Yun Tao listened to the gossip told by her two brothers in her heart and enjoyed it very much.

Yun Tao: "Big brother, second brother, you said Wang Dali is very rich now, and has some spare money to spend on brothels. But I heard that the Wang family is now tightening their belts, and the family is in turmoil every day."

Yun Da: "I don't know about that. How poor can his family be? How could they have so much land? They could live for a long time just by selling a piece of land. Besides, as long as they have land, their life can't be that bad."

Yun Er: "Brother, that's what you said, but the fields still need people to plant them. If you don't plant them, the crops will grow for nothing. They are a family of lazy people, and there are few capable people among them. Birds of a feather flock together, and they are all the same kind of people, how good can they be."

Yun Tao: "Okay, big brother, second brother, you two should stop arguing about this rotten family. We just need to live our own lives and have money to spend."

Xiao Lan: "Brother Dali, you've been coming less and less recently. Do you have another lover outside? You don't even come to see me. I'm so anxious to see you."

Wang Dali looked at Xiao Lan with a lecherous look in his eyes. "Xiao Lan, that's not the case. I'm a little short on money lately. I'm embarrassed to come to see you without any money. I've had bad luck recently. I lose as soon as I enter a gambling house. I haven't dared to go in for a long time. I don't have any money on me. It's very miserable."

Wang Dali looked at Xiao Lan, who was wearing gorgeous clothes and a red hairpin on her head. The style was very novel and the workmanship was exquisite.

Wang Dali said to Xiao Lan in a flattering way: "Xiao Lan, how about you lend me some money first so that I can make a comeback? If I succeed, I will give you twice the money. I, Wang Dali, keep my word."

When Xiao Lan heard Wang Dali asked to borrow money, her face changed and she said quickly, "Brother Dali, I am just a prostitute. The money you usually give me never reaches me. Even our food and lodging have to be paid for by money, which is deducted from the money we receive from the customers. Do you think we have money? Even if we want to find someone to marry, we need customers with money to redeem us."

"Brother Dali, I am also a miserable person. The money you earn is still in your hands. We can't do anything about it. You gave me some money before, but I used it to buy medicine and occasionally for treatment."

After Xiao Lan finished speaking, she shed some fake tears, which made Wang Dali feel very distressed.

Wang Dali: "Okay, Xiaolan, stop crying. I feel sorry for you. How could I bear to take the money you paid for selling your body? I was just talking."

Xiao Lan leaned in Wang Dali's arms and said, "Brother Dali, I am a miserable person. I was hoping someone could save me from the crisis. Unfortunately, Xiao Lan is a person with a miserable fate and I don't have that blessing. I am poor now and don't have any money. I have to live by the mood of the customers. It's very miserable."

Wang Dali looked at Xiao Lan crying and felt so distressed. "Don't worry, Xiao Lan, I will go and earn some money. I will go find that tigress in my family. She must have some money. My old man also has several hundred taels of silver on him. It's just that he can't use it. You wait for me in Manchunlou. I will go and find some money."

After Wang Dali finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he came back immediately after a short while.

He said to Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, you still need to lend me some silver. I only have a few copper coins on me right now. Can you lend me one or two taels of silver? You should have one or two taels of silver, right? This little money is just a drop in the bucket for you."

Xiao Lan was about to refuse and didn't want to lend a single penny.

Before Xiao Lan could speak, Wang Dali continued, "Xiao Lan, we have been together for so long, you must know how I feel about you. Besides, I said I want to marry you, and I will definitely marry you. I will use the money you lent me to buy some things so that I can please our tigress and give me the money. This way, I can get a better result."

"You see, you don't have extra money here, so I have to find a way somewhere else."

Xiao Lan reluctantly lent Wang Dali one tael of silver, mainly because Wang Dali had spent no less than a hundred taels of silver on her. If he said he didn't have one tael of silver, it would be unreasonable not to lend it.

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Brother Dali, don't worry. I don't have a large amount of silver, but I still have one or two taels."

After Xiao Lan finished speaking, she went to get one or two taels of silver, and also gave Wang Dali one of her silver hairpins of the worst quality.

"Brother Dali, this is my silver hairpin. If you don't have any money, you can take it to the pawn shop to exchange for some silver. By the way, you can also give it to your wife to please her. I don't want you to be embarrassed. If you always talk about money, you will be scolded when you go back."

Wang Dali was deeply moved. "Xiao Lan, don't worry, I will never let you down."

This time, Wang Dali really left after he finished speaking.

Xiao Lan looked at his back and cursed.

Wang Dali bought some good wine and food in the town and came back home. When Liu Xiaomei saw Wang Dali carrying these good things back, her mood instantly improved.

"Da Li, have you made a fortune? How could you afford to buy all these good things today? It must cost a lot of money."

Wang Dali took Xiaomei's hand and said, "Xiaomei, your husband and I have made some money. Let's have a good drink today."

"Xiaomei, I haven't given you anything nice in all these years since we got married. Don't despise this silver hairpin, it's not made of gold. When I have more money in the future, I will buy you a gold hairpin."

Liu Xiaomei looked at the silver hairpin that Dali gave her, and her heart was filled with emotion. This was the first time that Dali gave her a gift after all these years of marriage. Although this silver hairpin was not new, it was about 80% new. Moreover, the style was good and the workmanship was OK. Liu Xiaomei was very satisfied and very happy.

Liu Xiaomei looked at Wang Dali with emotion: "Dali, you are so thoughtful. Today is the happiest day of my life."

Wang Dali saw that the time was ripe, and said to Liu Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position. It's all my fault that I don't know how to make money. If only I could make money, I would definitely let you live in a big house and have good food and drink."

"Xiao Mei, here are 700 copper coins I earned. I have been learning how to do business from a foreign businessman recently. Unfortunately, I have very little capital and didn't make much, just a few hundred copper coins. If I had more silver, I would have made more."

"Xiao Mei, you still have some silver. Can you give me a few dozen taels? After a while, this silver can be turned into hundreds or even thousands of taels."

Liu Xiaomei was originally immersed in happiness, but when she heard what Wang Dali said, her sense of happiness dropped sharply.
