The sky was overcast, and after a thunderstorm, light rain fell.

However, Yang Hua was all smiles when he left Zhuzi's house. After walking out of the yard, he hugged Zhuzi who came to see him off:

"Good brothers for life! Don't worry, I, Yang Hua, will always remember your childish love today! If I can make a comeback, I will never forget you!"

Zhu Zhu still wanted to be friends and agreed to lend Yang Hua 70,000 yuan - without interest.

Yang Hua was naturally happy, but Zhuzi's wife was annoyed - 70,000 yuan! Not 700 yuan, let alone 70 yuan! How long does it take to transfer 70,000 yuan?

Without the shares in the cannery, I might not be able to make 70,000 yuan in my lifetime just by farming and hunting.

Zhuzi's daughter-in-law doesn't understand inflation. It's really, really difficult to earn 70,000 yuan based on the current annual income.

Moreover - there is no interest on this 70,000 yuan, and there is no telling when it will be repaid. Even if you deposit the money in the bank, you will still earn several thousand yuan in interest for a year - the interest rate in this era is really high, but it's just a lot.

Rural people do not trust banks. They think that if they give a large amount of money to the bank and get back a piece of paper, they are just fooling people.

One year's interest is higher than two years' income.

But as friends, there is no interest when borrowing money, and no interest is given when repaying the money - Zhuzi's wife feels that her family has suffered a huge loss and has been taken advantage of by someone else, such a shameless bastard like Yang Hua.

I took advantage and felt even more humiliated and sad.

So he directly had a fight with Zhuzi, throwing plates, bowls, chairs, and TVs... Don't throw the TV because it was too expensive. When he was about to let go, Zhuzi's wife regained her senses and helped the TV back...

"There is no way we can live in this house!! You might as well go there with Yang Hua!"

Along the way, the scenery on both sides continued to recede. The fields were filled with fields of soybeans, corn, sorghum, peanuts... and some even had fields of sunflowers, watermelons, etc.

Let's do this, can you lend me 30,000 yuan? I'll give you an IOU and I'll borrow it for half a year...no, no, not three months. The interest rate will definitely be higher than that of the bank..."

Rubbing his face fiercely, he next wanted to think about who to borrow another 30,000 yuan from.

After scolding the accountant, he scolded the accountant's parents, that is, his second aunt and uncle, and then scolded the police, the village, the workers, the fruit farmers... as if everyone in the world felt sorry for him.

She helped him order equipment for the cannery before, but the equipment came but Yang Hua didn't want it... There was a fuss that time. Later, Yang Hua invited many people to dinner but deliberately didn't call Wang Yuan. Li Yan has always been worried about this...

…

In the evening, I stewed some roe deer meat. The cool breeze outside the window gradually picked up, and some debris blew loudly.

"Fishing is all about fate! Fish are swimming around in the whole river. What's yours is yours. If it's not yours, there's no point in moving it."

The moment Li Wu was exposed, he became furious and scolded his mother-in-law: "Come on and be your fish, why are you blind!? Where did I hide the wine? I keep hiding my wine every day."

Listening to the admiration of the three little guys who looked like carrot heads, Li Wu felt a rush of breath rushing straight to his forehead, and it felt like he drank a ladle of cold water in the dog days of summer, which was extremely refreshing.

"Mad, even dogs look down on me."

Li Yan hasn't been back to her parents' house for some time, so after breakfast that morning, Wang Yuan went to his grandfather's yard to push a tricycle.

"ah?"

After moving a few small benches, Li Yan carried the three children on them first, and then climbed into the carriage herself.

Zhu Zhu touched the face of Caught Flower, sat down on the edge of the kang, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

When crossing a small bridge, Wang Yuan glanced to the side and unexpectedly saw his father-in-law Li Wu among a group of fishermen.

Wang Yuan didn't care at all, he took a piece of meat to eat and took a sip of wine:

"Yang Hua came to our house to borrow money because he was fooled. He has so many friends but few of them are willing to help him. How would I, who is not considered a friend, be willing to help him!? The sun comes out in the west, right...

...Don’t pay attention to him, just do whatever he likes.”

The mother-in-law knew that the eldest daughter was looking towards her, so she became more assertive when speaking with Li Yan in front of her. Normally, she wouldn't dare to talk to Li Wu.

Drinking wine, eating delicious fish and meat in a warm house, and watching the villagers running wildly on the dirt road outside, there is a sense of comfort, relaxation and ease.

Xiao Tingzi and Yang Hua stared at each other for about ten seconds. The more they looked at each other, the more panicked they became. They turned around and ran into the house.

"Yo~ My girl is back! Okay... yo yo~ The fish is here, the fish is here!"

