Mr. Qiao made this trip for another reason.
Seeing her like this, I said, "Sister Juan, don't be so picky at this time."
Let's relax the conditions a bit.
Even if the other party's family background is not good, it doesn't matter, because you and your brother-in-law will be watching over them.
In my opinion, you should first observe what kind of person the other person is, and then look at their family situation.
If there are many children and the mother-in-law is difficult to get along with, then it won't work.
Xiaofeng is intelligent, but she's a bit too soft-hearted. It would be best if she found someone from a small family with easy-going in-laws.
Wang Yunjuan nodded absentmindedly. If she could, she would love to go and organize the things in the warehouse right now.
Let's see which ones are suitable for betrothal and which ones are suitable for dowry.
The fact that both of her children were getting married at once left her feeling a bit overwhelmed.
The key issue is that Xiaofeng still doesn't have a marriage prospect.
Seeing her like that, Qiao didn't waste any more time and directly stated the main purpose of her visit.
"Sister Juan, can you lend me some money?"
As you know, I don't have much money available right now.
Originally, I wanted to stay at home for a few days until I was sure we hadn't caught the disease, and then I would swallow my pride and go to the government office to ask Lord Fang to be my witness.
Then I wrote back to Jinling, and when my mother and the others sent the silver over at the end of the month or the beginning of next month, I gave them the money to build her workshop.
But given the current situation, I've received this information, so I suppose I might be caught in the crossfire.
She probably won't stay here any longer. Once she leaves, I'll have to come up with the money if I want to cooperate.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yunjuan mustered her spirits and asked:
"Are you really broke right now? Your family isn't doing well financially, yet they're still giving you money?"
She assumed that Jiao Niang borrowed money from her at the Qin family's house today because she hadn't brought enough with her when she left.
Mrs. Qiao sighed and said helplessly:
“The situation is special. Even if my mother and the others have to go out and borrow, they will still manage to borrow this money for me.”
Furthermore, this morning when my husband went out, he took all that silver with him and didn't leave me any at all.
I have less than three hundred taels left.
This money is to be used to rebuild Tongfu Restaurant.
We'll rebuild two restaurants first, one in Anping County and one in Jianzhou Prefecture.
Each restaurant has three floors, and the roof tiles, wood, and interior decorations all cost a lot of money.
"Let alone less than three hundred taels, even a thousand taels probably wouldn't be enough."
Wang Yunjuan is not short of money, but with her son getting married and her daughter getting married in the next month or so, she naturally wants to be careful with her money.
So she asked, "Since there's not much business right now, why don't we put the matter of rebuilding the restaurant on hold for now and talk about it later?"
Qiao was not annoyed and said frankly, "Sister Juan, building a restaurant, even if it's only two stories, can't be done in just one or two months."
After the building is completed, the interior decoration will take some time.
If I don't take action now and divert the money to other uses, I don't know when I'll be able to cover it up.
I'm afraid that by the time the current predicament of the entire Jianzhou Prefecture is over, my restaurant will still not be finished.
Sister Juan, you should know that in business, sometimes it's all about seizing the initiative.
Besides, the items I'm sending away this time are precious, and I want to make the trip myself.
I need some money for hiring the镖 (bodyguard/escort), and for expenses after arriving in Jinling.
Given the current situation, how can I wait for a letter to Nanjing to ask for money?
Wang Yunjuan knew that what she said made sense; the business deal with Chi Yu was extremely profitable.
If she could, she would borrow money to do it.
