Chapter 151: Agree to Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Jidong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Su Ze had no objections. He did not want his son and daughter to be estranged because of this.
At the thought of this, Su Jidong started to worry again. Su Ze was already so old. The children in the same village had already gotten married and had children. For some reason, although they had taken a fancy to a few girls, when they asked the matchmaker to ask the family, they were tactfully rejected.
He could not understand. His son was clearly handsome and there was nothing wrong with him. Were these people blind?
When Su Li heard their conversation, her heart warmed. This was the warmth of a family. No matter what you did, someone would stand behind you unconditionally.
Su Jidong looked at Jiao Yuying and ordered, “Quickly take out the silver and give it to our daughter.”
“Yes!” Jiao Yuying replied, then turned around and walked into the house.
Soon, she walked out with ten taels of silver in her hand.
Jiao Yuying handed the silver to Su Li. “Daughter, take it.”
They had saved up this silver bit by bit from the crops they have harvested over the years. They really couldn’t bear to take it out at once.
Su Li felt her eyes sting. “Thank you, Mother!”
Jiao Yuying smiled at her and said, “There’s no need to thank me. We’re family.”
When Wang Chunhua and the others saw the silver in Su Li’s hand, they were like hungry wolves seeing meat.
“Hurry up and give me the silver.” Wang Chunhua’s tone was very excited.
Su Li snorted and said, “You didn’t give me the previous document. I won’t give you this silver. If I give you the silver, what if you go back on your word? I remember that the village chief still has a document, right?”
Wang Chunhua quickly said, “Come back with us and we will return the document to you in front of the village chief.”
Su Li continued, “You have to sign another document in front of the village chief. In the future, there will be no connection between the people in your old residence and us, the third branch. The lives of the two of you elderly have nothing to do with my family.”
Old He said unhappily, “We’ve already decided to return the document to you, and you’re still not satisfied? What else do you want to sign?”
He still wanted to hold back. If He Yufeng got better in the future, or if Su Li could earn money, they could still ask them give them money for their retirement.
However, he did not expect Su Li to be as smart as a monkey!
Su Li smiled sarcastically and said, “Can I not sign another document with people like you? What if you have some illness one day and look for me again?” Old He was speechless.
This was what they had in mind. As long as there was no document, the third branch would not be able to escape the obligation to support them.
“We can return the document to you, but we won’t sign another one.” Old He said.
Su Li said, “Oh? You don’t have to sign it. I won’t give you the money either.
Think about it carefully!”
“I’ll give you fifteen minutes. Give me an answer as soon as possible. If I don’t get the answer I want in fifteen minutes, these ten taels of silver will immediately be invalid.”
Seeing that Su Li’s attitude was firm and did not look like she was joking, He Fengnian could not help but feel a little anxious.
Although ten taels of silver was not much, it was better than nothing!
Moreover, now that He Yufeng had become like that, it was unrealistic to expect him to earn money back in the future.
There was even less hope for a woman like Su Li. Now, these ten taels of silver were borrowed from her family. If she missed it today, it would be difficult to get them in the future.
After all, Su Ze would need money to get married in the future. After he had used these ten taels of silver, where would Su Li borrow it from?
He Fengnian was a little anxious, afraid that Su Li would go back on her word immediately. He said to Wang Chunhua, “Mother, in my opinion, let’s take these ten taels of silver first. Otherwise, when Su Ze gets married in the future, this sum of silver will probably be gone.”
Su Ze was still single now. This sum of money was originally saved for his marriage. If he suddenly got married and there was an outsider in the family, the Su family would probably not give Su Li ten copper coins, let alone ten taels.
Wang Chunhua thought about it and felt that He Fengnian was right. How could she let the duck fly away?
Hence, Wang Chunhua pulled Old He to the side. Madam Zhao, Madam Qian, and the others followed. The few of them muttered and started discussing again.
Wang Chunhua glanced at everyone and said, “What do you guys think?” He Fengnian and his brothers said, “Mother, we agree.”
They knew that life at home was not easy. If they missed this sum of money, they would probably not be able to get it in the future.
To them, this sum of money was like picked up from the streets. Who wouldn’t want free money?
Madam Zhao and the other two sisters-in-law also nodded. “Mother, the Su family is willing to borrow this sum of money now. If we don’t agree now, what if they don’t lend it in the future?”
Wang Chunhua glared at them. “Don’t I know what you’re talking about? Is there a need for you to pester me here? When did you have the right to speak in this family? Even if we get the money, it has nothing to do with you.”
Madam Zhao and her sisters-in-law shut their mouths. They cursed Wang Chunhua in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on their faces.
Everyone agreed, except Old He.
Wang Chunhua looked at him and said, “Damn old man, what do you mean? Say something. Don’t blame me for not letting you speak.”
Previously, Old He blamed Wang Chunhua for giving her maternal family money. After this incident, their relationship was not very good.
In the past, it was almost always Wang Chunhua who made the decisions in the family. After that incident and the money in the family was stolen again, Old He felt that it was all Wang Chunhua’s fault. If not for the fact that she did not hide the banknotes well, would they have been taken away by the thieves?
Wang Chunhua also felt Old He’s dissatisfaction with her and she was also angry. Thus, when she spoke to Old He, her tone was not good.
He Fengnian looked at Old He and said impatiently, “Father, say something!”
If the old couple fell sick in the future and their family did not give them money to treat their illness, they could not find trouble with them. After all, they had signed the document!
He Fengshou said, “Father, what are you hesitating for? Don’t tell me you still want to count on them in the future? Why don’t you take a look at what Third Brother has become? If you count on him, you’ll probably have to wait for your next life.
Old He was anxious when he heard that. He glared at him and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’ve never counted on him.” Why was he hesitating?
Could it be that he really wanted to count on the them?
Pfft, they couldn’t count on them in the past, but they definitely couldn’t count on them in the future. He Yufeng was already crippled and Su Li was an unfilial thing. Even if there was food, she definitely wouldn’t give them a bite.
Old He, who had thought it through, nodded and said, “Okay, ten taels it is.
Agree to her.”
Wang Chunhua and the others laughed when they heard Old He’s words. It was as if they could already see ten taels of silver entering their pockets.
Su Li was trimming her nails when she saw them walking over. She blew at the nail ash on her hand and said, “Why? Your entire family has finished discussing so quickly? There’s still a little more time to go. You can go back and blabber a little more..”
