Chapter 40 Borrowing money to buy meat?

Seeing that Luo Sujuan hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhang Hengfeng pursed his lower lip lightly, and said again: "Sujuan, this matter can't be rushed! We have to establish a good relationship with Yang Xiaobao first, and explain our difficulties to him then, that At that time, he should not be able to refuse us."

"Hey!"

Luo Sujuan sighed helplessly, and replied in a low voice: "Okay then!"

Then, the two didn't stand still any longer, and they walked towards their home together.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

In the morning, the weather was still gloomy and oppressive.

But in the afternoon, the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, revealing the blue sky.

At this time, Yang Xiaobao was sitting in the yard with Su Guihua, enjoying the sunshine leisurely.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard.

"Ok?"

Hearing the sound, Yang Xiaobao and Su Guihua followed the sound and looked out at the same time.

Looking at it, I saw an old man walking towards the yard.

"Uncle Geng?"

Seeing the old man, Yang Xiaobao was surprised.

The old man's name is Geng Jingzhong, and he is a widowed old man in Shitou Village. He has lived almost his whole life, but he has not been able to ask for a wife or anything!

In addition, Geng Jingzhong is also a lazy person who eats a meal when he has something to eat, and doesn't want to go to the ground even if he is hungry if he has nothing to eat.

Right now, Geng Jingzhong suddenly came to the door, which made Yang Xiaobao and Su Guihua feel strange.

Before the two could recover, Geng Jingzhong approached them.

"Little Treasure, I heard that you have returned to normal, so I came here to have a look!"

Before and after, Geng Jingzhong looked straight at Yang Xiaobao, and said flatteringly.

Yang Xiaobao reluctantly continued to smile, and responded: "Uncle Geng, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

"This?"

Hearing Yang Xiaobao's question suddenly, Geng Jingzhong was stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed.

Seeing this, Su Guihua frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Geng, if you have something to say, just say it, why hesitate?"

"call!"

After what Su Guihua said, Geng Jingzhong let out a long breath, and after calming down a bit, he finally expressed his intention of coming: "Xiaobao, I...I came here this time, actually...I actually want to borrow some money from you!"

"Borrow money?"

Accompanied by Geng Jingzhong's words, Yang Xiaobao was startled, feeling like he couldn't laugh or cry.

In the morning, Zhang Hengfeng and his wife came to see him with presents. Although the couple didn't say anything else, Yang Xiaobao knew very well that the couple might be planning something, maybe it was because of his money idea.

It wasn't long before that, when Geng Jingzhong came to the door.

He was not so subtle, directly stating that he was here to borrow money.

"That's right!"

Geng Jingzhong nodded, and whispered: "I'm going to buy some fertilizer to fertilize the crops in the field, but I don't have that much money, so I just want to ask Xiaobao to borrow some!"

After saying this, Geng Jingzhong looked straight at Yang Xiaobao, his eyes full of urgency.

Yang Xiaobao's expression was bitter and helpless, although Geng Jingzhong only borrowed some money to buy fertilizer, but if he set this precedent, who knows if other people in the village will follow suit?

Su Guihua didn't intervene, Yang Xiaobao earned the money by his own ability, how to use it depends on Yang Xiaobao's wishes.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Xiaobao looked at Geng Jingzhong apologetically, and said, "Uncle Geng, I'm really sorry, all my money was used to treat my sister's leg injury, and I can't move a single cent! "

"what?"

Seeing Yang Xiaobao's refusal, Geng Jingzhong's face was at a loss, and his mind was in a trance. Originally, he thought that he was here to borrow some money to buy a few packs of fertilizer, and Yang Xiaobao probably wouldn't refuse.

After all, how much can a few bags of fertilizer cost?Compared with the more than 20 yuan that Yang Xiaobao received from Zhou's family, it was nothing worth mentioning.

After being stunned, Geng Jingzhong pursed his lips in a hurry, and begged bitterly: "Xiaobao, it's only a few hundred yuan. When my crops grow and I sell them, I will return the money as soon as possible." Can you?"

When he said this, Geng Jingzhong stared straight at Yang Xiaobao, the pleading in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

"no!"

Yang Xiaobao refused without thinking: "Uncle Geng, I have just made it very clear just now, the money is all for my sister's leg injury, I will not lend out even a cent!"

"This?"

Geng Jingzhong was stunned, and opened his mouth several times to speak, but for a while, Yang Xiaobao's words made him speechless again.

"Hoohoo!"

After a while, Geng Jingzhong took a deep breath, calmed down, and then continued: "Xiaobao, this is good, you can't lend me 100 yuan, right? I have eaten meat!"

"100 yuan?"

After Yang Xiaobao heard what Geng Jingzhong said, he couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't expect that Geng Jingzhong could really say it here.

Before Yang Xiaobao could respond, Su Guihua, who was sitting in a wheelchair, took out a hundred-yuan bill from her bag and handed it to Geng Jingzhong.

"Uncle Geng, take this money to buy meat and eat it, you don't have to pay it back!"

"Really?"

Geng Jingzhong was startled, but the movement of his hand was not slow, and he directly snatched the 100 yuan into his hand.

Su Guihua was full of bitterness, sighed helplessly, and said, "Of course it's true. I said you don't have to pay it back, so you don't have to pay it back!"

Hearing this, Geng Jingzhong was overjoyed, and said gratefully: "Osmanthus fragrans is the best for you!"

After saying this, Geng Jingzhong didn't stay any longer, so he took the 100 yuan and left.

After Geng Jingzhong left, Su Guihua looked back at Yang Xiaobao, and asked puzzledly: "Xiaobao, he just borrowed money to buy a few bags of fertilizer, why didn't you agree?"

Yang Xiaobao smiled slightly, and explained: "Sister, do you really think he borrowed money to buy fertilizer? I have seen those fields of his family, the weeds are almost growing to full height, where are there any crops?"

"what?"

Su Guihua was surprised, if a little unbelievable.

Yang Xiaobao didn't care, and continued: "In my opinion, he's just greedy, and wants to borrow money to buy meat!"

Su Guihua was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful look on her face.

After a long time, she turned around from her thoughts and said with emotion: "Why are there so many poor people in this world?"

Seeing Su Guihua sighing, Yang Xiaobao also sighed in his heart, knowing that Su Guihua remembered what happened to him and felt that he was also a poor person.

After a moment of silence, Yang Xiaobao changed the subject and said, "By the way, sister, the weather is so nice, why don't we... let's go out for a stroll?"

"it is good!"

Su Guihua nodded, calmed down, and then walked out of the yard accompanied by Yang Xiaobao.
