Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

Early the next morning.

Fang Wei excitedly changed into his gray cloth shirt and secretly applied some of his wife's clam oil.

If he can actually get the loan approved today, that will be the starting point for his future career, so he has to do it respectably!

Hopefully, Xu Rui's connections will actually be useful.

"Fang Wei, are you really going to town to find Xu Rui today?"

Wu Shaoli was preparing breakfast when she saw Fang Wei's excited expression and couldn't help but try to persuade him again.

"Honey, didn't we agree on this last night?"

Fang Wei walked over and touched her face, whispering, "Trust me, I will definitely earn this money back."

"You can go if you want."

Wu Shaoli knew she couldn't persuade him, so she could only say helplessly, "But you must promise me that you will be careful in whatever you do, and don't do anything foolish just because someone provokes you."

"Don't worry, your man isn't that stupid."

Seeing that the girls were not around, Fang Wei quickly kissed his wife's pretty face and said, "You just stay home and wait patiently."

Before Wu Shaoli could even lay a hand on him, he dashed into the yard.

"Da Ya, are you ready? We need to leave early, the town is far away!"

No one is going to town today, so they have to walk there.

"They're here!"

Daya responded from inside the house, wrapped the large pair of scissors in cloth, and stuffed them into her clothes.

Last night, that man suddenly said he wanted to take her to town alone today. I don't know what he said, but Mom actually agreed.

Thinking about Fang Wei's previous statement about selling Qi Ya, Daya felt very scared.

She didn't want to be sold, but she also didn't want to cry in front of that man, so if that man really intended to sell her, she would stab him to death with a pair of large scissors!

When Fang Wei saw that Da Ya stopped three or four steps away from him, he felt a pang of sadness.

This girl is only ten years old, but she always stares at him with a very wary look.

But what can he do now? It's all because of the mistakes he made before!

"Let's go."

Fang Wei didn't say anything more and stepped out of the courtyard gate.

Daya quickly followed.

……

It took almost an hour to get to town.

Fang Wei deliberately slowed down, worried that Daya was too young to keep up.

But the girl walked much faster than him; her two thin legs seemed to be wound up like clockwork, clattering forward.

"Da Ya, are you thirsty?"

Fang Wei handed the kettle to his daughter, saying, "This is some sugar water for you. Your mother filled it for you."

Only after hearing the second half of his sentence did Daya take the water bottle and start drinking. After finishing, she returned the bottle to him and continued walking forward with her head down.

Are you hungry?

After walking another half mile, Fang Wei pulled a large flatbread out of his pocket and couldn't help but ask, "Did your mother make this?"

He felt really embarrassed.

He had originally intended to take this opportunity to go out together and ease the tension between himself and his eldest daughter, but he had absolutely no idea what to say!

Why did you suddenly take me to town?

Da Ya suddenly stopped and asked a question out of the blue.

"what?"

Fang Wei was stunned for a moment. He couldn't very well say, "Dad has reformed and wants to be a good father. Don't hate Dad so much anymore." The girl simply wouldn't believe him if he said that!

"Dad just wants...you to go and see it."

He said dryly, "Aren't you the eldest in the family? Your father is thinking about important family matters, you should know something about it."

Holy crap! What is he even saying?!

"..."

Daya glanced at Fang Wei silently, then lowered her head and continued walking forward.

It would be best if it were really as he said!

……

The town's credit union is right next to the street office. It's a three-story building painted white, with a sign hanging at the entrance.

When Fang Wei arrived, Xu Rui was already waiting at the door.

When he saw that Fang Wei actually dared to come today, and even brought a thin, pale-faced little girl, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Fang Wei, I thought you were too scared to come!"

Xu Rui looked at Fang Wei with a forced smile, "Why did you bring a little girl with you? Are you relying on her for courage?"

"Watch your tone, this is my eldest daughter."

Fang Wei made a grim face and took the opportunity to hold Da Ya's little hand.

Daya didn't struggle. Even in a place she wasn't very familiar with, she would still instinctively feel close to her family.

And this well-dressed man in front of me has such an annoying smile! Just like the big black dog in the village that chases people and bites them!

"Let's go, I've already made arrangements."

Xu Rui didn't bother to say anything more to this gambler and turned to walk into the credit union.

"I know Director Lin very well, and I've already spoken to him about the loan."

"Don't worry, the funding will definitely be approved!"

You gambling addict, be prepared to spend the rest of your life paying off your debts!

"..."

Fang Wei's face darkened further, but he sneered inwardly.

That bastard really went to great lengths to push him into the fire!

However, it's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; who will be the real winner is still uncertain!

Inside the credit union, two staff members were sitting behind the counter.

Xu Rui led Fang Wei directly into the office next door, where a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting, drinking tea from an enamel mug.

"Director Lin, this is the person I told you about yesterday."

As soon as Xu Rui opened his mouth, he immediately put a big accusation on Fang Wei's head.

"He actively responded to the country's call and took the lead in contracting the village's old forest farm, setting a good example for other villagers."

"Moreover, he has seven daughters in his family, so they are indeed facing considerable difficulties. That's why I told you about..."

Director Lin waved his hand and carefully examined Fang Wei.

Wearing a tattered gray shirt, trousers that were almost frayed from washing, and old-fashioned canvas shoes, he didn't look like someone who could pay back his debts.

"Director Xu, it's not that I'm not giving you face."

Director Lin put down the enamel jar, frowned, and said, "You know how loans are; they require collateral and a repayment plan."

"But your friend's situation is really not very predictable."

Ok?

Xu Rui's expression froze for a moment; this wasn't what they had agreed on yesterday!

He went through all that trouble to get to Laotang Village, waving his flag and trying to provoke Fang Wei, only to be stuck at the credit union?!

"Director Lin, could you please take another look?"

Xu Rui was unwilling to give up, so he walked to Director Lin's side and whispered.

"Our subdistrict office can guarantee this project. This is a good thing to support the county's household contract responsibility system. I will definitely write a report to the county later."