Looking at Wang Yuan's home not far away, Yang Hua fell into a dilemma. His legs seemed to have turned into lead pillars and he wanted to move forward but couldn't.

"Okay, let's go. When we get there, we'll chop up the stuffing and make dumplings to eat."

After Li Yan and Wang Yuan came out, they immediately saw Yang Hua not far away. The latter was a little embarrassed, but after seeing it, he stopped hiding it and shook his legs and walked over openly.

There were compliments and admirations all around, and eyes with various expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred all fell on Li Wu. When had Li Wu ever caught such a big fish? Suddenly, his face turned red and swollen. He had never caught it before.

I have never felt that my face has ever been so big.

Life is really good now, to the extent that she never dared to dream about it when she was a child.

Sudden.

Yang Hua left, full of anger.

Wang Yuan drove the tricycle to the side of the road and parked it so as not to be blocked by the tractors coming and going. He quickly got out of the car and went to help.

The Malaysian monkey has a long mouth and extremely sharp teeth. It’s so scary!

Li Yan said: "Xiaoyuan, I saw Yang Hua was very angry when he left. His face turned pale. If we didn't lend him the money, would he hate us?"

"You all come to my house to eat fish! Let's go, let's go..."

Everyone was full of praise for the plump and tender fish. It was raining outside the window and the cold wind was blowing to make people's skin crawl.

Xiaotingzi and their three children all put on new clothes. She was the most positive because grandma would bring them delicious food, but Wang Yuan also understood that she might get bored after just a few hours at grandma's house.

Will be noisy to go home.

"Yes, yes, is it cold in the wind? I'll give you a scarf."

"Grandpa, what a big fish!"

Perhaps because he was getting older, Li Wu was a little deaf, or a bald man next to him called him and pointed in the direction of Wang Yuan and the others.

"Hey~"

After returning home, Li Wu rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find snacks for the three little guys, while his mother-in-law handled the fish and said to Li Yan with a smile:

"Your dad has never caught such a big fish. A two-pound fish is considered big. One time, how long do you think the fish he caught was? It was not even as long as a finger, so I had to give it to you."

It’s stewed, but I don’t want to stew it. I said, why stew such two gadgets? It’s too small for a flat mouth.”

Wang Yuan, Li Yan and a few children were eating and chatting in the house, and talked about Yang Hualai's borrowing money.

"Get in the car and get in the car..."

Dust was flying and the ground was messy, but everything was calm.

He squatted down and pretended to pick up dirt, which scared the dogs and all ran away.

"Mom, mom..."

Li Wu was helped onto the tricycle by Li Yan, and he waved his hand like a general commanding thousands of troops.

He actually regretted it after handing the 70,000 yuan to Yang Hua just now, but Zhu Zhu is a down-to-earth, simple, and optimistic person, but he often can't save face and doesn't know how to refuse.

"Ahem, it's just that the cannery's turnover has been a bit difficult recently. Ha, it's actually not a big deal... It's time for the fruits to ripen again. Once the fruits are collected and canned, and sold, there will soon be more liquidity.

…

He felt that this was an opportunity to ease the relationship with Wang Yuan, as long as Wang Yuan agreed to lend him 30,000 yuan... but Wang Yuan did not agree.

The fishing line was tied tightly, and Li Wu was pulled into the river. The surrounding area suddenly became lively, some stretched their necks to look, and some stood up and came to help.

"Go home, go home, and ask your grandma to stew fish for you."

"What a big fish!"

"I was fishing here just now, oh~ I wish I didn't move."

I feel that others have spoken kind words and are praising me, but when I encounter difficulties, I beg for help humbly, almost crying... I am indeed capable of helping, and I always feel guilty if I don't help.

"Duck, don't ducks have flat beaks?"

Wang Yuan had no intention of inviting Yang Hua into the house.

Xiaotingzi was shocked when she looked up. Although the second child didn't say it clearly, she also knew what the former meant, because Wang Yuan often told them that Malaysian monkeys would turn into human traffickers, specifically to deceive strange children.

After taking it away, I went to eat and never saw my parents again.

Xiaotingzi was taking his second child and his third child to play in the mud in the yard, and they didn't care much about their dirty little hands.

"explain."

"Hey~Mad!"

Li Wu's face turned red as if on fire, he cupped his hands, carried the fish and left with Wang Yuan... He felt that the fish in his hand had really grown a face for him, showing it in front of his daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter and grandson.

A big face once.

"When did it happen?"

Zhuzi's wife grabbed the hand of the crying child and took him back to her parents' home on her bicycle.

This made him more and more anxious and angry, cursing that all the gentlemen in the village were worthless. When he was treating guests to meat, they came very quickly, and all kinds of nice things came out of his mouth. Now it was his turn to need their help.

I helped, but I was treated like a shrinking bastard.
