A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 224 Borrowing Money
“Hey, Wang Mei, how can you talk like that? My Shanzi is very smart, he just doesn’t want to study. If he had a job, he would definitely be very successful.”

Those who heard this couldn't help but roll their eyes.

The filter she's using on her own son isn't just 800 meters thick, it's 8,000 meters thick!
Shen Yunlian gently advised, "Sister-in-law Ma, this really won't do. They are just Jiaojiao's godparents, and we've only known them for a short time. We're family, and we're too ashamed to let them arrange jobs for us."

The implication is that you guys are even less shameless.

Aunt Ma seemed not to understand human speech.

"How do you know they're unhappy if you didn't even ask them? Jiaojiao helped them so much, why not use that favor? I think you're all stupid."

"I'm too embarrassed to let the kids go myself. Since they like Yun Jiao, let Yun Jiao go and ask them. They'll probably agree out of politeness. If there's a job opportunity, who would go fishing every day?"

Grandma Yun and the others' faces darkened.

"You may be shameless, but we still have our pride!"

Wang Mei immediately told him to get out: "Get out, get out! You've ruined my good mood today."

What bad luck.

Aunt Ma: "Hey Wang Mei, I'm your elder, how dare you talk to me like that?"

Grandma Yun: "If she can't say it, I will. My daughter-in-law's opinion is my opinion. You are not welcome in my family!"

Yunlinhai, Yunlinhe, and even Yun Xiaowu and his group were all eyeing them covetously.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of her, Aunt Ma spat and left with her son.

He was still cursing as he left.

"You fools who don't know how to use favors! You can't even help with something so small. You'll be begging my family for help someday!"

Yunlinhe and the others rolled their eyes.

No sooner had this oddball left than someone else eagerly came up to him, trying to gain sympathy.

Grandma Yun and Grandpa Yun's eyelids twitched immediately. Without even hearing what was said next, they knew that this person was definitely here to borrow money.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, you know my family's situation. We have elderly parents to support and young children to raise. I've come to you today because we're really struggling to make ends meet. Look how thin these three children are. Please lend me some money, and I promise I'll pay you back quickly."

Grandpa Yun looked unwell as he smoked.

Although I had expected to encounter this situation, my good mood was completely ruined tonight.

No one would look happy.

"Aunt Lin, if I remember correctly, you borrowed money from someone the year before last and last year. Did you pay it back?"

The speaker was Yun Chennan, who wore glasses and whose eyes seemed to see right through people.

"You've lent money to more than five families in our village, haven't you paid them back yet?"

Aunt Lin was speechless after being talked to, looking somewhat awkward and pitiful.

"I, I'm just short of money."

Yun Chennan said gently, "But this wasn't caused by our family, nor by anyone else."

"Why would you rather set aside your dignity and borrow money everywhere than let Uncle Yunliang spend money on the family?"

Aunt Yun covered her face and sobbed, "I... I can't persuade him."

Yun Jiao nestled in her fourth brother's arms, watching him. She felt that this person was very strange. He was clearly pitiful, but at the same time, the things he did were also hateful.

"I'm really fed up with you." One of the people she had lent money to rolled her eyes: "When are you going to pay back my money? I've never seen anyone as spineless as you. Your husband is using his money to support other women outside, and he doesn't care about the children and elderly at home. What's the use of begging him? Why don't you hit him? I told you to go to the police station to report it, but you won't go. You're not getting a divorce. What's the use of borrowing money everywhere all the time?"

Aunt Lin lowered her head and said, "I... I can't. He's the child's father, he's my husband. I can't call the police. He's my husband, I can't get a divorce."

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.

You might call her cowardly, but she's willing to beg and borrow money from everyone she meets.

She's brave, but at home she's more cowardly than anyone else. Her helpless, pathetic state makes people roll their eyes, yet there's nothing they can do about it.

"Aunt Lin, I'm sorry, we can't lend you this money."

Yun Chennan was clearly just a teenager, but at this moment he seemed to be the head of a family.

Yun Jiao looked at him with sparkling eyes. "Third brother is so amazing!"

"Your family sold so many large yellow croakers; you've also struggled through life. Can't you lend us some money to help us? How can you be so selfish?"

Wang Mei retorted, "Whose money grows on trees? Even when our family was struggling and poor, we never borrowed money from your family. Besides, it's easy to borrow again if you repay what you borrow. We've already repaid all the money we borrowed. What about you?"

How many people do you owe money to? Have you paid back even a penny? To put it nicely, it's called borrowing; you're clearly just pocketing other people's money!

Yun Chennan: "If Aunt Lin really feels troubled, there is actually another solution."

The people who had lent money to Yun Chennan all looked at him.

Yun Chennan smiled and said, "Husband and wife are one. Since Aunt Yunlin can't come up with the money, then go find Uncle Yunliang."

"Yup!"

Someone slapped their thigh and exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of that? Go find Yunliang! Since he's keeping Widow Li and her son on the side, he must have money!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu immediately lost his composure.

She chose to borrow money at this time because she thought that under these circumstances, she would lend some money, no matter how much, out of consideration for others.

But I never expected that Yun Chennan's few words would lead to this situation.

Lin Qiu no longer cared about whether or not to lend money.

She quickly said to the group, "I will definitely pay back the money. Don't look for A-Liang. He's had a hard life too. Besides, if you go there, he'll definitely argue with me when he comes back and want a divorce. What will I do then? What will happen to my children?"

"Lin Qiu, are you out of your mind? Yun Liang has used all his money to support that widow outside. Isn't it good for you if we ask him to pay back the money? How can you not distinguish between right and wrong?"

Yun Jiao stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to watch the excitement. Third Brother was really something; he turned their family's fun into someone else's.

"No, no, I'll pay you back. Please, please don't look for Ah Liang."

After Lin Qiu's repeated, obsequious pleas, those people, looking rather displeased, reluctantly agreed not to go looking for Yun Liang.

Everyone just thought Lin Qiu was mentally ill, and seriously so.

Yun Chennan adjusted his glasses: "Aunt Lin has a self-sacrificing, self-pitying personality."

The way she thinks is beyond the comprehension of normal people, because she simply doesn't listen.

It truly proves the saying that every pitiful person has something hateful about them.

Now Lin Qiu didn't dare to borrow money from Yun Jiao's family anymore. She just resented their stinginess and selfishness in her heart. She gave them a sad look and left with the children.

It was getting late, and the others gradually left, finally bringing some peace and quiet to their house.
