The van drove into Shazhou County and stopped in front of Daolin BBQ restaurant. As soon as the van stopped, Rooster Ge Lianghua, who felt unhappy, opened the door, got out of the car, and strode into the store.
Comrade Xu and Ge Liangcai, who were left in the car, frowned for a while.
Xu Tongdao sighed secretly, lowered his head and unfastened his seat belt. Suddenly Ge Liangcai's voice came from the back seat, "Xiaodao, I want to discuss something with you."
"What? Say it!" Xu Tongdao responded casually.
"Rooster is getting married. I can't lend him money in my name. However, I am his brother after all, and I can't really stand by and watch. So, I want to ask you a favor. I will lend him money in your name."
…Give him five thousand. If it’s not enough, I’ll win ten thousand. I’ll pay for it. Anyway, I’ll lend it to him in your name. Do you think that’s okay?”
Ge Liangcai's words made Comrade Xu stop untying his seat belt and looked up at him in surprise.
"Cousin, do you really not believe in Feng Qinghua's character?"
On the way, Ge Liangcai said that he would not lend money to Ge Lianghua. The reason he said at that time was that he was afraid that Feng Qinghua would not recognize the debt after marrying him.
Ge Liangcai smiled faintly and said, "It's not easy for me to make some money. My dog meat restaurant also suffered losses this year. I can lend him the money, but I can't take the risk. If the money is lent out and I can't get it back,
Then I won’t be able to get up for several years.”
Comrade Xu nodded and smiled, "Okay! I can help you with this."
With that said, Comrade Xu lowered his head and took off his seat belt, and when he was about to open the door and get out of the car, Ge Liangcai stopped him again, "Xiaodao!"
"Huh? Cousin, is there anything else?"
Comrade Xu turned around.
Ge Liangcai's expression was a little hesitant. After about two or three seconds, he smiled and said, "I probably won't be able to get married this year. Where is Zhang Wenxiu... I plan to find an opportunity to officially break up with her and get married... The most I can do is
Lend him 10,000 yuan. In this case, I still have some money left on hand. Don’t you need investment in your Internet cafe? Look... I want to invest 20,000 yuan, do you think it’s okay?”
Comrade Xu was surprised.
Frowning, "Cousin, do you want to break up with Zhang Wenxiu?"
Ge Liangcai nodded, with a smile on his face that showed a bit of self-deprecation, "Marry a virtuous wife. No matter how bad my life is, I, Ge Liangcai, can never marry such a woman. Marrying a bad first generation of relatives will ruin the lives of three generations. I won't."
I dare to imagine what a woman like that will educate my children in the future, so I have decided with her that you should leave this matter alone! In short, I want to invest 10,000 yuan in shares, do you think it’s okay?”
Comrade Xu was silent for a few seconds and nodded, "Okay! I will write a share agreement for you when the time comes!"
Ge Liangcai smiled and said, "Okay! That's it, let's go!"
After saying that, he got out of the car, closed the car door, and strode towards his own dog meat restaurant.
Then Comrade Xu, who got off the car, looked at Ge Liangcai's leaving figure, squinted for a while, and gained a new understanding of his cousin.
A little admired.
As expected of a shrewd person since childhood, he has his own opinions on how he behaves and does things, and... he does have a brain.
…
When Comrade Xu walked into the barbecue restaurant, he saw Ge Lianghua already busy in the kitchen.
Comrade Xu thought for a while, walked into the kitchen, looked at Ge Lianghua's expression, and saw that Ge Lianghua was frowning and looking unhappy. Although his hands were busy with work, his attitude was obviously much more sloppy than usual.
He should still be angry with his elder brother Ge Liangcai.
Yes! For such a big event as his marriage, his eldest brother said so bluntly that he would not lend him money. Who wouldn't be angry at all if this matter were left to him?
Is that your real eldest brother?
Where is my dear?
From this incident, Comrade Xu somewhat understood why Ge Lianghua and Ge Liangcai had not been close to each other since they were children. Ge Lianghua was a straight-tempered person, but Ge Liangcai had his own little plans and would consider his own gains and losses in everything. How could such two brothers get along well?
It's strange that it's good.
"Cousin, don't be angry! If you don't have enough money when you get married, I will lend you money, five thousand or ten thousand! If it's not enough, you can tell me again."
Comrade Xu opened his mouth to comfort him.
By the way, I also helped Ge Liangcai as promised.
This kind of help is too easy to do.
He doesn't have to pay for it himself anyway.
In two years, when Ge Lianghua and Feng Qinghua pay back the money, and then tell them the truth, Ge Lianghua's resentment should be resolved.
Ge Liangcai just promised that he could borrow five thousand or ten thousand, but Xu Tongdao didn't say that. Although he will open a second Internet cafe in the near future, and his money is tight, if Ge Lianghua needs it, Xu Tongdao is willing to borrow some.
Give him money.
Not for anything else, just because Ge Lianghua had been very good to him since he was a child.
Ge Lianghua turned around and said, "You are lending me money? You are borrowing money from everywhere now. Do you still have money to lend me?"
Xu Tongdao smiled slightly, lowered his head and took out the cigarette case, handed him a cigarette, and lit one himself, "Cousin, your marriage is a big event. Even if my Internet cafe opens a month or two later, it will be fine. I need you first."
Let’s get married! If you need money, remember to tell me! Don’t be polite to me.”
Ge Lianghua lowered his head to light the cigarette, frowned, took a puff, and when he exhaled the smoke, he seemed to be full of resentment, "Thank you! But since I know that you are tight on money, I will try not to talk to you, hum! The most embarrassing thing is
It’s the beast Ge Liangcai who made me angry! When we were in the car, you also heard what he said. Are those words that a person can say? I am his brother! You are my cousin, and you are now yourself
Even though they were all short of money, they all lent me money. What did Ge Liangcai say? He actually said he couldn't lend me a penny. I don't have a brother like that!"
Comrade Xu raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling. Knowing the truth, he wanted to tell Ge Lianghua the truth.
But reason stopped him.
Since Ge Liangcai chose to do that, and Comrade Xu also agreed to help, he could only hide it from Ge Lianghua for the time being.
The most I can do is help comfort Ge Lianghua.
"Cousin! Don't say that either. Your brother is also having a hard time this year. You can also see how his dog meat restaurant business has declined."
but……
Ge Lianghua: "Bah! He deserves it! People like him should go bankrupt! I wish his shabby store would close down tomorrow!"
Come on! Comrade Xu doesn’t dare to persuade me anymore. How can I persuade him when he is so angry?
"Cousin, don't be so angry. Go to her house with your sister-in-law as soon as possible! See what conditions her parents want before you get married. I still say the same thing. If you are short of money, just tell me! I will try my best to help.
your."
"Well, I know! You will go to her house as soon as possible to propose marriage."
When it came to the marriage proposal, Ge Lianghua's anger subsided a lot and his tone became calmer.
…
After getting off work in the early morning, Ge Lianghua did not return to the rented place, but rode his bicycle to find Feng Qinghua.
