Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

Chapter 704: People can’t, or at least shouldn’t? !

Li Sanlang nodded, "Yes, I said I would give you ten taels of silver. Didn't my parents ask me to come here today to discuss the dowry? This is all the money I have and I won't hide it. If I tell you earlier, won't everyone be satisfied?"

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she immediately became unhappy.

"Third brother, what do you mean by this?" Old Mrs. Zheng was still holding the large handkerchief that she had just used to wipe her tears. It looked dirty and wet, and no one knew what she had used to wipe her tears.

Old Mrs. Zheng hit Li Sanlang hard with the handkerchief in her hand. Li Sanlang dodged subconsciously, and the handkerchief hit Li Dalang on the head. The handkerchief was still very heavy after being wet, and Li Dalang cried out in pain. However, he didn't like the handkerchief because it was very dirty and didn't want to touch it, so he jumped up and let the handkerchief roll off his body.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Mom, are you hitting the third brother or me? This handkerchief..."

Why is this handkerchief so disgusting and dirty? Don’t you even need to wash it?

"I am telling the truth, mother. Tell me, should I buy makeup for Mei'e? If you say no, I will keep the money and consider it as a misunderstanding of you. I will apologize to you now." Li Sanlang said immediately.

What's the point of apologizing? Two nice words can be worth ten taels of silver? But now I can't admit that I asked him to come here just to add to the dowry, wouldn't that be a disguised way of reversing what I just said?

But if I don't say anything, I'll seem too guilty, and that would be so embarrassing.

Old Mrs. Zheng gritted her teeth and cursed Zhang and Li Mingxia countless times in her heart.

Yes, until now she still thinks that Li Sanlang did this because he listened to Li Mingxia and Zhang. It was those two women who instigated Li Sanlang. Otherwise, how could he, an honest country bumpkin, suddenly become like this?

But Li Sanlang is not a good guy, otherwise why wouldn’t he listen to her!

Old Master Li looked at the ten taels of silver in front of him. It wasn't much, but it wasn't less either.

With Li Sanlang's current wealth, ten taels of silver were not enough. However, in this village, for a brother to give a dowry to his sister, one or two taels of silver was a sky-high price, and ten taels of silver was unheard of.

So even if Old Lady Zheng really risked her old face to speak out and scold Li Sanlang, others would only say that Li Sanlang was a kind-hearted brother and a good son. No one would say that Li Sanlang was a bad person. Some people would even say that Old Lady Zheng was heartless and didn't know how to be satisfied.

Although Old Mrs. Zheng is a bully at home and thinks it is justified to bully her son and daughter-in-law, it does not mean that she really cannot understand these things.

But for Li Mei'e, ten taels of silver was really not enough, and even twenty taels of silver was not enough either. What Mr. Li wanted today was to ask Li Sanlang to give fifty taels of silver.

He had already made up his mind. He did not directly ask Li Sanlang for the fifty taels of silver. He would consider it as a loan. Even if Li Sanlang was unwilling, as a father he had already said so much, there was no way he would not agree, right?

As for when...

Mr. Li didn't intend not to pay it back, but if he didn't have it, how could he pay it back? He couldn't go out and do hard labor at his age, could he? He could only pay it back year by year, with as much money as he had left?

Li Sanlang is not short of food and drink now, and he can't force his own parents to death because of these fifty taels of silver.

As for Li Mei'e? Li Sanlang would never ask Li Mei'e for money, and Mr. Li knew this.

Everything was planned well, but as soon as Li Sanlang arrived, he was surrounded by Old Lady Zheng and Li Dalang, attacking him from both sides. Even Li Mei'e joined in talking about Li Sanlang.

Now Mr. Li is a little confused. Do they know that they were the ones who begged Li Sanlang to do this?

If Li Sanlang was still the easy-going Li Sanlang, Mr. Li would have turned a blind eye to it, but now Li Sanlang would no longer give money while being scolded.

But Mr. Li is also very confused now. In the past, Li Sanlang was obviously on their side. He even once severely reprimanded Li Mingxia because of them.

When did it become like this?

Did it start when Old Lady Zheng started to beat and scold him? Or did it start when Li Mei'e said she didn't recognize Li Sanlang as her third brother? Or did it start when Zhang lost her child?

It seems like neither is true.

Mr. Li felt that he could no longer see his son clearly.

But these are not the most important things now. The most important thing is that the situation has become like this. Mr. Li doesn’t know how to ask Li Sanlang to borrow money.

"I only have these ten taels of silver. I will keep the remaining ten taels of silver to buy some food and drink for my child's mother. His mother had a miscarriage before, and now she is pregnant with great difficulty. Don't tell me that I have the conditions. I just don't have it. I will go to dig coal in a black coal mine to earn some food and drink for my child's mother." Li Sanlang pushed the ten taels of silver to Mr. Li and Mrs. Zheng, and the remaining ten taels were returned to his own arms.

Old Master Li watched Li Sanlang's actions and listened to what Li Sanlang had just said, and his original plan could no longer be expressed.

"What can you do with ten taels of silver? No!" Old Mrs. Zheng said directly.

When Li Mei'e heard that her mother supported her, she suddenly became energetic.

"Yes, what can ten taels of silver buy? The two big gold bracelets they sent me cost dozens of taels of silver. Third brother, can you stop being so stingy? You are rich now, so what if you give me a few hundred taels of silver? If I live a good life in the future, I won't accept your money even if you beg me to do it. Why don't you feel sorry for me and mother? You only care about yourself. People like you are the most selfish. No wonder mother said..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Old Mrs. Zheng suddenly coughed loudly, interrupting Li Mei'e's words.

Li Sanlang did not hear what Mrs. Zheng said to Li Mei'e, but in fact he did not need to listen, as he could guess it.

Hundreds of taels of silver, you are so bold.

"Why don't you sell your third brother and see if he's worth a few hundred taels of silver." Li Sanlang glanced at Li Mei'e with a smile.

"So it's our honor to spend money on you, and we also want to thank you for giving us this opportunity. If you live a good life in the future, we can't rely on you, and we can't even have anything to do with you? Is that what you mean?"

Li Sanlang's words made Mr. Li's eyes go dark. He thought that no matter how stupid Li Mei'e was, she would know that she couldn't admit these words at this time, right?
