Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Borrow money?

Lu Yang shook his head. "Father-in-law, it's not that I'm stingy. Two million is not a lot, but it's not a small amount either. Although I'm short of money recently, I can still come up with it if I grit my teeth. But in your situation, you just divorced my mother-in-law. It's not right for me to lend you the money now. I won't be able to explain myself when I go back."

Lu Yang said this half-truthfully.

It’s just 200 million, it’s 2000 million, not million.

How could I be short of money?

Yep, that's totally an excuse.

The reasons are ready-made. If he lends the money to his father-in-law, his wife, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law will definitely be angry with him when he returns to the city.

Seeing his son-in-law hesitate, Old Man Yin said excitedly, "Why can't you explain it? If your mother-in-law doesn't take my 100 million yuan savings after the divorce, do I need to borrow money from you?"

Lu Yang didn't like to hear this.

He frowned and said, "Father-in-law, you only gave my mother-in-law more than 100 million in savings after the divorce, and you didn't suffer any loss. In fact, you got a daughter-in-law who is 30 years younger than you, and your son. Without this 100 million, could you have made them your legal wife?

And your furniture factory now has an annual profit of at least 100 or yuan, and its scale is getting bigger every year. One million yuan is only the profit of the furniture factory for two or three years. Is it really a lot?

Father-in-law, don't be so ungrateful now that we have gained an advantage.

That is to say, last time you were getting divorced, sister Mingyue didn't allow me to come back with her. If I had been there last time, and if I had been the one advising my father-in-law and mother-in-law to make a choice during your divorce lawsuit, I would definitely have suggested that she choose the factory instead of some bullshit 100 million in savings.

One million is nothing compared to the furniture factory under your name, right? Am I right, father-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Yin immediately felt guilty and avoided looking into his son-in-law's eyes.

He said stubbornly, "It was the woman who insisted on getting a divorce, and she chose the money herself. I didn't force her. Besides, the furniture factory isn't worth much, not as much as you say. I'd be very satisfied if I could earn 10 yuan a year for my retirement. Besides, she took all the cash. Once the year is over, I'll have no money to stock up on some good wood to make a batch of furniture. I don't know what to do."

Lu Yang was waiting for this sentence and smiled: "That's great, father-in-law, since you are short of money, don't mention whether you can lend me money or not. How about I pay 100 million to buy your furniture factory, which only has a net profit of 10 yuan a year?
It just so happens that you are going to retire, aren’t you?

With this 100 million, I guarantee you will have a happy retirement life, no worse than my mother-in-law. What do you think? Do you want to consider it?"

I'm thinking of Jill.

Old man Yin glared at Lu Yang fiercely, then said angrily: "I'm not old yet, and I'm not planning to retire so early. My child is still young, just one month old, I have to work hard to save a rich family fortune for him. And you, son-in-law, you are so rich, but you still come to cheat your father-in-law, isn't it a bit too much?"

Wanting to buy his furniture factory whose net profit last year exceeded 100 for million is simply wishful thinking and he wouldn't even dare to do it in his dreams.

Not to mention 100 million, even if it was 200 million or 300 million, he might not be willing to transfer the furniture factory to others.

In other words, this furniture factory is his lifeblood. As a carpenter, if he leaves the furniture factory and the wood, what else can he do?

Lu Yang spread his hands and pretended to be helpless: "Then I have no choice. Father-in-law, you are reluctant to transfer the furniture store to me, and you asked me to lend you money. Moreover, you think that my mother-in-law took advantage of you by taking away your 100 million savings during the divorce."

"These words have reached my mother-in-law's ears. If she knew that I was on the same side as you, she would be very angry with me. Mingyue and Mingzhu are on their mother's side now. If they knew, wouldn't they also be very angry with me?"

"No, I can't lend you this money."

After saying that, he shook his head again.

Seeing that Lu Yang refused to agree, Old Man Yin became anxious and started to speak without restraint.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you want to be an ungrateful person? Don't forget that I am not just your father-in-law, I am also your master. I provide you with food and shelter. I have taught you skills for so many years. I even married my daughter to you. How can you treat me like this now?"

"And those two girls are ungrateful too. I raised them for 20 years just to have a son of my own, to give them a brother. Am I wrong?"

