After hearing what Aunt Gu said, Shu Jiaying became angry. Could it be that this old woman wanted to cheat even the dead's money?
Shu Jiaying sneered speechlessly, "Auntie, you can't be like this. In fact, someone saw you borrowing money from Uncle Erlang. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the audacity to ask you for Xiaohua's help."
"Bah! You said someone saw me borrowing money from Erlang. Who was that person? Ask her to come and confront me face to face. I want to see if she's that capable. How could she fabricate such a thing so fluently?"
“…”
Shu Jiaying was speechless. After all, Erlang had never admitted to her personally about borrowing the money. Now, if she wanted to ask Aunt Gu to pay it back without the loan agreement, it would be really difficult. It seemed that she had to think about it carefully.
Pretending to bow to the Gu family's eldest aunt, Shu Jiaying admitted her mistake and said, "I'm sorry, eldest aunt. I didn't understand the situation well enough and believed the gossip of the women on the boat. I think your family is well off, and you shouldn't try to cheat Uncle Erlang out of his five hundred coins. Besides, borrowing money from a dead person and not paying it back is a lifelong misfortune."
"You...you've said that, if I really borrow money from Erlang and don't pay it back, then wouldn't I be afraid of bad luck?
I won’t say any more. Anyway, the money has been delivered, so I’ll go back first.”
"Okay, take care, auntie."
After taking a strange look at Erlang's house, Aunt Gu left in a hurry.
Xiaohua, who had been standing behind Shu Jiaying without saying a word, pulled the corner of Shu Jiaying's clothes.
"Sister Jiaying, I don't think my aunt lent my father any money, because when I was sick, my father spent a lot of money on medicine for me, and I don't think he has extra money to lend to others."
"Yeah?"
Shu Jiaying didn't disbelieve Xiaohua's words, she just didn't trust Aunt Gu. If Aunt Gu didn't borrow money from Erlang, why was she so flustered when she left?
Even if Aunt Gu did not borrow money from Erlang, there must be some secret hidden between her and Erlang.
For Xiaohua's benefit, Shu Jiaying felt that she should get to the bottom of it.
After entering the house with Xiaohua, Shu Jiaying told Village Chief Xu that she would stay with Xiaohua at her home for the next two days and sort out Erlang's belongings.
Village Chief Xu didn't object. After all, Xiaohua was still young, and now that her loved one had passed away and she had no relatives around, her life experience was indeed quite pitiful.
Originally, Village Chief Xu wanted to invite Xiaohua to stay at his house temporarily, but he gave up because he was worried that Grandma Xu would dislike Xiaohua for being unlucky.
Anyway, Grandma Xu can walk now, so it doesn’t matter if Shu Jiaying is not with her now.
He glanced at the sky. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and it should be before noon. Thinking that Grandma Xu had left home early in the morning and had not returned yet, she must be very hungry. Village Chief Xu hurried back home.
But when he arrived at Bagui's house in the village, he heard Bagui beating and scolding a woman.
"You're such a loser! I just asked you to wash a bowl, but you've already smashed almost all the dishes in my house. Did you do that on purpose?"
"Ouch... Bro, please stop hitting me. I really didn't mean to do that. Woohoo, that bowl was too slippery, and I... I couldn't hold it steady, so it..."
"Can't hold it steady? I see you can't hold it steady, you can't hold it steady..."
"Oh...it hurts, brother, please stop, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."
