Seeing Yang Huamei's expression of not being able to say it out loud, the good old lady Sun became anxious for her.

In her eyes, there were no outsiders at the well in the backyard.

So she came to Yang Huamei, grabbed Yang Huamei's hand that was twisting her clothes, and asked in a low voice with concern on her face: "Meier, what's going on? Is something wrong?"

Yang Huamei's face was full of tangles, and she smiled awkwardly. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Yang Ruoqing from time to time.

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, so Aunt Meier is worried about me?

"Mom, you talk to my aunt, and I'll pour some water to soak the watermelon later."

She deliberately did not avoid it, picked up the small wooden bucket with a rope next to it and threw it into the well.

When Mrs. Sun saw Yang Ruoqing leaning over the well to draw water, she was worried about leaving, so she had to stand by and watch.

But at the same time, he did not forget to care about Yang Huamei: "What's going on? You borrowed money and didn't tell me, which made me worry..."

Yang Huamei secretly sighed in her heart, but she couldn't bear any ill feelings towards this upright third sister-in-law, so she could only smile helplessly and give it a go.

"Third sister-in-law, I want to borrow two hundred and fifty Wen from you. I will pay you back when my rice is sold."

"Two hundred and fifty cents? That's not a good number. How about two hundred and sixty cents?" asked Sun.

Yang Huamei was overjoyed, and it showed directly on her face: "That's good. Two hundred and six is ​​two hundred and six. Thank you, third sister-in-law."

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "We don't say polite words to each other. Well, I only have sixty coins with me. Your third brother keeps the rest. He went out again. When he comes back, I will ask him to give it to you."

past?"

Hearing that Sun was going to arrange for Yang Huazhong to be sent there, Yang Huamei's smile immediately frightened her away.

She glanced secretly at Yang Ruoqing and found that Yang Ruoqing was leaning over to pull water with her back to them.

Yang Huamei pulled Sun a few steps to the side and lowered her voice: "Third sister-in-law, can you not tell my third brother? You should help me think of something. This money can be regarded as our sister-in-law's in private.

of."

Mrs. Sun looked puzzled, "Mei'er, even if your third brother knew about it, he couldn't stop him from lending you money. In the past few years, he has rushed to help you with anything that happened in your family, and you have forgotten it."

?"

Yang Huamei was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what she had just said might have been misunderstood by Mrs. Sun.

He shook his head and waved his hands hurriedly, and hurriedly defended: "Third sister-in-law, I didn't mean that. Of course my third brother is nice to me, but my brother is like my father. I'm a little afraid of him, so I'd better talk to you, third sister-in-law."

discuss."

"Good sister-in-law, you have watched my sister-in-law grow up, so just love me and don't tell my third brother, okay?"

Thirty-one-year-old Yang Huamei took Sun's arm and shook it gently, acting coquettishly and cutely like a child.

Sun couldn't resist and gave in instantly.

"Okay, let me help you think of something." She said.

Yang Huamei was so happy that she quickly let go of her hand so that Sun could go back to the house to open the box and get the money.

Although the third sister-in-law said that she only had sixty pennies on her and the rest of the money was kept by the third brother, as a couple, the third sister-in-law must know where the third brother hid the big money.

In fact, the moment Yang Huamei let go of her hand, Sun did lift her feet and turn around.

However, she did not go towards the house in the front yard, but towards the well. As she walked, she asked, "Qing'er, do you have any money?"

Yang Huamei raised her hand and patted her leg. Damn it. But it was too late to stop her now. She had to bite her teeth and close her eyes, turning her back and not daring to look at Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing had just pulled up a bucket of water from the well. When she heard Mrs. Sun's question, she turned around and nodded with a smile, "A little, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Sun lowered her voice, "Your Aunt Mei'er wants to transfer some money to me. I only have sixty cash, and I still have two hundred cash left."

Not to mention two hundred coins, just two hundred taels of silver in banknotes, Yang Ruoqing also had some.

"I'll look around to see if I have enough."

Yang Ruoqing took out a purse from her pocket and said, "The change is only one hundred cents. Mom, please ask my aunt. If you need it urgently, I will go home and get it."

Sun took away Yang Ruoqing's one hundred coins, added her own sixty coins, returned to Yang Huamei, and explained the situation.

"Qing'er said that if you need her urgently, you can go home and get it."

Yang Huamei glanced at Yang Ruoqing and found that she was washing her feet with water. She was so engrossed that she didn't seem to hear the conversation and didn't pay much attention.

"There's no need to go get it, one hundred and sixty coins is enough. Counting the forty coins that you and I borrowed two days ago, it's exactly two hundred coins. When I sell the rice later, I'll return it to Sister-in-law Three as well."

You!"

"No hurry, no rush, just take the flowers first!" Mrs. Sun said with a smile.

Yang Huamei nodded, collected the money, turned around and hurried away.

From the time I called to borrow money to the time I left, I didn't even have a few words with Yang Ruoqing.

After she left, Mrs. Sun returned to Yang Ruoqing and said, "Let's go back to the front yard."

Yang Ruoqing heard clearly all the previous conversations between their aunt and sister-in-law.

"Mom, my aunt also borrowed forty coins from you and my father two days ago?"

Mrs. Sun was about to nod, but suddenly shook her head: "Your father doesn't know, but he borrowed it from me."

"Oh?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes flickered slightly, "Why did you borrow forty yuan? What can you buy?"

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "Why don't you borrow money? It was like this that day. A fish seller came to the town. I heard he was a relative of someone in our village. He sold it under the old maple tree. Many people came to support him.

.”

"It happened that your aunt and I were also there, so we both bought some fish. Your aunt didn't have any money with her at the time, so she transferred forty coins from me."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "So that's what happened."

While the two mothers were talking, the well water was brought into the backyard kitchen, and a large green-skinned watermelon was put into the well water to soak.

After finishing work in the evening, I would cut it and eat it after taking a shower. It would be as enjoyable as eating a cold drink.

"Qing'er, there's some stewed mung beans with coptis in the pot. Do you want a bowl?" Sun suddenly remembered this and came over to ask as if offering a treasure.

Yang Ruoqing touched her belly: "Don't drink it yet. My mother-in-law left sour plum soup for me when I got home. I couldn't control it and drank two large bowls in one go."

Mrs. Sun followed Yang Ruoqing's hand and glanced at her belly and smiled: "Okay, then don't drink it yet. I'll save it for you to drink at night."

The two women moved small stools to enjoy the cool air at the entrance of the corridor, enjoying the breeze blowing through the hall.

"Mom, my aunt clearly knows that my father is in charge of the money in our family. You only have a small amount of money in your hand. She borrowed it from you and didn't let you tell my father. Why is that?" Yang Ruoqing asked innocently.

Mrs. Sun only regarded this as a casual chat topic and said without thinking too much: "She is afraid of your father. I don't want to alarm your father about a small amount of money."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "It's really just a small amount of money, but I guess most of the pocket money you have has been borrowed, right?"

Sun basically doesn't need money. In her own words, the family has no shortage of anything. Food and clothing are provided by Yang Huazhong and the children at home. If you want to visit relatives and friends, just ask Yang Huazhong to get it.
