Chapitre 77: Chapter 78: Fear of Trouble Often Causes Trouble

"Brother, we're making quite a lot of money selling these vegetables," Tang Zhinian knew exactly how much money they had at home, both brothers did.

"Bro, you know the saying- it's not the theft that scares me, it's the possibility. We invite our fellow villagers to help out of goodwill, but if it gets around that our family is making a lot of money, won't that stir up trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhinian broke into a cold sweat. It made sense- village gossip spreads like wildfire. When everyone's poor, it's no big deal; nobody can mock anyone. But what if their family suddenly had a lot of money? What would they do if people started asking for loans? If they refuse, they lose face. If they lend, and then can't help everyone who asks, they won't be seen in a good light either.
