Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 278 IOU?
"If you want it, if you want it, just accept it!"

Xu Lingjun stuffed the money into Hu Meilan's hand and said with a soft smile.

"What a shame!"

Hu Meilan clutched the money in her hand tightly, and said with some embarrassment.

"Mom, it's okay, this is our little wish."

Li Xiuzhi came over, took Hu Meilan's hand, and persuaded with a smile.

"Then that mother won't be polite to you. To tell you the truth, the family is in a hurry to spend money now. You have really helped me a lot this time."

Hu Meilan choked up and said.

"what happened?"

Li Xiuzhi frowned and asked hastily.

Soon, amidst Hu Meilan's rambling narration, Li Xiuzhi and Xu Lingjun both knew the whole story.

"Brother, does that girl know about this?"

Li Xiuzhi turned her head to look at Li Jianguo, and asked with some annoyance.

Li Jianguo was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "Xiaofang, she knows it's useless! Her parents don't agree, what can she do?"

Li Xiuzhi frowned, and immediately wanted to have a good fight with Li Jianguo.

Seeing this, Xu Lingjun hastily stretched out his hand to give Li Xiuzhi a hand, and signaled her not to say more with his eyes.

Li Xiuzhi pursed her lips, and swallowed the words angrily.

Seeing Li Xiuzhi's reaction, Hu Meilan turned her head to look at Li Jianguo, and then hurriedly smiled and said, "Xiuzhi, come on, I'll take you into the room and settle it first, and then Mom will make you your favorite twice-cooked pork later."

"Jianguo, hurry up and buy some pork belly from the supply and marketing cooperative."

As she spoke, she took out money and tickets from her pocket and handed them to Li Jianguo, then pulled Li Xiuzhi and walked towards a small room in the house.

Li Jianguo took the money ticket, and immediately walked out of the house with a sullen head.

Soon, only Xu Lingjun and Li Jianjun were left staring at each other in the room.

"Jianjun, according to your sister, are you in your third year of high school?"

"Ok!"

"How's the grade?"

"good!"

"Which university do you want to go to?"

"have not thought."

"Forehead"

Xu Lingjun looked at Li Jianjun a little depressed, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

Li Jianjun also looked at Xu Lingjun with some embarrassment. He knew that he was not very good at chatting, and he was also called a nerd in class, and the most important thing was that he didn't know Xu Lingjun well.

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps broke the awkward atmosphere.

Xu Lingjun turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a gloomy face walking in.

"Father, sister, brother-in-law and the others are here."

Li Jianjun quickly got up and went forward to meet him and said.

Li Jinmin was taken aback for a moment, and set his eyes on Xu Lingjun.

"Father, my name is Xu Lingjun, and I'm Xiuzhi's husband."

Xu Lingjun immediately got up and introduced himself with a smile.

"Hey, sit down, sit down quickly."

Li Jinmin came back to his senses, squeezed a smile on his face, nodded and said.

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Jianjun, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's your mother?"

"Mom took my sister to put the luggage in the house."

Li Jianjun replied hastily.

"Ok!"

Li Jinmin nodded slowly, then glanced around the room, and asked, "Where's your brother?"

"Mom asked brother to buy meat!"

Li Jianjun replied honestly.

"Then you go to the backyard and pick some peppers."

Li Jinmin frowned, and ordered.

"Hey!"

Li Jianjun agreed and ran out immediately.

Li Jinmin watched Li Jianjun go out, then turned his head to look at Xu Lingjun, his lips twitched, not knowing what to say.

"Father, you smoke!"

Xu Lingjun smiled slightly, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it and handed one over.

Li Jinmin hurriedly reached out to take the cigarette, and then took a closer look, and found that the cigarette was a 4 cents pack of peonies, and he was overjoyed.

You know, he usually only draws five cents a pack of warriors, and a pack of peonies can almost buy a warrior.

"呲~"

Xu Lingjun struck a match and lit a cigarette for Li Jinmin.

As the smoke filled the air, the atmosphere instantly became harmonious.

Li Jinmin took a puff of his cigarette comfortably, and was about to chat with Xu Lingjun, when suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

"father!"

He was slightly taken aback, and turned around hastily, only to see Li Xiuzhi standing at the door of the room with red eyes, he murmured, nodded and agreed, "Hey!"

As he said that, the corners of his eyes were also a little moist.

"Okay, okay, you are also a mother, what do you look like crying."

Hu Meilan wiped her tears with her hand, and said softly.

Li Xiuzhi lowered her head and sniffed, then carried Xu Yiyi to Xu Lingjun's side.

Xu Lingjun sighed secretly, hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to Li Xiuzhi.

Li Xiuzhi took the handkerchief and wiped her tears silently.

Li Jinmin looked at Li Xiuzhi guiltily, not knowing what to say.

It was he who made the decision back then, and he personally sent Li Xiuzhi out of the house.

Although Li Xiuzhi was asked to marry someone, it was actually no different from being kicked out of the house.

Hu Meilan stepped forward quickly, and pulled Li Jinmin out.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Li Jinmin said a little angrily.

"look."

Hu Meilan took out a wad of money from her pocket and handed it over.

"Where did this money come from?"

Li Jinmin asked with wide eyes.

"This is a dowry gift from Xiuzhi's husband. In addition to the 200 yuan, he also bought a lot of things."

Hu Meilan said with a look of relief.

"Nonsense, how can you take this money and return it quickly."

Li Jinmin frowned and shouted sharply.

If Xu Lingjun hadn't taken Li Xiuzhi in back then, where would Li Xiuzhi's life be?How could he have the face to collect this money?
Hu Meilan clutched the money tightly and stood there with a troubled expression on her face.

"Why are you still standing there? Go!"

Li Jinmin urged in a deep voice.

"His father, with this money, Jianguo's marriage will be settled, you"

Hu Meilan said with some confusion.

But before she could finish speaking, Li Jinmin interrupted her angrily.

"If you take this money, how can we hold our heads up in front of Xiuzhi and the others?"

Hu Meilan hastily argued: "They are not outsiders, so at most, they should assume that the money was borrowed from them. This is the head office!"

"Then you write them an IOU."

Li Jinmin's expression changed, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Xiuzhi now."

Hu Meilan nodded helplessly and said.

After speaking, she walked into the room with the money and whispered to Li Xiuzhi.

"No, no, Mom, you can take this money at ease!"

When Li Xiuzhi heard that Hu Meilan wanted to write an IOU, she hurriedly waved her hand and refused.

"Oh, it's not that I don't accept it, it's that your father refuses to accept it!"

Hu Meilan sighed, and said in a dilemma.

In fact, in her heart, after all, she still values ​​her son's marriage more.

Although she also knew that she shouldn't take the money, but for the sake of her son's marriage, she could only have the cheek to take the money.

Who would have thought that Li Jinmin's reaction would be so big, which made her not know what to do for a while.

"It's okay, I'll go tell Dad."

Li Xiuzhi frowned and said in a low voice.

After finishing speaking, she handed Xu Yiyi to Xu Lingjun, and then walked out.
