Since he was not sure about the purpose of Jiang Chaohong coming, Lin Shu used the time he went back to the bedroom upstairs to wash and called the old house to report his safety.
My mother-in-law Wang Suzhen answered the phone.
Wang Suzhen was very happy when she heard that it was Lin Shu's call. She heard that she and her in-laws had already returned to the city, so she was even happier and directly invited them to come to their house for dinner if they had time.
"Mom, we just came back. There are some things to be busy with at home and the company. When we finish these two days, we will take our two children to see you and dad."
Wang Suzhen heard I didn't get angry when I refused, but I felt a headache when I thought of the company, shop and factory they built.
"Okay, I'm too anxious. You guys look at the arrangements and call me in advance to inform me if you want to eat. I'll ask my aunt to go to the market to buy the dishes you like."
"But, you guys take advantage of the situation. Now that I am young and busy, I should also pay attention to my health. If I want to say, if you live for a lifetime, just have enough money. If you keep yourself so busy, making so much money is not a number in the end.”
Lin Shu smiled "I understand, thank you for your concern. How is your family recently? Everything is fine? Have the fourth sister-in-law brought the child to see you recently?"
Gu Jiu came out of the bathroom, opened the duffel bag and started to help When he sorted out the clothes and other items inside, he heard Lin Shu ask about this, and even slowed down his movements in his hands. "No, they are busy with work, so how can they have time to bring their children back? Your dad and I miss you very much at home. Remember to come back for a meal in two days."
From Wang Suzhen's tone of speaking, we can feel that she did not know what happened to Gu Zhiyuan and his wife.
It's right. Now that the family is separated, everyone doesn't live together. Even if the couple quarrels or something happens, I believe that the two old people in the old house will not know until a certain extent.
Lin Shu and Gu Jiu looked at each other, chatted with Wang Suzhen for a few words, and hung up the phone.
"Do you think your sister-in-law has had a fight with your brother or something happened?"
Gu Jiu folded his clothes and put them in the closet, and smiled when he heard this: "As long as I do, I am aware of it." It seems that it’s not a quarrel, but it may be that I have encountered a difficult situation. Come to us to make a difference.”
Lin Shu couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this. She knew it, but in a word, it was a matter of money.
"We are not a charity here. If she encounters difficulties, it doesn't matter if the money is less. If she borrows more, it will make us embarrassed."
Gu Jiu said calmly. : "You go and wash first, we will go down to see what she says."
Lin Shu and his wife guessed upstairs, and then washed up from upstairs and changed their clothes.
Sitting on the sofa and chatting for a while, while Liu Xiao'e left to go to the kitchen to arrange evening meals, Jiang Chaohong spoke up about the reasons for finding her.
From her, I learned that this time I came here to borrow money.
And the borrowing money is not something that the old Si Gu Zhiyuan wants to use, nor is it that the fourth room needs to use urgently.
Jiang Chaomeng's family has a younger brother. She was idle at home after graduating from elementary school and achieved nothing.
Two years ago, taking advantage of Gu Jiukai’s fruit wholesale, he took out his parents’ pension money to open a fruit shop.
At the beginning, the business was pretty good, and I could make dozens of dollars a day. Later, the business got better and better. I slowly saved some savings, and my family's situation was getting better.
If this continues, the Jiang family will be considered a small family member in a few years. As long as they are not profitable, they will have almost no worries about food and clothing in their entire life and do not have to worry about money.
But the bad thing is that this little brother of the Jiang family is restless.
In the past, I stayed in the store every day, but later I slowly contacted my friends from the past, so I rarely had time to stay in the store and often didn’t have home.
A few months ago, somehow, the younger brother of the Jiang family became addicted to gambling.
Don't drink alcohol if you are poor, and don't bet if you are rich.
This makes sense.
The poor people are greedy for that little wine every day. Under the influence of alcohol, they are drunk and dreamless and have no motivation and are depressed. Once a person develops this habit of living, it is difficult for him to turn over. This life is basically seen at a glance. If he has some savings on his body, he dares to gamble. Nine out of ten bets will lose. The capital of all evil dares to get involved. If he doesn’t lose his family, who will lose his family? "That, sister-in-law, your brother is addicted to gambling. No matter how much money he is, he will not lose. You borrowed money from us to fill his hole. This is the fourth brother. Do you know? "
To be honest, Lin Shu is unwilling to borrow this money to repay the gambling debt.
Borrowing is equivalent to getting a waste of water.
Who can guarantee that the Jiang family will change their minds and become a new person?
Jiang Chaohong smiled guiltily: "I discussed this with him. At first he didn't agree, but later after I persuaded him, he agreed."
Lin Shu looked at his face I knew that Gu Zhiyuan would not agree to this matter.
He had no choice but to bother Lin Shu and his wife to trouble Lin Shu and his wife.
Gu Jiu leaned on the sofa, holding the second treasure in his arms, and said in disagreement: "Sister-in-law, you have to discuss this with my brother. Although the money is not too much, it is not too much. You are the one who borrows the money. I came here to borrow it, but who will repay it?" Jiang Chaohong smiled awkwardly: "Of course I will borrow this money by me."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Jiu asked again: " If you come to pay it back, my brother really agrees? "
"This"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in one 6, one 9, one book, one look!
Jiang Chaohong looked at Lin Shu like he was asking for help.
Lin Shu wanted to curse in her heart, and sighed: "Sister-in-law, don't you say whether my brother agrees with you to borrow money, just say that you, Brother Jiang, really won't bet? Or do you mean he has quit gambling? "
Jiang Chaohong hurriedly promised: "I quit gambling. He promised me and promised me that he would not gamble again. You believe me."
Lin Shu shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe in you, but that I don't believe in gamblers. If you really do your best for him, it's better to wait a few more months to see if he really says what he says. In the next three months, he really didn't go to the gambling market, and I'll lend you money to it."
To be honest, it's hard to win the trust of the gambler's words.
What if I borrow money from here and pay back the debt, and Brother Jiang goes to borrow money from here to bet?
Linshu will definitely ask them to pay back the money he lent out. The couple will share the debts. Isn’t this a burden for Gu Zhiyuan to bear all his debts without knowing it?
As the wife of the Gu family, Lin Shu would not do such thankless things.
"Three months?"
After hearing Jiang Chaohong, he shook his head: "If you lend me money in three months, the fruit shop will lose three months of profits. Let's not talk about the fruit shop for now. , if I don’t pay back the gambling debt, how can my mother and brother live without food or drink? ”
"Didn't my sister-in-law have a salary in these three months? You can support them with some living expenses first." Lin Shu gave her an idea.
Jiang Chaohong shook his head helplessly: "It's useless for me to give them living expenses. If you don't pay back the money one day, you won't think about living a normal life one day. People come to collect debts every day. My mother is in poor health. First of all, she will not be able to withstand this stimulation. "Then you can take your mother to your house to live for a while. You live in the dormitory of your unit. Those who collect debts will never dare to go to the fourth brother and their unit. Let's make a fuss?"
Lin Shu doesn't believe in social people who walk in a wrong way. He dares to go to the fourth brother and his unit to collect debts for such shameful things.
Jiang Chaohong cried with a sad face, "The unit has only two dormitories, and we and my wife and a few children are enough to live in. My mother has nowhere to sleep."
Lin Shu had a headache. This was not possible, nor was that possible. She was so sure that she would lend her money?
Gu Jiu picked up the phone next to him and said, "You can't make up your mind, so I'd better call my brother and see what he says?"
"No!"
< br>".Sister-in-law."
Gu Jiu looked at Jiang Chaohong suspiciously at the phone. (This chapter ends)
