Chapter 93 Borrowing Money

Translator: 549690339

"We don't have any money, where would we get money? Your thoughtless younger sister, the last time she came to the city, didn't even give me the travel expenses when she left. Raised her for nothing..."

Qin Jinlian was unwilling to lend money, which was expected by the couple, but they still harbored a glimmer of hope.

"Mom, this isn't just borrowing money for nothing, we'll write an IOU, with interest, and guarantee to pay it back within a year, principal and interest included."

No matter how much the couple pleaded, Qin Jinlian stubbornly refused to lend money. Instead, right before they left, she even urged the couple to go to the city to find Shen Mingzhu.

Qin Jinlian's refusal to lend money to the eldest son, Shen Jianguo, left him with nothing to say at the time, but he complained bitterly once they returned to their east room.
