Chapter 737 - Even If He Had Some, He Would Not Lend It To Her!

Ye Yang, with his stone-cold expression, looked at her and gave a two-word reply: “No money!”

Then he came over to Liu Duo and patted her on the head adoringly, as though telling her that she was in charge of money matters.

As far as he was concerned, he no longer hunted for a living, so in other words, he did not have any income!

He worked on the farm now, and he could sell the crops for money, but even then, it could not amount to fifty taels!

Even if he had the money, he would not lend it to her!

The gang might be uncertain why Ye Lanlan suddenly left on her own and came here to borrow money, but they did not have a single ounce of pity towards her.

She even asked for fifty taels of silver, which made everyone accommodating the space roll their eyes.

Did she think they made easy money?

“Lanlan, I think you may be looking for the wrong people. The four of us really don’t have the money. We don’t even have five taels of silver, much less fifty.” Ye Liu cracked a cynical smile at her.

Ye Mo and Ye Ling exclaimed at the same time, “We don’t have any either!”

Only their tones were different. One was rough, the other soft.

Ye Lanlan was rather perplexed by this. She had known her request might not go that smoothly, but she had never expected the brothers to say they were poor.

“Brother Yang, Liu, Mo, and Ling, I know you have some complaints about me, even Grandmother and several others, but I’m still your sister, after all. You can’t possibly leave me out there to rot…? Help me, please? Once I’m stable, once I give birth to my baby, I’ll pay you back… My husband visited the brothel behind my back while I was pregnant, and my mother-in-law doesn’t treat me well at all…” Ye Lanlan sprung into tears as she told her story.

She cried and cried miserably.

Despite that, the people in the room had nothing to say. What did this have to do with them?

“This is your problem. Don’t come over here with your sob story asking for money. Go back to your parents. We don’t have any money for you. Get out!” Ye Mo frowned and repeated what he had previously said, but in a nicer tone.

Ye Ling, also frowning, actually began to worry. The worst thing to happen to a woman was to be married to the wrong man.

“If you want to leave him, you ought to seek the village chief,” Li Wazi said.

Ye Lanlan learned her lesson this time and refrained from talking back. Instead, she patiently replied, “I know I should look for the chief, but I have to get myself settled first. Grandmother won’t allow me to go back. I’m a woman and I’m pregnant, where else can I go?”

Something glimmered in her eye as she spoke, as if she was having an epiphany. “Brother Yang, Liu, Mo, Ling, Liu Duo, if you can’t lend me some silver, can I stay at your house instead? At least until my child is born, then I’ll find another place. Is that alright? Of course, I’ll do some work around here and definitely not eat off you.”

She was no longer asking for money, so perhaps the gang could change their minds. They had a lot of space here, so there must be an empty room available! At the end of the day, she was their only female cousin after all.

After hearing the woman’s long speech, Liu Duo refreshed everything that she knew of her original family’s level of shamelessness.

Liu Duo spoke this time. “Ye Lanlan, there’s something you ought to be made aware of. Our house is not a shelter. It’s also not a welfare center. Wherever you go after you leave your husband, that’s your problem.”
