My courtyard shelter

Chapter 793: Exposed

"Mom, uncle is here."

"Brother, you are here, come in quickly."

Mother Xie looked enthusiastic.

Uncle Xie showed no politeness and asked directly about his eldest niece's boyfriend as soon as he entered the door.

"You mean Erbao?" Mother Xie couldn't help but smile, "I'm very satisfied with Erbao. He is a person worthy of being entrusted to me for life."

"How is this person's character?"

"Of course, his character is beyond words. Not only does he take good care of Linlin, but he also takes good care of Xiaolu and Xiaochao. He also helps our family solve many problems."

"What's going on at work, Xiaolu?"

"She works at Xiaowantang, and Erbao introduced her there. He knows the general manager, and I feel relieved that Xiaolu will work there."

Uncle Xie got straight to the point: "This second treasure doesn't look like an ordinary person, right?"

"Their family is in business. They have opened a breeding farm specializing in raising earthworms. I originally planned to buy some dried earthworms to send to you, but unfortunately they have just raised them and it is not time to harvest them yet."

"Are you sure? There are many scammers nowadays..."

Xie's mother poured a glass of water for Uncle Xie: "I'm sure, Erbao is a very strong boy and has a lot of energy. It seems that he has never been hungry since he was a child. Their family conditions should be good."

"What's the name of their breeding farm? I'll check it out for you when I have time. You can't be careless about this."

Uncle Xie said cautiously.

"It seems to be called Bao..."

Mother Xie is old and has a bad memory. She couldn't remember it for a while.

Xie Hao immediately answered helpfully: "Uncle, it's called Baochuan Breeding Farm, the treasure of treasure, the river of mountains and rivers. But I heard from Brother Xu that the scale of the farm is not large, and it seems that there are less than ten employees."

"Xiaochao, don't look down on the breeding farms. These days, as long as it is a company related to food production, no matter how big or small it is, there is no simple one. It seems that this company has a big background!"

Uncle Xie couldn't help but sigh.

Mother Xie nodded in agreement: "I've seen it a long time ago. Their family's life should be pretty good. At least they don't have to worry about going hungry. Lin Lin won't suffer any loss if he marries over."

"It's better to be careful, people like this..."

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Mother Xie shook her head, "Erbao doesn't look like a dandy. I asked him to help me buy some food in the morning, and he brought it over in the afternoon."

"Hey, did you buy food?"

Mother Xie nodded: "There has been something wrong with the limelight recently. I heard that there will be a curfew soon, and I always feel uneasy. I happened to hear Erbao say that his father can buy food, so I mentioned it casually."

"How much did you buy?"

"I bought a total of two hundred kilograms of corn."

Uncle Xie was shocked: "So much? At what price did you buy it?"

"It's said to be one hundred and one kilograms..."

"Impossible." Uncle Xie denied on the spot, "Now sweet potatoes cost more than a hundred yuan. How can corn only sell for a hundred yuan a pound?"

Mother Xie shook her head: "I don't think it's possible either. Erbao, the kid, refused to accept the money at first. He probably quoted a low price on purpose."

"How did you deal with it in the end?"

Uncle Xie didn't even know what to say.

"He and Lin Lin are not engaged yet. Even if they are engaged, I can't accept so much food for no reason. In the end, I finally negotiated and set a price of 100,000 yuan with him."

"One hundred thousand dollars is not much at all."

Uncle Xie spoke the truth.

"Who says it's not the case? With so much corn, there's no way to sell it on the black market."

Xie’s mother sighed.

"Listening to your introduction, this child is indeed rare. Lin Lin is lucky to meet such a good boy. As an uncle, I am really happy for her. Next time I have time, let her lead the boy. Friends, come and sit with me.”

"We'll go when the summer vacation comes!"

"Okay!" Uncle Xie nodded with a smile, and then turned his attention to the TV in front of him, "Isn't this TV cheap? You can't buy it for less than hundreds of thousands."

"Uncle, Brother Xu said that the TV picture is somewhat distorted and the clarity is not enough."

"Impossible, your home uses an indoor antenna, and the picture is not clear enough. Your uncle and I are in the maintenance field. In my opinion, this TV is very good and there is nothing wrong with it."

Xie's mother suddenly realized: "This silly kid Erbao must have moved the TV at home. I don't know where his home is. I can only wait for him to come over next time and let him move it back by himself."

"mom……"

Xie Hao just wanted to cry without tears.

"It's useless for you to cry. Our family can't afford such a precious thing. If it gets bumped into, we won't be able to repair it."

Mother Xie scolded her with a straight face.

Seeing this, Uncle Xie quickly comforted him: "My children are also very considerate. Besides, they have already moved here. It would be too shocking to go back."

"In case something breaks..."

"Don't you still have me? I'll help you fix it for free. Is that okay?"

"Mom, uncle can repair TV sets."

Xie Hao begged with a full face.

Mother Xie sighed, turned around and went to the bedroom, and quickly moved out two bags of corn.

"Brother and sister, what are you doing?"

Uncle Xie's throat was a little dry.

Which family is not short of food right now? Their family has a larger population. The elder has a pair of two-and-a-half-year-old twins, the second is pregnant, and there is also a daughter and son-in-law.

He was almost worried to death about this big family.

"Brother, I bought these two bags of corn for your family. I asked you to come here for this matter. You can take them back directly later. I won't keep you for dinner."

"How can this be possible?"

Uncle Xie refused with all his strength.

"Why not? The things are not given to you for free. These 100 kilograms of corn are used to pay off debts. Our family has no money. The remaining money can only be paid back after Linlin and others get a job."

"No, I can't take advantage of your family."

Uncle Xie waved his hands repeatedly.

"Brother, you are being polite. If you want to talk about taking advantage, it should be our family that takes advantage. You helped to raise the money for our family to buy a house, and you didn't charge interest. How can you say that?

Besides, Erbao also said that if there is a shortage of food in the future, his father can help to purchase another batch of food. In short, our family will definitely not starve."

"Uncle, I can prove that my brother-in-law did say this."

Xie Hao vowed.

Uncle Xie lowered his head and thought about it, and finally said half-heartedly: "In this case, then I will accept it, but the price cannot be calculated like this. Now that food is in short supply, just use it to pay off the debt of 100,000 yuan!"

"100,000 is too much?"

Mother Xie hesitated.

People are all made of flesh and blood. His uncle has helped their family a lot, and people should not be too greedy.

"100,000 yuan is really not a lot. If you don't agree, I won't take these corns. Just pretend that I haven't been here today."

Uncle Xie was determined not to give up half a step.

On the one hand, he felt guilty about it. After all, this was taking food from the mouths of orphans and widows. Paying a little more money would make him feel better;

On the other hand, he also wanted to leave a good impression on the "nephew-in-law". If he encountered difficulties in the future, the other party might take the initiative to help him for the sake of relatives.

It is really precious to have a relative who can get food. He doesn't want to make any mistakes.
