Then came the phone call Han Shigang made to Han Yunqi.
Although Han Yunlong didn't hide his thoughts from his parents, saying, "My second brother is so rich, even if we write an IOU, do you think he can really ask us for it back?"
But Han Shigang, who had been honest and upright all his life, couldn't help but pretend to be confused and promised to repay the money in the future.
But it's just a promise, and whether it can actually be repaid... well, that's hard to say.
Han Shigang knew perfectly well what was going on, and Han Yunqi wasn't stupid either.
"Lend it? If it's not good, then don't lend it." Han Yunqi sighed. As relatives, his uncle's family really hadn't done anything to wrong them, except for what his parents told him about the past. Back then, when Han Shiping quit his job to start his own business, his parents and his brothers didn't offer any help.
But at that time, Han Shigang's family really didn't have much money. They didn't have the ability, so it's no one's fault but theirs.
As the eldest of the brothers, it must be quite difficult for Han Shigang to ask a junior for money.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't object. How could she object? Although she had a strong intuition that Han Yunlong's choice, so different from his previous life, wouldn't be a good thing, what could she say?
He chose this path himself, and he has to bear the consequences himself.
As for whether the other party could repay the loan, neither of them cared. They were relatives, so they treated it as a gift.
Since it involved two families, Han Yunqi called his father, Han Shiping, who remained silent for a long time before finally saying nothing.
Guo Mingli was somewhat indignant, but since her husband and son had already agreed, there was little point in her having any objections.
"Well, now that my son has made something of himself, everyone's scrambling to get a piece of his pie. When we needed help back then, who cared? They all just hid like cowards!"
"Then what do you suggest? It's rare for my brother's family to ask for help. It's not like we don't have the ability; if we don't lend money, no one can say anything. Everyone knows our son and daughter-in-law are big business owners. If we don't help our relatives when they're in trouble, are we just asking for trouble and people to talk behind our backs?"
Han Shiping took a drag of his cigarette in frustration.
"Besides, didn't my brother say he'd write an IOU? It's not like he's not going to pay it back."
"Pah! He'll pay back? What will he use to pay back? That sounds nice! What if he says he has no money? Are you going to hold a knife to his throat? If he were a complete stranger, it would be better to sue him if he didn't pay back the money. But he's your own brother, can you really sue him?"
Guo Mingli leaned against the headboard in resentment.
Han Shiping understood this principle, but Guo Mingli also said that it was his own brother. His own brother was asking his son for help to get a wife; how could he object? And what about his relationship with his old buddies afterward?
Guo Mingli felt increasingly frustrated. She had long since severed ties with her family and didn't visit them during holidays, so she didn't have this problem.
She disliked her husband's family, but her husband valued relationships and wanted to maintain a facade of affection, so she couldn't say anything.
"Xiaoxiao has a whole bunch of relatives, but I've never heard of any of them coming over to freeload. Our family has so many problems; I wonder how much our daughter-in-law is complaining about it," Guo Mingli muttered.
"Xiaoxiao isn't as petty as you," Han Shiping blurted out, only realizing his mistake afterward.
Sure enough, Guo Mingli's attention was immediately diverted. No woman wants to hear that she is inferior to others, not even at her age!
