Not really, the land they sold was enough to pay it back. Old Sun was calculating the accounts for them. The second son had saved several dozen taels and hardly touched them. The eldest son had the money from Ruxin's selling of her body, so I wonder how much he spent on buying a house?
The more she calculated, the more she felt that she might not be able to build her house.
"Third brother, why is it so much? Did you calculate it correctly?" Zhao Dayong asked in a hoarse voice after a long time.
Oh my god, they are going to clean him up.
"Second brother, you can check it yourself. Can't Dazhuzi read?"
"Third brother, I can't afford it. You know I don't have money. How about this, my second brother and I each give two taels as a token of appreciation? You have money, we really can't compete with you?"
Zhao Dashu was amused. Two taels, are you giving to a beggar?
Zhao Dayong strongly agreed, and his elder brother finally said something sensible.
"Brother, when you took the money from dad just now, you didn't tell me how hard it was for your second brother to take care of them. You just took a few coins as a token of your appreciation.
I am the youngest in the family, so I shouldn't suffer the most. Don't say I am rich, I earned the money myself, and when I left home, we were left with nothing." If he had no money, he didn't believe they would ask for less money for his father's funeral, and they could shut him up with just a mouthful of words.
Therefore, he would not be soft-hearted. It was not like he couldn't get the money out. Although the money that his second brother had deposited with him was not taken back, it was definitely still there.
The two decided to be shameless together and insisted that they had no money.
"Okay, big brother and second brother, let me mortgage the land deeds. I will return the land deeds to you when I pay you back."
"Third brother, don't be so arrogant. Why should I give you the title deed of my house?"
"I didn't want it either. I didn't have any money when I asked for it. I deserve it. Big brother, second brother, how about I call a few relatives now and ask them if I deserve to pay all the money? By the way, let me ask everyone, how much should you pay as the eldest brother who got all the money from dad, and how much should the second brother who got half of the family property pay?"
Zhao Dashu was determined not to be a sucker, and Old Sun didn't dare to persuade him, for fear that her new house would fail, and she was even more afraid that the third brother would ignore her in the future.
The argument lasted until the afternoon, but no one came to a conclusion. Zhao Dashu was angry and wanted to call people to ask whose son was unwilling to pay for his own father's medicine and funeral expenses. Zhao Dayong hurriedly stopped him, saying that they still had to live in the village. If this happened, his reputation would be ruined for the rest of his life, and it would be difficult for his sons to find wives.
There was really no other way, so he gritted his teeth and gave twenty taels to Zhao Dashu, and owed the rest because his mother still needed to build a house, and he was really short of money.
I regret it now. If I had known that I had to pay for it myself, they would have kept it simple, especially the ginseng. Why would a person who is dying eat ginseng? Isn't this just a joke?
Zhao Dayong had a hard time saying it, because he asked his third brother to take the ginseng. He said he had some at home, and he thought it was a waste if he didn't eat it since it wasn't his.
Li and Wang were heartbroken. When the old man passed away, each family lost dozens of taels of silver, especially Li, whose family's savings were almost emptied.
Wang could only lie and say that she did not bring that much silver. Zhao Dashu took away the silver and the land deed left by the old man. As for the twenty taels for his mother, it didn't matter if he didn't give it to her. His mother was in a hurry to start the construction, so he would bring people to the school to find someone when the time came.
Old Mrs. Sun was stunned and wanted to ask if her house was still available.
"Old Third, when will my house be built?"
"I will go to the village chief to ask about the foundation in a while. Don't worry, mother. Now that the money has been paid by my eldest and second brothers, we can start the construction immediately." He will not start the construction without them giving him money, no matter what anyone says.
There is no way he can pay first. They are all deadbeats and it is very difficult to get money.
