Seeing that Lin Jinlian was unwilling to seek help from the county magistrate's son, Lin Jinshan was so anxious that tears were about to fall from his eyes.
"Sister, Lin Jiuyue borrowed 40 taels of silver from our family and asked us to pay it back within three months. We are an ordinary peasant family. Where can we find 40 taels of silver to pay it back within three months?"
"If we can't pay it back, we two siblings will be sold out by Lin Jiuyue! I'm a man, so it doesn't matter much."
"But, but sister, you are a woman. If you are sold to a place like that by Lin Jiuyue, a black-hearted person, your life will be over."
After Lin Jinshan finished speaking, he pretended to pound his chest, looking extremely distressed.
Lin Jiuyue looked at Lin Jinshan and his sister singing in unison and couldn't help clapping in her heart.
They are indeed brother and sister from the same mother, even their acting is so similar.
When Master Yang heard what Lin Jinshan said, he looked at Lin Jinlian with a distressed expression.
"Miss Lin, it's really hard for you to have such a cousin."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Lin Jiuyue again.
"You and Miss Lin are cousins. How could you have the heart to sell them both for forty taels of silver? How could you be so cruel?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Well, now it can be confirmed that this county magistrate is a man with a confused mind!
If he were a smart person, he would not make a decision based on a few words from Lin Jinlian and her siblings.
"I didn't even ask them for interest on the 40 taels of silver I lent them. Is this something a cruel person could do?"
"Or do you think, Young Master Yang, that if they ask for money, I should hand it over with both hands and not even mention it? If I mention it, I'm a cruel person?"
"In that case, I will tell Master Yang now that I need ten thousand taels of silver and would like to borrow it from you. When can you lend me the silver? I will be very grateful!"
Young Master Yang stared at Lin Jiuyue.
"You! Why do you want to borrow money from me when you are short of money? I have nothing to do with you."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Young Master Yang also knows that you have nothing to do with me? If so, why do you care about my affairs with the Lin family?"
"There's a saying that goes, 'It's only natural to pay back a debt!' As the son of the county magistrate, Young Master Yang, wouldn't you be unaware of this saying?"
The county magistrate's son blushed after hearing Lin Jiuyue's words.
"You! Humph! I won't argue with a shrew. Tell me, how much silver does Miss Lin owe you? I'll pay it back for her!"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Lin Jinlian is so charming that she even managed to get a man she just met to pay off her debt!
And the first payment is forty taels of silver! Tsk tsk!
"You are so generous, my Lord County Magistrate! If that's the case, I won't be polite."
Lin Jiuyue looked at Lin Jinlian with a smile.
Lin Jinlian took a half step back in embarrassment.
"Young Master Yang, no need. You don't have to pay back the money. I..."
The county magistrate's son raised his hand to stop Lin Jinlian before she could finish speaking.
"Miss Lin, don't feel burdened. I'm willing to help you pay back the money."
Lin Jiuyue made two "tsk tsk" sounds.
"Young Master Yang, Lin Jinlian, have you two reached an agreement? Are you going to pay back the money or not? If you do, I'll have someone get the IOU."
There are four copies of the IOU, one for the village chief of Xiangyang Village, one for the village chief of Shangbei Village, and one each for myself and the Lin family!
If this Young Master Yang really wanted to help Lin Jinlian pay back the forty taels of silver, he would have to send someone to invite the two village chiefs over.
Lin Jinlian wanted to be firm and say no, but she opened her mouth and ended up saying nothing.
It was the so-called son of the county magistrate who was anxious to "save the beauty".
"Alright! When have I ever broken my word?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"In that case, could you please return the silver, Mr. County Magistrate? I won't ask you for interest. Forty taels is forty taels."
Young Master Yang winked at Chang Qing behind him.
"Changqing, give this troublemaker forty taels of silver!"
As long as he had money coming in, Lin Jiuyue didn't care whether people would call him a troublemaker.
The servant behind Young Master Yang looked at him hesitantly, wanting to say something.
"Young Master..."
"What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear me say to take the silver? Why don't you hurry up? Are you trying to embarrass me in front of these unruly people?"
evergreen:……
Although that woman is hateful, the woman next to the young master is not a good person either. Why is the young master so bewitched by her?
Young Master Yang glared at Chang Qing when he saw that he hadn't moved. Chang Qing then reluctantly took out a fifty-liang silver note from his purse.
"Here, this is a fifty-liang silver note. You still have to give us ten liang in change."
Lin Jiuyue happily accepted the banknote. She took out her purse and was about to give the change when Young Master Yang suddenly spoke.
"I don't want the ten taels of silver. Just consider it interest! I hope you'll take the silver and quickly bring the IOU over!"
Lin Jiuyue's hand, which was rummaging through her purse, paused.
Don't want it anymore? Ten taels of silver, and you just say you don't want it? How can this be called the son of a county magistrate? This is simply a child who gives away money!
"Really?"
Lin Jiuyue said somewhat uncertainly.
"If I say no, then I don't want it!"
Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue's mouth was so happy that it almost stretched to her ears.
"Young Master Yang is indeed the son of the county magistrate. He refused ten taels of silver without hesitation. How generous!"
"I am just a commoner, but I am still very interested in these copper-smelling silvers. Since Young Master Yang has said so, I will accept them."
Young Master Yang was disgusted by Lin Jiuyue's materialistic appearance.
Lin Jinlian saw Lin Jiuyue put the fifty taels of silver in her arms and spoke.
"Sir, although this money is not your own, it is also earned through your hard work. If you just give it away like this, I'm afraid..."
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she glared at Lin Jinlian fiercely.
This woman! Is she afraid of getting any benefits? The owner of the banknote has already said that he doesn't want the ten taels of silver, so why is she trying to butt in?
If the money that I have already earned is lost, who can I turn to for justice?
"Lin Jinlian, what you said is wrong! Young Master Yang comes from a family of scholars. How can we let the smell of money pollute the fragrance of books?"
After saying that, Lin Jiuyue quickly put the banknotes into her purse and then quickly put the purse away.
The whole process took no more than three seconds, leaving Lin Jinlian stunned.
"Sister Jiuyue, this thing doesn't belong to you. You'd better return it to the owner."
Lin Jiuyue patted her purse and said with a smile.
"What is it that I don't deserve? Of these fifty taels of silver, forty taels were paid for you by Young Master Yang, and the remaining ten taels were also what Young Master Yang said he didn't want. How can it be something I don't deserve?"
"Young Master Yang helped you pay off a debt of forty taels of silver, yet you want to make him a dishonest person. What are your intentions?"
