Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

"Xiao Cao, you know my family's situation. I'm the only one who supports our family of five. We can barely make ends meet!"

"Let alone three hundred yuan, I can't even take out thirty yuan."

Jia Dongxu wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes and started crying poor.

Then his eyes rolled and he had another evil idea.

"Xiao Cao, how about you lend me three hundred yuan to deal with Su Rong first? Don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as I have the money."

Borrowing money from Cao Yue to repay Cao Yue's debt, this guy doesn't want to pay a penny, it's a pity he even thought of doing this.

However, Cao Yue naturally had something to say to him.

"Brother Jia, it's not that I don't want to lend you money, but I don't have a penny on me right now."

"Xiao Cao, you are joking. Not to mention the inheritance your father left you, the factory's pension alone gave you a full 2,000 yuan. How can you be penniless?"

Cao Yue said casually: "Before Su Rong left, she took all the money away. She said she was worried about leaving it in my hands..."

"What? Why are you so stupid!"

Jia Dongxu was furious and said, "Xiao Cao, you have been deceived. How could you give her all the money? This is like throwing meat buns at a dog. It will never come back!"

"Brother Jia, I am doing this all to save you."

Cao Yue sighed and explained, "Su Rong has already thought that I will lend you the money and then ask you to pretend to pay it back to me. If I don't agree to her, she will go to your house immediately."

"I finally persuaded her to give her a few days' grace."

"For me..."

Jia Dongxu was completely dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

"Brother Jia, go back and think of a solution. If you can't get three hundred dollars in a week, no one can save you."

Cao Yue looked at Jia Dongxu pitifully, sighed and shook his head.

"But where can I borrow three hundred dollars?"

Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi are not people who know how to live. With Cao Yue as a sucker, the Jia family has been eating and drinking delicious food and spending money lavishly in the past two months.

Jia Dongxu even often went to the pigeon market outside the city and bought things at high prices.

As for the money borrowed from Cao Yue, the mother and son never thought about paying it back.

According to the saying of later generations, why should you pay back the money you borrowed with your own ability!

Cao Yue also knew the situation of the Jia family and took the initiative to remind them:

"Brother Jia, you have no money, but your master has no money either?"

When Jia Dongxu heard this, his eyes lit up: "You mean..."

"The uncle is an eighth-level fitter in the steel mill, earning 99 yuan a month. He and his wife have no offspring, so you, their apprentice, are no different from their own son."

"You are in trouble now, can he still stand by and watch?"

"Three hundred yuan is a huge sum for others, but for an old man, it's just a drop in the bucket, just three months' salary."

"Yes, yes, you are right. I will go and borrow money from the master right now."

Jia Dongxu had long guessed that Yi Zhonghai accepted him as his apprentice not only because they lived in the same courtyard, but also because he wanted to find someone to take care of the old couple in their old age.

As long as I go to borrow money, Yi Zhonghai will definitely lend it to me.

In the past, Jia Zhang did not agree with this matter, thinking that since her son’s surname was Jia, there was no right for him to take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

Now Jia Dongxu can't care about so many things.

"Brother Jia, don't be impatient. Su Rong said she would give you a week's deadline."

Cao Yue saw Jia Dongxu was about to leave, so he stepped forward to stop him hypocritically:

"I don't drink now. I have some tea at home. It won't be too late for you to go after you have some tea."

"We'll talk about it when I get back."

Jia Dongxu was so anxious that his mouth was about to bubble. How could he have the mood to drink tea? He said something perfunctorily and pushed the door open and ran away in a hurry.

Cao Yue followed him out quietly and saw Jia Dongxu walk from the backyard to the middle yard without looking back. Instead of returning to his own home, he ran straight to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"It's this kind of person who gets scared by just a few words. Really!"

Cao Yue shook his head with a sneer.

I originally had a backup plan, but I didn't expect Jia Dongxu to be such a loser.

"Squeak!"

Just as Cao Yue was about to go home, the door of Xu Damao's house next door opened and a plump young woman walked out.

"Sister Xiao'e, get out!"

While Cao Yue was greeting her, he looked at Lou Xiao'e carefully. The more he looked at her, the more he thought she was quite attractive.

Although she is not beautiful, she is very attractive, with fair skin, a slightly plump figure, and the temperament of a lady from a noble family. She is really a rare good woman.

It’s such a pity to follow Xu Damao.

In the entire courtyard, Lou Xiao'e is the only good person.

It's just that I met the wrong people twice.

The first time was Xu Damao. This guy was a selfish villain who directly betrayed the Lou family for profit.

The second time was stupid.

The two were locked in the house by a deaf old lady, and later they had a child by accident.

After Lou Xiao'e came back from Hong Kong Island, she was sucked dry by the entire courtyard.

Sha Zhu watched all this and allowed Qin Huairu's family to bully Lou Xiao'e. They even treated Lou Xiao'e's hotel as their own home. In the end, he forced Lou Xiao'e to forgive Xu Damao.

What is even more speechless is that their son He Xiao actually turned his back on others and did not help Lou Xiao'e, but instead sided with those beasts.

At that time, the Lou family was bullied by beasts, and Xu Damao almost destroyed the Lou family. However, Lou Xiao'e had to bow her head and forgive those enemies. One can imagine how she felt at that time.

"Xiao Cao, are you going out?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Cao Yue curiously. Cao Yue had never greeted her so enthusiastically before.

Cao Yue smiled and said, "I just went out for a stroll."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, looked at the clothes drying in front of Cao Yue's door, and asked:

"Xiao Cao, is Su Rong back?"

She knew that Su Rong often came back to wash clothes for Cao Yue.

"I'm back. I just left."

Cao Yue had nothing to do when he got home, so he was happy to chat with Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e was kind-hearted. Seeing Cao Yue so enthusiastic, she felt reluctant to leave and started chatting with Cao Yue casually.

"Sister Xiao'e, is Brother Damao going to the countryside to show movies again?"

"He hasn't been home for two days. Who knows what he's been doing?"

Having said that, Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly.

Although she has been married to Xu Damao for just over a year, Lou Xiao'e already regrets it.

Before marriage, I didn't know much about the Xu family. I was just deceived by Xu Damao's sweet words. After marriage, I found out about all the problems of my parents-in-law.

In addition, Lou Xiao'e's belly had not moved for a year, so her parents-in-law urged her to get pregnant every time they met.

Fortunately, the two parties do not live together, otherwise there would definitely be a lot of chaos.

"Brother Damao is very capable. Not everyone can be a movie projectionist. I envy him for being able to go out as he pleases."

Cao Yue praised Xu Damao a few words, and Lou Xiao'e showed joy on her face when she heard it.

Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e has not given up on Xu Damao, and their relationship has not broken down.

Fortunately, I didn’t say anything bad about Xu Damao just now, otherwise Lou Xiao’e would definitely be unhappy.

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "Xiao Cao, you don't have to praise Xu Damao in front of me. You have become a security officer at such a young age, which means you have a bright future."

Cao Yue shook his head and said, "I just inherited my father's influence. I don't have any special abilities."

"Hey, why are you so...humble today?"

Lou Xiao'e tilted her head and looked at Cao Yue with even more curiosity. She felt that Xiao Cao seemed like a different person today. It was an indescribable feeling.

Especially when she met those eyes, when the two looked at each other, she felt like she was being seen through.

Even Cao Yue looked at her with a hint of regret and heartache.
