Speaking of which, this day was really busy. I dealt with Du Beikang's matter in the morning, discussed the decoration with Li Jiashun in the afternoon, and was taken to the cotton and linen company by Director Li.
But no matter what, today's trip went very smoothly.
Apart from anything else, the cotton and linen company did not impose any difficult conditions, but only required Shen Lin to pay the rent in full within five days.
The rent is more than 10,000 yuan, plus a 10,000 yuan decoration deposit.
In Shen Lin's view, the decoration deposit had nothing to do with Mianma Company. It was just because of Du Beikang's mischief that Mianma Company finally added the 10,000 yuan decoration deposit.
The renovation deposit of RMB 10,000 will be paid to Li Jiashun by the Cotton and Linen Company after the renovation is completed.
Shen Lin didn't take the more than 20,000 yuan seriously. Even if he invested the money, he would still have money to build a house.
On the way home, Shen Lin made a familiar trip to the butcher shop, but this time before he could buy any meat, a middle-aged man who often took out fish at the butcher shop gave him a big surprise.
I don’t know where this man got it from, but in his iron bucket covered with a straw basket, there were more than a dozen live yellow cattails.
Shen Lin had heard an old saying that when it comes to eating carp meat and catfish soup, the yellow catfish is still the most delicious. When Shen Lin saw that this was a wild catfish, he liked it very much. After all, it will not be easy for future generations to eat such wild catfish.
Shen Lin quickly took out five yuan and walked home with the yellow bag. On the way home, people kept saying hello to Shen Lin.
"Xiao Shen, where did you get so many yellow pigtails? You really know how to eat them!"
"Haha, I bought it on the road and it wasn't too expensive. The fellow villager caught it from the river for only five yuan."
"Xiao Shen, isn't five yuan expensive? This five yuan can buy five pounds of fat meat. If you refining it at home, you can eat it for at least ten days!"
"Shen Lin, you only eat rare things. If you can't eat them all at once, why don't you waste them?"
Listening to these greetings, Shen Lin responded with a smile. Although he was still a family member of the hardware machinery factory, Shen Lin was undoubtedly the most popular person.
"Hey, this guy is different now that he's rich!" An old neighbor looked at Shen Lin carrying the fish home and was filled with emotion.
As Shen Lin's landlord, Uncle Chen chuckled and said, "If someone has money, you don't care what they eat. If you want to eat this rare thing, you can buy it yourself!"
"Haha, Uncle Chen, I can't eat it!"
"But Uncle Chen, I don't think Shen Lin can rent your house in the future. He is so rich, so he should build his own house."
Uncle Chen frowned at these words. In this era, it is difficult to buy a house, and it is actually also difficult to rent a house.
Take Uncle Chen as an example. The reason why he has a house for rent is entirely because his family is from nearby Chen Village. Although he has entered a hardware and machinery factory, he still has some homesteads in the village.
The eldest son works in a hardware machinery factory and was also assigned a house. However, he built a yard in his hometown to live in. The house he shared was usually taken care of by the old couple, but now it is rented to Shen Lin.
If Shen Lin doesn't rent, it won't be easy to find someone to rent a house.
Shen Lin didn't know about Uncle Chen's worries. He carried the big grass carp and whistled home.
When he opened the door, he saw Lu Xiaorong sitting on a chair with his head lowered as if thinking about something.
Lu Xiaorong's depressed look shocked Shen Lin. Since his rebirth, Lu Xiaorong's mood has been quite good. Although he cannot be said to be happy every day, he has never been like this.
What's going on?
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Go to bed and lie down for a while!" Shen Lin threw the yellow rice cake in his hand into the kitchen sink and comforted him while washing his hands.
"Husband, I may have done something wrong!" Lu Xiaorong almost cried when he saw Shen Lin coming back.
"It's okay, my daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? There must be someone who made a mistake. Otherwise, wouldn't the right road be overcrowded?"
"Let me tell you, I screwed that wicked and smoking Du Beikang into a trap today!"
"Moreover, we have also taken over the cotton and linen company's store opposite us. Soon, Paris Street will become a real street."
"You don't know, Du Beikang's face turned green at that time!"
In order to make Lu Xiaorong happy, Shen Lin hurriedly talked about today's achievements. In his opinion, Lu Xiaorong is not himself now. She still has a child in her belly. This is the most important thing since his rebirth.
As for the rest, it's not that important.
In Lu Xiaorong's heart, she hated Du Beikang for wanting to seize Shen Lin's property. But now, after hearing the news, she just smiled dryly, her face still ugly.
"Daughter-in-law, what's going on? Don't scare me. Tell me, I'm here, don't be afraid!" Shen Lin saw Lu Xiaorong reluctantly smiled, and felt more and more uneasy.
Lu Xiaorong hesitated for a moment, and finally took out an IOU in his hand: "Shen Lin, I... I didn't find you this morning, so... I lent our money to my cousin for turnover."
After Lu Xiaorong finished speaking, he lowered his head sadly.
Under the pressure of her mother, she reluctantly lent the money to her cousin, but after she came back, she became increasingly uneasy.
This was 80,000 yuan, her and Shen Lin's entire family fortune. Although Chen Yongge said that he could pay it back in three days, the more she thought about it, the more she became uneasy.
Under the circumstances at that time, under the pressure of Chen Hongying, she could not resist for a while. She felt that it was just a loan and they were all relatives. If she did not borrow the loan, her mother would not be able to step down.
But after borrowing the money, Lu Xiaorong began to worry, what if this cousin couldn't pay back the money?
So this afternoon, Lu Xiaorong was so preoccupied that he couldn't get interested in anything.
Shen Lin looked at the IOU and frowned. The 80,000 yuan was all his savings now. If he borrowed it this time, he would only have a few thousand yuan left in his hand.
He looked at the frowning Lu Xiaorong, thought for a moment, and asked: "Did your mother bring your cousin to find you?"
"Yes, today my mother called me and asked me to go home. After I went back, my cousin was waiting for me there and said that he had an internal price and could buy a batch of steel bars from the Iron and Steel Factory. He also said that as long as it changed hands, You can make a lot of money.”
"He said he could return the money to us in three days, and he would also give us 10,000 yuan in interest."
"I...I didn't want to at the time, but my mother..."
"I...I called you, but I couldn't find you. My cousin was in a hurry to use it, so I had no other choice, so I agreed to lend it to him."
"The more I think about it when I come back, the more scared I am. I'm just afraid that my cousin will lose this time. What if he doesn't pay back our money!"
Shen Lin looked at the worried Lu Xiaorong. Although he was unhappy, he still smiled and comforted him: "I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out it's this. You just like to worry about it."
