Chapter 149: Young Master Xu's Ambition
"Master!" Mrs. Xu exclaimed, and immediately said to Butler Xu, "Quick, go and ask for the doctor."
Butler Xu did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran out of the study room.
This time my master fainted was obviously different from the previous time. It would be a problem for a good person to spit out a mouthful of blood, not to mention that my master was already weak.
Xu Shunqing on the side was completely stunned. Unexpectedly, the old man vomited blood and passed out again.
Not only that, he found that the paper on the bed looked familiar, so he reached out and picked it up.
When I saw the content clearly, I was shocked and threw it on the bed in a hurry.
Little did he expect that what made the old man vomit blood was actually the IOU he wrote to Jiqing Gambling House.
If he hadn't suddenly seen this IOU, he almost forgot that the guy from Jiqing Gambling House came with him to Xu's house.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Shunqing said: "Mom, you see, dad has passed out. The Xu family can't be left without an owner for a day. Why don't you give me the key to the family, and I will take charge of the Xu family for dad for the time being."
"Shut up, your father is so angry with you and you still dare to mention this matter." Mrs. Xu scolded.
Xu Shunqing said: "Mom, I am doing this for the good of the Xu family. Now our Xu family is in trouble internally and externally, and my father is like this. It's okay if there is no one in the family to take charge."
Mrs. Xu looked thoughtful.
I think what my son said is reasonable. If the master is gone, there will always be someone in charge of the family. If my son is not in charge of the family, he will have to take advantage of other people in the house.
After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Xu said: "Qing'er, it's not that mother doesn't want you to run the house, it's just that I don't know where your father keeps the key."
"It's not easy to find the key that dad left behind." Xu Shunqing said happily, "Look for Butler Xu. He has been with dad for so many years, so he must know where the key is."
The reason why it is so clear that he took the Xujiazhuang land deed and the land deed to Jiqing Gambling House was the idea given to him by Butler Xu, otherwise he would not have known where such important things as the land deed and land deed were placed.
"Okay, when Butler Xu comes back, I'll ask him to give you the key." Mrs. Xu said.
"Butler Xu is probably not far away. I'm going to chase him back." Xu Shunqing couldn't wait to find Butler Xu and ask for the key to the house.
Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows and said: "Housekeeper Xu is going to ask the doctor to see the master. Even if you are anxious to get the key, you are not in a hurry now. Besides, the master is so ill. If your son doesn't stay with you, do you want to go?"
where?"
Xu Shunqing glanced at the door of the study room, then at Xu Youcai lying on the bed, and said helplessly: "Okay, listen to me, the baby stays."
"That's right. When the master wakes up, you can say a few nice words and admit his mistake. There is no unbreakable hatred between father and son." Mrs. Xu gave instructions.
Turning back, she noticed the white paper on the bed out of the corner of her eye. The old man vomited blood and fainted after seeing the content on it.
Thinking of this, she reached out and picked up the white paper.
"I want to see what's written on it. It actually makes the master angry and vomits blood." As she said this, Mrs. Xu looked at the content on the white paper.
"Mom, I have something else to do. I'm leaving first." When Xu Shunqing saw that the IOU had fallen into the hands of her mother, she dared not keep it. She hurriedly escaped from the study without waiting for Mrs. Xu's consent.
Mrs. Xu on the other side, after reading the content written on the white paper word by word, her face turned cold and she immediately understood why the master was so angry that he vomited blood.
It was all because of that unfilial son. Not only was it not enough to sell the land and land deeds, he actually owed the gambling house five hundred taels of silver.
Mrs. Xu held the white paper tightly with her fingers.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Shunqing had already ran out of the study. Mrs. Xu couldn't find anyone even if she wanted to get angry.
Holding the white paper in her hand, Mrs. Xu said with a cold face: "Chunxi, go to my room to get five hundred taels of silver, and see if the people from Jiqing Gambling House in the yard have left. If not, give the money to him.
, and then drive people away.”
"Yes, madam." Chunxi, the maid next to Mrs. Xu, agreed and turned to leave.
When Xu Shunqing came out of the study, he did not go back to his room, but walked towards the front door of Xu's house.
As he walked, he muttered to himself: "Isn't it just five hundred taels of silver? As for being so angry that you vomit blood, it's really useless. I'd rather die. I can take over the Xu family as soon as possible, and I won't have to watch it anymore."
That old guy’s face.”
"Young master, where are you going?" Wang San walked out of the concierge and stopped Xu Shunqing who was about to leave.
"You haven't left yet!" Xu Shunqing frowned.
Wang Sanxi said cruelly: "Young master, you owe five hundred taels to our gambling house. The IOU was taken away by the housekeeper of your house, but the money has not been given, so of course I can't leave."
"Bad luck." Xu Shunqing said, "If it weren't for your IOU, our old man wouldn't be so angry that he vomited blood, so he should get out of here."
An impatient look on his face.
Wang San licked his lips and said, "The young master wants to default on the debt. No one has ever been able to default on the debt of our Jiqing Gambling House."
"What? Do you still want to take action?" Xu Shunqing crossed his shoulders and took a step back with a wary expression.
"Young men don't dare to do anything. I just want to collect the debt." Wang San said, "But the eldest young master should have seen how our Jiqing Gambling House dealt with those guys who didn't pay back money. I think the eldest young master doesn't want to lose an arm or a limb."
Legs."
Xu Shunqing seemed to have thought of something, his body trembled and his face turned pale.
"I didn't say I wouldn't pay you back your money."
"Then bring it!" Wang San stretched out his hand and said, "The Xu family has a big business, and a little money flowing out from the fingers is enough for this small amount of money."
Xu Shunqing stuttered and said, "Young Master Benben has no money now."
"Young master, you said that you would become the head of the Xu family immediately, and asked me to come with you to the Xu family to get money. When I came, I also asked the housekeeper to take away the IOU. Now you tell me
I don’t have any money, I’m afraid it’s hard to explain!” Wang San narrowed his eyes.
Xu Shunqing bit his lip and said: "There is none now, but there will be soon. When I take over the Xu family, I will be able to come up with not just five hundred taels, but seven hundred taels and one thousand taels."
"The small one doesn't need seven hundred taels or one thousand taels, just five hundred taels." Wang San made a slap with his hand.
Xu Shunqing said: "Didn't I say that when I take over the Xu family, your five hundred taels of silver will be indispensable for me."
"Master, you are here!" Chunxi ran over panting, holding a cloth bag in her arms.
Xu Shunqing turned around and saw Chunxi running over. She frowned and said, "Chunxi, why are you here? Tell my mother that I won't go back."
"No." Chunxi shook her head vigorously and said, "Madam asked me to return the five hundred taels of silver to the people in Jiqing Gambling House."
"What? My mother paid back the money for me." Xu Shunqing said with surprise, "Where is the money?"
Chunxi handed over the cloth bag.
Xu Shunqing took it, opened it, took a look, and threw it to Wang San, saying proudly: "Take it, I will not miss this little money from your gambling shop."
"Okay, Mr. Xu, you are so generous." Wang San took the cloth bag and weighed it with his hands.
Xu Shunqing looked at Wang San sideways and said, "Do you want me to find you a scale and weigh you?"
"The younger one is more trustworthy than the eldest young master." Wang San said with a smile.
"Why don't you go away? I'm waiting for you to eat!" Xu Shunqing glared.
