Chapter 978: It Really Broke Her Heart!

Chapter 976: It Really Broke Her Heart!

After all, for a household that had been peasants for generations, five taels of silver was a large amount of money. Who would lend it out so easily?

If their own family didn’t save up any money, would they still be able to return the money after they borrowed it?

When Ye Lanlan heard her, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and tears started flowing from her eyes.

She was also a headstrong person. She wiped away her tears and said slowly, “My husband became addicted to gambling and has a debt of a couple of taels of silver. If we can’t repay it today, interest will be charged, making it even harder to repay.”

Liu Duo and Ye Ling both frowned when they heard what she said. Neither of them had any positive opinions towards gamblers at all!

“The people from the gambling business sent someone to our house yesterday. They said if we don’t pay up quickly we will need to repay them through forced labor…”

When she said this, her voice showed an obvious tremble.

Liu Duo and Ye Ling exchanged glances. They had a mutual understanding and were both skeptical of what she said.

After all, she was pregnant. Would the gambling business dare to touch her?

It was as if Ye Lanlan knew they wouldn’t believe her so she continued. “The people from the gambling business said if we are still unable to repay them by the time I give birth, they will drag me to a brothel and sell my body to repay them until we clear all the debt!

“Ling, sister-in-law, I don’t want to be separated from my child. I also don’t want to go to a brothel. I beg you to please save me, okay?”

If she couldn’t clear the debt in one go, and once the interest started to compound, she wouldn’t be able to get out of the brothel for her entire life!

They saw that Ye Lanlan didn’t look like she was lying. Liu Duo actually felt quite furious about this.

“Did your husband agree?” Liu Duo asked, sounding furious.

Even if she didn’t have the money to immediately repay their debts, they shouldn’t drag her to those places, right?

Moreover, Ye Lanlan wasn’t the one who was in debt. What right did they have to make her take responsibility for it?!

“Yes.” Ye Lanlan nodded as her tears still continued to fall wildly.

She never would’ve thought her own husband would actually agree. He didn’t even show the slightest bit of hesitation.

It really broke her heart!

When Liu Duo saw Ye Lanlan nod, her opinion of Ye Lanlan’s husband, who she had never seen before, was extremely negative. However, this was completely unrelated to her so she didn’t make any comments.

“Regarding what you said, although we are moved, we still won’t lend you the money.”

After Liu Duo exchanged a glance with Ye Ling, she frowned and said slowly, “Let’s not talk about our relationship with you now and only talk about the five taels of silver. When will you repay it to us after we lend it to you?”

“Your husband’s family doesn’t have other income. How can you be certain you can repay us after we lend it to you? You need to know, money isn’t something that will appear out of nowhere!”

Even if Liu Duo wasn’t familiar with Ye Lanlan’s husband’s household condition, they had been peasant farmers for generations. How could they possibly cough up five taels of silver easily?

Ye Ling also said at this time, “You should find someone else to lend it to you. Our family doesn’t have any spare money to lend you! My medicine and Ran Er’s paper and brushes cost quite a lot of money. When our babies are born, we will also need to raise them, and we will have even less spare money to lend you.”

Although he was moved, he was just a common man and not Buddha. If everyone came to their family to borrow money, would they have to lend it to all of them?

Even if they ignored the money they spent on food and daily necessities, Ye Ling’s monthly medical bills were ten times more expensive than before. The money needed for Liu Ran’s paper and brushes also cost a lot to purchase.

With all these expenses, Ye Ling felt that their family probably didn’t have any spare money.

Of course, this was just what he believed!

Only Ye Liu, Ye Mo, and Liu Duo knew their family’s true financial situation. Ye Yang and Ye Ling never asked about it, much less Liu Ran.
