"Sister Qing'er, you can take these five taels of silver first, and I will pay back the remaining forty-five taels of silver slowly in the future," Chen Biao said.

Seeing the money he handed over, Yang Ruoqing was startled.

When his father was first diagnosed with that disease, the world of Lao Chen's family was about to collapse.

Yang Ruoqing directly sponsored him with ten taels of silver as his boss at that time, but Chen Biao was stubborn and insisted on paying Yang Ruoqing an IOU, and said that he would not take it if he did not pay the IOU.

But the ten taels of silver were stolen by Chen Biao's brother before he could cover up the heat, which also caused Tu Sibi's family a foreign debt of thirty taels of silver.

Heise would come to the house demanding debts, destroy everything he could in the house, and even say harsh words.

Chen Biao borrowed money everywhere and encountered obstacles, and his head was full of troubles.

In the end, she and Tang Yazi donated generously and took out forty taels of silver. Thirty taels of silver were given to him to pay off his debts. The remaining ten taels were used to honor his father and to take care of his father's affairs after his death.

use money.

"How can you still have these five taels of silver left?" Yang Ruoqing asked Chen Biao in surprise.

Chen Biao said: "The second time you gave me the forty taels of silver, I took thirty taels to pay off the debt, and the remaining ten taels were used to give my father medicine, and to replenish his health some time ago..."

"I spent nearly five taels of silver here and there, and the remaining five taels were used to organize a funeral for my father."

"I'm busy buying better coffins and shrouds. My father never had a good time before he was alive. I want him to sleep more comfortably there..."

Having said this, Chen Biao lowered his eyes and tried hard to control the tears in his eyes.

Today is a good day for him to discuss marriage. He can't cry, he can't cry!

Yang Ruoqing said: "Don't rush to give me these five taels of silver. Let me ask you, when do you plan to marry Ju'er?"

Chen Biao raised his head and said, "I heard from my mother and uncle that my father had talked with my father-in-law before his death and said that he wanted me to get married to Ju'er during this period of filial piety."

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Well, the elders on both sides did arrange it this way."

"Then let me ask you again. Before your father was alive, he discussed with your mother and you about your marriage to Ju'er. How would your mother handle it alone?"

Speaking of this, Chen Biao's face became serious and said: "Speaking of this matter, Sister Qing'er, this is what I think."

"Even if I go to Ju'er to be a door-to-door son-in-law, I can't turn a blind eye to my mother."

"If my brother is reliable and works honestly at home to support my mother, then I don't have to worry. But my brother..."

"I plan to go back to the restaurant and work as soon as I get married to earn money to support the elders on both sides of my family! Even if someone says something to me, I don't care. I can't abandon my mother," he said.

Yang Ruoqing understands Chen Biao's concerns.

When he marries a woman, he is equivalent to getting married.

After getting married, Lao Chen's family is regarded as her mother's family, and supporting her mother's family is not the burden of a married daughter or a son-in-law.

Take Wang Shuanzi's eldest sister Wang Cuihua. When the Wang family was having a hard time a few years ago, Wang Cuihua secretly gave money to her husband's family twice. When her husband's family found out, they had a huge quarrel. The couple started fighting and almost broke up.

It is human nature that the husband's family does not want their wealth to leak out, but the daughter or the son-in-law who comes to live in the house are also human beings, and they also have their own parents.

"Chen Biao, I am very pleased that you can never abandon your mother, and I also agree with your behavior." Yang Ruoqing said.

"However, because there is my fourth uncle and fourth aunt on the other side, you have to support your mother. This matter is your family matter. You can discuss it yourself. I will not interfere." She added.

Chen Biao looked at Yang Ruoqing with a grateful face and said, "Sister Qing'er, I am extremely grateful that you can say this!"

After saying that, he sent the five taels of silver to Yang Ruoqing, "I will return these five taels of silver to you first, and I will pay back the remaining money slowly in the future!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head, "I'm not short of these five taels of silver now. You can keep the flowers first, or use this money to settle your mother's life first."

When Chen Biao heard this, he felt it made sense.

During the time between my father's illness and his death, the family had been struggling so much that only these five taels of silver were left.

I went to Changping Village to get married in a few days. My mother was alone at home with not even half a penny. The land had been sold long ago and her brother was not at home.

"Okay, then I will leave these five taels of silver to my mother. She is frugal, so the five taels of silver will be enough for her to live for two or three years," Chen Biao said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "The premise is that you have to tell your mother not to let your brother come back and cheat you out of this money again."

When it comes to this, it's a bit embarrassing.

Chen Biao smiled bitterly and said: "I don't even want to talk about him even if he is alive or dead. I will just pretend that I don't have that brother anymore. From now on, my mother, I will take care of her!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded and wanted to ask about the marriage, but suddenly there were noisy footsteps and voices outside the yard.

"Sister-in-law, Biao'er, are you at home?" someone shouted outside.

Chen Biao was startled for a moment, looked outside the yard, and did not respond.

Chen Biao Niang and Aunt Chen Biao came out of the kitchen.

"Mom, who is it?" Chen Biao asked.

Chen Biaoniang said: "It seems to be your cousins."

When Chen Biao was surprised, Chen Biao's mother quickly walked over and opened the courtyard door, "Brother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, how come you have time to come here?"

"No, Father Chen Biao is gone. We feel sorry for you two, so we came here to see you and give you something to see if you need anything!"

The crowd poured in, stuffing eggs, old hens, and vegetables into Chen Biaoniang's arms.

Chen Biaoniang was stunned. She stood there and couldn't figure out what was going on.

"A relative has come to your home, why are you so stubborn that you can't go over to say hello?" Yang Ruoqing glanced over there and asked Chen Biao in a low voice.

Chen Biao frowned and muttered: "These people, my father has been ill for more than a month, and they have been hiding far away, like they are hiding from the plague."

"Last time I went back to the village to do some rituals, I asked them to come and help me. I didn't know how many good words I said and how many times I knelt down. They even gave me 600 cash as a gift. They cut corners and bullied our mother and son. I don't want to deal with them..."

The words had just finished here, and over there, these relatives were exchanging greetings.

Then, there was no need for Chen Biaoniang to greet Chen Biaoniang, and she directly bypassed Chen Biaoniang and squeezed into the courtyard.

"Oh, isn't this the No. 1 scholar's sister, Miss Qing'er, the shopkeeper? Why are you here free today?"

Someone with sharp eyes caught sight of Yang Ruoqing standing in the corner talking to Chen Biao, and quickly smiled and greeted Yang Ruoqing.

One person shouted, and everyone else's eyes also turned over. Suddenly, Yang Ruoqing was surrounded by enthusiasm like fire.

Yang Ruoqing faintly raised her lips at these people and said, "I am here to talk things over as a matchmaker."

"Matchmaker? Haha, are we Biao'er and Miss Qing'er and your cousin Ju'er getting married soon?" someone asked.
