A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

"No, no, no, I didn't hide any money. If I did, wouldn't I have used it to book a room for your grandma?"

Ren Meiluo was of course not afraid that Wen Meijiu would not believe her, but was afraid that the old lady would not believe her, so she quickly added:

"Mom, if I had money, I wouldn't be so poor now, right?"

She didn't dare to lie to her, what a useless thing. The old lady gave her a fierce look and didn't want to pay attention to her. She was still angry with her just now.

“I didn’t hide the money, your best sister didn’t lend you money, and you finally met a kind-hearted doctor Li who lent you money, but you didn’t lend it to me, so what are you going to use to book a room for grandma?

Auntie, you don’t want to take care of grandma anymore, do you?

My family bought a horse carriage for my grandmother, but it has already been used up, and we will have to borrow money to live in the future."

The old lady didn't know whether Wen Meijiu really had no money, but now everyone was watching and it was obvious that Wen Meijiu was in the right. She had been waiting in the lobby for so long but to no avail, and she couldn't wait any longer.

No matter who it is, this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Thinking about it this way, Wen Meijiu is right. No one is poor these days. Those who can lend you money are already good people. What else do you expect?

The old lady didn't want to wait any longer, so she took advantage of the situation and used the warm wine as an excuse to hit Ren Meiluo.

"Never mind me, is this your idea or Dalang's?"

The older you are, the wiser you are. Her question scared Ren Meiluo so much that he almost fell to his knees.

She is a bossy person at home, but no matter how bossy she is, she dare not bear the stigma of being unfilial.

Besides, she knew the old lady’s methods of torturing people, and she didn’t dare to offend her.

"Mom, Dalang and I don't have this idea. We are too late to be filial to you."

That's all. This is what the old lady wanted. She took over the conversation and said:

"Okay, it's not difficult for me to trust you, just find me a place to sleep now.

I'll be waiting for you in the lobby. Come find me when you're done."

The old lady spoke with a firm voice. After she finished speaking, she turned around and went inside, leaving Ren Melo and a group of onlookers looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Auntie, take care of yourself. I'm leaving now."

The old lady has already spoken. The task fell on Ren Meiluo's head and had nothing to do with Wen Meijiu anymore. Wen Meijiu slipped away.

"My dear, you can't leave. You can't leave. I have something to ask of you."

Seeing Ren Meiluo crying and chasing after Wen Meijiu, the onlookers burst into laughter, laughing at how shameless she was.

At this moment, Ren Meiluo didn't care whether others laughed at her or not. If she couldn't lend the money today and the old lady sitting in the lobby was embarrassed, the old lady would kill her.

Ren Meiluo didn't know Dr. Li, and he didn't know her either. It was just that Wen Meijiu said he could lend her money, but it was still unknown whether he would actually lend her the money.

Fortunately, Doctor Li has always been with Wen Meijiu Restaurant, and they have some friendship. This matter still depends on Wen Meijiu's consideration.

"You don't have to beg my aunt, I don't have any money."

Wen Meijiu reached down and pulled down Ren Meiluo's hand that was holding his arm, as if he was afraid of being infected with the plague.

"No, I was wrong. I trusted Liu Kerong wrongly. I will never dare to do that again."

"Still thinking about the future?"

Wen Meijiu deliberately pretended that he didn't want to reconcile with Ren Meiluo, and he completely lost his previous courtesy.

"No, no, no, there is no future, no future."

Ren Meiluo shook her hands as fast as a windmill, fearing that she had offended Wen Meijiu at this time and that Wen Meijiu would no longer help her.

"Okay, we are all family. As long as you don't cause trouble for our family in the future, I am still willing to help you."

Wen Meijiu decided to quit while he was ahead and took Ren Meiluo to find Lao Li.

When passing by my father and mother, I nodded quickly and said something flattering:

"Sister-in-law, Erlang seems to be doing much better recently!"

Wen Meijiu blinked at Lao Li. They were less than ten feet away from each other. Lao Li was not deaf and had already figured out the whole story.

Knowing the purpose of Wen Meijiu bringing Ren Meiluo here, Lao Li also put on the attitude of a rich man who lends money at usury.

"Good wine, talk to Doctor Li about it."

Ren Meiluo pushed the warm wine forward.

"Old Li, my aunt wants to borrow five taels of silver. Please give me a lower interest rate."

Wen Meijiu gave Lao Li a playful smile, as if he was pleading for Ren Meiluo.

Without raising his eyes, Lao Li reached out to adjust the hem of his cloak and asked:

"How long do you plan to pay it back?"

Ren Meiluo wanted to borrow money, but he didn't want to pay interest.

However, now that things have come to this, even if she wants to, who would be willing to lend her the money without paying interest?

"Doctor Li, if you charge less interest, I will lend you more money and for a longer period of time. If you charge too much interest, I will lend you less money and for a shorter period of time."

Ren Meiluo is not stupid, so of course he has to bargain with Lao Li.

Lao Li didn't indulge her and said directly:

"If it's less than five taels and the term is less than one year, I won't lend it to you."

"You, how can you be like this? Aren't you robbing me?"

Ren Meiluo wanted to get angry, but then he remembered that he was asking for help, so he suppressed his anger for the second half of the sentence.

"If you don't want to lend it, you can go find someone else, Miss Wen's relatives. If it's someone else, I definitely won't lend it. The risk is too great."

Old Li was not angry, but continued to talk, saying that he also had his own difficulties.

After he said this, Ren Meiluo was even more worried that Lao Li would not lend the money, so he quickly said:

"Then borrow five taels for a year."

"How much is the interest?" This is what Ren Meiluo cares about most.

"I'm not a professional usurer. I'll lend you five taels of silver. I'll charge you two taels of silver per year in interest. You can return me seven taels of silver after one year."

There is a natural disaster now. Not to mention that no one would lend them money, even if someone did, no one would be willing to lend them the money because the interest would be huge after a year. What Mr. Li wants is really not high.

Ren Meiluo was unwilling and stood on the ground, twisting and turning, muttering:

"Look, you're eating and drinking with my family, but you're still asking for such a high interest rate. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Lao Li was not in a hurry and asked:

"How much do you want?"

Ren Meiluo looked at Lao Li and felt that Lao Li was not angry and was really asking for her opinion. She smiled and came up to him and said:

"We are all family from now on. My Dazhu is also helping out with the wine. Why do you have to charge interest? Just lend it to us for free."

Old Li has seen shameless people, but he has never seen someone as shameless as this. No wonder Wen Meijiu was unwilling to lend her the money. He was afraid that if he lent her the money, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog and the money would never come back!

"You can borrow it if you want. Five taels of silver. You have to pay back seven taels of silver in one year."

Old Li's face darkened and he showed no mercy to Ren Meiluo.

"Fine wine, look at him, what's his attitude?"

Ren Meiluo turned to Wen Meijiu for help, but was met with a look of surprise from Wen Meijiu. She looked at Ren Meiluo as if she had seen a monster.

"Auntie, my family is also borrowing five taels of silver, and it will be seven taels in a year.

If it were in the past, this would be unthinkable. When Mr. Wang lent my family five taels of silver, it was doubled in just a few months. "
