But right after dinner, Zhou Yunmei sneaked into Hong Lan's room to ask Luo Honglan and found out that it cost over 500 yuan. Knowing that her family had to pay half, which was nearly 300 yuan, she was so shocked she could hardly stand.
So naturally, she was unwilling to pay the money. When she returned to her room and Luo Dashan brought up the matter, her tone changed.
Luo Dashan himself was also startled to hear that it cost so much money, but he felt that the more they had to spend, the more their family should help share the burden. Otherwise, if it was only up to the second brother's family, who knew when they would be able to pay it back.
Luo Dashan's intention was that even if they couldn't pay in full, they should at least share half of the burden, which was over 200 yuan. Zhou Yunmei, who would fret over a mere two yuan as if it were her lifeblood, certainly wouldn't agree and flatly refused to pay.
