Seeing Qi Yu's urging gaze, Yin Tao hurriedly explained: "This morning, I went to the vegetable market to buy supplements for you to make porridge. On the way, I happened to meet the old lady and your brother-in-law. Unexpectedly Yes, they actually had an argument in a corner. Out of curiosity, I hid aside and eavesdropped a few words in the dark."
Qi Yu frowned and said, "What do you mean, my brother-in-law's attitude is not very good?"
Yin Tao smiled and said: "Since there is a dispute between two parties, how can there be a good attitude? I think their attitude is a bit like a quarrel between neighbors, not light but not serious either."
not heavy?
That's not OK!
Qi Yu's face turned cold and he said displeasedly: "How dare you, Sun Dacai, be disrespectful to the old lady? Hmph, are you tired of living a good life?"
Seeing that his anger was getting stronger, Yin Tao hurriedly comforted him: "Don't get angry first, listen to what I have to say first!" After that, she explained: "Based on what they said at that time, it seems that our old lady It’s the unreasonable party.”
Qi Yu was stunned and said, "You mean, my mother is... being unreasonable?"
"Well, that's pretty much what it means." Yin Tao nodded first, then opened her lips and said, "I heard your brother-in-law mutter that the old lady seemed to have lent him some money, and then she didn't want to pay it back. But your brother-in-law said that the old lady is very rich, but she just doesn’t want to pay..."
Is my mother very rich?
That’s weird!
Qi Yu didn't believe it at all.
His thoughts were wandering on another channel: Something strange happened, and the family was not short of money. How could my mother go to her brother-in-law to borrow money privately?
Could it be that she encountered some difficulties?
That's not right. Everything is going as usual at home, and you have yourself as the boss in charge. If that's the case, how can there be any difficulties?
Eh~~
Could it be...
Qi Yu thought about it carefully and seemed to get the outline of it.
The investment in the 'Lao Gan Niang' factory at that time was by no means a small sum of three melons and two dates. Even a rough estimate would have cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Otherwise, it won't work at all.
However, at that time, I did not ask for money from my family or myself. So, where did she get the money?
Haha, there are very few ways for me to ask for money, except myself and my brother-in-law. Eighty percent of it, her brother-in-law gave her the money to open the factory.
It should be close.
Qi Yu only took a moment to figure out the clues.
He was basically certain that his family probably owed his brother-in-law investment money.
So, do you want to exchange this money?
of course yes!
As the saying goes, a father's debt must be repaid by his son; similarly, a mother's debt must be repaid by her son. Paying back debts is a matter of course and there is really no excuse for it.
Maybe someone has said that we are not outsiders, so why bother with each other? In terms of relationships, it means breaking bones and connecting tendons. Even if he doesn't pay back, can Sun Dacai still jump three feet high?
We don't care whether he jumps or not. At the moment, we just talk about things.
As the saying goes, if brothers settle accounts clearly, even if the sale fails, the relationship will still be as strong as iron. But if you don't repay the borrowed money, it will be a bit embarrassing. Not only will you be hurt, but it will also affect the relationship of the next generation.
Therefore, as long as you borrow it from someone else, you have to find a way to pay it back, and don't use any random excuses to cheat.
This is character and morality, and it must not be messed up.
Almost without thinking, Qi Yu stated decisively: "Although my brother-in-law has benefited from me, I can't ignore him just because I take care of him. All the money my mother borrowed from him will be repaid by the Qi family." , don’t be unhappy because of some money.”
After hearing this, Liu Quan said worriedly: "Although our family has a comfortable life, we can't afford that much at the moment..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qi Yu interrupted: "A gentleman does something and doesn't do something. Even if you end up living in poverty, it's better than having no credit." After a pause, he said with some twists and turns. He said in a tone of voice: "As for how to retaliate, let me think about it for a while."
"Um……"
Regarding his concept, the two women did not have the same views.
It can be said that everyone insists on his own opinion.
Yin Tao felt that Sun Dacai gradually developed through the relationship between our Qi family. In terms of human relations, he should let our Qi family do everything.
Without the help of our Qi family, he would still be working as a poor man! Even if the old lady lent him a small amount of money, it must be regarded as "mutual assistance" between relatives. Since it was help, how could she be so shameless as to ask for it?
Liu Quan believes that money matters must not be ambiguous.
As the saying goes, if you borrow something, you must repay it. It is not difficult to borrow again. As a person, you must pay attention to the integrity of borrowing and repaying. If the relationship between relatives is broken down because of some money, it would be a big joke that would make people laugh. And more importantly, this kind of thing is very detrimental to the husband's reputation and should be avoided as much as possible.
Seeing the two of them chattering incessantly, Qi Yu quickly put down his hand and said: "For some trivial money, there is really no need to waste your time like this. Let's just let this matter go. Don't discuss it any more. I think it's better to talk more. It’s better to talk about interesting things.”
oh? Interesting things?
Yin Tao smiled knowingly when he heard this, and said politely: "Brother Shaocheng, let's talk about something else now. What do you think of the meat in this porridge? Does it taste good to you?"
This meat?
Hey, I didn’t even see what kind of meat it was?
Qi Yu stirred it up with chopsticks, then fished it out, only to find that a piece of columnar meat the size of a thumb had been fished out. He couldn't help but said in shock: "What the hell is this..."
Yin Tao glanced at Liu Quan, then smiled and said back to him: "Don't worry about what it is, as long as it tastes good."
Upon hearing this, Qi Dalang immediately became nervous.
Last night, I had just finished enjoying the so-called tonic. If I didn't take a rest and then had a big hard dish, wouldn't I be deliberately looking for embarrassment?
Gee, this is just adding fuel to the fire!
While he was in embarrassment, he suddenly saw a Yamen servant coming to report. He said: "I would like to inform you, Mr. Qi, that there are joint naval forces from Great Britain and Valois visiting you at the moment. They stabbed you and said that they have received you." The invitation came in a friendly manner, not a sudden military invasion. Well, they emphasized it again and again."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu let go of his chopsticks and asked quickly: "Then, where are they now?"
The officer hurriedly replied: "At present, they are still lingering in the offshore area, traveling in circuitous ways. If we wait for our permission, they can land and dock."
"Yeah! Well done, very rigorous."
After giving the compliments, Qi Yu hurriedly ordered: "Go and prepare your horses quickly. I will go to the dock in person to 'greet' the foreign guests from afar."
What? Sir, do you want to go in person?
oh……
The officer was startled, then hurriedly responded: "Yes!"
