Chapter 148 Borrowing Money
"You kid, what are you doing standing at the door when you get home? There is something wrong with your brain!"

Seeing where Su Jianye was standing stupidly, the woman opened her mouth to teach her a lesson before she got close.

"mom"

Seeing someone coming, Su Jianye, who was a child, called out.

Unexpectedly, this guy looks like a grumpy old man when he grows up, but when he was a child, he sounded like a baby.

Looking at the scene in front of him with some interest, Tang Xiaokang looked at Su Jianye's mother.

In the past ninety years, Su Jianye's mother was not that old, at most 30 years old. She was holding a basket in her hand and looked like she had just come back from the vegetable field.

"Mom, the school is urging me to pay the tuition."

The voice was a little low, Su Jianye said to his mother, and lowered his head.

In fact, the school has urged him several times in a row. Today, his class teacher asked him to stay for a thorough discussion. He had to tell the matter. According to the school's intention, he would not pay this year's tuition in another week. You can only drop out of school.

He didn't dare to see his mother, Su Jianye knew that this incident made the family very embarrassed, but he still wanted to speak out, he didn't want to be expelled from school.

The expression on her face suddenly froze. After hearing Su Jianye's words, her mother stood there in a daze, and then forced a laugh.

"The school has already urged, can you still procrastinate? The family really can't afford the money now."

"The head teacher asked me to stay today and said that if I don't pay the tuition within a week, I will have no choice but to drop out of school."

He lowered his head and said sullenly, Su Jianye's words stiffened the forced smile on his mother's face.

But he still patted Su Jianye on the shoulder pretending to be relaxed.

"Don't think about it. I'll tell you later, Dad, let's see if I can come up with some money and let you pay the tuition in two days."

With that said, she walked into the house facing Su Jianye.

Tang Xiaokang also followed in. The floor of the house is covered with cobblestones mixed with cement. It looks a little better than the muddy floor outside, but it is a bit uneven. .

There is an old-fashioned clay stove with a lot of dry firewood behind it. In the hall, there is a square table, four stools, a table, and a cupboard, and nothing else can be seen.

There were quite a few baskets hanging on the beam above his head, and Tang Xiaokang saw that there were a lot of soybeans in them, and they were held in red plastic bags.

Back home, Su Jianye remained silent, took out his schoolbag and walked into the room silently.

A box of narrow, black and long corridors separates two rooms, with a partition wall separated by door panels.

Following Su Jianye into the room, the other party sat silently in the room doing homework. The lights at home were not bright enough. If he could not finish writing before dark, it would be even more difficult to write at night.

Standing in the room, Tang Xiaokang heard Su Jianye's father coming back from outside.

It didn't take long for the two to discuss tuition fees.

"500 yuan, where do I get this 500 yuan? There are only three hundred yuan in the house, and I will give it all to that kid. There will be no food at home!"

Su Jianye's father spoke very loudly, and with the partition wall made of wood, don't expect the sound insulation effect. The hall is normal, and Tang Xiaokang in the room can hear it clearly.

"Then we can't stop Jianye from going to school, why don't you go to the elder brother's house and ask?"

Su Jianye's mother kept persuading the other party. Although she had no knowledge, she was the only child in the family who could study, and she still hoped that he could continue to study.

"Their family can't open the pot. How can I speak up? When I go to their house, their family is worried about eating. They rely on the money sent back by my eldest nephew to work outside. How can I open this mouth to others."

"Then think of a way. I'll ask Jianye's uncle. You can go to another house and ask. Don't take it with you. Before it's dark, hurry up and ask."

There was a sound of pushing and shoving, and Su Jianye's father was confronted by his mother like this. The departure of the two of them seemed to have no effect on Su Jianye. The other party was still silent, sitting there doing homework.

The light outside became weaker and weaker, and a playful sound came from outside the house.

"Ruppy ghost, are you at home!"

It was also a child's voice. The moment he heard this voice, Tang Xiaokang could feel Su Jianye's whole body tense up.

The fingers gripped the pen tighter.

"The rascal must have been scolded by the teacher for not paying the tuition again."

"That's for sure, who doesn't know that he is a big rascal, and the whole family is a rascal. Hahaha..."

"Su Jianye, rascal, rascal, Su Jianye, Su Jianye rascal, rascal Su Jianye, yo~, Su Jianye is a rascal!"

A group of little ghosts laughed and yelled and left. Su Jianye didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He did his homework silently, tears dripping down on the books.

There was no sobbing, nor any other noises, only the friction of pencils writing on the homework book, and the movement of Su Jianye wiping tears.

The sky was completely dark, and Su Jianye had finished his homework.

Walking out of the room, Su Jianye lit the stove and boiled the cooked rice on it.

Not long after, Su Jianye's parents returned home again.

"I asked Uncle Jianye for fifty yuan each, a total of 100 yuan. How much did you borrow?"

"Here, 400 yuan."

"Why are there so many? Who did you borrow?"

After receiving four hundred-yuan bills brought by Su Jianye's father, Su Jianye's mother put them together with the [-] and [-] yuan bills in her hand.

"If you can ask something, ask the foreman. The only one in the village who can lend so much money is the foreman, except for the village chief's family."

Said with a complaining face, Su Jianye's father sat outside the door smoking a cigarette silently.

"Why is your foreman willing to pay? Isn't he always stingy?"

"I promised him that I would help him catch fish tomorrow."

"How can I do that? The reservoir in their house is so dangerous. Didn't the second son get electrocuted for helping him catch fish! How dare he ask someone to catch fish?!"

"There is no need to dare to earn money. It has nothing to do with him if the second son dies. The second son used the power grid to catch fish by himself, so he doesn't have to pay for it."

Hearing this, Su Jianye's mother became silent.

"Can't you not go?"

He sniffed the other party cautiously. Two people had already died in the matter of netting fish in the reservoir, and there was no one in the village willing to do it.

"Can I not go if I have all the money? At worst, I just don't need the power grid."

"It won't work without a power grid. The reservoir is so deep, you can't go into the water to fish it out. There is a bath of water underneath, and you can't swim at all. What will happen if you drown."

She said with a worried look on her face, she never thought that borrowing money would lead to such a thing.

"MD, isn't it because of this little bastard, a prodigal, who knows to ask the family for money all day long, if it is not for him, I would take this risk!"
