The cold-faced officer does not follow the moral code of the military. He takes advantage of his wif

But after the two of them went back and told Jiang Zhenzhu about what happened, Jiang Zhenzhu scolded them both.

"Useless things, you are going to borrow money, not to cheat, what are you afraid of?"

"Don't forget that your mother is her biological aunt, which is different from her uncle or aunt."

"Hurry up and make another trip. We must borrow the money today. Otherwise, when the grain is distributed later and you don't have money to buy food, I don't think you will starve to death."

In the end, the two had no choice but to run to the Red Flag Brigade again.

It was noon when they arrived at the Hongqi Brigade, and everyone in the Qiao family had returned from work.

Jiang Dawang was sitting in the yard of the Qiao family, her legs were shaking. Her cousin Jiang Laicai, who came with her, was calmer.

Fang Mei handed a glass of water to her two nephews and said, "Why did you two think of coming here at this time? Did something happen at home?"

Jiang Dawang chuckled nervously, "Haha... yes... there is something."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shizhen, who was standing by, was nervous and worried, but he still took precautions and did not go over to ask.

After all, if something really happened to their daughter, they wouldn't be so nervous and scared. They probably wanted to borrow money in their daughter's name.

Fang Mei smiled and asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Dawang: "That's right, that's right..."

Seeing Jiang Dawang hesitating, Jiang Laicai stepped forward and said:

"This year is not a good year. You know the situation of Da Wang's family. Da Wang wanted to come here to borrow some money from aunt and grandmother so that he could buy some food to survive the winter when the grain is distributed."

After he finished speaking, Zhu Shizhen knew that his guess was correct.

bother you for something.

Before Fang Mei could speak, Zhu Shizhen said, "Then your trip here may be in vain. We are also trying to raise money to buy some food for the winter."

After saying this, Jiang Dawang said anxiously: "Grandma, your family doesn't have money either? No, it's not that, it's not that Xia Zhi got married before..."

"You only heard that when Xia Zhi got married, her boyfriend gave her a lot of gifts, but we also have to give dowries as human beings." Zhu Shizhen interrupted Jiang Dawang before he could finish his words.

"We didn't take a penny of the betrothal money. We sent it all back to Xia Zhi as a dowry."

"Don't set your sights on Xia Zhi. The dowry is not that much."

"Your brother-in-law has a sick grandmother who needs medicine and medical treatment all year round."

Jiang Laicai curled his lips, "Didn't they say Xia Zhi's husband is a soldier, with a high salary and good conditions? And he's from the city."

At this time, Qiao Xiazhi, who had just come out of the toilet, said:

"His salary is earned by his life. You can go if you want?"

When Jiang Dawang saw Qiao Xiazhi coming out, he immediately stood up and said courageously:

"Xia Zhi Lai Cai didn't mean to say that, don't misunderstand me, and don't be angry."

"We don't want to borrow a lot, just 50 yuan is enough. We will pay you back when we have money."

Qiao Xiazhi refused outright: "No, and to tell you the truth, I won't lend it to you even if I have it. What are you guys planning? Others may not understand, but how can I not understand?"

Qiao Xiazhi doesn't like beating around the bush. For some relatives, it is more practical to just refuse them outright rather than showing them mercy.

Jiang Dawang: "We can write an IOU. We will pay it back when we have money."

Qiao Xiazhi: "I'm sorry, it's late. We have to have lunch. We won't keep you here. Please go back."

Seeing that Qiao Xiazhi really didn't show any kinship, Jiang Laicai snorted coldly:

"Humph... You are such a heartless and ungrateful woman. It's a pity that Da Wang's mother is your biological aunt, your grandmother's biological daughter, and still your biological daughter."

"Grandma, you are so cruel that you don't even care about your own daughter."

When Zhu Shizhen was criticized by a junior, he turned his face black and scolded, "Who the hell are you? How dare you come here to teach me a lesson?"

"So what if it's my biological daughter? I worked so hard to raise her, and now that she's married into the Jiang family, she's a member of the Jiang family. Does that mean she still needs me, her mother, to raise her?"

"Go back and tell your grandma that you don't have the money to borrow. If they feel they can't afford to raise my daughter, then just send her back to me."

"Also, don't think we don't know what you are up to. As Xia Zhi said, we won't lend it to you even if you have it."

