Seeing that Sujuan didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Hengfeng pursed his lower lips and said again: "Sujuan, this matter can't be rushed! We have to establish a good relationship with Yang Xiaobao first, and then we will explain to him our difficulties, that
When the time comes, he shouldn't be able to refuse us."
"Why!"
Russell Juan sighed helplessly and responded in a low voice: "Okay then!"
Then, the two of them didn't hesitate any longer and walked towards their homes together.
…
Time passed by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.
In the morning, the weather was still dark and depressing.
But in the afternoon, the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, revealing a blue sky.
At this time, Yang Xiaobao and Su Guihua were sitting in the yard, enjoying the sunshine leisurely.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard.
"Um?"
Hearing the sound, Yang Xiaobao and Su Guihua looked out at the same time.
When I looked around, I saw an old man walking towards the yard.
"Uncle Geng?"
Yang Xiaobao was surprised when he saw the old man.
The old man's name is Geng Jingzhong, and he is a lonely old man in Shitou Village. He has lived for almost a lifetime and has not been able to get a wife or anything!
In addition, Geng Jingzhong was also very indolent. If he had something to eat, he would just eat a meal. If there was nothing to eat, he would not want to go to the fields even if he was hungry.
Now, Geng Jingzhong suddenly came to their door, which made Yang Xiaobao and Su Guihua feel strange.
Before the two of them could recover, Geng Jingzhong had already approached them.
"Xiaobao, I heard that you are back to normal, so I came over to take a look!"
When he got closer, Geng Jingzhong looked straight at Yang Xiaobao and said with a flattering look on his face.
Yang Xiaobao reluctantly continued to smile and responded: "Uncle Geng, why did you come to me?"
"this?"
When he suddenly heard Yang Xiaobao's question, Geng Jingzhong was stunned and looked embarrassed.
Seeing this, Su Guihua frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Geng, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"
"call!"
After what Su Guihua said, Geng Jingzhong took a long breath, and after calming down for a while, he expressed his intention: "Xiaobao, I... I came here this time, actually... I want to borrow some money from you!"
"Borrow money?"
As Geng Jingzhong said these words, Yang Xiaobao was shocked and felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
In the morning, Zhang Hengfeng and his wife came to see him with gifts. Although the couple didn't say anything else, Yang Xiaobao knew very well that the couple was probably brewing something, maybe it was something that happened to him.
Money idea.
Not long after we met, Geng Jingzhong came to the door.
He was not so subtle, he directly stated that he was here to borrow money.
"That's right!"
Geng Jingzhong nodded and said softly: "I'm going to buy some fertilizer to fertilize the crops in the field, but I don't have that much money, so I wanted to borrow some from you, Xiaobao!"
After saying this, Geng Jingzhong looked straight at Yang Xiaobao, his eyes full of urgency.
Yang Xiaobao looked bitter and helpless. Although Geng Jingzhong just borrowed some money to buy fertilizer, if he sets a precedent, who knows whether other people in the village will follow suit?
Su Guihua didn't interrupt. Yang Xiaobao earned all the money through his own efforts. How to use it depends on Yang Xiaobao's wishes.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiaobao looked at Geng Jingzhong with an apologetic look and said, "Uncle Geng, I'm really sorry. All my money was used to treat my sister's leg injury, and I can't move even a cent!"
"
"ah?"
Seeing Yang Xiaobao's refusal, Geng Jingzhong looked confused and felt in a trance. Originally, he thought he was just borrowing some money to buy a few bags of fertilizer, and Yang Xiaobao would not refuse.
After all, how much do a few bags of fertilizer cost? Compared with the tens or hundreds of thousands that Yang Xiaobao received from the Zhou family, it was nothing.
In shock, Geng Jingzhong hurriedly pursed his lips and begged: "Xiaobao, it's only a few hundred yuan. When my crops grow and I sell them for money, I will return the money as soon as possible."
Can you?"
When he said this, Geng Jingzhong stared straight at Yang Xiaobao, and the pleading in his eyes was very obvious.
"no!"
Yang Xiaobao refused without thinking: "Uncle Geng, I made it very clear just now. The money was all used to treat my sister's leg injury. I will not lend out even a cent!"
"this?"
Geng Jingzhong was stunned and opened his mouth several times to speak, but for a moment he was left speechless by Yang Xiaobao's words.
"Hoo ho!"
After a while, Geng Jingzhong took a deep breath, calmed down, and then continued: "Xiaobao, that's good, you can't lend me a hundred yuan, right? I...I haven't been able to do it for the past few months.
I’ve never eaten meat again!”
"One hundred dollars?"
After Yang Xiaobao heard what Geng Jingzhong said, he felt a little dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that Geng Jingzhong could really say it.
Before Yang Xiaobao could say anything in response, Su Guihua, who was sitting in a wheelchair, took out a hundred-dollar bill from her bag and handed it to Geng Jingzhong.
"Uncle Geng, you can use this money to buy meat and eat it. You don't have to pay it back!"
"real?"
Geng Jingzhong was startled, but his hand movements were not slow and he directly grabbed the one hundred yuan in his hand.
Su Guihua was filled with sorrow and sighed helplessly, saying: "Of course it's true. I said you don't have to pay it back, so you don't have to pay it back!"
Hearing this, Geng Jingzhong was overjoyed and said with gratitude: "Osmanthus, you are the best!"
After saying this, Geng Jingzhong didn't stay long and left with the one hundred yuan.
After Geng Jingzhong left, Su Guihua looked back at Yang Xiaobao and asked in confusion: "Xiaobao, he just borrowed money to buy a few bags of fertilizer. Why didn't you agree?"
Yang Xiaobao smiled slightly and explained: "Sister, do you really think he borrowed money to buy fertilizer? I have seen his fields, and the weeds are almost as tall as a man. Where are there any crops?"
"ah?"
Su Guihua was surprised, looking a little unbelievable.
Yang Xiaobao didn't care and continued: "In my opinion, he is simply greedy and wants to borrow money to buy meat!"
Su Guihua was startled and looked thoughtful.
After a long while, she finally came around from her thoughts and sighed: "Why are there so many poor people in this world?"
Seeing Su Guihua's sighing look, Yang Xiaobao felt sad in his heart, knowing that Su Guihua thought of what happened to her and felt that she was also a poor person.
After a moment of silence, Yang Xiaobao changed the subject and said, "By the way, sister, the weather is so nice, how about... let's go out for a walk again?"
"good!"
Su Guihua nodded, collected her thoughts, and then walked out of the yard accompanied by Yang Xiaobao. This chapter has been completed!
