Chapter Seventy-Seven: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Uncle Xiao and Gu Shaoting came back after dark, and I went to the door of the coffin shop several times to see before finally waiting for them.
It's just that when he went out, Gu Shaoting drove the car to send his uncle there, but when he came back, the car was gone, and the two of them came back on foot, and Gu Shaoting was still holding a wooden box in his hand.
The little uncle lowered his head and looked very depressed.
"Uncle, Shaoting, how's it going? Is Boss Hu willing to give some grace? "I inquire with concern.
"It's okay, Anzhi, the problem is solved." Gu Shaoting smiled at me.
Looking at their completely different expressions, I was a little confused.
"It's all settled? How was it solved? "I brought my uncle in, it was windy outside, and I was afraid that they would freeze.
When the little uncle heard me ask, his hanging head was finally raised, his lips were a little chapped, and he opened his mouth and said: "Shaoting paid back the account, although he wanted to return the money in advance, Boss Hu didn't take interest from me, but the principal was also two thousand oceans, Shaoting, I don't have any business in this coffin shop, and now there are wars outside every day, and there are many dead, but there are not many people who order coffins." ”
What my uncle said is not wrong, it would be good to be able to save his life now, who will pay this money for ordinary people?
Not to mention a moment and a half, even if it is given a few years, it may not be able to be repaid in full.
Gu Shaoting didn't think so, smiled and said, those deposit notes of his stay with him are just a piece of paper, as for the car, return to Beijing and report to his master, let's not take it to heart.
I was silent, like my uncle, I don't like to owe others, not to mention that Gu Shaoting took good care of us before, and now I have advanced two thousand oceans, which is like pressing a stone on my heart.
Although I didn't say anything at the moment, I went out early the next morning, holding the blood jade that Long Xuanling gave me, and quietly went out to find a pawnshop.
In this situation, I can only do this, return the money to Gu Shaoting first, and then let him return to Beijing.
It's just that every household in Pingcheng is closed, there are several pawnshops, and there is only one left, and the shopkeeper can't put down this piece of blood jade, but at the moment, he can only give me a hundred oceans, which is far from the price in my heart.
I don't want to owe Long Xuanling, and I can't pay back Gu Shaoting's money.
Therefore, in the end, I carefully put away this piece of blood jade, and when the boss saw that I was leaving, he added another fifty oceans, and said that it was the last concession.
I shook my head, took the jade back, and when I arrived at the coffin shop, I saw Gu Shaoting sitting in the corridor in the backyard, looking up at the dark sky.
"Where have you been?" Hearing footsteps, he looked back at me.
"I'll go out for a walk." I smiled awkwardly.
"I'm going back to Deepavali tomorrow, you?" He paused, not finishing.
However, I already understood what he meant, he hoped that I could stay in the Deeper Pavilion, but now that I have returned, Gu Shaoting doesn't know if I am willing to follow him.
"I'll go back with you." I said without thinking.
Gu Shaoting was stunned for a moment, and looked at me with a little surprise: "If it's for those oceans, it's not necessary, friends, it's not comparable to those vulgar things." ”
"No, I'm not just here for this, my little uncle is now recovering from a serious illness, and our family can't sit here and eat nothing, I, I?" I'm a little embarrassed to say it.
When I went out with Gu Shaoting to catch demons before, I heard Yu Chi say that they cost a lot of money to catch demons, and those who take the demon slaying order can get one percent, which is now a way for me to live, which can not only repay Gu Shaoting's money, but also subsidize my little uncle.
