Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers' Wife

Chapter 975: How Could He Lend It Out?

Ye Lanlan saw that Ye Ling didn’t reply so she said again, “Ling, I beg you. Just lend me four or five taels of silver. I will definitely find a way to repay you!”

The reason she came to borrow money this time was because her husband suddenly became addicted to gambling. He had a debt of three taels of silver. If he couldn’t pay it back on time, interest would be charged, making it even harder to repay.

All of her relatives refused to lend her money when they learned the debt was due to gambling.

After all, everyone on earth knew money lent to a gambling addict was money that they were never going to see again!

“Don’t call me Ling. I can’t stand it,” Ye Ling said without any hesitation. “I won’t lend you the money because I don’t even have one wen on me! You should go borrow it from your grandmother or Brother Xuan.”

In his mind, all the money he spent on medicine, food, and clothes, came from his brothers’ hard work. He didn’t have any income at all!

Although he now contributed slightly towards their family by helping to buy tomatoes at home, if this was counted as his salary, shouldn’t he spend that money on his wife? How could he lend it out?

Even if he wanted to lend it out, it depended on who it was, and whether or not his wife agreed!

When Ye Lanlan heard him say he had no money, she couldn’t help but lift up a corner of her mouth.

Ye Ling’s family was currently the richest family in their village!

Liu Duo walked over at this time. “That’s right. We are completely unrelated to you so why should we lend you money? You should go look for all of your relatives!”

When Ye Ling heard his wife’s voice, the frown on his face immediately relaxed and an obvious smile appeared on his face.

“Duo Er, have a piece of fruit to fill your stomach. Lunch is still a long way away,” Ye Ling said to her gently.

It was because he heard from Li Wazi that once a wife gets pregnant, she will get hungry easily and will look for things to eat.

That’s why he always asked Liu Duo to eat something, as he was afraid she would get hungry.

Of course, even if Liu Duo wasn’t pregnant, Ye Ling would still be as considerate as this.

“Okay. Ling, you should also eat.” Liu Duo handed a piece of fruit to Ye Ling while smiling.

After that, she took and handed another piece of fruit to Liu Ran. It was only then that she finally took and ate the fruit.

In response to them treating her as invisible, Ye Lanlan felt angry in her heart. However, she could not kick up a fuss so she had no choice but to hold it in.

It was her own fault for looking down on the four Ye brothers in the past.

Getting treated like this now that she came to seek help was simply karma!

“Ling, sister-in-law, I beg you guys to help me, okay? If I weren’t completely out of options, I wouldn’t have come to beg you guys,” Ye Lanlan said sincerely with a miserable look on her face.

Her bossy and domineering attitude had changed into such patience in just a few short months. This actually made Liu Duo and Ye Ling feel quite surprised.

They looked at her yellow and skinny body. If it weren’t for her round tummy, it would have been really hard to tell she was five or six months pregnant.

It might have been because Liu Duo was also pregnant right now, but she couldn’t help but be emotionally moved when she saw Ye Lanlan begging so pitifully.

“Duo Er, she said she wants to borrow five taels of silver from us,” Ye Ling said softly to Liu Duo.

Five taels of silver?

Five taels of silver were simply just a piece of cake for Liu Duo. They could very easily give it to her immediately.

“Why do you need to borrow five taels of silver?” Liu Duo asked curiously.

She did not believe an average peasant household would so rashly borrow five teals of silver from others.
