I stole your luck and caused my wife's death, making you regret being a human being.

"Did Wang Liang and the others come to you to borrow money?" Su Ying asked.

By the well, Zheng Wendong was washing clothes. Su Yingying filtered the clothes washed with detergent and then wrung them dry.

"Yes." Zheng Wendong said, "The house he lived in was sold by the landlord, and now the new landlord wants to evict him. He has nowhere to live. Xu Youpeng and others asked me to raise money for his rent, but I didn't lend him any money."

Hearing that it was not borrowed, Su Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

She ran into Wang Liang and others at the door just now.

As her husband's friends, they were not at all kind to her.

Especially Wang Liang.

Su Ying always felt that his personality would cause trouble, and she didn't want Wen Dong to have anything to do with him. He borrowed money from him, and who knew he wouldn't pay it back. He was such a grown-up, but he still had to ask his friends to contribute to his rent, and he came to borrow money with an attitude of a superior, thinking he owed it to her.

Su Ying looked down on him in her heart, but she looked at her husband who was working.

Su Ying asked tentatively, "Why not lend it to him? Weren't you and he the best friends before?"

"If you want to borrow it, I can get you the money."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Wendong looked at Su Ying, with a tentative look in his round eyes.

Su Ying really dislikes Wang Liang, so why would he be willing to lend her money? He is testing her.

Zheng Wendong continued to work, "No."

"We are so poor that we can barely make ends meet. I've even married a wife and you're pregnant. We have three hungry children to feed. It's almost enough for them to lend me money."

Su Ying smiled happily and went to wring out the clothes and hang them up to dry.

She likes Zheng Wendong's current attitude of caring about his small family.

If you want to divide the family, you have to save money.

Now, several families who have not yet separated live in such a rental house. They cannot see the sun in broad daylight, and it is difficult to dry clothes even if they hang them out to dry. It is even worse during the rainy season, and the clothes will get moldy.

Everything costs money.

Where do you get the extra money to lend to others?

While eating, Dong Dacheng also asked about the purpose of Wang Liang and others coming to see him.

He Shujun immediately frowned, "Wang Liang, I heard he was arrested for washing feet last time. Boss, you don't want to associate with people like that. Why did he come to you? To borrow money? How much did he borrow?"

Zheng Wendong said, "No, I didn't lend him any money. How could I have lent him any money? I'm so poor that I can't even afford a bite of watermelon."

When He Shujun heard that he didn't lend the money, she changed the subject. The topic at home was basically about Dong Hua, and they asked him how the business talks with the big boss were going.

Zheng Wendong and his wife are little known.

After dinner.

Zheng Wendong is studying medical books again.

Su Ying came over and sat next to him, and like a magician, she took out ten dollars and gave it to Zheng Wendong.

Zheng Wendong asked with a questioning look.

Su Ying put the money in his hand and said, "This is for you to hold the flowers. A man should have some money in his hands when he goes out." She didn't dare to give him too much before.

There was joy in her eyes.

What made her happiest was not that Zheng Wendong did not lend Wang Liang money. What made her happiest was that Zheng Wendong did not lend money because he was thinking about himself and the children.

"Adong, it's okay. Expand your circle and make more close friends."

Su Ying felt that her husband should also have his own circle of friends, otherwise it would be so boring.

With a better circle of friends, I will gradually become more distant from Wang Liang and the others.

Zheng Wendong knew that Su Ying had a very good circle of friends. Her friends were all people she had known for more than ten years. They were not many, but they had been together for a long time.

He nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Su Ying leaned her head on his shoulder with a smile on her face, and soon went to read a book.

dawn.

Zheng Wendong was woken up and he subconsciously glanced at Su Ying.

Su Ying woke up confusedly, "What's wrong?"

Zheng Wendong didn't know either.

I could only hear people cursing outside. When I got up to eat, He Shujun was standing at the door, holding her grandson and feeding him. She would occasionally curse him, "What a wicked man!"

It turned out that the neighbor boy’s tricycle was stolen while parked at the door.

Dong Hua asked doubtfully, "Isn't it locked?"

Dong Cai came back from eating melon with injuries and said, "Why is it not locked? It is locked, but the lock must have been cut."

Ma Xiaoyan scolded him, "You're running out before your injury has healed yet. Are you curious? How can you not be so curious that you're dying of curiosity?"

Dong Cai curled his lips and went back to lie down.

When Zheng Wendong went out to do business, he took a look and saw that his neighbor had called the police and was complaining. This was his eating utensils and the tricycle was used to carry people.

He remembered that thefts happened here from time to time in his previous life.

Outdoor thefts are not so bad, but some indoor thefts have also occurred.

There is only one walkable aisle between the adjacent self-built houses. Bicycles are parked on both sides of the aisle during the day. You have to keep an eye on any valuables you put there, otherwise they may be stolen accidentally.

The landlord just came to collect the rent.

The young man who owned the lost property was begging the landlord for another extension.

He had already saved enough money, but now his tricycle had been stolen, so he had to find a way to make money, otherwise he would have nothing to eat. He came from the countryside to work, and his family thought he was living well in the city and were waiting for him to send money back.

"Why do you want to postpone it? My rent is already cheap enough, and you haven't paid for three months and six months..."

"Auntie, auntie, please, I promise to pay it back when I earn money. I was going to pay it back, but you see, this guy who doesn't eat has been robbed. Please give me another two months..."

After much persuasion, the landlord reluctantly agreed.

As soon as the landlord left, the young man sat down on the ground dejectedly, cursing, and looked at the place where the tricycle was parked for a while. After about a few minutes, a cigarette was handed to him.

"Brother Dong..." The young man was surprised and took the cigarette.

"The tricycle is lost." Zheng Wendong greeted.

"Yeah, I don't know which bastard did this." The young man cursed and stood up, cigarette in hand. "Brother, I'm going to try to find a way to get a new car first. I'll talk to you later. Thanks for the cigarette."

Zheng Wendong nodded.

When poor people encounter problems, they don’t even have time to be sad or collapse. They have to immediately work non-stop to find ways to solve the problems and ensure their food and clothing. They also have to keep it a secret from their families and only report good news and not bad news.

This is the situation of most young men and women working in this area.

So everyone’s goals are very consistent.

After making money, I rented a house in the city center, where the environment is good, there are fewer thieves, and at least I can see the sun during the day.

Zheng Wendong's tofu business was good today and he was almost sold out before 11 o'clock.

Thinking of Su Ying’s instructions.

Zheng Wendong came to Tao Chaoyang's home carrying two pieces of tofu.

Tao Chaoyang's family has two sons and one daughter. The daughter is the eldest sister who is married and has her own small house here. Unlike his family, the Tao family has a good atmosphere. In their previous life, the siblings were united and bought houses in the city center to move in.

"Dongzi." Tao Chaoyang was taking care of his niece. He was a little surprised to see him, and then he warmly welcomed him: "Come in and have some tea."

"Wang Liang and his friends asked me for money a while ago, but I didn't lend them any..." Zheng Wendong started the conversation.

"Oh, they didn't borrow from me." Tao Chaoyang said.

He thought to himself, I wouldn’t lend it to you even if you asked me.

Although he also knew Wang Liang, Xu Youpeng and others, they had different values ​​and were only superficial friends.
