Chapter 978: Very Little Financial Burden
Ye Lanlan looked up at him, her face full of tears. She could not believe it. Did her ears deceive her?
“F-For real, Brother Ling?”
“Yes. Do get up.” Ye Ling confirmed it by nodding his head.
Upon receiving a definite answer, Ye Lanlan stood up with difficulty. “Thank you, Brother Ling, Liu Duo.”
“We agree to lend you money, but it’s not as simple as that. We’ll have to go to the village chief and document the evidence!” Ye Ling would not be fooled into lending her money just like that.
Then he looked at Liu Duo, seeking assurance. Is this alright?
With the village chief as a witness, they would not have to worry that Ye Lanlan might try to get away with it.
Liu Duo nodded with a smile. Her youngest husband, the most innocent one, was not stupid after all.
“That’s fine, whatever you say.” Ye Lanlan would not say no to that.
Getting the money to pay off the debt was her priority!
After that, the three of them left the yard and headed to the chief’s house.
By the time Ye Liu got back from town, Liu Ran was the only one at home.
“Ran Er, I’ve bought some nice things for you.” Ye Liu smiled proudly once he stepped foot in his home.
When he heard his second brother-in-law’s unique voice, Liu Ran quickly went to welcome him.
“Brother Liu, what did you buy for me?”
“Your favorite snacks, of course! Here are the writing paper and books you need.”
“Thanks, Brother Liu.” Liu Ran smiled gleefully. He would always bring some snacks with him to school, which his brothers-in-law prepared just for him.
“Where are your sister and Ling? I don’t see them,” Ye Liu said.
The smile on Liu Ran’s face diminished. Then, he gave Liu a brief summary. “Someone named Ye Lanlan came to borrow money. Sis and Brother Ling refused to lend it to her at first, but she kept crying and crying and would not get up, so they agreed to lend her some. They should be at the chief’s house by now.”
Ye Liu furrowed his fine brows. This was unexpected progress, because he did not imagine Liu Duo would agree to lend money to her.
After all, he knew his wife’s personality very well!
“Ran Er, don’t tell your Brother Mo about this, or he’ll ‘go crazy,’” Ye Liu instructed him.
If Ye Mo got wind of this, that booming voice of his would deafen everyone else under the roof.
“Alright, I get it.” Liu Ran nodded obediently.
By noon, the villagers who were working in the fields gradually returned home for lunch.
After Liu Duo and Ye Ling finished their business at the chief’s place, they walked home hand in hand.
“Duo Er, do you think she’ll return the money?” Ye Ling might have been carrying the receipt, but he was not quite assured about it.
That was five taels of silver they just lent her!
“Either way, the receipt is with us. If she dares come to borrow money again, we just show her this and ask for payback!” Liu Duo cared little about it.
The income they got from the sales of the dolls kept coming, so even if they stopped selling tomato sauce, they had a very little financial burden.
“That’s true.” Ye Ling nodded as well. “The timely return of a loan makes it easier to borrow a second time.”
When they got home, lunch was already served, and everyone else was waiting for the two of them.
“Dear, Ling, where have you been?” Ye Mo asked them.
