Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Truly Unreasonable

"Uncle, no matter how much you can lend us, our whole family is grateful for your kindness. Thank you, Uncle!"

Shen Nian would never be stingy when it came to rewarding those who were genuinely good to her family—people like her uncle, Miao Changquan.

But as for those who only wanted to see her family humiliated and completely disregarded family ties, Shen Nian would never let them take advantage!

Shen Nian had already considered that if their family farm became successful, those shameless relatives would likely come knocking, one after another.

It was Shen Jian Country’s idea of borrowing money that gave Shen Nian the inspiration.

At a time like this, anyone willing to lend them money must be someone who genuinely wished them well.

So, Shen Nian decided to play along and use the situation to her advantage, ensuring that those with ill intentions wouldn’t be able to freeload off them later, even if they wanted to!

’They wouldn’t even be able to play the family card to take advantage of us. After all, we’re all relatives, aren’t we? So why can they get benefits while you can’t? You should know the answer to that yourselves!’

’Even if someone shamelessly came to cause a scene later, I could find people to argue right back at them!’

’After all, we’re getting these benefits because we contributed back then. What right do you people, who contributed nothing, have to come here and make a fuss!’

As she thought about this, Shen Nian could almost see the scene: Guo Chunxiang and her family coming to cause trouble, only to leave in dejected defeat.

While Shen Nian was lost in these thoughts, Lu Cheng, sitting beside her, watched his wife’s eloquent performance with immense pride swelling in his heart.

Of course, he could have saved the Shen family from having to stoop to borrowing money, but after hearing Shen Nian speak, Lu Cheng understood her intentions. Since this was her plan, he certainly wasn’t going to get in her way.

Besides, even Lu Cheng had to admit that Shen Nian’s idea was truly excellent.

"I’m telling you, little brother! You should save that little bit of money you have to find yourself a wife! Aren’t you afraid you’ll just be throwing it away by lending it to them?"

Guo Chunxiang had wanted to watch the Shen family shamelessly beg for money only to come up empty-handed. She never expected her little brother, Miao Changquan, to ruin her fun.

’That dirt-poor brother of mine! He’s already so broke, yet here he is, acting like some kind of saint and lending money to the Shen family! Besides, what good is that tiny amount of money?! And the Shen family is just as shameless, having the nerve to accept such a paltry sum!’

"I... I’m not in a hurry to get married. The money’s just sitting around right now anyway, so it’s better to let my brother-in-law’s family use it first."

Miao Changquan was in his thirties. After being widowed at a young age, he had never remarried.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to remarry, but rather that no one was willing to marry him.

For one, Miao Changquan didn’t have a proper job. For another, he had broken his leg years ago and hadn’t received proper treatment, so now he walked with a slight limp.

The women introduced to Miao Changquan would take one look, see a cripple without a steady job, and want no part in a marriage that promised only hardship.

Over time, Miao Changquan had lost hope in the matter of finding a wife. After all, the higher the hope, the more crushing the final disappointment.

"’Use it first?’ Heh. Don’t be surprised when they ’use’ it and it’s all gone! Little brother, when your money is gone for good, don’t say I didn’t warn you!"

Even now, Guo Chunxiang was still trying to persuade Miao Changquan to change his mind about lending the money. The amount was one thing, but what she really wanted was to cause trouble for the Shen family.

However, no matter how much Guo Chunxiang warned him, Miao Changquan showed no signs of changing his mind.

"Thank you for your reminder, Sister. I’ve made up my mind."

"You’re impossible!"

Guo Chunxiang couldn’t believe that after all her persuasion, Miao Changquan still insisted on lending money to the Shen family. She sat down in a huff.

However, this was not what infuriated Guo Chunxiang the most.
