Chapter 244, Give me back my money! (Subscribe)
"How much did you pay for the house you liked?"
Li Guilian looked at the bank card balance in the text message on her mobile phone with a smile on her face. She is a typical example of favoring boys over girls.
To her, her daughter is an outsider who will get married sooner or later. Now, while she is still here, she wants to squeeze out as much surplus value as possible.
My son Liu Xiaojie has a girlfriend right now, but they don’t even have a house to marry in, so there’s no way they can get married.
In order to buy a wedding house for Liu Xiaojie, the mother and son staged this self-torture spree, just to get money from Liu Qingwu. Even though Li Guilian knew that her daughter might not have much savings, in her opinion, her daughter was beautiful and had so many suitors around her, so it should not be difficult for her to get money.
The result was just as she expected. In just one day, her daughter raised more than 400,000 yuan. Li Guilian even regretted that the target of 500,000 yuan she had set was too low.
If I had known that my daughter had such a strong ability to raise money, I should have asked for one million!
"That house cost 320,000 yuan, and the remaining money was just enough for the betrothal gift."
There is actually a reason for the number 500,000. Liu Xiaojie liked a house that cost 320,000 yuan, and his girlfriend's family wanted a dowry of 180,000 yuan.
The total amount is exactly 500,000!
"House prices are dropping now. Let's go to the real estate agency tomorrow and bargain with the landlord. Maybe we can get a discount of tens of thousands of yuan."
Liu Qingwu's hometown is a small county town with a population of only 300,000 to 400,000 people. The housing prices are relatively cheap, and with the plummeting housing prices in the past two years, more than 300,000 yuan can buy a small three-bedroom apartment of more than 90 square meters, and it is already fully renovated.
"Well, I'll tell Xiaoli the good news."
Liu Xiaojie happily went to call his girlfriend.
Faculty and staff dormitory.
Liu Qingwu grabbed Shen Qiushan's hand with gratitude: "Old Shen, thank you!"
"I really don't know what I would do without your help."
"Saving lives is the most important thing."
Shen Qiushan waved his hand gently: "However, I think you'd better go back. I heard that the transaction needs to go to the border. Your parents are old, and they may not be able to handle such a thing. If you have cousins at home, it's best to bring them with you."
"Uh-huh!"
"I have asked for leave from school and will be back tomorrow morning."
Liu Qingwu nodded repeatedly, and then said weakly: "Old Shen, I don't know when I can pay back so much money."
"You know, our teachers' salaries are quite low, especially since I'm still an intern."
“There’s no rush for money.”
"Wait until you have it!"
Shen Qiushan shrugged indifferently. To him, 280,000 was no different from 28 yuan.
It's just an expensive cup of milk tea!
"Old Shen, I know you are not short of money."
"But that's 280,000. If there's anything you need me to do, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I won't refuse!"
Before, Liu Qingwu had been struggling to find an excuse to sacrifice herself voluntarily, but now the opportunity was in front of her.
Someone lent me 280,000 yuan!
She can't pay it back for a while!
It would be better to just pay it back with sex and let the relationship between the two people undergo a qualitative change first.
Based on such considerations, Liu Qingwu said such highly suggestive words.
While speaking, she even deliberately pulled down the neckline of her tube top dress.
How could Shen Qiushan not know Liu Qingwu's "ulterior motives"? He immediately waved his hand and said, "Teacher Liu, if you really want to repay me, go to the Red Rose Tavern to help out during the winter vacation!"
The Red Rose Band has many performances coming up, including the Spring Festival Gala.
Therefore, it is impossible for Hu Tingting to continue to take charge of the management of the tavern, but Liu Qingwu can take over for the time being.
"Uh, okay!"
Seeing that Shen Qiushan did not make any further requests, Liu Qingwu was a little disappointed, but being able to go to the Red Rose Tavern to help would naturally give her more opportunities to interact with Shen Qiushan, which was a good option.
"Teacher Liu, if there is nothing else, I will go and get busy first."
It is not advisable to stay in a place of trouble for too long, so Shen Qiushan said hello and slipped away.
After a semester of contact, he had a general understanding of Liu Qingwu's character. Teacher Liu wanted to marry a rich man and worked very hard to achieve this goal.
What can be seen is that she persists in fitness. Liu Qingwu can always be seen in the school gym. As for other efforts made in secret, there should be no shortage of them.
