Meng Xueyun pushed open the door, and a wave of stuffy air mixed with the sound of the television rushed in.
Ye Zhenghua was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching TV. Hearing the noise, he glanced impatiently at the door.
When Ye Zhenghua saw the gaunt man behind Meng Xueyun, his brows immediately furrowed.
Who is this?
Before Meng Xueyun could speak, Meng Xuejun had already come up to her with a big smile on his face.
"Brother-in-law! It's me! It's Xiaojun! I'm back!"
Ye Zhenghua certainly recognized him. He would recognize him even if he were reduced to ashes!
The anger in his heart suddenly surged to his forehead.
Meng Xueyun and Meng Zihan, those two women with the surname Meng, had already given him enough trouble, and now another one has come along!
I can't live like this anymore!
Ye Zhenghua jumped up from the sofa and pointed at Meng Xuejun.
"You actually know how to come back? I thought you'd died under some bridge somewhere outside and been carried off by wild dogs!"
"Old Ye!" Meng Xueyun screamed and quickly grabbed his arm. "Xuejun finally came back, how can you talk to him like that!"
Ye Zhenghua still relies on Meng Xueyun's meager salary to make a living, so he can't say anything too absolute.
He shook off Meng Xueyun's hand, sat back on the sofa, and softened his tone slightly, but still glanced at Meng Xuejun sideways.
"Alright, come back then. Perfect timing, you can also take your precious daughter Meng Zihan with you, so you two can have a proper reunion."
Meng Xuejun's smile froze, and he then rubbed his lower back.
"Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to pick up Xiaohan, but all these years I've been working away from home, and I haven't made any money. I've also developed a lot of health problems. Look at my body, I can barely support myself anymore. I really have the will but not the strength!"
"Oh?" Ye Zhenghua raised his eyelids, his internal alarm bells already ringing loudly. "Then why did you come back? Don't tell me you came back to borrow money."
Meng Xuejun felt uncomfortable under his gaze. He chuckled and slowly moved to the sofa, sitting down next to the armrest. He gave a dry laugh and said, "How could that be? I've been away from home for too long, and I missed home and Xiaohan, so... I came back to visit."
"Hmph." Ye Zhenghua sneered through his nose. "Why did you have to come back just now, right after my wife and I were laid off? Tell me honestly, what exactly did you come back for?"
"How can you talk like that!" Meng Xueyun exclaimed, stepping between the two of them. "Xiao Jun has it tough out there! He's been on the train for three days and three nights and has only eaten a few dry buns. I have to cook for him."
Ye Zhenghua ignored her completely, his eyes fixed on Meng Xuejun: "Tell the truth!"
Meng Xuejun couldn't take his gaze any longer, so he touched his nose and finally confessed: "Brother-in-law, I... I really missed you all. Of course, I came back this time also to... to ask you for a favor."
Ye Zhenghua raised his eyebrows, his voice full of sarcasm: "Help? I've raised your daughter for eighteen years, isn't that a big enough favor? What else do you want!"
"Brother-in-law, listen to me!" Meng Xuejun leaned forward, trying his best to persuade him, "I've been running around these past few years, and although I haven't found my wife yet, it's not like I've come away empty-handed! A few years ago, I went to Hong Kong, and my goodness, you have no idea, it's a completely different world from our Jiangcheng! It's full of gold!"
Ye Zhenghua interrupted him impatiently: "Get to the point!"
"Hey! The important point! This is the important point!" Meng Xuejun shrank his neck and chuckled, "Shenzhen is developing rapidly right now, and it's short of everything. As long as you buy goods in Hong Kong and sell them in Shenzhen, the price will immediately increase several times! Just think, you can earn several thousand yuan from one trip! If you make a few trips a month, earning tens of thousands of yuan is no problem!"
"So profitable?" Meng Xueyun's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Of course!" Meng Xuejun nodded vigorously, speaking as if it were the truth. "I also know a boss over there who can give me insider prices, lower costs, and higher profits!"
Ye Zhenghua sneered inwardly, but his face remained impassive: "Alright, that's great. You've wasted so many years, it's time to do something worthwhile. Meng Zihan is just sitting at home doing nothing anyway, take her with you, she can be your helper."
He had only one thought in mind: to quickly pack up this plague god and that little plague god and send them away, preferably never to return!
Even if they become rich and become the richest people, Ye Zhenghua will never be envious!
Meng Xuejun, however, thought Ye Zhenghua was moved by him, and smiled even more obsequiously: "Brother-in-law, you also think this business is viable, right?"
Ye Zhenghua nodded: "You're capable, go and do it quickly."
"Sigh!" Meng Xuejun finally revealed his true intentions, "Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just... I don't have enough capital! I've spent all my savings over the years, and this kind of trading requires capital, and I really don't have a single penny on hand. Brother-in-law, what do you think..."
"What do you mean, 'What do you mean, 'What do you mean, 'What do you mean, 'No money!'" Ye Zhenghua stood up abruptly and roared decisively, "What do you mean, ' ...No money!'"
He knew it! That bastard was definitely up to no good when he came back!
Meng Xuejun was taken aback by his shout, and his face fell: "Brother-in-law, how could you do this? This is a sure-fire business for me. I'm not lending you money for nothing. Consider it an investment. When we make money, I'll share the profits with you!"
"I don't need it!" Ye Zhenghua waved his hand vigorously, as if trying to shoo away annoying flies.
"You can do whatever you want, whether you want to start a business or run a business, I won't interfere. But if you want money from me, not a single penny!"
"Why don't you have any!" Meng Xuejun exclaimed anxiously, standing up from the sofa. "Weren't you all laid off? Layoffs get severance pay! You're unemployed now, so you can invest in me. I'll help you get rich!"
