After taking the list from Lu Mu, Liu Hua compared them one by one, and seeing Liu Hua's painful expression, Lu Mu made a cup of tea for him, and then put it in front of Liu Hua: "Liu Gongzi, don't worry, drink a cup of tea and look slowly." ”

Glancing at the teacup in front of him, Liu Hua asked cautiously, "Shopkeeper, this tea?" Wouldn't you be charged as well? ”

"Ten cents a cup." Lu Mu looked at Liu Hua with a smile.

After hearing this, Liu Hua hurriedly poured the tea in the cup back into the teapot: "Fortunately, I haven't drunk it yet, good guy, you really fell into the eyes of money, I can't afford to drink this tea, just go back and give me some cold boiled water." ”

"Huh...... Just now, the old decay is a joke for you, just a cup of tea, how to charge. After saying this, Lu Mu continued: "In this way, Liu Gongzi can take this list issued by Lao Yu and go outside for consultation."

Look at the prices listed on the list, is there anything unreasonable? Lao Yu This shop has been in business for four generations, and he still has some reputation, if Liu Gongzi finds that Lao Yu's list has deceived customers, Lao Yu is willing to compensate tenfold. ”

Hearing this, Liu Hua returned the list to Lu Mu: "As soon as you say this, I trust you more, and I won't go to consult, just pay the price you said." ”

After Yun said this sentence lightly, Liu Hua glanced at Lu Mu with a serious expression, and after exuding the previous Wang Ba on his body, he said with a serious face: "Shopkeeper, when I pay the money, can I make an IOU?" ”

"Do you think I'll say yes?" After asking rhetorically, Lu Mu took out a wooden board from the side, only to see that the wooden board was carved with hollow carving, engraved with a few big characters: "I am embarrassed when you come to owe the debt, I will ask for the account and you will be upset, it is better for you not to owe the debt, I am not embarrassed and you are not annoyed." ”

"I'll you...... Where did the word "feelings" come from? After complaining about the wooden board, Liu Hua discussed with Lu Mu how to solve the problem of decoration costs.

After some discussion, the two finally discussed a compromise solution, Liu Hua first paid one hundred and fifty taels of silver as a deposit, and after receiving the deposit, Lu Mu first prepared the materials required for decoration.

Ten days later, Liu Hua will be the first decoration cost, five hundred taels of silver, sent to Lu Mu's hands, after receiving the money, Lu Mu sent someone to Wu Mansion to renovate and build a house, when the project is halfway, Liu Hua paid the second fee, three hundred taels of silver, as for the remaining costs, when the project is completed, and then delivered.

When it was time to pay the deposit, Liu Hua took out all the silver in his arms, although Huang Baishan gave him thirty taels of silver before, but he counted the loser meal he ate from Shuixiang City, plus some money spent on helping Sun Shidong sign up for a martial arts competition, and he still had fifteen taels of silver left on him.

Later, he turned out more than eighty taels of silver from Suo Suha and several people, but these together were still not enough, seeing this, Liu Hua turned his gaze to Sun Shidong: "Brother, this is a critical moment, don't you have anything to say?" ”

After seeing that he finished speaking, Sun Shidong shook his head like a rattle. Liu Hua couldn't help but remind: "My brother's house is going to be renovated, and I need to pay one hundred and fifty taels of silver as a deposit, but my brother only has ninety-five taels of silver here, what do you say my brother should do?" ”

"You can do whatever you like, what's my business?" After finishing speaking, Sun Shidong looked at him in surprise.

"it...... Lao Tzu has said it so obviously, don't you still know what you should do? Seeing that Sun Shidong had no intention of giving generously, Liu Hua had to continue: "Lend me sixty taels of silver." ”

After hearing this, Sun Shidong looked at Liu Hua with an embarrassed expression: "Ahem...... What are you borrowing so much for? Is it okay to borrow less? ”

"What are you crying about? Don't you have more than seventy taels of silver on you? After saying this, Liu Hua seemed to think of something, and then looked at Sun Shidong with a sad face: "People say that adversity sees the truth, but I didn't know what Lu Dao meant before?" Now I understand, as soon as I heard that I borrowed money from you, you were reluctant, Sun Shidong, I, I misjudged you. ”

"It's not like you thought it would be." Seeing that Liu Hua misunderstood himself, Sun Shidong was a little anxious, and after hesitating for a moment, he said hesitantly: "It's not that I'm reluctant to lend it to you, but I only have fifty-five taels of silver left on me, and I really can't take out sixty taels of silver." ”

"Huh? How so? Have you met a thief? Or is your money gone? That's not right...... If you meet a thief, he should steal all the silver on your body, and it is impossible to steal only fifteen taels of silver. Even if it does, it should all be gone? Why do you have more than fifty taels left? Liu Hua looked at Sun Shidong with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that Liu Hua was asking endlessly, Sun Shidong's face turned red, scratched his forehead with his fingers, and then said with a dry smile: "Ahem...... What's that...... Well...... I went to the Pick-up House yesterday afternoon. ”

"What?" Liu Hua didn't believe his ears a little, and when he heard that Sun Shidong had gone to Jiefang Building alone yesterday, he couldn't help but slap the table, and then stood up suddenly.

Seeing Liu Hua's reaction so big, Sun Shidong was a little nervous: "Brother Liu, you, don't be angry, I just went there to play, listened to a little song from it, drank a few glasses of wine with Linlin, and after playing for a while, I came back, didn't do anything else, really." ”

Hearing this, Liu Hua became even more angry, he pointed at Sun Shidong with his finger, and then said with a look of hatred: "You are a loser, you go to that kind of place, you don't even call me, the most annoying thing is that after you went, you didn't do anything, didn't do anything, where did you go to play a fart?" Next time you go, remember to call me. ”

After saying this, Liu Hua indignantly took out fifty-five taels of silver from Sun Shidong, combined the silver of the two, and barely made up one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and then, Liu Hua handed over the silver to Lu Mu, and after receiving the receipt from Lu Mu, Liu Hua pulled Sun Shidong and left Lu Mu.

The two walked on the street, Sun Shidong touched the money bag with only a few copper plates left, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Liu, where are we going now?" The case is closed, and we can't live in the prefect's yamen.

The silver on my body has just been taken by you to pay the deposit, and now there are only five or six copper plates left, don't worry about me, by the way, I don't understand something, you even have a deposit for decoration, you are barely scraping together, ten days later, where are you going to get five hundred taels of silver to hand over to the surnamed Lu? ”

"Alas...... Can't you just leave this topic up again? When I think about it, I have a headache. After rubbing his forehead, Liu Hua looked at the bustling crowd around him, and then whispered softly: "It seems that I have to find a way to make some money, otherwise I will have to drink the northwest wind in two days." ”
