Wen Qingcheng ran through several streets in the county town before buying gold foil paper. She also bought some candied fruits and put them in the space, then rode home.

As soon as Song Jiao left, Wen Qingcheng arrived. When Ye Xiuying heard the door open, she thought Song Jiao had returned and shouted in the yard, "Did you forget something?"

"What did you forget?" Wen Qingcheng came in with a horse and asked.

"Oh, it's my eldest daughter who's back. I thought your Aunt Song Jiao was here again."

"My Aunt Song Jiao is here?" Wen Qingcheng tied up the horse and walked over from the backyard.

Ye Xiuying told her daughter everything. Although this was a stupid thing she did, she had to let her daughter know. So she told Wen Qingcheng everything about borrowing money.

"What? She lent it to Wen Lao San! She doesn't know who those couple are. Aunt Song Jiao is usually a smart person, how could she be so confused?" Wen Qingcheng was very angry. Wen Lao San and the others were too cunning. She couldn't just take advantage of their family, so she had to drag Aunt Song Jiao into it.

"You can't blame your Aunt Song Jiao for this. Don't you know who those people are in the old house? Your Aunt Song Jiao never refuses to help anyone in the family who needs help, not to mention that the Third Family used a trick of inflicting pain on themselves."

"That's too abominable. You said we can't just ask Third Wen for the money. If we ask him, he will definitely say that it was not borrowed by him. Then he will ask us to ask Aunt Song Jiao for it, just like kicking a ball..." Wen Qingcheng suddenly felt very suffocated. Even if the money was thrown down the drain, she could still see the splash. It was really aggrieved to give it to that ungrateful family.

"That's why it's difficult. We can't ask your Aunt Song Jiao for the money. She also lent out three taels of silver. Your Uncle Wen Zhuo hasn't made much money recently. When your Third Uncle was the head of the village, he often gave money to poor families. He didn't save much money at all. The family tightened their belts to make ends meet and find a wife for Tingyu in the future."

The more Wen Qingcheng thought about it, the angrier she got. This damned Wen Lao San was blind to other people's difficulties and took advantage of their kindness. "We can't let the people at the old house get away with it."

"Your Aunt Song Jiao said that she and your Uncle Zhuo will go to him tonight to ask for money. Yufeng opened a workshop, and it is said that Third Wen has also invested in her. Your Aunt Song Jiao only wants to help in emergencies, not to help the poor. If the emergency is resolved, the money should be paid back immediately."

Wen Qingcheng recalled meeting Wen Yufeng today and said with a smile, "I met Wen Yufeng today too. She was with a handsome young man. Maybe she found a sponsor."

Ye Xiuying was surprised, then smiled knowingly: "No wonder she suddenly opened a workshop."

"Mom, we will go with Aunt Song Jiao tonight to collect the debt, but it will be difficult to get it back from them. I'm not heartbroken about the seven taels of silver, but I don't want to make Third Uncle's family feel bad, and I don't want the people in the old house to take advantage of them for nothing."

Wen Qingcheng knew her third uncle's family. If Wen Lao San didn't pay back the money, her third uncle's family would pay Ye Xiuying back out of their own pocket, which would mean that her third uncle's family would lose ten taels of silver at once.

......

Wen Yufeng and Mr. Qiu bought some gifts and took a carriage from the county town to Yueya Village. Mr. Qiu agreed to let her come to his house to meet his parents, so she was very happy and affectionately took Mr. Qiu's hand and got off the carriage.

When they first saw Master Qiu, the whole family was stunned. He was 185cm tall, dressed in gorgeous clothes, had an elegant demeanor, and was waving a folding fan in his hand. At first glance, he looked like a young man from a wealthy family.

Third Wen was the first to react, and hurriedly came forward with a smile: "Yufeng, I guess this must be Mr. Qiu."

The whole family finally reacted and stood up to greet him. Mr. Qiu's splendor formed a sharp contrast with their simple courtyard. Boss Wen originally wanted to act like his old father-in-law, but when he saw the real person, he suddenly became restrained, with a flattering smile on his face.

Old Mrs. Wen wanted to speak, but she was afraid that her words would be vulgar and make people laugh at her, so she could only sit there and laugh dryly.

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Qiu." Wen Yufeng introduced Mr. Qiu and then began to introduce her family members one by one. Mr. Qiu politely greeted everyone, his movements were indescribably elegant and beautiful.

The family was not dissatisfied with him and treated him as a distinguished guest. Zhang Sufen and Zhao Chunhua were even busier than during the Chinese New Year, preparing a table full of dishes.

"Mr. Qiu, you are a wealthy family. The food in our country is simple and crude. Don't be disgusted by it." The more Zhang Sufen looked at Mr. Qiu, the more she liked him. She said with a smile.

"How could that be? Thank you two aunts for your hard work in preparing this feast. It is so sumptuous and I love it all." Mr. Qiu had a typical smile on his face. He glanced at Wen Yufeng ambiguously from time to time, and reached under the table to grab Wen Yufeng's hand and put it on his leg to rub it.

Wen Yufeng blushed, but she remained calm on the surface. The people sitting there were all her elders, and she was flirting with her lover, which made her feel very excited and like she was "stealing".

"Eat more if you like it." Old lady Wen said as she picked up a piece of meat and put it in Mr. Qiu's bowl. Wen Yufeng was quick to pass her bowl to him, "Thank you, grandma, hehe." Then she gave Old lady Wen a look and Zhang Sufen kicked her under the table.

Old Lady Wen pursed her lips and put away her chopsticks in dismay. Zhao Chunhua looked at Wen Yufeng and the others for a long time, and said, "It's really pleasing to the eyes to see these two sitting together. They are such a perfect match. Our Yufeng has been a beauty since she was a child. With this head, this figure, and this appearance, I knew she would find a good husband in the future. It's really fate that they met Master Qiu."

"Your third aunt is right, it's all fate. Yufeng, you have to treat Mr. Qiu well. He is your benefactor. Without him, could you open a workshop?" Boss Wen continued.

"Dad, of course I will treat him well." Wen Yufeng smiled shyly, her face flushed, and she felt embarrassed, so she said in a soft voice: "Oh, I haven't said I want to marry him yet, don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, everyone stop talking. Our Yufeng is shy." Wen Lao San laughed.

The family was having a happy meal when they suddenly heard voices outside the courtyard gate. "Third brother - Third sister-in-law -" Song Jiao called out twice outside the door.

Wen Lao San knew very well what Song Jiao could possibly want from coming to see him. Now that distinguished guests were having dinner here, he couldn't let her interfere.

Zhao Chunhua almost spit out her rice when she heard the shout, and the couple hurriedly got up and left the table. Wen Lao San smiled and said, "Maybe it's a neighbor who came to borrow tools. I'll go out and take a look."

Wen Lao San held Zhao Chunhua down and sat there, while he ran out to see. When he got to the door, he saw that not only Song Jiao, but also Wen Zhuo was there, as well as the unlucky Wen Qingcheng and her daughter.
