Chapter 115 Human Nature
Lu Jiaxin immediately got up and went to the yard to see Xiaoqiu busy in the kitchen. She asked strangely: "Why are you cooking, where is Xue Mao?"
Xiaoqiu said: "The fifth aunt went to pick up Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng, while Brother Mao and the little lady went to get the steamer."
The pancakes made by Xue Mao are delicious, and the steamed buns and wontons made by Xiao Qiu are delicious. There are some people in the alley here who don't want to make breakfast, so they go directly to their stalls or buy something to take home. It's just that they can't do more if they want, because there are no restrictions.
Lu Jiaxin said: "Didn't I tell you not to do so much? How tiring it is?"
Being able to make money, Xiaoqiu doesn't feel tired at all: "Sister-in-law, it's cold now and we can store things. We'll make the chaos and dumplings at night, and we can just take them over and cook them the next day."
Lu Jiaxin didn't want them to work so hard, but they insisted and couldn't stop them forcefully: "I don't object if you want to make more money, but you must fulfill my requirements."
Xiaoqiu graduated from junior high school but her handwriting was ugly. Lu Jiaxin asked her to practice calligraphy every day. The difference between Qian Xiaoxiao and Xue Mao is that one graduated from elementary school and the other has never been to school and only knows a few words. Even the words he recognized were forced to learn by Lu Jiaxin.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we have people who study and practice calligraphy every day."
After dinner in the evening, Ma Lili said: "Jiaxin, the children and I have been living here for such a long time, and there are already people gossiping in the alley. I have packed up over there, and I will move there during the weekend."
Lu Jiaxin guessed that she wanted to leave because of what happened in the afternoon, but after what happened this time, it was impossible for her to stay. However, she still asked politely: "After you move here, you have to go to work. Who will pick up and drop off the children then?"
Ma Lili said that she could drop off her children by herself in the morning. If she couldn't catch her children after school, she would ask her colleagues to help pick them up.
"It would be nice if someone answered."
The next day, Lu Jiaxin took the medicine and went to the canteen to call Lu Jiaguang. She heard that he was at work and was not busy today, so she took a car there.
Lu Jiaguang poured her a glass of water, sat down and asked, "Why can't we talk over the phone? Do we need to come to work?"
Lu Jiaxin told the story about the Ma family. After she finished speaking, she frowned and said, "Brother, I always feel that something is wrong. I remember that the fifth brother once said that the fifth sister-in-law's uncle was worried about their family's property, especially his The uncle also wants his son to take over from her father, so the relationship between the three brothers is very bad. In this case, would they really lend so much money to their nephew for business? "
Thinking about it, it's impossible. Unless you want to adopt a child, you don't have to wait until now. Also, Sister Ma and her husband have relented, so the probability is even slimmer.
Lu Jiaguang's face suddenly turned ugly: "Has she lost her mind and asked you to borrow money to fill the hole in her parents' family?"
Lu Jiaxin said: "I refused."
After a pause, she said: "I guess it was Brother Wu who told her. She knew the exact amount I earned and thought it would be less than three thousand, so she would lend it to her."
After making 20,000 pairs of shoes, after removing all costs, the average profit per pair is about thirty. Although the heavy payment will be obtained after delivery, I already have a 20 deposit in hand. Relatively speaking, three thousand yuan is small money to her.
Lu Jiaguang was very angry and said, "Isn't it more than three thousand? The couple only saved more than two thousand after seven years of marriage."
After a pause, he said: "Even if your fifth brother asks, I can't borrow it, otherwise I will come to you if anything happens in the future."
Jiajie was short of money to buy a house, so Jiaxin took the initiative to lend it to him. It is a good thing for siblings to help out when they can. But who is the Ma family? Why should Xinxin help fill in the holes in their house?
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "Fifth brother is not stupid, how can he bear a foreign debt of three thousand for nothing! Brother, see if you can ask someone to find out whether the money was really lent or a trap."
Lu Jiaguang also suspected that this was an excuse for them to ask Lu Jiaxin for money. Even if she didn't mention it, he would have sent someone to investigate.
Seeing that her complexion was much better than when she first came back, Lu Jiaguang asked, "I remember you were supposed to go for a follow-up visit yesterday, did you go?"
