At half past midnight, Qu Ran'er came from the backyard to the front yard and shouted towards the house where Chan'er lived: "Chan'er, Chan'er..."
After two calls, Chan'er opened the door and came out: "What's the matter, cousin..."
"Chan'er, my brother-in-law hasn't gotten up yet?" Qu Ran'er asked in a suppressed voice.
Chan'er looked back and nodded: "Well, he's still asleep... Do you have anything to do with him, cousin?"
Qu Raner nodded with a smile and said: "There is something indeed, I would like to ask my brother-in-law for a favor..."
"Ah, then I'll wake him up right now. Cousin, please wait..." Upon hearing this, Chan'er turned around and walked into the house.
Qu Ran'er immediately grabbed Chan'er and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, let my brother-in-law sleep a little longer. It won't be too late to talk when he wakes up..."
"It's okay, cousin..."
"Don't go, I'm really not in a hurry..."
Probably because the two people were talking too loudly at the door, Bai Yucheng's voice suddenly came from inside the room: "Chan'er..."
"Cousin, he's awake, just wait..."
Chan'er hurriedly pushed Qu Ran'er's hand away, turned around and walked quickly into the house.
Arriving at the house, Bai Yucheng had just sat up and was about to get out of bed.
"What's wrong? Why is your cousin here so early in the morning?" Bai Yucheng asked lazily.
Chan'er quickly stepped forward to help Bai Yucheng get dressed, and said softly: "Husband, my cousin is here to see you. She said she has something to ask you for help..."
"Ask me for help?" Bai Yucheng couldn't help but be startled, and then he became happy: "What can happen to her?"
Chan'er said: "I don't know, I didn't ask..."
After putting on their clothes, Bai Yucheng and Chan'er walked out.
Qu Ran'er stood waiting outside the door. When she saw Bai Yucheng coming out, a warm smile immediately appeared on her face.
"I'm sorry, brother-in-law, for disturbing your sleep..." Qu Raner said with a smile.
Bai Yucheng shook his head and waved his hands, saying: "Cousin, sit down and talk..."
The three of them moved stools and sat down in the courtyard. Qu Raner said: "Brother-in-law, I have something to ask you for help..."
"Cousin, just say it." Bai Yucheng looked at her calmly.
Qu Raner smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, I have taken a fancy to a shop in the city and would like to ask my brother-in-law to negotiate the price for me. If the price is right, I will buy it...
..As you know, I come from a womanly family, and I am also a widow. It would not be appropriate for me to go there by myself..."
Bai Yucheng and Chan'er were both shocked after hearing this. They looked at each other and then their eyes fell on Qu Ran'er's face.
Chan'er asked in surprise: "Cousin, what did you just say...you want to buy a shop?"
Bai Yucheng said nothing and looked at Qu Ran'er to listen to what she would say next.
"Yes!" Qu Ran'er nodded, and then said: "In the past few years, I stayed at home and did nothing. It was too uncomfortable to be idle, so I wanted to buy a shop and learn how to do business...
."
When Qu Ran'er said that he wanted to learn how to do business, Bai Yucheng thought that he might be mistaken, so he couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to buy a shop or rent a shop?"
Chan'er nodded hurriedly. This was what she wanted to ask. Why do you need to buy a shop to learn how to do business? Can't you just rent it?
"Of course I'll buy it! It's not worth renting too much. You have to rent money to others every month." Qu Ran'er said with certainty.
Chan'er was surprised and said: "Cousin, buying a shop costs a lot of money..."
Qu Raner nodded with a smile and said: "Of course I know this. You don't have to worry about the money. I just hope that my brother-in-law can help and come forward to lower the price for me."
Saying that, Qu Raner looked at Bai Yucheng.
Bai Yucheng then asked: "Cousin, what shop are you interested in?"
"Oh, it's not far from us, just two streets away. It's called He Ji Restaurant..."
Qu Ran'er immediately told Bai Yucheng and Chan'er about the general situation of the shop he liked.
After Qu Raner finished speaking, Bai Yucheng spoke: "Cousin, I know where the Heji Restaurant you mentioned is located. It's in a good location, not too big but not too small. The business has been very good. Are you sure the other party wants to transfer it?
mean?"
Qu Ran'er suddenly lowered his voice and said with a mysterious face: "I heard that their boss owed a lot of gambling debts, and debt collectors came to the door, so that's why he suddenly said that he wanted to sell the restaurant!"
"Who did you hear these things from?" Bai Yucheng couldn't help but ask.
Qu Ran'er said: "Brother-in-law, please don't worry about this for now. You can help me negotiate the price, otherwise others will overtake you!"
Bai Yucheng hesitated and couldn't help but look at Chan'er. Chan'er immediately nodded and said: "Husband, you are the only man in the family. Just help your cousin. It will be much easier for a man to come forward..."
"Yes, brother-in-law, please help me. When the matter is completed, cousin, I will definitely thank my brother-in-law." Qu Ran'er also said.
Bai Yucheng smiled slightly, nodded and agreed, "You're welcome, cousin, it's just a small effort."
"Thank you, brother-in-law, thank you, brother-in-law..." Qu Raner suddenly smiled like a flower.
After being happy for a while, Qu Raner immediately stood up and said: "Brother-in-law, you must be hungry. I'm going to buy you breakfast. Just wait, I'll be back soon..."
"No need, cousin...cousin..."
Chan'er wanted to call Qu Ran'er, but Qu Ran'er walked out the door without looking back.
Chan'er turned to look at Bai Yucheng and found a strange smile on his lips, so she asked, "Husband, why are you smiling?"
Bai Yucheng put away his smile and said calmly: "Your cousin is really rich!"
--------------------------
Half an hour later, Qu Ran'er accompanied Bai Yucheng to the vicinity of He Ji Restaurant.
After the two discussed outside for a while, Bai Yucheng entered He Ji Restaurant alone, while Qu Raner waited patiently outside.
About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Yucheng walked out of the restaurant.
As soon as Qu Ran'er saw him, he hurriedly greeted him and asked with concern: "Brother-in-law, what did you say?"
Bai Yucheng came to a deserted place on the street and stopped, saying, "The other party wants a price of five hundred and eighty taels!"
"Then brother-in-law, what price did you pay him in return?" Qu Ran'er asked.
Bai Yucheng shook his head and said: "I didn't counter-offer..."
"...Ah? You didn't counteroffer?" Before Bai Yucheng could finish his words, Qu Raner interrupted him with an exclamation.
Then, Qu Ran'er became anxious: "You, you, you...why don't you counter-offer? How can you not counter-offer? I came to you just to ask you to bargain. It's better for you, others said
How much is what, then I might as well do it myself, you tell me... you are so mad at me..."
Bai Yucheng stood quietly in front of Qu Ran'er, letting her complain and complain, but secretly laughing in his heart.
After a long time, Bai Yucheng finally said: "Are you done?"
"No!" Qu Ran'er replied angrily, but still stopped talking.
Bai Yucheng frowned and stared at Qu Ran'er: "Please understand, it's not that I don't intend to counter-offer, I haven't paid him back yet!"
