Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Eloquent

Since she said to endure it, Junping didn’t bother her anymore.

”Just bear with it,” she thought. ”Being thirsty for a little while won’t kill her.”

Seeing that there was no need to boil water, Qin Fen started nudging Junping to speak up, ”Mom, didn’t you say you had something to talk to Sister-in-Law about? Then hurry up and say it, we’re all waiting.”

”These are your words, don’t wave my flag for that.” Junping didn’t want to offend An Hao at the moment.

After all, the An Family had not stinted on sending them vegetables over the past six months.

If they had to buy them, how much would that have cost?

Besides, An Hao and Yueqin didn’t get along. What the Song Family did really wasn’t right; anyone who heard it would find it unreasonable.

Why should they borrow money from the An Family?

She couldn’t say those words.

She guessed An Hao wouldn’t want to lend it either, so Junping simply didn’t bring it up.

Seeing his mother remain silent, Qin Fen took the initiative and said, ”Sister-in-Law, as you know, I am getting married to Yueqin. You’ve seen our family’s situation; we don’t have money for the bride price. We’ve discussed it and thought about borrowing some money from you first to pay Aunt Zhang the bride price.”

An Hao let out a cold laugh, ”Oh, you’ve all discussed it? I’m sorry, but I don’t have any money.”

Even if she had money, she wouldn’t lend it to Qin Fen.

”Sister-in-Law, my brother didn’t give you a small amount of money when he married you, did he?”

”Wasn’t that money the bride price? The bride price isn’t in my hands, it all went to my father.”

”Sister-in-Law, as you can see, I’m not getting any younger. I’m eager to get married, do you think you could have a word with Uncle An? Maybe I could borrow some money? I see that An Ping’s business is doing well; he must have some spare cash, right?” Qin Fen didn’t give up, insisting on borrowing the money.

With a restrained smile, An Hao said, ”Look at what you’re saying. If it were like you said, wouldn’t we have given you the money? The key point is, this isn’t the case. An Ping needs to expand his business next, and he is even complaining to me about being short on money.”

What An Hao said was as infuriating as it could get.

If it weren’t because he needed something from her, Qin Fen really would have liked to hit her.

Yueqin, holding back her anger but wearing a smile, said, ”An Hao, there were indeed some unpleasant things between us in the past. I hope you don’t hold on to those past grievances. Whatever it is, Qin Jian is still your brother-in-law. If you could help, it would mean a lot. Once I’m married, we’ll each live our lives. You don’t need to guard against me now, do you?”

An Hao couldn’t help but sarcastically chuckle at that.

The words were full of passive-aggressive digs at An Hao, as if she was the one who put them in this difficult situation.

An Hao remained calm, speaking in an unhurried tone, ”We have a conflict? When was that? I can’t seem to remember. You have quite the memory to recall it so clearly.”

”You...” She was obviously playing dumb!

When it came to being tactful and quick-witted, Yueqin was far inferior to An Hao.

She was nothing but a green tea bitch, yet here she was, pretending to be a pure white lotus.

”What about me?” An Hao’s lips curved into a slight smile, appearing gentle and amiable, yet her words were laced with hidden blades, ”Qin Fen, I know you’re in a tough spot, but this isn’t a problem my mother or I have caused for you. You and Yueqin have love for each other, how could the bride price be a barrier? Since your future mother-in-law is also looking forward to your marriage, there’s no need for a bride price now, right?”

Upon hearing this, Juyun became anxious, ”That won’t do! If we marry off our daughter without a bride price, people will think there’s something wrong with Yueqin, as if she’s so desperate to get married she’d pay the groom!”

An Hao winked at Junping, then smiled as she opened a drawer, took out some paper and a pen, and slapped them down onto the table, ”I have a great idea to solve this problem for you.”
