Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

”Ha! All that big talk. Aren’t you afraid you’ll bite your tongue? Who wants to get in on this ’benefit’ of yours! Anyway, our family isn’t lending you any money! Even if we had it, we wouldn’t lend it to you!”

Guo Chunxiang sneered at Shen Jian Country and Shen Nian. Her only goal was to humiliate the Shen Family, so there was no way she would ever lend them money!

’It’d be best to watch the Shen family get turned down everywhere, begging and groveling to everyone they know. Now *that* would be satisfying!’

”Eldest Aunt, we’re all relatives. Are you really going to be so absolute about this?”

”Hmph. In any case, if you want to borrow money, there’s not a chance!”

”Even if there’s a benefit for you, Eldest Aunt, you still won’t lend us the money?”

”No means no!”

”Since you insist on being so heartless, Eldest Aunt, then we have nothing more to say. Just one thing: when the time comes and whoever *does* lend us money receives that benefit, I hope you and your family don’t get green with envy.”

”Ha! What a joke. Me, envious? What is there for me to be envious of!”

”Just as long as you remember what you’ve said today, Eldest Aunt. Lending is a voluntary act, and we certainly won’t force anyone.”

After saying this to Guo Chunxiang, Shen Nian turned to look at Miao Changfu.

”Eldest Uncle, you’re the head of the family. Do my aunt’s words represent your opinion as well?”

”Why, you little brat, Shen Nian! Trying to sow discord in our family! Of course what I say goes! Changfu, tell her! Does it go or not!”

Miao Changfu heaved a long sigh, his expression sour.

”Xiao Nian, about lending money... I’m afraid our family won’t be able to help.”

”Alright. Since that is your choice, Eldest Uncle, we understand.”

With that said, Shen Nian ignored her eldest uncle’s family and turned her gaze to her second uncle, Miao Changshuang, and his family.

”Second Uncle, what about you?”

Of all the Miao brothers, the eldest, Miao Changfu, and his family had received the most benefits. However, the one who was best off was Second Uncle Miao Changshuang, who had married a rich wife.

However, Shen Nian’s wealthy second aunt, while not as domineering as the eldest aunt, was an incredibly stingy person.

Even though her family was clearly well-off, she was extraordinarily tight-fisted and would never let anyone take the slightest advantage of them.

’As for borrowing money from them? Ha, dream on!’

”Ah, Xiao Nian, our family has been having some cash flow issues recently. I’m afraid we won’t be able to lend you much.”

Sure enough, that was the answer Shen Nian received from Second Uncle Miao Changshuang.

”Second Uncle, no matter how much, our family will accept the kindness.”

Miao Changshuang had hoped to just brush the topic aside, but he never expected Shen Nian to be so blunt.

’When I said I couldn’t lend much, I didn’t really mean I could lend *some*! It was just a nice way of saying I couldn’t lend anything at all!’

”Well... I’m afraid we can’t lend you anything after all.”

”I see. Understood.”

With that, Shen Nian didn’t look at her second uncle’s family again. She turned her head and looked toward her youngest uncle.

However, before Shen Nian could even speak, her youngest uncle, Miao Changquan, spoke up himself.

”Xiao Nian, I don’t have a lot in savings, so I’m afraid I can’t help you all that much. But think of it as a small gesture from me. I’ll go withdraw the money and give it to you in a bit.”

Unlike his two wealthy older brothers, Youngest Uncle Miao Changquan offered to lend them money without Shen Nian even having to open her mouth.

Although it wasn’t a lot of money, Miao Changquan’s actions brought a bit of warmth to the Shen family, whose hearts had been chilled by the conduct of the two older uncles.

But to Shen Nian, this result was not the least bit surprising.

’She could offer a benefit, but whether or not they received it was entirely dependent on their own choices.’
