Chapter 20: The Dignity of the Low
Gu Bei walked in the door and greeted politely: "Aunt Ma, come to my house." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ma Li said "um" in her nose: "Gu Bei, your mother and I are talking about your major, your mother and I both think that the Chinese Department has no future, I want you to change to an agricultural school, just more of our tobacco factory professional counterpart, when you graduate, let your Uncle Tian directly transfer you to the tobacco bureau to work!" ”
Gu Bei smiled.
He heard all the conversations between Ma Li and his mother, not to mention, Ma Li's mother-in-law's mouth is really sharp, tsk, what she says is better than what she sings, and the empty check is very atmospheric, change to an agricultural university? Who knows if Ma Li will turn her face and deny people in four years? If Gu Bei remembers correctly, the tobacco factory will be integrated in two years, and then Tian Jianjun will go directly to the Tobacco Bureau as a leader, and his mother will be laid off and unemployed, and I didn't see you Ma Li pull out a knife to help at that time!
Seeing that her son didn't speak, Li Yuling asked, "Gu Bei, what do you think?" ”
Gu Beidao: "It is impossible to change majors, I definitely want to study the Chinese Department of Atlantis University, but thank you Aunt Ma for such a big heart for ****." ”
Hearing this, Ma Li almost fainted, she poked Gu Bei with her hand and said: "Yuling, tell me about Gu Bei, why is this kid so disobedient, joking with his future, what kind of words is this!" ”
Li Yuling thought for a while and said with a smile: "Sister Ma Li, I thank you for your kindness, but I think it's better to forget about changing majors, the child likes it, let him go, it's not good for us parents to force our children to do things they don't like." ”
The fire in Ma Li's heart came up!
Hey! I don't know what to do in this family, right? After spending so much saliva and promising such a big benefit, I still have to play with my mother!
Ma Li took several breaths in a row before holding back the power of the desolation in her body, thinking that the show had just begun, hum, wait a minute, let your mother and son regret their intestines!
Thinking so, Ma Li took a sip of strong tea, the tea was two inferior tea stalks of five cents a catty, and her mouth was numb because of the bitterness.
"Bang"!
Ma Li put the tea bowl heavily on the table, and said in a long tone: "Yuling, I have another thing to do today, when I was a year ago, didn't Jianjun borrow 6,000 yuan from you, I'm a soft-hearted person, I know that your family is in trouble, so I haven't asked for it, thinking that I can help a little, but now, it's been more than half a year, you see......"
Hearing this, Li Yuling's heart was half cold.
suffered from it, the 6,000 yuan was secretly lent to her husband by Tian Jianjun, and he said that he would repay the money at the end of this year, but now Ma Li doesn't know where to know about it, she didn't promise to change Gu Bei's school just now, Ma Li is holding back a resentment to force her to pay a debt, it's a big deal! Because the family didn't have the 6,000 yuan at all.
Gu Bei saw that his mother's face was a little ugly, and his heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, but it was natural to repay the debt, he had nothing to say, he only blamed himself for not earning the money to help the family share the pressure, Gu Bei turned his head to Ma Li and said, "Aunt Ma, do you think this is going to happen?" Give me another ten days, I owe you 6,000, and I will pay you back 7,000 after 10 days, and the extra 1,000 is interest, and my mother can make an IOU! ”
Ma Li was tempted to say this, and she postponed ten days to get an extra thousand yuan, which was more fierce than a loan shark, but Gu Bei was just a wild boy in her eyes, of course she wouldn't believe it easily, Ma Li turned her head to look at Li Yuling, and asked in a long tone: "Yuling, is this what you mean?" ”
"Don't listen to him." Li Yuling dragged Gu Bei, her monthly salary was only in her early eighties, and she would give Ma Li an extra 1,000 in ten days, isn't this what a fool does? Of course, she didn't blame Gu Bei for saying such nonsensical words, at least her son knew that he had thought about it for the family, but when she thought of the problem of money, her heart fluttered again, but what can she do, it is her business that she has no money, and the wife of the factory director is waiting to see the joke.
"Sister Ma Li, you sit down first, and I'll go get the money."
Li Yuling, who was forced to be helpless, forcibly squeezed out a smile, and then returned to the bedroom alone, took out a sum of money from the bedside table, and counted it carefully, a total of 3150.
She saved this money for more than two months, and originally planned to return it to her second brother Li Liguo, Li Liguo has uremia, and the monthly medical expenses are astronomical, and she has to provide her daughter with education, and the family's situation is even bleaker than her, relying on Yu Feng, the second sister-in-law who runs a convenience store, to support it alone, but after her family accident, Li Liguo was stunned and squeezed out 3,000 yuan from between his teeth to lend her.
This debt is owed until now, Li Liguo is going to undergo dialysis next month, and he needs a lot of money, Li Yuling, who is in a difficult situation, can't help, but she still plans to pay back the money she owes to her second brother, she finally saved 3,000 yuan in the past two months, and the phone calls have been made, so that the second sister-in-law will come to withdraw the money in two days, and now, Ma Li suddenly came to the door to force the debt and disrupted her arrangement.
