Chapter 1231: Chapter 1231: With Full Confidence

Sixty silver?

Gu Hengniang sure has some nerve, huh?

Asking for sixty silver right off the bat?

Ha!

Where does she get the nerve?

To just demand sixty silver like that?

Does she really think she’s entitled?

Forget sixty silver.

Su Yunjin wouldn’t give her six silver.

Her silver was earned through hard work, not blown in by the wind. Why should she hand it over to Gu Hengniang just because she demands it?

“Sister-in-law, what’s the matter? You’re not willing to give?” What’s with that expression on Su Yunjin’s face, like she’s refusing to give? That money belongs to her brother, Gu Ya.

After all, it’s the Gu Family’s money.

What right does Su Yunjin have?

She is Gu Ya’s elder sister. Ultimately, she and Gu Ya are blood related. Su Yunjin is just an outsider–what right does she have to manage her brother’s silver?

As his elder sister, if she wants to borrow his money, she’ll borrow it. What business is it of Su Yunjin’s? Humph, not just borrowing, if she wants to ask for it, Gu Ya should give it to her.

Now that her brother’s family is well off, she can’t just watch her own sister struggle without helping a bit, right? Besides, she’s borrowing the money to buy a birthday gift for her husband. As a brother, shouldn’t Gu Ya buy his brother-in-law a gift to celebrate his birthday?

Naturally, Gu Hengniang didn’t feel there was anything wrong with expecting Su Yunjin and her husband to lend her the money. In fact, it’s called a loan.

Gu Hengniang had never planned to repay it anyway. Gu Ya and his wife are so wealthy now, what with their fish ponds and opening stores. She heard they’re about to launch Zuixiang Restaurant again, on the busiest street in town. Gu Hengniang had sneaked a peek once; such a big shopfront couldn’t be bought for less than a few thousand silver, right?

To Gu Ya and his wife, sixty silver is just a drop in the bucket. It doesn’t matter if it’s not repaid. Gu Hengniang audaciously demanded money, which almost amused Su Yunjin.

She’s seen people with thick faces.

But never someone so shameless.

“Elder sister, if you came here today looking to borrow money, then let me tell you now, you won’t get any!” Su Yunjin bluntly refused Gu Hengniang’s demand.

When dealing with shameless people like Gu Hengniang, Su Yunjin wouldn’t show any mercy, let alone lend money. Sixty silver is no small sum.

It could buy a small shop.

Gu Hengniang had the audacity to ask for sixty silver right off the bat, thinking Su Yunjin was a fool? Su Yunjin said no, and Gu Hengniang instantly exploded like a shrew.

Hands on hips, spitting while she spoke, her voice rose several notches. “None? Who are you trying to fool, Su Yunjin? You and my brother are so wealthy now, you don’t have sixty silver? You think I’m a three-year-old that’s easy to deceive?”

This shameless Su Yunjin.

She had the nerve to tell her she has no money?

Gu Hengniang was furious.

Su Yunjin’s face remained expressionless.

“I don’t have it,” she said. She earns money for herself, not for shameless people like Gu Hengniang. Even if she had more money, it belonged to her–why should she give it to someone like Gu Hengniang? Besides, Gu Hengniang had even schemed to have Gu Ya take concubines or to divorce her.

Was she kicked in the head by a mule?

She would never give her silver to Gu Hengniang.

Su Yunjin repeated her refusal.

Gu Hengniang, embarrassed and angry, shouted, “Su Yunjin, don’t you go too far! The money my brother earns, I can borrow whenever I want–what gives you the right to withhold it from me?”
