The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

In recent days, one of the two girls from the Wen family wanted to open a medicine factory and the other wanted to open a workshop. Everyone in Yueya Village knew about it and was curious about the Wen family. Even when Wen Zhuo and Song Jiao went out, there would be people coming to ask about them.

As usual, Song Jiaoru carried the family's dirty clothes to the riverbank. As soon as she found a place to sit down, a woman from the same village came over to chat with her.

"Hey? Xiao Song, come out and do the laundry."

"Yes, sister-in-law. You wash so many." Song Jiao put down the wooden basin and started chatting with Zhang's sister-in-law.

"I can't help it. There are so many people in my family. By the way, I saw your third son Wen bought a lot of things yesterday. Has he become rich recently?"

Song Jiao stopped what she was doing and smiled, "We are not in the same courtyard, how would I know? Maybe it's a birthday for a kid at home."

Song Jiao was washing clothes by the river with a heavy heart. If Wen Lao San had money, he should return it to her as soon as possible. Why did the whole family act like silence and no one mentioned this matter?

After washing the clothes, Song Jiao hurried back with the wash basin, just in time for him to run into Wen Lao San, "Where are you going, Third Brother?"

When Wen Lao San saw Song Jiao, he was very affectionate and greeted her from a distance, "Mrs. Ting Yu, are you going to wash clothes?"

Song Jiao didn't beat around the bush. She looked around to make sure there were no outsiders around, and asked in a low voice, "A few days ago, my third sister-in-law came to my house and asked me to borrow ten taels of silver for your emergency. I see that you are fine, so please give me the money as soon as possible. I'm still hiding this from my father and Azhuo."

When Wen Lao San heard her mention the money, he immediately put away his smile and said, "Mrs. Ting Yu, it's not that I don't want to pay it back, but the money has been given to the creditor. How can I pay it back?"

"You all have to live together. If you can't make ends meet, you can pool your money together. How can a bank not have savings? I borrowed it for you. You can give me seven taels first, and I will return the money to my second sister-in-law. They are renovating their house and they need money right now."

Wen Lao San said disapprovingly: "Second sister-in-law's family doesn't need that little money. My second brother must have left her a lot of money. And Chuyi, I heard that his family is very rich. How could he not leave some for Wen Qingcheng before leaving?"

Song Jiao was a little angry. Even if she didn't have the money to pay it back, she should at least have an attitude. What's more, he was obviously rich. People saw him buying a lot of delicious food and taking it home.

"Third brother, we can't say that. Even if Second Sister-in-law's family has money, they have to pay it back if they lend it to you out of kindness, not to mention that I'm the one who helped you borrow it."

Seeing that Song Jiao was angry, Third Wen thought it was not a good idea to break up with her, so he thought he could just deny it and coaxed her with kind words, "I didn't say I wouldn't return it, Ting Yu Niang, you don't have to worry about it, I will return it to Second Sister-in-law when the time comes. The main reason is that Yufeng is going to open a Phoenix Jade Cream workshop recently, and the family is in need of money, so I will definitely send it to her as soon as I have the money."

"What? Yufeng is going to open a workshop?" Song Jiao was a little surprised. Normally, she didn't like to hang out with the women in the village, so she just found out about this. No wonder some people asked her about Qingcheng and Yufeng recently.

"Yes, our eldest niece is very capable. She has already started to renovate the west room and is going to use it as a workshop. When she becomes big enough, she will definitely remember to honor you."

"As the elders, we are definitely hoping that she will become successful. I don't expect her to be filial to me, but you have to pay back the money to your second sister-in-law first."

"Don't worry, it's only seven taels of silver. Can I refuse to pay it back? When I have the money, I will pay you back the other three taels as soon as possible."

Song Jiao had no choice but to give up after hearing that. She thought it would be better to tell Ye Xiuying. She had promised Zhao Chunhua not to tell the truth at that time. Now that Wen Lao San said he would return it directly to Ye Xiuying, she had to inform her first.

After returning home and hanging up the clothes, she went to Wen Qingcheng's house. "Second sister-in-law, Qingcheng, are you home?" Song Jiao called twice outside the door.

Ye Xiuying immediately replied, "Yes, yes, come in." Then she came out holding Wen Yuxue to greet her.

"Second sister-in-law, I hope I didn't disturb you and Xue'er's rest."

"No, Xue'er just had a meal. She needs to digest it before she goes to sleep." Ye Xiuying invited her into the house and gave Song Jiao a seat.

"Where's Qingcheng?"

"She went to the county and asked the blacksmith shop if they could make a large glue boiling pot."

"I heard from the third brother that Yufeng also opened a workshop." Song Jiao said.

Ye Xiuying had a calm expression. In fact, for her, the Wen family's old house had nothing to do with her. Whether they lived well or not had nothing to do with her. "Oh, it's fine."

Seeing her indifferent response, Song Jiao knew that she didn't care about the things in the old house. However, what she was going to say next had to mention the people in the old house.

"Second sister-in-law, I won't hide it from you. Didn't I lend you seven taels of silver last time? Actually, I borrowed it for Old Third Wen." Song Jiao said it a little embarrassedly. She thought Ye Xiuying would be very angry, but she just responded indifferently.

"Ah, after all, you and them haven't fallen out, you're all relatives. In fact, it doesn't matter who you lend the money to, I have no objection, I'm helping you."

Song Jiao was moved and said, "Second sister-in-law, at that time, the third sister-in-law asked me to borrow ten taels of silver for emergency. I didn't have much cash on hand, so I gave her three taels. She said that the third brother was chased by the creditor and wanted to take the third sister-in-law away. The situation was urgent at the time, so I agreed to help her borrow it."

Ye Xiuying frowned and said, "Don't tell me this is another self-torture trick. Third Wen is addicted to gambling and he often lied to the family to get their money. Don't tell me you were fooled by him."

Song Jiao was stunned when she heard this. She did not rule out this possibility! The villagers saw him buy a lot of delicious food and bring it back. He had money to invest in Wen Yufeng to open a workshop, but he did not pay back the borrowed money first. Or maybe he did not gamble Zhao Chunhua away at all, and everything was a trick used by the couple.

"Second sister-in-law, now that you put it like that, I think it's really possible. Zhao Chunhua cried like that at that time, and my heart softened and I agreed. Today I ran into the third brother and asked him for the money. He said he had invested it all in Yufeng, and he also said that he would give the money directly to you when he had the money."

Ye Xiuying knew that Song Jiao had always been good to the Wen family. She couldn't save face when the third Wen family asked her to borrow money, and she wouldn't sit idly by. However, she underestimated the evil of the Wen family. Not only her seven taels, but also Song Jiao's three taels of silver would be gone forever.

If Wen Zhuo were to ask for it, he could get it back, but he would also be in trouble. "I think the money is going to be lost." Ye Xiuying originally wanted to say that if she had known that it was the Third Wen family who wanted to borrow the money, she would not have lent it, but she was afraid that saying so would make Song Jiao feel guilty, so she gave up.

Song Jiao was now full of regrets. It was fine if she lost three taels of silver, but was she going to let her second sister-in-law lose seven taels of silver? No one's money was blown by the wind. She felt as if she had eaten a fly. What was going on? She helped Wen Lao San and thought she was doing a good deed, but she didn't expect it to make her so difficult in the end.

"No, I will go to his house with Azhu tonight to look for him. As the saying goes, help in times of emergency but not in times of poverty. If we wait for him to say he will pay us back when he has money, then how long will that be?"
