Su Qingyue didnât speak, Xiao Yuchuanâs facial expression wasnât good, âFuquan, weâve had a good relationship since we were little, and youâve seen the situation in my family. Iâm not blaming you. How could I not know the difficulties in your family? Donât tell me your family canât survive. You know very well whether your family can make it or not. To pay off debt is justified, and nobody can say itâs wrong. Howeverâ¦â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
His tone changed, somewhat annoyed, âDidnât you see that my second brother and I have both fallen now, and itâs all on my wife to support the whole family. Canât you wait until I get better, or my second brother gets better, to ask us for debt? You know full well that we have no money right now, so why push my wife so hard? If it were anyone else, I wouldnât ask for this kind of leniency either, but what about us? Arenât our many years of brotherhood worth even one and a half taels?â
âIâm sorryâ¦â Zhou Fuquanâs face was full of guilt, âItâs my fault for not disciplining my wife well. â
âDonât just push everything on a woman.â
âI really told her, and I told my mom too. Women just have long hair and short sightâ¦â
Xiao Yuchuan was very disappointed, âScholars say that if you receive a little help from others, you should repay it. Arenât you supposed to repay it well? If you donât appreciate our brotherhood, remember that my second brother saved your life when you were nearly drowned in the river. Isnât your life worth at least one and a half taels?â
âIâ¦â Zhou Fuquanâs guilt deepened, âIâve always remembered the kindness of second Brother Xiao. I didnât know my mom and wife would act like this. As soon as I knew, I scolded them both and rushed to your house to apologizeâ¦â
He took out half a tael of broken silver from his pocket, âI borrowed this secretly from outside. You can use it firstâ¦â
âNo need,â Su Qingyue declined, âThe Xiao Family can get by without your help. Besides, since we havenât fully paid off our debt to your family, youâre now going behind their backs to borrow money. If your family finds out, you wonât be let off easily.â
âIt was my mom and wife who were too much to start withâ¦â
Xiao Yishanâs face was cold as he said, âTake it back. The Xiao Family will not borrow your money again.â
âSecond Brother Xiaoâ¦â Zhou Fuquan always respected his savior.
âI donât blame you,â Xiao Yishanâs voice was distant and polite, âEvery family has its own difficulties. Itâs normal for your wife and mother to worry about the money theyâve lent to the Xiao Family not being repaid. Rest assured that as soon as I am well, I will pay you back as soon as possible. If I donât recover, even if the Xiao Family has to sell our house, weâll repay the silver.â
âThatâs not necessary, Second Brother Xiao,â Zhou Fuquan hurriedly waved his hand, âI really didnât mean it like that⦠I didnât want this kind of thing to
happenâ¦â
âItâs already happened because you didnât keep your wife and motherâs mouths in check,â Xiao Yuchuan snorted coldly, âYouâd better leave before I get angry.â
âYuchuanâ¦â
âOther people pressing my wife for debt is one thing, but your family doing the same after just a few days? Get lost!â
âDonât dawdle. Youâre annoying to look at.â
Su Qingyue also spoke coldly, âBrother Zhou, youâd better leave. You donât need to worry about the Xiao Familyâs affairs. My second brother and third brother are both sick, and you shouldnât affect their mood. As for todayâs events, itâs understandable because people are selfish. I donât blame Cuihua.â
âAlrightâ¦alright then.â Zhou Fuquan still wanted to give Su Qingyue the half tael of silver, but seeing her heading to the kitchen and looking at Second Brother Xiao and Yuchuan, he sighed and left the Xiao Familyâs courtyard in a gloomy mood..
