The father and son guessed correctly, Yao Linlin wouldn't let them in.
So, as planned before, Liu Yonghua knelt on the ground, looking deeply in love, and refused to leave no matter what the servants said.
What Yao Linlin wants is for this man to be devoted to her. Once he betrays him, it will be impossible to forgive him. Besides, with her current status and money on hand, it is not difficult to find another man who is loyal to her.
It's just...it doesn't have a good reputation.
And her third marriage was given to her by a man called Liu Yonghua. How could she easily forgive him?
Wanting to see the man still pretending to be affectionate outside, Yao Linlin immediately became angry. If she let him kneel down like this, everyone in the city would probably think that she was being unreasonable. She was not such a good-tempered person, so she immediately
Came to the door in person.
Liu Yonghua knelt here just to see her. When he saw the person coming out, he was overjoyed.
"Madam, you are willing to see me. What you heard is all wrong. Dujuan'er hates me and deliberately said those words, so she has no good intentions. We can't believe her!" Liu Yonghua took two steps on his knees.
He reached out and took her hand: "Listen to me
Explain, that Cuihua approached me for no reason, and coaxed me to go to the suburbs. She also said that no one would notice, so she was obviously being instigated by others. I suspect that the person behind the scenes is Du Juaner... If you really dislike me, break up with me.
, and you fell into her trap."
Yao Linlin did not withdraw her hand, but looked down at the man in front of her and said: "Even if what you said is true, Cuihua only approached you at her instigation. But you are now my man and my husband, and you, the Liu family, can do it"
my benefits and
Grace, let alone a green flower, even if the most beautiful woman in the world comes to seduce you, you should stay as far away from her as possible. But how do you do it? Any woman can seduce you, and you repay her like this
I, you still have the nerve to ask for forgiveness?"
She suddenly withdrew her hand and kicked it out: "Get out! You must collect the money and pay it back within two days, otherwise, I will never let you go!"
After saying that, she turned around and left, and finally said: "If you continue to pester me, I will ask the Hu family to go to the Yamen to file a complaint tomorrow. I will also give you the IOU you originally wrote and ask for your help in collecting the debt."
Once such words came out, how could Liu Yonghua dare to kneel down?
He stood up slowly, and Father Liu beside him had already rushed out of the alley: "Let's leave quickly and think of other ways."
Otherwise, if Yao Linlin is offended, the whole family will be left hungry.
Liu Yonghua looked confused.
If we really want to pay back the two thousand taels, we can't keep the restaurant and the house... and we can't get it together.
I figured it out at first, but Du Juaner's departure took away so much. In addition, the restaurant business has been bad recently, so if I want to sell the restaurant, I have to lower the price.
"Dad, what should I do?"
Father Liu also wanted to ask this question.
Seeing that his son was lost and unable to make a decision, he tried to calm himself down and soon came up with an idea: "Go find your father."
Yao Linlin has not lived with her parents since she got married. Liu Yonghua has only met his father-in-law and mother-in-law once or twice. They don't like him very much there, and he is not willing to get along with them to make others uncomfortable. He will occasionally send some gifts, but there is really nothing wrong with the two families.
Coming and going.
To be honest, if they were not really desperate, neither father nor son would be willing to look for people from the Yao family.
The two of them ran for a while, but couldn't even get in. The steward even came out and said bluntly: "My girl is currently in the boudoir, and she has not yet made a promise to get married. If you talk nonsense here, you will ruin my girl's reputation."
I will never let you go."
The implication is that Liu Yonghua’s identity is no longer recognized.
When the father and son saw this situation, their hearts went cold. Now, it seems that there is only one way to go. They can only collect the money and pay it back, lest Yao Linlin really gets angry and asks the Hu family to take them to court.
.
On the way back, Liu Yonghua couldn't help but said: "Even if we sell the house and shop immediately, we still can't get so much money, what will we do with the rest?"
Father Liu sighed: "Let's take it one step at a time. Let's gather it together first and see how big the difference is."
Liu Yonghua didn't know how things turned out like this, but it seemed to be all his fault, and he didn't feel that he was at fault. Although his father didn't blame himself, the way he looked at him was not right. He thought
Defending himself: "Dad, I couldn't let go of Du Juan'er at the beginning. If you had followed me then, we would have paid back the money and we wouldn't have offended the Yao family."
Liu's father didn't want to blame his son. At this point, it was useless to argue. The most important thing was to quickly find a way to solve the problem. It was obvious that his son had done something wrong, but he didn't blame him at all. What a good thing for this idiot, and he took the initiative to say that he was wrong.
Got it!
"Yonghua, if you hadn't been confused and ran to find Cuihua, how could you have been caught and ended up in this situation? It's your fault. I asked you to marry a girl from the Yao family. How have you been living these days?
Not good?" Liu's father asked Liu Yonghua speechless. He still felt that it was not enough, so he continued: "Food and drink are delicious, and there is a warm and soft jade around him.
If you are pregnant, it would be better for you to go and give birth to a son. You should discuss this with me before you do these things! At worst, I will find a woman to come back and you sleep with her. From now on, you can put the child in my name and wait for a long time.
