After writing it, he also found a seal to put on it. "Brother Zhuzi, I want to borrow 180 yuan from you. I will pay you back 15 yuan on the 15th of every month, plus 150 yuan per month as interest. I will pay it back in one year. Do you think it is feasible?" Yan Jiecheng immediately asked worriedly, handing the IOU to He Yuzhu as he spoke.

"You don't have to pay interest. Just rewrite it and indicate that you have to pay fifteen yuan on the fifteenth of every month. Remember to come to my house to get the money later, but don't create a conflict with Uncle Three again. Besides, go see your mother quickly. I see that the wound on her hand is still bleeding." He Yuzhu reminded him and then handed him the notebook.

"Okay, okay, I'll go take care of my mother now and come to find you later." Seeing his mother injured, Yan Jiecheng was very concerned and quickly agreed.

Here, they were still talking and chatting at Uncle San's house.

Just as he was about to go out to check on the third aunt, Yan Jiecheng saw Wang Qian supporting the third aunt in, with her wound bandaged.

"Mom, are you okay?" Yan Jiecheng asked hurriedly, with a caring look on his face.

The third aunt snorted coldly and turned her head away from him.

Wang Qian looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Husband, I just took Auntie San home to treat her wounds. Fortunately, they were not that serious and no broken glass was found."

"Thank you for your hard work." He Yuzhu thanked him gently, then turned to the third uncle and Yan Jiecheng and said, "Let's leave it at that for now, and stop arguing. Wang Qian and I are going to go back first, and when the family is settled, Jiecheng will come to my house to get the money."

"Thank you." The two uncles and three aunts responded.

"Sister Wang Qian, I'll be there right away." Yan Jiecheng said.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't be polite. We are all neighbors. It would be awkward to say these things." Then he took Wang Qian's arm and left Yu's house.

Riding their bicycles, the couple returned to the compound. After unlocking the bicycle and parking it properly, He Yuzhu was about to start cooking when he saw the old man and his wife come in.

"Zhuzi, Xixi, our aunt went to the market to get a chicken for you. The rice is also cooked and is waiting for you at the old lady's place in the backyard. You just came back and you certainly don't have time to cook for yourselves. Come and celebrate the New Year's Eve with us." The old man said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, you two usually like to eat white rice, so I bought two more kilograms of rice. Let's stew a pot of hot pot together." The aunt was also persuading.

Wang Qian was a little embarrassed, but He Yuzhu put down the kitchen knife in his hand cheerfully: "Good idea, I am happy to save myself the trouble. Come on, wife, let's go to the backyard to eat."

"Thank you, uncle and aunt." Wang Qian said gratefully with a smile.

"You're welcome. I'm very happy to have this opportunity. Let's go!" The old lady pulled Wang Qian out of the house.

He Yuzhu took out a bottle of Xifeng wine from the cupboard and said to the old man with a smile: "Today is the New Year's Eve, how about a little wine?"

"Whatever, anything is fine, let's go." The old man agreed immediately.

Before he could lock the door, he saw Yan Jiecheng coming with the IOU. "Brother, are you going out?" he asked a little embarrassedly.

"Well, the old man and his wife took the initiative to invite us to the backyard to accompany the old lady to eat New Year's Eve dinner. We came back late and didn't want to cook, so we accompanied the old man to have a few drinks." He Yuzhu replied. Then he opened the door, and when the drawer was opened, he quickly took out 18 -yuan bills from his personal space and put them into the box.

He Yuzhu closed the drawer, put away the cash, took the IOU, checked it, and handed it to Yan Jiecheng. "Here is 180 yuan, count it, right?" he said.

The honest Yan Jiecheng really counted the money carefully in front of the two of them, and after confirming it, he smiled and said, "It's exactly one hundred and eighty, brother, I will return it to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, take your time with your work. I won't force you to go with me. After all, I'm just here for a free meal today." He Yuzhu said jokingly with a smile.

"Haha, I won't bother you anymore, thank you brother. I'll go back first, goodbye, uncle." Yan Jiecheng immediately said goodbye and left.

After Yan Jiecheng left, He Yuzhu closed the door again, then smiled at an old man beside him and said, "So, shall we set off now?"

"lets go."

Not long after, Lou Xiao'e was no longer in the old lady's residence in the backyard. Five people were sitting around the fire, enjoying a hot chicken hotpot.

After a few drinks, the old man smiled and asked, "Zhu Zi, why did you borrow so much money from Yan Jiecheng just now?"

Hearing this question, He Yuzhu sighed and told the whole story about the sudden incident that happened in the Third Uncle's house.

After hearing this, the old man and his wife couldn't help but sigh: "A penny can often crush a hero. It's not easy for the third uncle and his men either."

"That's true. Yan Jiecheng was forced to buy a bicycle by his mother-in-law because of some harsh words she said. He ignored the actual situation at home, and it's not easy for him to eat and drink well for so many years." The old man also expressed his thoughts.

