Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256
“Yes, Carson. Your company should have earned a lot after those few years, right? Eliza is your only sister, so you should at least offer something for her marriage.”
“I knew Lily was all for justice!” My mother-in-law nearly started jumping up and down with excitement.
My sister-in-law laughed through her tears as my father-in-law looked at Carson. They were all waiting for his answer.
Carson, who was placed under our scrutiny, explained impatiently, “I don’t have any money. I could barely scalp fifty thousand, not to mention a few million.”
“Lily, look at Carson’s attitude!” Eliza expected me to say something.
“Carson, what happened? Didn’t you say business went well? How could you not even cash out fifty grand?” I acted surprised.
“Yes! How can a company as big as yours have no money?” Carson’s mother insisted,
“Business hasn’t been good recently, so I’ve invested most of my money in orders. I don’t have much left,” explained Carson.
“What should we do? What about my marriage?” Eliza began to sob.
“How can I know what to do? You’re getting married anyway. It’s not like it’s a competition about who has the most dowry. If the man loves you, would he mind if you had no dowry?”
“You can’t be like that. That man is from a wealthy family, so Eliza will be looked down upon if she marries him without. present any gifts. Even the servants would look down on her. Look at you and Lily. If you were rich back then, would your father-in-law still look down on you?”
Then my mother-in-law gave me an apologetic smile. “Lily, please don’t be offended. I’m just trying to set an example, and I’m not saying your dad isn’t good.”
I smiled softly as Carson gave me a wary look. “But, me not having money now is a fact too.
want me to do?”
“Lily, why don’t you help Carson?” My mother-in-law suddenly turned to me. After she suggested this, the entire family turned to look at me.
How could this bunch of useless idiots be so shameless as to ask me to help them?
I smile softly. “Mom, what can I do? My salary is barely enough and I’ve already lost my savings from the last few years. I just don’t have enough to help.”
“Can’t you ask your
father? Ask him if he can lend us some, and tell him Carson will pay him back after he starts making money again.”
“To borrow money from my father?” Oh God! A bunch of shameless idiots! I smiled and glanced at Carson. “Husband, was it your idea?”
Carson didn’t expect me to confront him directly. He was already used to me coming up with all sorts of ideas to help him and his family over the last few years, so he was taken aback by my sudden question before replying, “Honey, of course not! And my mother. .”
Then he turned to take a look at my mother-in-law. “Mom, stop making things worse.”
“What do you mean I’m making things worse? Am I not just talking about the truth? You and Lily don’t have any money right now, so it’s not like our in-laws can just leave you to fend for yourself. . We are just borrowing, not taking.”
