CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 76: THE MURDER TRIGGERED BY BORROWING MONEY (THREE CHAPTERS COMBINED)_2

Jiang Lei hurriedly stopped.

"Of course lend it, how can I not?"

"Then tell me, what exactly are you going to use this money for?"

"Let me tell you, I’m lending this money to a friend. It’s that He Aiguo, remember? The guy you met last time in the scrapyard. I even got into a fight with him later on, and I have to admit, he’s got quite the skills.

We actually became friends through conflict. Later, I found out he’s had a really tough life. When he was young, his mom passed away early, and he ended up with a stepmother. After she married in, she had a brother and a sister.

Think about it yourself. Could a stepmother be kind to him? As expected, he doesn’t even have a place to call home now. It wasn’t the family who insisted he goes to be an educated youth, but his dad forced him to go.

If he’s going to be an educated youth, let him be one. But he’s about to leave, and apart from buying him a ticket, the family didn’t give him a penny. Didn’t even think about how a grown man like him is about to leave home for a farm miles away.

When he gets to the farm, there are bound to be places he needs things, but he doesn’t have a cent on him, not even for emergencies. He’s been worried these days, thinking if he should borrow from friends first, but he doesn’t have any reliable friends.

Someone like me, I don’t even have a few pennies to my name, how can I lend it to him? I calculated, all my spare change barely adds up to one point five. Bringing it out would be shameful.

Dear sister, think about it, how pitiful he is, and besides, he’s a friend of your brother, and he might go to the countryside with you, maybe you’ll be friends in the future! Just help out your brother and lend a bit, okay?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead, she really had forgotten about this matter.

Look at her memory.

She had agreed to help He Aiguo.

"Brother, I can lend you the money, but recently I’ve heard some news about He Aiguo, I don’t know if it’s true or not. I’ll tell you anyway, you decide if you want to tell He Aiguo."

Jiang Lei showed interest, "Who have you been meeting lately? You actually heard some news about He Aiguo, I’m really curious, isn’t everyone gossiping now, always spreading rumors about others."

Truthfully, he’s the biggest gossip himself.

"So, do you want to hear it?"

"Of course, why wouldn’t I? Tell me quickly."

The two huddled secretly in a corner.

Jiang Lei was shocked after hearing it, he never thought his sister would tell him such astonishing news!

"This can’t be fake, right? What if it’s false, and I tell He Aiguo. If He Aiguo tells his dad, wouldn’t his dad beat him to death? You don’t know, his dad hits him really hard.

He can break a belt with his strikes. This matter concerns one’s reputation, no man could endure it, what if his dad doesn’t believe it, then it’s He Aiguo who’s unlucky?"

Jiang Lei couldn’t believe that a woman dared to do something so brazen.

"I don’t know if it’s true, but people say that He Aiguo’s brother and sister look just like Zhang Guozhong from the fertilizer factory, and this Zhang Guozhong used to be from the same village as He Aiguo’s stepmother, they say the two of them used to date, such things aren’t easily fabricated, folks in the village know best.

Seems like the elders didn’t agree, so it didn’t work out. But the two still kept in touch.

Also heard that Zhang Guozhong has a lot of money, often saying he has a woman supporting him now. Claims his girlfriend is loaded and can give him twenty or thirty dollars every month.

Said he has a son and daughter, others even allow him to keep his son and daughter for free, waiting for them to support him when he’s old.

Twenty or thirty bucks, it’s equivalent to a worker’s salary! I’ve heard that He Aiguo’s dad mines and earns quite a bit, over a hundred bucks a month. These things together almost make it believable, since an average worker only earns twenty or thirty bucks a month, couldn’t really be giving all this money to others.

If his dad doesn’t notice, it’s probably because he earns like He Aiguo’s dad, earning a lot, so it might be possible. Whether you believe it or not, I’m telling you, you think about whether to tell He Aiguo.
