Mr. Liao squeezed Da Tuan Tuan's hand a little tighter and whispered, "This -"
His tone was a little difficult, and he really couldn't speak.
But I think of how pitiful the little tigress looked before.
He sighed and said, "Yao Yao, it's not that I won't lend it, I have already agreed to lend it to others."
Gu Yao stretched out her hand and took it back as if nothing had happened, "Grandpa, my days in Anjia"...
Before she could finish speaking, she started to cry.
Tears were in his eyes, seemingly falling but not falling.
With that innocent little white flower-like face, it's so pitiful.
"They all look down on me as coming from outside. They even have to pay for a meal."
Gu Yao covered her stomach and said, "Grandpa, I didn't even have to eat tonight." Just in time, her stomach began to growl.
As soon as he said this, Mr. Liao immediately became angry, "How dare he!"
"That old guy An Zhiguo, dare to do this to you?"
Upon hearing that the other party called Mr. An by his first name, Gu Yao quickly made up her mind and felt more and more that she was doing the right thing.
The old man named Yu in front of me may have an unusual background.
You know, since she entered the An family, she has seen different things.
I became more and more aware of the dignity of Mr. An’s identity.
Everyone else would respectfully call him An Lao, but the old man in front of him could call him by his first name.
Either they are good friends, or they have a higher status than An Lao.
After calculating the gains and losses, Gu Yao quickly started to perform. Her eyes were red from crying, "Grandpa, I am really forced to do nothing."
She stretched out her wrist, and there were bruises on her white wrist.
That was pinched by An Jiao.
At this time, it came in handy.
"They didn't give me food and bullied me." She cried heartbrokenly. "Grandpa, if I don't have money, I really can't survive in Anjia!"
"Then come to my house!" Mr. Liao was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Gu Yao's face froze, this was not what she wanted.
"Grandpa, I want to live in Anjia, which is the place closest to my grandma." Sure enough, when Gu Yao said this, Mr. Liao suddenly felt very distressed.
Gu Yao understood that she had made the right move.
At first, the father and son named Yu in front of her said they were acquaintances of her grandmother.
So, she was thinking, it must be family or something.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a big deal, but this move also made Gu Yao understand one thing.
That is, her biological grandmother is the absolute top priority in the other person's heart.
Mr. Liao is indeed what Gu Yao planned. He has completely forgotten what money he lent to the little tigress.
He wished he could give his heart and soul to his sister's descendants.
Without saying a word, he put the thousand yuan in his hand into Gu Yao's hand, "You take the flowers first. If they are not enough, tell grandpa, grandpa is thinking of a way."
One thousand dollars.
A hundred thick sheets of unity.
Gu Yao had never seen so much money before. She was trembling all over with excitement, "Thank you, grandpa!"
"If there are any more, please help me prepare them. Don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely return my principal with interest after I graduate."
These words made Mr. Liao feel comfortable all over. What he wanted was not the other party's repayment.
What I want instead is that the other person has a good life and that the other person remembers him as his great uncle.
Mr. Liao put it bluntly, "As a family, we can't talk about anything, so let's see each other outside."
Gu Yao lowered her eyes, a smile flashed in her eyes. When she raised her head again, she was full of admiration and joy, "Grandpa, if I hadn't met you, I would definitely not be able to survive in the An family. It's okay, so I can go down earlier."
I’m staying with my grandma.”
Mr. Liao was heartbroken, "What nonsense are you talking about, silly boy! If you don't have money in the future, just come to grandpa and he will definitely find a way for you."
"I won't let you endure hardship." After a pause, he said in a distressed tone, "Yao Yao, are you really not going to move here?"
He pointed to the large courtyard behind him.
Gu Yao also looked at the place he pointed at. The courtyard was simple and elegant, and the environment was quiet. If she had never seen the world a year ago, she would have eagerly agreed.
But, she is different now.
Having lived in Anjia's small Western-style building, the luxurious Western-style building made her look down on this dilapidated courtyard house.
Of course, she wouldn't say this.
Gu Yao shook her head gently, "Grandpa, I can't come here. Grandpa An owes my grandma for raising me. My grandma is gone. I also want to seek justice for my grandma, so I can't do it here."
Coming."
Gu Yao is Gu Yao, even if she finds reasons to postpone, she stands on the highest moral ground.
This also made Mr. Liao feel indescribably moved.
