Chapter 384 Borrowing Money
Lu Youren raised his voice and said, "I asked where you went?"

As soon as he came back, he heard from Fanghua that the steward of Longyu Bank had come and brought a gang of thugs, and Xiao Ning dismissed them in a few words. How strange that was, when did the steward Qian come to ask for debts? Easy to pass?Not everyone has to say a lot of good things before they are willing to leave.Why did Xiao Ning dismiss people with a few words?Could it be that this child didn't know how deep he was, so he promised something indiscriminately!Lu Youren was very impatient. He was so worried about raising money these days that his mouth was full of tears.

Lu Xiaojing looked at her father quietly, feeling chills every inch of her heart. When she went out, she told her grandmother that she had gone to borrow money, and her father hadn't visited her grandmother since he came back, otherwise it would be impossible for him to ask her where she went. Isn't the father the most filial?Why don't you visit your sick mother first when you go home?

"I'm asking you something." Lu Youren's attitude became more and more bad, and Xiao Ning's expression was very similar to Ji Shi's fighting spirit with him back then.

"Borrow money." Lu Xiaoning said two words coolly.

Lu Youren was startled.

"Don't father know? The accountant is almost out of money, and only 300 taels of silver are left. The monthly profit of the servants has to be paid, and more than half of the servants in the mansion have not signed the death contract. Those who want to leave, grandma is sick, it costs money to see a doctor and take medicine, mother is crazy, and treatment costs money, Cheng Si has to go back to the academy, living expenses for pens, inks, papers and inkstones also cost money, this big family needs to eat. I need money, my father is busy with business all day long, and in his spare time, he has to worry about whether the second sister can enter the Qin Palace as a concubine, regardless of whether the family has money to buy rice tomorrow, and the daughter does not borrow money. Are you hungry?" Lu Xiaoning said coldly.

If Lu Xiaoning said something, Lu Youren's guilt would be a little more, but the irony in Xiaoning's words was too obvious, which made him unable to step down. Is Xiaoning blaming him for being too incompetent as a father?

Shame mixed with shame, Lu Youren said irritably, "Didn't Lou's family come here again today? Why didn't you just let them take your mother away?"

Lu Xiaoning sneered from the bottom of his heart: "Father, there are conditions for the Lou family to take away their mother. Our Lu family has to pay for the medical expenses and living expenses. If the mother is in their hands, then they will let them open their mouths and ask for whatever they want. If we don't give it, they will come and go every now and then." Let the crazy mother come to our Lu family to make a fuss, does father think this looks good?"

Lu Youren was at a loss for words, he really couldn't let Lou's family take Lou away, it's better to stay at home and worry about it.

This topic was dead, Lu Youren changed the subject: "The money manager came today, how did you spend it?"

"It's nothing, just say that asking for money is not a life-threatening thing. If I want to take over the house, I will burn the house down first." Lu Xiaoning said.

Lu Youren was at a loss for words again, is it that simple?This rogue move also works?
"What did the money manager say?"

"He said that it would take a while longer, but he didn't say how long."

Lu Youren breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to have a few days' grace.

"You went out all afternoon, did you borrow any money?" Lu Youren asked again, his face burned into a panic when he asked this question, he also thought about borrowing money, but every time the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them, he was really scared When he was a child, his mother took him everywhere to borrow money, and he was looked down upon by others.After marrying the Ji family and gaining fame, he swore that he would never borrow money again in this life.As a result, Lou's tormented a good family to such an extent that they had to borrow money to survive.

"I borrowed it. It's all from my best friend. I scraped it together and scraped together 5000 taels. It's enough to save some money. It's enough to spend for several months." Lu Xiaoning said, she had to post the money herself.

Lu Youren was also very embarrassed when he thought of Xiao Ning running around to borrow money. He had a bad attitude just now, but guilt finally got the upper hand, and he softened his tone and said: "It's embarrassing for you, this money, I will find a way for my father Pay it back as soon as possible.”

"If father has nothing else to do, daughter will go to have dinner first. She has been running all afternoon and is hungry." Lu Xiaoning said calmly.

Lu Youren opened his mouth, originally there was something he wanted to discuss with Xiao Ning in advance, but after thinking about it, it's better to wait until it's settled, and said: "You go first."

Coming out of the study room, the evening wind was still blowing hot, stuffy, but Lu Xiaoning's heart was cold. Before, his father trusted her and relied heavily on her. However, after Lu Fanghua changed his strategy and flattered his father, Father began to change.

In fact, before entering the study, she still wanted to persuade her father not to go to Prince Qin's mansion.Now, she doesn't want to say a word, whether she loves to go or not, Lu Fanghua is willing to be a concubine, it's none of her business, her father wants to humiliate himself, it's none of her business.Why should she do such a thankless thing?

"Master is really too much. The attitude and tone just now, it seems that you have done some bad things, miss." Seeing the gloomy expression of the lady, Du Ruo defended the injustice for the lady.

Is the master blind?First, she found such an unbearable Mrs. Lou, and made the young lady's mother mad because of Mrs. Lou, but now she only knows how to pamper that shameless second young lady and neglect such a good young lady.The master is not only blind, but also blind.

"Whatever he thinks." Lu Xiaoning said indifferently, she just wanted to let the people she cared about have a fixed place to live, food to eat when hungry, clothes to wear when cold, and medicine to treat illnesses.Anyway, she never really enjoyed her father's love since she was born, and she got used to it.

When Lu Xiaoning went to the Charity Hall, Lu Chengsi was also there, the food on the table hadn't been moved, and his grandmother hadn't eaten yet, she was waiting for her.

Lu Xiaoning's cold heart rose a few degrees, and he forced a smile and said, "Hurry up and eat, I'm starving."

Mama Liu hurriedly said to the maids: "Did you hear that? Let's serve dinner."

Taking advantage of the cooking time, Lu Xiaoning went into the room to see his grandmother.

"grandmother……"

"Xiao Ning, you go to eat first. It's time to grow your body, so you can't be hungry." The old lady had heard what Lu Xiaoning said just now, and her heart ached. Xiao Ning went to borrow money in the afternoon, but she Now I don't care whether Xiao Ning can borrow money, the important thing is to let Xiao Ning fill his stomach first.

"Grandmother, it's not too late. Granddaughter will let you know that I have borrowed money, which is enough for our family's food and clothing for several months." Lu Xiaoning said.

The old lady stretched out her hand to Lu Xiaoning, and Lu Xiaoning held her grandmother's hand.

"Son, it's hard for you. Grandma is useless, and she hasn't saved much self-confidence these years. Otherwise, Lou's family will be wiped out." The old lady said sadly.

"Grandmother, money is something external to you. If you don't have it, you can earn it. It's more difficult now. By the end of the year, the income of the farm will be collected, and the rent of the shop will be paid next year. You, don't worry about money. Things are worrying." Lu Xiaoning comforted.

"Yeah, it's good to get through now, Xiao Ning, it's lucky to have you." The old lady said happily.

It had been many years since she had experienced the days when she had to worry about tomorrow's rice grains. She came from a bitter background, and she was really afraid of the days when she had eaten the last meal and didn't know where the next meal would be.
