Lu Wenqin frowned and said with a confused look on his face: "Last time, didn't I just give you a couple of silver?"
Lu Changgen said: "Dad was ill last time and all the money was spent."
"Brother, I have no money anymore." All the money that Murongde compensated him for has been taken away by them.
Lu Changgen didn't believe what he said. He had heard people say that Murong De paid him a lot of money! How much did he have to go? It was only a hundred taels.
"If I don't have money to get medicine, my mother will die of illness. You, an unfilial son, don't want to give me money. Do you want to see your mother die of illness?"
"I..." Lu Wenqin had no choice but to take out a washed white money bag from his arms, handed it to Lu Changgen and said, "That's all I have."
Lu Changgen grabbed the money bag, opened it, and saw about twenty copper coins inside, his face suddenly fell.
“What kind of medicine can I get with just this little money?”
"But that's all I have! I'm really out of money."
Shen Wan lifted the curtain and took a look, then looked at Lu Wenzhi who was frowning and asked, "Where has all your money gone?" It's impossible for such money to be used up so quickly!
Lu Wenzhi said: "My grandpa is sick, grandma and uncle have been away for most of the time. My dad borrowed some for his classmates who came to the imperial city to take the exam."
Shen Wan thought for a while and said: "If you get sick, you will have to go away for most of the time. Your grandpa is very ill!"
"What's the weight? My grandma and my uncle asked for the money. Not long after, I saw my father coming to the town to go to the market with a cigarette bag. Within two days, people in the same village said that my uncle had bought land and built a new house." They said. He just used his grandfather's illness as an excuse to ask for money! The most disgusting thing was that they asked for money twice more. When his father refused to tell him that he had no money, his uncle said that he was unfilial, and his grandmother cried and said that her son was born in vain. His father Being a filial person, he couldn't help crying, so he had to give them his last bit of money.
The Lu family is in Lujia Village outside the city. Lu Wenzhi, a scholar among them, married Lu Wenzhi's mother. Because they loved their daughter, Lu Wenzhi's grandfather and grandmother helped the young couple settle down in the city. However, Lu Wenzhi's mother died in childbirth. Later, the two elders became extremely sad and died one after another a year later.
"Tsk..." This is a bit disgusting.
"Does your father know?" Shen Wan asked again.
"I know, but if my father doesn't give it, my uncle will say that my father is unfilial."
Shen Wan frowned. Isn't this moral kidnapping? If parents are really sick and ask for money, it is natural. If they are not sick and pretend to be sick to ask for money, it is a bit disgusting.
"Ask your friend to borrow it! He can even ride in a carriage. I guess he is a rich man." Lu Changgen pointed to the carriage.
"Can't borrow." How could he ask Mrs. Song to borrow money?
"Why can't I borrow it? Isn't he your friend? I know you are unfilial and just want to see your mother die of illness!" Lu Changgen's voice became much louder, attracting passers-by's glances.
"I..." Seeing that many people were looking at him, Lu Wenqin lowered his head in embarrassment.
Shen Wan really didn't want to let Lu Wenqin waste time here and be misunderstood.
She asked Qiu Ju to pay two taels of silver and asked Youfu to get out of the car and hand it over to Lu Wenqin.
"Mr. Lu, this is lent to you by my master."
"This..." Lu Wenqin blushed looking at the two taels of silver, but did not reach out to take it.
Lu Changgen snatched the money from Youfu's hand and muttered: "It's really stingy to borrow such a small amount of money to ride in such a good carriage."
"You..." Youfu looked at Lu Changgen and wanted to scold his mother. He, who used his parents' illness as an excuse to ask for money from his younger brother, had the nerve to borrow so little money from his wife?
After the money was obtained, Lu Changgen took the money and left without any further entanglement.
Lu Wenqin blushed and got into the carriage with Youfu. When they arrived at the Zhaixing Building, the building was already full of guests. When shopkeeper Zhao saw Shen Wan coming, he arranged a private room for his boss to use on weekdays.
When they arrived at Yajian'er, Shen Wan asked Qiu Ju and Youfu to greet the Lu family and his son, and then went downstairs to find shopkeeper Zhao.
There were many people in the front, and there were strangers in the private room, so the two went to the pavilion in the backyard to talk.
"Mrs. Shen..."
"Green vegetables." As soon as shopkeeper Zhao opened his mouth, Shen Wan knew what he was going to say.
"Hehehe..." Shopkeeper Zhao laughed, "Mrs. Shen is the one who knows me."
