Chapter 207: IOU
The three of them arrived in Taoyuan County and went straight to Xiaoling's shop.
The guys were busy with their feet not touching the ground, Xiaoling was busy collecting money, Zhang Xiuqin saw the three of them coming, and hurriedly greeted them: "You guys are here, go and sit in the back for a while, and we'll go to you when we're done." ”
With that, she led the three of them to the back of the shop, hurriedly said a few words, and then trotted to the front to greet the customers.
"It seems that Xiaoling's business here is good." Xiao Man leaned out and looked out the window, looking at the endless stream of guests, and sincerely appreciated: "It seems that Xiao Ling is indeed the material for doing business, otherwise she would not have run her business so well in a short period of time." ”
"Where is she comparable to you, you have opened so many semicolons in Shangjing, which one is not bigger than her?" Su Qi smacked his lips and said indifferently.
Xiao Man turned around, returned to his seat, and said with a light smile: "Shangjing and Taoyuan County are different, this is not comparable." ”
As she spoke, she slowly approached Lu Li, put her hands behind her back, and gently tugged at Lu Li's clothes while Su Qi was not paying attention.
The man turned around, but instead of speaking, he asked her what he was going to do with his eyes.
Xiao Man coughed lightly, lowered his head to approach Lu Li, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you wanted to help me persuade my father?" Now that there's no one around, why don't you hurry-"
"What are you two muttering?" Su Qi frowned and looked at the two of them with a displeased expression, "In broad daylight, what kind of system do you have like this?" Even if you are a couple, you have to pay attention to the impact. ”
On weekdays, Su Qi would never say these words, he would only feel that the relationship between the husband and wife was really good, but since he accidentally bumped into the two of them on the road, he always felt awkward in his heart. I am afraid that the two of them will be embarrassed when I say it, and I feel awkward if I don't say it.
Just when he hesitated, he happened to bump into the two of them talking quietly next to their heads again, and Su Qi couldn't care much, so he said it in one breath.
"Dad, we're talking about buying you a house." Xiaoman didn't think about anything else, and subconsciously told the truth.
Su Qiyan's brows furrowed even tighter, his face was a little worse, and he said stubbornly: "How many times have I said it, it's good that I live in Bishui Village, why don't you understand what I mean?" I don't want a house, I don't want anything. ”
Xiao Man leaned over slightly, and was about to speak, but before he could speak, he was pulled down by Lu Li.
She twisted her eyebrows and turned around, but saw Lu Li shaking her head lightly, signaling her not to say it with her eyes, Xiao Man bit her lip tightly, even if she was puzzled, she had to endure it and obediently return to her seat.
The room was quiet, Su Qi sat on the chair with a straight face and didn't speak, Xiaoman obediently landed next to him, and didn't dare to mention the matter of the house without the other party's signal, while the man sat upright, his back was straight, and the corners of his mouth had a hint of a smile, looking confident.
What is Lu Li's method?
"Squeak-"
When the room was quiet, the door was pushed open, Zhang Xiuqin walked in, beaming, she picked a random seat to sit down, "What did you just say, what do you want?" ”
I think it was Su Qi's voice that was so loud that Zhang Xiuqin outside heard it.
But Rao is like this, Xiaoman didn't want her to know about it.
She squeezed out a detached smile, ready to cover up the past with a casual lie: "It's nothing, it's just-"
"Xiaoman and I want to buy a house for our father-in-law." Lu Li interrupted Xiao Man's words, looked at Zhang Xiuqin with a smile, and said, "But my father-in-law prefers to live in Bishui Village, so he doesn't want a house in the city, Xiao Man is embarrassed about this matter." ”
Listening to the other party's bamboo tube pouring beans and telling everything, Xiao Man turned sideways and glared at Lu Li with a puzzled expression.
Zhang Xiuqin is an open-eyed person who sees money, why did she tell her about this? She didn't understand Lu Li's thoughts more and more.
"A house in the city?" Zhang Xiuqin's eyes widened, and she unconsciously leaned towards Xiao Man's side, her eyes glued to Xiao Man's body, "You want to buy your father a house in the city?" This dare is good, so that I don't have to run at both ends, or Xiaoman you have a heart. ”
As soon as the words fell, Su Qi's face over there was even worse, he snorted coldly angrily, and a basin of cold water was poured on Zhang Xiuqin, "Buy what to buy, I don't want it!" It's good for me to live in Bishui Village, if you don't think it's troublesome to run at both ends, then just live in Xiaoling's house! I'm at home on my own! ”
Without waiting for Xiaoman and the two to speak, Zhang Xiuqin took the lead in persuading him, "What are you talking about, it's better to live in the city than in Bishui Village, right?" This is a piece of filial piety for your daughter, how can you say no? ”
As she spoke, she said again: "You are old, how inconvenient it is to live alone, if you move to Taoyuan County, it is convenient for Xiaoling and I to take care of you." ”
In the next time, Zhang Xiuqin used various methods to persuade Su Qi to move to Taoyuan County, using both soft and hard measures, so that although Su Qi had not agreed, his attitude was not as resolute as before.
