Chapter Forty-Nine: I Lack a Daughter
Qiu Hai glanced at her slowly, picked up the pen and ink on the table and wrote something, and then pushed it to Bai Jiaojiao with a small mold box. "Take a look."
Bai Jiaojiao opened the wooden box, and inside was the title deed and key of the shop! "This ......"
"Five hundred taels is not less, and the arrears must be paid off within a year, otherwise I will take back the shop. See clearly, don't say I lied to you. β
Bai Jiaojiao looked the IOU left and right several times, but his eyes were still full of disbelief and gratitude. "Uncle Qiu, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to pay this silver?"
"It's mine if you don't go to this shop yet, why are you afraid?" Qiu Hai deliberately provoked her.
Thinking about it, it was only the icing on the cake that was difficult to send charcoal, she and Qiu Hai had not known each other for a long time, but the other party was able to lend her such a large amount. Maybe five hundred taels of Qiu Hai is not an astronomical amount, but according to Bai Jiaojiao's family situation, even if she sells her whole family, it is not worth this amount.
"Okay, okay, I can't see the little girl crying the nose." Qiu Hai patted her on the shoulder, a little overwhelmed. "If you really feel that you owe me, it just so happens that I lack a daughter, are you interested in trying?"
Seeing that she was stunned, Qiu Hai also said deliberately. "Alas, when this man is old, he wants someone to serve him, serving tea and pouring water or something. I'm a lonely old man who seems to be disliked wherever I go. That's it, it's understandable that you little doll can't look down on the old man. β
"How could it be, Uncle Qiu didn't dislike Kyaukyao's background, and he helped Kyaukjiao so much, not to mention such a trivial matter as serving tea and pouring water." Bai Jiaojiao couldn't cry or laugh, Qiu Hai really had a picture, but the picture was not on the side, it was actually her, she should really feel honored.
"So you're agreeing?"
In Dasheng, if a family that has never been married or cannot give birth to offspring can adopt a child from a side branch or elsewhere, Qiu Hai is a person who has been adrift for many years and is not willing to be restrained. But his vision is picky, even if the Yun family side branch wants to pass on the child he will pass on, he can't look down on it, but he just falls in love with Bai Jiaojiao.
But he also knew that although the Bai family was poor, they would never sell their children, not to mention that he had seen all those children, and it was only a matter of time before they had a chance. Bai Jiaojiao's parents are there, and he can only retreat to recognize his godparents.
But it's okay for him to do this, don't worry too much, and if you have a goddaughter, you're afraid that his other siblings won't respect him? In addition, the Bai family is also a clean family with a very good family education, and he is not at a loss.
Qiu Hai has his own considerations, and Bai Jiaojiao naturally has it.
"Of course I'm happy to have a godfather like Uncle Qiu who loves me, but I still have to ask my father and aunt, so I ...... "Admitting Qiu Hai's godfather is a hundred benefits and no harm to her, but I don't know if Bai Father and Liu will feel wronged, if they want to be wronged, then she would rather push Qiu Hai's kindness."
"You are a filial child, rest assured, even if you can't marry this family, I will borrow you as usual." Qiu Hai is even more satisfied, he has considered all aspects of his biological parents, and the pair of godfathers will not be far behind. "Let's sign it."
"Okay." Bai Jiaojiao no longer twisted, picked up the thin brush a little uncomfortable, copied Qiu Hai's IOU, and then signed it. Solemnly folded it, one for each person, and then the itchy eyes kept drifting down the street.
"It's done, go check out your shop. This heart has already flown away. Qiu Hai laughed when he saw her itchy appearance.
Bai Jiaojiao touched her nose embarrassedly, this was her first store, how could she not be excited. "Then I'll go and see the shop, goodbye Uncle Qiu." Then when I passed by Yunxi in a good mood, I gave Yunxi a big smile. "Goodbye Yun Langjun."
"Again...... See? Yunxi was flattered and puzzled. What does goodbye mean? Goodbye? β
However, Bai Jiaojiao had already pushed the door and ran, so he could only ask Qiu Hai. "Uncle Qiu, is the little beauty dating me?"
Qiu Hai glanced at him coldly, you think too much about the boy.
"I said Uncle Qiu, you can't be so awkward. You said that you asked me to keep the shop for you, and you went to someone to clean it up, and you did so many good things that you still have to make people owe you five hundred taels. You might as well just say that you were going to give it to her as a gift. Yunxi shook his head. At that time, the gratitude will not be a little or two, and it will not be a mouthful of you. β
"Do you believe it or not, if her parents don't nod, even if I give a shop, then the girl won't recognize me as a godfather?"
Yunxi naturally didn't believe it, it was five hundred taels of silver, but as long as he recognized the name, someone would be stupid and couldn't push it out.
"I believe it." It's because he believes that he won't send it directly to the shop, and if she sends it directly, she won't accept it, and even if she recognizes it, it's not sincere.
I have to say that Qiu Hai's vision of people is very accurate, five hundred taels is the range of gratitude that Bai Jiaojiao can bear, in this range, Qiu Hai gave her a chance, respect, trust, because she is confident that she can do it, so she will accept it. But if it exceeds this range, then she can't stand it, even if it is a good intention.
"Money is not everything, and one day you will understand." Qiu Hai spoke earnestly to Yunxi Road.
Yunxi had a smile on his face that was not as good as the bottom of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly sarcastic. "But if it weren't for the money, you and I wouldn't be here, but like those people, doing whatever it takes to get it."
"You're right, but everything should be done in moderation." Qiu Hai put down the tea bowl in his hand with some sternness, "The three generations of imperial merchants of the Yun family have earned enough. β
"Uncle Qiu, you have said a lot, the silver in the world is still from the world." Yunxi played with the jade wrench on his thumb, "I'm not just keeping it for them temporarily. β
"Is it really just custody?" He watched this child grow up, and he also watched his ambition and ruthlessness swell day by day.
"Of course." Yunxi smiled, "Uncle Qiu doesn't believe me? I'm so wronged. β
At the age of ten, he was in charge of a fat powder shop independently, and within three months, the demon king of the mixed world who framed the competitors of the shop and forced the family to ruin will still be wronged? What a joke!
Qiu Hai waved his hand in disgust. "Go away, go away, I can't bear your bright body."
"Uncle Qiu, you really don't have any vision, look at the indigo brocade dress you are wearing is the style of three months ago. You also represent the faΓ§ade of my Qingyun Building, and you can't be too shabby. Yunxi is naturally picky about Qiu Hai's taste, and he only wears the latest styles and the best materials.
"Yo, that's the word for Little Beauty." After attacking Qiu Hai's taste, he grabbed the IOU and said with a smile. "This word is really strange, the crooked ones in front are like a child's scribbles, but in the back they are a lot more regular, especially the three words of Bai Jiaojiao are quite a bit of a backbone."
"Not everyone has the same opportunity to learn from a famous artist as you do."
"That's right, who made me rich." Yunxi chuckled and said, "Uncle Qiu, you are money for dung, I can keep this for you." Maybe one day I'll run out of money, and I'll be able to eat here. β
"Nonsense." If the Yun family has no money, there will be no money in this world.
"What I'm saying is true, you want me to beg and starve to death on the streets." With infinite coolness in his soft voice, seeing that Qiu Hai's brows were about to clench again, he immediately changed his words but was full of murderous intent. "Kidding you."
β¦β¦ Dead boy, get out!
