Chapter 134 Borrowing Money
The next morning, someone walked into the courtyard and called out, "Are you home, brother and sister-in-law?"
Wang Guixiang, who was hanging clothes, turned around and didn't react for a moment when she saw someone coming.
The person who came said, "Hey, Guixiang is hanging clothes. Xier, go and help your cousin."
"Yeah." Lin Xi was reluctant in his heart, but walked forward obediently.
Wang Guixiang hurriedly stopped him from touching it.
At this time, Zhao Suying walked out of the room and saw the person coming. She couldn't help but feel that the sun was rising from the west.
Isn’t this Old Lady Li’s daughter, Li Chunyan?
Since she got married, she has hardly had any contact with the first wife for more than ten years, but today she came to his house.
Li Chunyan saw Zhao Suying and walked over to her with a warm look on her face: "Sister-in-law, I came to see you and brother. Where is your brother?"
"It's Chunyan. I haven't seen you in so many years that I almost didn't recognize you. Your brother is in the backyard. Guixiang, go call your father."
Li Chunyan's face froze. She didn't expect that Zhao Suying's first sentence would clearly state that the two families had not had any contact for many years.
Wang Guixiang immediately went to the backyard to call for help, and only then did she find out who this person was.
Zhao Suying invited the mother and daughter into the main room, poured them a bowl of water, and Li Youshan also came over.
Li Chunyan hurriedly called out "Big Brother" and turned to give Lin Xi a wink.
Lin Xi called out obediently: "Uncle, Aunt."
"Sit down."
Li Chunyan looked around as soon as she entered the room. Although it was still the same shabby courtyard, the spirit of the eldest family was obviously different.
The clothes she was wearing were new, and the house had also bought some new items. She also saw that Sun Xiuqin was wearing a silver hairpin on her head.
Sure enough, my eldest brother's family has become prosperous. I just heard from my mother and second brother that a distinguished person came to the eldest family's house yesterday and brought a lot of things.
Although everyone said that they were bottles and jars used by the two parties to do business, who knew what they were?
The eldest brother is so heartless. After he became rich, he didn't even take care of the second brother's family. He spent all the money he earned on himself. How could that be acceptable?
The more Li Chunyan thought about it, the more she felt that she must marry into her eldest brother's family.
If my daughter can live a good life in the future, it would be reasonable for her to help her parents.
Then she would give the money to her parents and second brother so that they wouldn't have to work so hard.
Li Youshan saw the mother and daughter glancing at each other and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Li Chunyan smiled and said, "Brother, I came here to see my parents. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you."
"We are fine. My leg injury has healed. How about I walk a few steps for you?"
Li Chunyan smiled awkwardly: "Brother has always been in good health, a small injury is nothing. By the way, where are Dachuan Sandong and the others?"
"I'm working in the fields. I was just about to go to the fields. I didn't expect you to come."
The implication of this statement is obvious.
Li Chunyan pretended not to understand: "Brother, why don't Xier and I help you do it? If there are more people, we can finish it faster."
"No need. It's not easy for you to come here. You should stay in the old house for a while to accompany your parents."
Seeing that Li Dashan didn't respond, Li Chunyan didn't waste any more words. She said with an embarrassed look on her face: "Brother, we are blood relatives after all. Although our two families don't often interact, I miss you very much in my heart. Alas, there are some things I really don't know how to say."
"Then don't say anything. Whatever you do will embarrass yourself."
"Brother, my father-in-law was ill a few days ago, and we spent a lot of money. My son is getting married, and we don't even have the money to build a house for him to get married. Brother, can you lend me some money? It doesn't have to be much, just twenty taels will be fine. We will definitely remember your kindness and pay you back with interest in the future."
Li Youshan was almost laughing out of anger. Twenty taels, it would take an ordinary family eight or ten years to save up that much.
How dare she ask for it, saying it's a loan, but when has she ever returned it?
I've borrowed from him before and never paid him back.
Ever since the family split up, he hasn't lent her any money, so she doesn't have any contact with them.
Li Youshan sighed with a sad face: "Yanzi, look at my yard. It rained heavily outside and drizzled inside a few days ago. Sandong is old enough to get married, but he still lives with Xiaoan and Xiaokang. I am thinking of building a house, but I am short of money. Can you lend me some first? Not much, just twenty taels will be fine. When I build the house and buy furniture, I will save up money to pay you back."
Li Chunyan's face froze and she didn't believe it.
Everyone knows that he has made a lot of money these days. Yesterday, a wealthy family came to his house and brought some good things.
It would have been fine if he didn't lend her the money, but he actually dared to cheat her. What a miser.
"Brother, if I had silver, I would lend you a hundred taels, not to mention twenty taels. But I really don't have any. I am such a proud person, why would I ask you for money if I wasn't in real trouble?
"Brother, please help me. Didn't a wealthy family come to your house yesterday? Just giving me some of the gifts will be enough to solve my current predicament."
"They came to discuss business and asked us to help make something. Is it stupid to be a businessman? They have too much money and don't know where to spend it, so they come to give me something?
You can believe it if you want to. If you don't, I can't help it. My family still needs to save money to build a house. Otherwise, we won't be able to find a wife even if we build three houses. I really don't have the money to lend you."
Seeing that he was not interested, Li Chunyan stopped talking so as not to annoy him.
Compared to borrowing money, it is more important to let Xier marry Sandong.
She said a few polite words and left.
After leaving the Li family's courtyard, Lin Xi said unwillingly, "Mom, are we just going to let it go?"
"Forget it? No way. I'll go back and tell your grandmother to let you live in their house first. Xue'er, you have to find a way to make Li Sandong fall in love with you. Li Sandong is beautiful, and it's not unfair for you to marry her, not to mention that his family is now on the rise.
If he refuses, you should find a way to force him to marry you. Look, Mrs. Sun is wearing a silver hairpin, and the girl Xiaolan is wearing a pearl flower on her head.
Their family must be rich. The foundation at the end of the village has been laid, and they will build a house soon. If you marry Sandong, will you still worry about not having a good life in the future?
When the time comes, you can teach your parents how to do business, and we can make more money."
"Mom, I understand." Lin Xi responded. She had seen Li Sandong before. There was no man more handsome than him in the surrounding area.
Now that he has money again, it would be a good idea to marry him.
Most people are like this. When they have no money, they ignore everyone, but when they have money, they want to get close to everyone and take advantage of them.
This day was Yang Lianer's wedding day. Some villagers went to help, while others went to join in the fun.
Qin Yuzhen came to find Li Wanyue, and seeing that there was something exciting to watch, she also pulled Li Wanyue over to watch.
A suona sound was heard, and a donkey cart decorated with red cloth flowers slowly entered the village. This donkey cart belonged to the Cao family. It had a carriage at the back and wedding characters were pasted on both sides of the cart.
Cao Wenxing was wearing a red wedding dress, riding on a donkey, and bowing to the villagers on both sides of the road.
The matchmaker sat on the carriage, and several people who came to welcome the bride followed behind.
