rebirth of cataclysm

Ever since Zhong Ying came to Hu Mingchen's house, the news that Hu Mingchen's family was going to collect ginger for business spread like wildfire. Within two days, most of the people up and down the surrounding hills knew about it.

As more people knew about this, the number of people who came to Hu Mingchen's house increased correspondingly. Some people came just out of curiosity to see the situation, while others came to inquire about the price and planned to dig out their own ginger and sell it.

There are also some people who came to his house with the same purpose and ideas as Zhong Ying.

For example, the next day, Hu Mingchen's second mistress Hu Youqin came.

"Oh, second brother, your family is going to do a big business. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's quite a grand event. It seems like you're going to be free to do something big." Hu Youqin said exaggeratedly as soon as he entered the door.

"What kind of big business? My family doesn't have the capital to run a big business at all. We just want to try our luck and make a small fuss." Hu Jianjun said modestly.

"It's just a little fuss, hehe, second brother, do you think you have to repair two baking ovens even if you are just making a fuss? It seems that Xiaochen is really making money by doing business on the side of the school. I heard mom

Say, you paid her back all the money you owed her." Hu Youqin continued with a smile on her face.

"Hey, mom has to force me to do it." Hu Jianjun sighed.

"That's because you have it, so she can force it out. If you don't have it, it's useless no matter what."

Hu Mingchen, who was standing aside, really couldn't listen to Hu Youqin's sinister tone: "Second mistress, what do you mean? Do you want to imitate grandma and force my family to pay off the debt?"

Even a fool can tell that this is probably the purpose of Hu Youqin's words. Otherwise, why would he use such yin and yang lines?

"Oh, Xiaochen is still smart, but I'm not forcing your family to pay back the money, it's just...my family really doesn't have any money to buy feed now. Didn't I buy a pig for your family last time, and I still owe you money?"

Your family's eighty yuan. I don't have enough grain to feed my family, so I plan to buy some feed, but I don't have a penny. Second brother, look, if your family is rich, could you lend me some to buy some feed?"

Hu Youqin clearly came here to ask for money, but he made it sound like she didn't mean anything.

Hu Mingchen's family still owed Hu Youqin's family several hundred yuan, but Hu Youqin came to borrow money. The 80 yuan from the pig sale last time was agreed to be offset against the bill. Hu Youqin said that he owed 80 yuan. No matter who it was, no matter who it was.

When you hear it, you will feel hypocritical.

As the old saying goes, a family's bones are broken but its tendons are connected, but sometimes, when encountering difficulties, it is better to find outsiders. Just like Zhong Ying and Hu Youqin, outsiders haven't come to collect debts yet, but they can't wait. How can this be the case?

Yes, it is more shameless to attack one's own people than outsiders.

"His second wife, can you please watch it for a while? We haven't started here yet. If we return the money to you, it will be difficult for us to continue." Jiang Yucai really didn't want to face Hu Youqin, but

Even though she was forced to come home, she couldn't say a word.

Jiang Yucai didn't mention borrowing money, but directly said to pay it back. She naturally understood Hu Youqin's thoughts and purposes, but now, the family is not really well-off. She has already repaid Zhong Ying 600, and if she pays back 400 to Hu Youqin,

Twenty yuan, then how can we start the business of collecting ginger? Therefore, Jiang Yucai's words were a bit like a request.

"Second sister-in-law, it stands to reason that I shouldn't come to your place, as if I'm here to ask for money to force you into debt. The main reason is that I'm really in a difficult situation. That good-for-nothing Zhu Fei went to borrow money yesterday.

I couldn't borrow any money, so I came to my second brother to see if you can start a business and you always have more money than me. If I don't buy some feed for the pigs, I'm afraid that by the time of the Chinese New Year, the pigs won't be able to

Sell ​​it." Hu Youqin's words sounded very reasonable, but she didn't show any intention of letting go.

The implication is that Hu Youqin wants to get some money back today no matter what.

"Second mistress, stop talking, do my family still owe your family four hundred and twenty yuan?" Hu Mingchen asked in a deep voice with a straight face.

"Yes, it was originally five hundred yuan. When the pig was sold, it was worth eighty yuan, so there was still four hundred and two yuan left." Hu Youqin replied.

"Then wait a minute, I'll pay you back with the money." Seeing that his mother Jiang Yucai had no objection to the number, Hu Mingchen turned around and went into the house to get the money.

Previously, Hu Mingchen's money was hidden in the cracks of the toilet. After taking the money to pay back his grandmother Zhong Ying yesterday, Hu Mingchen put the remaining money back under the mattress at home.

Since they won't leave until they get the money, Hu Mingchen has no choice but to pay back the money.

It's uncomfortable to owe others money, and it's even more uncomfortable to have people come to your door to demand debts. It's even more difficult for Hu Mingchen to accept being ruthlessly forced to pay debts by his own family.

No matter how difficult it is, Hu Mingchen is not willing to face this kind of embarrassment that is almost bullying. If he has no money, he can pretend not to hear or see. If he is rich and can afford the few hundred yuan, Hu Mingchen is not willing to face it.

