Borrow money

  "What! Borrow money!" Tian Fang's voice suddenly rose, as if he had been frightened by something. "Uncle, my family is so poor, where can we borrow money from? The children are about to start school, and we're all worried about tuition fees. We were thinking that maybe Yanyan's father could lend us some of the compensation he received first!"

  "The boss of Tianbiao Coal Mine has run away, what compensation is there? Now even the medical expenses are a problem." Tian Maohua sighed, he had known before coming that it was impossible for the Tian family to lend money, no matter if they had money or not, Tian Fang would never be willing to take it out.

  Tian Mao Chun sighed and could only find his youngest brother.

  After leaving Tian Fang's place, Tian Mao Chun first took Tian Wei to stand by the river for a while and did not immediately go with Tian Wei to find Tian Mao Hang.

  "Yuan Yuan, your third uncle doesn't have any children. When he was younger, he would go out to work and earn some money. Now that he's older, he hasn't gone out in years and just stays at home to farm. I think your third uncle doesn't have much money either, and even if he did, it's all being saved for his old age. Grandpa really didn't want to go ask him for a loan."

  Tian Mu Chun's thoughts were clear to Tian Wei. These three uncles didn't have children, and that money was for their old age. Whoever it was, no one would dare to bring this up, but now, with the urgent matter at hand, they had to force themselves to do so.

  Tian Mu Chun silently shook his head, grasped Tian Wei's hand tightly and headed towards Tian Mao Xing's house.

  Tian Mao was carrying a hoe and was about to go up the mountain when he saw two people coming to find him. He hastily put down his hoe and said, "Big brother, Yuanyuan has arrived."

  "Third Uncle is good." Tian Wei called out, in her impression of this Third Uncle was not deep, only knowing that Third Uncle had no children his whole life. In the previous generation, after their family moved to the big city, they had even less contact with this Third Uncle.

  However, in the remaining impression, this third uncle was always very kind. Probably because he never had children all his life, so especially when seeing these children, he would smile particularly happily. When the children were bored, they surrounded him and asked him to tell stories about fighting wars, and he could accompany the children with great patience, talking for a whole day, and even inviting the children to stay at his home for dinner.

  The deepest impression of Tian Wei is when San Shu Gong tells stories. His expression is very vivid and sometimes he will make gestures to match the story. For example, when he talks about Japanese planes flying over the mountain and exploding with a loud crash, his hands will mimic the plane's gliding motion. At that moment, San Shu Gong looks like a young child, full of fun, and the stories he tells are so engaging that the children in the house listen with great interest.

  "Big brother, this is about Tian Biao's matter, I know what happened." Tian Mao Xing poured a bowl of tea for the two, while Tian Mao Chun Guang drank and sat with Tian Yu, neither of them spoke.

  "Is it about Tian Biao's medical expenses? Tian Biao's boss ran away and the medical expenses have become a problem. The two kids are also about to start school." As soon as Tian Maoxue finished speaking, he suddenly went into his room. The door was open, so Tian Yuan could see Tian Maoxue's movements inside.

  Tian's room was not big, as soon as you entered the door there was a table, on which was placed a stack of books, and he was bent over rummaging through the drawer. Because the location of the room was poor, it didn't get much sunlight, and from far away you could smell the musty smell inside the house.

  After a while, Tian Mu Xing walked out with something in his hand and sat down beside Tian Mu Chun. Only then did Tian Yuan see clearly that he was holding a square piece of cloth. Tian Yuan guessed that there must be money wrapped inside, as it was common for old people to hide their money by wrapping it in cloth during those times.
