Old Man Zhou really only borrowed 100,000 yuan from the Ye family, and it was written very clearly in black and white. But the Ye family's underground business has always been dark, especially the loan business, which not only has a surprisingly high interest rate, but is compounded interest.

So the debts owed by Mr. Zhou are like snowballs, rolling bigger and bigger.

Zhou Yunfang did not calculate the specific amount of debt, but it should be not much different from her estimate, and it is only a lot more.

In other words, I am afraid that I will have to prepare at least two million to pay off the principal and interest that Old Man Zhou owes to the Ye family.

Two million, even if you sell this store, it's not worth the price.

However, the noodle shop is the source of the sisters' livelihood, and it is also the only asset that the Zhou family can preserve, there are too many feelings in it, and too much effort has been poured into Zhou Yunfang and Su Xiaoyi, and the sisters are reluctant to let go.

Therefore, now Zhou Yunfang has to do everything possible to get together these two million funds and keep the noodle shop as much as possible.

Although Gao Zheng patted his chest and said that he would repay the debt, Zhou Yunfang would not take it too seriously. After all, it is not a small amount, even if Gao Zheng can really take it, Zhou Yunfang will not accept it for no reason.

That guy kept claiming that he was Su Xiaoyi's man, if he really asked him to pay this money, wouldn't it make Zhou Yunfang admit his words?

Zhou Yunfang will not joke about Su Xiaoyi's happiness, at least not until she finds out Gao Zheng's identity and intentions in the store.

Of course, she didn't believe that Gao Zheng had the strength to repay Zhou Xinghe's debts, otherwise this guy wouldn't have turned pale when he heard the amount of money he owed just now, and he almost fell.

After the store closed in the evening, Zhou Yunfang asked Su Xiaoyi to take stock of the day's profits and losses, and she took Gao Zheng up to the second floor and arranged a place for him to live.

The condition is not bad, it is a single room, washing products and hot water are available, Gao Zheng is very satisfied.

"It's good to be satisfied!" Zhou Yunfang smiled strangely, closed the door with her backhand, and then sat on the bed with a big grin.

"Sister, you...... What are you doing here? Lonely Men and Widows...... You don't want to make a promise, do you? Gao Zheng showed a surprised expression, scratched his head in the corner of the wall and said, "However, the twisted melon is not sweet, what I like is Xiaoyi......"

"Shut up!" Zhou Yunfang drank in a deep voice, raised her eyes and glared at Gao Zheng: "My mother is not in the mood to gag with you now, you tell me honestly, what is the purpose of grandpa letting you come to the store?" What do you owe him that deserves a year of work for nothing? ”

"This ...... Sister, can you leave us some secrets? Gao Zheng grinned.

Zhou Yunfang said coldly: "You don't have to say it, but get out of the way for the old lady early tomorrow morning, the store is the old lady's, and the old lady has the right to decide whether you go or stay." And if I had the chance, I'd tell that old bastard that you didn't want to stay here and leave on your own, so you can't pay off this debt. ”

Since Gao Zheng said that he came here to repay the favor of Old Man Zhou, Zhou Yunfang expected that he would choose to "confess".

Sure enough, after Gao Zheng was silent for a moment, he sighed helplessly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Old Man Zhou has caused some trouble recently, and he is worried that it will harm you and Xiaoyi, so he asked me to come over and take care of it." ”

The so-called care, it goes without saying, naturally it means protection, so Zhou Xinghe must be in a lot of trouble, otherwise he would not be so cautious.

Although Zhou Yunfang is not very old, she is also a person who has experienced ups and downs after all, so she can still hear the meaning of Gao Zheng's more obscure words.

Since ancient times, there has been a rule that the family is in trouble, and it can make the enemy break the rules and attack Zhou Yunfang and Su Xiaoyi, so it can be seen that Zhou Xinghe is afraid that he will break into a catastrophe this time.

"What the hell has this old bastard done to be unethical?" Zhou Yunfang muttered to herself, and then raised her eyes to look at Gao Zheng: "So, in addition to your strength, is it possible that you are still a hidden master?" ”

If Zhou Yunfang and Su Xiaoyi were really in danger, Zhou Xinghe would definitely not find someone to come over casually. But Zhou Yunfang really couldn't see anything special about Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled: "Sister, you must have watched too many film and television dramas, what a master and a low hand, Old Man Zhou is just thinking that there is no man in your store, let me come over to support the scene." ”

"Virtue, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it." Zhou Yunfang glanced at Gao Zheng and did not ask any further.

As long as Gao Zheng came to the store without malice, the rest didn't matter.

However, faintly, Gao Yunfang was still a little worried, if anyone really wanted to be unfavorable to herself and Su Xiaoyi, no matter how powerful Gao Zheng was, I was afraid that it would be difficult to defeat four legs with two fists and would not be able to cope with it.

In addition, she is also worried about Zhou Xinghe's safety, although many times she scolds Zhou Xinghe for being an old bastard, but after all, he is her own grandfather, and the fact that blood is thicker than water cannot be changed.

