Chapter 390 Lu Sixing Borrows Money
Da Niu is always meticulous, so it's normal that he could sense that something was wrong with Boss Yuan.
I just don't know why Old Master Yuan insists on his parents and brothers severing ties with Yuan Shanchuan. Surely Yuan Shanchuan isn't a son of the Yuan family?
Shu Yu shook her head, refusing to continue thinking about such a ridiculous reason.
She turned her head to look at the Yuan family's courtyard and said in a low voice, "We don't know what he's up to right now. Let's keep an eye on him and find out when we have time."
Da Niu nodded. "I'm also worried that he might harm my fourth aunt and uncle. I always feel that he has ill intentions."
Shu Yu, “…” There’s no need to use the word “also”. She’s not worried about what Yuan Laoda wants to do to Fourth Aunt and the others. In her opinion, Yuan Laoda is only so bold. He’d be scared half to death if he went to the yamen. He wouldn’t do anything like murder or arson.
She was just curious.
However, Shu Yu didn't explain anything; let Da Niu misunderstand if he wants.
The two stood outside for a while, and then Lu Sixing suddenly ran out.
She ran straight up to Shu Yu, looked at her, then at Da Niu, and hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Da Niu understood and quickly said, "I'll go in and see if there's anything I can help with. A Yu, you keep Fourth Aunt company."
Shu Yu nodded, and Da Niu turned and ran back to the Yuan family's courtyard.
Lu Sixing then looked up at Shu Yu, but didn't know how to start the conversation, her hands nervously clutching her clothes.
"Fourth Aunt, is there something you want to ask me?"
"I..." Lu Sixing was a little embarrassed to speak. She wasn't actually very familiar with Shu Yu. Although Shu Yu had helped her a few times, they had never spoken to each other privately.
Lu Sixing knew nothing about her niece who had been missing for many years, and therefore felt increasingly lost as she thought about what to say next.
"Fourth Aunt, just tell me directly. I will definitely help if I can."
Lu Sixing took a deep breath before whispering, "Ah, Ah Yu, could your aunt borrow some money from you?"
She kept her head down, and after saying the first thing, the rest was much easier. "Don't worry, once I have the money, Auntie will pay you back immediately. You can write an IOU, and Auntie will put her fingerprint on it to guarantee she won't renege on your promise. Me too..."
How much do you want to borrow?
"ah?"
"How many?"
Lu Sixing pursed her lips, feeling even more embarrassed. "Ten, ten taels of silver."
"Is it for the Yuan family elders?"
Lu Sixing nodded, "Yes, the money has been given to them, and this matter is now completely settled."
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows. When she left just now, Yuan Laoda had asked her fourth aunt's husband for twenty taels of silver to buy out his retirement, but now that amount had been cut in half.
Actually, it wasn't half; Yuan Shanchuan had to give a total of twelve taels of silver.
Old Master Yuan was eager to ask for an exorbitant amount, since his parents would be relying on him for their old age, and once he received the money, it would surely end up in his pocket.
Although Yuan Shanchuan was injured and disappointed and heartbroken with his parents and brothers, his mind was clear.
After some haggling with Boss Yuan and with the mediation of Village Chief Chen and others, the pension was finally set at twelve taels.
After giving the two elders of the Yuan family this money, Yuan Shanchuan had nothing to do with them anymore, and he no longer needed to care about their lives, health, or death.
Of course, the reverse is also true.
