Jia Zhang had just quarreled with him, so she wanted to borrow money at this time.
Money, maybe it will come to naught.
"Mom, I really don't want to go. The second uncle is not easy to talk to, and we just had a quarrel with him. He will definitely not lend it to us." Qin Huairu said with a slight frown.
When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's rejection, she immediately became anxious.
"Huairu, just go and give it a try. Now we have no one else to look for except him. Think about it, if we can borrow money and buy the meat, we can make a lot of money. Then we can share it with you.
With part of it, you can also buy some good things for the children." Jia Zhang persuaded eagerly, her eyes full of desire for that "windfall".
Qin Huairu was slightly moved when she heard that Mrs. Jia Zhang said that she would give her part of the money. She thought that the children at home had indeed not had good food for a long time and were living a tight life. Qin Huairu bit her lip and said
Finally agreed.
"Okay, Mom, I'll try. But I can't guarantee that the second uncle will lend us money." Qin Huairu said helplessly.
Seeing that Qin Huairu agreed, Jia Zhang's face showed joy. "Okay, okay, just go and try it. As long as you tell him carefully, maybe he will agree."
Qin Huairu came to Liu Haizhong's house with an uneasy mood. Before she entered, she heard a slight "sizzling" sound and a faint smell of alcohol coming from the house. She knocked lightly on the door, and there was a faint smell of alcohol coming from inside.
There was an impatient voice in the bangs: "Who is it?"
The door opened with a creak, and a strong smell of alcohol hit his face. His face was flushed with bangs, his eyes were a little blurry, and he was holding a small wine glass in his hand. When he saw Qin Huairu, he frowned slightly,
Asked: "What are you here for?"
On the table in the room was a half-drunk bottle of white wine, and a few side dishes were placed haphazardly.
Liu Haizhong staggered to the table, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it.
His eyes looked a little dull under the influence of alcohol, but there was a hint of vigilance.
"Second uncle, you are drinking." Qin Huairu said cautiously.
Liu Haizhong snorted and said nothing, but poured another glass of wine.
His movements were a little unstable, and some wine spilled on the table. He didn't care, wiped it with his sleeve, and then looked at Qin Huairu, waiting for her to explain her purpose.
Qin Huairu looked at Liu Haizhong, who was a little drunk, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up the courage to say: "Second uncle, I came here today to borrow fifty yuan from you."
When Liu Haizhong heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he almost lost his grip on the wine glass in his hand. "What? Fifty yuan? You really dare to speak." His voice rose a bit because of surprise, and his face showed disbelief.
expression.
He placed the wine glass heavily on the table, and some of the wine spilled. "Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, you haven't paid back the money you borrowed from me before, and now you've come to borrow fifty yuan. You think I open a bank?"
Huh?" Liu Haizhong's tone was full of accusation and dissatisfaction.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He stood up, walked unsteadily to Qin Huairu, and pointed at her. "Tell me, when will you pay me back the money you borrowed last time?
My life is not easy, you can't keep owing me like this. Now I want to borrow fifty yuan, but there is no way." Liu Haizhong's face turned red, and his eyes flashed with anger.
Qin Huairu was startled by Liu Haizhong's reaction. She quickly explained: "Second uncle, I know that the money I borrowed from you has not been repaid, but this time it is really urgent. We have an opportunity to make money.
As long as you borrow fifty yuan, you can buy a batch of cheap meat and then sell it on the black market, and you will definitely make a lot of money. Then I will immediately return the previous money to you along with the loan this time."
After hearing this, Liu Haizhong sneered. "Hmph, that's nice to say. Who knows if you're lying. Besides, even if it's true, what if we lose money? I can't take the risk. You should leave quickly.
, don’t waste my time here.”
He waved his hand and shooed Qin Huairu away like a fly.
When the second aunt heard the noise, she also walked out of the back room. She also had a look of dissatisfaction on her face. As soon as she saw Qin Huairu, she started to accuse: "Qin Huairu, this is wrong of you. You haven't repaid the money you borrowed from our family."
, and now I want to borrow it. We are not rich people, how can we lend you so much money." The second aunt put her hands on her hips, her eyes full of reproach.
Qin Huairu's face showed an expression of embarrassment and helplessness. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain but not knowing where to start.
She lowered her head slightly, avoiding the second aunt's eyes, feeling panicked in her heart.
But thinking about the situation at home and the money she might earn, Qin Huairu still mustered up the courage to explain again: "Second uncle, second aunt, I know it's wrong not to repay the money I borrowed before. But this time it's really different.
We really have a very good opportunity. We can buy cheap meat from the food station and sell it on the black market, and we will definitely make a profit. As long as you lend me fifty yuan, when we make money, I will definitely
I will pay you back as soon as possible, and I will also give you some more interest.”
Qin Huairu's eyes were full of expectation and sincerity. She hoped that the second uncle and the second aunt could believe her.
She continued: "Second uncle, second aunt, please help me.
Our family is also having a hard time, so this is really a rare opportunity.
If we miss it, we may never have such an opportunity again. I promise, you will not be disappointed this time."
