After all, for ordinary households whose ancestors were farmers, five taels of silver was a large amount of money. Who would lend it out easily
If you don’t have much money saved at home, can you pay it back after borrowing it
Hearing this, the tears in Ye Lanlan's eyes couldn't stop flowing down.
She was also a stubborn person. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears that fell, and said slowly: "My husband-in-law is addicted to gambling and is in debt for several taels of silver. Now if he doesn't pay it back, the interest will be compounded, making it even harder to pay it back. "
Hearing what she said, Liu Duo and Ye Ling frowned. Neither of them had any good impressions of people who gamble!
"People from the gambling shop came to my house yesterday and said they would use someone else to pay off the debt if they didn't pay it back as soon as possible..."
Speaking of this, Ye Lanlan's voice was obviously trembling
Liu Duo and Ye Ling looked at each other, tacitly doubting what she said.
After all, she has a big belly, how dare the people in the gambling house touch her
Ye Lanlan seemed to know that they would not believe it, and continued: "The people in the gambling shop said that when the child in my belly is born and I haven't paid off the debt, they will drag me to a brothel to sell myself to pay off the debt! Until the debt is paid off."
"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, I don't want to be separated from my child by then, and I don't want to go to a place like a brothel. Please save me, okay?"
If this debt with compounding interest cannot be paid off in one go, she might not be able to get out of the brothel for the rest of her life!
Seeing that Ye Lanlan didn't look like she was lying, Liu Duo was quite angry about this matter
"Do you agree?" Liu Duo asked slightly angrily.
Even if you don’t have the money to pay off the debt right away, you can’t take people to that kind of place, right
Besides, Ye Lanlan didn't owe the money, so why should she take on this responsibility
"Yes." Ye Lanlan nodded and burst into tears.
She also didn't expect that her husband would nod in agreement without any hesitation
It really breaks my heart!
When Ye Lanlan nodded, Liu Duo had no good impression of her husband, whom he had never met, but it had nothing to do with him and he didn't make any comments.
"Although we are moved by what you said, we still won't lend you the money."
After Liu Duo and Ye Ling looked at each other, they frowned slightly and said slowly: "Let's not talk about our relationship with you. As for these five taels of silver, when will I return it after I borrow it from you?"
"Your husband's family doesn't have much other income. Is it guaranteed to be repayable after I lend it to you? You have to know that money doesn't just come from nothing!"
Even if Liu Duo was not familiar with the family background of Yelan Lanfu's family, her ancestors all relied on farming, so how could she easily repay the five taels of silver
Ye Ling also said at this time: "You'd better go borrow it elsewhere. Our family doesn't have any spare money to lend it to you! I have a lot of money for medicine every month, rice paper for Ran'er, and money for pens and ink. I will pay it back after our babies are born." I have to raise a baby, and I have no spare money to lend to you."
Although he was moved, he was just an ordinary man, not a Bodhisattva. If everyone came to the house to complain and borrow money, would they all borrow money
Let's not talk about the food aspect of their family's life. The pills Ye Ling takes every month are dozens of times more expensive than before. The rice paper and pen and ink that Liu Ran uses every month also cost a lot to buy.
After spending such a large amount of money, Ye Ling always felt that there should be no spare money at home
Of course, this is just his opinion!
Only Ye Liu, Ye Mo, and Liu Duo knew the specific financial situation of their family. Ye Yang and Ye Ling had never asked about it, let alone Liu Ran.
