Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 85 - 85 Money

85 Money

There would be at least twenty tables at the wedding.

The banquet might not be as luxurious as the one for Shao Yunduan’s wedding, yet one bowl of chicken and one bowl of meat would definitely have to be served.

Yang Liang and his wife were annoying, but the bridegroom was her own son, and Yang Xiaoni was going to spend the rest of her life with him. Therefore, she could not make the wedding look too shabby, otherwise Yang Xiaoni might not be so happy about this, not now maybe, but most likely in the future.

Ms. Fang did want the wedding to be the ‘hidden bomb’ in the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law. So, she decided to make it look good.

But where was she going to get the money to pay for the bill?

Before she went to bed at night, Ms. Fang sat in bed and did the calculation with Elder Uncle. They would need at least 2 liang for the wedding.

The problem was that the wedding gift had already cost them everything and they did not have 2 liang at all!

“…Duan has just got married and now it is our third son’s turn. This is totally beyond anticipation. Only if he doesn’t hold the wedding until two years later. But… Ms. Qiao already offered us 10 liang for the wedding. Though she explained the reason to us, yet it is her kindness! We must not ask her for any more money for the wedding!”

“We should not take money as loan from her either. Also, Ms. Qiao is not going to ask us to pay her back. That would be immoral on our part!”

“Also, let me tell you, we can’t even pay for Duan’s examination next year. By that time, Ms. Qiao is going to pay for his fees, because it is her husband who is going to the examination. This is how our current situation is…”

What she meant was that they could not possibly ask Qiao Xuan to loan them any more money for Shao Sanlang’s wedding this time.

They could not just bully her just because she was rich.

Eldest Uncle also got annoyed. “We can’t even spare 2 liang?”

Ms. Fang sneered. “You really have no idea what is going on?”

Eldest Uncle looked dazed, and could not utter a word.

His two brothers kept borrowing money from him and he was well aware of this…

“What about me asking my brothers about the money tomorrow?”

Ms. Fang sneered inwardly, but she agreed. “That is good, you can try tomorrow, or we can also try to come up with some other ideas.”

Early next morning, Elder Uncle went to the second section of the family and the third section of the family for money.

But the result was well on the predicted lines.

“Elder Brother, we need your help all the time. Of course we don’t have any spare money! We can definitely lend you some if we do have any in stock. We are family, aren’t we?”

“Brother, Liulang is studying right now and we are barely making ends meet. We need your help, rather than being able to help you!”

“Why not ask Ms. Qiao? She has so much dowry. 2 liang is so small an amount for her! I don’t think she even considers 2 liang as a big amount.”

“Go and ask Ms. Qiao, she has wasted so much money on the lands and splurged so much. Won’t she even want to offer any money for your real business? That is so rude of her!”

Eldest Uncle felt so annoyed after speaking with his brothers.

He could sense that they did have some savings, but… maybe he had thought too much?

As for Ms. Qiao… he really could not turn to Ms. Qiao for help!

Eldest Uncle felt extremely distressed.