Liu Haizhong pulled the second aunt into the back room. The light in the back room was slightly dim and the atmosphere became solemn.
Liu Haizhong frowned and said with a troubled expression: "Are you sure this is reliable? Qin Huairu said that you can buy cheap meat from the food station and then sell it on the black market and you can make a profit without losing money.
Nowadays, I can only get half of my salary, and I am being suppressed terribly by that Li Donglai. I really need a lot of money to improve the situation."
After hearing this, the second aunt immediately shook her head like a rattle and objected resolutely: "I think this is definitely not possible. Qin Huairu hasn't paid back the money she borrowed before. Who can guarantee that this time it won't be in vain? And the black market transaction is so
It's illegal, and if we get caught, we'll all be doomed. We can't take such a big risk for such an uncertain benefit."
Liu Haizhong kept pacing in the room, his heart full of contradictions.
He is eager to make a lot of money through this opportunity and get rid of the current predicament, but he is also worried that something unexpected will happen.
"But our life is really difficult now. If we could really make money, it would be very different."
The second aunt still had a tough attitude: "No, absolutely can't borrow it. We can't put the whole family in danger just for temporary greed. Let's just live our lives honestly and don't think about those crooked things."
"If there is no money, do you think Liu Guangqi will come back?"
As soon as these words came out, the second aunt was speechless.
Liu Guangqi is about to become a son-in-law now, and his life in Baoding is not easy, so he wants to be transferred back.
But the capital was overcrowded, and it would take a lot of money to get Liu Guangqi back.
The second aunt looked at the still tangled bangs and emphasized again: "If you really want to lend money to Qin Huairu, then you can only use your private money. I will never take this risk by taking out my family's money."
Yes. This black market business is illegal to begin with. If something happens, our family will be destroyed." The second aunt said firmly, with an unquestionable look in her eyes.
When Liu Haizhong heard that his private money was going to be used, his heart suddenly tightened. He had secretly saved his private money for a long time, and he was usually reluctant to use it. But when he thought of his current predicament and what he might earn,
A large sum of money made him waver again.
Liu Haizhong was silent for a moment in the room, the expression on his face constantly changing. He frowned for a while, gritted his teeth for a while, and had a fierce struggle in his heart. In the end, his desire for money defeated his hesitation. He clicked.
He nodded and said: "Okay, then use my private money. But Qin Huairu has to promise that this time he will make a profit without losing any money and return the money to us as soon as possible."
When the second aunt saw Liu Haizhong agreeing, although she was still a little reluctant, she didn't say anything else.
Liu Haizhong held fifty yuan in his hand and handed it to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu's eyes instantly ignited with hope. However, before her joy fully bloomed, Liu Haizhong made a request: "Qin Huairu,
This money is not borrowed for free, I want to buy meat with you and Jia Zhang."
Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Second uncle, this matter was initiated by the Jia Zhang family. I have to ask Jia Zhang family."
"Then please hurry up." Liu Haizhong snorted coldly.
Qin Huairu returned home with heavy steps. As soon as she entered the door, Jia Zhang couldn't wait to greet her. "How is it? Have you borrowed the money?" Jia Zhang's eyes were fixed on the money in Qin Huairu's hand, with a smile on her face.
A hint of joy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qin Huairu nodded, handed the money to Jia Zhang, and then said slowly: "Mom, the second uncle lent us the money. But..." She hesitated
After a moment, he continued: "The second uncle offered to go buy meat with us. He said he would not be cheated."
When Jia Zhang heard this, her expression immediately changed. "What? He wants to go with us? That's not possible! Who knows if he will use any tricks. No, absolutely not." Jia Zhang's tone was firm and she shook her head repeatedly.
.
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang's reaction and sighed helplessly. "Mom, I also think it's not good for the second uncle to follow him, but we have no other way now. If he doesn't agree to the second uncle's request, he will definitely
They won't lend us the money. Besides, we really need the money to buy meat, and this is our only chance."
Mrs. Jia Zhang frowned and paced back and forth in the room. "No, I just don't worry about Liu Haizhong. He has always been selfish, what if he does something in the middle? It's not easy for us to have this opportunity to make money.
We can't let him destroy it."
Qin Huairu walked to Jia Zhang's side and said softly: "Mom, I know you are worried that the second uncle will use tricks. But we can also be more careful. During the process of buying meat, we can always keep an eye on him and not let him go.
He has the opportunity to do bad things. Moreover, if we don't agree to the second uncle's request, we won't be able to borrow the money, and then all our plans will be ruined."
Jia Zhang stopped and looked at Qin Huairu, her eyes full of hesitation. "But... I'm still worried. That Liu Haizhong is not a good person. He will definitely find a way to take advantage of us."
Qin Huairu continued to persuade: "Mom, we have no other choice now. If we want to make this money, we must take the risk. Besides, the second uncle may not be able to use tricks. He also needs money now.
, maybe he just wants to ensure that his investment will not be wasted. We can discuss it with him and formulate a plan acceptable to both parties.
Besides, this matter was done without telling Li Donglai, we must do it as soon as possible, otherwise if Li Donglai finds out, we will be in trouble."
