When the two men returned home, they tacitly agreed not to mention this matter to Ma Chunfang.
Xu Yin didn't mention it, because she felt that her mother's reaction was probably the same as her father's, maybe even more exaggerated than her father's. The regreening plan of the abandoned mine did not conflict with the family's sesame cake business, so for the sake of family harmony, it was better not to mention it.
Xu Wuyi didn't dare to mention it for fear that his wife would go crazy.
He almost rolled his eyes when he learned that his daughter spent 140,000 yuan to buy...oh, not just to buy, but to contract an abandoned mine. His wife's reaction would only be greater than his.
Ma Chunfang was worried about the two men, so she closed the shop early and went home: "Didn't you say that the factory director is looking for you? What is going on?"
"No, it's nothing."
"I call you to the factory when I have nothing to do, and it delays our business. Isn't this unhealthy?"
"..."
Ma Chunfang hadn't washed her sheets and quilt covers for a long time. Since she closed the shop early and went home, she took off the quilt covers and sheets from her and her son's beds, took them downstairs and went to the patio to wash them. The sheets and quilt covers in her daughter's room were washed.
He is much more diligent than her, so she doesn't have to worry about it at all.
As soon as Xu Wu waited for her to go out, he let out a long breath and pointed at his daughter: "Sooner or later, your father will have a heart attack because of your scare."
Xu Yin couldn't help laughing: "Dad, in a few years, you will be happy for what we did today."
"Pull him down! Don't scare me anymore, I'll thank God." Xu's father touched his heart, "I'm serious, daughter, don't do this in the future, 140,000... is too scary! I can't even borrow it now.
Now that the contract has been signed, there is no way to withdraw it, so this is the only way. How much money does the family have in total? Anyway, it’s all in your hands. Why don’t you take it and pay back part of it first? You can pay back as much as you can. I’ll give you the rest.
If you, your mother, and your uncle work hard from now on, you can always pay off..."
Xu Yin was a little moved: "Dad, don't worry, I can handle it. Everything at home will remain as usual, there will be no impact."
What else did Father Xu want to say? Ma Chunfang is back.
"Your Aunt Zhang wants to buy two bars of soap, one for washing clothes and one for bathing. Here, the money is on the table."
As she said that, she put down the money and excitedly went to the bathroom storage compartment to get two unopened laundry soaps and toilet soap. She passed by the restaurant and gave the father and daughter a strange look.
"What are you two doing here? Yinyin, aren't you going to pick up Xiaoxiao today? Forget it, let him come back by himself. You can cook, I might come up later. They are having a great time listening to them chatting! No.
Do you know who the culprit actually contracted the abandoned mine in the factory? I heard it cost a total of 140,000... Darling! I really have too much money and no place to spend it. I want an abandoned mine that has nothing to do with it... Tsk, no.
You know which family’s prodigal son he is..."
Ma Chunfang was anxious to go to the patio to listen to the gossip, took the soap and hurried downstairs.
Father and daughter looked at each other.
"If your mother knew that the prodigal son was in our house..."
"Then it's better not to let her know."
"..."
But the factory office did not deliberately hide this matter. The last group of laid-off workers often went to the factory office to ask when their last month's wages would be paid. They didn't find out about the wages, but they did find out that they spent 140,000 yuan to contract the abandoned mine.
The prodigal, the one who got taken advantage of was Lao Xu's daughter.
When Ma Chunfang found out, she went crazy.
"Oh my God! A few days ago, I was telling people who raised a prodigal son. He didn't regard money as money. He contracted an abandoned mine for 140,000 yuan, and after working on it for a long time, it turned out to be mine? Oops.
Feed my heart... my lungs... I'm going to explode!"
"Daughter-in-law, wife, please calm down..."
"How do you want me to calm down? Ah? Xu Wuyi, you are getting more and more courageous. The last time the factory director asked you to go was just for this matter, right? You didn't say a word when you came back. You two sold it out of the gourd.
I don’t care what kind of medicine it is, but I should never waste my family’s money..."
"I didn't take any money from the family."
Xu Yin took out the money box and account book and showed them to her parents:
"My family's money hasn't been touched at all. I borrowed the money to contract the abandoned mine myself, and I pay it back myself."
When Ma Chunfang saw that the money was there, she lost a lot of her anger, but when she thought that it was a huge sum of 140,000 yuan, she couldn't help but howled: "One hundred and forty thousand yuan! Oh my God! It takes only the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month to pay it off.
ah!"
"..."
"Tell me, what are you, a girl, thinking about? Why do you spend so much money to contract an abandoned mining area? What are you trying to do? You are not too old to say that you are too young. I originally wanted to wait until you were ten years old.
Eight, here is the one you want to meet. There is an old lady in the government compound who often comes to our store to buy sesame cakes. I heard that she has a good matchmaking skills. None of the marriages she brokered have gone wrong and they are all very happy.
, I originally wanted to ask her to introduce you to someone for two years, but now I owe a lot of debt. How do you ask me to speak? Which family would want a daughter-in-law like you..."
Ma Chunfang cried while talking, feeling like the sky was falling.
Finally, I hope that my younger brother will become a child. Not only does he stop gambling, he also finds a partner who works in a textile factory. The relationship between the young couple is progressing very well, and they will be able to get married by the end of the year without any accidents.
Now it's okay, it's my daughter's turn to be in trouble.
Xu Yin squatted down helplessly to comfort her: "Mom, give me five years, and I promise to pay off all the debts and start turning losses into profits."
"It's not as easy as you said." Ma Chunfang obviously didn't believe it.
"Really! You believe me! This project of mine is long-term in nature, and it will take two or three years at the earliest to see any benefits. It's not like our shaobing stall, where you can make a profit from each sale."
"Isn't it a good idea to run a sesame seed biscuit business? Two shops are not enough. At worst, you can open another branch. Do you have to go through such a battle?"
"I have my thoughts and wishes."
"..."
Ma Chunfang was discouraged: "Forget it, forget it, you are in charge of this family anyway, and you don't like to hear what I say. Is it true that the family's money has not been touched?"
"Absolutely not moving!"
"That 140,000 yuan was not borrowed at a high interest rate, right?"
"Absolutely not!"
In this case, what else can Ma Chunfang say? She can only let the prodigal daughter toss her.
In that room, Jiao Dongmei squatted at the factory office every day. I don't know whether she was frightened by her pestering, or because her finances were finally rich, she finally got back the 50,000 yuan she lent to the factory.
Just when I was happy, I heard a group of women gathered in the courtyard. The daughter of the Xu family said that she was probably a ghost. Otherwise, how could she have borrowed a huge sum of 140,000 yuan to contract the abandoned mine in the factory? This is not like throwing money into the water.
Is it like wasting water?
Jiao Dongmei raised her head and glanced at the Gaogong Building, feeling really gloating about the misfortune. She went home and talked about it with her man: "...Do you think the old Xu family will quit the potter's house? If they quit, our family will immediately quit.
Buy it and now you have money.”
"Why do the old Xu family want to withdraw from the house?"
"You are stupid! Their daughter has borrowed so much money and she can't pay it back? Can she sell the house before she can pay it out? In my opinion, that sesame seed cake shop may not be able to be saved."
