Contentment grows joy

Chapter 66 Relatives
In the evening, Shen Ziqiang chatted with her casually.

Talk about this for a while, talk about that for a while.

Millet knew that his ultimate goal must be to talk about the matter Wen Cuizhi mentioned.

— Borrow money!

Mili pretended not to understand, and lazily walked around with him.

I see how long are you holding back?
"Wife?"

"Ok?"

"Grandpa called me today."

"Well, is the old man in good health?"

"Very good, he said he ate two steamed buns today."

"Well, that's good!"

"Grandpa rarely calls me."

"is it?"

"um, yes."

"Then it might be because he is old and misses you."

"He doesn't have a mobile phone, so he called me from Erbo's phone."

"Oh, then he may miss you very much."

Millet knew that the cousin Wen Cuizhi was talking about that day was the eldest daughter of the second uncle's family.

However, she would not be so stupid as to bring it up on her own initiative.

"Well, maybe."

Shen Ziqiang paused, then opened his mouth.

"Second Uncle, the last time you went back, you saw the one who was short, with messy hair and a very dark face."

"Ok, I know."

Speaking of the last time I went back to that small village, apart from Wen Cuizhi, Shen Yuehan, and Shen Ruhua's family, I am afraid that he, the second uncle, impressed me the most.

John Shen has five siblings.The eldest brother passed away very early, the second child was called Shen Abo, the third child was John Shen, the fourth and fifth children were named Shen Dani and Shen Erni respectively, they were married early, and they were all in a village not far away.

They move around a lot and have a good relationship.

As for why he chose the name of Abel, it may be the same reason as why John Shen chose the name of John.

"Why don't Auntie and Auntie have names like Dad and Uncle?" Milia asked Shen Ziqiang curiously.

Shen Ziqiang smiled and shook his head embarrassedly.

"Maybe they think that for women, it's just a matter of choosing a name. It doesn't need to be so troublesome, just follow the village custom."

Millet sighed inwardly.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt, Mili, have also met, and they are similar to Shen Yuehan, honest and good-hearted.

In short, I feel the same about this family, and I have a slight liking for it, but it is definitely not intimate.

In this Shen family, there is only one person who is affectionate, Shen Ziqiang.

The rest are just nominal relatives.

Shen Yuehan was already very old, and this Shen Abo looked even older. When Miu Li first saw him, he thought he must be eighty.

But Shen Ziqiang told her that Shen Abo was only two years older than Shen Yuehan.

Shen Abo is also a poor person. He has physical defects since he was a child, and he can't walk very well. Therefore, he married a woman with some neurological problems who came from nowhere. Ran off again, never to be found again.

Shen Abo dragged his two daughters with his inconvenient body, and then suffered from severe lumbar disc herniation, so he couldn't do anything.

In fact, it wasn't too bad. The first few years of the eldest daughter's marriage were passable, and the son-in-law was filial to him. Everyone felt that he had finally made it through.However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the eldest daughter became a widow and dragged her two sons to live a difficult life. The younger daughter is now in college.

Shen Abo had a gloomy face all day long, and Millet had never seen him smile.

Even when Millet greeted her and called him "Second Uncle", he only grinned slightly and hummed twice.Then he stuffed two crumpled hundred-yuan RMB into Millet, and walked away.

Millet chased after it, wanting to return it.

How could she take his money?

"Take it. He is the second uncle. This is a gift for you." Wen Cuizhi whispered beside him.

Millet had to be nailed in place, not knowing how to put the hand holding the money.

"The second uncle is also pitiful."

Shen Ziqiang sighed with difficulty.

"Now, he is relying on his cousin, and so is her cousin, it's not easy"

"Ok, I know."

"With her two children, she rents a house in the county town, sets up a stall, and runs a clothing business. She doesn't rest on New Years and holidays just to make more money. Last time, when we returned to the village, she actually wanted to come back and see our "

"Well, alas."

Millet also sighed softly.

Shen Ziqiang's seemingly ordinary declarative sentences always carry a touching element, which makes Lili's compassionate emotion burst out.

"She used to do that business as a mobile stall, and there was no appearance fee. Now, it seems that she can't do it anymore, and she has to rent a front."

"Oh."

Getting closer to the topic, Miu Li was a little nervous.

What should she say?Once Shen Ziqiang made his words clear, how should he express his position?Do you refuse directly?Or promise to borrow money?

"The second uncle called my mother and asked if we could lend some money to my cousin. Later, my grandfather also called me and asked me to lend some money to my cousin to help her. She is a poor person."

