Chapter 259: Unease

Chen Family.

"You're back so soon?"

Upon seeing Chen Qi just push the door open, Lady Chen, who was sewing clothes, immediately put down her needlework and asked, "Did you manage to borrow any?"

The idea to borrow grain from Wang Chen came from her, but being a woman of the household, it was inappropriate for her to make the request in person, so she had to coerce her husband to go to Wang Chen's house for help.

Lady Chen was all too aware of Chen Qi's prideful nature, often too concerned with face to admit hardship.

Asking him to borrow grain was indeed hard on him.

"I got it."

Chen Qi placed the Storage Bag he was holding onto the table and sat down dejectedly.

He felt useless, unable to support his own wife and children, having to borrow grain from others, unworthy of being a real man!

Lady Chen's eyes lit up: "How much did you borrow?"

Chen Qi shook his head in confusion, "I, I don't know."

He truly didn't know.

"You, oh you!"
