Chapter 224: Borrow Money
“Hey, Wang Mei, how can you speak like that? My Shanzi is very intelligent; he just doesn’t want to study. If he had a job, he would definitely be excellent.”
Hearing that, the people around couldn’t help but roll their eyes.
The filter for their own son wasn’t just 800 meters thick; it was 8,000 meters thick!
Shen Yunlian advised kindly, “Sister-in-law Ma, this really isn’t possible. They are just Jiaojiao’s godfather and godmother, and they only recognized them recently. We ourselves wouldn’t have the face to ask someone to arrange a job.”
The meaning behind her words was that it was even more impossible for them to ask.
But Aunt Ma seemed like she couldn’t understand human language.
“If you haven’t even asked, how do you know they won’t agree? Jiaojiao helped them so much, why wouldn’t you keep that favor? I think you’re just stupid.
You’re too embarrassed to ask the child directly. Since they like Yun Jiao, let Yun Jiao talk to them. They’ll definitely agree out of politeness. With a job opportunity like that, who would still go fishing every day?”
Granny Yun and the others’ faces turned dark.
“You are shameless, but we still have face!”
Wang Mei directly chased them away, “Get out, get out, get out! You’ve ruined my good mood today.”
It’s truly bad luck.
Aunt Ma said, “Hey Wang Mei, I’m your elder, how can you speak to me like that?”
Granny Yun replied, “If she can’t say it, I will. My daughter-in-law’s opinion is my opinion, and our family doesn’t welcome you!”
Yun Linhai, Yun Linhe, and even Yun Xiaowu were glaring intently at them.
Seeing that she couldn’t gain anything, Aunt Ma spat and pulled her son away.
As they left, she was scolding.
“You’re an idiot for not using favors. It’s such a small matter, and you won’t help. You’ll be begging me when you need something!”
Yun Linhe and the others rolled their eyes.
As soon as this oddball left, someone else eagerly approached, starting to play the victim.
Granny Yun and Grandpa Yun’s eyelids immediately twitched. Without even needing to hear the rest, they knew this person was definitely here to borrow money.
“Third Uncle, Third Aunt, you know my family’s situation. We have elders and young children. I’m really opening my mouth to you today because we can’t even put food on the table. Look how thin these three children are. Please lend us some money, I promise I’ll pay you back soon.”
Grandpa Yun, with a displeased expression, took a puff of his cigarette.
Although he had anticipated encountering this situation, his good mood had been completely ruined tonight.
Anyone’s expression wouldn’t look good.
“Aunt Lin, if I remember correctly, you borrowed money two years ago and last year as well. Did you pay it back?”
The one speaking was Yun Chennan. He wore glasses, and his eyes seemed to see right through people.
“Haven’t more than five families in our village borrowed money from you? Have you paid them back?”
Aunt Lin was so spoken to that she became flustered, looking somewhat awkward and pitiful.
“I, I’m just short on cash.”
Yun Chennan said gently, “But this wasn’t caused by our family, nor by anyone else.”
“Why would you be willing to debase yourself and borrow money from everyone else, yet unwilling to ask Uncle Yun Liang to give money to the family?”
Aunt Lin covered her face and cried, “I, I can’t persuade him.”
Yun Jiao, nestled in her Fourth Brother’s arms, watched and felt that this person was very strange; she was pitiful, but at the same time, her actions were detestable.
“I’m really speechless.”
Someone she had borrowed money from rolled his eyes and said, “When do you plan to pay back the money you owe us? I’ve never seen someone so pathetic. Your man is spending money outside to support another woman, neglecting the children and elders at home, what’s the point of you just begging him? Go hit him! You won’t even go to the police station to report him, and you won’t divorce him. What’s the use of borrowing money everywhere every day?”
Aunt Lin lowered her head, “I, I can’t. He is the children’s father after all, he is my man. I can’t report him, he is my man, I can’t divorce him.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.
If you call her weak, she can borrow money from everyone.
If you call her brave, she is weaker at home than anyone else. Her inability to be supported was eye-rolling, but there was nothing they could do about her.
“Aunt Lin, I’m sorry, our family cannot lend you this money.”
Although Yun Chennan was just a youth, at this moment he seemed like the head of the family.
Yun Jiao looked at him with sparkling eyes, “Third Brother is so amazing.”
“Your family sold so many Large Yellow Croakers, you’ve also struggled. Can’t you lend us some money? How can you be so selfish?”
Wang Mei retorted, “Where did your family’s money come from? Even when our family was at its hardest and poorest, we never borrowed money from your family. Besides, if you borrow and repay, you can borrow again; the money we borrowed has been repaid. What about you?
How much money do you owe? Have you repaid any of it? If you put it nicely, it’s borrowing; you’re simply taking other people’s money into your own pocket!”
Yun Chennan said, “If Aunt Lin is truly finding it difficult, there is actually another solution.”
The people who had lent money to her looked at Yun Chennan.
Yun Chennan smiled and said, “A couple are one body. Since Aunt Yun Lin cannot repay the money, why not go find Uncle Yun Liang?”
“That’s right!”
Someone slapped their thigh and exclaimed, “Why didn’t I think of that? Go find Yun Liang! Since he’s supporting that widow Li and her son outside, he must have money!”
Hearing this, Lin Qiu immediately became agitated.
She chose to come and borrow money at this time because she thought that under these circumstances, people would lend her some money out of politeness.
But she didn’t expect to be put in this situation by Yun Chennan’s few words.
Lin Qiu no longer cared about whether she would borrow money or not.
She quickly said to those people, “I will definitely repay the money, please don’t go to Ah Liang. He’s not having an easy time either, and if you go to him, he’ll argue with me when he gets back and want a divorce. What will happen to me then? What will happen to my children?”
“I say, Lin Qiu, are you sick? Yun Liang’s money is all used to support that widow outside, so if we go to him for the money, wouldn’t that be good for you? Why are you so ungrateful?”
Yun Jiao tiptoed and stretched her neck to watch the excitement. Third Brother is so amazing; with just this, the excitement has shifted from their family to someone else’s.
“No, no, I will repay your money. Please, I beg you, don’t go to Ah Liang.”
Under Lin Qiu’s servile and repeated pleas, those people’s expressions were not good, and they reluctantly agreed not to go to Yun Liang.
However, they all felt that Lin Qiu was mentally ill, and quite severely so.
Yun Chennan adjusted his glasses, “Aunt Lin here is exhibiting a self-sacrificing, self-gratifying personality.”
The thinking of people like her cannot be understood by normal people’s thinking because she simply doesn’t listen.
It truly aligns with the saying that the pitiful often have hateful aspects.
Now, Aunt Lin didn’t dare to ask Yun Jiao’s family for money, but she felt resentful and hateful towards their stinginess and selfishness. She cast a resentful glance at them and left with her children.
It was getting late, and the others also left one by one. Their home finally became quiet.