Before Li Li could think it over, Shen Ziqiang said today's theme.

"This, uh, uh, that, Mom also mentioned it to me when I just finished dinner."

Millet reluctantly replied.

"Second Uncle is indeed quite difficult. Well, it's not easy for my cousin. However, money is easy to borrow but difficult to get back. When we decide to lend the money, we have to prepare for the worst. That is, the plan of not getting it back. We need to think about whether the person you want to borrow money is worth it. If you really can’t get it back, will you really not feel sorry for it, will not regret it, and will not destroy you and the borrowed money? relationship with the person?"

"Honey, I'm so happy, you think the same as I do."

Shen Ziqiang said excitedly.

"Ha ha."

Millet smiled lightly.

"Money is generally used for emergencies rather than poverty. If the cousin is really anxious to use the money and you think you want to borrow it, you can borrow it, but you have to be prepared not to get it back. After all, in In my opinion, it is very difficult for their family to return it in a short time.”

Millet struggled to say what he agreed to borrow money from.

"My wife, I think so too. They are indeed pitiful. Even my grandpa called. My grandpa never asks me what I want. He is over 90"

"Well, yes."

Millet thought of Shen Ziqiang's grandfather, that kind old man, who was very considerate.

Last time, when Millet went back, he took out a stack of money from his close-fitting pocket, and forced to stuff it into Millet, five yuan, ten yuan, and a total of 200 yuan.

"Li'er, stay at home for a few more days. Our countryside is no better than your city. I have wronged you. Xiaoqiang, it is not easy to marry a wife. Treat her well."

His teeth have fallen out, and when he speaks, his mouth shrinks and shrinks, pulling the wrinkles that have piled up on his face.

"Well, okay, Grandpa, we will stay for a few days, the family is fine, don't feel wronged."

Millet lowered her head and smiled, and said.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will treat her well."

"what?!"

He didn't hear clearly, he looked at the millet with an empty mouth.

Shen Ziqiang leaned close to his ear, and repeated the words of Mioli and him loudly.

"Oh, well, well, that's good."

He grinned, smiled, and went back to his house on crutches.

"Honey, shall we lend her 5 yuan?"

Shen Ziqiang worriedly confirms the information to Miu Li.

"Well. However, compared to them, our economy is slightly better. You must know that we are also spending money."

Millet felt that she still had to speak clearly, so as not to be unclear when the time came.

As the saying goes, talk first and then don't mess up.

"I know, I'm sorry, ma'am."

Shen Ziqiang apologized in a low voice, his voice full of guilt.

Millet's heart trembled, should I continue talking?
Say!
After hesitating for a moment, Miu Li still spoke out some of the drafts he had typed in his mind in advance.

"Husband, you know, our financial capacity is also very limited. In case, I mean in case, in case other relatives are in the same situation as her, I will settle the accounts. If every family comes to borrow a sum of money , we may all have to drink Mistral wind”

Mili thought to speak in a serious direction, so as to serve as a warning, so as to avoid a lot of trouble later.

"Honey, no, don't worry. In fact, they are not the kind of people who are shameless. They will not ask us unless they have to. Borrowing money is not an honorable thing."

There were some small fluctuations in Shen Ziqiang's voice.

"Then what if everyone has to?"

Millet clenched tightly.

Although she couldn't bear it, she had to speak clearly, otherwise, this would be a bottomless pit!
"Honey, you believe me, no, really."

Shen Ziqiang's voice was a little louder, trying to hide his inner helplessness.

He didn't know what he used to guarantee his own character?The character of those relatives?

In front of Mili, he felt helpless for the first time.

He believed that he was definitely not a phoenix man.

But milia, would she believe it?

The millet at this moment is also complicated in my heart.

Should she believe Shen Ziqiang's words?
Are those relatives really not coming to borrow money?

Shen Ziqiang's thoughtfulness and the kindness of the relatives he saw when he returned to the village last time kept flashing through his mind.

Well, just trust him, and trust me too!
After a simple struggle, Milia chose to trust!
"Okay, husband, I believe in you."

Millet said softly.

She knew Shen Ziqiang, he was not a bad person, nor a person with good face.

He is a sensible person, and he will not give away his hard-earned money to others. In his heart, he, the child in his stomach and this family are what he wants in the end.

She had confirmed it countless times from the way Shen Ziqiang looked at her.

Millet smiled and shook her head.

Maybe, I might be worrying too much.

