Chapter 191 Interest-free Loan
Chapter 191 Interest-free Loan
So Lan Qing and his wife thought, it would be better to use the money to open a noodle stall and make some money first.
When you have money, you can buy this land at any time.
Lan Qing and his wife looked at Lan Xin with a worried and complicated expression and asked.
"Lan Xin, how should I tell my uncle that I'm back and don't want to buy the land anymore?"
Even though Lan Qing was already a man in his thirties, his face was red with shame at this moment.
Lan Xin was stunned when she heard this, she never expected that Lan Qing actually stood up Uncle Lan and suddenly changed her mind.
But after listening to their explanation, Lan Xin nodded in agreement. This was indeed not a good time to take the land by force.
Lan Qing and his friends are not like Lan Xin. They have sufficient funds and are just waiting to buy land and start construction.
"This... I have an idea." Lan Xin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she spoke.
Li Xia and Xu Rufang, a couple who had returned home first, walked to the front while Lan Zelan River was ahead, while Li Xia and Xu Rufang were walking slowly behind.
Lan He turned around and asked in confusion: "What are you two talking about? Why are you walking so slowly?"
Didn't you just say you were tired? Why don't you go home and rest? Why are you two sisters-in-law standing on the road together?
"You go back first, we'll walk slowly." Xu Rufang waved her hand to send Lan He and the others away.
"Yes, Lan Ze, you go back first." Li Xia nodded.
When they heard that they were allowed to go back first, the two brothers walked away very quickly.
After being in the sun all day, he was covered in sweat and felt sticky. He wanted to go back and take a cool shower to feel refreshed.
After the men left, Li Xia and Xu Rufang looked at each other. Finally, Li Xia lost her temper and spoke first.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think sister-in-law and Lan Xin are talking about?"
When they left just now, Lan Qing and Chen Baoni didn't move. They sat there as if they had something to discuss with Lan Xin. Now that they have come out, as expected, eldest brother and sister-in-law are not there.
I wonder what the three of them were whispering about when they were hiding together.
What else can I say? Of course, I'm talking about the land in Sanqing Mountain.
Xu Rufang said quietly in her heart.
But she is too smart to say something so obvious.
Xu Rufang shook her head and said, "I don't know, sister-in-law, do you know?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xia couldn't help but speak.
"I know. I guess it must be about the land in Sanqing Mountain."
"Lan Xin and my eldest brother and his wife were the only ones in the village who bought the land. Lan Xin was rich, so she built a four-storey house right away. My eldest brother and his wife were not that capable."
Li Xia said sourly, as if she had eaten a whole lemon.
She narrowed her eyes and guessed, "Do you think that the eldest brother and his wife are pulling Lan Xin to borrow money to build a house?"
Although it was just a guess, she thought in her heart that this must be the case. They are brother and sister. Can Lan Xin just watch her eldest brother and not save them?
Thinking of this, Li Xia felt sad and uncomfortable. If she had known earlier, she would have asked Lan Xin to borrow money to buy a piece of land.
After all, we are all brothers. Why should I lend money to my eldest brother and his wife and not to them?
Xu Rufang lowered her eyes, with envy and bitterness in her eyes. She had similar thoughts as Li Xia. They were all brothers from the same family, so why was Lan Xin so close to Lan Qing and the others?
"Don't think too much. My brother and the others are not that kind of people." Xu Rufang said slowly.
Hearing this, Li Xia stamped her feet angrily and said, "Alright, alright, you are all good people, and I am the bad guy, alright."
She was already annoyed after hearing about this, and her heart felt like it was blocked and she couldn't get over it. But Xu Rufang didn't stand on the same side with her and was still pretending. She was annoyed.
As Li Xia said this, she wanted to walk away quickly and go home, but no matter how fast she walked, Xu Rufang could always keep up with her.
She said hesitantly, full of uncertainty, "Second sister-in-law, you said Lan Xin can lend money to Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, so can you lend us some money to build a house?"
After listening to Xu Rufang's words, Li Xia thought about it again and again, slowed down her pace, and finally said:
"If I had asked Lan Xin earlier, she might have borrowed it. But now she definitely won't lend it to me. After all, we have to build a four-story building."
Since Lan Xin wouldn't lend it to her, there was no need for her to embarrass herself by asking.
It’s a small 4-story building. I don’t know when she will be able to afford to live in it.
However, thinking that Lan Xin now has the money to build a building because she made money at the beginning, Li Xia began to feel a little better. When she makes money, she will also build a 4-story building!
Xu Rufang didn't expect Li Xia to turn against her while she was talking. She looked at her from behind in amazement, and quickly followed her to ask.
"Second sister-in-law, are we just going to watch Big Brother and his team build the building?"
"What else can we do? It's our fault that we're not as quick as our big brother." Li Xia said unhappily.
She didn't want to discuss this matter now. The more she talked about it, the more depressed she became. They were obviously brothers from the same family. They all made money by selling tea eggs so that the eldest brother and his wife could have money to buy land and build a house.
"Hey hey..."
Looking at Li Xia's back as she walked away, Xu Rufang stomped her feet in anger.
……
"What? A bank loan?"
The Lan family members all looked at Lan Qing and his wife in amazement, suspecting that there was something wrong with their ears.
Otherwise, why would two people like this come up with the idea of borrowing money from a loan shark?
Old Man Lan immediately stood up angrily, walked around the room, and finally picked up a big broom and hit Lan Qing with it.
While beating him, he cursed, "I told you to borrow money, I told you to borrow money. Why did you buy a piece of land when you have no money? And you even borrowed from a loan shark. You are too ambitious, don't you understand?"
Behind Old Man Lan were the two brothers Lan Ze and Lan He. They jogged all the way, fearing that Old Man Lan would fall down while chasing them, which would make him so anxious and angry that he would faint.
"I spent money to buy the land, but in the end I have no money to build the house and I have to borrow money! The interest is compounded, how can you pay it back?" Old Man Lan shouted heartbreakingly.
He threw the broom away, slapped his chest hard with one hand, and tears came out of his confused eyes.
Old Mrs. Lan, who was sitting, was also holding a handkerchief and pressing it against the corners of her eyes. Soon it became wet and her originally straight back became hunched.
Lan Qing, who was being chased and beaten by Old Man Lan, saw Old Man Lan's situation and hurriedly stopped and ran back to pat him on the back to calm him down.
"Mom and Dad, please listen to my explanation."
Chen Baoni, who was watching Lan Qing being beaten, also hurriedly explained, "Mom and Dad are not borrowing usury, they are borrowing money from the bank. It's called an interest-free loan, there is no interest."
After Old Man Lan caught his breath, he pushed Lan Qing away with his hand, glared at Lan Qing and roared.
"Nonsense, who in this world lends money without interest? Oh my God, how could I have given birth to such a bastard son?"
"Not only did you borrow the money, you also tried to deceive an old man like me. Lan Qing, do you still have me as your father?"
