Before Xu He could answer, Zhang Fangyuan smiled again: "If you want to lend her money, you can lend it. All of our money is with you, and you can make the decision."

The corner of Xu He's mouth bent slightly, he was very happy that Zhang Fangyuan trusted him.

"Second sister said that Fei Lian wanted to open a school in the village, presumably they must prepare some money in advance."

Zhang Fangyuan became interested when he heard the words: "It's not easy for Fei Lian to go back to the village and build a village school because he is so self-confident. In our village, there is no teacher for a school, no doctor for a medical center. The children who can’t go to study they can’t read big characters, and when they are sick or injured, they have to go to the city to ask for a doctor, which is really hard. "

"Regardless of the relationship between our family and the Fei family, it’s a good thing that Fei Lian is willing to open a school, and it’s also a merit to lend them some money to set up the school."

Xu He nodded, and he thought so too

For example, he and his second sister had never read a book since they were young, and they couldn't read big characters. Unlike other villages, other villages had a private school and the people who mowed the grass could eavesdrop outside the window. Anyone who was motivated to seek knowledge and ambitious to improve oneself could read some characters, so how could they be like them.

For this reason, even though he didn't want to lend money to Xu Shaochun, he was still a little tempted to do something good for the whole village.

Zhang Fangyuan thought for a while and said: "But if you want to build a village school, when the villagers know about it, they will definitely take the initiative to help build the school. The money will only be spent to buy some books and for other miscellaneous expenses, so don't lend her too much, just give her a thousand copper coins."

Xu He responded.

Xu Shaochun was very happy to get the money, she didn't expect that the Zhang family to be so generous and give her a thousand copper coins at once, so the family didn't have to run around and borrow money from the uncle's house. While holding the money, she felt happy but also bitter.

Xu He sent her to the gate of the courtyard, she walked a few steps away, and then looked back at Xu He.

What the people in the village said was right, He ge’er became more attractive, with a slender and tall figure, ruddy complexion and radiance in his eyes. Zhang Fangyuan cherished him and he could live a good life. There were few people in the village who had a fate like him.

Thinking back when she was still a girl at home, how she looked down on this disgraced younger brother, and how she, who had always been strong in the past, would bow her head to He ge’er to borrow money. Life sometimes would go up and somethimes would go down, suddenly high and suddenly low, if the loess hadn’t buried the body, they wouldn’t really know who was good and who was not.

She looked away, if she married into this family back then, would she not in the same situation as she was now, or if she didn't covet scholars and chose an ordinary man with a gentle mother-in-law, would her life be easier? There was everything in this world, but unfortunately there was no if.

"Why did it take you so long to come back?"

As soon as Xu Shaochun arrived in the yard, Fei's mother, who was washing rice, complained, as if she was afraid that she would be lazy if she ran outside.

"Mother-in-law, this is to borrow money, how can it be so fast?”

Fei's mother snorted softly, but she didn't refute again, she asked: "But, did they lend you some money?"

Xu Shaochun took out the money, and Fei's mother breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the silver: "At any rate, the trip is not in vain, this family is really good in doing business. Now we can use the money to pay Lian'er's debts."

"Who did you borrow the money from?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, when suddenly there was a sharp voice, the two turned their heads subconsciously, and looked at Fei Lian who didn’t know since when he had been standing at the door.

Xu Shaochun was originally dissatisfied with Fei Lian who liked to save face in the city and invite people to eat outside. He owed money and had no choice but to come back and ask for money from the family. Since he had the face to borrow the money, she also didn’t feel ashamed to borrow money from her relatives to repay the debts for him.

She said directly: "Who else could I borrow the money from? Of course from my natal family."

"You borrowed money from Xu He?!" Fei Lian usually spoke in a gentle manner, and rarely spoke loudly, but now he suddenly shouted in a questioning tone, which not only scared Xu Shaochun, but also scared Fei's mother.

"My mother doesn't have any money left. He ge'er's husband's family is in business, and he has money. Who else could I borrow the money from?"

Xu Shaochun's original intention of saying this was to let the Fei family not look down on their Xu family, because there were people in the family who lived a good life and had money to lend them, but unexpectedly it made Fei Lian even more annoyed: "You can borrow money from anyone but you can’t borrow from their family. You have lost the face of the Fei family!"

Hearing such a reprimand, Xu Shaochun was angry and aggrieved: "You said it would make you lose face to borrow money from the bank, and now you think that borrowing money here also makes you lose face!"

Fei's mother saw the momentum was not good, so she quickly grabbed Xu Shaochun: "Speak less, that's all, that's all, let's eat fried pork tonight, you go to the field and pick some celery and come back."

Xu Shaochun's eyes were red with anger: "Mother in law, Why are you pretending to be a good person here? Didn’t you ask me to borrow money from He ge'er's family? Otherwise, would I shamelessly go to Zhang's house?"
