Chapter 116 Sister-in-law, you asked me to lend you money for your brother's wedding? You've probably been scammed! (2/2)

"Well, I had nothing better to do, so I just tidied up these clothes. Sister-in-law, weren't you working in the fields? How come you have time to come back?" Fu Yunsheng looked at Chen Honghong with a smile.

Chen Honghong explained, "My younger brother came to visit me, so I came back to entertain him."

"Oh, someone just called your name at the house," Fu Yunsheng said. "Sister-in-law, why didn't you go and entertain your brother? Is there something you need from me?"

Chen Honghong asked somewhat awkwardly, "Yun Sheng, aren't we good sisters-in-law?"

Fu Yunsheng laughed and said, "Of course, what's wrong?"

In fact, Fu Yunsheng had already guessed what she was going to do.

He just wanted to borrow money from her.

However, she pretended not to know.

Chen Honghong's eyes immediately turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Yun Sheng, you must help me! My younger brother is not young anymore. Yesterday, he went on a blind date with a girl from the city. They both liked each other, but the girl's parents asked for a very high dowry, 500 yuan."

"But as you know, our family has been farmers for generations. We don't have that much money. We simply can't raise that much money."

"Even after borrowing from all my relatives, I could only scrape together 200 yuan, still short 300 yuan."

"So, Yun Sheng, since you're so rich, could you lend me 300 yuan to help my brother get married? He really likes this girl."

"Don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as I have the money."

After Chen Honghong finished speaking, tears of grievance and frustration streamed down her face.

It was as if she had truly suffered a tremendous injustice.

Fu Yunsheng couldn't help but laugh inwardly when she heard Chen Honghong's words.

It's really ridiculous that Chen Honghong would come up with such a lame excuse just to borrow money from me.

They still need to borrow 300.

You should know that in those days, 5 yuan was enough for a family of three to eat for half a month.

result.

She immediately asked to borrow 300 yuan.

Upon thinking of this, Fu Yunsheng said, "Sister-in-law, which family's daughter is it that demands so much betrothal money? 500 yuan? Why don't they just rob us?"

"After all, nowadays, a gift of 30 to 50 yuan is usually enough."

"Even 100 yuan is extremely rare."

"And then they actually dared to ask for 500 yuan? Are you sure you haven't been scammed?"

Chen Honghong trembled slightly and quickly explained, "Yun Sheng, the girl my brother went on a blind date with has a job, comes from a well-off family, and is an only child. That's why their family's requirements are so demanding. We didn't agree to it at first, but my brother really likes that girl, and she also likes him quite a bit."

"That's why we can't bear to separate this loving couple."

“But we’ve borrowed from all our relatives, and we’ve only managed to get 200 yuan. We’re still short 300 yuan. Yun Sheng, I really have no other choice. Only you can help me.”

"Please, please help me."

"Now that a girl likes my brother has finally appeared, I will do everything I can to make my brother marry her so that my parents can have a big, healthy grandson as soon as possible."

Chen Honghong pleaded with Fu Yunsheng so earnestly that she herself believed the lie.

Tears were unstoppable.

Fu Yunsheng chuckled inwardly, but continued aloud, "Sister-in-law, are you sure your brother really went on a blind date? Or is he lying to you?"

“If your family really needed money, your parents should have come to you in person. Why would they send your brother? Besides, this is not a small amount; it's 300 yuan.”

"And I heard from Mom that your brother seems to... seems to like gambling. Could it be that he's lost a ton of debt and is making up this lie to deceive you?"
