Su Yunjin actually had no real intention of asking her elder brother to pay back those two taels of silver.
If her elder brother could pay it back in the future, he would.
If he couldn't, she wouldn't demand the money from him.
Su Yunjin said this only to get her parents to agree to use her money to help her brother redeem his indenture contract.
With that, Su Yunjin's parents no longer objected, "Yunjin, very well, we'll do as you say! We'll go now to redeem your brother's contract. In the future, your mother and your brother will gather enough silver and pay you and your son-in-law back."
"Yunjin, your mother is right; consider this money a loan from us to you and your son-in-law. We will repay you and your son-in-law in the future."
Su Zhongshi also said.
Su Yunjin replied, "Alright, it's settled then!"
Having persuaded her parents, Su Yunjin wasted no more time. She prepared to go with them to redeem her brother's contract.
