Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

The moment those words left his mouth, Qin Huairu tugged at him.

Clearly, Qin Huairu either didn't want to spend money, or she didn't want her mother-in-law to come out.

"Stop thinking about these useless things!" Zhao said. "This is just a notification; we won't be going to your institute to inform you anymore. The relevant documents will be issued soon!"

"You... should leave!"

He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu walked out of the discharge station.

He Yuzhu asked, "Sister, why did you pull me just now?"

Qin Huairu said, "My mother-in-law is a bit of a liar, and she's always getting into trouble for us!"

"If you ask me, it would be good for her to study there for a while!"

He Yuzhu: …………

……

29. Jia Zhangshi went back inside, but no one felt sorry for her.

Even Qin Huairu's family was secretly pleased.

However, business at Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu's restaurant still wasn't doing well.

Now, a few people are coming to eat here, but they are mostly passersby; there are very few locals.

The restaurant is neither alive nor dead.

Business is slow, but it's still possible to keep it afloat without losing money.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to take it one step at a time, hoping that time would gradually heal all wounds.

She believes that as time goes by, people will gradually forget what her family did in the past, and they will definitely come back to the restaurant to eat one day.

Hey……

Sure enough, Qin Huairu guessed right.

Day after day passed.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Business at Qin Huairu's shop improved slightly starting in winter.

Although it's not as lively as before, you can still earn thirty or forty yuan a day.

After a month, you can make a net profit of 1,000 yuan.

Of course, this thousand yuan includes the wages for several members of their family.

If you deduct the labor costs, there's really no profit left.

Fortunately, they are a family working together, so as long as they get paid, that's fine.

"All right!"

A hint of joy appeared on Qin Huairu's face as she sat down in the shop and said, "Liu Aiguo still owes more than 10,000 yuan. Take this 3,500 yuan and use it to pay off Brother Jun's loan!"

As they were talking, Qin Huairu took out the only three thousand five hundred yuan left in the shop and gave it to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu asked, "Not leaving any?"

Qin Huairu said, "No need, the restaurant has enough food for several days. Once the turnover picks up in the next few days, we'll be able to start making a profit. Go and pay back the money!"

"okay!"

He Yuzhu took the money and rode his bicycle to find Brother Jun.

With more than ten days left until the agreed date, He Yuzhu has come to repay the loan ahead of schedule.

I'm just worried that if we go past the deadline, Brother Jun will try to renege on his promise.

It's the same place.

boom……

He Yuzhu propped up his bicycle and knocked on the door.

bang bang bang...

Soon a young man opened the door.

There were seven or eight motorcycles inside, and a dozen young people were fiddling with them, all of them looking at He Yuzhu.

"For what?"

"I...I'll go find Brother Jun and pay back the money!" He Yuzhu said with a forced smile. He knew that these people were notorious street thugs in Beijing and not to be trifled with.

"Go inside, to the second floor!"

He Yuzhu carefully made his way to the second floor.

Jun sneered, then personally poured He Yuzhu a glass of water, took out the IOU, and also pulled out an abacus.

They started calculating rapidly.

"No need to calculate!" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "I've already calculated it all. I lent you three thousand yuan at the time, with an interest rate of nine percent, so that's three thousand two hundred and seventy yuan this year. I'll give you three thousand three, and the rest is my way of thanking you!"

He Yuzhu handed over 3,300 yuan: "Brother Jun, I'm a trustworthy person, right? I've come to pay you back more than ten days in advance!"

Jun Ge still sneered.

Ignoring He Yuzhu's words, he continued to rapidly calculate with the abacus.

Soon, the results came out.

"Including principal and interest, it's a total of eight thousand four hundred and thirty-eight yuan. It was all introduced by acquaintances, so I'll round it down for you. Just give me eight thousand four hundred yuan!"

Jun Ge looked up and blew a smoke ring at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was stunned, then suddenly felt a chill and said, "How is that possible?"

"Nine percent interest? How could that be so much?"

"That's more than doubled!"

"Hehe..." Brother Jun said, "You don't believe me? Come on, let me calculate it for you!"

"In the first month, with an interest rate of nine percent, that's three thousand two hundred and seventy yuan."

"In the second month, Jiufeng's interest, including principal and interest, was 3564 yuan."

"In the third month, with an interest rate of nine percent, the total amount including principal and interest is 3885 yuan!"

"No, no..."

He Yuzhu's eyes were red: "It's not 9% monthly interest, it's annual interest. We agreed on 9% annual interest, when did it become monthly interest?"

Nine percent monthly interest? What's the difference between that and robbery?

"Really?"

Jun Ge said lazily, "Then could it be that I'm seeing things wrong? Come on, let me see!"

As he spoke, he took out the IOU contract and placed it in front of He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu stared wide-eyed and read it carefully.

[He Yuzhu borrowed 3000 yuan, with a repayment period of one year and a monthly interest rate of 9%...]

Below is He Yuzhu's signature, fingerprint, and handprint!

This……

He Yuzhu, take another look!

That's right, it's my own handwriting, and 377 is my own handprint.

But how is this possible?

After waiting for a while, He Yuzhu noticed something amiss: "No, no... the character 'moon' was added later. I remember it wasn't there at all!"

"Hehe..." Brother Jun said, "Don't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove it?"

"Without evidence, you're slandering me... slandering my brother Jun?"

"Heh... He Yuzhu, you don't even know what I do!"

"Old man, it's easy for you to die!"

Wow…

Below, seven or eight young men came upstairs carrying the bag and surrounded He Yuzhu.

Even a fool like He Yuzhu would realize at this point: it was a trap!

This is a trap.

It's an absolute trap.

Holy shit, Xu Damao, you bastard, you dare to scam me!

I'll beat you to death when I get back, you little bastard!

"I'll take the money now!" Brother Jun took the three thousand three hundred yuan. "But I'm still short five thousand one hundred. Of course, the time hasn't come yet."

"There are still more than ten days left, so take your time to raise the funds!"