A bright smile appeared on Lu Jiaxin's face. It was so thoughtful that her eldest brother, who was so busy, still remembered the time of her follow-up consultation: "I went and told the doctor that my recovery was better than expected. I think I should insist on taking eight immunizations every day." Because of Duan Jin.”
Lu Jiaguang cared so much about her, so he naturally knew that she had learned Baduanjin from Master Qian, but he had been half-convinced about the claim that Baduanjin could strengthen the body: "Is this Baduanjin really so effective?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled: "Brother, do you want to learn?"
Lu Jiaguang really wanted to learn, but he was too busy and had no time. Just like now, I wanted to have a good talk with Lu Jiaxin, but I got a phone call and had to report to the boss.
Two days later, Lu Jiaguang called Lu Jiaxin and told him: "Your fifth sister-in-law's parents and nephews did come to borrow money to start a business, but they were rejected."
Lu Jiaxin laughed angrily, these shameless people were really plotting against her.
Lu Jiaguang's voice was a little low: "Yan Fang took a fancy to a house. He asked the Ma family and his wife to buy the house for Yan Jixiang, saying that it would be a guarantee for their children. The house cost 6,800 yuan, and the Ma family couple only had 3,000 yuan on hand. Yan Fang and his wife were unwilling to contribute money, so they were still a long way from buying a house. They originally wanted your fifth sister-in-law to transfer the money to them to buy a house, but they didn't expect that your fifth sister-in-law was a step ahead. After making a lot of money, I will make an idea for you.”
When he heard the news, he was very angry. Many people knew that his sister had 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in savings. She was afraid that someone would come to Jiaxin to borrow money. This girl couldn't bear it, so she deliberately spread the word that the money was with him! But she didn't expect that the one who finally plotted against her sister was Ma Lili.
Lu Jiaxin was silent for a while and said, "Brother, don't tell the fifth brother about this in advance."
Lu Jiaguang thought he was worried about the business over there, and was afraid that Lu Jiajie would be distracted by family matters and make mistakes. However, he felt that if a man couldn't handle such a small matter and was distracted, he would be a waste: "You have to tell him, otherwise your fifth sister-in-law will borrow money from others."
Lu Jiaxin said, "I just want to see if she will go into debt for her family and ignore the fifth brother and Qiangqiang Xiaofeng."
Lu Jiaguang disagreed with her approach: "Three thousand yuan is not a small amount. She is going to borrow, and the one who will pay it back in the end is your fifth brother. It will take him three years to pay back such a large sum of money. Don't worry about it, I'll tell you."
Lu Jiaxin After a pause, he said, "Brother, did Fifth Brother tell you how much profit I made from this batch of shoes?"
Lu Jiaguang hummed and said, "He said that this business can make about 600,000 yuan. You received a deposit of 200,000 yuan, and there is still more than 500,000 yuan to be paid for the follow-up goods. He is also worried that Su Heyuan will default on the payment for the goods, and is preparing to ask for money when the first batch of goods is delivered."
"Brother, have you told your sister-in-law about this?"
Lu Jiaguang said, "Your sister-in-law was worried that you would be cheated because you are young and inexperienced. I said you were not cheated and you made some money."
As for how much he made, he didn't say. It's not that he doesn't trust his wife, but he thinks the fewer people who know about such a large sum of money, the better.
Lu Jiaxin said: "Fifth brother must have told Fifth Sister-in-law. She thinks I made five or six hundred thousand, and I will definitely agree to borrow three thousand."
Speaking of this, she paused: "Last time, he was careless and told Second Uncle and Second Aunt that I had a big house. They came to Sijiu City to occupy my house. Now he has done this again. I think he should be taught a lesson."
Lu Jiaguang felt that the price of this lesson was a bit high.
Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly: "Three or five hundred will not hurt, only a large amount will hurt him, and he will remember it."
If he still can't remember it, he can only be said to be a hopeless person. However, after these two things, she dare not ask Lu Jiajie for help in the future.
Some readers have suggested that the original handling method is problematic. I thought about it and found that the plot is indeed flawed. The heroine is now rich and confident, and she should not have as many concerns as before.
