Chapter 16 Sister-in-law borrowed more than my wife
Gu Qingling added expressionlessly: "I'm not asking you to pay all the money. You can pay as much as you have, whether it's a few hundred taels or dozens of taels. No one will object."
Second Master Yao would not think so much, and followed Gu Qingling's words and said: "Yes, my mother didn't ask you to pay a thousand taels of gold. You can pay as much as you have. I will figure out a way for the rest."
Mrs. Yao Er really wanted to scratch the face of this idiot, Mr. Yao, but everyone was staring at her, so she could only grit her teeth and said: "Well... that's okay, concubine... concubine, please pay 200 taels of silver."
——Damn, I’m bleeding profusely!
"Only 200 taels?" Gu Qingling raised her eyebrows and said in a weird tone, "So my son is only worth 200 taels in your eyes."
Of course Mrs. Yao Er has more than these 200 taels of silver in her hands, but she doesn’t dare to pay it all. The Yao family is unreliable, her man is unreliable, and she also wants a son and a daughter to support. If she doesn’t leave some money, wouldn’t she be a fool?
Mrs. Yao Er didn't let go at all, but she didn't dare to look at Gu Qingling and stirred the handkerchief in her hand, looking embarrassed: "Old lady, I also want to pay more, but when I first got married, my natal family was
The old lady also knows what the situation is..."
Although she was a lady from an official family, it was a pity that something happened in her family and she had to marry in a hurry, so she chose the Yao family who was still a noble family at that time. Otherwise, given the conditions of the Yu family, she would not be able to marry into the Yao family.
Gu Qingling saw through someone's little thoughts at a glance, but she didn't push it any further. Thinking about it, the Yao family was suddenly exposed by her. It seemed prosperous, but in fact it was already in dire straits. It was strange that someone didn't plan for her.
If Mrs. Yao is stupid and takes out all the money after seeing this situation, Gu Qingling will really have a headache - if the Yao family is really in this situation and you still take out all the money, what will happen to your little family?
?
Second Master Yao is already unreliable enough, but if Mrs. Yao becomes unreliable, then the son and daughter of the second wife will really be in trouble.
Mrs. Yao Er can plan for herself, and Gu Qingling doesn't have to worry about what happens in the future. The two grandsons will suffer hardships following Mrs. Yao. At least this mother-in-law has a plan.
"Okay, just 200 taels, second brother, write an IOU to your wife." Gu Qingling raised her chin and asked Mr. Yao to write the IOU.
"Ah, you need to write this too?" Mr. Yao looked surprised.
"Why don't you write it? That's your wife's dowry," Gu Qingling glanced at him, "You used your wife's dowry, so you don't have to pay it back in the future? Under normal circumstances, which man do you think would be interested in his wife's dowry?"
"
Mr. Yao actually had a good reputation, so he thought it right, so he took a pen and started writing.
Anyway, his mother and father-in-law have written it, so his wife’s 200 taels are nothing. As for whether she can pay it back in the future, Mr. Yao doesn’t know.
"Okay, there are still 7,800 taels of silver." Gu Qingling's eyes fell on the other people in the hall, "Boss, what about you? You are the brother of the second brother, so you have to 'borrow' some, right?"
In this case, everyone here knows that the money lent to Mr. Yao is probably like "a meat bun beating a dog, and it will never come back."
If the old lady had directly asked them to help pay, they would still have an excuse to refuse, but the old lady did not let them pay for themselves, but used the form of "borrowing" and wrote generously.
IOU, this...
"Mom, all my money is in the public house. The public house's money has been loaned out. Even if I want to borrow more, I can't borrow more." Uncle Yao sighed in his heart, feeling a little helpless.
His mother "borrowed" the money from Gongzhong without even asking him, and now she actually wants him to pay. Does this mean she wants to "force" him to die?
Gu Qingling slapped her forehead: "Oh, how could I forget this? Look at my memory, I am really old and confused... Okay, the thousand taels of silver from this father-in-law are considered to be borrowed by you, and I will give you the IOU.
.”
With that said, he asked the eldest maid, Chun Chun, to give to Uncle Yao the IOU of one thousand taels of silver written by the second master Yao to the Duke.
Uncle Yao took the IOU and was a little confused: He thought he would be scolded for saying this, but in the end, the IOU was given to him?!
Before he could figure it out, Gu Qingling jumped over Uncle Yao and looked at Mrs. Yao: "Ahem! Sir, I also know that opening this mouth to you is a bit... but it's not that, we are not a family.
Don't join the same family. Your second brother is a little disappointed, but after all, he is your man's biological brother. As the elder sister-in-law, you can help a little bit, right?"
He also named Second Master Yao and asked him to be more respectful and come over to borrow it from Mrs. Yao himself.
"Sister-in-law..." Mr. Yao was a little humble in a rare moment.
There was no other way. The original owner usually looked down on the eldest daughter-in-law. He always felt that the eldest daughter-in-law was chosen by her dead mother-in-law and was not of the same mind as him. In addition, after Mrs. Yao gave birth to a daughter, she had nothing to do.
I despise the other person as a hen that doesn't lay eggs.
Indirectly, Mr. Yao was also affected. In addition to looking down on his old aunt at home, he also didn't think highly of his sister-in-law.
But now, Mr. Yao has to "borrow money" from this sister-in-law who looks down on him. Not to mention the feeling of it, Mr. Yao probably feels that he has never been so embarrassed.
As early as when her mother-in-law opened her mouth, Mrs. Yao was already mentally prepared. She compared Mrs. Yao with the second Mrs. Yao and said, "Let's do this. I will give you 500 taels. Second brother, don't think it's less. My natal family is from a scholarly family. I
When I got married, most of the dowry items were calligraphy and painting books, and 500 taels of silver was already the limit."
"No, no, no, my sister-in-law has borrowed more than my wife." Mr. Yao would never find it too little. As long as someone doesn't make things difficult for him and is willing to borrow, he will be happy.
However, what he said was a bit slapful to Mrs. Yao Er's face, and he took the initiative to say, "Sister-in-law, I will write you an IOU."
Mrs. Yao Er: "..." Do you have any brains? I am your wife!
"Ahem!" Mrs. Yao naturally heard it and coughed twice uncomfortably, "I'm sorry to trouble you, second brother."
Looking at this second brother who was a little silly and a little naive, Mrs. Yao suddenly felt: In fact, the second brother is not that bad, and he has no bad intentions. He just sometimes does things without thinking and can easily "offend" people.
As for someone who "offended" her wife with just one word, she didn't bother to care about it. She and Mrs. Yao Er were the ones who were really "at odds" with each other.
It's good to be able to maintain your own identity and give the other person a good look. If you want her to be warm to someone else's cold ass, forget it.
After borrowing the second and second bedrooms for the big house, it’s the third bedroom’s turn.
Mr. Yao has had several experiences and is familiar with everything.
Mrs. Yao San was relatively thin-skinned, so she agreed to borrow it as soon as the other party asked. However, Mrs. Yao San was a concubine and had a cowardly character. She really didn't have much dowry, so she almost spent it all, and then she took out 100 taels of silver.
Auntie Chen on the side saw it and gritted her teeth in anger: You idiot, you just borrow it when someone asks you to, don't you know how to borrow less?
——Bitch woman, so stupid!
——Usually, when my mother asks you for money, you just keep crying to me that you are poor. If someone "borrows" it from you, you are really generous.
