A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 28 Every family has a hard-to-read scripture
The visitor was Aunt Wang.

Mother Li quickly asked her younger brother to give up her seat and politely asked her to sit down.

Aunt Wang sat at the table, glanced at the food on the table, and felt a little more confident about what she was going to say next.

"Go, bring your aunt some dishes and chopsticks." Mother Li didn't even ask, and just asked her eldest sister to go to the kitchen to get the dishes.

"Don't go, don't go." Aunt Wang held down the eldest sister who was about to get up, and said to Mother Li: "Why are you so polite to me? I brought it here at home."

"After you've eaten, let's have some more. The big, soft steamed buns were just steamed today." Mother Li said enthusiastically. Seeing that her eldest sister was being held down and unable to escape, she started to walk to the kitchen.

"Oh, pretend someone doesn't have one. It's really not necessary." Aunt Wang is also a cheerful person. She speaks directly when she has something to say. She stepped forward and grabbed Mother Li, dragging her back to sit down.

One wanted it, the other didn't want it, they were pulling it back and forth, almost tearing it apart.

Those who didn't know thought the two were arguing about some world problem.

Li Xiang couldn't stand it, so he quickly went over to pull the two away, and before Mother Li could get angry, he asked Aunt Wang the purpose of her visit to change the subject.

"Hey——" Aunt Wang sighed deeply, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.

Seeing her like this, Li Xiang understood immediately and asked her directly: "Auntie, is it because of money?"

Aunt Wang had helped the Li family a lot in the past. Among the Li family's debts, the biggest debt was from her family.

Over the years, all the debts from other families have been paid off, and the last bit left to be paid is Aunt Wang’s.

Seeing that she was in such a dilemma, Mother Li did not hesitate, and explained to her: "I owe your family 36 yuan, which is almost all I have collected, but the child said that it is not less for such an old man." To cause trouble to your family, I can no longer just repay the principal as before, so I am thinking of waiting for my salary to be paid at the end of the month, and then repaying you with the principal and interest together. If you are in a hurry now, take all the things you have at home first. .”

Aunt Wang said with some excitement: "What you said is so serious. Could it be that our relationship over the years has been in vain? How can I ask for your interest?"

After saying that, her expression became depressed again. The relationship between the two families had always been good, and she had nothing to hide.

He took Li's mother and Li Xiang to the inside and outside, and explained to them: "I was also forced to do nothing by that little beast."

Aunt Wang doesn't even want to call her son by his name and calls him a beast, which shows how disappointed she is in him.

It turns out that Aunt Wang's son, Wang Sheng, was idle outside and met a bunch of pig friends. These people usually do everything except serious things.

Not long after, Wang Sheng was encouraged by these people to gamble.

At a very young age, my concentration was very poor, and I loved to pursue excitement. After playing for a few days, I got into this bad habit.

When he first started playing, these people would always win him a small amount of money. Once Wang Sheng got addicted to gambling, they would start to reap the rewards.

After losing all the money he had won, he was asked to steal money at home and go out to gamble. After stealing it several times, Aunt Wang and his wife discovered that they started to be wary of him.

Seeing that he couldn't make any money, he stole valuable things from home. A brand-new radio was stolen by Wang Sheng and sold at a low price before it was used for a year.

After that, Aunt Wang didn't dare to go out unless there was something important, because she was afraid that if she didn't pay attention, the house would be emptied out by him.

Now that the family couldn't get any money at all, the gang began to encourage him to steal outside.

I was still scared at first, but after several successes, I became more and more courageous and stole more and more things.

It's just that the money in exchange couldn't last more than two days before it was deceived by this group of people again.

What should I do if I have no money? I will steal again, but if I walk a lot at night, I will always encounter ghosts.

Wang Sheng was caught red-handed. When the people watching outside saw him being caught, they ran away without caring about his life or death.

It was Wang Sheng who knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, begging people not to send him to the police station.

He also knew that once he entered, it would be difficult to come out.

The person it was stolen from was a streetwalker before liberation, but he changed his mind later.

Seeing that Wang Sheng was really young and the way he was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing was really pitiful, I was willing to give him a chance.But this opportunity came with a price. After Wang Sheng took him home, the man learned about the Wang family's situation, and the price doubled in his mind.

He asked for 400 yuan, but if he didn't give it, they immediately sent Wang Sheng to the police.

What can the Wang family and his wife do? Even though they are extremely disappointed with what their son has done, they are their biological children after all, so they can't help but watch him go in.

The couple asked for a few days' grace and began to collect money. They had not planned to ask the Li family for it.

But today I heard from the third aunt that the Li family is so great now that they can make three sets of clothes at a time.

Previously, Aunt Wang would just listen to it, but now she was really in urgent need of money, so she came over to try her luck.

The mother and son heard that Aunt Wang's family had such difficulties, so what else could they say? Mother Li took out a handkerchief from the bottom of the box, and there were some odd amounts of money in it.

Mother Li counted each point clearly in front of Aunt Wang.

Li Xiang also put all the money in his pocket, collected 37.3 yuan, and handed it to Aunt Wang.

He said sheepishly to Aunt Wang: "Aunt, I can only collect so much money. When I have enough money at the end of the month, I will repay you with the remaining interest."

"I told you that there will be no interest, and I will pay you back the extra money. 36 yuan plus what my family raised is enough." Aunt Wang saw that they gave them too much, and she didn't want to take the extra 1.3 yuan.

Li Xiang quickly stopped her from giving the money back and persuaded her: "Don't tell me that this was the original plan. Now is the time when your family needs money. If you solve this matter, you won't have enough money. What's the interest rate?" I have to supply you more.”

"You kid, I lent you money because of my friendship with your mother. If this little beast hadn't gotten into trouble, I wouldn't have been able to rush you to your house no matter what."

She was not blind. Aunt Wang, who was usually so cheerful and generous, couldn't help but choke up a little while talking about the accumulated votes in the handkerchief.

This made the Li family feel even more guilty. They obviously owed money to others, so why did the creditor feel more miserable than they did.

Li Xiang even started to reflect on himself. If he had known earlier, he would have spent less yesterday and paid off the debt first.
Why is it now so difficult for both the debtor and the creditor? Both parties feel sorry for the other.

Aunt Wang took the handkerchief handed over by Mother Li, wiped away her tears, calmed down a little, stood up and was about to leave.

She couldn't be sure whether the money from her husband was enough. After returning home, the couple had to add up the money. She had just lied that the money was enough, but she was just afraid that the Li family would have to pay interest. She charged the extra 1.3 I already feel guilty.

After sending Aunt Wang to the door and watching Aunt Wang leaving, mother and son were filled with emotion. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.

Li Xiang suddenly had a thought and had an idea in his mind.

He quickly went out to catch up and shouted:
"Aunt Wang, wait a moment, I have something to say."

　Thank you to the three reader friends "Winter in the Empire", "The Lonely Bookworm" and "20210301106460054746" for their monthly votes.
