Lu Xiaorong's slightly bulky body stood there helplessly, as if he had been seriously ill and looked very weak. Shen Lin felt a little heartbroken. He even regretted bringing her to ask for money!
In the past three days, he could feel Lu Xiaorong's anxiety, and he could also understand Lu Xiaorong's mood this afternoon.
Although Lu Xiaorong has developed on the road of being a writer under his own influence, it is undeniable that Lu Xiaorong is still a casual girl: easy-going and clear.
She does not have much social experience, and she is willing to trust her parents. Under the affection of her family and the attention of her parents, she often cannot save face.
It is precisely because of this that although Lu Xiaorong was reluctant, he did not know how to refuse.
In later generations, Shen Lin encountered countless such things, some of which happened to friends, and some to relatives.
It even happened to him.
Even though he will always live in regrets in later generations, he had to borrow tens of thousands of dollars from relatives because he couldn't live up to his reputation. Then he was unable to get the money back until he traveled through time.
"It's okay, don't be nervous." After Shen Lin returned, he focused on making money so that Lu Xiaorong and his children could live a good life.
But the focus of this good life is still his wife and his children.
"Who is it?" The door was opened, and as the door opened, an old man wearing a white vest and shorts, holding a cucumber in his hand, asked while eating.
When he saw Lu Xiaorong, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Xiaorong, why are you here? Come home quickly. Have you eaten?"
Lu Xiaorong looked at the man and calmed down a lot: "Uncle, we have already eaten. Is...is my brother at home?"
Only then did Lu Xiaorong's uncle notice Shen Lin. He chuckled and said, "You two are here, come in quickly, your brother happens to be at home!"
As he spoke, he said to Shen Lin: "Shen Lin, this is your first time coming to my house. Come on, let's have a few sips."
As he spoke, he shouted toward the inside: "Old woman, prepare two pairs of chopsticks, Xiao Rong and her uncle are here!"
Shen Lin looked at this tall old man who looked very similar to Chen Hongying, and thought to himself that he should not be like his mother-in-law.
The living room of the Chen family is five to six square meters. In addition to high and low cabinets, the furnishings in the room are a 14-inch black and white TV.
At this time, the black and white TV was turned on, and snowflakes seemed to be falling continuously on the TV series being played, but even so, the six or seven people eating dinner around the table were watching with gusto.
"Xiaorong, why are you here?" Chen Yongge saw Lu Xiaorong and Shen Lin walking in. He didn't panic at all. He looked very casual and greeted Shen Lin and Lu Xiaorong.
Immediately, Chen Yongge turned to Shen Lin and said, "This is my brother-in-law. I've always said that I want to have a good drink with you, but I just don't have time."
"Brother-in-law, you are a well-known capable person. You must help me properly in the future."
Shen Lin glanced at Chen Yongge and found that although this cousin spoke politely, there was a trace of unspeakable arrogance in his eyes.
This is a condescending feeling of superiority.
"Hello cousin, if I want to say you are the best, cousin, my mother said you can make a lot of money in these three days, why do you want me to learn from you?"
Shen Lin's polite words also contained a hint. He was telling Chen Yongge that the time has come and it's time to pay back the money. Chen Yongge laughed loudly and said: "Brother-in-law, my aunt is so complimentary. Come on, sit down quickly. Let my mother cook some more vegetables and we can have some drinks."
There were four dishes on the Chen family's table, one was fried pork with green peppers, the other was a torn roast chicken, a large stewed carp, and a plate of soy sauce beef.
Judging from these four dishes, the life of the Chen family is quite acceptable. In the middle of the wine table, there is a bottle of Wuliangye that has just been opened.
Judging from this posture, the Chen family today is improving their lives.
As for why it improves life, it goes without saying.
Just when Shen Lin and Chen Yongge were condescending to each other, Lu Xiaorong couldn't help but said: "Brother, when we borrowed money last time, we agreed that we would pay it back in three days. I came here this time to transfer our money Take it back."
"Shen Lin is now contracting the house of the cotton and linen company across the street in Paris. He is asked to pay the rent. This is when money is needed."
"Now that you have used up the money, is it time to return the money to us, forget about the interest."
Shen Lin looked at Lu Xiaorong, who was full of expectations, and said to himself that his daughter-in-law couldn't sit still at all. He just said hello and went straight to the topic!
Originally, everyone at the dinner table was talking to the couple, but Lu Xiaorong's words suddenly made the atmosphere in the room tense.
Lu Xiaorong's uncle's face suddenly darkened. He snorted and said, "Yongge, look at your cousin, it's like we have to rely on them for money!"
After hearing this, Shen Lin felt a little unhappy. You were happy when I borrowed the money. Now it's time for me to ask for money. What's the point of being so weird here! Lu Xiaorong should be less likely to interact with such relatives in the future. .
But this was Lu Xiaorong's uncle's house after all, so Shen Lin didn't say anything. When Chen Yongge returned the borrowed money, he and Lu Xiaorong left together.
Just don’t deal with me in the future!
"Xiao Rong, I thought I would be able to return the money to you in three days, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and doing business is not an easy task. The money hasn't come back yet. Why don't you wait any longer? "Don't worry, my cousin won't lose your money." Chen Yongge spread his hands, looking embarrassed but not blaming me.
When Lu Xiaorong was talking, Shen Lin's attention was always on Chen Yongge. Before Chen Yongge spoke, he noticed a trace of hesitation and hesitation on his face.
