Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Dashan completely didn't expect that his mother would actually be so straightforward and decisive in helping him refuse Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin's request to borrow money.

One can only say, with borrowing money this kind of thing, only people who don't know how to refuse would feel embarrassed.

And people who know how to refuse, they all refuse without a second thought.

On this point, Wang Dashan is very obviously not a match for his mother Li Xiulan.

Li Xiulan purely just couldn't bear to part with it; 150,000 such a large sum of money, she herself has never asked Wang Dashan for it, so how could she possibly agree to let Wang Dashan lend it out?

"Is that so? Dashan, why don't you go talk to your wife?" Li Zhenxing's gaze passed over Li Xiulan, looking directly at Wang Dashan.

Because he knew, talking to Li Xiulan was pointless.

This kid Wang Dashan is kind-hearted, and has a lot of money; maybe if he begged a bit, he really would soften up.

Luo Jiaxin also hurriedly said:

"Dashan, just help us out, if we can't scrape together this 150,000, something big will happen."

Wang Dashan's brows slightly furrowed:

"Uncle Zhenxing, Aunt Jiaxin, what exactly happened? Why do you suddenly need this much money?"

Li Zhenxing however found it hard to speak; he couldn't very well say he owed a buttload of debts outside; if he said that, wouldn't that mean telling Wang Dashan that the money borrowed now would never be repaid? Would Wang Dashan still be willing to lend then?

Luo Jiaxin also couldn't think of a good excuse for a moment.

And Li Xiulan didn't wait for them to speak, but hurriedly said again:

"Every family has a hard scripture to recite, I understand your difficulties, but Dashan has difficulties too; if he lends you 150,000, then he'll have something big happen; why don't you go borrow from Wang Yaohua? Wang Yaohua is going to marry your daughter; I believe as long as you ask, he'll have no reason to refuse."

"My mom's right; why don't you go borrow from my cousin instead."

Wang Dashan's tone was polite, perfunctorily saying.

This attitude of his, not forceful in the slightest.

So Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, fundamentally wouldn't give up.

Li Zhenxing said with a worried frown:

"But if we let Wang Yaohua know we need this 150,000, will he still marry Yun Cui? Dashan, why don't you go talk to your wife..."

Luo Jiaxin also hurriedly said:

"Dashan, consider us begging you."

Wang Dashan's face full of embarrassment:

"Why exactly do you need 150,000?"

Li Zhenxing still found it hard to speak, but things having come to this, he felt perhaps only coming clean would give a sliver of hope:

"Because if I can't scrape together this sum again, I'm finished!"

"That serious?" Wang Dashan surprised.

"Isn't it!" Li Zhenxing slapped his thigh, preparing to spill the beans about his usury loans, but at this moment Luo Jiaxin suddenly had a brainwave, finding a different excuse:

"It's just that serious; my husband, he has late-stage cancer, must have 150,000 for medical fees!"

Luo Jiaxin saying this, Li Zhenxing was also full of surprise.

Li Zhenxing thought in his heart, when did I get late-stage cancer?

Luo Jiaxin however ignored his gaze, continuing to say:

"Dashan, Xiulan, this matter you mustn't tell Wang Yaohua and his parents; otherwise they'll dislike my husband having cancer, and maybe won't marry Yun Cui; Yun Cui is innocent."

"Late-stage cancer huh..." Li Xiulan also full of surprise, "Got what cancer?"

Luo Jiaxin hurriedly said:

"Liver cancer; on the surface can't tell, but actually, the doctor said, if not treated, won't live past half a year."

Li Xiulan looked at Li Zhenxing, her eyes involuntarily revealing a trace of sympathy.

Li Zhenxing somewhat guilty, softly and politely pleaded:

"Xiulan, I know you're kind-hearted; just let your Dashan lend me a bit; your Dashan made it big, 150,000 to him isn't that much either."

Wang Dashan somewhat softened.

"Alright then, Uncle Zhenxing, since it's life-saving money, lending it to you isn't impossible."

Li Xiulan however abruptly came back to her senses, hurriedly withdrawing the sympathetic look:

"Dashan, this matter you can't decide on your own; you still go discuss with Xiao Juan!"

Wang Dashan unwilling:

"Mom, why does everything have to be discussed with Du Xiaojuan; I'm not a kid anymore!"

Li Xiulan hurriedly said:

"No way; you and Xiao Juan are husband and wife; such a large sum of money, must discuss with her; you going or not? If you don't go I'll go tell her!"

Wang Dashan didn't want to go communicate with Du Xiaojuan, because he knew, once he spoke Du Xiaojuan definitely wouldn't agree.

But he also couldn't stop his mother, so he coldly said:

"Then you go tell her; whatever I say she'll oppose!"

Li Xiulan then said:

"Then you stay here; wait for Xiao Juan to come, then decide!"

Then Li Xiulan hurriedly ran into the Banquet Hall to look for Du Xiaojuan.

Before long, she found Du Xiaojuan at a table in the corner:

"Xiao Juan, hurry and go persuade Dashan, Dashan's about to do something stupid again!"

Li Xiulan's face was full of anxiety.

Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but be stunned:

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Li Xiulan then said:

"Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin want to borrow 150,000 from Dashan, saying they got cancer and need treatment. Dashan's soft-hearted, so he wants to lend them the money. 150,000 — that's no small sum."

Actually, for Du Xiaojuan, 150,000 really was a small sum.

But it's not like you can just lend it out casually just because it's a small sum.

As for Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, to tell the truth, Wang Dashan had never mentioned these two people to Du Xiaojuan — they were obviously not close acquaintances. Why should they lend money just because some not-close people ask?

If they lend to people with that kind of relationship, then afterward there'll be an endless stream of people coming to find them to borrow money. When that time comes, how would that be manageable?

"Mom, I'll go over and talk to Wang Dashan right now!"

Du Xiaojuan handed the child to Li Xiulan:

"You watch the child here."

Then she stood up and went to the banquet entrance to find Wang Dashan.

She came over here, saw Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, and didn't immediately open her mouth to refuse.

Instead she said to Wang Dashan:

"Husband, this month's two million loan hasn't been repaid yet — can you ask your friends to help turn it over?"

Wang Dashan's face was blank with bewilderment — where did a two million loan come from?

He was just about to open his mouth when Du Xiaojuan said again:

"Fine, you don't need to say anything. I know you're in a tight spot. I'll figure something out myself."

Then she looked at Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin:

"Uncle, Auntie, what did you come looking for my husband for?"

Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin dry-laughed, and for a moment neither knew how to open their mouths.

It was Wang Dashan instead who felt Du Xiaojuan using such clumsy acting to refuse Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin was too cold-blooded and heartless. After all, they had cancer — and late-stage at that. They were borrowing life-saving money. He had the ability, so he actually could help a little.

"Uncle Zhenxing got liver cancer, and it's late-stage. He needs money for procedures. He came to seek help from us."

Wang Dashan spoke like this.

Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin smiled bitterly, nodding repeatedly:

"Right, right. Xiao Juan, for the sake of us being fellow villagers with your husband, can't you help out?"

Du Xiaojuan glanced at Li Zhenxing — he didn't look like a late-stage liver cancer patient at all.

She'd seen late-stage liver cancer patients before.

So she said:

"Is that so? Then we really should help. Even lending money we should help. After all, you're fellow villagers with my husband. But can you take out the inspection reports for me to look at?"