Only the hearing-impaired old lady at the side smiled and said, "Zhuzi did the right thing. The New Year is coming soon, and it's not right to leave the yard in a mess. It never hurts to help others. And our eldest grandson has done well. Not only does he make money, but he is also one of the best in the village in the most important matter of finding a daughter-in-law. If you had told me this time last year, I would have never believed that you would marry such an outstanding daughter-in-law like Wang Qian."

"Haha, my mother-in-law is right. Not only last year, but even three months ago, I couldn't have imagined that I would be able to marry such a good wife." He Yuzhu laughed and responded to Wang Qian and the smiling old lady.

"Haha, you guy." Hearing that his words resonated with the old man, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing the other three people looking at her, Wang Qian blushed and said, "Grandma, Brother Zhuzi is really good."

"Oh, granddaughter-in-law, what you said is wrong. Now he is capable; in the past, he was a fool. He didn't even know that he was being played around by others. He thought he was the second best in the world. I wish I could use my cane to wake this kid up!" The deaf-mute old lady smiled and reproached without any hesitation, but her words were full of love.

He Yuzhu quickly picked up a piece of chicken for the deaf-mute old lady, and said helplessly: "Grandma, eat more meat and less talk. If you really scare my wife away, I will be really angry with you."

"Okay, I won't say anymore." The deaf-mute old lady knew what to do and immediately covered her mouth with her hands and smiled to show that she was done.

Seeing this scene, the old man and his wife laughed along, and the atmosphere was harmonious and happy. Soon, except for the two of them who were still drinking and having fun, everyone else finished eating and drinking. Afterwards, Wang Qian revealed to the old man and his wife: "Grandpa and aunt, Brother Zhuzi and I have already discussed it. From now on, we will take care of you in your old age together. We are considered a real family."

"Ah!" The silence in the room was broken by the sudden tension, and the wine glass accidentally fell from the old man's hand.

"Wang Qian, what are you talking about?" the old man and his wife asked in surprise and doubt.

"My husband and I have decided to support you two in the future and become real family members. This is my wish." Wang Qian reiterated with a smile on her face.

After confirming the answer, He Yihai and the old lady looked at He Yuzhu who was sitting next to them, expecting his answer. He Yuzhu quickly took over the topic and said with a smile: "Two elders, don't just look at me. This matter is decided by my wife, and what she says is what it is!"

The deaf-mute old lady smiled with relief and said, "Great, Zhonghai, Auntie, your future is promising."

The old lady was very excited when she heard this: "Zhu Zi and Wang Qian promised to take care of us in our old age." As she spoke this, tears streamed down her face.

"I heard it, I heard it. From now on, there will be someone to take care of us old couple. Haha, bring another cup. I'm happy today, I'll drink a few more cups with Zhuzi!" an old man said excitedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it right away. Great, great!" the other party agreed.

In the backyard, the old man continued to drink a few more glasses of wine in a happy mood, and He Yuzhu accompanied him until the whole bottle of Xifeng wine he brought was finished. Otherwise, he might have another bottle to enjoy the night. In the room, the old couple sat and chatted, He Yuzhu sat next to them, and Aunt Wang Qian was cleaning up the banquet on the table with another person.

After washing the dishes, the old man asked He Yuzhu and Wang Qian to chat with the old lady, and then left on the pretext of going to the toilet, and asked the aunt to find a flashlight. After the two old people left, the old woman looked at the young couple, smiled silly and said: "I think you two complement each other more and more. When will you give me a great-grandson? If it is born later, I am afraid I will not be able to see it in time!"

"Don't talk nonsense, old lady, don't worry, your grandson will definitely see it. When the child is born, I still hope you can help take care of him!" Hearing this, He Yuzhu was touched and replied with a smile.

After hearing this, Wang Qian, who was standing next to her, blushed as if she was a little tipsy.

"Haha, you have to hurry up. I don't think I can wait for a few more years. If I can see my grandson being born before I die, I will have no regrets in this life!" said the old lady with a big smile.

"Not really. You still have several decades to live. Don't be so anxious and stop saying such unlucky things all the time." He Yuzhu comforted the old lady.

"Okay, okay, I hope you can speed up and give me a great-grandson soon." At this time, the three people in the room were still talking.

On the table were three passbooks, two grain manuals, some banknotes and piles of coins. The aunt asked with a little concern: "Yi, are you serious? Do you really want to hand over all the finances to Zhuzi's wife?"

The old man smiled and nodded, and said gently: "Don't worry, I have a good eye for people. Wang Qian and Zhuzi are both kind-hearted people, and they are the most suitable candidates for old-age care. I think it was Zhuzi who suggested doing this, just to make Wang Qian integrate into this courtyard faster and gain a good reputation. Moreover, when I heard Wang Qian's words, her eyes did not show any reluctance, which shows that they really want to take care of us in our old age."

The aunt was silent for a while, then took out a handkerchief, wrapped up the things on the table, turned to her husband and said with a smile: "Well, in this case, I believe that Zhuzi and his wife are people who are in love with each other."
