"Conditions? Why are there conditions?" After exchanging bewildered glances, Zhu Daniu asked hesitantly, her voice tinged with dissatisfaction.
Xi Quan laughed: "So what do you mean? You want money, so I'll just give it to you. But what if you spend it all?"
"The money's all gone..."
She subconsciously wanted to swallow her words about giving them more money. Although Zhu Daniu didn't say it aloud, that's what she was thinking.
Xi Quan scoffed coldly: "I thought that after a few years of reform, you would have changed at least a little, but it seems you haven't changed at all. Regardless of whether Ye Qing is related to you by blood, think carefully about how you treated Ye Qing. Are you even human? If Ye Qing hadn't been strong, who knows what would have happened to her now? And you have the audacity to ask for money? The reason I agreed to give you money is because I thought I could get rid of you with money. If you know what's good for you, that's fine. If you don't, I have the money, but I won't give it to you."
Upon hearing Xi Quan's words, Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu suddenly stood up, as if they were about to argue with Xi Quan. However, seeing Xi Quan's imposing demeanor, the two slowly sat down again.
After exchanging glances, Zhu Daniu said, "If you don't give us the money, we'll just go find Ye Qing..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xi Quan interrupted her menacingly: "You dare! If you dare to go to Ye Qing, not only will you not get a single penny, but your daughter Xu Ying will also suffer. I mean what I say, you should know that I didn't even care about my reputation when I divorced Xu Ying. When it comes to ruthlessness, I'm not afraid of anyone."
Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu swallowed hard, quickly weighing the pros and cons in their minds, and looked at Xi Quan, asking, "How much money are you prepared to give?"
Before Xi Quan could even speak after asking the question, Xu Daye continued, "We've raised Ye Qing for almost twenty years, and we've put a lot of effort into her..."
Xi Quan interrupted Xu Daye with a cold laugh.
Xu Daye glanced cautiously at Xi Quan, then swallowed the rest of his words.
Zhu Daniu tugged at her husband, and asked Xi Quan with a hopeful smile, "How much money are you planning to give?"
Xi Quan held up one finger.
"One hundred thousand?" Zhu Daniu asked in surprise when she saw Xi Quan extend one finger. Then she looked at her husband with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
But almost instantly, Xi Quan interrupted her excitement: "One hundred thousand? You're dreaming."
Seeing Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu's disappointed looks, Xi Quan didn't let them continue guessing how much money he would give them, and directly said a number: "Ten thousand yuan, I will give it to you in five months."
"Trying to send a beggar away?" Xu Daye suddenly stood up again.
Xi Quan said calmly, "A beggar can earn two thousand yuan a month. Go ask your own daughter who works at a KTV. If she earns money properly, can she earn two thousand yuan a month?"
Almost every word of those words was barbed.
Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu were speechless.
Xi Quan didn't care what they thought: "I'll give you two thousand every month. If you behave yourselves and don't go looking for Ye Qing during this time, everything will be fine. But if you don't learn your lesson and go looking for Ye Qing again, then you won't get the money."
Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu were clearly very dissatisfied with Xi Quan's actions, so they did not nod in agreement.
Xi Quan wasn't in a hurry. He looked at them calmly and said, "Think it over carefully. I'll say it again: don't go looking for Ye Qing, or you really won't get a single penny. I hope you can keep an eye on your husband."
The last sentence was said to Zhu Danu.
But Zhu Danu was somewhat dismissive.
Xi Quan chuckled lightly: "You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. If what I just said wasn't enough to get you to agree, then think about why you, who have always wanted a son, only have a daughter!"
After speaking, Xi Quan looked at Zhu Danu with a meaningful expression.
Zhu Danu hadn't been listening to Xi Quan at all. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed Xi Quan's meaningful gaze. Zhu Danu involuntarily trembled, then nervously glanced at Xi Quan before looking away.
"What do you mean? Xi Quan, what does it matter to you whether we have a son or not?" Xu Daye didn't quite understand Xi Quan's implication, but he was pulled back by Zhu Daniu as soon as he started to argue.
Xu Daye glanced at his wife with displeasure. What did she want? But Zhu Daniu had already spoken: "No problem, but how are we going to get the two thousand a month? Are we going to come to you again?"
"No need, I'll wire the money to you. Just remember, the condition is that you don't go looking for Ye Qing. I'll wire the money to you on the 15th of every month. As for when you'll receive it, it depends on the speed of the post office in your town."
Sending the money to the post office in the town where Xiaoyao Village is located is clearly an attempt to prevent them from coming to Nancheng, because if they come to Nancheng they won't be able to collect the money.
However, Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu did not want to stay in Xiaoyao Village. Xu Daye was about to speak again, but Zhu Daniu quickly stopped him.
Xu Daye tried to shake off his wife's hand, but couldn't. However, he didn't want to argue with his wife in Xi Quan's office, so he could only hold back.
Xi Quan glanced at the couple and said, "Today is the 14th. I'll wire you this month's money tomorrow."
"Look, it's already the 14th today. Why don't you just give us this month's money directly, and we can start transferring money next month?" Zhu Daniu said to Xi Quan with a smile.
Xi Quan's tone was calm, but it left no room for argument: "Since it's an agreement, it won't change. Besides, today is already the 14th. If you don't hurry back to Xiaoyao Village, what if you don't receive the money?"
It was a subtle rebuff, neither too firm nor too soft. Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu understood that Xi Quan was doing this on purpose; he didn't want them to stay in Nancheng, fearing they might run into Ye Qing there.
Although I'm not entirely willing to accept this, there's nothing I can do now, so I have to go back.
Xu Daye was clearly unwilling, while Xi Quan remained silent, looking at Zhu Danu with a half-smile.
Zhu Daniu trembled at the sight of Xi Quan's meaningful smile, wondering if Xi Quan knew something. But seeing her husband's unwilling expression, Zhu Daniu had no time to think about whether Xi Quan knew anything. She could only quickly pull her husband away.
After the two of them left, Xi Quan asked his assistant to find someone to follow them until they got on the bus back to Xiaoyao Village.
After instructing his assistant, Xi Quan thought for a moment and then called Liu Yuliang.
I'm going to talk to him about the shares. Xi Quan and Ye Qing said they were a gift to Liu Yuliang, and while they were indeed a gift, there are also some ideas about the internal operations of Zitai Fashion that I need to discuss with Liu Yuliang.
