Chapter 169 - 85 He Still Cares About Face_2
"Hmm! I knew my eldest sister is such a virtuous woman!" Shi Fengju chuckled in praise, then smiled and said, "Our Qingzhou is not like Meng County, the merchants usually do not offer credit, you know this too. If one day your husband wants to go shopping, have someone let me know and I will accompany him. I almost know all the big and small merchants here in Qingzhou City, and they might give us a discount then!"
"Yes, that’s true!" Shi Yumei nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and laughed, "Second brother, you are really good to our eldest sister!"
"Don’t say like that, we are close relatives after all!" Shi Fengju smiled. In his heart, he thought if this scoundrel goes out and runs up debts, not only is it a bad habit that shouldn’t be encouraged, but it would also utterly disgrace the Shi family!
After sitting for a while longer, Shi Fengju stood up, ready to leave to take care of business and instruct someone to handle this mess. Mrs. Wang asked him to stay for breakfast, but he had no appetite and shook his head, saying he had a prior arrangement to eat out.
"Second brother!" Just as he was stepping down, he saw Shi Yumei catching up quickly, hesitated for a moment and then said with a forced smile, "Second brother, about my brother-in-law’s debts, could you, um, perhaps not tell anyone else... and could you personally go to Meng County to settle them..."
Shi Fengju was stunned.
Shi Yumei, lowering her head and looking quite embarrassed, said, "After all, he is a scholar... if the servants knew about this, it would be quite embarrassing..."
He still cares about his reputation! Yet, he does such things while worrying about his face!