Shen Qiushan could understand her desire to marry a rich man. After all, she was not the only woman who had this idea. There were too many women with similar ideals.
But there are actually not many people who can really make up their minds and work hard for this goal. Most of the "little fairies" are daydreaming about a domineering president falling in love with them. They don't think about improving themselves, but just hope that the domineering president will drop from the sky one day.
Women with a higher IQ will try hard to make themselves look like what rich men like. Appearance and figure are naturally the first priority, followed by temper and cultivation.
Although most of the so-called "socialites" in society are out to make money, their underlying logic is actually correct. Rich people are not fools. If they are willing to spend money on you, then you must provide the value they need.
This value is multifaceted, including sexual value, emotional value, etc.
Liu Qingwu is the type of person who is sober, so she will work hard to improve herself!
And in Shen Qiushan's opinion, there is no need to denounce a woman like Liu Qingwu.
What's wrong with working hard for your ideals?
It’s just that the direction of efforts is different.
Some women choose to work hard on their careers, while others choose to work hard on getting men.
The final endings of these two types of women are often not too bad. The worst ones are those little fairies lying in bed daydreaming!
Her looks are rated 5 points, but after using the beauty filter, I feel like no one is worthy of her.
She has a bad temper and is not destined to be a princess, but she has the diseases of a princess!
In contrast, hard-working "green tea" girls like Liu Qingwu are actually not annoying, because they are able to recognize themselves and face reality.
It makes you feel comfortable to be with people like them.
Many times, they are a bit like the corrupt officials and favorites of ancient emperors.
Do you think the emperor doesn’t know that they are corrupt officials!
It is because they can provide enough emotional value to the emperor and are not as "smelly and stubborn" as some loyal ministers.
Ultimately, the essence of human nature does not change.
How many so-called "sages" have there been throughout history? When you live your life, especially when you have gained enough power, of course you should live the way you feel comfortable!
Otherwise, what's the use of this power?
The next day.
Liu Qingwu took a bus back to her hometown, Qingcheng County, early in the morning.
Sanjiang is not far from Qingcheng County, only about 200 kilometers, and Qingcheng County originally belonged to Sanjiang City.
Rizhao Machinery Factory family quarters.
Liu Qingwu's father used to be an employee of a machinery factory. The house was allocated by the factory. It has two bedrooms and a living room of more than 70 square meters.
Later, after his younger brother Liu Xiaojie was born, there were not enough rooms at home, so the balcony was converted into a small room, and the neglected Liu Qingwu lived in the "balcony".
After Liu Qingwu went to college, she seldom went home, so her room became a storage room filled with useless things.
The bus drove for about three hours.
Liu Qingwu returned to the hometown she had always wanted to escape from. As she walked into the family quarters of the machinery factory, she felt inexplicably heavy.
Because her family has always favored boys over girls, Liu Qingwu never felt much love from her parents since she was a child.
Instead, I was always taught to give in to my younger brother and be nice to him.
When she was young, she didn’t quite understand these things. It was not until she had studied in college for two years that she gradually began to understand them.
Not every family is like this, and not all parents favor boys over girls!
Therefore, her emotions towards this family are rather complicated. It can be said that she loves and hates it, resents and misses it!
"Qingwu is back, is it holiday?"
At the door of her own unit, Liu Qingwu met her neighbor Zhang Yayun.
"No."
Liu Qingwu shook her head: "Isn't it Xiaojie who is in trouble?"
The residential area for family members of the machinery factory is not very big, so if something happens in one family, everyone will know about it even if they don’t tell others.
On the phone, Li Guilian told Liu Qingwu that even the neighbors had contributed money.
Therefore, Liu Qingwu has already assumed that Zhang Yayun knew that her brother Liu Xiaojie had been deceived.
"ah?"
"What happened, Xiaojie?"
To Liu Qingwu's surprise, Zhang Yayun was very surprised: "When I was shopping at the morning market, I met your mother. I heard her say that she was going to buy a house for Xiaojie today."
"Isn't this why you came back?"
"Buy a house for Xiaojie?"
Liu Qingwu raised her eyebrows, and a bad premonition suddenly emerged in her mind.
Before this, her younger brother Liu Xiaojie had lied to her once, saying that he had been in a fight with someone and injured the other person, and that he had to pay 50,000 yuan in compensation. If she didn't pay, he would go to jail.
