Chapter 8 Things Change
The Wang family paid the price of the fourth-floor assets of the grocery store in exchange for He Laodao's investment, which can be said to be a big price, but it is actually profitable. In Wang Xiu's calculations, the Wang family is like a lonely boat in the wind and rain, which may be swallowed up by Zhang Wenshan at any time, and being able to rely on the 'Wanshixing' quality bank is definitely a talisman and the strongest guarantee that can allow the Wang family to tide over the difficulties first.
Although the initiative is not in his own hands, it can be regarded as a buffer in times of crisis, but he is confident that he will regain the initiative, and Wang Xiu intends to do so.
Wang Xiu returned home early, he still had a lot of things to do, more than half of the household registration register had not been written, and the quill pen was almost consumed.
After washing the dishes and copying dozens of pages of the household registration book, Wang Xiu continued to decolorize the brown sugar in the hut, and it was not until it was time to eat at noon that he came out to help Xie make a fire and cook.
Hot goose meat, a few home-cooked vegetarian dishes were put on the table, Wang Chengcai walked in with a solemn face, Xie hurriedly greeted him, and said, "The official is back, wash your hands and eat." ”
Wang Xiu came over with a smile and said, "Mother, I'll clean up, I'm hungry." ”
"You! Wait for your father's hands to clean before eating. Xie glanced at his son, and his face was confused.
Wang Xiu laughed twice and said, "As soon as my mother sells a pot of good wine for my father, the child can also follow suit." ”
Wang Cheng had a dark face, put his butt on the high-backed chair, and said impatiently: "Okay, let me be quiet for a while." ”
Wang Xiu was stunned, and suddenly had a bad feeling, he looked at Wang Cheng in surprise, and said, "Could it be that He Lao Dao has repented?" Impossible. ”
Xie Shi was stunned, but she didn't ask, but poured a cup of tea and served it to Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng drank the dry tea in one go, put the cup heavily on the coffee table, and said nothing, with a black line.
Wang Xiu chuckled in his heart, the secret path was broken, there might really be a change, he took a breath and asked cautiously, "Dad, what's the matter?" ”
Wang Changchang sighed and shook his head, as if he wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it, and his eyes were even evading.
"Dad, you're talking." Wang Xiu didn't want to believe that it was true, he had to answer Wang Cheng, even if he was a little unwilling, he would not give up hope.
"Hey! It's not that He Laodao regretted it, but things suddenly changed. Wang Chang sighed.
Wang Xiu's heart shook, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, tell me slowly, what's going on?" ”
"Hey, it's me who is incompetent, it's me who is incompetent!" Wang Cheng seemed to dissolve a breath of phlegm, looking distressed.
Wang Xiu finally understood that it was not He Laodao who broke the appointment, and people didn't even make a mistake, and the matter had to start with Wang Cheng and Liu Laodao going to the county government.
Originally, they went to handle the case together, He Laodao got the fourth-floor assets of Wang Ji Grocery Store, and the Wang family was able to be exempted from debts and receive financial support, which was a happy deal.
The two had just arrived at the county office, but they unexpectedly met Lu Dayou, because the Lu family had just divorced the Wang family, Wang Cheng naturally would not be angry, and he didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but he didn't expect Lu Dayou to stop Wang Cheng.
Lu Dayou shouted that he became the biggest creditor of Wang Ji grocery store, Wang Cheng was shocked, and was confirmed by the county government and needed to repay the money immediately, Wang Cheng was immediately stunned.
He Laodao is an old fox in the end, and at a glance, it can be seen that Lu Dayou is standing behind Zhang Wenshan, and said in front of the priest that he negotiated business with the Wang family on behalf of Wanshixing, since the Wang family shop is insolvent, there is no need to cooperate, and wait for the Wang family to settle the predicament.
"Although He Laodao is not afraid of the Zhang family, there is no need to get into trouble, after all, Zhang Wenshan has a lot of power in the county." Wang Cheng sighed again, his face pale.
Wang Xiu gritted his teeth, the great opportunity was ruined, Zhang Wenshan borrowed Lu Dayou's hand to collect the creditor's IOU, obviously wanted to forcibly annex through the guò government, and the Wang family had no power to fight back.
"Official, what else is there to do, or I'll go." Xie Shi's face was pale, she didn't know what to do, the consequences of bankruptcy were strict, and she thought of her mother's family.
Wang Cheng knew what Xie was thinking, but he couldn't pull his face!
