Old Mrs. Mu's oblivious words made Old Mrs. Jin's face change slightly.
But she still smiled and shook her head at Old Mrs. Mu: "Dear sister, I'm really sorry.
I just went to the backyard to check how much silver our family has left. Turns out, there's nothing left, and I just remembered, last time Da De went to the Capital, we spent fifty silver taels.
Now, our Jin family is going through a difficult time, I'm afraid we can't come up with these two silver taels."
"What? Can't come up with it? Dear mother-in-law, you're not joking, right? Your husband is a teacher in town and collects quite a bit of gifts every year. Just two measly silver taels and you can't come up with it?" Old Mrs. Mu exclaimed.
After finishing, Old Mrs. Mu kept looking back and forth at Old Mrs. Jin's face.
The woman in front of her was adorned with gold and silver, yet claimed she didn't have two silver taels—who would believe such words?