"It's between their mother and I, our adult affairs. Do they, as children, need to come out and take sides, stand up for their mother and deal with me, their father?"

The old man became so excited that his saliva was spurting everywhere.

Seeing that the son-in-law didn't say anything.

He just frowned, moved the stool under his buttocks, and moved back a little, then became even more aggressive.

"Don't worry about them. Whether they are angry or not is a matter for the future. Lend me the money first. I need it today."

It sounds like if Lu Yang doesn't give him money, then Lu Yang is an ungrateful villain and an ungrateful person.

Lu Yang's expression gradually turned cold.

"Father-in-law, if you want to say so, then that's fine. After all, if you hadn't taken me in, given me food to eat, taught me the craft, and married Sister Mingyue to me, even the capital for my business was the dowry you gave to Sister Mingyue.

But if you say that this is all your credit, that’s not entirely true, right?
I heard that it was my mother-in-law who decided to take me in, but it was also her who decided to replace Mingzhu with Mingyue, so I got the 5000 yuan dowry. You must have forgotten all the right and wrong in this, right, father-in-law?"

Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, there will be different opinions from different standpoints.

At the beginning, Ma Xiulan used her younger daughter who stuttered to replace her older daughter who was admitted to university, trying to pass off fake daughters as real ones in order to force Lu Yang, who was already under pressure, to submit.

This was considered a bad thing at the time.

But now Lu Yang is doing well, and his youngest daughter Yin Mingyue's stuttering has also healed on its own. In addition, over the years since his marriage, Lu Yang's business has grown bigger and bigger. He has gone from being the richest man in the village, to the richest man in the county, and then to the richest man in the city. It seems that he may have a chance to become one of the richest people in the entire continent in the future, and have a chance to compete for the richest man in the Chinese circle.

From this perspective, it is a foregone conclusion that the younger daughter, Yin Mingyue, will bring good luck to her husband.

Then Ma Xiulan's original decision to match couples up by chance was not a bad thing, but a merit.

If Lu Yang says it is, then it is.

"Father-in-law, I am very grateful to you over the years, but this gratitude cannot belong to you alone. My mother-in-law should also have a share in this. What I said should be right, right?"

Old Man Yin was speechless for a moment.

He was only thinking about money and was anxious to get it. He didn't hear the hidden meaning in Lu Yang's words, so he just gave up. "Stop talking nonsense. How much are you willing to give?"

Lu Yang stretched out his palm and waved it, letting the other party see clearly that his fingers were closed, and then chopped it down fiercely.

"What do you mean?"

"If you cut the 200 million in half, it will naturally be 100 million. But if my father-in-law takes this 100 million, then I won't owe you a favor. From now on, don't even think about asking me for money again."

It's better to make some things clearer.

Lu Yang is not short of money, but if he gives money to his father-in-law and lets him use the money to raise his bastard, this will not only make the three women in the family unhappy, but he himself will also feel very blocked in his heart and have an inexplicable sense of absurdity. He doesn't want this to happen again and again.

Old man Yin obviously understood what his son-in-law said.

So he also hesitated.

After all, it seems not worth it to fall out with such a rich son-in-law just for 100 million. However, what should I do if I don’t agree and the other party is unwilling to lend me the money?
He couldn't accept the failure of his plan, and he had been thinking about this plan for a long time.

If he could acquire the shares of the mining company behind the village, he would be able to become a wealthy man and an influential figure in the future, and he wouldn't have to rely on his son-in-law anymore.

So thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and asked one last question: "Do you want to pay back the 100 million?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

If he has to pay it back, he will feel it is not worth it. What if his son-in-law has only lent him the money for two or three months, and he has just obtained the village collective’s equity in the Houshan Mining Company, and before he can even get comfortable with it, his son-in-law urges him to pay it back? What can he use to pay it back?
Wouldn't it be that in the end, all benefits went to her son-in-law?
If he didn't have a son now, it wouldn't matter, because in the end, it would all be his son-in-law, daughter, and grandson. But now that he has his own son, he has to consider his son and can't let all the things be given to his prospective son-in-law.

