BXBX NOVEL Chapter 329: 329 Can’t go back to the past with Chuan
Su Qingyue didn’t speak, Xiao Yuchuan’s facial expression wasn’t good, “Fuquan, we’ve had a good relationship since we were little, and you’ve seen the situation in my family. I’m not blaming you. How could I not know the difficulties in your family? Don’t tell me your family can’t survive. You know very well whether your family can make it or not. To pay off debt is justified, and nobody can say it’s wrong. However…”
His tone changed, somewhat annoyed, “Didn’t you see that my second brother and I have both fallen now, and it’s all on my wife to support the whole family. Can’t you wait until I get better, or my second brother gets better, to ask us for debt? You know full well that we have no money right now, so why push my wife so hard? If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t ask for this kind of leniency either, but what about us? Aren’t our many years of brotherhood worth even one and a half taels?”
“I’m sorry…” Zhou Fuquan’s face was full of guilt, “It’s my fault for not disciplining my wife well. ”
“Don’t just push everything on a woman.”
“I really told her, and I told my mom too. Women just have long hair and short sight…”
Xiao Yuchuan was very disappointed, “Scholars say that if you receive a little help from others, you should repay it. Aren’t you supposed to repay it well? If you don’t appreciate our brotherhood, remember that my second brother saved your life when you were nearly drowned in the river. Isn’t your life worth at least one and a half taels?”
“I…” Zhou Fuquan’s guilt deepened, “I’ve always remembered the kindness of second Brother Xiao. I didn’t know my mom and wife would act like this. As soon as I knew, I scolded them both and rushed to your house to apologize…”
He took out half a tael of broken silver from his pocket, “I borrowed this secretly from outside. You can use it first…”
“No need,” Su Qingyue declined, “The Xiao Family can get by without your help. Besides, since we haven’t fully paid off our debt to your family, you’re now going behind their backs to borrow money. If your family finds out, you won’t be let off easily.”
“It was my mom and wife who were too much to start with…”
Xiao Yishan’s face was cold as he said, “Take it back. The Xiao Family will not borrow your money again.”
“Second Brother Xiao…” Zhou Fuquan always respected his savior.
“I don’t blame you,” Xiao Yishan’s voice was distant and polite, “Every family has its own difficulties. It’s normal for your wife and mother to worry about the money they’ve lent to the Xiao Family not being repaid. Rest assured that as soon as I am well, I will pay you back as soon as possible. If I don’t recover, even if the Xiao Family has to sell our house, we’ll repay the silver.”
“That’s not necessary, Second Brother Xiao,” Zhou Fuquan hurriedly waved his hand, “I really didn’t mean it like that… I didn’t want this kind of thing to
happen…”
“It’s already happened because you didn’t keep your wife and mother’s mouths in check,” Xiao Yuchuan snorted coldly, “You’d better leave before I get angry.”
“Yuchuan…”
“Other people pressing my wife for debt is one thing, but your family doing the same after just a few days? Get lost!”
“Don’t dawdle. You’re annoying to look at.”
Su Qingyue also spoke coldly, “Brother Zhou, you’d better leave. You don’t need to worry about the Xiao Family’s affairs. My second brother and third brother are both sick, and you shouldn’t affect their mood. As for today’s events, it’s understandable because people are selfish. I don’t blame Cuihua.”
“Alright…alright then.” Zhou Fuquan still wanted to give Su Qingyue the half tael of silver, but seeing her heading to the kitchen and looking at Second Brother Xiao and Yuchuan, he sighed and left the Xiao Family’s courtyard in a gloomy mood..
