Chapter 232: Threatening with This
The deadline came in a flash, and Song Xiaoqiao tried all kinds of methods in the past three days, trying to find Xiao Wang, but in vain.
And the silver that should have arrived yesterday, Qi Mu did not cash it truthfully, which made her panic in her heart, and ran directly to Yuelai Restaurant.
"Little Joe, you're here."
It was the shopkeeper Wu who spoke, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly ran out of the counter to greet her.
"Where's Qi Mu?"
This damn guy, obviously promised to send the money over yesterday, why is there no news today, tonight is the deadline of three days, she has to take the initiative to find the door.
"Owner...... He's out of the house. β
Shopkeeper Wu said embarrassedly, and his words made Song Xiaoqiao immediately frown.
"I'm going far away, when is it, why don't I know?"
What the hell is Qi Mu doing, knowing that she is now waiting for the silver to save her life, he actually went out at this time, did he forget what he promised her?
But there is no reason, the matter of the restaurant being burned is now a topic after tea and dinner in Qingyang Town, and Qi Mu is the owner of the restaurant, so there is no reason to forget.
Could it be that something happened to Qi Mu?
"I just left yesterday, and I don't know much about this." He continued to speak helplessly.
"Did he say when he would be back?"
Qi Mu's departure disrupted all her plans, if she couldn't get the money tonight, then the three of them, mother and son, would have to sleep on the street, not to mention the comeback.
"I didn't say when the owner left, and we don't know." After the shopkeeper Wu finished speaking, he looked outside, and then continued: "Xiao Qiao, you haven't eaten yet, why don't you eat and leave, it's almost noon." β
"No, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you, if Qi Mu comes back, let him come to me."
She didn't know if Qi Mu really encountered something urgent, or if she deliberately avoided her, regretting that she was unwilling to lend her money, her time was very tight, let alone eating, she didn't have time to catch her breath.
She had to think carefully about how she would deal with the damaged merchants if Qi Mu didn't come back, or if she didn't want to lend her money.
"Little Joe."
Here, Song Xiaoqiao had just come out of Yuelai Restaurant, and he heard a familiar voice over there, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Li Qingyun.
"Why are you here?"
At this time, shouldn't Li Qingyun be working in the yamen, how could he appear here.
"I'm here for you." After Li Qingyun finished speaking, he took out a money bag from his arms, and then continued: "This is what I have saved for so many years, I wanted to wait for the time when we got married, and buy you some jewelry that you like, so I will take it first." β
Over the years, he has been frugal, and finally saved two hundred taels, thinking that he would wait for the time to marry Song Xiaoqiao and buy a gift for Song Xiaoqiao, but he didn't expect this to happen to Song Xiaoqiao.
He also knew that he had a little money, but it was better than nothing, and he could help Song Xiaoqiao save the emergency.
"No, it's not easy for you to save money, it's better to save it and wait for the time to get married to buy me a gift, as for the store, I've already found a solution."
Although the money bag looked brand new, she knew that this was all Li Qingyun's belongings, so she couldn't take it.
"I know that this amount of money is a drop in the bucket for you, but I am your fiancΓ© and deserve to contribute."
For Song Xiaoqiao, this silver is a little less, but this is all his belongings, and some of them are deceived by him from his mother.
He has rarely lied to his mother for so many years, but for the sake of Song Xiaoqiao, he is willing.
"Okay, I'll take it first, but I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."
Although two hundred taels doesn't play much role for her now, she didn't want to refute Li Qingyun's love for her, so she accepted the money.
"Xiao Qiao, why are you here, I also said that I will wait until noon to see you."
As soon as he arrived at Taozipu, Jiang Tao greeted him.
"Well, I'm here to borrow money from you."
She directly said her purpose straight to the point, she thought that even if in the end, she really needs to sell the house, she can't lose her trust, this is the most basic morality of being a person.
She's young enough to start all over again.
"It's easy to say, I've already prepared it for you."
This is the truth, after Song Xiaoqiao's accident, he packed up all his silver, thinking that he would be free to send it to Song Xiaoqiao today.
He is not an ungrateful person, if there was no Song Xiaoqiao, there would be no him today, he has always been grateful to Song Xiaoqiao in his heart.
"Wait."
Here, Jiang Tao just walked out of the counter with the silver, and Qin Yu over there suddenly walked over and snatched the big bag in Jiang Tao's hand.
"Tao'er, why are you so stupid, knowing that Xiao Qiao doesn't like you, you also took out all your belongings, I heard that you are still ready to sell this shop, right?"
When Qin Yu said this, he didn't forget to glance at Song Xiaoqiao meaningfully.
"I think my aunt misunderstood, I borrowed this money from Brother Tao, and I will definitely give it in the future."
Although Jiang Tao's money is not much, it can also solve part of it, plus the house and the money for Haoran's medical treatment, she believes that she can also take time to appease those merchants, so she will be cheeky to come to Jiang Tao.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yu thought that he would ask Jiang Tao for it.
Borrowing and asking are two concepts, and she is not the brazen person.
"Mother, if it weren't for Xiao Qiao, I might still be fishing, you quickly return the silver to me, this is what I am willing to give to Xiao Qiao."
Now he has the technology and is not afraid of starvation, not to mention that he has never let go of Song Xiaoqiao in his heart from beginning to end, and now that Song Xiaoqiao is in trouble, how can he sit idly by.
"You are confused, you gave her all the money, then what do you take to marry a daughter-in-law, you are not too young, do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life."
If you want silver, you can, unless Song Xiaoqiao tells her in person that she wants to be her daughter-in-law, there is no door.
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about."
Jiang Tao looked embarrassed, afraid that Song Xiaoqiao would be angry, so he only dared to glance at it secretly, and didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Good...... I see, then I won't bother you. β
Qin Yu's words were so obvious, she was not stupid, how could she not hear it, Qin Yu wanted to take this opportunity to threaten her and let her marry Jiang Tao.
Who is she, she is Song Xiaoqiao, let alone a thousand taels, even ten thousand taels, she will not sell herself.
"Little Joe, wait a minute." Hearing that Song Xiaoqiao was leaving, Jiang Tao immediately opened his mouth, and at the same time turned around and said, "Mother, you can give me the silver, even if the child begs you, okay." β
It doesn't matter if Song Xiaoqiao likes him or not, anyway, he likes Song Xiaoqiao, that's enough, as for this silver, if Song Xiaoqiao hadn't personally taught him skills, he might still be a fisherman now, where would he be the boss of Taozi Shop.
He gave this silver without complaint or regret.
"My stupid son, she cooperates with a boss as big as Qi Mu, and Qi Mu doesn't lend it to her, what can she do with your money."
Qin Yu looked like she hated iron and steel, and stomped her feet angrily, and her words made Song Xiaoqiao feel slightly shocked in her heart.
Is it because too many things have happened recently, she is too sensitive, or is Qin Yu also involved? Otherwise, how would she know that she had borrowed silver from Qi Mu.
How many people are involved in this matter, why does she see that everyone is suspicious, especially Xiao Wang, who can't see anyone alive or dead, as if he has evaporated in Qingyang Town, and can't find any clues.
