"I want to borrow 50,000 yuan from you."

Yang Yunxia mustered up her courage and spoke up. Her mother sent people every day to ask her when she could move, saying that the people who would build the house had already been found.

The materials, such as cement and bricks, were also arranged, and construction would begin as soon as the money arrived. She also said that her family would move in with her in the next couple of days.

"Sister-in-law, I..."

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, we're having some cash flow problems with our business lately, and we don't have any cash to lend you."

Xia Guofang interrupted Luo Hao before he could finish speaking; she had no intention of lending Yang Yunxia money.

Yang Yunxia's face stiffened; she hadn't expected Xia Guofang to refuse her. Just a few days ago, Xia Guofang had told her that he had just spent hundreds of thousands to buy four houses, and that a mere fifty thousand yuan was nothing to them.

She realized she wasn't planning to lend her money, and her face darkened at the thought.

"Guofang, are you afraid I won't have the money to pay you back, that's why you won't lend me the money? Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back."

"Sister-in-law, I didn't mean it that way. We really don't have that much cash to lend you. Why don't you wait a little longer, and I'll lend it to you when we have it?"

You're kidding me! Luo Hao just said he was going to take Xia Yichu to buy jewelry and gold bars. Did Xia Guofang hear something, which is why he doesn't want to lend her money?

"Luo Hao, could you lend me 20,000 yuan first?"

Seeing Xia Guofang's resolute attitude, Yang Yunxia turned to Luo Hao and said that she planned to start with him.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to lend it, it's just that I really don't have it at home."

Xia Guofang kicked Luo Hao's feet repeatedly to stop him from speaking, while verbally refusing him. Luo Hao was kicked several times, and now his feet hurt and there were footprints on his pants.

He didn't know what Xia Guofang meant, but he couldn't stand it, so he stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll lend it to you."

Luo Hao

Xia Guofang shouted angrily, startling Luo Hao. Yang Yunxia also shuddered, unsure of Xia Guofang's intentions. They had been on good terms just a few days ago, and now asking her for a small loan felt like a death sentence. Xia Yichu remained silent, watching the scene unfold.

"Come here, I have something to say to you." Xia Guofang walked into the room she had reserved for her parents with a dark expression.

"Sister-in-law, Xiao Chu, please sit for a while, we'll be right back," Luo Hao said awkwardly before going into the room.

Close the door.

Luo Hao obediently closed the door and asked with a puzzled look, "Your sister-in-law is just borrowing money, why are you making such a fuss? It's not like we don't have any money at home."

"You didn't even ask my sister-in-law what she needed the money for? And you dared to lend it to her?"

"What can she do? Xiaoqian is getting married, what's wrong with her lending him some money to help him prepare? Can't she lend it to him?"

"Am I such an unreasonable person? If she really just wanted to lend money to Xiaoqian for his wedding, how could I, as her sister-in-law, refuse to lend it?"

Besides, when has my sister-in-law ever been so good to her two sons? She only gave two or three thousand yuan when Xiaoheng got married, but now she's willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan on Xiaoqian's wedding.

Luo Hao thought about it and realized it was impossible; Yang Yunxia didn't seem to care much about her two sons. Could it be that she was angry because she wanted to borrow money for her family?

I don't think so. She wouldn't be that foolish. I've never heard of her lending money to her family before.

"If it's not because Xiaoqian is getting married and she's borrowing money, then what is she going to do with tens of thousands of yuan?"

"What else can we do? Borrow money from the Yang family to build a house. But I'm warning you, you're not allowed to lend her a single penny. Mom just told me yesterday not to lend her any money."

Luo Hao started to panic when he heard that his mother-in-law wouldn't allow him to borrow money either way. He was now caught in the middle, and it was all his wife's fault for not telling him sooner.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? What are we going to do now? I already agreed to lend her the money."

"Now you're asking me what to do? I kicked you several times just now, how come you didn't even react?"

