Listening to Silly Zhu's opening to borrow money, the first man and the first aunt fell silent in a rare silence.
Silly Zhu thought that the other party was unwilling to lend him money. His face showed embarrassment and disappointment, and he immediately said,
"Master, mom, forget it if you don't have it."
When the first man heard what Silly Zhu said, his face showed a tangled look. After being silent for a while, he asked,
"Silly Zhu, why do you want to borrow so much money?"
Silly Zhu didn’t hide anything and said immediately,
"Master, Yuyu is getting married at the end of the year. I want to buy him a sewing machine, but I don't have enough money."
Silly Zhu receives thirty-seven and a half yuan every month, and the uncle knows it, and Silly Zhu helps the Jia family every month, and the uncle also knows it,
But what Yi Zhonghai didn't expect was that Silhu, a single man, could live a comfortable life just by spending ten yuan a month.
Even if you try your best to help Qin Huairu, ten yuan a month is almost enough. You should be able to save fifteen yuan a month, right?
He has been the monitor of the cafeteria for four or five years. Not to mention more, he should be able to earn six to seven hundred in a few years.
The first man immediately asked,
"Zhuzi, how many do you have in your hand?"
How many? Not even one cent!
Silly Zhu did not answer truthfully. He included the seventy points given by the deaf old lady and said calmly,
"Master, I only have more than eighty on hand!"
After hearing what Silly Zhu said, the first man did not continue to ask. Now he knew without guessing that Silly Zhu should have donated all the remaining money to Qin Huairu.
He had somewhat seen what Sha Zhu was thinking when he introduced his partner to Sha Zhu before, so in the next two or three years, he never mentioned this matter again.
I knew it would be in vain to say it, but I didn't expect that Shazhu didn't leave a penny for himself.
The first uncle and the first aunt looked at each other, and for some reason they both looked confused and ashamed.
Silly Zhu looked at the two people in trouble and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. He had feelings for the first man and the first mother.
When his father, He Daqing, ran away with the White Widow, it was his uncle and aunt who helped him manage their relationship before and after they ran away.
That's why he was allowed to take over He Daqing's class. It was also during the most difficult period for the elder brother and the older sister,
He often helped them with money and tickets, so Shazhu really regarded the first uncle and the first aunt as relatives.
If your relatives are unwilling to help you when you are in trouble, Silhu will naturally feel disappointed, but he also knows that he cannot blame the other person, so he squeezed out an ugly smile and said,
"Master, mom, just pretend I didn't say it."
Aunt Ma saw that Silhu thought they were unwilling to lend him money, so she immediately said,
"Silly Zhu, don't get me wrong, it's not that we don't want to lend you money! It's only five hundred yuan, but you can still afford it."
Then he looked at the elder and said,
"Lao Yi, come with me to the back room, and we'll get some money for Sha Zhu."
In fact, there is no need for the old couple to get money together. It was just an excuse for the eldest mother to find something. She had something to discuss with the eldest brother.
And you still have to avoid Silly Pillars!
It stands to reason that the first man receives a salary of more than 90 yuan a month. Not to mention a lot, he should have two thousand yuan saved in the house, and the old couple often help people in the courtyard and follow Silly Zhu.
It's close enough that you won't be so entangled in the other party's loan of 500 yuan. So why?
But they saw the two of them enter the back room, and the aunt took out a thick square wrapped in cloth from the gap between the wardrobe and the basket.
When I spread it out, I saw that the squares were all made up of ten-yuan pieces. I estimated that there were three to four thousand.
These days, although there are banks, but their wealth is kept secret, few people will keep their money in them. If they are small, it is okay, but if they are too much, they may be labeled as capitalists.
At this moment, the aunt quickly counted out fifty bills and handed them to the uncle. Then she put the money under the basket on the cabinet and hid it.
Then the eldest mother looked at the uncle with a complicated expression and said,
"Lao Yi, in the first few years when He Daqing ran away from the White Widow, he knew that the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters would not forgive him, so he kept sending us money and asked us to secretly help Silly Zhu and the others."
The eldest mother sighed and said,
"Later, Shazhu became a chef in the cafeteria and received a salary of more than 20 yuan, so we no longer needed to take care of him. But He Daqing kept sending us money. I was also obsessed at the time, coveting these hundreds of yuan.
, so that I always feel uneasy."
Naturally, you can’t feel at ease when you take money without conscience, which is why when Silly Zhu borrows money from them, he feels entangled, not about whether to borrow or not, but about whether to tell Silly Zhu about it.
The old man also sighed and said,
"It's my fault, but if I had to choose again, I would still spend the money."
The eldest mother glanced at the uncle with a distressed face and blamed herself,
"Hey, it's all my fault that I got gynecological diseases at that time. You didn't have much salary at that time, otherwise why would you do such a shameful thing!"
It turned out that the eldest mother had a gynecological disease and was even infertile because of it. The old couple went to various hospitals frequently because of this problem. At that time, the eldest father was only a seventh-level fitter.
It only cost fifty or sixty yuan a month. Although it was not a small amount, the money spent on medical treatment was a bottomless pit. So after watching Si Zhu become a regular worker and being able to take care of the rainwater, he secretly paid this money.
The old couple have been worried about this matter for many years. They wanted to tell Si Zhu several times, but they didn't know how to start the conversation. They were also worried about how the people in the courtyard would view them if this matter was exposed, so they simply kept talking.
Hide and tuck.
At this time, Sha Zhu came to borrow money. The old couple felt that this was a good time to confess, but they were also worried about how Sha Zhu would treat them if they told Sha Zhu.
The old man rubbed the big knot in his hand, looked at the aunt who was getting haggard, his face changed several times, and finally he said,
"Old lady, you often don't even get a good night's sleep because of this matter. Let's stop worrying about it and just tell Zhu Ming directly."
Listening to the uncle's words, the aunt seemed very hesitant. A person wants face and a tree needs bark. If this matter is exposed, how can the two of them have the dignity to stay in this yard.
When the elder saw the frowning aunt, he immediately said,
"Okay, this matter is settled, let's go out, don't let Zhu Zhu wait too long."
Outside the house, Silly Zhu sat at the table and glanced at the old man and his wife in the room. He always felt that they were acting weird today, as if they were hiding something from him.
I couldn't help but feel that I was too abrupt. When I was wondering if I should leave quietly,
The first man and the first aunt had already left the inner room. The first man glanced at Sha Zhu and handed the five hundred yuan to Sha Zhu and said,
"Zhuzi, this is five hundred yuan, you put it away first!"
Silly Zhu took the stack of unity from the uncle's hand, the stone in his heart finally fell, and he smiled,
"Thank you, Master. I will save the money to pay you back later!"
The old man looked at Silly Zhu with a silly smile, hesitated for a moment and finally said,
"Zhuzi, you don't have to pay me back this money!"
