Chapter 70

Ruan Erwu sighed, and said quietly, "Actually, this bit of meat is nothing, just give it."

Ruan Mengmeng was speechless.

Seeing that the two of them were depressed, Liu He greeted Ruan Erniu to make lunch.

After lunch, the family was resting in the house, but Zhao Meifeng went into the house and called Ruan Erwu out alone, not even letting them follow.

Ruan Mengmeng guessed that there was a ghost, and secretly speculated in her heart.

Calling Ruan Erwu out of the house, and under the shade of a tree with no one around, Zhao Meifeng said, "Second brother, my mother asked you to come out because I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Can you show me some silver?"

Ruan Erwu frowned, "Where did I get the money?"

Zhao Meifeng glanced at him, and deliberately stretched out her hand to wipe her eyes, as if she was wiping tears, "I don't ask you for money, I borrow it, and the money I borrowed is not for my own use, but for your third brother's study."

"Your third brother needs 100 taels of silver to study. You also know that my father and I can't afford 100 taels of silver. We can only rely on you and your elder brother to get it."

"With money, you can study. In the future, your third brother will be able to take the first prize and be able to honor our ancestors. Your father and I have supported him so diligently in the hope that he will be successful and that our family will be successful. In this way After your father and I died, we met our ancestors and told them that we, the old Ruan family, can produce a top scholar, right?"

The more I talked about it, the more emotional it seemed. Zhao Meifeng was pretending to cry, but now she really started crying.

Ruan Erwu was at a loss when he saw her crying. Although Ruan Erwu was chilling towards her, it was his mother. Seeing his mother crying so sadly in front of him, Ruan Erwu's heart softened, but he still had some reason left. He didn't agree to her directly, but said, "Mother, I owed a few hundred taels of silver for my third brother, and now I have to pay back the silver every month, and I can't afford a few silver coins to give to my third brother."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Meifeng looked at him with blurred tears and said, "How much money can you give?"

"I...I have to take a look." The money is not in his hands, and he has to discuss it with Ruan Mengmeng.

Zhao Meifeng heard the words, and said quietly, "Mother hopes that you can come up with five or sixty taels of silver. In this way, it is easy to get together 60 taels. If you can make up the money, mother will definitely return it to you when she has silver. You Don't worry."

Having said that, Ruan Erwu didn't expect Zhao Meifeng and the others to really pay back the money. Ruan Sanwu didn't work, and he still had to spend money on studying. It was good that the money they earned as a couple could take care of themselves, but they still expected them to pay back the money?

Ruan Erwu glanced at her, sighed, nodded, and walked into the room.

When he entered the room, Ruan Mengmeng saw that his expression was not right, he seemed a little troubled, her heart sank, Zhao Meifeng must have said something to him, and it was not a good thing, otherwise Ruan Erwu would not have such an expression.

"Jiaohua!" Ruan Erwu spoke after seemingly struggling for a while.

Ruan Mengmeng narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "What's the matter, Dad?"

"Then... can you come up with 50 taels of silver?"

Ruan Mengmeng pursed her lips, with a sarcastic smile on her face.

Ruan Erwu looked at her and murmured, "Can you take it out?"

"Father's 50 taels of silver is for grandma, right?"

Ruan Erwu nodded, "Mother asked me to borrow 50 taels of silver."

Ruan Mengmeng said amusedly, "Dad, do you know how much money we still owe?"

Ruan Erwu nodded.

"Since Dad knows that we have to pay back more than 80 taels of silver next month, why does he ask me for silver to lend to grandma? I have lent it to her, what should we use to earn money and pay it back?"

"We still have a few dozen taels on hand. After borrowing 50 taels, we still have a little left. This amount of money is enough for us to make money, isn't it? In the past, we could earn back ten taels of silver in a month, and it shouldn't be a problem now. Right?" He explained.

Ruan Mengmeng said coldly, "Before, we were lucky enough to earn so much. We can't make such a good calculation. What if we can't make it? What will our family do?"

Ruan Erwu's expression turned ugly.

"Head of the family, what does mother want to borrow so much money? Didn't she just take away 1000 taels a month ago? What place does she think we are here? Yinzhuang? How much do you want to take?" Liu He was a little confused when he said this. resentment.

Now that she owed so much money, she was so worried that Zhao Meifeng still had the face to borrow it again.

Ruan Erwu murmured, "My third brother wants to study and needs 100 taels of silver. Mom wants to borrow it from me."

"She cried very sadly and said she would explain to the ancestors underground. I...I think I should take out the money."

Liu He was considerate of him. Hearing this, she said awkwardly, "Although we say so, our family has really given out so much money. Our family of four will be very sad. If we can't earn as much as Jiaohua said, If we come, can the loan shark let us go?"

"Those people are very vicious. If they don't get the money, they will definitely be cruel. I'm afraid..."

Ruan Erwu sighed deeply and didn't speak any more.

Seeing his embarrassment, Ruan Mengmeng gritted her teeth, itching with hatred. Does he know what's going on?Their family was about to be forced to death, but he still wanted to be filial to his mother and give them money!

Taking a deep breath, Ruan Mengmeng said, "Father, don't even think about borrowing money. I won't give it to you. I'll find a house right now, and our family will move out from here."

"Going to move out?" Liu He looked at her suspiciously.

Ruan Mengmeng said indifferently, "If you don't move out, grandma may use this excuse to ask us to borrow money, so let's move out, not to mention, we should really move out, the new business I plan to start requires renting a house, and here is also It's useless."

Liu He nodded, seeming a bit reluctant, "I've lived here for more than ten years, and I'm not used to moving suddenly."

"Mom, see what you can do. I'm going to find a house and rent it now."

After the words fell, she walked out alone.

After she left, Ruan Erwu sighed deeply.

Liu He looked at Ruan Erwu and said, "Master, don't do this. There is nothing we can do about it."

Ruan Erwu said quietly, "I don't know how to tell my mother. I promised to lend her money. I don't think I can say this."

Liu He frowned, "Why did you agree?"

"I'm not..." Ruan Erwu paused helplessly.

Liu He bit her lip and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll go back to your mother. Anyway, I can go back with the cheek. We don't have any money, what can she do?"

"No, I'd better go, if Niang talks about you, how can you bear it." He knows her temper best, if Zhao Meifeng said a few words, she would definitely be scolded like a gourd.

"Didn't you say you couldn't say it?" Liu He asked.