The next night, Millet told Wen Cuizhi the news that she agreed to borrow money, and at the same time she also euphemistically mentioned some general content of the conversation between her and Shen Ziqiang.

Wen Cuizhi is so smart, how could he not understand?

"Oh, your second uncle is also pitiful. It's not easy for you to earn money. I was thinking of calling them back and seeing if I can borrow less."

"Mom, no need, Xiaoqiang and I have already discussed it."

Millet looked at Wen Cuizhi, and smiled slightly, no matter what, she couldn't let others feel that she was stingy.

"Look, our family is really alas. There is no way, everyone has opened their mouths, and I am too embarrassed to refuse him. Xianghua is also pitiful. She lost her mother when she was a child, and married when she grew up. She thought it would be fine. Who knew she would Called me and said, Auntie, I'm really sorry, I know Xiaoqiang finally found a wife in the city, and I don't want to make trouble for him, but I really have nowhere to go, wait until I earn money, no matter how long it takes , I will definitely pay it back. This child."

Wen Cuizhi shook her head straight as she spoke.

Millet listened, not feeling moved.

"Mom, don't worry. She is raising an old father and two sons. She also has a younger sister who is going to college. It's really not easy. Don't worry about paying back the money. If you really can't afford it, you don't have to pay it back."

Miu Li imagined the tragic appearance of a middle-aged woman under the teasing of fate, and she felt compassion.

She didn't expect that she was such a charitable person!
"Oh, no, no, how can it be like this? Let's not talk about not letting her pay back the money. If she has money, she can pay it back if she is willing. If she really can't pay it back, let's not talk about paying it back."

When Wen Cuizhi talked about these human relationships, he spoke clearly and clearly.

Millet could not help but look at Wen Cuizhi seriously.

She had a gentle face, without any impetuousness.

"That's fine."

Mili felt that what she said was reasonable, and nodded at her.

"that."

Wen Cuizhi seemed to have something to say.

"what?"

Millet shifted her gaze back to Wen Cuizhi.

"What's your bank card number? Well, in the past, your aunt borrowed money from Xiaoqiang, and said that she has money now, and she wants to return it to him."

Wen Cuizhi squinted and looked at Mioli with a smile.

"what?"

"Your aunt used to feed the ducks. When she bought feed, she didn't have enough money. She asked Xiaoqiang to borrow 2 yuan. It may have been five or six years. They seem to have made some money in the past two years. Now , Seeing that Xiaoqiang got married and started a family, I felt that he might have to spend money, so I thought about paying back the previous money.”

These words were like a pair of sharp knives, slashing on the heart of Millet.

They are not the type to take advantage of others!

She felt ashamed of her previous series of narrow ideas.

"She asked me for Xiaoqiang's bank card number. I think it would be better to directly call your card."

Wen Cuizhi continued.

"Oh."

Millet didn't know how she dug out the bank card, and how she handed it to Wen Cuizhi.

I only heard Wen Cuizhi's excited voice when he called his aunt with his bank card.

Obviously, this borrowing and repayment is not accidental.

It may be accidental, but it is also inevitable accidental.

Borrowing the money must have been first, and repaying the money must have been discussed with them.

What is their purpose?

Of course, it is to prove their credibility in front of Millet, to prove their character, to prove Shen Ziqiang's innocence and value, independence and freedom!
No one can drag him down!
Even Wen Cuizhi and Shen Yuehan focused on millet.

People are poor and their ambitions are endless. It is probably not easy to see this cliché saying in real life now.

Fortunately, she saw it.

Comrade Mili, what else can you find fault with?

After sending Wen Cuizhi and Shen Yuehan to the bus, Mioli walked slowly in the garden of the community.

The street lamps stood side by side in an orderly arrangement, and the dim light passed through the immature saplings and faintly shone on the ground.

The ease after finishing one matter permeates Mili's body and mind.

At this time, Qianhui's phone call came.

"Li'er, do you have much money in your hand?"

Qianhui's voice was full of anxiety.

"Are you short of money?"

"No, it's your grandma, she"

"Grandma, what's the matter? Are you sick?" Milia's breathing was a little short.

"No, the son of her aunt and nephew got into trouble outside and was in urgent need of money. He found your grandma, and your grandma found me again. Don't I?"

"what??!!"

The millet burst instantly!

Relatives who are so far away have the nerve to ask us to borrow money?

What's more, Millet has also heard about it, and he is a slutty, trouble-making prodigal!
