Chapter 326: 326 Wang Cuihua feels guilty
Translator: 549690339
With this situation, Wang Cuihua called the old woman “Grandma,” making it clear that the old woman was Zhou Fuquan’s mother.
Su Qingyue’s face became stiff as she looked at Wang Cuihua.
Yuchuan also told her that Fuquan and Cuihua borrowed one and a half taels of silver from the Xiao Family behind their parents’ backs for an emergency. The parents of the Zhou Family would definitely scold the couple.
When Yuchuan mentioned it, he felt guilty for implicating his brother.
She also knew the difficulties of Fuquan and his wife, so last time she met Cuihua, she deliberately mentioned that they would repay as soon as they had money.
However, Wang Cuihua clearly knew that her mother-in-law was in the yard with the child and would not agree to send 6 jin of garlic and radish.
Of course, Su Qingyue did not plan to take their things for free.
Cuihua called her over, probably guessing that her mother-in-law would press for the debt.
That is to say, Wang Cuihua herself did not want to directly press for the debt, and let her mother-in-law make the request. Perhaps Cuihua, after hearing the villagers talk, regretted lending the money, fearing that the one and a half taels they lent to the Xiao Family would be wasted.
Noticing that Wang Cuihua’s eyes flickered guiltily when she looked up at her, Qingyue knew she was right and suddenly felt a chill in her heart. “Cuihua, you really don’t have to do this. If you want to recover the debt, just tell me directly. There’s no need to trick me into coming here and let your mother-in-law speak.”
Wang Cuihua didn’t expect Qingyue to be so smart and see through her intentions so quickly, let alone say it out loud. For a moment, she didn’t know how to repond, I…”
Zhou Hu-shi was unhappy and interrupted her daughter-in-law, “Why bother saying so much to her? Does the debtor have the right? The money you lent without my and your father-in-law’s consent, if you can’t get it back, will you be responsible? Don’t think that Su Qingyue giving two fishes will make things better, I don’t care about her fish.”
Wang Cuihua did not say a word.
Su Qingyue was somewhat annoyed, “Giving you fish to eat is a kind gesture and has nothing to do with the debt.”
“Then you pay the money quickly.” Zhou Hu -shi was very worried that the silver would not be recovered.
Su Qingyue did not mention buying garlic and radishes anymore and took out a string of copper coins from her sleeve pocket. Counting out 100 of them, she placed them on a nearby stool, “Let me repay you 100 copper coins first. I will keep some for myself for other uses. However, rest assured, the Xiao Family will not deny this debt. As soon as we have money, we will repay you immediately.”
Having said that, she turned around and left.
“Qingyue…” Wang Cuihua wanted to chase after her, but Zhou Hu-shi scolded,
“Let her go, what are you shouting for!”
Wang Cuihua clenched her teeth, “But…”
Just as Su Qingyue left the Zhou Family’s yard, she ran into Zhou Fuquan carrying a large bundle of firewood on his shoulder. A hatchet in a wooden sheath hung from his waist and was attached to a rope on both sides.
“Sister-in-law, you’re here. Don’t you want to stay at home for a while?” Zhou Fuquan greeted her politely.
“No.” Su Qingyue said coldly and walked past him.
As Zhou Fuquan entered the yard and put down the firewood bundle, he saw the 100 copper coins on the stool and asked, “What’s going on? Where did these copper coins come from?”
“It’s from the Xiao Family…” Before Wang Cuihua could finish, Zhou Hu-shi interrupted, “Look at the mess you and Cuihua made. You lent out a tael and a half, and they only returned 100 copper coins…”
Su Qingyue went to Aunt Zhang’s family and agreed to buy 6 jin of radish and 6 jin of garlic. All were sold at two cents per jin, paying a total of 24 cents..