After that... I don’t know what you were thinking. If you are wrong, you are wrong. I didn’t say anything to you, and you are still arguing with me here."
Liu Yonghua was speechless.
He lowered his eyes.
The reason why he didn't discuss it with his parents when he was looking for Cuihua was because he found that people's hearts are unpredictable. For him, the closest people are his parents. But to his parents, they have more than one son. Who will hand over this restaurant to him in the future?
Either way.
How is this possible?
Liu Yonghua had already made up his mind. He had paid so much for the restaurant and even left his wife and children. The restaurant must belong to him and his children. Why should he hand it over to Liu Yongxin, who was in his teens and still knew nothing about it?
A fool who is just waiting to die?
The father and son did not argue any more along the way. After returning to the restaurant, they immediately started looking for a buyer.
The restaurant is no longer what it used to be. A few months ago it was still selling at a good price, but now it's at least a 30% discount. Plus they're selling in a hurry, so the price can only be lower.
There are people who want to take over, but they have been unwilling to come to negotiate and only wait and see, the purpose is to lower the price.
The father and son were so anxious that they walked around. At dawn, someone finally came to the door, but they were only willing to offer 600 taels, and they had to keep everything in the restaurant and the warehouse.
This price is too low. A few months ago, it would have been at least doubled... But it is very helpless. The news has been out for so long, and only one person is willing to bid.
The father and son met and discussed, but they did not dare to delay any longer, because the manager below seemed to be leaving at any time. They were afraid that after discussing for too long, he would lose his popularity and find no one to take over.
"Dad, this price is too cheap."
Why doesn't Liu's father understand this?
This restaurant has been his hard work for half his life. Selling it would be like cutting out his heart and flesh. He closed his eyes and said, "Let him give me an extra two hundred taels, and we will sell this restaurant. With the addition of the house, we should be able to save a thousand dollars."
The remaining two. Pay back half tomorrow, and let Yao Linlin relax for a while no matter what."
Liu Yonghua also felt like his heart was cut by a knife: "What should we do in the future?"
"Let's take it one step at a time." Liu's father knew that it was useless to argue at this time, but thinking that his family's wealth had shrunk by more than half, he couldn't help but scolded: "Don't look like this, we will be where we are now because of you.
! ”
Liu Yonghua was already very sad. When he heard his father's words, he didn't want to admit it: "The culprit of the hot discussion is still the little son you favored. If he hadn't killed someone, how could these things have happened? For him, I gave up my wife and children... with Juan
My son turned against me and turned against me. Dad, now, you still let Tiantian sleep at home, let alone beating him from beginning to end, without even a word of reproach...but he is your treasure, and I am just a piece of shit?"
Liu's father indeed doted on his younger son, but he never expected that he would dare to commit murder. After what happened, the couple also regretted not restraining their younger son, but still, the matter had already happened, and they had to find a solution quickly.
Solve it. Besides, the younger son is not very old and did not mean it. Beating him up will not solve the problem.
As for letting the youngest son sleep at home...the news that Liu Yongxin accidentally killed someone has spread a lot. If he shows up, it will inevitably attract people's attention. If the couple has a way, they just want to send him to another place. There is really no way.
We have just locked people up at home. A half-year-old child is already suffering enough from being locked up at home. Why don’t we let him sleep?
"Yonghua, are you sure you want to argue with me now?"
Liu Yonghua lowered his eyes: "Dad, I just feel uncomfortable."
Father Liu was also feeling very uncomfortable. He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."
The two of them went downstairs and continued to work with the steward for a long time, and finally sold the restaurant for 750 taels. When the time came to negotiate, the Yamen had already opened, so the three of them went to find the master together to prepare for the house deed.
The father and son had already determined that the steward could bring out so much money. As for the owner behind the scenes, they didn't know who it was and they didn't have time to ask. They all arrived outside the Yamen, and Liu's father was curious: "How can your owner do such a big business?"
Won’t you show up?”
The manager smiled and said: "My boss is not rich enough to give me a few hundred taels of silver to help me with things. She still has to come in person to sign the house deed. Later, she has to decide the ownership of various furnishings in the warehouse and restaurant.
Submit the deed."
The father and son looked at each other. Liu's father looked at the sky and said anxiously: "Then when will your boss come? I will sell the restaurant so cheaply because I urgently need money. If he waits too long, it won't be at this price."
The steward pointed his finger: "My boss is already waiting!"
The father and son looked along his hand, and immediately saw the coat rack carriage next to Yamen. It looked quite simple, and did not look like someone who could easily take out hundreds of taels of silver.
Just at this moment, the curtain opened, revealing a hibiscus face.
It's an acquaintance!
For Liu Yonghua, he was really familiar with her. The two of them had been sleeping together for several years, and they were the wives he once thought he could stay with for the rest of his life.
It’s Du Juaner!
Father Liu exclaimed: "You want to buy it?" Then he thought of something and asked: "Where did you get so much money?"
Chu Yunli took out a stack of banknotes and said, "Wealth is not wasted. I have money, why should I tell you?"
Father Liu was speechless.
Liu Yonghua felt complicated and unspeakable for a moment. He wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know what to say.