He raised his hand and patted Gu Yao's shoulder, "Good boy! Good boy! Good boy!"
He said it three times in a row, and one can imagine how excited he was.
"If you encounter problems in the future, just come and be a good grandpa!"
Mr. Liao wrapped his arms around Gu Yao.
Little did he know that these words had attracted a blood-sucking leech to him.
Gu Yao responded in a low voice and made further demands, "Then - if the money is not enough, can I come to you?"
"I want to secretly cook something for my grandma while I'm at Anjia."
She was afraid that one thousand yuan would not be enough.
Except for the old man in front of her who was her cash machine, she couldn't find anyone else.
Mr. Liao originally frowned a little after hearing the first half of the sentence.
After listening to the second half of the sentence, I was immediately moved to tears and said, "Of course, you are a filial child, and your grandma will know something under the ground."
Gu Yao lowered her eyes and smiled shyly.
Where Mr. Liao didn't see it, she curled her lips indifferently.
After calculating the time, she timidly said, "Grandpa, I will leave first. I ran away secretly. If I go back that night, they - they will beat me..."
She said that when she hit me, the bruises on my wrists were exposed again.
Sure enough, Mr. Liao, who originally wanted to keep her for dinner, immediately agreed, "Okay, go back quickly."
After a pause, he couldn't help but say, "This is your home at any time."
"If they dare to bully you, don't be afraid, just go back!"
This is the confidence he gave Gu Yao!
After hearing this, Gu Yao smiled and said nothing. She took the money with satisfaction and turned around and left the door of Liao's house.
What I was thinking about was, you two fools.
Back and forth, she got three thousand yuan from the father and son.
That's what an ordinary family can't earn even if they don't eat or drink for ten years.
stupid!
But Gu Yao walked on the front foot.
Gu Ning appeared at the entrance of the alley from outside. She went to the bank to withdraw money and thought about it for a long time.
She decided to trouble her neighbor because she was afraid that she didn't have enough money in the bank.
If you don't receive the monkey ticket, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
After borrowing money, when she repays the money, she will leave ten sets of monkey notes to the other party, which will be regarded as interest.
However, as soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, she looked at the back of a familiar figure on the corner.
She knew that figure turning into ashes.
Gu Ning was about to catch up, but found that the figure disappeared in a flash.
She rubbed her eyes and said to herself, "How could it be Gu Yao??"
After saying this, she entered the alley and prepared to knock on the door of Liao's house.
…
Inside the Liao family house.
Liao Gaoyi put away the dishes and saw his father coming in, and immediately asked, "Dad, did you lend money to the little tigress next door?"
When asked this question, Mr. Liao's face suddenly stiffened, he slapped his forehead and shouted, "It's broken!"
This drink made Liao Gaoyi drop the plate in his hand, "What's wrong?"
Mr. Liao said loudly and regretfully, "I lent the money I lent to the little tigress to your aunt's descendants."
This sound just happened to reach outside the house.
Gu Ning, who was knocking on the door, didn't hear the last two words, but she heard the first half.
Her hand that knocked on the door paused and slowly retracted it.
Between hesitations.
Just heard it.
Liao Gaoyi inside said, "Dad, you have lent all your money to others, what will happen to the little tigress?"
"You promised her? She came to borrow money. If you don't have it, isn't it a lie?"
Mr. Liao was also worried, "How do I know this? But your aunt's descendants finally opened their mouths. I can't ignore them, right?"
After a pause, he muttered:
"Besides, I thought it was a little tigress that just came! Otherwise, I wouldn't have lent the money out in advance. It was your aunt's descendants who saw the money in my hand, and I felt even worse.
Is it okay to refuse?”
After hearing this, Gu Ning completely stepped back from the steps.
She stood under the eaves of the Liao family, quietly looking up at the crescent moon in the sky. The crescent moon was cold and the moonlight was soft.
There is also indifference in gentleness.
she thought.
That's it, it's pretty good.
You don’t need to bother others, let alone spend a day mentally building up to ask others to borrow money.
fine.
Gu Ning turned around and entered the door of her house next door without hesitation.
Just pretend she has never been here before.
However, she moved too much and accidentally kicked a stone on the ground and hit the wall next door.
Bang.
Suddenly Mr. Liao and Liao Gaoyi were alarmed in the room.
They ran out in unison, opened the door, and happened to bump into Gu Ning, who turned to leave.
