  Chapter 24 Your Dirty Money

  The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Xu Fang went out in the heavy rain. Instead of going to work, she went to Liu Hongsheng's house in the front yard.

  Only Liu Hongsheng's lover Li Mei and Liu Zili are at home.

  Li Mei is forty-eight years old, her hair is already half gray.

  She married Liu Hongsheng ten years before giving birth to a child. Only Liu Zili, a son, has been held in her palm since she was a child.

  Seeing Xu Fang coming over, Li Mei also vaguely guessed something. She doesn't go to work, and usually stays at home. These days, there are rumors about her family's Zili and Ji Ling in the family courtyard, and she has heard some.

  Ji Ling has a bad temper, and Li Mei doesn't like it, but she can't bear her son's liking, so she simply turns a blind eye, and it's not boys who suffer from left and right.

   "Come into the house quickly, don't stand by the door, if there is something urgent, you have to come here in the heavy rain." Li Mei is used to being praised by others, and she always speaks in a strange way.

  In the entire family courtyard, she was the one Xu Fang didn't like to see the most, but today she was sent to the door to make people slap her face. Even if she didn't like it, she could only endure it.

  She stood at the door without moving, and took out the prepared money from her pocket, "Sister Li, count it, here is a hundred dollars."

  Li Mei groaned, "Xu Fang, what do you want my old Liu to do? You have to make it clear first, otherwise I won't dare to accept the money."

"Sister Li, I'm not asking your brother Liu to do something. My Ji Ling borrowed 100 yuan from your family a few months ago. This child lent money to her grandma to support her health. The matter has been hidden from us. Today your family Zili told me, and I found out. I'm really sorry, look at what happened."

Li Mei groaned, then clapped her hands with a smile, and took the money directly, "What's the matter, you came here to pay back the money in the heavy rain, we live in the front and back yards, and it's not the same when the rain stops , it’s not too late.”

"Xu Fang, don't be picky if I say more, you just care too much about face, you say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, no one cares about big things and small things, even for small things like borrowing money, you are so motivating. "

While speaking, Li Mei had already counted the money in her hand twice, "One hundred yuan is not too much and not too little. I would be surprised if someone else borrowed money. Your family's conditions can be counted in our courtyard." Yes, you just said that you should pay back the money, but you startled me. Not only is Ji Ling filial, she knows how to respect the elderly, but she is also promising, and she got the provincial champion, which is a good thing, can you have two tables in your house?"

   "Ji Yong is not at home, so I can't decide this matter. I have to wait for him to come back to discuss."

  Li Mei laughed, "Your family Ji Yong loves children the most. I dare to bet you on this matter. He will have to make up for it as soon as he gets home."

  Xu Fang smiled and said that she still had to go to work, so she left in the rain.

  Rainwater flowed into the neck through the brim of the hat, Xu Fang couldn't help shivering, and her heart was even colder.

  In her lifetime, the proud Xu Fang never thought that a rural woman like Li Mei could laugh at her even if she couldn't read.

   It was his daughter who caused all this.

   Brave the rain and rush to the department store.

   Manager Wang saw that her hair was wet, and asked her to wipe it off quickly, "Don't catch a cold, the two daughters are counting on you for college, you can't be down these few years."

   Two children go to college, which is indeed a lot of pressure for ordinary families. Even if the school provides subsidies, the family should also provide some subsidies.

   But Ji’s family is different, Ji Yong can earn money, and Xu’s natal family is in good condition. There are two college students, so no matter how stressful it is, it will be sweet.

  Manager Wang was flattering, and Xu Fang would be happy when he heard it, but at this time, he couldn't be happy at all, forced a smile, and walked away by wiping his head.

  Ji Ling didn't go outside on a rainy day. Although Ji Ke was at home, the two sisters didn't communicate with each other. When Xu Fang came back to prepare dinner at night, she didn't call Ji Ling, but Ji Ke called her.

  Xu Fang's face was so grim that she could fall on the dining table, and Ji Ling ate by herself.

  Xu Fang held back all afternoon, and when she saw her eating heartlessly, she became angry.

   "Ji Ling, what happened to the boy who dragged you away this morning?"

  Ji Ling raised her head, "Mom, do you want to fight again?"

   "I just remembered." Xu Fang just wanted to say that you are a man for a while, but it was too much to change his tongue, and changed the sentence.

   Ji Ling thought that your reflexes are quite slow, so she said, "A friend."

"What kind of friend? It doesn't look like a serious person. You should avoid dealing with such people in the future. You have nothing to learn from your sister. You can read books at home. Don't think that you can mess around if you are admitted to university. If you don't study hard in university, you will wait for the assignment." It doesn't work either."

"good."

  Xu Fang: .

   If you want to talk about Xu Fang's feelings at this time, it is that she wants to have a big fight so that the fire in her heart can be vented. As a result, she has set up the stage and the other party has the illusion that she should not fight.

  Ji Ling took a few big gulps to finish the rice in the bowl, and put down the chopsticks, "I'm done."

   After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

  Xu Fang exhaled heavily.

"Mom, let's eat." Ji Ke bit his lip, thought for a while, and picked something Xu Fang liked to hear and said, "Mom, it's going to August right away. I heard that our university notice will arrive on the 5th. Then you Come with me to the city to pick it up."

   "I just asked for leave a few days ago. The unit may not be able to approve it. Let me try." Xu Fang didn't want her little daughter to worry, so she forced a smile.

   One meal was tasteless. The next morning, when Xu Fang went to work, she only left biscuits for the youngest daughter, and the eldest daughter simply didn't even think about it.

  The sky cleared up, Ji Ling planned to go to the brick factory to move bricks today, and saw that there was no food at home in the morning, just in time Ji Ke came out of the east room with biscuits in her hand.

  Ji Ke handed it over without hesitation, "Sister, let's eat this in the morning."

  Ji Ling paused, then refused, "I'm not hungry, I'm going to work first."

   "Sister, are you going to move bricks?"

  Ji Ling strode out of the yard without answering Ji Ke's words.

  In addition to moving bricks, I have no capital right now, so I can only wait for Ji Yong’s father to come back, borrow some capital, and then make money from the money, pay off the debts owed, and save some money by myself.

  Walking all the way to the brick factory, Ji Ling was thinking about something. She didn't look over until someone called her. She saw a man pushing a bicycle standing by the side of the road. Seeing Ji Ling looking over, the other person yelled again.

   "Is it Ji Ling?"

  Ji Ling: Pretending not to know each other? Did you see it the day before yesterday?

  She walked over, walked around, glanced at the bicycle, "What? Is the chain broken again?"

   "It's just you."

  Ji Ling bulged her cheeks.

   After confirming that it was him, Zhu Weidong took out 500 yuan from his pocket, "This is the bonus for reporting clues, you take it."

  Ji Ling showed shock on her face. Five hundred yuan is very important to her, but after struggling, she still looked away.

   "Is this a charity? Or is it compensation for letting me be the bait the day before yesterday? No matter what the reason is, I will not accept this money."

   "You have been looking at it reluctantly, you obviously want it very much, why do you still refuse?"

  Ji Ling: Give me the knife!
