Chapter 114: Borrowing Money for My Mother's Family
Lu Jiaxin said: "Your parents said that, your eldest sister must have believed that you took the money. Now we still need to find out where your parents' money went?"
"What?"
Lu Jiaxin heard about the old man's money being cheated in her previous life, she asked: "Fifth sister-in-law, are you sure your parents really have savings?"
Ma Lili nodded and said: "Yes. My father has a high salary, and we are very frugal on weekdays. I dare not say how much, but I must have saved three or five thousand."
Lu Jiaxin said: "Then their money may have been cheated a long time ago, and they dare not let your eldest sister know, so they lied and lent it to you to buy a house."
Normal people would not do this, but Ma's father and mother were a little obsessed with the continuation of the incense. They couldn't come up with the money and were worried that Ma's eldest sister and her husband would regret and let the child change back to their original surname. It is not impossible to make up a lie to coax Ma's eldest sister.
Ma Lili was so angry today that she was dizzy and didn't have the energy to think about this matter at all. After listening to Lu Jiaxin's analysis, she quickly calmed down: "You are right, I have to find out where their money went first."
Lu Jiaxin sympathized with Ma Lili. It was unfortunate to meet such parents and sisters. It is really not advisable to beat a child just because Qiangqiang accidentally let the cat out of the bag. Isn't this taking anger out on the child? However, as a sister-in-law from the next room, she couldn't say much. When the fifth brother comes back, he must remind him to pay more attention to the child's psychology and not to create any shadows.
Lu Jiaxin didn't pay much attention to the Ma family's affairs. After all, every family has its own problems. She herself was accused of being unfilial! But she had no feelings for Lu Hongjun. As long as no one said anything about him in front of her, she didn't care.
After taking the prescribed medicine, Lu Jiaxin took Qian Xiaoxiao to the doctor for a follow-up check the next day. There was no seat on the bus, so she stood in the aisle. At the next stop, a young woman with a pretty face in her twenties squeezed next to her.
"Ah..."
A scream rang in Lu Jiaxin's ears, scaring her. Turning around, she found Qian Xiaoxiao holding the hand of the woman next to her.
The young woman wanted to struggle, but unfortunately she couldn't get away.
Seeing Lu Jiaxin looking at her, Qian Xiaoxiao explained: "Sister Xin, this is a thief. She cut your bag with a blade to steal your money."
Although she is two years older than Lu Jiaxin, this is her employer, so she followed Xue Mao and called him that.
Lu Jiaxin looked down and saw that her small backpack was really cut, and she didn't notice it at all. This thief's stealing skills are quite high.
When the passengers heard that she was a thief, they all checked their packages. A man shouted that his wallet was missing, and he suspected that the young woman had stolen it.
Qian Xiaoxiao immediately reached out to touch the woman, and unexpectedly found two wallets on her waist. Because it's cold now, everyone wears a lot of clothes, so it's not abrupt to put two wallets in.
Just as the man reached out to take the big wallet, Lu Jiaxin took the wallet first: "Tell me, what's in your wallet?"
The man paused and said, "I just put some money in it."
Lu Jiaxin looked at his expression and suspected that he was trying to fish in troubled waters: "How much money is in the bag?"
The man said that he put several hundred in it, but he didn't remember the exact amount.
Seeing that he couldn't even say how much money, how could Lu Jiaxin give him the wallet: "We are going to send her to the police station now, and I will give the wallet to the police uncle. If you want the wallet back, tell the police uncle!"
The man originally wanted to frame Lu Jiaxin for embezzling his money when he saw that Lu Jiaxin didn't give her the wallet, but he shut up after hearing this.
When the bus stopped, the man got off the bus and ran away. Qian Xiaoxiao couldn't chase the thief, so he could only watch him run away.
A policeman at the police station took their statements, first praising Qian Xiaoxiao for being brave, and then reminding him and Lu Jiaxin to seek help from other passengers if they met bad guys again and not to act rashly. The main thing is that the two people have tender faces, and you can tell at a glance that they are more than ten years old.
Qian Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly: "No need to ask for help, I am not afraid of ten like this."
The police looked at him sideways.
Lu Jiaxin explained: "Her grandfather is a martial artist, and she has been practicing martial arts with her grandfather since she was a child. She can beat three adult men by herself."
The police looked at the thin and small Qian Xiaoxiao, with a face full of doubt: "Really?"
Qian Xiaoxiao hated others questioning her the most, and immediately stretched out her right hand and said: "If you don't believe it, we can try arm wrestling."
Lu Jiaxin pulled her arm: "Uncle Public Security, we still have things to do, if there is nothing else, we will leave."
After the two people left, the police saw the thief covering his right hand and crying in pain. At first, he thought he was hypocritical, but when the thief rolled up his sleeves and revealed a bruise. He understood why Qian Xiaoxiao wanted to arm wrestle with him. This strength is totally unbeatable!
After leaving the police station, Qian Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "You shouldn't have stopped me just now. The police looked down on me. I have to let him know how powerful I am."
Lu Jiaxin said, "It's enough for you to know your own abilities. There's no need to prove it to everyone. Also, like the wallet thing just now, you should have verified it before giving it to him."
Qian Xiaoxiao got angry when she talked about this: "It's so shameless. He even wanted to claim the wallet. If I hadn't caught the thief at that time, I would have chased him and beat him up."