Xiao Man on the side looked at it blankly, and only remembered Lu Lilai for a while, she approached the man sideways, worshipping and laughing, and whispered: "You are smart."
Lu Li curled the corners of his lips and gave her a smug smile.
He doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he doesn't have much to do with the affairs of the Su family, but he doesn't think he needs to know much about Zhang Xiuqin and Su Xiaoling.
If Zhang Xiuqin knew that Xiaoman wanted to buy a house for Su Qi, and Su Qi refused without thinking about it, then could she still sit in peace? On the surface, Su Qi is very impatient with Zhang Xiuqin, but in fact, Su Qi still relies on Zhang Xiuqin very much.
This time, Zhang Xiuqin can persuade Su Qi, which must be better than Xiaoman's personal battle.
"Don't say it, don't say it, it's annoying." Su Qi stood up suddenly, twisted his eyebrows and walked straight out.
Zhang Xiuqin slapped her thigh angrily, "What kind of person is this, we are not all for his good, look at him like this, as if we are harming him!" ”
After complaining a few words, Zhang Xiuqin's eyes rolled, and she squeezed to Xiao Man's side with a smile, with a hint of flattery in her eyes, "Xiao Man, your father is old, and many things are not well thought out, and I will persuade him in two days, don't be angry, your father has such a temper." ”
Seeing that Zhang Xiuqin was getting closer and closer to him, Xiao Man was a little uncomfortable and dodged, and said a little reluctantly: "I know, then I bother you to persuade him more." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely persuade your father." Zhang Xiuqin agreed quite happily, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, which shows how happy she is.
The two were talking, and the guy outside came to urge, saying that there were more guests outside, and asked Zhang Xiuqin to go out to help greet him.
Zhang Xiuqin answered with a loud voice, and then seized the time to talk to Xiaoman for a while, to the effect that she must not be angry with Su Qi, she would definitely persuade Su Qi to agree to this matter, until the guy outside urged again, she hurriedly got up and trotted out to help greet the guests.
The door was shut, and the room was quiet again.
Xiao Man's smile on the corner of her mouth could finally be stopped, she sighed, looked at the direction of the door, and said with some concern: "I always feel a little awkward to let her do this." ”
"What's awkward? Afraid that she will keep the deed for herself? Lu Li said bluntly.
Hearing this, Xiao Man retracted his gaze, bit his lower lip and thought about it, and then nodded seriously, "I'm a little afraid." ”
According to her various impressions of Zhang Xiuqin in the past, it is not that she can't do such a thing, but after coming back this time, she faintly feels that Zhang Xiuqin has changed a little, and she is probably rich, so she is not as careless as before? But that's not right.
Xiaoman never noticed that something was wrong, the pimple in her heart was getting bigger and bigger, and she became more and more panicked.
"Don't be afraid, we can test the temptation first." Lu Li got up, pulled Xiao Man up, leaned closer, and said softly; "Didn't Su Xiaoling still owe you two hundred taels of silver? Use this temptation to test and see what kind of attitude Zhang Xiuqin has. ”
She frowned slightly, and thought for a long time before nodding, "Okay, just do as you say." ”
When she lent Su Xiaoling the silver, she didn't think about asking the other party to pay it back, the IOU and Xia Wanrou's warning, but it was just to urge them to make money as soon as possible, so as not to sit on the empty side, and wait until the two hundred taels were spent, and go to Beijing again to ask for her help.
Now it seems that she said that it was indeed a good idea to ask the other party to make an IOU. Xiaoling's business is so prosperous, two hundred taels should have earned enough.
Urging her to repay the money now shouldn't be too much, right? As long as she takes out the IOU, it will be useless even if she wants to repay the debt.
Suddenly, Xiao Man suddenly remembered something, she lowered her voice, with a little panic: "It's happened!" I didn't bring out the IOU when I went out this time! ”
Without an IOU, Xiaoling will definitely not pay back the money willingly!
When she was worried, the door was opened, and Xiao Ling stood outside the door with a smile, "Sister, lunch is ready, let's go eat first, shall we?" ”
Lu Li hurriedly responded: "Got it, let's go over." ”
After speaking, he took Xiao Man's hand and gently squeezed it twice, signaling her not to worry.
Although Xiaoman never thought about asking Xiaoling to repay the money, but now that the IOU has been lost, there is no way to test Xiaoling and Zhang Xiuqin's attitude, so wouldn't the matter of buying a house for his father have to be delayed again? Xiao Man unconsciously tightened his eyebrows, and followed Lu Li absentmindedly, looking preoccupied.
Until he arrived at the dining room of Xiaoling's new house, Xiaoman still couldn't raise his interest.
"Xiaoman, what's wrong with you?" Su Qi noticed that something was wrong with her, and was the first to ask: "What are you thinking, you are worried, is something wrong?" ”
Without waiting for the party to speak, Zhang Xiuqin next to her sighed lightly, and said: "What else can you worry about, you want to honor your elders, but people don't accept it." Hey, if this is going to happen to me, I'm going to be very worried. ”
Su Qi glared at her angrily, "What nonsense is yours!" ”
