Chapter 46： Borrowing money

Chapter 46 Borrowing money

"That's fine, now that the family is rich, Erya Jiaojiao can also read and write, and she will become a woman who can read and write in the future."

Liu Zhihua is not a patriarchal person either. Yingniang has been able to read and write, and she is always envious of her in private.

"Hey, look at my brain. Just now I said that I want to return the ox cart, but I forgot what I was talking to you. Old Yang has a bad temper. It's too late and I have to complain a few more times. I'll go first."

Wang Zhuangzhi clapped his hands and went out anxiously.

Liu Zhihua quickly chased him out, stepped forward to stop the head of the house, took a string of loose copper coins from the money bag, handed it to him and said: "The head of the house, you can't let that old man talk about you, and you can give him more when it's too late." With a few copper coins, we can afford an ox cart now that we have silver, so we don’t have to humbly beg others for a loan in the future.”

Wang Zhuangzhi's heart warmed up, his fierce face softened a little, he took the silver and nodded in response: "Okay, listen to your wife."

Liu Zhihua blushed at the gentle lady's voice, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Okay, I'm hungry after a busy day, go early and come back early."

After finishing speaking, Liu Zhihua turned and went back to the room.

Wang Zhuangzhi, a big man covered in sinews, smiled foolishly, and then happily drove away in an ox cart.

In the house,

Jiaojiao held the brochure given by her elder brother curiously to read, and the little white cat behind her came over without knowing when, and went straight into Jiaojiao's arms, meowing.

Erya realized that there was an extra cat in the house. Her eyes lit up, she picked up the kitten to look at it, and asked Jiaojiao with a smile: "Baby, where did you get a little white cat at home?"

Jiaojiao softly told her elder sister about Mu Cheng, Erya was surprised and pouted and said: "Those talkative people in the village joked that our family didn't have any relatives around, so it turns out that my mother has a cousin Brother and aunt, but they borrow money as soon as they come, I don't like such relatives."

The family is so poor that they still come to borrow money.

Jiaojiao scratched her head, blinked her eyes and explained in a waxy voice: "Sister ~ brother Mu Cheng is very pitiful, his mother is sick, and others don't lend him money to see a doctor, mother cried when she heard that."

Erya curled her lips, touched her soaring shofar braid and muttered: "I don't want to lend it to you, so let them do it."

Liu Zhihua heard this when she entered the door, and immediately said to Erya with a serious face: "Thank you, you are still a sister, why are you not as sensible as Jiaojiao, those are your aunt and elder brother, they are so hard-hearted at such a young age, and in the future, your parents will be sick." Do you dislike it too?"

Erya's eyes turned red when she heard that, she got up and retorted loudly: "Mother, you are unreasonable! Our family is so poor, no one lends us money, we worked hard to dig herbs and earned money, what should we do if you lend it to others. "

Liu Zhihua couldn't tolerate a little kid getting angry with her, so she walked over and nodded her forehead, and said angrily: "You rascal, look at your enthusiasm for money, after all, you are the only relative of mother, not those Outsider, you have to change your temper, otherwise no one will want you in the future."

"If you don't want it, you don't want it!"

Erya cried and ran out of the yard.

Jiaojiao put down the cat and chased it out with short legs, "Sister~"

Xiao Li, who was stealing the buns in the corner, heard about it, and hurried out with the buns in his mouth.

Liu Zhi scolded angrily: "You brat, you really can't even talk about it now!"

Erya ran to the dark backyard, stopped and shed tears of grievance.

Because her family is poor, she has never had new clothes and snacks that other people have since she was a child. People laughed.

But Niang said that she is a money fan and no one wants her.

Jiaojiao came chasing after her. It was the first time she saw her sister cry, so she hurriedly hugged her sister's leg and coaxed, "Sister is not angry~ Jiaojiao will give her a lot of money in the future, and she is not afraid of running out of money."

Erya hugged her sister touched when she heard that, feeling more and more wronged, her eyes were red and she choked up sobbing: "Only Guaibao loves my sister."

Xiao Li also ran after her, held her bun and hugged her sister, whispering, "Sister, don't cry."

"Xiao Li is also kind to her sister."

Erya held one in each hand, and she felt relieved after being wronged. She wiped away her tears and led her siblings back to the house.

The three little radish heads poked their heads to see if the mother was in the room, and Liu Zhihua's voice suddenly sounded after taking it.

"Okay, the big meat buns are ready for you, and mother has made egg soup for you, hurry up and eat."

Liu Zhihua entered the house first with the bowl and chopsticks, followed by the three children.

Seeing Erya's red and swollen eyes, Liu Zhihua's heart suddenly softened, and she walked towards her and quietly put her hand in her ear and said, "Mother's talk is serious today, and mother knows that Erya is sensible, but our family is rich now. Your father sold Ganoderma lucidum for dozens of taels, so we can borrow some money from them, and we will build a new house in a few days."

Erya was hiding and didn’t listen at first, but when she heard that she had earned tens of taels of silver and needed to build a house, her eyes lit up, she looked up at her mother and asked, “Really?”

Liu Zhihua touched her shofar braid with a smile, "What mother lied to you is true, hurry up and eat big meat buns."

"That's great." Erya's dark face was full of excitement, and the feelings of grievance and sadness just now were swept away, and she smiled and dragged her younger siblings to eat.

Jiaojiao and Xiaoli were at a loss, but their sister laughed and they were happy too. The three children happily ate big meat buns.

…

After dinner, Liu Zhihua washes Jiaojiao up, and puts Shangkang to sleep.

Jiaojiao hugged the kitten, remembering that she was going to use the spiritual power for Bai Miaomiao tonight, and she was afraid that her parents would find out, so she acted like a baby and went to sleep with her sister and Xiao Likang.

No matter what Liu Zhihua said, it didn't work, and finally carried him to Erya's hut. After he settled down, he surrounded him with a few pillows, and gave Erya and Xiao Li some good advice before leaving.

The sky is getting late, and the moon is very round in the dark night sky outside the window.

Erya and Xiao Li are already fast asleep.

Bai Miaomiao urged anxiously, Jiaojiao hurriedly crawled out of the bed with light movements, put on her clothes and quietly came out of the room.

By taking advantage of the moonlight, Jiaojiao took short steps to the place where the moonlight was brightest in the center of the yard, holding the egg in her hand and applying spiritual power to the moonlight.

After a short while, a white light flashed on the egg, and after the light disappeared, there were several crack marks on the eggshell.

Jiaojiao held the egg and called softly: "Meow?"

Dan was silent, and at the same time the little white cat ran out of the room, meowing a few times.

Jiaojiao turned her head in fright, and whispered to the kitten, "Bai Miaomiao, my parents will find out if you speak so loudly."

Bai Miaomiao walked over with graceful catwalks, came to Jiaojiao, stretched her limbs lazily, and continued to speak: "Don't worry Jiaojiao, only you can hear what I say, and others can hear it." It's just a meow."

"Master, why did I hear that cat meowing, did Jiaojiao wake up..."

There was a sound of movement from the parents' room, and Jiaojiao was so frightened that she picked up Bai Miaomiao and ran into the house.
