"Look at this, look at this! I told you guys to borrow money and not pay it back, and you're still trying to make excuses!"

"My parents passed away and left a lot of land to us siblings. We gave it to you to farm, and not only did we not get a penny in rent, but you also took over our house. How could you forget such a big thing?"

Lin Dongming: ...

This damn girl is still here bringing up old grudges!

"Jiuyue girl, your family's land and house are all in the old village, and I didn't take them either."

Lin Jiuyue smacked her lips.

"That's right. I won't ask you for the money for the house and the land. Can you just give me the rent for the land for the past two years?"

Lin Dongming was stunned when he heard this.

The rent for the land? I can barely afford to eat, how can I pay the rent?

"Jiuyue girl, I am your uncle. How can you ask me for this money? Besides, you eat the crops you grow, don't you? The crops you and your sister eat can cover the rent."

Lin Jiuyue thought about it.

The little food that the original owner and his brother ate was all leftovers from Lin Dongming's family.

If it were me, I would be so embarrassed that I would even feed it to my dog, but they have the nerve to bring it up. I really give them face.

However, I am not such a stingy person. If they say it is a settlement, then so be it.

"If you say you want to settle it, then let's settle it. This way, we can be considered even if we owe each other nothing."

Lin Dongming was stunned.

No one owes anything to anyone? How can that be possible?

If they really didn't owe each other anything, then wouldn't I have no excuse to "borrow money" from Lin Jiuyue?

"September girl, that's not how you say it. Family love is the most precious thing in this world. How can it be measured by these things?"

Lin Jiuyue couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"My sister and I ate some of your food, and you said it paid for the rent. Isn't that what you said? Why are you saying now that family affection can't be measured by these things?"

Lin Dongming stammered twice.

"Well, that's not what you said."

"Oh? That's not what I said. Then how did you say it? Tell me."

Lin Dongming opened his mouth.

Seeing that Lin Dongming had nothing to say, Lin Jiuyue thought that Lin Dongming would not say anything shameless again.

Unexpectedly, Lin Dongming said something that shocked Lin Jiuyue and made her jaw drop.

"I'm your uncle, so I'm your elder. I'm borrowing some money from you because your father and I are brothers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you for the loan."

The people around him started to blush for Lin Dongming when they heard what he said.

"I used to think Lin Dongming and his family were lazy, but I never thought they could be so shameless."

"Isn't it? We've lost all our face following here."

"If it weren't for the village chief, I wouldn't come here to embarrass myself."

The villagers of Xiangyang Village blushed and took two steps back. As long as the village chief said to go back, the villagers of Xiangyang Village would retreat immediately.

When Village Chief Liu heard this, he was also shocked by Lin Dongming's shamelessness.

What kind of shitty vision does my son have? He actually fell in love with the daughter of such a family.

As the saying goes, like father, like daughter. This father is already such a horrible person, how can his daughter be any better?

Although my family is not rich, we live a pretty good life in the village.

If I marry the daughter of the Lin family, will my family still be able to live a good life?

Thinking of this, Village Chief Liu couldn't help but shudder.

No, I must have a good talk with my good-for-nothing son when I get home. You can't marry this girl from the Lin family!

"In that case, then just treat my father as your father, not your brother."

When Lin Dongming heard this, he jumped up in anger.

"How can this be possible?"

"From what you say, are you determined to get some benefits from me today?"

A hint of coldness appeared in Lin Jiuyue's eyes.

"Sister Jiuyue, my father is not good at talking, so please don't bother with him."

Seeing that Lin Dongming couldn't handle Lin Jiuyue, Lin Jinlian had to step forward.

"You can speak, then you speak."

Lin Jinlian sighed softly.

"Sister Jiuyue, our family is really having a hard time right now. We have no choice but to come to you for help. Please help us for the sake of our relationship."

"Don't worry, we will definitely pay you back the money we borrowed from you today."

It is better to believe that you are a goddess descending from heaven than to believe that Lin Dongming's family will pay back the money they borrowed!

"That's easy. It's just a loan of money. Just write the IOU and specify what you'll pledge as collateral if you don't pay it back by the due date."

Lin Jinlian: ...

Mortgage? My family is broke, and we even rent a house. We haven't even paid the rent yet. What can we mortgage?

Lin Jiuyue said this, obviously to embarrass herself.

"Sister Jiuyue, we don't have anything valuable at home. If we did, we wouldn't be asking you for help."

Lin Jiuyue looked at Lin Jinlian with a smile.

"Nothing valuable? How is that possible? Aren't your valuables right here?"

Lin Jinlian was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"Sister Jiuyue, what valuable things are you talking about?"

Lin Jiuyue pursed her lips.

"You are, aren't you? Oh, and there's Lin Jinshan! One of you is young and beautiful, and the other is strong and strong. You can both be sold at a high price. However, since you can't read, you're not worth much either. At most..."

Lin Jiuyue thought about it.

"Well, it's only worth twenty taels of silver at most, so for two people that's forty taels of silver."

"As for Lin Dongming and Liu Xiaohua, they're older and not worth that much silver. If you want to borrow some silver, I can only lend you 40 taels at most. However, you and your brother must serve as collateral."

"If you agree, I will give you the money as soon as I write this IOU."

Lin Jinlian frowned.

They came here under the pretext of borrowing money, but in fact they never thought about paying it back.

Now that Lin Jiuyue asked me to write a promissory note, what should I do?

"Sister Jiuyue, we need to discuss this matter."

Lin Jiuyue made a 'casual' gesture.

"You guys take your time to discuss it. There's no rush. I have plenty of time."

Just because Lin Jiuyue has time to wait doesn’t mean the villagers of Xiangyang Village also have time to wait.

"Lin Dongming, if you and your family want to discuss this, please hurry up. We all have things to do at home. How can we waste time here with you?"

Village Chief Liu had a bad impression of Lin Dongming since he heard the conversation between Lin Dongming and Lin Jiuyue, and now his impression of him is even worse.

Therefore, the tone of his speech was not much better.