This hesitation gave Shen Lin the feeling that it was not that Chen Yongge couldn't afford the money, he was just unwilling to take it.
"Brother, Shen Lin is really in urgent need. Can you think of a way to return the money to us first." Lu Xiaorong rubbed his hands with a hint of begging.
Before Chen Yongge could speak, Lu Xiaorong's uncle became dissatisfied and said: "Xiaorong, how come you two are so unreliable in your work?"
"Your cousin has already said that if he borrows the money, he will pay it back to you in the future if he doesn't get it together now. Why, do you still think your cousin lied to you?"
"I'm not telling you, uncle, when you borrow money, you can borrow as much as you can, just do what you can. Look at you, you're here to ask for it in just three days? Who hasn't spared the money yet? When you were here, weren't you obviously making things difficult for your brother?"
Listening to her uncle's accusation, Lu Xiaorong almost burst into tears. If her mother hadn't been standing by, she wouldn't have wanted to borrow the money at all!
If he didn't say he would pay back the money in three days, she wouldn't borrow it either!
Now it's better, the person who borrowed the money has become a sinner, which makes Lu Xiaorong extremely uncomfortable.
But the person who spoke was her uncle after all, so she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shen Lin couldn't stand it anymore: "Uncle, cousin, don't be angry. Do you think this will work?"
"Since my cousin won't be able to come up with 80,000 yuan at once if he doesn't chip in, then give us part of it first." Shen Lin said this and said to Chen Yongge: "I need money now to contract the cotton and linen company. Shop, 20,000 yuan, how about giving it to me?"
He should be polite before fighting. Shen Lin would give in for the time being. After all, he was a relative of Lu Xiaorong. If he did a great job, his face would not look good.
At the same time, it also gives him a chance to step down.
In Shen Lin's opinion, this cousin definitely had money in his hands. He didn't know why he didn't want to give it all at once.
For Lu Xiaorong's sake, Shen Lin chose to take a step back in order not to cause any big disputes.
Give me 20,000 first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.
In Shen Lin's opinion, he was completely benevolent and righteous.
"Shen Lin, am I someone who depends on interest? I really don't have any money in my hands. The money has not come back. Just wait." However, Chen Yongge's shamelessness exceeded Shen Lin's expectations. He spread his hands and said: " Let alone 20,000 yuan, I don’t even have 200 yuan in my hand.”
Tears welled up in Lu Xiaorong's eyes. How could this cousin do this?
When he borrowed the money, he agreed to pay it back within three days. Otherwise, Lu Xiaorong would not have lent him the money with his mother's permission.
But now, he told himself that the money could not be repaid now.
And what he said made people even more angry.
"Cousin, I think you must have something, after all you have done such a big business." Shen Lin said this, pointed at Wuliangye on the table and said: "Brother, you are drinking such good wine, it must be business It worked."
Even though you are talking about this, can you still not understand it?
Chen Yongge glanced at Shen Lin and Lu Xiaorong, then thought of the money in his hand, and immediately made up his mind.
It would be a huge loss to pay this money back now.
I would really be sorry for myself if I didn’t use it more!
"Xiao Rong, Shen Lin, this wine belongs to my dad. He knows that I have not been going well these two days, so he went out of his way to comfort me." When Chen Yongge said this, he stretched out a finger and said: "I am really serious now. No money."
"Well, how about one year? I will definitely return the money to you after one year."
"Haha, we are all relatives. Brother-in-law, you won't make things difficult for me."
Looking at Chen Yongge, who was smiling and looking determined, Shen Lin's face became colder and colder.
He had already sensed Chen Yongge's attitude from his words.
This is a scam!
The money is in my hands, what can you do to me?
This is what Chen Yongge did.
In his previous life, Shen Lin also encountered this situation. He looked at Chen Yongge with a smile and said: "Cousin, are you not paying back the money?"
"Shen Lin, I told you, I have no money now." Chen Yongge spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Okay, hurry up and leave. Don't delay my meal. Where are my relatives? I don't even know how to be considerate of your cousin."
Lu Xiaorong's uncle waved his hand and said impatiently: "I really don't know how my sister educates you."
Shen Lin looked at the forbidding old man and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
His face darkened: "If you give me the money today, we can forget about it."
"If you don't give it, within three days, I will ask you to spit out the money with interest."
Looking at Shen Lin with a cold face, Chen Yongge suddenly felt a little chill in his back. He didn't expect that Shen Lin's cold face would be so tough.
But then, he threw aside the fear in his heart.
In his opinion, Shen Lin was just a little guy who was fired from the hardware machinery factory. He could cause some trouble.
I call him a relative because I think highly of him. He is worthy of threatening me here.
"Shen Lin, you drank too much. For Xiaorong's sake, I won't bother you, but from now on, you should come to my house less often."
"I don't have any relatives like you."
After Chen Yongge said this again, he glanced at his father.
His father had already arrived in front of Lu Xiaorong, and said condescendingly to Lu Xiaorong: "Lu Xiaorong, do you want your uncle to ask you to leave personally? Why do I have a niece like you? I... "
Before the old uncle could finish speaking, Shen Lin had already stood in front of Lu Xiaorong. He smiled at his uncle and said, "Don't worry, we'll leave now."
"Well, I've given up on this. If you return the money to me before nine o'clock tomorrow, everything will be easy. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
While talking, he picked up Lu Xiaorong, who was a little dazed, and walked directly towards the door.
