Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Qin Huairu frowned and looked at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu's face turned ashen: He had never seen anyone ask for interest on a loan before.

Isn’t this too shameless?

"Of course!" Xiao Long said, "We also need a few old men from the courtyard to come and be witnesses!"

He Yuzhu's face darkened even more.

Even Qin Huairu has turned dark.

This is ridiculous! We're borrowing money from a little kid, and we have to have everyone in the compound come and witness it.

Don't I have any shame?

How embarrassing!

Besides, if I borrow money from Liu Aiguo and don't pay it back when the due date comes, what can he do to me?

But if you borrow money from a child and don't repay it when it's due, that's a different story.

People will follow your lead.

"Patriotism!" Qin Huairu still tried to bypass Xiaolong.

Liu Aiguo smiled and said, "Alright, you can talk to the kids. When I lend money in Hong Kong, the interest rate is usually 20% per year. If you don't believe me, ask Lao Lou. He used to lend money at high interest rates in Hong Kong!"

These words completely shut Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu up.

The two slunk away.

After she left, Yu Li's face lit up with a smile: "Xiao Long, you child... you can't do that again!"

Xiaolong made a face: "Okay, Mom!"

……

After leaving Liu Aiguo's house, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu turned back with disappointment, glanced at Liu Aiguo's door again, and felt a mix of emotions.

rich!

I'm not lending it to you!

And you don't even have the opportunity to borrow money.

Ugh……

"Hmph..." He Yuzhu stomped his feet in anger: "This Liu Aiguo... is going too far!"

"That brat!"

When they got home, after hearing He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu's account, Jia Zhangshi was so angry she jumped up and down: "You brat, they have so much money, what's wrong with lending us only five thousand yuan?"

"It's not like we're not going to pay him back!"

Madam Jia said angrily, "I was originally planning to pay him back, but don't let me borrow any more money from them in the future, or I will definitely not pay them back!"

"Alright, Mom..." Qin Huairu said, "If someone doesn't want to lend you their money, what can you do about it?"

"Then what should we do?" Jia Zhangshi said, "We still need to keep the restaurant open!"

"Why don't we go ask Yi Zhonghai!" Madam Jia said. "He slept with us for more than half a year back then, and you served him quite a bit..."

At this point, Qin Huairu stiffened, her face turning extremely pale: "Mom... what are you saying? The children are here, how can you talk nonsense?"

When the child was younger, Jia Zhangshi would always bring this up and complain...

But now the kids are all grown up and understand everything.

"Hmph..." Madam Jia sat down angrily without saying a word.

He Yuzhu said, "Don't ask anymore. Uncle Yi's family is definitely broke... Uncle San's money has also been squandered... Now, the only people in the compound who have money, besides Liu Aiguo, are Uncle Er, Yan Jiecheng, and Xu Damao!"

Uncle Er is easy to talk to!

Their sons both work in a TV factory, and Uncle Er's salary used to be quite high.

It's not a big deal if the family gives them ten or twenty thousand.

After all, the Jia family used to have 10,000 yuan.

As for Yan Jiecheng, this guy also owns a restaurant, and it's said he's made quite a bit of money in the past two years.

Xu Damao's situation is easier to understand. His former father-in-law gave him tens of thousands of yuan, which Xu Damao originally did not intend to reveal, but Director Lou deliberately told everyone.

The meaning is clear: My Lou family will no longer owe you anything.

"How about..." Qin Huairu said, "we ask Uncle Er and Xu Damao to borrow some from each of them?"

He Yuzhu pulled out a Daqianmen cigarette and took a deep drag.

"Forget it!" He Yuzhu said, "Who is Xu Damao? He wishes we were dead... That selfish bastard Erda, who would abandon even his own son, would he lend me money? He wouldn't even lend money to his own son!"

"What should we do then?" Qin Huairu was at her wit's end.

But Jia Zhangshi said from the side, "Hey... Shazhu, I remember your sister has been doing quite well these past few years, hasn't she?"

"She should have some money on her?"

"And your dad, Lao He... Lao He is rich too..."

"Go ask your dad and your sister for some money. Don't worry, our restaurant will pay back its investment quickly. By next year, we'll definitely have paid them back in full!"

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up again.

Not bad!

He Yuzhu still has two people to rely on!

He Yuzhu said, "Okay... I'll go take a look tomorrow, Banggeng will come with me!"

"Oh, oh, oh..." Bang Geng came to his senses in a daze.

Qin Huairu asked, "Silly boy, what are you thinking about?"

"Mom...you said Xiaolong actually has more than 20,000 yuan, all in a box, and that box isn't even locked?"

Chapter 170 The Glorious Moment of the Jia Family!

"You child?"

Qin Huairu reached out and pinched her son Banggeng's ear hard, saying, "What are you thinking about?"

"Let me tell you, I spent over ten thousand last time you went in... Don't cause me any more trouble this time. From now on, never touch this kind of thing again!"

He Yuzhu also said, "That's right, Banggeng, you need to learn a skill. Learning to be a cook from me would be a good choice!"

"Humph……"

With a dark expression, Jia Zhangshi said, "More than ten thousand, wasn't it all the work of that TV factory?"

"That Liu Aiguo deserves to die, his whole family deserves to die... If my grandson can get his 20,000 yuan, it will be perfect compensation for our family. We can't call this stealing!"

Jia Zhangshi spoke with great conviction.

Deep down, she felt she wasn't stealing.

Qin Huairu was too lazy to argue with her and said directly, "Bang Geng, you remember this: never steal again. You're my son. If you steal again, you won't even be able to find a wife in the future!"

"Ugh……"

When this issue came up, Qin Huairu couldn't help but sigh, and then her gaze turned to her two daughters.

In the past, although Bang Geng had a bad reputation, his two daughters were alright.

Now look what's happened; both daughters' reputations are ruined too.

It's been more than half a year, and not a single matchmaker has come to visit.

This……

Bang Geng is almost twenty-five years old.

It's really worrying.

"Mom..." Qin Huairu said, "When you have time, go find a matchmaker and ask them to introduce Banggeng to a relative. It's not good for him to be so old and still not have a wife!"

"Hmm!" Grandma Jia said, "Don't worry, we're not afraid. We're city people, what are we afraid of? If we really can't find one, we'll just go to the countryside and find one..."

"This……"

At that moment, Qin Huairu suddenly felt as if she had been deeply struck by a violent blow.

Could it be that Jia Dongxu also had a bad reputation and couldn't find a wife, so he went to the village to look for one, and I just happened to be there?

This……

Damn it...

It's possible!

But now is not the time to think about that.

My mother-in-law is right. If we really can't find a wife, we can go back to the countryside and find one.

The problem now is: how to get the money to open a restaurant.
