Mrs. Lu originally wanted to scold her eldest son, but she thought that her eldest son had already divorced her and was unwilling to go home. If she scolded him now, wouldn't she push him further?

In addition, I came here to ask for money, so I had to comfort my son first.

So she could only suppress her annoyance and respond: "Since you have already decided, I won't say anything else. I will just come to attend your wedding with Yun Niang tomorrow."

Lu Song breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and looked at his mother with a gentler look.

As soon as Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she immediately spoke again: "But Song'er, since you are getting married, can you lend some money to your mother and Cheng'er to buy some new clothes and jewelry for your wedding tomorrow morning... …”

Seeing his mother asking him for money for this reason, Lu Song felt slightly sad for a moment, subconsciously feeling that his mother had indeed suffered during these days.

No matter how angry he is, he shouldn't neglect his mother like this. Although she favors Cheng'er a little, she hasn't been thinking about herself these years.

"Go and get 100 taels of silver." Lu Song smoothly ordered the servant next to him.

Nowadays, the business of his shop is sluggish, and he doesn't have much money. These 100 taels were not taken out casually, but out of guilt, he gave a lot more according to his inner estimation.

However, when Mrs. Lu heard that he only asked people to take 100 taels of silver, her eyes suddenly froze.

"How can 100 taels be enough?"

How can 100 taels deal with those vicious people?

What they want is one thousand and one hundred taels!

Lu Song frowned when his mother said this, but still asked, "How much do you want, mother?"

Mrs. Lu blurted out: "Song'er, do you have enough money? Mom still wants another 1000 taels..."

In the end, even she felt that it was a bit outrageous. After all, she couldn't spend so much money on clothes and jewelry. Even if it was left to the former Lu family, it would still be a huge expense.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Cheng's expression change.

But before Lu Cheng could say anything, Yun Niang came in from outside, her voice slightly sharp: "1000 taels?"

"Aunt, what do you want so much money for?" Yun Niang was angry and anxious, and her good mood that she would finally be able to marry her cousin tomorrow was wiped out.

If it were in the past, when Lu Song still lived with Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu controlled the marriage, Yun Niang would never dare to talk to her like this.

But now, she thinks that she has more than a dozen shops under her control, she is already a wealthy businessman's wife, and her son is a reading prodigy and must be a future official, so she has a lot of confidence.

Lu Song was too surprised, so he didn't scold Yun Niang for being disrespectful.

He still remembers the kindness Yun Niang and Lu Wen had when they ran around for him last time, so of course he also remembers how his mother and brother made things worse for them at that time!

Mrs. Lu didn't expect that Yun Niang would dare to speak to her in this tone. She was a little uncomfortable for a while, but then she quickly straightened her face: "Yun Niang, now that you have a man to support you, you dare to challenge your aunt, right? !”

But Yun Niang didn't listen to her. She also remembered Mrs. Lu's last incident of stealing money. She immediately sneered: "Aunt, no matter who I challenge, I still have to reason with them!"

"You don't even look at it. It's only been a month since the last time you took away more than 100 taels. My cousin and I didn't spend so much this month with Song'er. Why do you want to spend 1000 taels?" ?”

"Could it be that Lu Song went gambling again? How much did he lose this time? 1000 taels?"

Yun Niang spoke very quickly, heading towards Mrs. Lu like a barrage of firecrackers.

But she didn't expect that her original intention to ridicule Mrs. Lu was to hit the truth, which made Mrs. Lu's face stiffen and she felt guilty.

Lu Song was looking at her face, and when he saw this, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "Mom! Is Lu Cheng gambling again?"

Mrs. Lu said sarcastically: "He knows he was wrong, and he really doesn't dare to do it after this time..."

After hearing the truth, Lu Song understood why his mother came here today and why she wanted so much money.

He suddenly became furious: "A spoiled child is like a murderer. You know clearly that Lu Cheng is a gambler, why don't you watch him more closely!"

Seeing her son's rage, Mrs. Lu panicked and felt helpless as never before: "Song'er, I know that I was really wrong this time, but I can't do it without these one thousand and one hundred taels of silver. Those people said that if they don't pay back tomorrow, Go ahead and chop off Cheng Er's lifeblood! Can you bear to watch your brother cut off his descendants?"

Of course Lu Song couldn't accept this, and his original intention was not to see Lu Cheng really being chased for gambling debts.

But Yun Niang over there didn't think so. She couldn't help but secretly thought that people like Lu Cheng should cut off their descendants. Is there any need to continue the bloodline of people like him?

Maybe some little gamblers will come out to pick on my cousin in the future!

Moreover, Yun Niang didn't want to spend more than 1000 taels of silver at all. She knew better than outsiders what her own business was like now.

There are more than a dozen shops, and it would be good to have two or three that still make a small profit.

She couldn't help but start thinking in the past two days. If it didn't work out, she would sell the shop and pay back the profits...

At that time, there will be an extra one thousand five hundred and six hundred taels of silver, which is enough for their family's expenses for the time being. She will think of other ways later.

The one thousand, one hundred taels that Madam Lu asked for was almost half of the money that Yun Niang had prepared to pocket. How could she be willing to give it!

And she still doesn’t dare to tell her cousin about borrowing money from profits...

"Cousin, we can't give you this money!"

If they give it, they will only have four, five hundred taels of silver left. They can't even hire a teacher for Song'er for long. How can their family live?

When Mrs. Lu saw that her son hadn't spoken yet, Yun Niang refused directly and immediately cursed: "You little hooves, when will you be able to speak when Song'er and I discuss things?"

Yun Niang was also unwilling to admit defeat: "I will soon be the wife of my cousin Ming Yuan. Why don't I have the right to speak?"

"The day you haven't married Song'er, the day you are no longer the daughter-in-law of our Lu family!"

At this moment, the two of them had no trace of the intimacy they had before, and each looked more hateful than the other.

Seeing the two people arguing more and more fiercely, Lu Song finally said: "That's enough!"

The two women finally fell silent and looked at him, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Lu Song finally came to a conclusion: "Mom, I will take these one thousand and one hundred taels of silver back to you and pay off Lu Cheng's gambling debt first."

Mrs. Lu's face was filled with joy, but the face of Yun Niang next to her suddenly turned gloomy.

"Song'er, I know you still remember our Lu family in your heart."

Seeing that she was happy, Lu Song poured cold water on her: "Give these one thousand and one hundred taels of silver to mother. Our Lu family will be separated from now on. I will never give Lu Cheng another piece of money."

Mrs. Lu's face changed instantly: "Song'er, mother is still fine. Your brother hasn't married yet, how can our Lu family separate?"

Lu Song said coldly: "If mother doesn't agree, I won't pay these one thousand or one hundred taels."
