175 Chapter 174, Bold Decision
“Brother, this money is too much, so you borrowed 500 Yuan!” Zhang Jun took out 200 Yuan and handed it to Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun said, “Alright, just take it. Buy some clothes and snacks for the children.”
Zhang Jun was a little hesitant, but Zhang Kun spoke to w.a.n.g Yuechu again, “Mother, give me the household registration book.”
Zhang Kun’s household registration book had been moved out when he got married, and now it was only his name alone in one registration book. However, this registration book was usually unused and kept in his old home.
w.a.n.g Yuechu went to the cabinet to search again and soon found Zhang Kun’s account book.
Zhang Kun took the account book. Zhang Jun still refused to take the money, “Brother, you want to get married. There will be many places where you can use money. Take this money and use it yourself. The children play at home all day long, and there’s no need to buy new clothes.”
He stuffed the 200 Yuan into Zhang Kun’s pocket as he spoke.
Zhang Yao hesitated for a moment, then took out two bills and handed them to Zhang Kun.
“Kun, where did you get this money?” Zhang Dali, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
He said he needed 1,000 Yuan to buy a house a few days ago, and he borrowed from his siblings. How did he have money in his hands in less than half a month?
Even if he got his salary, it was only a few hundred Yuan a month!
Zhang Kun said somewhat embarra.s.sedly, “The money was given by Li Xu. She has some spare money on hand, so she let me use it first.”
w.a.n.g Yuechu and Zhang Dali looked at each other, slightly surprised.
Then, w.a.n.g Yuechu picked up the money in her hand and reached out to Zhang Yao and Zhang Jun, “Return it, return everything!”
Zhang Yao and Zhang Jun handed over the money. w.a.n.g Yuechu counted the money and saw that the amount was correct. Then, she took Zhang Kun’s hand and put all the money in his palm.
“Kun, you will get married and live an honorable life. We can’t have any wicked thoughts about her money. This 2000 Yuan is not a small amount of money. She is willing to give it to us because she wants it. But you can’t be shameless and really enjoy it,” w.a.n.g Yuechu said earnestly.
“Besides, she is a woman with three children. How much money can she earn from opening a small shop? Maybe she is giving you all of her savings. Listen to your mother. Yaoyao and Jun won’t spend much money in the village. Take your time to pay them back. There is no rush. Hurry up and send this money back to her.”
Zhang Jun listened to w.a.n.g Yueju’s words and nodded in agreement, “Yes, Brother. Sister-in-law is considerate of you, so you have to think of Sister-in-law too. Take this money back. We are not in a hurry to use it.”
Zhang Yao’s expression was awkward, but she did not say anything.
She was not the one in charge of the family. She had asked for the five hundred Yuan from her husband with great difficulty.
They had only lent it out for a few days, and her husband had grumbled several times at home.
When Zhang Kun saw the hesitation on his sister’s face, he knew that his sister’s life in her husband’s family was not easy.
She stayed at home all day to take care of the child and had no source of income. Anyone would criticize her.
He felt a little uncomfortable and whispered, “You guys take it. I know what I’m doing. I have your Sister-in-law’s back, and I’ll receive this month’s salary soon. This was also a token of her goodwill. I wouldn’t know what weird things she will fantasize about if you guys don’t accept it!”
Seeing that Zhang Jun and the others still didn’t accept it, Zhang Kun didn’t waste any more words. He directly threw the money at the heated brick bed, took the household registration book, and left.
Zhang Jun quickly piled up the money and ran out.
But by the time he chased after them, Zhang Kun had already left on his bicycle.
Zhang Jun stood at the door and looked at his brother’s back. He sighed helplessly.
He took the money dejectedly and went home.
w.a.n.g Yuechu got off the heated brick bed. When she saw her youngest son return with the money, she knew her eldest son had already gone far away.
After a moment, she sighed and said, “Since your brother left the money, then do as your brother said. Each of you will get 700 Yuan. I will keep the rest for your brother.”
Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment but still reached out his hand and took the money from w.a.n.g Yuechu’s hand.
But just as he took it, he suddenly remembered something. “Mom, it’s not right. Today is Sat.u.r.day. Brother can not get the certificate even if he takes the household register book.”
The few of them looked at each other.
Zhang Kun still didn’t realize. On the way back, he pushed his bicycle so hard that his tires almost started smoking.
When he arrived at the shop entrance, he casually leaned his bicycle against the wall and rushed in, “Hurry up, let’s go get our certificate.”
Other than Li Xu, two other customers and Li Yong were in the shop. When he heard Zhang Kun’s words, Li Yong couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
The two female customers looked at Zhang Kun while holding their smiles.
Li Xu’s face was a little red, and she quickly said, “We forgot that today is Sat.u.r.day!”
Sat.u.r.day? Zhang Kun immediately reacted, and his face quickly turned unsightly.
First, he was shy, and second, he was angry and anxious!
Why did the Civil Affairs Bureau not open on Sat.u.r.day? Wasn’t this a hindrance?
He stood rooted to the ground in a daze for a long time before returning to his senses.
Then he could only endure it for two days and wait for Monday.
However, Li Xu couldn’t regret it when Monday came, right?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Kun felt terrified. He wanted nothing more than to pull Li Xu to knock on the Civil Affairs Bureau’s door right now.
After Li Xu sent the customers away, Li Yong said, “I haven’t finished talking just now. Father and Mother asked me to come along this time because they want to discuss it with you. After this cuc.u.mber and corn are harvested, Father and Mother don’t want to grow wheat anymore. They want to build a big shed over this seven and a half mu of land.”
Li Xu didn’t expect her parents to be so bold.
It seemed that they had tasted the sweetness of the land!
Li Xu naturally supported this decision.
However, there was a problem, “There is seven and a half mu of land. Are the three of you enough to take care of it?”
“Why can’t we take care of it?” Li Yong also had his own ideas, “Since the temperature in the greenhouse is high and the crops are not restricted by the seasons, we can plant them separately. They will mature within certain intervals, and as long as the field work is not crammed into the same time slot, the three of us are more than enough.”
Li Yong paused for a moment, then said, “Besides, the economy has been bad recently, and it’s quite difficult for Big Brother to find a job. If he’s willing, won’t he earn more doing this at home than he does outside?”
Hearing Li Yong’s words, Li Xu’s eyes lit up, “Plant them at intervals? If that’s the case, let’s just produce and sell ourselves. I won’t buy from other places to stock up. In the future, give me all the vegetables produced at home.”
Seeing that the vegetables in Yuanyuan’s s.p.a.ce could no longer supply them with the speed of the sales, if that were really the case, it would be a win-win situation.
However, Li Yong was a little suspicious, “The key is, with so many vegetables, can this small store of yours continue to sell them?”
Li Xu chuckled, “You’re underestimating me. The store isn’t big, but the daily sales volume isn’t small. Moreover, your Brother-in-law and I have discussed that we will open a branch when we have more money!”
