Chapter 1203: First the Villain, Then the Gentleman

After dinner, He Jian Country approached He Jinxuan: "Jinxuan, did you mention the money matter to your sister-in-law?"

He Jinxuan didn’t care what he thought: "Second Brother, you two are quite something. Clearly, you needed help, yet Second Sister-in-law said those inappropriate things. I really don’t know what to say to you two."

But after all, he’s my second brother. As Yanyan said, spending a little money for peace and quiet, at least avoid any trouble in the next few days, send the people off smoothly, and we’ll see their attitude in the future.

But he did not abandon his principles just because he was his second brother: "Second Brother, I told you the other day, I started a small transportation company, don’t be embarrassed for me, it’s all thanks to the support from my in-laws.

You know my expenses have been high recently, I don’t have cash on hand, and I can only shift a thousand yuan from the gift money from yesterday, would that be okay?"

These days, in that small place like Sanyuan, running a small business is indeed just about right.

He Jian Country was grateful to hear he could borrow a thousand yuan: "Third, thank you for letting bygones be bygones, willing to help me. Don’t worry, I’ll work hard to repay you as soon as possible."

He Jinxuan nodded and continued: "Second Brother, but we have to keep clear accounts among brothers, you’ll need to write an IOU for us."

He Jian Country paused for a moment, then nodded: "Alright."

Soon, He Jinxuan went back to his room and came out with a thousand yuan, along with pen and paper.

In front of the family, He Jian Country wrote an IOU, signed it, and put his fingerprint on it.

Gao Yumei was a bit displeased: "You’re brothers, how can you not keep your word, is it necessary to write an IOU?"

Xinyan happened to come out and heard this: "Being cautious before being noble, that’s our principle, whoever comes to borrow money from us follows the same rule."

Mr. He sensed his third daughter-in-law’s displeasure and quickly spoke: "What Xinyan said is right, signing an IOU when borrowing money is only proper, why are you babbling?"

Guo Yueyue leaned close to her eldest sister-in-law’s ear: "I really have it with Second Sister-in-law, borrowing money and still being so improper."

Wang Erni couldn’t tolerate Gao Yumei: "Third Brother’s couple have no choice, borrow money while they’re getting married, you’d think they could say no. I even mentioned it to Mom before coming, but she told me not to bother.

But I’ve figured it out, your Third Sister-in-law is clever. You see, she’s having him sign the IOU to prevent future trouble."

Guo Yueyue agreed: "It is true, if there’s borrowing and repaying, borrowing again is not difficult. But if there’s borrowing without repaying, they may only face closed doors in the future."

Wang Erni glanced at Guo Yueyue: "That’s right, I knew early on your Third Sister-in-law is decisive. Lending out this thousand yuan, it’s ultimately for the sake of the parents-in-law’s face, probably already prepared for the worst."

The matter was satisfactorily resolved, and it happened that the specialty products from Beijing that Xinyan had arranged to buy were also delivered, plus a box of tea for each family.

Of course, He Yanqing, this little sister-in-law, wasn’t treated favorably either; she was equally prepared a share.

He Yanqing was a bit embarrassed: "Third Sister-in-law, I live right in Beijing, why did you still prepare Beijing specialty products for me? That’s too extravagant."

He Yanqing, this sister-in-law, has changed a lot since coming to Beijing, especially no longer being as selfish as before and not giving her any trouble, which made her very satisfied: "Even though you live in Beijing, I bet you wouldn’t frequently buy these for the kids. This is a little thought from me as an aunt, just take it."

She has this kind of personality, if I want to give, then it’s okay, if I don’t want to give, it’s useless even if you want it.

Just after she finished speaking, the thank-you voices from the two nephews came through: "Thank you, Third Aunt."

Xinyan smiled and nodded to them: "Glad you like it."

After arranging the items, Xinyan chatted with the younger generation of the He Family for a moment before giving each of them a red envelope as they left.

The minibus He Jinxuan had arranged in advance.

Mr. He looked at the two: "Xinyan, if you have time off during New Year’s, come back home to celebrate."

Xinyan nodded slightly and agreed: "Alright, if Jinxuan has time off, I’ll inform you in advance."

Xinyan handed a package to Mother He: "Inside are two pieces of fabric, some supplements, and fruits. Take care of your health."

Mother He was a little embarrassed: "Didn’t you already give things before, why more now?"

Xinyan laughed: "Earlier ones were for everyone, these are specially prepared by me and Jinxuan for you, just take them."

She doesn’t interact much with Mother He, and at first, Mother He didn’t really like her, so she doesn’t get too close. But what she’s supposed to do, she certainly won’t shortchange.

The car started, the two waved goodbye to the He Family, watching the car disappear around the corner ahead before they met each other’s gaze...
