"Second aunt, I fully support my second cousin learning a craft, but the matter of borrowing money..."
"Momo, you helped your second cousin this time. In the future, our whole family will repay you for this favor together."
To be honest, Peng Fang is quite good at making up stories.
If she hadn't seen the other party's face mocking her and Huang Zhiqiu when they went to discuss raising money to treat Yang Xinghua's leg injury, she would have really believed it.
"Second aunt, don't be impatient, just listen to me. You know that Huang Yao and I were taken away by mistake. I have been the daughter of the Yun family for 18 years, while Huang Yao, the legitimate eldest daughter, has suffered in this country for 18 years. Think about it, if you were a member of the Yun family, would you be able to swallow this?"
Of course not!
If it were her, she would have to get back what she spent on her fake daughter with interest.
However, Peng Fang naturally would not tell his true feelings since Yang was asking Yun Mo to borrow money.
"Momo, are you worried that the Yun family will be unhappy if you lend us the money? This is easy, we can just not tell the Yun family."
"Second Aunt, where do you think I got this gold bracelet? You don't think I bought it with the money I earned myself, do you?"
Peng Fang smiled awkwardly and said, "No matter where it came from, it's yours after all. You have the right to dispose of it."
"Second aunt, you are wrong. To be honest, I bought this gold bracelet with the pocket money I saved when I was the eldest daughter of the Yun family. If I were a daughter of the Yun family, I could do whatever I wanted with this gold bracelet, but the problem is that I am not a daughter of the Yun family. I have to return everything I have eaten, used and taken in the Yun family over the years. If I shamelessly occupy things that originally belonged to Huang Yao and do not return them, and anger the Yun family, then not only will I be blamed, but the entire Huang family will suffer."
These words not only frightened Peng Fang, but also Huang Zhiqiu.
Unlike Peng Fang who was worried about being implicated, Huang Zhiqiu was worried about Yun Mo.
She anxiously grabbed Yun Mo and said, "Mo Mo, why don't you not go back to Jiang City and stay in An City. I will find a way to help you find a school for you to continue your studies."
"Mom, there's a saying that goes, 'If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it's inevitable. My household registration is still in Jiang City. It's useless even if I come back. And the Yun family has raised me for 18 years. I can't just leave like this."
Huang Zhiqiu looked at her, with struggle and hesitation on his face, as if he was making some important decision.
"Momo, how about I go back to Jiang City with you?"
Yun Mo was very excited about this proposal. She had no relatives in Jiang City, and having Huang Zhiqiu to live with her would give her a sense of security.
But she soon calmed down.
For some reason, she had a premonition that if Huang Zhiqiu knew about her marriage to Ling Chuan, he would probably not agree to her divorce.
The Yun family is well-known in Jiang City, so they naturally look down on a poor and rough man like Ling Chuan, but the Huang family is different.
The situations of the Huang family and the Ling family are similar, and no one looks down on anyone.
Huang Zhiqiu is kindhearted by nature, and should pay more attention to character and personality when choosing a son-in-law. Although Ling Chuan is a little cold, he is loyal, down-to-earth and hardworking, and he is not bad looking. Maybe Huang Zhiqiu will be very satisfied with Ling Chuan as a son-in-law? "Mom, we will discuss the matter of going to Jiang City later, let's talk about the matter of borrowing money from my second aunt first."
"Second aunt, I was originally going to return this bracelet to the Yun family, but my grandmother's leg injury couldn't wait, so I had no choice but to sell it. I will return all the remaining money to the Yun family, so I really can't help my second cousin with his technical school."
Peng Fang was very disappointed and unwilling, but she was also worried that Yun Mo had angered the Yun family and that her family would be implicated if the Yun family retaliated against her. So she didn't dare to say anything more for a while.
Just as Peng Fang walked out of the Huang family in disappointment and was about to go back to her own home, Yun Mo chased after her from behind.
"Second aunt, I just thought of someone who can help my second cousin."
"Huang Yao."
Peng Fang's eyes lit up. Yes, how could she forget about Huang Yao!
"Huang Yao is the eldest daughter of the Yun family. She has lived in exile since she was a child and has suffered for many years. Her adoptive parents are very kind to her and always respond to her requests. Huang Yao's dressing table is full of jewelry such as gold bracelets. A few hundred yuan is just a month's pocket money for her."
Peng Fang was quite happy when he heard it, but when he thought of Huang Yao's personality, he suddenly felt unsure.
Huang Yao is not someone who is easy to talk to. She is selfish, stingy, and has a lot of tricks on her mind. Even if she has money, he may not be willing to lend it to her.
Yun Mo saw Peng Fang's hesitation and regret, and she naturally guessed her concerns.
"Second aunt, the Yun family is a well-known upper-class family in Jiang City. They pay special attention to face and the education of their children.
For example, we rural people only have one requirement for our daughters-in-law: she must be virtuous, capable, and able to bear children. However, wealthy families have other requirements for their daughters-in-law, besides being virtuous and kind, she must not bring bad reputation.
Second aunt probably doesn't know that Huang Yao is already engaged. The man is from a wealthy family and has a good family background.
This kind of family is particularly concerned about reputation and will never allow their future daughter-in-law to have even the slightest taint."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Peng Fang was confused at first, wondering why Yun Mo was talking to a rural woman like her about all this, until she heard the last sentence and she suddenly realized.
Huang Yao stole money from her family and ran away. If this matter gets to her husband's family, the engagement will probably be ruined, right?
Is she afraid that she can't control Huang Yao with this? Seeing Peng Fang leaving happily, Yun Mo also turned around and walked back in a good mood.
As soon as she pushed open the fence door, Huang Zhiqiu pulled her aside and asked her seriously, "Momo, what were you and your second aunt whispering about for so long outside?"
"I was afraid that my second aunt would be unhappy because she didn't borrow the money, so I chatted with her for a while."
Seeing Huang Zhiqiu was skeptical, Yun Mo quickly changed the subject, "Mom, my adoptive parents value Huang Yao very much and are training her carefully. They even hired several tutors. If you go back with me now, I'm worried that the Yun family will harm you."
When Huang Yao was mentioned, Huang Zhiqiu's mood instantly dropped a lot.
Yun Mo felt a little guilty, but what she said was true. The Yun family had always been agitated by the fact that she and Huang Yao were taken away by mistake, but the Huang family was thousands of miles away, so even if the Yun family wanted to do something, they couldn't reach that far.
But if Huang Zhiqiu took the initiative to come to the door, it is hard to say what the Yun family would do.
At least, she should wait until she has established a firm foothold in Jiang City and is able to protect Huang Zhiqiu before taking him over.
"Mom, please wait a little longer. After I have explained everything to my adoptive parents, I will find a house for you to stay in."
Huang Zhiqiu touched her head with emotion, "Momo, I know you are filial, and I don't have to go, but I am worried about you being alone over there."
"It's okay. Look, I came all the way from Jiang City to see you guys. Am I fine?"
"Then be careful on your way back this time. Don't trust strangers easily, and don't accept things from strangers."
"Don't worry, I'm smart, no one can take advantage of me."
