Of course, all of Mei Yongfu's grand plans were made without any knowledge of Mei Yinan's actual family situation, so it's true what they say about getting rich quietly: if you don't have money, no one bothers you, but if you've got money, everyone starts eyeing you.
Even if Mei Yongfu knew he probably couldn't get anything from Mei Yinan, he'd still give it a try for sure.
Next in line was Mei Yifang. Second sister Mei Yifang was the best at saving money. Their family spent a lot too and bought an apartment in this community, but they don't really have anything major to spend on right now, so she's bound to have some savings. Borrowing a bit to tide him over shouldn't be an issue—even a little adds up, right?
In the past, Mei Yongan would've come before Mei Yifang, but now, this broke eldest brother isn't worth respecting anymore. Who told him to be penniless? He can barely make ends meet himself, let alone the mortgage. Mei Yongfu decided to just ignore Mei Yongan.
