The words of Yang Ming plunged the hearts of the An Family into despair, extinguishing the hope that had just been ignited.
But they couldn’t resent it, after all, this family of three had only t them once. Being able to give An’an twenty taels of silver was already not easy, how could they also ask for another thirty taels?
What’s more, there was the blatant threat from the Zheng Family, anyone would make the sa choice.
Just as Yang Ming was about to say sothing more, Old An was interrupted. He almost spoke with a trembling voice, "Child, Uncle understands, Uncle doesn’t bla you."
"Hahaha, young man, you’re quite the smart one, that’s more like it!" Old Zheng, sitting there, was finally pleased. Since the young man didn’t lend silver to Old An’s family, An’an was sure to beco his son’s wife.
Then he shouted at Old An’s family, "Old An, since you can’t co up with fifty taels of silver, call An’an out now. My son is waiting at ho to get married."
The laughter reverberated through the entire courtyard, casting a gloomy shadow.
Seeing that things were already decided, Old An could only move his heavy steps, intending to go inside and call An’an out.
Faced with this outco, An Quan couldn’t accept it. He shouted at his father, "Dad!"
Old An shook his head, sighed, and said, "This is just An’an’s fate. It’s all because I’m too incompetent, I’m sorry for that child."
"Hahaha, better hurry up. Bring out that girl An’an, or we’ll just break in and take her." Old Zheng sat there crowing.
Even Mrs. Chen acted superior, "Old Uncle An, don’t keep the Zheng Family waiting."
Just as everyone thought the Zheng Family was winning, Yang Ming supported Old An and said, "Uncle An, I said I wouldn’t lend you silver, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t handle this matter."
Hearing these words, the An Family widened their eyes. What did he an? Was he going to handle this? But how could he handle it without silver?
Not only were the An Family surprised, but the onlookers were also astonished. Could things really turn around? If it really could, what did the An Family do to deserve the help of a benefactor?
Old Zheng on the chair beca restless and with an angry face said, "Young man, what do you an by that? Are you planning to intervene in this matter? You should weigh how much weight you carry."
Yang Ming ignored Old Zheng’s words, enraging him further.
Yang Ming told Old An, "Uncle An, if you use these thirty taels to buy land or for proper use, not just thirty, even fifty taels I would lend you, but giving thirty taels to their family, I see no need for that, after all, you only owe twenty taels."
Yang Ming’s words were clearly provoking Old Zheng who was sitting there, making the villagers sweat with anxiety, wondering if the young man would get beaten up. However, Yang Ming’s words unmistakably indicated that he had silver, plenty of it, but just wouldn’t give it to the Zheng Family. This made people feel that wealth really made him capricious.
Yet Yang Ming’s words made Old An very uneasy. Without giving silver, how could Old Zheng and his group be sent away?
"Child..."
Yang Ming noticed Old An’s unease, gave him a reassuring look, and said, "Uncle, leave this matter to ."
