Chapter 38 The lion opens its mouth

The second aunt said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't Xiaoyu hunt four wild boars some time ago? They must have sold them for a lot of money. Also, didn't the county magistrate send your family some silver as a reward? You must have a hundred taels." "

"We are in urgent need of money. Can you lend it to us first? When we have enough money, we will return it to you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang sneered again and again, "Second sister-in-law is really a good wife who knows how to live a good life. Since she even knows how much money the married sister-in-law has in her family, it is really admirable."

The second uncle noticed the change in the atmosphere and gently kicked the second aunt to signal her not to continue this topic.

But the second aunt didn't understand what he meant. She thought to herself, since the fifth aunt's family has money, why can't it be lent to them first? When her grandson marries a daughter-in-law and collects the dowry from her grandson-in-law, she can return it to them.

After thinking and saying this, Ms. Yang really lost all the smile on her face this time, and said sarcastically: "Second sister-in-law, how dare you think about it. The dowry of the new daughter-in-law is someone else's personal belongings. What's your idea?" Aren’t you afraid that someone will break your spine?”

Hearing this, the second sister-in-law was also annoyed and her face darkened: "Why not? My family spent a lot of money to marry her back, not just to raise her in vain. They used her dowry to cash in and borrowed money to marry her. Who could Dare you say what I am wrong about?"

No matter in which era, dowry is a woman's private property and no one can touch it. This is an eternal truth. The second aunt's words were like a fire, which angered the Yang family.

He scolded: "Second sister-in-law, I have no right to interfere with your thoughts. As your sister, I have lent you a lot of money over the years..."

For decades, the three brothers always came to borrow money every now and then, borrowing one or two hundred cash each time.

Over the years, except for the eldest brother and the third child, there has been no movement at all. Knowing that the brother and sister-in-law were having a hard time, the couple never urged him to return the money.

This time, the second sister-in-law actually wanted to borrow the couple's life savings. Yang felt that the sincerity she had given over the years had fed the dog, and her heart sank, and she said firmly: "In the past, you had no money to pay back, and Yu'er's father and I never pressed you, but this time, even if we sever this relationship, Regardless of the relationship, I won’t agree to Yu’er’s father lending you a hundred taels.”

This sentence is like a huge stone thrown into water, causing ripples.

In Qingshan Town, one tael of silver can buy 700 kilograms of rice, which is 350 kilograms. According to the standard of one hundred and ten star coins for twenty-five kilograms of rice, converted into star coins is one thousand five hundred and forty star coins, and one hundred taels is one hundred five thousand and forty star coins.

This number is difficult for most people to save in a lifetime.

The second aunt wants to borrow 150,000 yuan as soon as she asks. This is simply forcing people to death, or trying to empty other people's wealth.

Gu Yu looked at Gu Wu and Yang who looked unhappy and said: "Uncle, I also have money. If you are willing, let my father lend you five taels of silver. If you are not willing, you can handle it according to your own situation. It’s about the iron pillar.”

In her opinion, as much skill as you have, you can eat as much as you want. The second uncle's family is in worse condition than the first uncle's family. Why do you have to look at girls from the wrong family?
Let’s not talk about spending so much money to marry a daughter-in-law and whether she will have conflicts with her family because of different opinions and habits. With the second aunt’s thoughts, she will never think about harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.

The second aunt heard Gu Yu's words and said dissatisfiedly: "How much money can you use for a child? Tiezhu's wife's mother-in-law has said that she will give her a dowry of ten acres of paddy fields, ten acres of fertile land, and two shops. I'll borrow the money from your family first. Give it to us and return it to you when the time comes, and you can mess with it again.”

Gu Yu: "..." Listening to the words that came out of his mouth, it seemed as if the money belonged to his family.

The person who gave the most gifts to a married woman in the village only had ten taels of silver. She was willing to borrow five taels because she had already borrowed it for her uncle's sake.

Don't be afraid of five taels of silver. If you have the ability, go and earn it yourself!

There are other people who can have such a generous dowry, but can their daughter really be spoiled by a village woman like you?
The second aunt wants to use the other party's dowry to pay off the debt, but she is afraid that she is daydreaming and is shameless.

Gu Wu and Yang were confused by this. They didn't understand what it was about Yang Tiezhu that a girl with such superior conditions wanted to marry into such a family.

But the conditions of the other party have nothing to do with them. Gu Wu put down his chopsticks and said: "To be honest with you, Yu'er plans to buy a house in the town to prepare for getting married. It is impossible for me to lend you a hundred taels, as Yu'er said He said, if you are willing, as a young man, I can lend you five taels of silver to use for things first. If you are not willing, you can find a way on your own. As a father, it is impossible for me to lend all my family wealth without considering the future of my daughter. You guys, let Tiezhu get a wife."

"Oh! Brother-in-law!" The second sister-in-law tried to interrupt, "Listen to me, Tie Zhu's wife is the third daughter of a wealthy landlord in the town. It will also be helpful to Xiao Yu when Qian Qian marries my Tie Zhu. You... …”

Gu Wu smiled and interrupted her: "Second sister-in-law, don't say such things for now. The relationship between Xiao Yu and Tie Zhu is that of elder and junior. I understand better than anyone else that the people Xiao Yu can rely on are, in the end, hers." Brothers. I don’t care if the Qian family can provide help to Xiao Yu. In this busy time, we, the couple, really can’t lend a helping hand.”

"Oh! Fifth brother-in-law, you are really annoying, so stubborn!" The second aunt turned her head to one side in anger, but immediately turned her head back and started nagging again: "I'm telling you..."

The second uncle who had been silent finally said: "Okay, let's stop this matter. My brother-in-law is right, Xiaoyu has grown up, and it is really time to start preparations. We will find another way to pay for Tiezhu's wife."

well! This kid Tie Zhu didn't listen to his advice and did something like that. Otherwise, he would have been so humble and borrowing money from everywhere to take care of his marriage.

The second aunt was not happy after hearing this, "Fifth sister and her family are so rich, why can't they help us? Tiezhu's life is good for their family too!"

Mrs. Yang slammed the table, stood up and put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Bah! As the old saying goes, "A married girl is like water thrown out." I am no longer a member of the Yang family. I used to do it for my parents' sake. Come on, we, husband and wife, respect you as brother and sister-in-law, and help you in everything. Now you are using the name of my grandson to get a wife to wipe out all my family assets, and say nonsense that is good for my daughter."

When she was so excited, Yang slammed another bowl and said loudly: "My daughter's surname is Gu, not Yang. Even if your family is extremely rich in the future, my daughter will not be able to get involved. Since you don't look down on Wu Two taels of silver, then you won’t get a penny, get out of my house immediately tomorrow morning!”

After cursing, he returned to the room without looking back.

The second aunt looked at the broken pieces of dishes and chopsticks on the floor, and felt unjust in her heart like a tide. She felt that Mr. Yang looked down on their family.

I wanted to scold Mr. Yang, but I thought they were here to borrow money today, so they couldn't start a quarrel just because of pleasure.

She thought silently in her heart: When her grandson will live a good life in the future and get help from the Qian family, Yang will ask her to help him with things, and then he and Yang will settle today's accounts.
