He was afraid that the people in the gambling house would know that the Ning family was out of money, so Mr. Ning directly supported his wife to the flower hall, and Ning Ruyu also followed from the side hall.
Mrs. Ning was sitting on the chair, no longer as energetic as she was at the beginning. This person had aged several years all of a sudden.
She took a long breath and sighed: "Our Ning family is also a reputable family. We can't embarrass our ancestors, let alone make people laugh at our Ning family. This money must be paid back today.
How much money do you have?
Let's chip it in..." Before Ning Ruyu could finish her grandmother's words, she said sharply: "This is the gambling debt owed by my second uncle, why should we chip in?"
Mr. Ning glared at his niece fiercely, how could this damn girl talk?
Mrs. Ning frowned in displeasure. This girl used to be a very smart person, why can't she take this matter lightly?
If the money is not collected to repay it, it will be of no benefit to anyone, including her. If outsiders know that the Ning family has been defeated, she will not be able to have a good marriage.
Also, they are a family to begin with. What matters between you and me and her second uncle is the matter of the entire Ning family.
"Then you won't pay it back?
Let everyone know that your second uncle owes 20,000 taels of gambling debt. Let everyone know that our Ning family has been defeated and cannot even get out 20,000 taels of silver. Let everyone in Jiangzhou City see our Ning family.
A joke?”
"I..." Ning Ruyu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, so she closed her mouth again.
She didn't want people to know that the Ning family was in decline, nor did she want to be laughed at.
If her little sisters and the young masters who admired her knew that the Ning family was in decline, they would definitely look down on her and not support her like before, and they might even make fun of her.
She had seen this kind of thing more than once.
Seeing that her granddaughter was silent, Mrs. Ning said again: "In addition to the ten thousand taels of silver, I can also come up with two thousand taels. Where are you, my wife?"
She knew that the eldest son did not care about money, and all the money was in the hands of the eldest daughter-in-law.
The eldest daughter-in-law's natal family is a wealthy businessman in the imperial city. When the eldest daughter-in-law married into their Calais, she brought a very generous dowry with her. She could afford a lot of money.
Mrs. Ning's face changed. What's the matter? The second son had lost all his money and didn't explain it. He also asked their eldest son to collect money to repay the gambling debt he owed.
The corners of her eyes twitched uncontrollably, and she suppressed her anger and said, "I can only come up with two thousand taels of silver."
For these two thousand dollars, she could just send him away as a beggar.
As soon as she said this, the faces of Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning and Mr. Ning were full of disbelief.
Her mother-in-law's family was so rich that she had two shops in the Imperial City as a dowry. Although the shop was in the Imperial City, the money they earned would be given to her every year.
Where is the Imperial City?
Those two shops can earn at least two thousand taels of silver throughout the year, right?
Over the years, all her food, clothing and expenses have been spent with the public's money. If she has only 10,000 yuan of money, she still has 8,000 yuan.
Ning Erye said: "Sister-in-law, you can only give out two thousand taels of silver?
Who believes it?"
"Believe it or not, I can only take out so much."
Mrs. Ning sneered, "Besides, when this matter is over, we will separate our families."
All the money in the old lady's hands had been taken out. As the second bedroom was so shrewd and rogue, it was natural that she would not use the money to subsidize the father-in-law.
Now that she is in charge of the middle husband, if she is still with the second wife, wouldn't she be asked to use the dowry to support the second wife?
She wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
When she got married, her parents' family owned two shops. However, in the past two years, her parents' business also had problems, and her father took back the two shops.
Even though the shop was in a royal city, it didn't make much money. It could only earn a few hundred taels of silver throughout the year.
