Chapter 365
Shen Fei understood Chu Lei's mother's explanation.
But Shen Fei really didn't know about the loan to Chu Lei's family.
With a puzzled look on his face, he asked Chu Lei:
"Xiao Chu, did Wen Tao lend you three thousand yuan?"
Ah? !
Chu Lei and her mother were shocked when they heard Shen Fei ask this.
"Uncle, don't you know? I borrowed three thousand yuan from Wen Tao, and I thought you knew it." Chu Lei said in surprise.
Chu Lei's mother was also confused and said to Shen Fei: "Brother Shen, don't you know about this? We thought you gave the money to Wen Tao to lend us, and I..."
For a moment, Chu Lei and her mother were at a loss.
In their opinion, even if Shen Wentao could come up with such a large sum of money as 3,000 yuan, it must have gone through Shen Fei, the father. Who would have thought that Shen Fei knew nothing about this matter...
If they had known this earlier, the mother and daughter would not have come now. Shen Fei might even blame Shen Wentao for bringing up these things for no reason.
"Wentao is a kind-hearted child. He said that my daughter had helped him before, and now he helps us because he sees that our family is in trouble. Don't blame him. We will return the 3,000 yuan to you as soon as possible." Chu Lei's mother also explained for Shen Wentao.
Seeing the mother and daughter at a loss, Shen Fei smiled and comforted them:
"Sister, Xiao Chu, don't be nervous. I don't mean to ask you for money, nor do I blame Wentao. I just didn't know about this before and was a little surprised."
"Although Wentao is young, he has his own ideas. I never interfere with his use of money. He lends you money because you are worth it."
"Take the hen and eggs back, don't be so polite. As for paying back the money, it depends on what you say to Wentao. Just pay it back to him, not to me."
Seeing that Shen Fei's smile didn't seem fake, Chu Lei and her mother looked much better and were not as nervous as before.
Chu Lei said:
"Uncle, I borrowed this money from Wentao. I have been trying to save money recently. I also have a salary every month. I will pay the money back to Wentao as soon as possible. Don't blame him when you go home. He also wants to help me because he sees that I am in a real difficulty."
The money was borrowed by her, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Shen Wentao.
At first, she borrowed money from Shen Wentao, and Shen Wentao took out a few hundred yuan in total, which was not enough for three thousand.
Later, when Shen Wentao lent her money again, she thought that Shen Wentao went home to ask his father Shen Fei for it. She didn't expect Shen Fei to be unaware of it.
That was three thousand yuan!
If you meet a girl who doesn't have high material requirements, you can marry a wife home!
Shen Wentao took out such a large sum of money, but Shen Fei didn't know it at all!
This kind of thing, in Chu Lei and Chu Lei's mother's opinion, is very outrageous.
Not only the mother and daughter, but also Shen Yong, Lin Cuihong, Shen Su, and Li Weixi who were beside them were all surprised when they heard their conversation.
Shen Wentao was only sixteen years old, but he could lend out such a large sum of money, and he didn't even get his father's consent.
Where did he get so much money?
Could it be that he stole Shen Fei's money?
The few people didn't say anything, but they had all kinds of speculations in their hearts.
Shen Fei smiled and said to Chu Lei:
"Don't worry, Uncle has confidence in his son. He must have his reasons for spending money. I won't blame him for spending money.
The money was given to him, and it was originally for him to use. It's up to him to use it.
I remember that you helped Wentao before, right? You helped him, and he helped you again when you were in trouble. I think it's good, so I won't blame him."
Hearing Shen Fei's explanation and comfort, Chu Lei's hanging heart finally let go.
It's good not to blame Shen Wentao, otherwise she would feel guilty. Shen Wentao helped her, and she also caused trouble for Shen Wentao... and now she can't take out 3,000 yuan to pay it back.
After the explanation, Chu Lei and the others no longer dwelled on this topic. Seeing that Shen Fei and the others were sitting on the stone steps, Chu Lei's mother asked:
"I heard that you came to Chen Dongsheng's house today to discuss marriage. Are you discussing it at the door now? Why don't you go to our house to sit down and have tea and discuss it? It's only two steps away and it's not far to walk over."
"Also, Brother Shen, take these three hens and eggs back with you. If you don't accept them, then we will consider them as ours for you to take to Wentao. Please help me bring some."
After bringing the hens and eggs, Chu's mother had no intention of taking them back. Anyway, if Shen Fei didn't accept them, then she would give them to Shen Wentao and let Shen Fei help take them.
Seeing Chu's mother so enthusiastic, Shen Fei thought about it and accepted the bag they brought.He didn't want the eggs, but the hens.
Their family was already in a difficult situation, and with such a prodigal son, the three laying hens should also be a source of income for them, so they couldn't take them.
After pushing for a while, seeing that Shen Fei insisted on not taking it, Chu's mother didn't force it anymore and invited everyone to their home for tea.
Shen Su, Li Weixi and others thought about it and agreed, and asked Chen Xiaojin, Chen Xiaoyin and others to go to Chu's house together.
On the one hand, she sat down to drink tea and think slowly, and on the other hand, Shen Su also wanted to take the opportunity to personally inquire about Chen Lu's family.
Before everyone went over, Shen Su also asked Chen Xiaojin to say hello to Chen Lu's family, saying that they met friends in Dongchen Village, went to their friends' house for two cups of tea, and would come back later.
Then, they walked to Chu Lei's house together.
Chu Lei's house is an old house from the 1960s and 1970s. It looks a bit old. The house is clean and spacious. Everyone sits on the benches and drinks tea. They all feel that their house is well maintained and tidy.
After entering the house, Shen Su didn't say much. She asked about Chen Lu's family in front of Chen Xiaojin and Chen Xiaoyin.
Chu's mother was also very open and told everything she knew.
It's not a secret. Most of it can be found in Dongchen Village. In the past two or three years, Chen Lu has come to discuss marriage. Chu's mother can remember clearly that there are 9 people who came to discuss marriage. There are also 3 people who can't remember clearly but have heard rumors.
As for Chen Lu's family's requirements, most of the village is very clear about this. The betrothal gift is 6,000, three golds, and a black and white TV is fine.
Then, it is true that Chen Lu's family is arranging a marriage for Chen Lu's fat brother recently. Chu's mother can even ask Chu Lei's aunt to come and talk to her face to face.
"As for their family's character, I can't judge it. What I said are all true things I know. You can also find out in the village."
Mother Chu was not sure whether Shen Su and Chen Lu's family could succeed, so she did not comment much on Chen Lu's family's character, but just talked about some real facts.
Just these facts made Shen Su frown.
She originally thought that the girl who was willing to be with her eldest son, given the situation at her eldest son's home, should be truly in love, free to fall in love, clean, and have good character...
In her original expectation, Chen Lu was full of advantages.
Now... she wanted to persuade Chen Xiaojin to forget it and find another one.
But Chen Xiaojin and Chen Lu had already had a relationship, which was also a difficult problem.
After thinking for a while, Shen Su looked at Chen Xiaojin and asked:
"Xiaojin, after hearing all this, what do you think? Do you want to marry Chen Lu home, or just pretend that nothing happened and find a new partner? Mom wants to hear your thoughts."
