For some reason, when Meng Xiuyu saw Nangong Zimei's confident look, he actually believed her words!
He actually believed that a little girl over nine years old could help him survive their current danger!
"Second Miss..." Meng Xiuyu looked at Nangong Zimei, ready to tell the reason why he came to see Meng Shiniang.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Nangong Zimei: "Uncle, you should just call me Mei'er! You are my elder and you always call me Second Miss. It makes me feel uncomfortable!"
Second Miss, that is a name for outsiders. Now that Nangong Zimei has seen that Meng Xiuyu still has Meng Shiniang in her heart and does not think about everything for herself, she gradually agrees with him!
After all, he is also the brother of Meng Shiniang’s natal family! The reason why Meng Shiniang was bullied in the Nangong family was partly because of her own cowardice, and on the other hand, it was not because of the decline of her natal family.
?
Therefore, as long as the Meng family still has some affection for Meng Shiniang, she will help the Meng family get back on their feet so that they can support Meng Shiniang and serve as a strong backing for Meng Shiniang!
Hearing what Nangong Zimei said, Meng Xiuyu was startled, and then a trace of relief appeared in his eyes. Then, he told Nangong Zimei the reason why he came to find Meng Shiniang in such a hurry.
It turns out that since the Meng family declined a few years ago, they all moved back to their ancestral homes on the outskirts of the capital.
Although the Meng family has been in business for generations, and everyone in the family can be considered a master of shopping. However, for some unknown reason, since the decline of the Meng family, they have been unable to make a comeback no matter what. Now, they have been reduced to arranging business on the streets.
It’s to the point where I can barely make ends meet by setting up a street stall.
Two days ago, a friend Li Quan, who had done business with them before, suddenly came to Meng Xiuyu and said that he wanted to do a silk business with him that was sure to make a profit.
Meng Xiuyu investigated the silk business that Li Quan mentioned and found out that as long as he did it successfully, he could earn more than ten thousand taels of silver in one transaction.
Meng Xiuyu, who had always wanted to revive his family business, did not want to miss this opportunity. In addition, Li Quan had helped the Meng family many times after their decline. Therefore, Meng Xiuyu also believed in him, so he agreed.
Since Meng Xiuyu had no capital, he mortgaged his ancestral home to a bank and borrowed a large sum of money to start business.
However, just this afternoon, he was told that their batch of silk had been robbed. Since they could not deliver the goods, the buyers came to ask for liquidated damages. But this is not the most serious, the most terrible thing is
, I don’t know if the banker knew about this or someone did it deliberately. They also came to collect the debt when it was dark today, and made it clear that if they could not get the money before tomorrow morning, they would confiscate their ancestral home.
.
Now, their ancestral house in the capital is the only family property of the Meng family. If it is taken over by the bank, dozens of members of the Meng family will have to sleep on the streets!
Therefore, in desperation, Meng Xiuyu thought of Meng Shiniang, hoping to ask her for help...
After Nangong Zimei heard this, she immediately understood the reason.
And she doesn't think this incident will be a coincidence...
"Uncle, that Li Quan, can you still find him now?" Nangong Zimei asked.
Meng Xiuyu was startled. He was so overwhelmed by the banks and buyers chasing him that he had no time to care about the whereabouts of Li Quan. Now, after hearing what Nangong Zimei said, he seemed to immediately understand the connection...
