Chapter 117: Borrowing Money to Support My Mother's Family

Two days later, Lu Jiaxin was reading English in the house. The fat lady from the store came to ask her to answer the phone. When she asked, she found out that it was Lu Jiajie who called.

In the past month, Lu Jiajie called her every now and then to talk about the production quantity and family matters. So she didn't think much about it. When she answered the phone, she also asked how many shoes were produced in the second batch. The first batch of 10,000 pairs had been delivered in early December, and the remaining 10,000 pairs were being made overtime.

It was almost New Year's Day, and the shoes she produced were not sold in Sijiu City. It can be seen that Su Heyuan had the same idea as her, preparing to stock up first and then sell them all at once.

Lu Jiajie said: "Ten thousand pairs of shoes were delivered today, and the rest are still being worked overtime. Jiaxin, what did your fifth sister-in-law do to make you so angry?"

Lu Jiaxin's heart skipped a beat. Did her eldest brother tell her? But on second thought, he felt that it was not the case. His eldest brother was not that kind of person. She did not sugarcoat the truth and said, "You should not ask me this, you should ask the fifth sister-in-law."

Lu Jiajie said, "I just called and asked her, she said she didn't quarrel with you. Xinxin, what happened, don't hide it for her."

Lu Jiaxin did not ask who told him about this, there was no need: "I have nothing to say, you ask the fifth sister-in-law! I have something else to do, so I won't tell you."

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Lu Jiajie knew Lu Jiaxin's personality very well. She would not care about trivial matters, and she was even more generous with money. It must be a big deal to make her so angry that she didn't even want to help move.

Thinking of this, he immediately called Lu Jiaguang, and as soon as the call was connected, he asked what the conflict between the two sisters-in-law was.

Lu Jiaguang disdains to lie. He directly stated that he knew the reason, but he would not tell him: "I promised Jiaxin not to tell you about this."

Lu Jiajie was almost dying of anxiety: "Brother, what's going on?"

Lu Jiaguang naturally would not say: "Since I promised Lu Jiaxin not to tell you, I can't break my promise. Don't you know a lot of friends? Ask your friends to find out."

"What to find out?"

Lu Jiaguang scolded: "Don't you use your brain to find out something? I have told you many times to think before speaking and doing things, but you never listened to these words and treated them as wind in your ears."

Before Lu Jiajie could speak, there was a beeping sound from the other side of the phone. He became irritated after hanging up the phone. Even his elder brother was angry. This matter was more serious than expected.

After thinking for a long time, he found Ale: "Call and ask Auntie if there is anything wrong with my wife recently."

The reason why Ale was asked to call his mother was because Ale's mother was well-informed. If his wife did something inappropriate, she would definitely hear about it.

It turns out that Lu Jiajie's method is correct. As soon as the phone call was made, Ale's mother said that Ma Lili had borrowed money from someone a few days ago.

Ale's mother said in confusion: "She told people that she had spent all the money on buying a house and had no money to buy furniture, bedding, pots and pans. But as far as I know, she seemed to have borrowed one or two thousand."

Buying a house empties the family's savings and has no money to buy furniture and bedding. This is also a common thing, but it doesn't cost that much money. She also planned for her son to call back and tell him about it.

After hanging up the phone, Ah Le asked in confusion: "Ah Jie, didn't you say that your sister took the initiative to borrow money to pay for the house? The amount of money borrowed was just enough to buy furniture and daily necessities. Why is my sister-in-law borrowing money from others to buy bedding and other small things now?"

Lu Jiajie calculated the family's accounts: "Including the money borrowed by my eldest brother and third uncle, my family has a deposit of 4,000. In order to buy a house, Jia Xin gave my salary and bonus to my wife in advance, and then borrowed another 2,000. The house we bought cost 8,600, and there was 400 left after the purchase. I told my wife not to buy furniture first, just buy daily necessities first, 400 yuan is enough, no need to borrow from others."

After listening, Ah Le couldn't understand: "Why did my sister-in-law borrow money? It can't be your third uncle or eldest brother who is asking for a debt?"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Lu Jiajie was a little panicked when he heard this: "Ah Le, please ask Auntie to help me find out if my father-in-law, mother-in-law or Yan Fang have any money recently?"

Ah, A Le said: "You mean your wife lent money to her parents? No way, you owe so much foreign debt to buy a house, how could your sister-in-law borrow money to help her parents."

Lu Jiajie's face sank: "Except for this reason, I can't think of what she borrowed money for, and she didn't tell me."

A Le thought Ma Lili would not be so confused, but he still called.

The next day, A Le's mother told him that the Ma couple bought a big house for their newly adopted grandson, and the house cost 6,800.

A Le didn't know how to talk to Lu Jiajie. If any of the brothers and sisters encounter difficulties, others can help them if they have the ability. But how can someone like Ma Lili do that? She still owes so much debt to her parents' house and doesn't know when she can pay it off. How can she still owe such a large debt to buy a house for her parents? How can she live like this?

When Lu Jiajie found out, he was furious and wanted to call Ma Lili to question her. But when he thought of Lu Jiaguang's words, he put the phone down again.

Ah Le was very confused and asked, "It's wrong for your wife to borrow money from others to support her family, but this matter doesn't affect your sister and your elder brother, why are they angry?"

Even if Ma Lili went out to borrow money, it was Lu Jiajie who paid it back, and it had nothing to do with them. Is she afraid of borrowing money from them? This doesn't make sense. She had taken the initiative to lend money to Ajie to buy a house before!

Lu Jiajie thought about it and called Lu Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, did your fifth sister-in-law borrow money from you a few days ago?"

Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised: "How did you know?"

Lu Jiajie was about to explode. He actually asked Jiaxin for money. How could she ask for that? After a long time, he calmed down: "It was Ah Le who called. Her mother said that your fifth sister-in-law borrowed money everywhere a few days ago. Ah Le felt strange and told me."

Lu Jiaxin was silent. She didn't expect Ma Lili to lend money to her parents' home in the end. She was really filial. She just complained in her heart and didn't express her opinion to Lu Jiajie: "We have only delivered 10,000 pairs of shoes. There are still 10,000 pairs of shoes that need to be completed overtime before the New Year. If you come back now, no one will be watching and you can't deliver on time if something goes wrong. Then I will have to pay for it."

I wanted her to come back to solve this matter before, but now I think it's useless for Lu Jiajie to come back. The money has been borrowed, and coming back will only delay her business.

Lu Jiajie said depressedly: "Xinxin, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing right away."

"Why didn't I tell you? Don't you know what's going on?"

Lu Jiajie was a little confused. It seemed that the problem was with him, but he didn't know where he was wrong after thinking about it.

Lu Jiaxin was too lazy to wait and said: "If you don't know, think about it carefully. Call me when you figure it out."
