Chapter 66 Borrow money
“Lanya…”
Shen Fucun stood awkwardly in front of Shen Ruolan, blushing like a cockscomb.
“Brother Fucun, what’s the matter?”
Looking at the appearance of Brother Hall holding stool, Shen Ruolan knew that he must have asked for himself, and that he still had that kind of unspeakable request.
really
“Well, how much… silver do you have right now? Can you… borrow my house first…”
Speaking of the back, Shen Fucun squatted, and his face was hot, as if people slapped their mouths!
For so many years, their families have turned a blind eye to Lanya, and don’t look at them. After this time, he will pick up some water for a few days, so he cheeks and asks someone to borrow money, making Lanya think about it. They!
Shameful!
However, if you don’t come, you can’t. The old lady Cui said before leaving yesterday. If she doesn’t return the fifty taels of silver to their family within three days, she must marry Meier to their old Zhang family at the end of the month. Refusing to withdraw the offer or marry Mei Er, the old Zhang family went to the Yamen to sue them, accuse them of cheating for money and marriage, and put their family in jail.
Of course, Mei Er refused to marry, so the family had no choice but to make up the five taels of silver. Their family was poor, and their parents had saved up for so many years, so they only saved one, two or three dollars of savings. Heavenly Dad swept his relatives and friends all over, and all those who could borrow money stubbornly borrowed it, but only borrowed one or two five silvers. The two silvers add up to two, twenty-eight dollars, which is still short of one and a half. .
If you can’t borrow the two or two dollars that you lack in three days, the family will have to sell the land.
Their family has only one acre of land, and they can lay a thousand eight hundred catties of grain a year, barely enough to cover the mouths of the family. If even this acre of land is gone, what will the old snacks drink? His daughter-in-law is about to give birth, can’t let the child be born and drink northwest wind with them, right?
He couldn’t help it, so he ran over to open his mouth with his cousin!
“Yes, it was spent before I went. I still have more than a hundred words left here. How much do you want to use, brother, I will take it for you.”
Shen Ruolan answered very loudly, but it was not really true. It was not that she was stingy, but that she did not want others to know that she had so much money, so as not to cause trouble; she did not want to use money to help Shen Ruomei, she did not forget that she was a child. What did Da do to her.
However, the lobby brother was very kind to her, and it was the first time he asked himself, and she couldn’t bear to refuse, so he answered him like that.
“Only a hundred texts!”
This number is too far from Shen Fucun’s ideals, and it can’t solve the problem at all. He was slightly disappointed in his heart and said: “Then it won’t be enough. A hundred wen is not enough. I will think of another way. ”
There is no difference between having this one hundred inscriptions and not having this one hundred, just because he was embarrassed to borrow money from her, so he simply stopped borrowing.
…
Shen Ruolan is also very satisfied with this result. She does not like to have financial entanglements with her relatives, whether family affection or friendship, once contacted with money, she will more or less lose her original innocence. In short, it is The taste has changed.
Of course, the most important thing is that she doesn’t want to help Shen Ruomei. If there is something to do with Brother Hall, she will definitely take out the money.
After Shen Fucun left, Shen Ruolan dressed up, took a basket and a bag of millet, and went to the back mountain to buckle the sparrow.
There are still two days before entering the city. The pheasant and hare at home are gone. She hasn’t eaten meat for two days. It just happens to be warm today. She plans to go to the mountain to detain a few sparrows to improve her food. .
When I walked to the back mountain, there were actually two or three and a half children on the hillside detaining sparrows. Since Shen Fucun learned the method of detaining sparrows, the skill of detaining sparrows has quickly become popular in the village, and many people are greedy. The children did not hesitate to brave the bitter cold to run to the back mountain to detain the sparrows, trying to make a bit of fishy to fight the teeth.
Among the children buckling the sparrow today, there is actually Hu Meijiao. She still wears the original flower jacket. She is dressed beautifully and neatly. She is very conspicuous among a group of gray-headed children with big noses, such as Outstanding, especially the new clusters of embroidered shoes on her feet. They were made of pure cotton. The emerald-green uppers were embroidered with big red flowers in red, red, green and green. They looked like two playful parrots. good looking.
Of course, to say good-looking is limited to the aesthetics of this group of rural children. In Shen Ruolan’s view, these red and green shoes are simply speechless, and they look so hot.
Seeing Shen Ruolan, Hu Meijiao’s expression froze. She must have remembered some bad memories. However, this little girl was a scheming girl. She always remembered that Shen Ruolan had a big gold behind him who bought her roast goose and dim sum. The Lord, so I wanted to talk to Shen Ruolan so as to tell who that person is.
“Lanya, you’re here to buckle the sparrow too.” She greeted Shen Ruolan with a smile.
“Ok.”
Shen Ruolan replied faintly, put down the baskets, wooden sticks, etc., and began to sweep the ground and sprinkle millet.
“That’s just right, let’s be together, we can still talk.” Hu Meijiao didn’t see Shen Ruolan’s indifference, and leaned over with a smile.
Shen Ruolan didn’t even look at her, but said coldly and warmly: “It’s not easy to buckle two people too close.”
Hu Meijiao had a meal, and retreated to her original position in a slanderous manner. Her hot face was pressed against her cold ass, which was so shameless.
It just so happened that Shouya brought her elder sister Zhaodi to buckle the sparrows. Zhaodi saw Hu Meijiao’s beautiful shoes and said enviously, “Sister Meijiao, your embroidered shoes are so beautiful!”
Hearing someone complimenting herself, Hu Meijiao’s spirits lifted and her vanity was greatly satisfied. The original anger and resentment disappeared without a trace. She glanced at Shen Ruolan triumphantly and saw that she was wearing what her mother had left behind. Broken gown, fat and fat, not fit at all, I feel secretly: What about a man who can buy you roast goose and snacks? He doesn’t wear it like a beggar, huh!
Thinking about it this way, she was even more proud: “What’s so good about shoes? Clothes made of this cotton cloth look good. If you don’t believe me, go to my house to see my mother’s new clothes. They look good.”
This sentence is to tell others in a disguised form that her mother used this cotton cloth to make new clothes.
She said this deliberately. She was so greedy for the dead girl, Shen Lanya. In the past, when there was something delicious and fun in her house, Shen Lanya always looked with that kind of awe and envy. The envy and awe from the heart, her eyes can always please Hu Meijiao’s vain heart greatly. Now, she deliberately displayed her mother’s new clothes and her new shoes to stimulate Shen Lan. Ah, this ungrateful thing!
