Chapter 998: Chapter 998 Where Have I Gone Crazy?

"Mom, I’ve finally been waiting for you, Dad, are you here to bring money for Changfeng? That’s really great; I knew that you wouldn’t forget your daughter. You’ve brought money for Changfeng, Changfeng, Changfeng, come and thank your grandfather!"

She said through tears and then turned her head to look for the silhouette of her son, wanting to pull him over to join her in this act.

"What, what!"

Old Mr.Yang was stunned by his daughter’s words.

Bringing money? They clearly came to ask for money, how did it become bringing money? If they had money, would they even come here? They would have kicked this poor relative to the curb long ago!

"Dad, you don’t know how hard my life has been since marrying into the Lin Family. I have to start working before dawn and don’t stop until it’s dark, all to earn a bit more for Changfeng so he can study.

And look, he’s done us proud and became a winner of examination, but you have no idea, our money is spent, every last bit, and we’ve taken on a good deal of debt. My heart aches, daughter. Today I thought to borrow some money from the village to repay those debts.

I had no clue every family in the village was as poor as church mice and couldn’t scrape together anything. I’m at my wits’ end, not knowing where to find the travel expenses for Changfeng to go to the imperial city tomorrow, and then you and Mom show up."

While wiping her tears, Yang Lin reached out attempting to grasp Old Mr.Yang’s arm but was forcefully shaken off by him.

On the other hand, Old Madam Yang was also shocked upon hearing her words and hurried to push away this useless daughter, to avoid her, asking her for money—that was out of the question, she wouldn’t give a penny!

"What money, we have no money!"

"How can there be none?"

Seeing them attempting to evade her, Yang Lin, pregnant belly and all, took a step forward.

"Dad, Mom, I don’t need much, just a hundred or eight hundred taels will do. You can rest assured, once Changfeng makes something of himself, all this money will be paid back to you, truly."

"What? One hundred or eight hundred taels?"

Old Mr.Yang was so frightened by her words that he cried out in alarm.

If he had one hundred or eight hundred taels, he would have long since found a comfortable spot to spend his days; why bother coming here to his worthless daughter-in-law’s family?

"Lin, are you insane? Where would our family get that kind of money? Scram, get out of the way!"

"Insane? Me?"

Yang Lin dismissively curled her lip.

She quietly mused to herself, of course she was insane—if she wasn’t, her son would be driven into a corner by the people before her.

Her son or her natal family, which would she choose? That was a no-brainer.

"Dad, Changfeng is your own grandson, and he’s facing hardships. As a grandfather, shouldn’t you contribute? Look, he has now become a winner of examination, and with a bit more effort tomorrow, he’s sure to become a high-ranking official. Wouldn’t that reflect glory on you too?

Look at me, it’s just my luck that I’m pregnant again; otherwise, I could go out and earn some money. With one old and young at home, Baiyi is the only one able to hold his own, but these days, just how many people are looking to hire a carpenter like Baiyi?

Oh Dad, I just can’t get by. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be asking you for money, never! Right?"