After saying that, Zhu Shizhen looked at Jiang Dawang and said, "Dawang, next time if you remember me as your grandmother, come over and see how grandma welcomes you. If you bring a stranger over again, then don't come in."

"Grandma won't keep you for lunch today. We need to finish lunch quickly and go to work in the fields. You should go back as well."

Jiang Dawang: "Grandma, don't be angry. Laicai didn't say that on purpose. He was just a little anxious for the moment."

After saying that, Jiang Dawang quickly winked at Jiang Laicai. Jiang Laicai received Jiang Dawang's look and immediately apologized:

"I'm sorry, Grandma. I didn't mean to say that just now."

Zhu Shizhen didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he drove them away directly, "Get lost~~~"

As he said this, he was about to pick up a bamboo broom to chase the person away.

Seeing this, Jiang Laicai stood up and ran out of the yard like a frightened loach.

Jiang Dawang followed closely behind.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Xiazhi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sure enough, my grandma is the one who will make the move."

"Okay, now that the annoying people are gone, let's quickly start eating."

After saying that, Qiao Xiazhi went into the kitchen and brought out the prepared meal.

She cooked the lunch today.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork + bird eggs, stir-fried cabbage, and pickled cucumbers.

Three dishes and one soup are enough for a family.

"It's really changed now. Think about it, in the past, all those relatives would avoid us when they saw us, for fear that we would ask them to borrow money and food. Now look at it, haha..."

At the dinner table, Qiao Daguo said this while shaking his head, and then stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth.

This is the only way to ease the sadness in your heart.

"Have you heard of 'A poor person living in a busy city has no one to care about him, but a rich person living in a remote mountain area has distant relatives'? This is why I came back this time to do this." Qiao Xiazhi said.

Qiao Dongzhi agreed: "I used to think that Second Sister's behavior was really annoying, but now I think that Second Sister's behavior is simply too cool. Some people have to be treated this way, so as not to indulge their bad habits."

Qiao Xiazhi: "Brother Da Wang obviously came here to borrow money today at the suggestion of his grandmother."

"It sounds nice to say it's a loan, but once you lend the money, don't even think about getting it back, even if he said he could write an IOU."

"But the IOU was written by Jiang Dawang. The Jiang family can deny it, but Jiang Dawang doesn't manage the family. How can he pay it back if he has no rights?"

"The Jiang family has a pretty good plan. They asked to borrow fifty yuan. Isn't that enough?"

Qiao Dongzhi: "Fifty yuan, if put aside, is enough for our family's expenses for a year and a half. We can save for one or two years. The Jiang family dares to ask for such a large sum."

Qiao Daguo: "The Jiang family used to be better off than ours. Although our conditions have improved now, the Jiang family's conditions are not so bad that they can't afford to buy food."

Qiao Dongzhi: "Just like my second sister said, they just want to take advantage of us because we are an honest family."

Zhu Shizhen said, "Remember this for me. From now on, no matter who comes to borrow money, those who are playing tricks on you should just refuse them without even thinking about it. No matter who they are, please."

"If someone is really in need and is sincerely asking for help, we can help them if conditions permit."

"Our family was in such a difficult situation back then. It's not easy to speak up when we really have difficulties. If someone can help a little, it won't be that difficult."

Qiao Xiazhi nodded: "That's right, if anyone is really in trouble and comes to ask for help sincerely, I can help them appropriately."

"Don't give any chances to those who are cunning, let alone show any mercy."

Qiao Dashan said with a smile: "Since you've been making such a fuss these past two days, I guess no one will dare to come to us to borrow money."

Fang Mei: "It's better not to come. It's not good to spend the money slowly in our own hands."

Qiao Dashan: "Haha... I didn't say it's bad, what I meant is that it's still us, Xia Zhi, who have to take action."

"Otherwise, seeing the situation this year, there will definitely be a lot of so-called relatives coming to ask for help. Now that this incident has happened, it will save us a lot of trouble."

"But I'm afraid that Xia Zhi's reputation will be..."

Before Qiao Dashan finished speaking, Qiao Xiazhi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Dad, don't worry. My daughter's reputation has long been not good in this area."

"Besides, a good reputation can't be used to make a living. Our family just needs to live a good life. We are not suckers, and money doesn't come from the wind."

"In the eyes of others, being a heartless and ungrateful person is actually quite good, as long as you are kind and loyal to your own family."
