Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Hearing this soft voice, Li Muhua sat up and asked suspiciously: "Qin Huairu, what is she doing here so late?"

Li Muhua was confused. The Jia family had just been severely punished, causing Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu to bleed so much. Shouldn't she be hiding at home wiping her tears at this time?

Otherwise it would be normal for them to fight with Jia Zhang, but why would it come from home?

Could it be that she didn't want to pay for the food and came to beg for mercy? Li Muhua thought about it and guessed.

Thinking of this possibility, Li Muhua quickly climbed up from the kang, put on his coat and shoes, and ran to the door in a hurry.

The night was long and quiet, and since there was something lively going on next door, he had to go and join in the fun no matter what.

"Little brother, where are you going?" Li Qinghua heard the noise, turned around and asked Li Muhua who was hurriedly getting dressed.

"Aunt Qin is knocking on our door. I'll go check." Li Muhua responded to Li Qinghua and rushed out of the house without looking back.

When Li Qinghua heard that there was something exciting to watch, he immediately stood up and wanted to go out to see what was going on. However, Li Aihua yelled at him, "You forgot what you just said, didn't you?"

"If you can't even get into high school next year, will you be able to hold your head up in front of your third sister and younger brother? I think they will definitely be able to get into high school!"

Li Aihua's long string of questions made Li Qinghua pause. He looked at the table in front of him hesitantly, then sat back in his chair angrily.

"I just don't believe it. I'm the only one in my family who can't get into high school..."

As soon as Li Muhua rushed out of the door, he saw Qin Huairu being welcomed into the house by Xu Yan. Li Muhua quickened his pace and squeezed in behind her.

"Little one, why did you follow me?"

Seeing that his mother Xu Yan asked about him first, Li Muhua looked at the cabinet in front of the hall, walked over and explained: "I didn't follow you, but there was no water in our house, so I just came here to drink some water!"

As Li Muhua spoke, he walked to the counter and poured himself a glass of water under the gaze of the two people. Then he sat down at the table and blew into the steaming cup of water.

"Hu~~"

It looks like you don’t have to care about me or bother with me, just talk about business!

Seeing that Li Muhua sat down and had no intention of leaving, Qin Huairu thought about her purpose of coming and looked at Xu Yan with pleading eyes.

Xu Yan pretended not to understand what she meant, pulled Qin Huairu to sit down and said, "Huairu, if you have something to say, just tell me. Why did you wake me up so late at night?"

"this--"

Qin Huairu looked at Li Muhua with some concern, and then as if she had made up her mind, tears rolled down her already red eyes.

She covered her face and wiped her tears, crying, "Sister Yan, you also know our family's situation. If it weren't for the help from you neighbors, we would have been unable to make ends meet!"

"Woooooo~~"

Having said this, Qin Huairu seemed unable to control her emotions and started crying even louder.

Xu Yan couldn't help but frown. Seeing that Qin Huairu came with ill intentions, she quickly winked at Li Muhua, hoping that he would make a fuss so that she could take the opportunity to escape.

Li Muhua turned a deaf ear to her mother Xu Yan's expression and continued to look at Qin Huairu quietly, listening to her crying and complaining.

I want to hear what her plan is.

"Director Wang has asked our family to pay so much grain in one go tomorrow. I calculated that I have to buy 263 kilograms of flour alone. Sister Yan, you know the price of flour on the black market now. It's at least cents per kilogram!"

"Just buying this flour costs our family 140 to 50 yuan, plus other food ration tickets, it will cost at least another 200 yuan."

"Leaving aside my mother-in-law's private savings of less than 200 yuan, where do you think I can get the remaining 200 yuan?"

Qin Huairu sobbed even louder as she spoke.

Hearing the huge sum of two hundred yuan, Li Muhua was shocked. She thought Qin Huairu came to borrow money from her family, so she quickly gave her some advice:

"Aunt Qin, our family doesn't have that much money, let alone two hundred yuan. Last time, several of my sons and daughters took turns to ask my mother for a dime and it took a long time."

"You have to go and borrow that much money from Uncle Yi. His monthly salary is more than 100 yuan. It's not like we have four debt collectors in our family, so we have too much money to spend every month."

"I calculated it for him last time. His family has at least 30,000 or 40,000 yuan in savings. He can definitely lend you 200 yuan. This is just a tiny drop in the ocean!"

When talking about thirty or forty thousand yuan, Li Muhua's eyes lit up and he looked very serious. Qin Huairu was stunned.

First of all, she wasn't here to borrow money. Besides, how could the Yi family have 30,000 or 40,000 yuan? How did Li Muhua, that little bastard, figure that out?

Even in math, his family's good students are not as good as him, but the neighbors in the yard praise him for his good study all day long. It seems that most of the neighbors are just using this opportunity to flatter the Li family.

Qin Huairu turned her thoughts back to the main topic and continued to cry, "Sister Yan, two hundred yuan, if I really asked Uncle Yi to borrow this money, according to my monthly salary of more than 20 yuan, I would have to pay it back for a year even if I didn't eat or drink. If I ate and drank, I would not be able to pay it back for several years!

Do you think I can ask Master Yi for a loan?" Qin Huairu said as she wiped her tears with her sleeves and looked at Xu Yan, waiting for her answer.

Seeing her behavior, Xu Yan could only nod and say, "Huai Ru, don't be like this..."

Before Xu Yan finished speaking, Li Muhua stood up and said, "It's just over 200 yuan, why would you have to pay it back in a few years?

"I heard from Aunt Jia that in a few years Banggeng will be a high-ranking official, and by then she will have to replace all the statues in Baiyun Temple with gold ones. What is two hundred yuan? It's just a hair on ninety cows!"

"When the time comes, as long as Bang Geng is willing, the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in Uncle Yi's house will be used to honor him."

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this. Xu Yan interrupted her and asked, "Little one, didn't you just say that Master Yi only had 30,000 or 40,000 yuan at home? How come there is still 40,000 or 50,000 yuan left after lending money to Huairu?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muhua said arrogantly, "You are so stupid. It will take a few more years for Banggeng to become a high-ranking official. In these few years, Master Yi can earn more than 10,000 yuan!"

"Fourth child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Yan was immediately annoyed when she heard it: "According to what you said, Uncle Yi's family doesn't need to eat or drink every month, and it's all saved for Banggeng, right?"

"Besides, how can we save 100 yuan every month?"

After saying this, Xu Yan thought about the Yi family's poor life and started to do mental arithmetic.

"But the Yi family really doesn't spend much money on food and drink, and they don't buy big items like radios, sewing machines, and bicycles. Even if they can't save 100 yuan a month, I'm afraid they can't save less than 90 yuan!"

"90 a month, more than a thousand a year, more than ten thousand in ten years!" After calculating this, Xu Yan couldn't help but look at Li Muhua in surprise.

"Little one, you really didn't make a mistake."

"Of course. How could I make a mistake in calculating money? I was taught math by an uncle!" Li Muhua agreed proudly.
