Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons-Chapter 717: If you were really that particular, you wouldn’t have come to borrow money.

Chapter 717: Chapter 717: If you were really that particular, you wouldn’t have come to borrow money.

Si Xiaohui rolled her eyes, "If you were so particular about everything, you wouldn’t come to borrow money."

She didn’t even count the money of her siblings. These people were incredible, one was more shameless than the other. If Tong Yao didn’t lend her money, she would go to the village head and cry poor. She didn’t believe it, the village head wouldn’t help her out.

Zhou shen-er wasn’t a pushover either, knowing that Si Chen despised his sister, she wouldn’t regard Si Xiaohui either. "Xiaohui, I know your brother is making money now, but don’t look down on old neighbors of several decades. When your mom was alive, she was always polite to me. Even though my family is poor now, my grandson might also go to college and make a name for himself in the future."

Who in the village doesn’t know that Si Xiaohui is the daughter of Si Weimin, Si Chen letting her into the house is already pretty good, she won’t spoil her anymore.

Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian took pleasure in watching them argue, without any intention to help. They were both not the kind types. Who will wins or loses, Tong Yao couldn’t be bothered to step in.

Just as Si Xiaohui was about to retort, she saw Si Chen and Gu Hongwei return from outside. Si Xiaohui still cared about making a good impression in front of Gu Hongwei, so she held back and didn’t talk back.

Seeing through her intentions, Guo Jinnian felt so sour inside that he almost vomited. He knew she was together with Gu Hongwei, but still deliberately acted nice in front of him. It was disgusting.

Fortunately, she won’t have to see Si Xiaohui anymore after moving to Kyoto, or she will die of annoyance.

"Xiaochen, Hongwei, you guys are back?" Seeing the two returning, Zhou Shen’er immediately put on a welcoming smile.

"Zhou Shen-er, what brings you here in the middle of the night?" Si Chen asked, knowingly.

"Zhou Shen-er." Gu Hongwei also greeted Zhou Shen-er.

"Xiaochen, Hongwei, I came here today to ask you guys for a favor. It’s late at night, so I won’t beat around the bush. We’re not strangers, so I’ll be frank." Zhou Shen-er said cheerfully.

Si Chen and Gu Hongwei looked at each other and nodded together.

"Go ahead, Zhou Shen-er."

"The thing is, I want to buy shares, and my youngest son is getting married. We don’t have enough money at home, so I thought about borrowing some from you. You two used to play together when you were kids. Now you’re both married with kids while he hasn’t even gotten married yet. The bride’s family wants not only a dowry but also three big gifts. My family really doesn’t have any money, so I want to borrow some from you. When we get the dividends from the fruit planting, I’ll repay you. We’ve been neighbors for so long, and you even call me Auntie. You’re not afraid I’ll run away, right?"

Zhou Shen-er said fluently, she thought Si Chen and Gu Hongwei, being so wealthy, would definitely lend her the money. Unlike Tong Yao, Si Chen and Gu Hongwei are villagers themselves, and they might have some village feelings deep down.

She’s not asking to borrow much. This amount of money is nothing to Si Chen and Gu Hongwei. What’s wrong with lending it to her for a bit?

As for repaying the money, her family had already figured it out. Si Chen and Gu Hongwei are rich, they won’t care about this little money. It can be considered as doing a good deed.

Put simply, she came to "borrow" money, but she had no intention of repaying it.

Si Chen hesitated for a while, then said: "Zhou Shen-er, I’m sorry, I can’t lend you this money."

Zhou Shen-er was stunned, the smile on her face disappeared. Before she could speak Gu Hongwei also said: "Zhou Shen-er, I can’t lend it to you either. We came back this time to help everyone get rich together, not to help individuals."

The expression on Zhou Shen-er’s face disappeared in an instant.

"You two are so rich, what’s wrong with lending me a little? You guys can donate money to fix the road, but can’t help the village out a bit?"

"No." Si Chen answered very directly. "I’m a doctor and I don’t make much in a month. It’s not enough to cover my own expenses, let alone help Yaoyao out." freёnovelkiss.com

Gu Hongwei also said: "Personally, I don’t have that much money either. The money is for the shareholders. The road repair was agreed upon by all the shareholders. It’s not within my personal discretion."

Zhou Shen-er didn’t understand the thing about shareholders, but she got the message. These two people simply didn’t want to lend money. She came here full of confidence, thinking she could definitely borrow the money. After all, Gu Hongwei and Si Chen were genuinely wealthy. She hadn’t expected that they would both be so ruthless.

She angrily said: "Now that you’re making money, you don’t care about the villagers anymore. You look down on us, do you think we won’t be able to pay you back?"

Gu Hongwei and Si Chen remained silent together, with no intention to respond. Zhou Shen-er was so mad that she could do nothing. Even if she was angry, she couldn’t change anything if they didn’t want to lend her the money.

In the end, she left Si’s home cursing and swearing, steaming with rage.

Watching them leave, Si Chen followed them out and closed the door. He said: "Let’s go back to Kyoto after the seventh day of mourning ."

Tong Yao nodded: "They say it’s a joy to return with honor. However, dealing with these neighbors is pretty frustrating. I estimate if we keep staying here, there will be countless incidents."

Gu Hongwei also agreed with Tong Yao’s words, "These villagers have changed."

Guo Jinnian added: "It’s not that the villagers have changed, they’ve always been like this. You guys used to have the same conditions as them, so they couldn’t guilt trip you with morality."

Knowing the kind of person her father is, Guo Jinnian didn’t have the face to speak ill of others.

Tong Yao was amused by her comment, "If your father heard this, he would die of anger."

"He wouldn’t die of anger. I haven’t been in touch with my family in years, so I have no idea whether I have a younger brother or sister."

Tong Yao shrugged. "Just take it easy."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Si Xiaohui deliberately made tea for them. "I just put Zhou Shen-er in her place. She has the nerve to borrow money. Why should you cover her son’s wedding costs or her share-buying costs for her?"

"Go to sleep early." Si Chen ignored Si Xiaohui, said a sentence, and then took Tang Yao upstairs.

Si Xiaohui stood there, upset. Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Gu Hongwei. Guo Jinnian glared at her and pulled Gu Hongwei back to their room.

"Come here, I have something to say to you."

Si Xiaohui was so angry, but there was nothing she could do about them. Wasn’t it just because she hadn’t made anything of herself over the years? These people are really snobs.

If she made a name for herself and got rich, even if she had a bad reputation, they wouldn’t look down on her, would they?