Thinking like this, Li Yuling's eyes turned red.
She didn't know how to face her second sister-in-law, and what made her even more uncomfortable was that this money was far from enough to pay off Ma Li, but there was no way! She rummaged through her husband's clothes, drawers, and searched all the places in the house where she could hide money like a headless fly, fifty, ten, one, a total of 234 yuan, plus the 3150 had 3384 yuan, but it was still not enough, but she couldn't find a single dollar.
Li Yuling raised her head and sighed, and after a long time, she wiped her somewhat moist eyes, cheered up and returned to the living room, turned to Gu Bei and said, "You go back to the bedroom and listen to your mother." ”
"Mom, I'm here, not going anywhere." Gu Bei shook his head, every time a creditor came to force a debt in the past, his mother would send him away, because there was no parent in this world who was willing to let his son see the scene of being forced to pay a debt, it was a cheap step on dignity! However, this time, Gu Bei will not leave, and the family is to stand together in the face of any crisis, because this is the unforgettable warmth of home.
Hearing this, Li Yuling was anxious! When she opened her mouth and was about to speak, she was held by Gu Bei, her son's fingers were slender and powerful, Li Yuling felt a burst of warmth for no reason, and her depressed heart was slightly relieved, she looked at her son's clear eyes, after all, she didn't drive her son away, she handed the money to Ma Li, and said kindly: "Sister Ma Li, you see, there are so many in my house now, a total of three thousand three, or you take the money first, and then the two thousand seven you owe will accommodate me for two months, and I will definitely pay back the money after two months." ”
Ma Li felt a sense of happiness in her heart.
Hmph, aren't you Li Yuling quite capable?
Why don't you listen to you if you want to change the major of Gu Bei, a little brute?
Do you regret it now?
It's late!
Today, I want you to see the means of the old lady!
Ma Li coughed and said slowly: "Yuling, I know your situation is a little difficult, and I don't want to embarrass you, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Xiao Tian is about to go to college, what about Xiao Tian's girl, what kind of laptop and what kind of SLR camera to buy, ouch!" I also picked some big foreign brands, of course, you don't understand, in short, there are no tens of thousands of dollars, and I don't have any savings, you see......"
"I know, I know."
Li Yuling echoed on her lips, the torment in her heart! In the past two years, she has experienced too many scenes of being forced to pay debts, but there has never been a creditor as ruthless as Ma Li, with a high profile and smugness in her words, and she will be forced to a dead end!
But what can be done?
If you owe someone money, you have to suffer this kind of wretchedness!
It is impossible to beg the other party, not for yourself, but also for her son to protect this little bit of dignity, Li Yuling said ruthlessly: "You see that this is okay, you accept the money first, and the more than 2,000 that you still owe you, and you will ask Jianjun to deduct my salary next month, until the deduction is finished." ”
"That's not going to work!" Ma Li's tone was stiff and said: "Jianjun is the head of a factory, how can he deduct money?" Let the rest of the compound know that he thinks he has deducted employees' wages privately, the impact is not good, I think you still have to find a way to get some money, I don't want to stay here for dinner! ”
"Ma Li, don't go too far!"
Gu Bei, who had been watching from the sidelines, stood up and stared at Ma Li coldly, he was over thirty years old in his heart, and he should be forbearant and restrained, but seeing his hard-working mother being bullied by Ma Li like this, an unquenchable anger burned in his chest, this world is too sad, when a person is poor, it is completely unreasonable to speak, begging is just a stepping stone to be cheaply used by others, dignity is as cheap as toilet paper!
"Hey, bunny, who are you scaring about!" Ma Li was startled by Gu Bei just now, and jumped up directly from the sofa after reacting, she had endured Gu Bei for a long time, and now she had to give this stinky boy some color to see: "What are you talking about?" Yes! I don't have much ability, but my temper is not small, and I will pay back the money if I have a kind! I, Ma Li, will climb out of the door of your Gu family with both hands! ”
"Dododo......"
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"The door is unlocked, come in." Li Yuling said with red eyes.
The door opened, and a young postman's head poked in, he felt that the atmosphere in the living room was very depressing, and hurriedly said, "May I ask if this is Gu Bei's house?" ”
Gu Bei suppressed the anger in his chest, turned his head to the postman and said, "I'm Gu Bei, do you have something?" ”
"You have a copy of the mail and the mailing note." Seeing that Gu Bei was so young, the postman couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "It says that you participated in the Nongfu Spring advertising slogan collection contest and won the first prize." That's amazing, boy! ”
At this time, Ma Li and Li Yuling were stunned.
The postman took out a piece of mail and a payment slip and handed it to Gu Bei: "Na, this is a bonus of 10,000 yuan." ”
"Bang Bang"!
The phone in Ma Li's hand fell to the ground.
