Wei Zhenghao looked at Zhu Qiulian in a daze and didn’t speak for a while.
The two sons of elderly man Wei had finished the entire plate of meat in front of them while they were talking.
After they finished eating, the two children still wanted more. They looked at their mother and asked, “Mom, do you still have meat? I still want to eat more!”
“Mom, 1 haven’t had enough. Brother finished everything just now. 1 didn’t even eat a few pieces!”
“You’re talking nonsense. You clearly ate the most.”
Seeing that the two children were getting more and more aggrieved, Zhu Qiulian quickly said, “All right, all right don’t fight anymore. Grandma will give you the money. Just buy another plate.”
Anyway, her youngest son knew she had money in her hands, so she did not pretend anymore.
After so many days of pretending, his grandson didn’t even get to eat much meat, which was why he was so cowardly.
She took out her small handkerchief, opened it, and took out ten Yuan from it. She handed it to her eldest daughter-in-law, “Go to the small shop in front and see if there are any more. If there are, buy more. There are so many people in our family!”
The eldest daughter-in-law took the money and left with the child happily.
“Mother, I’ve given you quite a bit of money before, how could you do this?” Wei Zhenghao said impatiently.
Previously, when he worked for Zhang Yao, she would give him 300 Yuan a month.
After deducting the expenses at home, he could earn about 200 Yuan a month.
At that time, he was afraid that Zhang Yao would ask for it back, so he gave it all to his mother.
Why was it so difficult to get back the 300 Yuan now?
“No, don’t even think about it!” Zhu Qiulian waved her hand and said.
“Consider it a loan from me, I’ll write you an IOU!” Wei Zhenghao continued, “Not only will I write you an IOU, but I’ll also give you interest. Deal?”
However, no matter what Wei Zhenghao said, Zhu Qiulian wasn’t moved.
“You’re too much. I won’t beg you anymore. Don’t bother about me in the future!” Wei Zhenghao was so angry that he slammed the door and left.
The loud sound startled Zhu Qiulian.
Eldest Wei was also shocked. Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly thought of something, “Mother, if you make Second Brother angry, what if Zhang Yao doesn’t come over later?”
When Zhu Qiulian thought of this, she also felt a little vexed for a moment. “Why didn’t you remind me just now? You can even change the subject. What do we do now?”
Zhang Yao was the first person in the village to grow vegetables, and only she knew what was going on.
Although other families also grew some vegetables for themselves, they were not proficient in it. Basically, they had to find an open s.p.a.ce on the ground and spread the seeds to let them grow on their own.
Anyway, they planted them to eat for themselves, so they didn’t care what they looked like.
It’s better if it looks ugly, no one will steal it!
So for this matter, she really could only ask Zhang Yao for help.
The mother and son were worried at home. Wei Zhenghao wandered outside and went to the small shop in front.
The convenience store in the village was fully functional and sold everything. Steamed buns, pig’s head meat, and simple cold dishes. Although they didn’t taste good, many people would come to buy them during the busy farming season.
After entering the shop, he said directly, “Fourth Uncle, give me a three-Yuan pig’s head. I didn’t bring any money with me. Help me keep the bill. I’ll come back another day to pay you back.”
Everyone in the village was related to him, so he had to call the shop owner’s Fourth Uncle.
He didn’t have money on hand, so he didn’t dare to buy too much. He would just buy a little less.
“All right, do you want the slimmer or fatter one?”
“A fatter one!” Wei Zhenghao said.
He looked at the meat and swallowed his saliva.
“What’s going on with your family?” Fourth Uncle asked jokingly. “They’ve bought pig’s head meat three times a day. Since you like it so much, you should buy more at once so that you don’t have to run errands!”
“Three times?” Wei Zhenghao asked in surprise.
“Yes, your Sister-in-law just brought the two children here to buy a ten-Yuan one. I just left and you came. Half an hour earlier, your mother came to buy it too.” Fourth Uncle didn’t know about the Wei family’s tricks. He cut the meat quickly, put it in a plastic bag, and handed it to Wei Zhenghao.
Wei Zhenghao’s expression was a little dull.
It turned out that the plate of meat on the table was not brought by his sister-in-law’s brother, but by his mother.
But why did she lie to him?
He reached out and took the plastic bag from Fourth Uncle.
He didn’t go back to his brother’s place but went back to his own home.
He took a small stool and sat at the door of the kitchen. As he stuffed the meat into his mouth, he felt more and more upset.
How much money had he given his family all these years?
And how many things did she buy for mother and Big Brother?!
However, did they really have to do this? He even had to be secretive when eating meat.
The meat was obviously bought by his mother, but he insisted the child’s uncle bought it. Was he afraid that he would also eat it?
Usually, there was no meat at all when he went to eat. Why was there meat on the table as soon as he left today?
Also, when his two nephews spent money, his mother readily gave them money.
However, when he lies to her mother and said that Wenwen was sick, her mother did not give her any face at all!
His heart was a mess.
At 1:30 pm, Zhang Yao waited for a long time, but Wei Zhenghao didn’t come to see her again.
She muttered in her heart, “Could it be because of the matter of borrowing money?”
Thinking of this, she was secretly happy.
After waiting for a while, she got up, changed her shoes, and was about to walk out.
Zhang Kun asked her, “Are you going to water the land in the afternoon? I’ll go with you, I’m not in a hurry to go back anyway!”
As she spoke, he also wanted to follow.
“I’m not going to the field yet,” Zhang Yao said mysteriously. “I’m going to find Wei Zhenghao.”
“Why are you looking for him?” Zhang Kun was a little surprised.
Zhang Yao laughed. “We can’t fall out with him now. There’s still a good show to watch!”
“What do you mean?” Zhang Kun didn’t understand.
Zhang Yao smiled and said, “Yuanyuan didn’t just tell me this. In fact, borrowing money was just a prelude. After all, she was his mother. How could Wei Zhenghao fall out with his mother so easily? I don’t think he’ll go that far for a mere 300 Yuan.”
“There’s still a next step?”
Zhang Yao nodded. “In another half a month, the eggplants in their shed will be ripe. According to the old woman’s personality, she probably won’t give Wei Zhenghao any money. By then…”
Then, Zhang Yao looked up at Zhang Kun and said, “Yuanyuan’s little brain is really good. She’d thought so much in such a short time.”
Zhang Kun sighed and said in a low voice, “I’d rather she wasn’t so smart. She’s just a child, why does she have to think so much?”
“Do you need me to go with you?” he asked.
Zhang Yao shook her head. “Don’t worry. They have a favor to ask of me. They won’t dare to do anything to me.”
Then, Zhang Yao turned around and left the house.
Looking at Zhang Yao’s back, Zhang Kun sighed helplessly.
Zhang Yao soon arrived at Wei Zhenghao’s house. She had lived there for seven or eight years and she was very familiar with the place.
As soon as she entered, she saw Wei Zhenghao sitting at the kitchen door with a gloomy face. She didn’t know what he was thinking.
Seeing Zhang Yao coming over, he quickly got up and put on a polite expression.. “Why are you here? I was thinking of picking you up later!”