Gao Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his identity could not be exposed now, if Zhou Yunfang broke the sand pot and asked to the end, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

If the wolf cubs under his command knew that they were bodyguards for two ordinary women and would not charge a penny, they would have to laugh.

Thinking of this, Gao Zheng suddenly felt a heartache. I don't know what happened to those guys during the time I was away.

This night, Zhou Yunfang, who has always had a big heart, lost sleep, like a pancake, tossing and turning. It's easy to get sleepy, and I'm awakened by a series of nightmares.

Su Xiaoyi also slept very unsteadily, and the reason was probably similar to Zhou Yunfang. On the one hand, he was worried about Zhou Xinghe, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that the store would fall into Ye Longchen's hands.

It's Gao Zheng who has no heart and lungs, and he sleeps so fragrantly that even Zhou Yunfang and Su Xiaoyi, who are separated by a room, can hear his earth-shattering snoring.

In her free time after the busy morning, Zhou Yunfang carefully counted the funds on hand, almost 300,000, which she and Su Xiaoyi had saved over the years.

If there is no Zhou Xinghe, with these savings, the sisters can live a life of small wealth and peace in the third-tier city of Xiangcheng.

"It's a headache!" Zhou Yunfang rubbed her head, thinking about what to do with the remaining more than one million?

After the Zhou family fell, this strong woman really felt what it means to be in the hot and cold world. The so-called relatives and friends all avoided it, and they didn't even want to answer the phone, let alone borrow money.

Now the only way Zhou Yunfang can think of is to sell some of her assets, and then pawn the pair of jade bracelets left by her mother. If that's not enough, then you can only go to the bank for a loan, anyway, the store's real estate certificate is still in hand.

Thinking of her mother, this woman who was fierce and fierce on the outside, but helpless and weak on the inside, couldn't help but cry.

"Sister, why are you crying?" Gao Zheng leaned against the counter with a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head and smiled: "Crying women are easy to age, and they will have crow's feet at the corners of their eyes." ”

"Bastard thing, who said the old lady cried?" Zhou Yunfang turned her head sideways and wiped away her tears: "The old lady just got her eyes into the sand." ”

"Oh!" Gao Zheng spit out his cigarette and approached Zhou Yunfang: "Do you want me to blow it for you?" In the past, Widow Zhang in our village often got her eyes into the sand, and she was blown for her. ”

"Fuck off, my mother is annoying." Zhou Yunfang widened her eyes and waved her fist.

Gao Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "What's the trouble, isn't it just that you owe that kid from the Ye family a little money?" Since you said that I will pay it back, sister, you can put one hundred and twenty hearts. The man spits on a nail, and when we say it, it is the water that is spilled, without remorse. ”

"Virtue!" Zhou Yunfang glanced at Gao Zheng and sighed: "If you can really handle this matter, I will agree to your relationship with Xiaoyi." ”

Of course, this is a joke, because Zhou Yunfang knows that it is impossible for Gao Zheng to do it.

"A word is a certainty!" Gao Zhengshen was calm: "It's nothing, I'll go to work first." ”

Zhou Yunfang looked at Gao Zheng's back in a daze, thinking to herself, could it be that this kid is a hidden rich second generation, deliberately pretending to be poor here?

It seems likely, but it's extremely unlikely.

In the next few days, Zhou Yunfang was a little distracted, and she didn't have much heart to run a noodle shop. Su Xiaoyi was also sullen, no matter how Gao Zheng teased her, it was rare to see her smile.

When it came to the day when she agreed with Ye Longchen to repay the debt, Zhou Yunfang got up early, posted a notice of closure at the door, and then walked around with her hands in her hands, secretly thinking about how to deal with him when she saw Ye Longchen for a while.

If it weren't for Gao Zheng's words to death that day, Zhou Yunfang felt that he could still continue to deal with Ye Longchen. But now, there is no room for any recovery.

Of course, she didn't mean to blame Gao Zheng. On the contrary, if Gao Zheng hadn't helped at that time, it is estimated that Su Xiaoyi would have been harmed by Ye Longchen's bastard.

"Sister, you are dangling like this, it makes my eyes a little dazzling."

Gao Zheng rubbed his temples, his eyelids suddenly jumped, and he saw Ye Longchen walking in with a group of people.

"Is the money ready?" Ye Longchen chose a place to sit down and glanced at Zhou Yunfang lightly.

The old man standing beside Ye Longchen sneered twice, took out a crumpled piece of paper, and placed it on the table neatly: "This is the loan agreement of the old man Zhou back then, it is clearly written in black and white, if it cannot be repaid when it is due, you have to use this shop to pay off the debt." ”

Zhou Yunfang and Su Xiaoyi were so nervous that they didn't even dare to pant loudly, and their chests were like holding a deer, jumping hard.

This is the first time the sisters have experienced such a formal scene, and in addition to being nervous, they are also a little unwilling.

Could it be that the small shop that has been painstakingly run is really going to be handed over?
