Chapter 142: Blood is thicker than water

"Wow! Ten books!" Huang Hongyun did not reach for the comic book, but looked at Huang Daohan eagerly.

"Why don't you thank you, Third Uncle?"

Seeing that his father agreed, Huang Hongyun immediately burst into a smile and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle!"

"No need to thank me, just take it!"

After all, Huang Hongyun was only twelve years old, so he eagerly picked up the comic and sat on a small stool to read it.

He is in fourth grade and will be promoted to fifth grade in the fall. He can basically recognize the characters on the comic strips and enjoys reading them.

The fourth aunt Dou Xiaoxia went to the kitchen after chatting for a while, and then a sound of "Cracking" came from the kitchen. She must have cracked a few eggs.

After a while, the two brothers Huang Daozhou and Huang Daohan were having a drink. Huang Hongyun did not come to the table, but was still reading the villain's book.

The child was already dizzy with happiness, because he never thought that he would be able to get ten comic books at once.

The fourth aunt didn't sit down either. She still had to work on two side dishes in the kitchen.

Huang Daozhou didn't make any detours and soon revealed his intention.

When the fourth child learned that the third brother was here to borrow money, and the first thing he asked was to borrow 500 yuan, he almost frightened him to the ground.

This was all expected. At this time, Huang Daozhou took out the business license and the house deed stamped with the official seals of the two neighborhood committees from the artificial leather briefcase with "Souvenir of Advanced Workers" printed on it.

The characteristic of this era is basically the use of government-issued briefcases. This kind of bag is so ugly that no one will use it in four or five years.

The fourth child took the house deed and read it again and again. The look on his face was simply beyond description in words.

After seeing the business license, he sincerely admired and said: "Third brother, how come you are so prosperous after not seeing you for several years?"

"Hey! You are also an intellectual, don't you read newspapers? The country is reforming and opening up, advocating revitalizing the economy and encouraging the development of self-employed people.

I started a small business and tasted the benefits, so this time I made up my mind to let Fangfen work hard as a self-employed person."

"No wonder, no wonder, even the tone of conversation is different when we meet this time!"

"Fourth brother, you and I are brothers. If you lend me money, you are helping me. I will lend you five hundred now and pay you back six hundred in three years. I will also write a note on the three houses that my father gave me.

Don't worry, I have a house to live in.

You have also read the property deed. My family already has three rooms and one kitchen facing the street on West Street. This time I asked you to borrow money to demolish the kitchen in the yard and build a two-story six-room building."

Huang Daozhou chatted while drinking, his tone was loud and his face was full of arrogance, and he didn't even look like he was asking his fourth brother to borrow money.

At this time, Huang Daohan also had two glasses of wine. He had already seen the house deed and business license brought by the third brother, and learned that the third brother borrowed money to build a building.

He thought to himself: This is a good thing! The money he borrowed to build six buildings is still money. Besides, the third child is planning to use the three rooms of his ancestral home as a mortgage. There is no need to worry about the third child not repaying the money when the time comes. He already has it in his heart.

Got the idea to help.

Huang Daohan said politely: "Borrow five hundred to repay six hundred and give back the house? You don't treat me as your brother!"

"I don't mean that! But I think a businessman must settle accounts with brothers. If you lend me money, I should pay interest at three times the bank interest rate.

In order to prevent my sister-in-law from being worried, I took three houses as mortgage. If the money is not paid by then, the house will be yours."

The fourth child, Huang Daohan, was sweating, not because he drank two glasses of Sanshui grain wine in the hot weather, but because he was so upset.

Of course it would be good to lend money to the third brother. He came to negotiate and gave gifts, but I don’t know whether the newly bought house by the third brother is real or fake.

If it is true, it will definitely be no problem to lend him 500 yuan. If he really can't repay it after three years, he can let his family live in a newly bought and newly built house and keep the ancestral home to pay off the debt.

Thinking, thinking, the fourth child has something in his mind. Will he understand if he goes to the West Street of the county tomorrow and takes a look?

If it is true that the third child has bought a house and plans to build a building, you can definitely lend him money!

After all, he is a teacher and his words are impeccable. He said:

"Third brother wants to build a house, open a shop and do business, so of course I, a biological brother, have to help, but it's a little difficult to get 500 yuan.

But don’t worry, I’ll try to raise five hundred yuan as soon as possible even if I’m asking for a meeting at school and lend it to you! Let’s do this! Give me two or three days, and when the money arrives, I’ll send it home to you!”

"Okay! Don't worry! I won't let my brothers suffer

If you take 500 yuan, you will be asked to pay back 600 yuan by the date after three years! You can’t afford to pay off the debt with the house!”

"No, no, we're all brothers, it's too strange to look like this!"

"Didn't I just say that when doing business, we should settle accounts between brothers? What's yours is yours, and what's mine is mine!"

"Okay then, everything is up to you!"

After lunch, although the fourth couple repeatedly tried to persuade them to stay, Huang Daozhou still refused to stay overnight at his house because he had too many things to do at home and started on his way home.

The fourth child was sent to the bus station. Along the way, the two brothers no longer talked about borrowing money. Instead, they talked about interesting stories from their youth and the wonderful scenery when Huang Daozhou came home from the mines in Anhui Province for the New Year.

When they got into the car and waved goodbye, the two of them were actually a little sad.

In fact, blood is thicker than water, and this is often the case with people. Maybe the people who have helped you a lot in this life have not been seen for many years, and those around you are still those relatives who used to argue and care about each other.

After Huang Daohan returned home, Huang Han's fourth aunt Dou Xiaoxia immediately asked: "Daohan, are you going to lend 500 yuan to your third brother?"

"As long as what he said is true, of course I want to borrow it. After all, we are brothers! He came all the way to visit me, brought me something for Hongyun, and returned it in one go. We will never see each other again?"

"Five hundred yuan! This is not a small amount. You must think clearly about it."

"Well! I'll go see the house he bought with my own eyes tomorrow!"

"You have to look carefully. It's best to ask the nearest neighbor!"

"Well! Are you still worried about what I'm doing?"

"I know you are very cautious, but you always feel uneasy. After all, you only feel safe when you have money in your own hands!"

"Oh! I can't help it! The third brother came to the door specially and offered to pay interest and use the three ancestral houses in my hometown as mortgage. How dare I reply that I won't borrow the money?"

"That's right! Anyway, you have to see it clearly. If the third brother didn't tell the truth, he didn't buy a house at all, and he definitely can't borrow this money!"

"You don't have to say that he was unkind when he lied to me. Of course I can be unjust!"

Qinhuangzhen Primary School has finished its final exams and is preparing for the summer vacation. The fourth child and his wife do not need to go to class, they just go to school every day.

Huang Daohan didn't even need to ask for leave. He took a bus to the county seat the next day.

He didn't alarm anyone and got off at the terminal. The bus station will not be moved to the northwest until next winter. It is now at the west end of West Street.
