Yang Huamei was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head in even more shame. Her muffled voice, which was very unconfident, passed into Yang Huazhong's ears:

"Our family has done this together. We will go back to Dabai to urge him on this matter. No matter what happens to him, our family will try our best to pay back the money. There is no way we can default on the debt..."

Only then did Yang Huazhong finally put down his bowl and raised his eyes to look at her seriously.

"It's rare that you have such self-awareness and dare to say something in front of me. I am very pleased."

"Qing'er and I are not in a hurry for the money, it's mainly for your fourth brother and fifth brother. No matter what you do, you have to pay it back before the end of the year. When the third girl gets married in the twelfth lunar month, you have to spend money on the fourth house. Your fourth brother

Fourth sister-in-law has been talking about this to me and your third sister-in-law several times."

Yang Huamei's face turned red.

Mrs. Tan pursed her lips. She originally wanted to scold the fourth wife, but when she heard that it was about the third girl spending money on her wedding, she held back.

"As for Wufang, although your fifth brother and fifth aunt have never mentioned this matter, Wufang has a baby, which means there is an extra mouth to eat. What's more, Mianmian will also prepare a dowry next year, and Wufang has also been preparing for it in recent years.

When they spend a lot of money, give them priority to pay back their money if you can."

Yang Huamei's face turned red as if it had been roasted by fire, but she still nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, Third Brother, and Qing'er for your understanding. I'm well aware of this matter."

After finishing the remaining half of the steamed bun, Yang Huamei hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Sun stopped her and picked up ten salted duck eggs and twenty raw eggs for her to take back. "You had a headache a few days ago and I didn't go to visit you for fear of burdening you. You can take these eggs back to replenish your health."

.”

"Third sister-in-law, this is impossible..."

"Nothing, just a few eggs."

"Since your third sister-in-law gave it to you, just take it. I still have two kilograms of old brown sugar in the house. You can also take it with you. When you get up every morning, crack four poached eggs into a bowl of brown sugar water and put a few slices of old ginger and red dates."

, I guarantee that if you drink it for ten days or so, your headache will be much better, I have experience." Mrs. Tan said with a click of her lips.

Yang Huamei was moved in her heart, but her smile was bitter.

Four poached eggs a day was nothing to my old self.

Now that I heard it, I was really frightened. Such a life is too luxurious...

"Thank you mother, thank you third sister-in-law, then I will go back first."

Yang Huamei returned to Lao Wang's house with her things. Wang Hongquan had already cooked breakfast and was standing at the door of the yard looking around.

Wang Shuanzi was sweeping the floor in the yard.

These days, father and son have done all the housework and don't let Yang Huamei touch it.

Seeing Yang Huamei coming, Wang Hongquan turned and said to Wang Shuanzi: "Mei'er is back, it's time to start dinner."

Wang Shuanzi nodded.

After Yang Huamei entered the yard, she said to them: "I have eaten. Dad and Shuanzi, please eat. I have something to discuss with you."

On the breakfast table, the father and son had two bowls of thin corn porridge, with a bowl of pickled cabbage and mustard in the middle, and a small bowl of radish on the side.

Yang Huamei first took out the brown sugar and eggs given by Tan and Sun, and then talked about the debt that Yang Huazhong said.

Wang Hongquan had no intention of eating breakfast now, and sat there sighing.

Yang Huamei shifted her gaze from Wang Hong to Wang Shuanzi, her eyes were sad, yet filled with a hint of expectation.

Although the man in front of her is sickly and fragile, he can always be her backbone at critical moments.

Even though she is always so happy, she gets into trouble at critical moments.

After a short silence, Wang Shuanzi finally spoke up, "For Third Brother to be able to say this, he is really tolerant of us and thinks of us sincerely."

Yang Huamei nodded, "He said that he and Qing'er's part of the money should not be urgent, and let us give priority to the fourth and fifth brothers."

After a pause, Yang Huamei continued: "I think it's better for the fifth brother to say that the most difficult thing to deal with is the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law. Especially since the third girl is getting married within the year, we should pay back the money earlier."

The fourth and fifth bedrooms each owe five taels of silver, the third bedroom owes ten taels, and Qing'er owes twenty taels...

"Then let's pay it back to Fourth Brother first." Wang Shuanzi said again.

"Where does the money come from?" Wang Hongquan asked Wang Shuanzi with squinting eyes, biting the tobacco stick.

Wang Shuanzi thought for a moment and then said: "Last month, my monthly salary has been saved there and has not been touched. Counting the two months of monthly salary left in the year, there are three months in total, which is more than four taels when put together."

"We can first take out three taels of silver and return it to the fourth house, and the remaining one or two taels of silver to the fifth house, and some to both houses, to hold their hearts and let them know that we have not forgotten this matter."

"Then what are we going to do during the Chinese New Year? Xiaohei has to go home and visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, so he has to buy some New Year things, right? And your medicine money..." Wang Hongquan asked in surprise.

Wang Shuanzi smiled and said, "The monthly money in December is enough. Moreover, according to the rules of the school in previous years, in addition to the monthly money, there will be additional red envelopes during the year. The red envelopes will contain at least one or two silver coins to cope with the New Year period.

We have spent enough on everything, but the premise is that we all need to streamline things.”

Wang Hongquan nodded, "We have enough rice and rapeseed oil at home. Mei'er has taken good care of the vegetable garden, and there are cabbages and radishes. After a while, they will drain the pond water, and I will take the opportunity to touch more."

Order some lotus roots and come back to make preparations, as long as you can handle it."

Yang Huamei's eyes also shone brightly, "The chickens in the backyard can be slaughtered for the New Year in another two months, and relatives can add some dishes when they come over."

Wang Shuanzi pointed his finger at the table: "Speaking of chickens, I have to remind you that no matter whether Dabai or Xiaohei comes home during this period, you are not allowed to kill the chickens. They will eat whatever we eat. This

The plan cannot be messed up!”

Yang Huamei nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I know it. No matter what they do, I won't be soft-hearted!"

Wang Shuanzi felt relieved.

"Our family will first help Dabai deal with this issue within the year. After a while, my father and I will go to the town to find Dabai and urge him to arrange the money for the third brother and Qing'er as soon as possible. If the debt is not repaid,

That’s the old guy. Our abilities are limited and we can’t help much. He has to pay back the bulk of it himself!”

"Shuanzi, are you going to the town to look for him too? I'm worried..." Yang Huamei hesitated, but she really didn't dare to go to the town now, and there was a shadow.

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that that boy will beat me?" Wang Shuanzi asked.

He covered his mouth and coughed twice, a sickly flush appearing on his pale face.

"Don't worry, I won't quarrel with him, let alone fight with him. No matter how sick I am, I am still his biological father. He has my blood in his bones. I can suppress him just by relying on this. Don't worry.

Got it!"
