"Fifth, if you have any ideas, just say it directly!" said Mu Dazhong.
"That's right, we're all family here, no need to beat around the bush." Mrs. Lin urged.
"Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point! Let's go find Gao Tiezhu from Gao Village, our father borrowed fifty taels of silver from him.
If Gao Tiezhu finds out that our father would rather give the money to Xiangxiang than repay him, what do you think would happen?"
Mu Danian forced a smile, chuckling as he spoke.
"Are you stupid? Do you really think this will work? If Gao Tiezhu gets involved, the money won't be ours either."
"Besides, even though I don't want Xiangxiang to get so much dowry, her getting married is a good thing. If the Gao Family comes and causes a ruckus, can Xiangxiang's marriage still go through?"
"We wouldn't want her to be unable to marry and stay at our house, freeloading off us. None of you want a burden who doesn't work but eats a lot, right?"
Mu Dazhong said.
