Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1070 Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite
Every family has its own troubles. The sisters came to borrow money early in the morning. Whether to lend it or not, three hundred taels of silver was not much for the Ma family.

Although the Ma family had already divided their assets, given Madam Ma's shrewdness, there was no way she wouldn't leave something for herself and her husband; she still had over a thousand taels of silver.

But then again, the other woman is like a sister to Aunt Ma, while Uncle Ma is just a sister-in-law, so there's always a distance between them.

Moreover, the other party borrowed three hundred taels of silver only because someone in their family was sick and in urgent need of help. It sounds like they just wanted to buy a shop so that their eldest grandson could marry into a wealthy family.

The shop's total price was less than five hundred taels of silver, and he would need to borrow three hundred taels. If you don't have the money, don't try to buy a shop to scam someone into marriage. It's no wonder that Master Ma would lend him the money.

What's most upsetting is that this sister-in-law, despite her advanced age, was crying and begging her brother-in-law in front of him, and even asked her nephew-in-law for help in finding a solution.

What can your nephew-in-law do to help? It's better to just tell him directly—nephew-in-law, please be kind and lend your aunt some money.

No wonder Ma Shan was furious.

"...Anyway, she said during the day that she wanted to stay overnight. Why can't we wait until your older brother leaves to say what we need to say? I've never seen an elder act like that."

That must be because your aunt has run out of tricks. She tried everything to appease you during the day, but your parents still wouldn't budge, so she just gave up and acted shamelessly in front of her nephew-in-law.

If I can't borrow three hundred taels of silver, I should at least lend her some. If I really refuse to lend her a single coin, it's not impossible for me to find my nephew-in-law again. Otherwise, I'll just stay for one night.
I'm afraid they won't leave until they get the money.

It's a contest of who cares more about saving face, and whoever does loses.

"What, is your brother her son-in-law? He's not her son-in-law, is he? She was about to ask your brother to lend her money in front of my parents, and my mother had to drag her out before she could say anything."

Your mother would never let your aunt ask for help, regardless of how much money your son-in-law has. She would only do this for your sake.

Zhou Banxia nodded in understanding.

Having such sisters is quite unfortunate for Aunt Ma. Her mother is so annoyed by her aunt that her eldest sister always thinks of her best interests.

Is that her brother-in-law?

Knowing full well that the money the couple claimed to have borrowed from her older sister to buy the courtyard was no different from a gift, they still wrote an IOU and insisted that Xuanzi accept it.

When she received her monthly allowance during her first month working at the government office, she specially prepared gifts and went to her in-laws' house to tell them that she could only owe it for now, for fear that her in-laws would have a problem with her.

Her brother-in-law didn't think of it as a debt between his wife and her sister at all. Whether the money was repaid or not was none of his business, let alone lending him money for business purposes.

Ma Shan had no idea what Zhou Banxia was thinking at that moment, otherwise she would have definitely retorted to her, "Who do you think you are, a sister or sister-in-law who is so devoted to you!"
After talking about her mother, she took a sip of tea and continued, "My father wasn't angry. He even told your older brother that he shouldn't have let my mother pour wine for my aunt. He was giving her too much face. How much can she drink from fruit wine?"
Don't believe that, brother. He was laughing like crazy the moment we left my parents' house. Having this aunt is so embarrassing; I'll never be able to hold my head up high in front of him again.

"No, no, not at all." Zhou Banxia waved her hand, trying her best to suppress her laughter. "My brother is probably laughing because he was thinking about how my uncle bought that shop."

Ma Shan paused for a moment, then slapped her thigh and laughed: "That's right! If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered. My aunt doesn't rack her brains like my uncle to buy a shop without spending any money!"
"Stop!"

Seeing Ma Shan laughing and reaching for her thigh, Zhou Banxia shouted "Stop!" and quickly dodged to the side.