Seeing Gu Ning, Mr. Liao thought of the promise made during the day.
His old face heated up, he rubbed his hands and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, little Ningning."
"That money——"
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Gu Ning smiled, her smile as peaceful as ever, without any hint of displeasure.
"I was just about to tell you that I don't want to borrow any more money. I've already collected it."
This was a lie, but she gave in and neither party was embarrassed. This was the best result.
Gu Ning was given this step, which also made Mr. Liao breathe a sigh of relief.
He nodded hurriedly, "Then next time, next time you want to borrow money, you can come to me -"
After a pause, he explained guiltily, "The person who borrowed the money this time is my sister's descendant. She rarely opens her mouth. I really can't refuse."
That's why I chose Gu Yao and gave up on you.
I'm really sorry.
Gu Ning pinched her fingers and nodded to express her understanding, "Anyway, thank you for your willingness to lend me money."
Those relatives in the past may not be as generous as the neighbors next door.
The first time I asked, I borrowed a thousand yuan.
Regardless of whether the other party borrows it in the end, at least they have this intention, right?
The more generous and decent Gu Ning was without any resentment, the more it made Mr. Liao feel guilty.
Until Gu Ning left, he sighed, "Look at what I did, it's really unethical."
Liao Gaoyi, who was next to him, was much calmer, "As my aunt's descendants and neighbors, I thought my father would clearly understand the importance between them."
For Liao Gaoyi, choosing to help his aunt's descendants is the right choice.
After all, Gu Ning is the outsider.
Although he didn't say this, Mr. Liao understood it clearly.
He fell silent and did not finish speaking.
And the other side.
After Gu Ning left, he didn't go home. Instead, he sat at the door of the yard and counted all the money he took out during the day.
There are a total of 6,033 yuan, and the remaining 3,000 yuan is left in the bank until it expires. There is no way to withdraw it before time passes.
Originally, according to her plan, she opened her mouth and asked her neighbors to borrow some, and when the time came, she would pay back the principal with interest when the turnover was clear.
However, this road is no longer feasible.
As for Zhou Zhiyuan——
The two of them had already broken up, and the loan they had agreed to make was of course gone.
She didn't want to talk about the Zhao family. As for Langjing Mountain and Xiaojing.
Gu Ning thought about it for a while, but still rejected it. Xiaojing lost her parents and the brother and sister depended on each other. It was impossible for her to borrow their living expenses.
Count it like this.
Gu Ning really couldn't borrow the money, so she thought about it for a long time.
I can only decide to take a step back and take the monkey ticket of 6,000 yuan.
It’s just that I’m afraid——
In the end, Yuan Yuan and the others were implicated in this matter.
Gu Ning was a little worried, and she didn't know how many versions of monkey tickets Yuan Yuan had. Tomorrow would be the weekend.
I hope the money is enough.
Don't cause trouble.
…
What Gu Ning didn't know was that Gu Yao had already started taking action after getting the money from the Liao family.
Yuan Yuan's home address was not difficult to find out, and she found the location quickly.
However, Gu Yao did not go directly to Yuan Yuan's house. Instead, she inquired about the news near Yuan Yuan's house, and asked the aunt who sold roasted sweet potatoes at the entrance of the alley.
After spending two cents, Gu Yao quickly found out the information she wanted.
The Yuan family released news that they were going to buy the 1980s version of the monkey tickets that the post office clerks were holding.
And it’s all acquired.
When she got the news, Gu Yao couldn't suppress the secret joy in her heart. She finally knew why Gu Ning became a billionaire in the dream.
It's these monkey votes.
Gu Yao took a deep breath and couldn't help trembling all over. She was determined to win these monkey votes.
Gu Yao quickly made a plan. She planned to pick peaches directly.
So, Gu Yao directly knocked on the door of Yuan's house.
Mr. Yuan is negotiating with his colleagues and will meet with Gu Ning tomorrow to discuss the sale of monkey tickets.
Gu Yao's arrival directly interrupted them.
Gu Yao said straight to the point, "I am willing to buy the monkey ticket for ten yuan!"
The scene fell silent instantly.
Gu Yao added fuel to the fire and slapped the thousand yuan she asked from the Liao family directly on the table, "This is the deposit, and I will pay the balance within a week."
"Of course, I have one condition: you are not allowed to see Gu Ning tomorrow morning!"
She wants to cut off Gu Ning's path to becoming a billionaire!
