Chapter 8: Borrowing Money



Although Han Xiaodong promised Xiao K to find a way to get money, it was really difficult for him.

Because his family is not rich, Han Xiaodong does not have much pocket money, so it is really difficult to scrape together such a "huge sum" temporarily.

Thinking about how to get money in his mind, the speed of eating noodles slowed down, but his every move was watched by Mr. Qiu.

"What's the matter, kid? What's bothering you? Tell Grandpa and see if I can help you." Old Man Qiu asked while sucking on noodles.

"It's okay." Han Xiaodong replied in a muffled voice. He had only been working with Mr. Qiu for half a month, and he always felt unable to open his mouth about money.

"Are you all right?" Mr. Qiu didn't stop talking, just glanced at Han Xiaodong, seeing that he didn't respond, he continued to eat his own noodles.

The grandparents and grandchildren in the noodle shop fell silent like this. Since the guests at the two tables had already left, only the sound of sucking noodles, one fast and one slow, could be heard in the whole noodle shop.

"Grandpa Qiu, I... want to ask you something." After about 5 minutes, Han Xiaodong finally couldn't help but speak.

"Didn't you just say you're fine?" Old Man Qiu put down the noodle bowl that had already bottomed out, and said carelessly.

"Now there is." Han Xiaodong could only deal with it with a cheeky face.

"Let's talk." Mr. Qiu poured out a toothpick from the toothpick holder, put on a gesture of listening to a story, and waited for Han Xiaodong to speak.

"I want to borrow some money." Han Xiaodong whispered while chewing noodles, if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear what he said.

"How much?" Mr. Qiu didn't hesitate.

"87 yuan 5." Han Xiaodong answered truthfully, not asking for a penny more.

Old Man Qiu didn't pick up on him, and continued to pick his teeth leisurely, as if he didn't hear it.

Han Xiaodong's heart was pounding. If Mr. Qiu refused his request, then he would have nothing to do. He could only go home and find his mother to find a solution.

"No." Old Man Qiu picks the teeth slowly for a long time, until he throws the toothpick into the trash can, and then throws out a short answer.

"Oh." Han Xiaodong continued to eat the noodles, because the noodles in his bowl were a little cold because he ate too slowly, but the noodles did not swell like the noodles in other noodle restaurants.

"I don't have any borrowing money, but I can pay it out of your wages for the past two days." Mr. Qiu added after taking a sip of the noodle soup.

Han Xiaodong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded frantically, agreeing to the plan.

Seeing his appearance, Mr. Qiu couldn't help smiling, reached out and took out a stack of money from his pocket, and directly took out a red ticket and put it in front of Han Xiaodong: "Three days' wages, no exception."

Han Xiaodong was so moved that he was about to cry, he quickly put the money into his trouser pocket, and said vaguely, "Thank you, Grandpa Qiu."

After the money was settled, Han Xiaodong was also in a good mood, and finished eating the remaining noodles in a short while.

Then they cleaned up the store and washed them together with their dishes, and then got up to say goodbye and go home.

When he reached the door, he turned around and asked again: "Grandpa Qiu, you don't even ask me what the money is used for, are you not afraid that I will use it to do bad things and hurt you?"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Qiu waved his hand: "Shit, how bad can you do with 100 yuan? If you really use this money to buy a kitchen knife and rob a bank tomorrow, I respect you for being a man. Get out of here and go home!"

Han Xiaodong said goodbye to Mr. Qiu with a dark face, and left Mr. Qiu's noodle shop.

Walking to the street, Han Xiaodong called Xiao K in his mind
"Now that you have the money, tell me about your plan."

Unexpectedly, Xiao K didn't speak, but pulled a list in Han Xiaodong's mind, which was full of medicines.

"Why are you buying these medicines? Aren't you going to poison Zhu Qiang to death?" Han Xiaodong couldn't help but feel a little worried in view of Xiao K's very unreliable plan when dealing with Mr. Zhao.

"There are no poisonous ingredients in the list, please rest assured to buy." Xiao K's answer was very specific, but it did not make Han Xiaodong less worried.

But at this moment, there is no other way but to trust him.

According to Xiao K's instructions, Han Xiaodong found a 24-hour pharmacy and bought all the medicines according to the requirements on the list.

Han Xiaodong checked these medicines by himself, and they were indeed commonly used medicines. It even contained a box of balm and a very small spray bottle, so the balm wouldn't be poisonous.

After buying the medicines and paying for them, Han Xiaodong found out that the medicines only cost 67 yuan and 5 cents. He guessed that Xiao K would ask him to buy other things, but unexpectedly Xiao K said to him, "Go home."

Han Xiaodong asked again, but Little K didn't answer him. He knew that Little K must have gone offline again.

Han Xiaodong was overjoyed, and thought that the 87 yuan 5 that he had agreed upon, ended up spending 67 yuan 5 yuan. It seems that this system sometimes miscalculates accounts.

Seeing that he saved money, he was happy, so he put the medicine in his pocket and rushed home.

Opening the door, Han Xiaodong's mother, Lin Yun, had already arrived home.

"Xiaodong, where have you been? Why did you come back so late?" Lin Yun looked at the dusty Han Xiaodong and asked suspiciously.

"Ah... I didn't come back after I finished my homework at Xu Meng's house." Han Xiaodong quickly sacrificed Xu Meng's panacea, otherwise he would have to reveal his part-time job.

"What about your schoolbag?" Lin Yun asked.

"Leave it to Xu Meng. He said he would borrow my notes to copy, so I'll leave it to him." Han Xiaodong responded casually.

Lin Yun works as a warehouse manager in a foreign trade company. Although the salary is not high, the work pressure is very high, and she often gets home very late.

Most of the time, when she got home, Han Xiaodong was already asleep, so she never found out that Han Xiaodong was doing odd jobs outside.

The company was busy early today, just in time to get home before Han Xiaodong.

"Isn't Xu Meng a sports student? Can you write together?" Lin Yun asked suspiciously. In her impression, sports students don't need to do homework.

"Physical students also have to take the exam. Xu Meng also has to take the Provincial Sports Institute, and the score is high." Han Xiaodong dealt with it casually, anyway, Xu Meng would definitely not betray himself.

"Xu Meng is a pretty good kid, but how much can you improve your grades when you two study together? Your grades can't match hers." When Lin Yun mentioned grades, she felt more worried.

In her eyes, Han Xiaodong is good in everything, but his academic performance is really not worry-free. Every time he takes the exam, he is in the bottom ten of his class. In this way, it will be difficult for him to take an ordinary second class, let alone a C university!

But Lin Yun also knows that the child's poor study has a lot to do with her lack of time to supervise her studies, but what can she do?You have to live, Han Xiaodong spends money everywhere in school, and she can only support the family by herself, which often makes her in a dilemma. "Got it, Mom, I'll try my best." Han Xiaodong nodded. There were some things he didn't want to tell his mother to worry about.

Lin Yun didn't say anything, just sighed. Suddenly, her nose twitched back and forth twice, and then asked sternly, "Where is the oily smell coming from you? Did you go to the restaurant?"