"I thought you were afraid your sister-in-law wouldn't be able to pay it back, which is why you were reluctant to lend her the money. I had no idea that things were like this."

In Luo Hao's memory, Xia Guofang was not as generous as him when buying things for Grandpa and Grandma Xia. She would forbid him from buying this or that, and she wouldn't let Luo Hao give them too much money.

Little did Luo Hao know that no sooner had he left than Grandpa and Grandma Xia returned all the items and money. Xia Guofang, annoyed, wouldn't let Luo Hao buy too much.

The key issue is that her parents wouldn't let her tell Luo Hao. They knew Luo Hao was a grateful person, and he would feel guilty if they didn't accept the gifts. So, after accepting the gifts, they planned to return them to their daughter when Luo Hao went on a long trip.

"You're so devoted to my parents, but I, their adopted daughter, am not filial to them at all. Every time you give them things or money, they give them back and won't even let me tell you."

Am I a heartless person in your eyes? You repay your debt of gratitude without any guilt, and even gain a reputation for being a dutiful father-in-law and mother-in-law.

I'm caught in the middle! If one day you suddenly find the things you gave them in my hands, wouldn't you assume I asked them to take them back?

I really don't know what my parents were thinking. They could have just refused you directly. Why go through all this just to make you feel better?

Luo Hao was stunned after hearing Xia Guofang's words; he really didn't know anything about this. Every time he gave something to the elderly couple, they would happily accept it, only mentioning it briefly and telling him not to buy it again next time.

Heaven gave him parents who didn't love him, but as compensation, it gave him the best in-laws in the world. He even had people who cared for him; it felt so good. Thinking about this, Luo Hao couldn't help but smile.

"You can still laugh? Say something! What are we going to do now?"

Unless absolutely necessary, Xia Guofang didn't want to completely break ties with Yang Yunxia. Yang Yunxia was now a minor leader in the Education Bureau, and it was best not to offend her if possible.

"Give the fifty thousand yuan to your sister-in-law; consider it a gift from us."

"Why don't you understand? Mom means we can't lend it to you or give it to you."

"Why? If I don't give it to my sister-in-law, she'll ask Zhiheng and Zhiqian for it. She might even ask my parents. Giving it to her wouldn't be a win-win situation."

Luo Hao doesn't care about the money, as long as everyone doesn't get angry because Yang Yunxia wants money.

"Can't you see? The Yang family is a bottomless pit; no matter how much you give them, they'll never be full. Xiaoqian has earned quite a bit of money over the years, but Mom doesn't let him tell anyone, for fear that the Yang family will leech off him."

Besides, if Xiaoheng and Xiaoqian find out you gave money to my sister-in-law, they'll definitely pay it back. You're not the one who listens to my mother the most; if she finds out you gave money to my sister-in-law, she'll definitely be very angry.

Xia Guofang had always disapproved of Yang Yunxia spending money on her family, but in the past, her mother wouldn't let her interfere when Yang Yunxia spent her own salary. Now, however, if Yang Yunxia wanted to spend her and her two nephews' money, Xia Guofang would be the first to object.

"But what should we do now? If we go out and refuse my sister-in-law directly, won't that offend her?"

Luo Hao knew the old couple's character and was afraid of upsetting them, so he didn't dare mention giving them money.

"Let me think about it."

Xia Guofang paced back and forth in the room, while Luo Hao also tried to come up with a solution. Actually, Luo Hao wanted to solve it with money; he was too lazy to bother with anything that could be solved with money.

He could spend more time on business instead of figuring out solutions, and who knows, he might just make the money back. Problems that can be solved with money aren't a big deal to him, but he's also worried about upsetting his mother-in-law, so he keeps pacing back and forth in agitation.

"I've got it! Didn't you say you had a business deal to discuss recently? Go quickly."

Luo Hao knew what his wife meant. After he left, Yang Yunxia couldn't find him to borrow money, and the matter was eventually dropped.

"But what will you do if I leave? And Xiao Kai, can you handle things on your own?"