If this were filmed, what would happen?
As the weather warmed up and she stayed indoors, she only wore a very thin pair of trousers under her long skirt.

When Ma Shan saw Zhou Banxia turn to the side and lift her skirt to show her, she couldn't help but burst into laughter again, remembering Zhou Banxia's usual dignified and elegant demeanor.

Seeing this, Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh out loud, secretly praising her good personality—her temper flared up quickly and subsided just as fast; no wonder her in-laws had chosen her as the eldest daughter-in-law. She was so easygoing.

No internal friction.

"Would you like a bowl of noodle soup?"

"Don't worry, even if I'm angry, I won't let myself go hungry. It's your older brother who's barely eaten anything; he definitely didn't eat enough tonight. What else do you have to eat in your little kitchen?"

Having become quite familiar with each other, Ma Shan reacted very quickly. As soon as Zhou Banxia asked her, she knew what she meant and made a request to Zhou Banxia without any hesitation.

"We have steamed buns, dumplings, and soup noodles. If you want soup noodles, we can make them quickly. The broth is still running. You don't need to worry about your older brother. Brother Liu has already given instructions on what the company commander and Xiao Suocheng should eat. Just tell me what you and Xiao Suocheng want to eat."

Ma Shan thought about it and agreed. Liu Lang would never let his brother go hungry, no matter who he was hungry. As for her mother and the three of them, "I really ate. I wasn't just being polite. Even the two younger ones ate."

Now that Changsuo is older, he doesn't cry like he used to when he couldn't get food from his brothers. He doesn't cry anymore; instead, he talks to his father as soon as he gets back.

This kid is making it sound like my parents are so biased towards their grandson, and that my brother and sister-in-law don't like him eating at home. Luckily, your older brother knows that you can't take what the kid says seriously.

"The adults haven't even sat down at the table yet, but my mother coaxed the two brothers to eat early. They've only been eating for a little over an hour, so they won't go hungry. I'll wait for my parents to come back so we can have a late-night snack together."

That's why people say a grandson is like a dog, he eats and then leaves.

Zhou Banxia nodded with a smile, "That's fine too. Our parents will be back soon. Our father went to Taozhuang this afternoon."

My father wasn't the only one who went with him; Uncle Zhao and a few others went too. If there hadn't been no curfew in town, my parents wouldn't have gotten home before midnight if they had stayed any later.

Ma Shan nodded in agreement.

Her father said the same thing. If her mother-in-law wasn't coming back tonight, he would definitely send someone back early to let her know, and he would also send a message to her mother, asking her to come to Taozhuang tomorrow if she had time.

As for her father-in-law, not only her, but her father also didn't expect that he would go to Taozhuang today. "Didn't you say that Uncle Zhao wanted some peace and quiet, so he specially chose to go back to his old house in Zhao Family Village to invite his old brothers for drinks?"

"Perhaps we didn't see eye to eye, so the gathering ended early." Zhou Banxia wasn't lying to Ma Shan; she genuinely thought so. "Uncle Zhao's idea is good, but some of his old friends might not be able to get along with him."

After all, he wasn't like our dad, who had a wide circle of friends. As far as I know, most of his friends in his early years were people who worked in the fields with him. Our dad, on the other hand, had all sorts of friends, and he could have a lot to talk about.

I guess Uncle Zhao was reminded of the lively scene when he saw our dad's old friends and buddies get together last time, and that's why he had the idea to invite his old buddies for drinks this time.

Our dad isn't someone you can compare to; he can get along with anyone. Even when he was stuck in the village by the old man and woman, he was still the infamous Master Wu—”

With a "pfft," Ma Shan burst out laughing, thinking to herself, "Luckily, I put down my teacup as soon as I heard you mention 'little friend,' otherwise I would have choked. And you even mentioned the famous Master Wu."

Which road?

"The Great Way of Life?"

Are you trying to make me laugh to death?
quite funny!

Sure enough, after talking to Sanya, all my worries disappeared.