The second mistress, Hu Youqin, bowed her head in front of her.

"Second mistress, take this, here is four hundred and twenty yuan. From now on, we will settle everything and no one owes anyone anything." Hu Mingchen handed the four hundred and twenty yuan to Hu Youqin with a stern face.

"Oh, second brother and second sister-in-law, you see, I really didn't come here to ask for a debt. This makes me a bad person." Although Hu Mingchen reached out and took the money from Hu Mingchen, Hu Youqin still said this, which was a bit embarrassing.

Come on if you feel disgusted.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Since I owe you the money, just keep it." Seeing Hu Youqin accepting the money from Hu Mingchen, Hu Jianjun looked ugly. After saying a few words, he walked away.

Hu Youqin is his sister. It would be strange for Hu Jianjun to care about his face when he asks for money like this in front of his wife and children. To put it mildly, it’s good that Hu Jianjun didn’t fall out with her.

"Second sister-in-law, look at second brother...Second sister-in-law, don't have any ideas. This is too difficult for me, isn't it." The second brother walked away, and Hu Youqin turned to Jiang Yucai again.

"You don't have any ideas. What do you have in mind? Paying back debts is a matter of course. Youqin, sit down for a moment. I still have some work over there. I'll finish it." Jiang Yucai is a sister-in-law.

No matter how unhappy she felt, she would always be more polite than Hu Jianjun.

The second brother and second sister-in-law walked away, and Hu Youqin also got the money. It became awkward and unnecessary to continue to stay at Hu Mingchen's house. So after looking around a few times, Hu Youqin left Hu Mingchen's house.

"Humph, you are sweet-tongued but dark-hearted. You must have listened to your grandma's words, so you hurriedly came to our door. You were really afraid that we wouldn't be able to pay back the debt. As sisters, they are not as good as outsiders." As soon as Hu Youqin left, Jiang Yucai

He came out of the back room and cursed.

"Mom, I just don't like Second Mistress, she's not nice at all." Hu Yandie followed Jiang Yucai and said while holding her hand.

"What kind of good person can she be? She can do such things." Jiang Yucai said.

Hu Mingchen, who was sitting on a small bench with his head down depressed, raised his head and said, "Mom, I'm afraid you didn't say that when you asked my second mistress to borrow money. You should have said that she was a good person at that time."

"At that time... we didn't borrow money from her at that time. How could we talk bad about others when we borrow money from others?" Jiang Yucai choked and said unconvinced.

"So when you ask someone to borrow money, you say something you don't mean. Of course you can also tell lies when someone comes to ask for money. What's the point? The key is to be tough on your own and don't go to anyone casually.

Borrow money, only then, others will not say things that make you lose face in front of you." Hu Mingchen was very unhappy that Hu Youqin came to ask for money, but the reason was not caused by his family always asking for help.

When Hu Mingchen said this, he seemed to be motivating his parents. In fact, he was telling himself that he must be self-reliant, free, self-reliant and strong, only then can he live with dignity.

As for his parents, according to Hu Mingchen's understanding, even if they get angry now, it won't actually do much good. Before the rebirth, grandma Zhong Ying came to the house to ask for the account on New Year's Eve, causing a lot of noise. However, even though

Even so, it didn't stop my parents from continuing to borrow money. The next year, when they had no choice, they shamelessly went to grandma to borrow money.

Don't Jiang Yucai and Hu Jianjun care about face? Of course not, it goes against the common sense of human nature. However, they did not decide what to do just because they were criticized and humiliated. They were always trapped in the whirlpool of poverty and could not get out.

What Zhong Ying and Hu Youqin did made Hu Mingchen feel chilled, but just feeling chilled could not change anything. If it was just chilling, then Hu Mingchen would be no different from his parents.

"Son, don't worry, as long as we have money in the future, we won't just ask others to borrow money." Jiang Yucai said weakly.

"That's not nonsense. Anyone who wants money will ask someone to borrow it. The key is how to get money without the money falling from the sky. Even if the money falls from the sky, you still have to bend down to pick it up.

That's all right. That's why I want to do some business, just farming, that's absolutely not possible. You see, if I hadn't made some money selling cards, if people want money, what can they give back? I can't borrow it from my employer.

Return to the Xi family."

"So...your father and I support your ginger business, but...you paid back your grandma's six hundred for us, and now you've paid back your second concubine's four hundred

Second, I'm afraid this business won't be able to continue, right? You probably don't have much capital anymore." Jiang Yucai said with shame.

"There are difficulties, but the more this happens, the more we have to do it. No matter what, we can't give up this business. Mom, don't worry, I will find a way to solve the capital issue, and you can just help me get things done.

If you don't want to be looked down upon by others, if you want to live without borrowing money, you have to work hard and give it a try." Hu Mingchen rubbed his head and stood up.

"Xiaochen, I support you. When our family gets rich, grandma and second concubine come to borrow money. We don't want to lend it to them and let them bully others, huh." Hu Yandie clenched her fists and said angrily.