Lu Jiaxin didn't say that he shouldn't beat people. People are still relatively simple nowadays. Even if they beat the man up, it's okay as long as he didn't kill him. Unlike the various weird things that happened later, people went to other people's orchards to steal fruits and were discovered by the orchard owner. They fell and injured themselves while escaping and asked the orchard owner to compensate them. It was infuriating to see.
Because of this episode, it was already past three in the afternoon when she returned home from the follow-up checkup with the doctor. When she opened the door, she saw Ma Lili washing the sheets and quilt covers.
Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised: "Fifth sister-in-law, why didn't you go to work?"
Ma Lili said that she had taken a day off and it was not worthwhile to go back to work: "Jiaxin, have you eaten? If not, I'll make it for you."
Lu Jiaxin waved her hand and said, "No, Xiaoxiao and I ate outside. Fifth sister-in-law, you have been busy these days and it's hard. Go back to the house and have a good rest! Leave the housework to Xue Mao and Xiaoqiu."
Both of them couldn't sit still, and they also discussed selling lunch boxes at Xiushui Street, but this idea was suppressed by Lu Jiaxin. Now that Xiaoxiao is here, she has taken over all the heavy work.
Ma Lili said that she has no problem with this little work.
Lu Jiaxin has the habit of taking a nap. The biological clock is very scary. She didn't sleep today and is very sleepy now. She yawned and prepared to go back to the house to rest.
When she walked to the door and found Ma Lili following her, she knew that she had something to say to her. After entering the house, she smiled and asked, "Fifth sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Ma Lili was a little embarrassed to speak.
Seeing her like this, Lu Jiaxin had a bad feeling, so she said, "Fifth sister-in-law, call Fifth Brother! If there is anything, discuss it with him. If it doesn't work, ask him to come back and deal with it."
Ma Lili shook her head and said, "Now the family owes so much debt, we rely on him to make money to pay off the debt."
Lu Jiaxin nodded to show that she was right, and then yawned. The meaning was obvious, she was going to sleep.
Seeing this, Ma Lili spoke up: "Jiaxin, I asked my parents, and they didn't say anything at first, but I asked them repeatedly and they told the truth. They lent 3,000 yuan to my cousin for business. But my cousin is not good at business, and he lost all his money and owed a lot of debts."
Lu Jiaxin asked curiously: "It's not shameful for your parents to lend money to your cousin, why didn't they tell your eldest sister directly, but said they lent it to you."
Ma Lili smiled bitterly and said: "Jixiang changed his surname to Ma last month. If my eldest sister and brother-in-law knew that the family savings were gone, they would take the child back and change the surname back to Yan."
Lu Jiaxin was speechless. The Ma family didn't have an heir to the throne, and they had to have a male heir to continue the incense. But this was the Ma family's business, and she didn't want to meddle in it.
With a groan, Lu Jiaxin yawned again: "Fifth sister-in-law, I'm sleepy, go back to the room and sleep for a while."
Ma Lili shouted: "Jiaxin, wait a minute."
With a sigh in her heart, Lu Jiaxin turned around and asked: "Fifth sister-in-law, is there anything else?"
Ma Lili hesitated for a while and finally said: "Jiaxin, my parents begged me to admit this matter, and I refused. But they knelt in front of me and begged me, I, I couldn't refuse."
What do you mean you can't refuse? If you have the ability to fill this hole, then you can do it without saying anything. But you have no money but still agreed? It's okay if you agree, but why do you come to tell her? Why, she looks like a sucker.
For Lu Jiajie's sake, Lu Jiaxin still tactfully reminded: "Fifth sister-in-law, if you admit this, you have to pay back the money. Three thousand yuan is not a small amount of money."
Ma Lili said with red eyes: "I know, but I can't watch them die."
Lu Jiaxin wanted to die quickly, but reason made her restrain her impulse.
Ma Lili saw that she didn't say anything, and said with a stiff face: "Jiaxin, Jiaxin, can you lend me this money first? Don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as possible."
I wanted her to give up, but I didn't expect her to speak. Lu Jiaxin was a little angry and spoke bluntly: "Fifth sister-in-law, if you want to help your mother's family, you can find a way yourself. My money didn't fall from the sky. I earned it with my sick body. If any cat or dog has ideas, I will give it to them, and I won't leave any bones."
Why did she give Ma Lili three thousand yuan as soon as she came back, and took the initiative to say that if the money for buying a house was not enough, she could lend it to them. That's because Lu Jiajie loves the original body and is doing his best to protect her. In return, she took the initiative to help Lu Jiajie when he encountered difficulties, and was willing to help him make a fortune. But what are the Ma family and the Yan family? They are two families that people would rather avoid when they see them. Lending money to them, what are you dreaming about!
After saying this, Lu Jiaxin went into the house.
Ma Lili looked at the door that was slowly closing, her face burning. She thought she could borrow money if she asked, after all, Lu Jiaxin was very generous to their family, but she never thought that she would be so ruthless.
Lu Jiaxin didn't take this matter to heart, and fell asleep as soon as she lay down. When she woke up, she didn't get up immediately, but thought about the Ma family.
After digging through her memory, she found that Ma's father and mother were very frugal, and they were reluctant to buy meat dishes on weekdays. Lu Jiajie and Ma Lili could only buy meat, chicken and duck by themselves if they wanted to eat meat. So, the two of them had been married for six years and saved more than 2,000 yuan. She doubted that the couple would lend such a large sum of money to their nephew if they were so frugal? Even if Ma's father is willing, will Ma's mother be happy?
Since there is suspicion, we must find out.
