Chapter 103 - 097 Good Daughter-in-law
Tian Qiusheng felt deeply embarrassed, rubbing his hands together nervously, "This is really too embarrassing, how about you just lend me two hundred yuan? I can make do with a little less for the preparations."
Tian Qiusheng had no doubt about Tian Manmu saying that he only had two hundred yuan in savings, which was already fortunate since Tian Manmu had a salary, and his eldest son was also earning a salary in the army. Otherwise, even saving that two hundred yuan would be impossible.
"How could that be okay? Brother Qiu Sheng getting married is such a rare joyous occasion, how can we make it simple? Wait for me for a while, I’ll be right back."
After saying this, Tian Manmu went to Tian Bajin’s room, and after a short while, Tian Bajin followed as well. Seeing Tian Qiusheng, he laughed heartily and said "Congratulations".
Tian Bajin took out one hundred and fifty yuan, and together with Tian Manmu’s two hundred yuan, they rounded up a total of three hundred and fifty yuan. Tian Qiusheng kept expressing his gratitude, "This is too much; three hundred yuan is definitely enough."
"It’s fine, take a bit more. Ping Gui’s wedding is indeed a big celebration, we should make it more lively for Ping Gui. It’s okay to return the money later; our family doesn’t have any major expenses to deal with in the next couple of years, you can rest assured to use it."
Tian Bajin spoke very candidly, mainly because Tian Qiusheng and his wife were both honest people, who definitely wouldn’t fail to repay the money. If it were someone like Zhong Liangcai or Gao Yuzhu with that kind of bad behavior, he wouldn’t lend them even one cent.
Tian Qiusheng thought about it and didn’t stand on ceremony. Actually, this marriage wasn’t supposed to cost so much; it was mainly the bride price which was two hundred yuan in cash that startled him and his wife when they first heard about it.
