Chapter 352
Yang Ruoqing's face remained as usual and she twitched her lips.
"Then how much can you give as a bride price to Uncle Wu?"
she asked.
I didn’t say I wouldn’t borrow it, and I didn’t say I would borrow it either.
Mrs. Tan thought for a moment and said, "Our family doesn't have much money to begin with, and something like this happened again. Let's spend one or two to break the bank."
Yang Ruoqing's eyes flashed.
I overheard what Yang Huazhou and Bao Suyun were saying before.
The Tan family can give out two taels.
Now one or two less
The remaining three liang will be considered as the head of their third room.
This is a beautiful idea
"Fat Ya, don't think about it. We know you have been selling tofu recently and how many of them you have."
Tan continued.
"You move here first and give it to your fifth uncle to marry me, and I'll return it to you later."
"Don't worry, we'll give you an IOU and we won't blackmail you at all."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and was about to open her mouth.
Yang Huazhou, who had been silent over there, suddenly spoke up.
"Father, mother, third brother and the others have been newly assigned, and the fields have not yet been harvested."
“A family of five relies on tofu to earn some money for food and clothing.”
"We can't borrow it from anyone in the village, not from Third Brother and the others."
Yang Huazhou said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Tan rolled her eyes at Yang Huazhou.
"You idiot, if you borrow from someone else in the village, you have to pay interest."
"Your third brother and the others are our own family members. They don't need to pay interest. They can just move it around. We can pay it back when we have it," said Tan.
Yang Huazhou frowned.
"Dad came over last night and told me that he could get two taels out of it."
"Why is there one tael missing now?" he asked.
Mrs. Tan glared at Old Yangtou and said, "Your father doesn't know clearly. He said it wrong."
"I am in charge of our family's money. I will tell you how much we have and how much we can pay."
Yang Huazhou was not happy to hear this.
Last night, Dad patted his chest and told him to rest in peace and recuperate.
He doesn't need to worry about getting married.
At least two taels of silver, and selling iron will help him marry his wife.
He told Suyuna now that he could only produce two taels.
Not only did Suyun have no objection, she also took out what she kept at the bottom of the box and posted it upside down.
At this moment, I can't even get out of the house.
"Mom, don't fool me. I'm an honest person who doesn't understand anything."
Yang Huazhou said in a deep voice.
"Our family's wealth goes beyond this."
"Even if you lose money and go out, mom, you will definitely still have five taels of silver in your cabinet."
"Isn't it ridiculous that someone who only spends one or two dollars on me would go and embarrass his third brother and his third sister-in-law?" he asked.
Mrs. Tan was stunned.
He exchanged looks with Lao Yangtou.
The old couple both saw the same shock in each other's eyes.
When did these five guys become so knowledgeable about this family?
Feeling guilty for a while.
Over there, Yang Huazhou continued, "Over the years, like my third brother, I have worked in the fields from dawn to dusk."
"When I have free time, I will help others."
"As long as I can earn money from carpentry and bricklaying work, I will take on any job like making coffins."
"I don't keep even half of the wages I earn, I give them all to my mother."
"The wages alone are less than five or six taels of silver."
"I just hope that I can get married later so that both of us can look better and my wife won't be wronged."
"But mother, you still have more than five taels of silver, so just give me one tael to get married."
"Lao Wu"
Mr. Tan shouted at Yang Huazhou.
"That's right, I still have five taels of silver at home," said Tan.
"It's all for you to get married, how about your sister's dowry?"
"The Chinese New Year is about to come soon, how are we going to spend it together as a family of more than a dozen people?"
"You can't just care about yourself and your wife, and don't care about the life or death of others."
Tan asked Yang Huazhou in turn.
Yang Huazhou was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
"Mother Mei'er still has the nerve to mention Mei'er."
"This disaster was caused by her."
"At this moment, my mother still wants to hold on to her money."
“Really chilling”
"I'm not going to get married. When I get better, I'll move out and live in a cowshed by myself, and I'll be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
Yang Huazhou turned his head away, so angry that the veins on his forehead protruded one by one.
When Mr. Tan saw this, his eyebrows stood up.
He opened his mouth to scold him, but Old Yangtou stopped him.
"When something happens, we have to work together to get through it. Noisy and yelling will solve the problem."
Old Yangtou stood between Tan and Yang Huazhou, speaking earnestly to mediate.
Seeing that these two people were silent for a while, Old Yangtou once again focused his attention on Yang Ruoqing.
"Girl Qing, you heard everything, grandma, please be tight."
"Your fifth uncle is getting married, and your sister-in-law also has to prepare a dowry, food and clothing for the whole family, hey."
"Hao Qing'er, at this time, you are the only one who can help me."
"How about moving a few taels of silver and let's put your fifth uncle's marriage through together first?"
Old Yangtou discussed this with Yang Ruoqing with a sincere face.
Yang Ruoqing laughed.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Our family doesn't have any money."
"How could you, Qing girl, be joking with me like this?"
"You're really not kidding," Yang Ruoqing said.
"When I left home, I had nothing."
"It's hard not to be hungry now, but there's no harvest at all in the fields," she said.
The smile on Old Yangtou's face froze.
"If you can't move three taels, two taels will do. If that doesn't work, just one tael," he said.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head.
"Not a cent"
She said simply.
Old Yangtou was surprised.
Mrs. Tan beside her couldn't help but cursed.
"You damn fat girl, you are so stingy that you can't even get away with a tael of money to cheat someone."
Yang Ruoqing didn't fight back angrily.
"Boss, you each have five taels of silver in your hands, and you want to shave your face off me?"
"What"
Mrs. Tan fell back in anger.
"I don't want my old face anymore, so I can borrow money from you."
"If you don't lend me the money, you're a lawless, dead girl, and I'll pay for the movie."
"Tsk" Yang Ruoqing smiled.
"The real loser is my sister-in-law"
"She put her own dowry money into this basket."
"Why should we honest people clean up the mess she got into?"
"If I had known you were so greedy, I shouldn't have helped you recover your money and horses," Yang Ruoqing said loudly.
Mrs. Tan was speechless after being refuted, and was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Old Yangtou's complexion was not much better.
After Yang Ruoqing said these words, she picked up Ms. Sun.
"Mom, if grandma summons me again in the future, we really can't come. We can't afford to come."
Before the two women reached the door of the house, Mrs. Tan's shout came from behind.
"The rooster I sent last night is back."
The steps stopped.
The corner of Yang Ruoqing's mouth twitched hard.
Good old lady Sun was also angered.
The woman turned around and said with astonishment, "Mom, I haven't heard of it, have I?"
"Lao San and Qing'er, they stayed up all night last night to worry about Mei'er and Lao Wu."
