Chapter 1842: Close Brothers Helping Each Other Is Only Right; How Could We Ask for Interest?

Hao Yanhong, fearing everyone might still act as before, quickly spoke up: "Now that Yanwei and I have stable jobs, we can definitely repay the loan, and we can even write an IOU with interest calculated at the bank rate."

Guo Wenjing and Liu Chuxue exchanged a glance, understanding that this time they did not intend to take advantage.

Everyone present understood that the two thousand six hundred they had on hand came from two sources: one thousand yuan divided during the family split, and the remainder of the Fu family patriarch's estate after his passing, which Fu the Eldest and Fu's father had discussed and directly distributed to the younger generation.

The rest was what the couple had saved over the past two years, and they had indeed felt their change; they were truly living a steady life.

Fu Yanming and Fu Yan Cheng, the two brothers, first exchanged a glance before looking at their respective wives.

Guo Wenjing and Liu Chuxue also nodded slightly, indicating they had no objections.

The Fu parents watched every move they made, and a sense of gratification welled up in their hearts.

Fu Yanming, as the eldest brother, spoke up: "Buying a house and establishing a home is a good thing; we agree to this matter."

"Previously, the fourth sister-in-law mentioned that if we had money in the coming years, buying suitable properties would not only preserve value but also appreciate later. I didn't expect you two to be the first to take those words to heart."

Fu Yan Cheng also said: "Indeed, my second brother and second sister-in-law have shown a steady approach to life these past two years. Liu Chuxue and I have seen it. Just like my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law, we agree to this."

At this moment, Ren Jiangfeng also spoke up: "Second brother, Yanwan and I have some spare money and can lend you some for immediate use."

Fu's father and mother were naturally most pleased to see the brothers being friendly and the siblings loving one another. Except for the troublesome third son, they now felt at ease with the other families.

Fu Yanwei and his wife were deeply grateful. Fu Yanwei, just like Hao Yanhong, declared: "Rest assured, we were previously useless and never satisfied with taking advantage, but that will not happen again."

Fu's father took over the conversation: "Let's not talk about the past. From now on, you two living a good life is better than anything else."

"There is no need to tell the third brother about this matter. His own life is currently a mess, so he probably cannot help anyway. Your mother and I still have some money; we will contribute a portion, and the rest you three families can discuss among yourselves."

Saying this, he looked at Fu Yanwei and his wife: "However, let's be clear from the start: this money from your mother and me is also a loan to you, so do not deny it when the time comes."

Fu Yanwei and Hao Yanhong quickly declared: "Father, rest assured, we will write an IOU just the same, calculate interest the same way, and guarantee repayment as soon as we have the money."

Fu's father raised his hand and said: "The principal must be repaid, but the interest is unnecessary. Your mother and I only hope that each of your families lives well."

Others also chimed in: "Yes, it is only right for close brothers to help each other; how could we ask for interest?"

Fu Yanwei and his wife had two thousand six hundred yuan on hand. The house cost eight thousand five hundred, leaving a shortfall of five thousand nine hundred. They thought about needing to live and raise children, so they needed to keep some reserves.

Fu's father spoke first: "Your mother and I can gather two thousand six hundred. You discuss the rest and act according to your means, after all, you also need to live."

Originally, according to Fu Yanming's intention, he and Fu Yan Cheng should contribute more, while his younger sister Fu Yanwan should contribute less, fearing her husband might object. After all, this was not a small sum, and it could not be repaid in a short time.

However, Ren Jiangfeng, the brother-in-law, glanced at his wife and declared directly: "Yanwan and I will contribute one thousand."

With that settled, Fu Yanming looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "Then for the remainder, let's split it equally between our two families."

Liu Chuxue accidentally noticed the eldest sister-in-law frowning slightly. She did not think it was because the eldest sister-in-law was unwilling to lend; rather, she feared they too must have expenses to cover.

Dear readers, I checked the house prices, found them a bit low, and adjusted them to eight thousand five hundred yuan.