Liu Qingwu was an intern who had just started working, so where would she get the money from? She could only cash it out from her credit card.
Later she found out that her brother Liu Xiaojie had never fought with anyone, let alone injured anyone and needed to pay compensation.
After hearing what Zhang Yayun said, bad memories immediately emerged in Liu Qingwu's mind.
However, the situation was different this time. Her mother Li Guilian also sent her a video of her younger brother Liu Xiaojie being abused.
In the video, the younger brother Liu Xiaojie was locked in a big iron cage, it was so miserable!
"Don't you know?"
"Your mother said you paid for it!"
Zhang Yayun said with a suspicious look on her face.
"Oh, I know."
“But I didn’t know I was going to buy a house today.”
"Aunt Zhang, I'll go up first!"
Liu Qingwu could almost conclude that she had been cheated again.
However, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that her mother would not collude with her brother to trick her.
That’s 500,000, not a small amount!
They know that I can't come up with the money, so how could they force me to do so using such despicable means?
Liu Qingwu dragged her heavy feet up the stairs. Their home was on the fourth floor. When she walked to the staircase leading to the third floor from the second floor, a familiar voice suddenly came from upstairs.
"Mom, hurry up, we've already made an appointment with the landlord!"
"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"
"When you go to buy a house, you have to dress decently so that others won't look down on you."
The two people who were talking were my younger brother Liu Xiaojie and my mother Li Guilian.
The glimmer of hope in Liu Qingwu's heart was finally shattered!
Yesterday he said that his younger brother Liu Xiaojie was deceived and taken to northern Myanmar, where he was tortured beyond recognition.
As a result, I am now at home and have to buy a house.
It's obvious that I was cheated!
Liu Qingwu gritted her teeth and rushed upstairs in big strides.
On the stairs leading from the third floor to the fourth floor, she and her younger brother Liu Xiaojie almost bumped into each other.
"Blind..."
Liu Xiaojie was busy looking down at his phone, and when he was bumped into, he cursed subconsciously.
But when he saw the person he bumped into, he was stunned. After a long while, he stammered, "Sister, why are you back?"
"Weren't you tricked into going to northern Myanmar?"
"Aren't you going to die?"
"Did I see a ghost?"
Liu Qingwu questioned with a cold face.
"Well……"
Liu Xiaojie was speechless and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
At this time, Li Guilian, who had put on makeup, walked out of the house, and when she saw Liu Qingwu standing on the stairs, she was also shocked.
But she reacted much faster than Liu Xiaojie. The shock on her face flashed away, and then she said with a smile: "Qingwu, I was just about to tell you the good news that Xiaojie was released."
"I didn't expect you to come back. That's great. I was just about to take Xiaojie out to dinner to celebrate his new life!"
“Are we going to celebrate or to buy a house?”
Liu Qingwu asked back with a cold face.
"Uh, buying a house?"
"What house can I buy? We don't have the money to buy a house!"
Li Guilian flatly denied it.
Liu Qingwu couldn't help but sneer: "I've heard your conversation just now."
"It's not true that Xiaojie was cheated, it's true that I was cheated!"
"And I was deceived by you two, the people closest to me!"
Liu Qingwu's face was ashen, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Give me back my money!"
“I borrowed all that money!”
Seeing that she couldn't pretend any longer, Li Guilian immediately put away the smile on her face and said with a stern face: "Qingwu, your brother is getting married, and the gift and the house are all money. Isn't it normal for you, as a sister, to pay a little?"
"I paid for your college and graduate school. Was it easy from childhood to adulthood?"
"Now that Xiaojie needs money for his wedding, and you're working and earning money, isn't it natural for you to help your brother?"
"You are siblings. After your father and I are gone, he will be your only relative in this world!"
Li Guilian directly used the trick of family kidnapping.
But Liu Qingwu didn't buy it at all. She stretched out her hand, gritted her teeth, and tried her best not to let the tears flow out of her eyes.
He spat out four words in a cold tone: "Give me back my money!"
"Liu Qingwu, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Now Xiaojie is getting married, and the woman wants a gift and a wedding house. If you don't pay, how can your brother get married?"
Li Guilian questioned with confidence.
"Don't get married if you don't have the ability!"
"If you have money, just pay. I won't pay for this anyway!"
After confirming that it was really her mother and brother who conspired to deceive her, Liu Qingwu completely gave up.
Now she just wants to get the money back. She can't lose her money even without her family.
