“No, no, Uncle Zhong. Not what I meant…” Tang Zhinian hurriedly shook his hands and tried to explain, but he was tongue-tied and couldn’t get the words out. “This is your money. How could I take it?”
Chen Zhong really wanted to throw a handful of medicinal herbs in Tang Zhinian’s face.
How could someone be so thick?
“I’ve already said that I lent this money to Yuxin. How she wants to use it is her business,” Just as Tang Zhinian was about to speak again, Chen Zhong had already started to become impatient. He took up a broom and started hitting Tang Zhinian, “Can’t you see I’m busy? Have you no sense of propriety? You’re so dim, how did you manage to have such a smart daughter?”
“Go, quick, don’t disturb me while I’m drying herbs.”
Chen Zhong did not hold back when hitting Tang Zhinian with the broom, and Tang Zhinian was promptly driven out.
With the two hundred yuan in his hand, he was torn between staying or leaving.
Upon his sullen return, he saw Tang Zhijun playing with Tang Yuxin and jump ropes. The two of them seemed to be having a great time.
“Bro, you’re back?” Tang Zhijun handed the red rope to his niece and asked curiously. “Bro, why did you leave Yuxin alone at someone else’s house, what if she got lost?”
“Ah…” Tang Zhinian reached out to hug his daughter and let her sit beside him.
“Look,” he held out his hand, in it a stack of banknotes.
Tang Zhijun was taken aback, where did all this money come from? He took the money, counting each bill. There were twenty bills, two hundred yuan!
“Bro, where did this come from?”
The brothers knew how much money they had. They had just a few tens left. After buying plastic sheets, their rice jar would be empty. That’s why they were hesitant to buy or not.
But where did his brother borrow this money from?
“She borrowed it,” Tang Zhinian pushed his daughter forward, “from Uncle Zhong. I wanted to return it to Uncle Zhong, but he wouldn’t take it. Instead, he chased me out. He said Xinxin can repay him with the herbs she digs from the mountain.”
Tang Yuxin cocked her head, looking puzzled.
“Our Xinxin is so smart,” Tang Zhijun picked up his little niece and kissed her on her small cheeks.
“Bro, let’s go buy those plastic sheets.” Tang Zhijun rubbed his hands, preparing for a big task. With this money, they could buy quite a bit of plastic sheeting and build at least five greenhouses.
If they can sell the vegetables in five greenhouses before the new year, and the price is good, the brothers can turn their lives around, and life at home will be better.
“But…” Tang Zhinian was still hesitant, this was not a small sum, what if they suffered a loss? What if they lost all two hundred yuan?
“Daddy, don’t be scared,” Tang Yuxin stood up, threw away the red rope she had been playing with, then ran over to Tang Zhinian and hugged his leg.
“If daddy’s veggies don’t sell, Xinxin will dig herbs to pay back grandpa.”
“Bro…” Tang Zhijun clenched his teeth, “Let’s take a gamble, who knows? We might succeed. Everybody’s planting less this winter, not just in our village, but in other villages as well. Everyone’s afraid it’ll be as cold as last year. But I don’t believe it. We’ve already had two cold years. It can’t be that cold this year, right?”
