Chapter 103 What a waste!
"Talk about something? What is it?"
As soon as Cen Yan opened her mouth, all the disdain in Cen Fang's eyes came out again.
She glanced at Cen Yan with disdain, frowned and scolded, "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Cen Dahai again, "Second brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but when did our family lose all its rules? How can a little girl like Cen Yan casually comment on adults' affairs? Why don't you discipline her properly!"
"My eldest sister hasn't been home for a long time, so she may not know much about the situation at home."
Cen Dahai frowned when he heard Cen Fang's contemptuous tone towards his daughter. "Now our second branch is all run by Xiaoyan. If my eldest sister wants to borrow money, it's useless to tell me. She needs Xiaoyan's approval."
"She's the head of the family? She nodded? Then what's the point of having you as the father?! If you don't want to lend me money, just say so! I was the one who took care of you when you were a child, but now I know that you're an ungrateful and ungrateful person!" Cen Fang had no patience with the second wife to begin with, and when she heard this, she thought he was just making an excuse because he didn't want to lend me money at all, and she got annoyed immediately.
She was also talking about the kindness she showed Cen Dahai in taking care of him when he was young.
"I, that's not what I meant!" Upon hearing this, a trace of guilt appeared on Cen Dahai's face, and he hurriedly explained.
"Hmph, then tell me, you and your sister-in-law are still alive in the second house, so what's the big deal about letting a little girl be the head of the family?" Seeing that his words softened, Cen Fang's aura also softened a little.
"Xiaoyan has grown up and can be the head of the family. Wenjuan has no opinions of her own and is short-sighted, so she is not suitable to be the head of the family. As for me, I was injured this time and almost lost my life. It was Xiaoyan who found a way to save me. During those days, all the burdens of the second house fell on her shoulders, and she carried them up. Compared with Wenjuan and me, Xiaoyan is more suitable to be the head of the family." Cen Dahai explained in a good voice.
Cen Fang is his eldest sister after all.
An eldest sister is like a mother.
On this point, he and Cen Dajiang have the same idea.
If Cen Dahai was extremely disappointed with Old Man Cen, Old Lady Cen, and other people in the Cen family, then he still had a kind of childish admiration for Cen Fang.
He respected this elder sister who had taken care of him when he was a child.
It can also be said that Cen Dahai is a very loyal person who knows how to be grateful.
He said this now because he hoped his elder sister could understand him.
The second house has always had a hard time, and letting Cen Yan, a child alone, to head the family would be a cause of sympathy for anyone who sees it.
If Cen Fang really treated him as a younger brother, he would not have pressed him any further.
However, his desire was destined to be unfulfilled.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Isn't it just a broken head? Is it that serious? So serious that you can't even say a word or lend some money to your sister?" Cen Fang didn't sympathize with him at all. She spoke sarcastically in a light tone.
When Cen Dahai heard this, the remaining light in his eyes suddenly went out.
It's not that harsh to say this.
Cen Fang didn't say a single dirty word, and he wasn't as harsh as he was when he dealt with Gao.
But all of a sudden, he felt extremely disappointed.
Cen Yan saw all of this.
She didn't interrupt just now because she wanted to see what would happen between Cen Fang and her father.
Now seeing my father’s disappointed face, I feel a little sorry for him.
But on the other hand, this is also a good thing.
If he was not completely disappointed with everyone in the Cen family, how could he agree to split the family?
"Aunt, you keep asking my father to lend you money, so it's not impossible to lend you this money." Cen Yan finally spoke at this time. She paused, smiled harmlessly at Cen Fang, and then directly stretched out her hand.
"What do you mean?" Cen Fang frowned, not understanding what Cen Yan was going to do.
"Pay back the money." Cen Yan said seriously, "As the saying goes, if you borrow, you must pay back. It's not difficult to borrow again. Aunt, you have been borrowing money from our second house over the years. I just counted it while you were talking to my father and found that it was exactly fifty taels. How about you pay back the money first? As long as you pay back the money, I can lend you money again immediately! How about it?"
"Bah!"
Without waiting for Cen Fang to say anything, Old Lady Cen spat at Cen Yan.
She glared at Cen Yan fiercely, "I think you are crazy about money! How can your second house have fifty taels of silver to lend to your eldest aunt?!"
"Of course there is none, grandma. I will tell you everything in detail." Cen Yan was not afraid of old lady Cen at all. As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, one by one. "I can't remember anything earlier, so I will only talk about the period since I can remember, which is after I was six years old.
"When I was six years old, my brother fell ill, and my eldest aunt came back to borrow money. At that time, my father had just received a share of silver from selling grain that season, and it wasn't much, just five taels of silver. The silver hadn't even warmed up in his hands when he lent it to my eldest aunt. My eldest aunt said at the time that as long as my brother recovered from his illness, she would return the silver to my father immediately. But now my brother is ten years old, and I haven't seen my eldest aunt return the silver to my father.
"When I was eight years old, my eldest uncle said that he could not afford to buy pens, inkstones, and paper. My eldest aunt went back to her parents' home to ask for money. My father went to the county town to work and earned six taels of silver. As soon as my eldest aunt asked for money, my father lent it out.
"In the same year, my father and mother got married. The dowry that mother brought was taken away by my grandparents. My mother did have ten taels of silver in her hand, which was prepared for the New Year. My eldest aunt returned to her parents' home just as winter began, saying that my eldest uncle would go to the county to take the exam the following year. As long as he passed the exam, he could go to study in several famous academies in Xiangyao County, so she borrowed the ten taels of silver again! Alas, what a pity! Until now, my eldest uncle has not been admitted to the academy. In this respect, he is really not as good as my cousin Han! He is only nineteen this year, but he has already studied in the county school for a year!
"besides……"
She listed them one by one in detail, and when she got to the end, she curled her lips and smiled, "I just realized that I had underestimated five taels. The total is exactly fifty-five taels of silver, not more or less. Aunt, please return the fifty-five taels of silver to our second house first. I just need to use it to cancel the marriage. I promise that as soon as I cancel the marriage, I will immediately find a way to lend money to you, aunt!"
Cen Yan's words were sharp, and some of them were meant to hit Cen Fang and Zhao Wuyan in the heart.
When she finished speaking, both Cen Fang and Zhao Wuyan looked gloomy.
Old Man Cen and Old Lady Cen frowned as they listened.
Why do I suddenly feel that since Cen Fang borrowed money from the second wife so many times, she also borrowed money from the first wife at the same time?
And it seems that Cen Fang rarely goes back to her parents' home, but whenever she comes back, she asks for money...
The problem is that this Zhao Wuyan is really incompetent!
I don’t know how much money we’ve given him, but he still can’t even get into a college!
What a waste!
