Feng Qinghua suddenly became pregnant. Several people at the table talked about her marriage to Ge Lianghua for more than half an hour.
Everyone chatted and laughed, asking about their wedding date for a while; asking Ge Lianghua about his feelings about becoming a father; and talking about how they planned to get married? Are they planning to go home and build a house? and so on.
When encountering such a happy event, everyone is in a good mood. You say a few words, I say a few words, and the topic feels like it will go on forever.
Seeing that the lunch was almost finished, Comrade Xu still couldn't find a chance to talk about raising money.
At first he felt a little depressed.
But slowly, as time passed, Tongdao Xu also thought about it and was no longer in a hurry.
He thought: Ge Liangcai opened a dog meat restaurant this year. He spent an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 yuan on it. Now that Ge Lianghua is getting married again at the end of the year, the financial situation of the two brothers' families this year should be tight, so this time they raised money.
, these two brothers probably can't help him.
In this case, let’s not bring up the topic of “money” today.
He mentally gave up the idea of raising money with these two cousins.
but……
When lunch was almost finished, Ge Liangcai suddenly remembered this, looked over, and asked with a smile: "Hey, by the way, Xiaodao! Don't you have something to discuss with us today? What is it? Tell me!"
His words reminded others.
Ge Lianghua: "Yeah, I almost forgot about it."
Feng Qinghua looked at Comrade Xu curiously and said, "You even called me here specifically. Is it something related to me? Come on and tell me!"
Xu Tonglin: "Xiaodao, does it have anything to do with me? Hehe."
Only Xi Dongyang remained silent, but he also looked at Comrade Xu.
Tongdao Xu shook his head, "Forget it, I originally wanted to discuss something with you, but since sister-in-law, you are pregnant now and will get married at the end of the year, so forget it! Don't tell me!"
He really didn't want to talk anymore.
But the curiosity of several people present was aroused by his words.
One or two of them urged him to speak quickly.
Comrade Xu couldn't stand the urging of them all, so he had no choice but to smile helplessly and briefly tell them what he originally wanted to say.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to open another Internet cafe, but I don't have much money on hand. I originally wanted to ask you to help me think of a way, such as lending me some money, or finding a way to help me get some bags from outside.
Money, or you can use your own money to invest in shares, that's fine. But now that sister-in-law, you are pregnant and will get married at the end of the year, and cousin Liangcai, the business of your dog meat restaurant is not good now, so you may have to lend money to Brother Rooster to get married, so,
Forget it! I'll think of another way."
Bao Qian is money that carries interest locally.
Borrowing money from a bag is usually called taking money, while lending money to others is generally called giving money away.
As for why he was called that way, Tongdao Xu didn't know. Anyway, they had called him that way since he could remember.
"Ah? Your Internet cafe has only been open for a few days, and you want to open another one?"
Xu Tonglin was surprised.
Others had similar reactions.
Ge Lianghua: "Xiaodao! Tell us honestly, is there something wrong with your Internet cafe now? Do you need money for emergency relief?"
Ge Liangcai frowned, "Yes! Xiaodao, if you have any difficulties, just tell us directly. Don't make up any lies to deceive us. There are no outsiders here who can help. We will definitely find a way to help you."
Feng Qinghua looked at Comrade Xu, then at Ge Lianghua and Ge Liangcai, nodded slightly, and agreed: "Yes, if you really encounter difficulties, just tell us the truth."
Xu Tongdao: "..."
Comrade Xu was speechless for a moment.
However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that they are so suspicious. After all, according to common sense, he has just opened an Internet cafe and it has only been open for a few days. There is really no reason to raise money to open a second Internet cafe immediately.
Very few people do business like this.
For example, just a few days after Zhang San opened a small restaurant, he went to tell his relatives and friends that he wanted to borrow money to open another small restaurant. What did his relatives and friends think?
"No! The business of my current Internet cafe is very good. If you don't believe it, I will take you to see it later. It is because the business is very good that I want to open another one as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry! If it really doesn't work,
When I save enough money later, it will be too late to open a second store."
Because he had given up the idea of raising money from them, Xu Tongdao did not try hard to prove that his financial situation was okay at this time.
However, he underestimated how much these relatives and friends cared about him.
He has no interest in trying to prove that he is financially sound.
But they were worried about his financial situation.
When you say something, I will keep asking you questions.
Comrade Xu smiled bitterly when he was questioned. He already regretted telling them this today.
No matter how he explained it, it was useless.
Finally, Ge Liangcai made the final decision and made a proposal, which was unanimously approved by others.
His suggestion was that tomorrow morning, he, Ge Lianghua and Xu Tongdao would go to the city together, and the two brothers would go to the Internet cafe opened by Xu Tongdao to check on the spot. They wanted to see with their own eyes whether anything happened to Xu Tongdao's Internet cafe.
Xu Tongdao smiled bitterly in his heart.
But I didn't object either.
Since they want to go and see it, take them there!
Anyway, the business of his Internet cafe has been getting better day by day in recent days, so he has nothing to fear from them.
…
That night, Comrade Xu was helping in the store.
The next morning, not long after he got up, Ge Liangcai and Ge Lianghua came to see him. The two brothers had specially tidied themselves up today and were dressed much more elegantly than usual.
Seeing that they were so active, Comrade Xu didn't say anything nonsense.
After simply eating some noodles, he took the keys and wallet, led the two of them into his van, and drove to the city.
Along the way, the two brothers also did Comrade Xu's ideological work from time to time.
They spoke sincerely and sincerely to Comrade Xu, and the purpose was obvious - they hoped that Comrade Xu would be frank and lenient, and honestly explain what happened to his Internet cafe? How much money was owed outside?
Don’t mention the helplessness in Xu Tongdao’s heart...
When he came back to raise money this time, he was thinking about how to raise money, who he could raise money from, where to open the second Internet cafe? How many computers to buy... and so on.
Because of his negligence, he didn't even think that the result would be like this.

While driving to the city, listening to the two Tang monks' sermons as if they were chanting sutras, he felt like his head was getting big.
I finally understood why Sun Wukong, who was talked about endlessly by Tang Monk in "Journey to the West", wanted to kill Tang Monk with a stick.
His head was so heavy that he subconsciously increased the speed of the car.
When he arrived at the Ximen Road Internet Cafe, Xu Tongdao looked at the time on his watch. The time he drove here today was ten minutes shorter than last time.
