379 Worry

Sure enough, when Xi Feng said this, Peng's face looked good, and he touched Xi Feng's hand and praised her for being filial and a good child. He also said, "Grandma has clothes to wear, you don't have to worry about grandma, and your three aunts don't need to wear them. If you and your mother can't wear them, they can put them in a shop and sell them. They can sell them for some money to subsidize some household expenses."

"Grandma... the fabric has been cut and can no longer be sold." Xi Feng couldn't laugh or cry.

When he saw his daughter and granddaughter, they were both people who didn't know how to live a frugal life, Peng felt tired and taught his daughter hard, "Axiu, you come to Ruanjiazhuang again in the future, you are not allowed to take anything anymore. Your family is not as good as before. There were only a few servants in total, and the food and drink cost was not much. But now, the son-in-law has to raise dozens of people alone, and the family still owes debts. Are you trying to exhaust your son-in-law to death?"

Xi Feng was a little amused and cried when she heard this, but she felt more warm in her heart.

It's great to have grandma care about it.

Ruan Shi said, "My grandma, there is no shortage of silver at home." He told Peng Shi, "My old house was sold, and it was dozens of taels of silver more than the original price. The master had enough 2,500 taels of silver, and took it to pay back part of it first, and then paid back the rest slowly."

"There are still a lot left. I heard from my son-in-law that you borrowed 8,000 taels of silver last time?" Peng mentioned this and started scolding his daughter again. "You said that you and your son-in-law are brave and dare to borrow so much money. What if you can't pay it back?"

"My mother, I can pay it back. Recently, the business in the shop has improved. Last month, I heard from the master that the incense shop alone made 200 taels of silver, which is more than what I have earned in the past year. And this month, a lot of goods were ordered. With the incense shop here, the debts can be paid back soon."

After thinking about it, Ruan Shi lowered his voice, "The master also invested in a sea boat of 2,000 taels of silver. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sea boat will come back and the silver will be doubled, and these debts will be paid off."

Peng was stunned, and then said annoyedly, "Look at me, last time you mentioned the three thousand taels of silver you got back from the big house. I actually forgot that the silver you have invested in the sea boat is that silver, right?"

"Yeah, that's exactly."

"That's good, that's good." Peng's breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone that had been pressing on her heart disappeared in an instant.

She said relaxedly, "You don't know, your father and I have never slept well since we learned that you and my son-in-law had borrowed 8,000 taels of silver to buy a house. We are really worried that you won't pay it back. Your father even has to take out all the savings in the family to pay you off. But you also know how the family's conditions are. Your father and I have saved up a total of 52 taels of silver, which is far from the eight thousand taels of debt."

Otherwise, when she saw her daughter bringing so many things, she would not scold her daughter in a hurry.

She has never been willing to scold her daughter when she grows up so old.

Ruan said with a guilty look on her face, "I should have told my father and mother earlier, so I have been worried for so long."
