"You! Erhu, Erhu's wife, now that you're here, it's not that I don't want to save your father-in-law, but we're simply out of options. With the state of our household, where can we find such spare cash?" Caught talking behind someone's back was a highly embarrassing matter. Wei Family had wanted to argue back, but upon seeing Zhao Erhu and his wife entering, she had to change her tune, her expression becoming somewhat sheepish.
Zhao Erhu and his wife were not as easy to talk to as Zhao Dahuo; both were formidable. The Wei Family mother and son were somewhat wary of them. Even previously, when they had taken things from Zhao Erhu's home, it was not by confronting Zhao Erhu alone but by inciting Zhao Jingen to act. Now, they quieted down and stopped arguing with Zhao Dahuo. With Zhao Erhu and his wife present, they definitely couldn't take advantage.
