Chapter 494: Meeting the Scorpion Demon

```

Therefore, a family's finances should never be lightly entrusted to a woman's management.

Unless that woman is very steady and frugal, with considerable wisdom; otherwise, if they act on impulse and support their natal family, they become that legendary "brother-supporting demon".

Or they might be deceived by someone, fall into a trap, and for the family, it truly becomes a disaster.

After Li Shuixiang paid the ransom and redeemed her husband, she initially kept it a secret from Xu Zhenchang and didn't mention the high-interest loan she had taken to save him.

It was not until after the New Year, when the creditor came to collect the first month's interest, that Xu Zhenchang learned of his wife's foolish act.

But by then, it was already too late for regrets.

Even if he had known about the high-interest loan the moment he was redeemed, it would likely have been too late.
