Chapter 999: Chapter 999 Enough bullshit! Chapter 999: Chapter 999 Enough bullshit! “You, you…”
Old Mr. Yang’s lips trembled as he looked at his daughter.
Glancing at her rounded belly again, his old face turned beet red.
“Dad, your daughter really can’t make it anymore.”
Yang Lin, seeing her father unable to utter a complete sentence and her mother with a face ashen as iron, her eyes looking at her like she was a plague, knew that ntioning money was like hitting them where it hurt the most.
She fiercely pinched her own thigh, and her tears fell even more fiercely.
“Before you ca, I even tried to borrow silver from our clan leader, but you must not know, Dad, I’ve borrowed from every family in the village that can lend. Everyone is… Dad, I don’t need much, just eight hundred taels, eight hundred taels will do.
Really, Dad, Mom, it’s the first ti, truly the first ti I’ve asked you for help. Just help your daughter this once and borrow so from Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Fifth Brother.
I swear to you, as long as Changfeng passes the exams next year, I will… I will definitely pay you back!”
“What? You still want to borrow money from us?”
Eldest Uncle Yang’s eyes nearly popped out upon hearing this.
“I’ve got no silver to lend you, not even a copper coin,” Second Uncle Yang stated imdiately.
He had heard that his nephew had beco skilled and ca to take advantage of him, but how did it turn into him paying out silver for Lin Changfeng’s use? How could that be possible?
“How can that be, Dad, Mom, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, are you saying you have no silver because you don’t want to help Changfeng?” Yang Lin, lifting her hand and wiping her tears with her sleeve, asked.
“My Changfeng is so promising. Really, as long as he passes the exams next year, he will surely…”
“What if he doesn’t pass?” Fifth Uncle Yang finally managed to blurt out after holding it in for a while.
That ‘as long as’ is nonsense. Changfeng’s success as this year’s winner of the examination was his luck. Who knows if he’ll be that lucky next year?
“How could that be?”
Yang Lin imdiately knit her brows and shook her head.
“It can’t be, it can’t be; Changfeng is so clever, he will surely pass. Even if he doesn’t, there’s still three years from now, by then he will definitely be able to…”
“Nonsense!”
Old Mr. Yang bellowed furiously.
“I’ve finally co to see clearly that there’s not a single good thing in the Lin Family. You still expect to fork out silver? No way!
Lin Changfeng, you useless thing, if our family has to rely on you, we’re done for. What’s the use of winning the examination if all you do is spend the family’s money and know nothing else.
Others pass as scholars and earn a hundred or two hundred taels. What about you? You still want to pay out for you? Dream on!”
He pointed at Lin Changfeng, jumping up and down, scolding furiously.
“Dad, why are you scolding Changfeng? It’s , his mother, who’s no good; what’s it got to do with him? Mom, speak up, won’t you? Changfeng is your own grandson, if he makes sothing of himself, won’t you be proud too?”
Yang Lin looked toward Old Madam Yang, her voice lower, trying to persuade.
“Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Fifth Brother, you’re my own brothers. Now that I’m in trouble, surely you should help out, right? I promise you, just this once, and if Changfeng ever has…”
“What ‘ever has’? Who cares about your future!” Eldest Uncle Yang cut off Yang Lin’s words fiercely.
If he had that much silver, he’d be enjoying good food and drink by now, why would he be here?
