Chapter 94: Borrow Money from the Entire Village to Do Business
```
When Qin Jinlian learned that her eldest daughter-in-law had gone to the city and hadn’t borrowed a single cent, she cursed in anger, "What a blockhead, if she didn’t lend you the money, couldn’t you just cling there and not leave? To think you came back empty-handed..."
Du Juan let it go in one ear and out the other. After Qin Jinlian finished, she finally spoke up.
"Mom, I still want to borrow money from you. Ten or twenty yuan would be okay. Do you have any to spare?"
"Where would I have money? I spent it all on Lizhen’s gold necklace."
Du Juan then looked toward Yang Lizhen, who, without waiting for her to speak, blocked her words with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"Eldest sister, don’t come to me for a loan. I’m flat broke too. My mom’s asking me to scrape together money for a watch for my brother’s girlfriend, and I can’t even come up with that."
Hearing this, Du Juan didn’t say anything more and walked away, dejected.
As she left, Qin Jinlian muttered under her breath about Shen Mingzhu, "That wretched girl, clutching her money so tightly, miserly to death..."
Yang Lizhen, uninvolved, continued to crack sunflower seeds.
