Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 149 Borrowing Money
Thinking of how Tao Qiuyi had caught them selling grain, Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui both looked embarrassed.

Tao Qiuyi didn't say it directly, but they were originally going to the town to sell food today, which made the two of them feel very fortunate.

If Tao Qiuyi knew what the two were thinking, she would definitely cry out in injustice. She just asked politely if they had taken the initiative to say that they were going to the town to sell grain.

"Qiuyi, you still care about me and your aunt. It's thoughtful of you." Li Yuegui tried hard to hide her embarrassment with a smile.

"You are thoughtful." Zhou Mei also said this.

Care about them? Tao Qiuyi was stunned for a moment, then speechless. These two really know how to flatter themselves. Don't they know what their relationship is?

Tao Qiuyi dared to guarantee with her personality that she did not care about Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui, she really did not.

It was when she got off the ox cart in the town that she discovered that not only Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui did not get on the ox cart, but the two female educated youth did not get on the ox cart either.

Everyone was silent, and the room became very quiet, extremely quiet.

Half an hour is actually very short. Most of the time had passed. Seeing that Li Hongying, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law had not yet explained their purpose, Tao Qiuyi impatiently wanted to drive them away.

"Grandma, aunt, and third aunt, what on earth do you three want to talk to us about?" Wei Jingyuan was more annoyed with them than Tao Qiuyi because they were delaying his rehabilitation time.

It's just that due to their status as elders, they can't just chase people away.

Wei Jingyuan didn't say anything to chase people away, but Li Hongying, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law could still hear his intention from his words.

"You..." Li Hongying was about to curse, but Zhou Mei held her arm and said, "Mom, it's better for me and my third sister-in-law to handle this matter."

"You are the elder, you should be enjoying a peaceful life. It is unfilial of us, the younger generation, to make you worry about these things."

After saying that, Zhou Mei winked at Li Yuegui.

Li Yuegui was angry. Why did she have to be the peacemaker again? Unfortunately, she was angry but dared not say anything.

Li Yuegui gritted her teeth and looked at Tao Qiuyi.

"Qiuyi, the reason why your aunt and I didn't get on the ox cart was because our food was bought by two female educated youth." Since Tao Qiuyi had seen it, Li Yuegui didn't want to hide it and admitted it generously.

"Today, your aunt and I went to the market in town to sell some food to supplement our family income. At the entrance of the village, we met two female educated youth who wanted to sell food, so we sold it to them."

"As you know, each household gets very little food, and we villagers rely on this food to survive the winter."

"Even so, the grain won't sell for much money."

Having said that, Li Yuegui looked at Li Hongying and Zhou Mei. Seeing them nod at her, she looked at Wei Jingyuan again before continuing.

"We discussed it and decided that since you sold the house to us and received a reward from your superiors, you must have some extra money. So we thought we'd lend you some money to help us through this crisis."

After a long time, it turned out that he came to borrow money. Wei Jingyuan frowned and looked at Tao Qiuyi.

"You have always been the one making the decisions on all matters at home." The meaning is very clear. She has the final say at home, and she also has the final say on whether to lend money or not.

"Okay." Tao Qiuyi was very satisfied with Wei Jingyuan's performance. She turned to look at Li Hongying, and was speechless when she saw her attitude that I am the elder and you should respect me.

Looking at Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui again, they both had smiles on their faces, and seemed to be somewhat aware of asking others to borrow money.

However, since they knew that the villagers depended on food to survive the winter, why didn't anyone suggest giving some food to Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings on the day of the division?

Tao Qiuyi knew that she was an outsider and could not get any food, but Wei Jingyuan and his two siblings were part of the Wei family. Li Hongying, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, listened to Wei Jingyuan's words and cursed him in their hearts, saying he was useless.

Wei Jingyuan has already expressed his opinion that he will listen to Tao Qiuyi. The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the other two looked at Tao Qiuyi, feeling a little anxious.

This is not a man who is easy to talk to.

"Jingyuan, Qiuyi, we're only borrowing money from you to tide us over this crisis." Zhou Mei was the first to get impatient. She quickly assured him, "Don't worry, we won't lend you much. Just a hundred yuan, really."

When they met Tao Qiuyi at the entrance of the village, Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui wanted to force Tao Qiuyi to lend them money in front of everyone.

Unfortunately, the ox cart arrived at the wrong time and they didn't get to say anything.

Asking to borrow a hundred yuan, and asking if it's not a lot? Wei Jingyuan frowned, reached out and shook Tao Qiuyi's small hand on the table. Then he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip.

No one knew how fast his heart was beating just now.

One... one hundred yuan. Li Zi, who had been pretending she didn't exist, suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhou Mei in disbelief. Xiao Huai also came over and stood behind Tao Qiuyi.

What was this? Silent support for Tao Qiuyi? Li Hongying looked at the three siblings and wanted to scold them again.

Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

"That's right. If you want to borrow money, just say you want to borrow money. There's no need to talk about feelings." Tao Qiuyi nodded with a smile.

Li Hongying was clearly about to leave in anger, but was persuaded by Zhou Mei. It was obvious that she had come with a purpose, and it turned out that she wanted to borrow money from her.

As long as you're not causing trouble, lending me money is easy.

Tao Qiuyi smiled and asked, "I want to borrow a hundred yuan, no problem, but I need to know who is borrowing it? Who will pay it back? When will it be paid back?"

Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui were stunned by the unexpected fact that Tao Qiuyi was so easy to talk to.

Li Hongying, on the other hand, felt that this was as it should be, and said as a matter of course: "I borrowed it, so of course I have to pay it back. As for when to pay it back, I will pay it back to you when I have money."

In other words, if you don’t have the money, you don’t have to pay it back.

"Comrade Li Hongying's meaning, I understand it as, you borrow money, you pay it back. If you have money, you pay it back. If you don't have money, you don't pay it back, right?" Tao Qiuyi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"How dare you talk like that? I'm your grandmother, how dare you disrespect me like this." Li Hongying really didn't intend to pay the money back, but she didn't admit it.

"The abacus beads are flying on my face, and you are the only one who is paying me back. You are not borrowing money, you are robbing me in the name of borrowing money. I am very sorry, but I will not lend you a penny." Tao Qiuyi refused directly.

Li Hongying was annoyed by being rejected outright. "You just said it was okay to borrow a hundred yuan?"

"I said I wanted to lend it to you, but you wanted to rob me. The money is mine, and I won't lend it to you if I say I won't lend it to you. Goodbye." Tao Qiuyi didn't want to waste time talking to Li Hongying, so he ordered her to leave.

"You little bastard, you're too lawless." Li Hongying was so angry that she forgot everything. She stood up and slapped Tao Qiuyi in the face...

Tao Qiuyi sat on the long bench without moving or dodging, looking at Li Hongying's waving hand calmly.

It’s bad, Zhou Mei and Li Yuegui were shocked at the same time.

It was too late to stop it, and he could only watch Li Hongying take action.