Wang Xiu groaned for a while and said, "Does He Laodao want to ask for money?" ”
"I didn't say that." Wang Cheng shook his head irritably, looked at Wang Xiu thoughtfully, and said dejectedly: "Your mother." ”
Wang Xiu smiled bitterly: "There are many icing on the cake, but there are few charcoal in the snow, and the two families are not very moving." ”
Wang Changchang sighed, he didn't know that the Xie family repeatedly asked for help from him, and in the end he was really annoyed, and the relationship was not very good after several rejections. However, no matter how bad it is, you have to bite the bullet, there is really no way.
Wang Xiu was afraid that Xie Shi would be worried and comforted, so he smiled. "Mother, it's a trivial matter, it's hard for the child to me, you can rest assured!"
But no one in the family had the heart to eat, Wang Cheng hadn't shown his old face yet, but Xie quietly went back to his mother's house in the south of the city......
When the Wang family was in trouble, the Lu family's living room was a different scene.
Zhang Qiyuan sat in the guest seat very gracefully, smiling gently, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Lu Dayou sat on the top with a lovely smile, and Lu Tianshou stood on the side, stammering with a face.
"Virtuous nephew! The Wang family is completely planted, Wang Cheng, that old thing, is empty-eyed because he has a good terrain, and even Brother Zhang ignores it. Lu Dayou smiled and complimented him with all his might.
Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, Wang Cheng is stupid and stubborn, and he suffers from himself, but he can't wait to ignore it, he must cut through the mess quickly and take his family business in one go, after all, He Laodao has an ambiguous attitude, so he must be guarded against!" ”
Lu Dayou twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the virtuous nephew, He is old and cunning, even if the ancestral tomb of the Wang family is smoky, he will never stand up for the Wang family." ”
Lu Tianshou said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, since Shibo entrusts me, I will do it properly, and I will never let Wang Xiu have a chance to turn over." ”
Zhang Qiyuan smiled, he didn't care about Wang Xiu, for him, winning the Wang family's grocery store was the most important thing. In this way, the Zhang family occupies the most prosperous area of South Street, and a large amount of money can roll in.
"Hey, I have to ask Uncle Shi."
Lu Dayou said: "Just have an old man to run errands, the virtuous nephew still studies with peace of mind, Qiu Yu sent tribute, and my little daughter has a fate." ”
Zhang Qiyuan's face sneered, that is, playing with your daughter, you still take it seriously, his mouth was like touching honey, and he smiled with a signboard: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, the little nephew will definitely get the Jinshi, and he will definitely accept the little lady." ”
Lu Dayou nodded with satisfaction, he was able to tie up with the Zhang family, in the future, in Shangshui County, it is not about the wind and the rain, since he broke off the marriage contract with the Wang family, his daughter is no longer crying, and it has become much better. But he patronized proudly, and he didn't hear that Zhang Qiyuan was talking about 'acceptance' instead of marrying, and the difference between the words was thousands of miles.
However, he slandered Zhang Wenshan's father and son in his heart, not only wanting to occupy other people's property, but also unwilling to leave a bad reputation, but his face was kind, and he did not dare to have any dissatisfaction. He also admired Zhang Wenshan's methods, not only to get Nuoda's furniture, but also to spread his reputation, the best of both worlds, how good it would be if he was himself! ……
In the evening, the Xie family came back from his mother's house and entered the bedroom without saying a word, but Wang Qingchang angrily recounted the Xie family's unkindness. Not only did they not lend the Wang family 100 gold, but several uncles were sneering, but fortunately, their grandmother gave them five taels of silver in private.
Wang Xiu was furious and said: "I shouldn't have gone if I knew it, I was so stupid to believe in my father's house, otherwise I would have pulled my mother a long time ago." ”
Seeing Wang Cheng's hesitant expression, he said tentatively: "Dad, how much money can you make up outside?" ”
Wang Cheng shook his head and was silent, who would dare to borrow a debt! The Zhang family is watching from the sidelines, there is really no way, I want to work hard for half my life, and I have been forced to a dead end by others, and it is okay to say alone, what should I do with my wife? The son was easy to get his senses, self-motivated, and about to solve the test, but he had to live a life of eating chaff vegetables, and he wanted to die headlonging.
"The shop can't be saved."
Wang Xiu's face was calm, but he was nervously thinking in his heart, what should he do? Even if there is a way, it's too late, Zhang Wenshan and his son didn't give him a chance at all, it seems that he is a little idealistic!.
On the third watch, a bright moon was in the sky, Wang Xiu finally completed a roster, he stretched out tiredly, and it was 600 yuan, although it was still a drop in the bucket, but next month's rent had fallen!
He was not discouraged or depressed, his brain was running at high speed, how to get out of the current desperate situation, he thought he needed an opportunity!
Opportunity? There is no free lunch in the world, it seems that you can only fight once! xh118
