Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

So she didn't refuse directly at this time, "Is the family already in such a difficult situation?"

Then, she turned to look at her aunt, "Aunt, last year, Uncle Lin's son was not able to get married, but you lent them money, didn't you? This year, the third brother and the third sister are about to reach a critical moment, and your eldest brother even gave you a grandson. Our family is in need of money right now, so Uncle Lin should understand and pay us back."

"What?" Uncle Su was a little confused when he heard it, but then he reacted and suddenly exploded like a lit firecracker. He asked angrily, "You gave your brother money again?"

Aunt Su quickly retorted: "I didn't, don't listen to this damn girl's nonsense, she just made it up because she didn't want to find a job for Dalang."

Su Yan was sad when she heard this: "Aunt, how can you say that? Last year, when Uncle Lin came to our house, I saw with my own eyes that you gave him a red cloth bag, saying that he should use it to marry his daughter-in-law first. I didn't know that you lent it out without Uncle's knowledge. If I had known, I would have told Uncle at that time. Why would you wait until now?"

Uncle Su was still holding out for luck, but when he heard Su Yan mention the red cloth bag, his heart skipped a beat and he was sure.

He didn't know the exact amount of money in his family, but it was real, wrapped in a small cloth bag made of leftover red cloth from making shoe uppers.

Uncle Su grabbed Aunt Su and asked, "Tell me, how much did you give?"

Aunt Su Nie Nie didn't dare to say a word.

Uncle Su and Aunt Su have been together for half their lives. When he saw her expression, he felt something was wrong. His heart started beating fast and all the blood in his body rushed to his head. Soon his cheeks turned red with anger.

He tried to suppress his anger, but failed in the end. He asked through gritted teeth, "How much? How much did you take?"

Aunt Su saw Uncle Su's face and knew that she could no longer hide the truth. She didn't dare to say anything else. She just whispered, "Fifteen taels," and then promised loudly, "My little brother said he would pay me back later, really!"

When Uncle Su heard the number, he was so angry that he lost his balance on the spot. He staggered two steps and almost fell down.

Fifteen taels

Fifteen taels was almost all the money their eldest family had saved over the years, so even if there was some left, there certainly wouldn't be much.

Even Su Yan was shocked. In the village, saving three or two taels of silver a year after deducting household expenses was considered a lot. If the year was bad, it would be even less.

Fifteen taels of silver would take the Su family at least five years of hard work to save, and in a bad year it would take seven or eight years.

For Uncle Su's family, it will only take longer.

Let me put it this way, these days it costs less than ten taels to get married, including the bride price, wedding banquet, gifts, etc., and that's only if the family is relatively sophisticated.

If one was not so particular, one would have to have some money left over after marrying two wives out of 15 taels of silver, which shows the value of silver at that time.

It is estimated that all the private money saved by the first wife was drained out in one go. If anything happens to the first wife in the future, not only will the public have to pay the lion's share, but the second wife will not be able to escape either.

Since brothers haven't separated yet, they can't get away from it.

Thinking of this, Su Yan became unhappy. She simply couldn't understand how Aunt Su, who was usually so smart, could do such a stupid thing. It was simply using her own family's bone marrow to pave the way for others.

Today is her return home day, and Aunt Su is looking for trouble in a weird way. She brought up this matter just to get Uncle Su to control her, teach Aunt Su a lesson, and make her behave herself for a while. She didn't expect that such a big thing would be uncovered.

He immediately said angrily: "Uncle Lin and we are real relatives. If one family is in trouble, it is normal for the other family to lend a hand, but it is not reasonable to give money without the consent of the family."

Aunt Su saw that Uncle Su's expression was getting angrier and angrier as Su Yan kept talking about money, so she rushed towards Su Yan like a madman and tried to hit her.

How could Su's mother be willing? She stretched out her hand to block it, and added fuel to the fire, "I said that the Lin family used to come to our house to borrow money three or five times, and they would never give up until they got the money. Why did they come once last year and then stop coming? It turns out that my eldest sister-in-law gave it to me secretly."

Uncle Su realized belatedly that something was wrong. He knew his brother-in-law too well. He had been a lazy man all his life, never working properly and was shameless. He would go to other people's homes to borrow money once, twice, three or five times, no matter how much it was, he had to borrow it.

He was lucky when it came once last year, thinking that he was getting old and his family was going to marry a daughter-in-law, so he finally wanted to have some dignity. However, he didn't expect that it wasn't that the other person had changed, but that there was a thief in his own house who had already given the money away.

Uncle Su became furious when he thought of this. He has two sons and two daughters, and they have always lived together with his younger brother. Doesn't he know that he is taking advantage of his younger brother?

Today, He An was asked to find a job for Da Lang in order to hurry Su Yan back home. Doesn't he feel it is embarrassing?

But what else could he do? The whole family only had a dozen acres of land. After working hard all year round, they could only save two or three taels of silver for food and clothing. If he didn't lose face, what would happen to his children?

As a result, he lost his face and took advantage of his own brother, while she even used her hard-earned money to fill that bottomless pit.

Thinking of this, Uncle Su slapped Aunt Su in the face. Not satisfied with the slap, he slapped her a few more times.

After being beaten, Aunt Su was about to throw a tantrum like she did before, but Uncle Su grabbed her clothes and dragged her to the east room.

Seeing Uncle Su's attitude, she didn't dare to cry or make a scene anymore. She struggled to run to Grandpa Su and Grandma Su, but when she looked up, her son and daughter were looking at her hatefully. Father and Mother Su ignored her, and Grandpa Su and Grandma Su didn't even look at her.

She was now afraid, crying and begging for mercy, "I was just blinded for a moment, thinking he would pay me back when he had money. He is my nephew, the only child in my family. How could I watch him remain single?"

Uncle Su yelled angrily, "My dear nephew, aren't those people in your family your own sons and daughters? Have you ever thought about them? How can you let Sanlang get married without money? Your nephew can't be a bachelor, but my son can, right?"

Aunt Su looked at him like this and could only explain guiltily: "I didn't think so much at the time. I really didn't want Sanlang to be single!"

Grandma Su was so angry that she hugged Sanlang and cried, "What a sin! What a sin! My Sanlang, what can you do?"

Su Xiaomei was so scared that she cried and dared not say a word. Su Dalang was squatting in the corner of the yard in grief and anger, holding his head with his hands and not saying a word.

Grandpa Su took two puffs of his pipe in silence and then spoke, "We all know who the Lin family kid is. If the money didn't go through the boss's hands before it reached his pocket, he will definitely deny it after a while. By then, the money will have been spent, and if we need witnesses, we can only have our own family members. Then, each of us will have our own reasons, and we won't be able to explain ourselves even if we take the case to the government office."

Grandpa Su is old and experienced, so he knows that this matter cannot be delayed and the sooner the money is obtained, the better.

Let Su Erlang go to the clan to call someone immediately and take them to the Lin family to ask for money.

The old man knew what the Lin family was like. If they went to ask for the money alone, they would not get a single cent back. Only if someone in the clan stepped in and made a big deal out of it would they be able to get some of the money back.

At this point, you can ask for as much as you can. Marrying a daughter-in-law like this will bring bad luck to the family!

Father Su knew the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't say anything at this time and went straight to the clan to gather people.
