Chapter 85 Where does the money come from?
All in all, we'll have to set up at least twenty tables.
Although this banquet could not be as sumptuous as the one when Shao Yunduan married Qiao Xuan, there would still be a bowl of chicken and a bowl of meat.
Even though Yang Liang and his wife are hateful, it is his own son's marriage after all, and Yang Xiaoni will live with him for the rest of her life, so this marriage cannot be too shabby than the fifth brother's marriage. Otherwise, even if Yang Xiaoni has no objection now, it is hard to say whether she will be unhappy when she thinks about it in the future.
Fang didn't want this matter to cause discord between her son and daughter-in-law, so she wanted to do her best to handle it.
But where does the money come from?
Before going to bed at night, Fang sat at the head of the bed, counting on her fingers as she calculated the amount for Uncle Shao one by one. At least, it would be around two taels of silver.
But the problem is that the betrothal gift has already drained all the money from the family, so where would they get two taels of silver?
"Who would have thought that Duan'er would be married right after the wedding and it would be the third brother's turn. If it had been delayed for another two years, it would have been fine, but unfortunately - Qiao has already helped to get ten taels of silver for the betrothal gift. Although she has her reasons to explain, we should understand in our hearts that it was her kindness to care about us! We can never ask her for the money for the third brother's wedding."
"It's not possible to borrow. We can't start this. Besides, if I borrow, Qiao will definitely not ask for it to be returned. What will happen then?"
"I'm not afraid to say this to you shamelessly. When we go to the provincial and municipal examinations next year, how can we afford the money? At that time, we will have to use Qiao's money. Alas, he is her husband anyway. We have no choice but to do this."
The implication is that it is even less likely that Shao Sanlang will ask Qiao Xuan for money for his marriage.
You can't bully her just because she is rich, right?
Uncle Shao also became worried after hearing this, "Is it true that our family can't afford two taels of silver?"
Fang sneered: "Don't you know whether you can afford it or not?"
Uncle Shao's eyes wandered and he was speechless for a moment.
The second and third brothers' families were not doing well, and they would come to borrow money several times a year. He, he naturally knew about this.
"How about I ask my second and third brothers tomorrow to see if they have any and if I can borrow some first."
Fang sneered in her heart, but said, "This is the best! You can try it tomorrow. If it doesn't work, think of another way!"
So early the next morning, Uncle Shao went to the second and third rooms to borrow money.
The result is predictable.
"Brother, my family still relies on you for support. You know that I don't have any spare money to help you! If I did, I would definitely give it to you! We are family, so why would we talk about lending or not lending? It's too distant!"
"Oh, big brother, Liu Lang is studying now. We are living a tight life and are hoping that you can help us. Where can I lend you money?"
"Brother, why don't you ask Mrs. Qiao? Mrs. Qiao has so much dowry, what is two taels of silver? It would be more than that if she slipped through her fingers."
"Brother, ask Qiao. Qiao has wasted so much money buying those wastelands and messing around with those useless things. Could it be that they are unwilling to give it to you for your own business? That would be too unfilial!"
Uncle Shao was blocked by their few words and felt very depressed.
He had a vague feeling that they actually had some money, but since they said so, maybe he was misinterpreting it?
As for Qiao, I feel really embarrassed to borrow from him!
Uncle Shao looked depressed and worried.