Lu Yang didn't think of taking advantage of him, so he crossed his legs and said nonchalantly: "If you don't like it, you don't have to pay back the money."

It's just 100 million. If my father-in-law accepts it, then so be it. It's a good opportunity for him to make a cut.

It's impossible that the father-in-law doesn't care whether he is raising a child for someone else, and his cheap brother-in-law doesn't care in the future and will just use his money to support this cheap brother-in-law?

Then he might be sick to death.

Probably the two sisters Yin Mingzhu and Yin Mingyue would also be disgusted to death.

In this case, it is better to make the cut early.

"Okay, that's what you said. Give me the money. I'll take the 100 million and I won't pay you back. If you're willing to acknowledge me as your father-in-law, you can come and pay New Year's greetings to me every year. If you don't want to acknowledge me anymore, then you can go and take care of your mother-in-law. I won't need you to take care of me anymore. We'll be even from now on."

One million is not a small sum of money. After considering it again and again, Old Man Yin still feels that he should get the money first. With this money, he can immediately solve his urgent needs.

Even if the village collective cannot get its share of the mining company's shares at today's meeting, it can use them to expand its own furniture factory, hire more workers, and buy a few trucks. When production and sales increase, profits will naturally increase. Who says that I can't become someone like my son-in-law?
Multi-millionaire, billionaire, such a high hat, can a prospective son-in-law wear it? But can't I, who is both the master and the father-in-law, wear it?
Ever since he had a son, the old Yin family had a son, he had become ambitious.

He is no longer the honest carpenter he used to be.

Lu Yang nodded: "Okay, I'll have someone deliver the money later, so it won't delay your shareholders' meeting this afternoon."

After saying that, he didn't even eat his meal, and stood up and said goodbye neatly.

As for the woman, she fried two more hot dishes from the kitchen and brought them out, she found that her old man was the only one left at the table. The cheap son-in-law who was said to be very rich was gone, so she went to her husband to ask the reason.

That will all happen later.

Anyway, knowing that she could get 100 million for free, this woman would definitely be so happy that she would laugh out loud, and she would never blame the old man for not being able to keep this rich and cheap son-in-law.

Lu Yang left his father-in-law's yard.

There was no expression of anger on his face. Instead, he felt that this trip was the right one. He could spend 100 million and solve a big problem in the future, which would be a big profit for him.

If my father-in-law is willing to raise a bastard for someone else, that is his business. I have no intention of acknowledging this cheap brother-in-law, and I will not let him take advantage of me in the future.

Get rid of all these worries.

Lu Yang drove to his second grandfather's home at the foot of the mountain behind the village.

Park the car.

From a distance, I saw the boy Dajun and his wife Xiaoxiao. The couple were squatting under the eaves, each holding a bowl of rice, and eating with relish.

Seeing Lu Yang getting off the car with the gifts, the two of them quickly put down their bowls and ran over here.

Da Jun scolded, "Why did you come at this time? I heard that you just arrived this morning. Don't you have to go and wish your father-in-law a happy new year first?"

It's past dinner time and his family hasn't prepared anything.

Can't you see he's already eating?
They were all brothers, so he didn't say anything polite.

Xiaoxiao enthusiastically accepted the various gifts from the boss, turned around and kicked her husband, and said rudely: "Hurry up and lead the way. Tell my little sister and grandpa not to eat yet. Add two more dishes and wait for the boss to come in and eat together."

Lu Yang quickly declined: "No, but we are family. I will just eat whatever I want. No need to add more dishes or ask Second Grandpa to stop eating. I brought a few bottles of good wine. Let's drink a few glasses with Second Grandpa later, brothers."

After saying that, he didn't blame anyone. Da Jun had just blamed him for coming late. Dinner had already started at home, but instead he started to show his affection to the other person.

The army was so happy that its mouth stretched to the back of its head.

He raised his head proudly towards his wife.

Look, this is my brother, my brother for life.

Xiaoxiao was also very happy.

But seeing her man being so arrogant, she immediately warned him and glared at him fiercely.

Okay, big guy, you want to rebel, right?
Da Jun immediately stopped showing off and secretly bowed to his wife and apologized. Then, when his good brother saw it, he touched the back of his head in a naive manner.
