Chapter 93 Confidentiality Fee
As expected, a dog can't spit out ivory.
Chu Zhi is as vicious as ever.
You want to keep your mouth shut and swear an oath for just two hundred yuan?
You wish!
Chu Xuan laughed sarcastically, "Do you think I'm short of money? Two hundred yuan will only get me to promise not to mention your secret to the Pan family. As for the rest, forget it!"
Chu Zhi cursed Chu Xuan in his heart, but didn't dare to say anything because he didn't want to offend her.
Comparing two thousand yuan and two hundred yuan, two thousand yuan is naturally more important.
Besides, I extorted several hundred dollars from his mother yesterday, and I didn’t spend it all. I still have more than two hundred dollars left, which is enough for the hush money this time.
He took out a handful of money from his pocket with a painful heart, counted out two hundred yuan, and handed it to Chu Xuan.
"You count them."
Chu Xuan took it with a look of disdain and counted it out, "Yes, it's two hundred yuan. I will keep it a secret for you in front of the Pan family."
"You have to keep your word, or I'll come to your house and ask for the two hundred yuan back."
"If you say one more word, I'll throw two hundred dollars in your face and won't keep your secret any longer!"
"Don't worry! I'll just leave."
Chu Zhi left embarrassedly.
He cursed himself inwardly for being unable to hold his head up in front of Chu Xuan.
She fantasizes that one day, he will shit on her head and vent his anger.
Chu Xuan took the money, returned to the bedroom, and placed it on the table. "Xiao Feng, this is what we just earned!"
Chu Feng didn't go out just now, but he had been paying close attention and knew that this was the confidentiality fee.
"Don't miss out on that idiot's money! I'll go collect it."
She was about to stand up, but Chu Xuan stopped her, "No need to put it away. We'll take the two hundred yuan to the county town later. Spend it as much as you want and buy whatever you want!"
It’s not painful to spend unexpected money.
What's more, it's Chu Zhi's money that is being spent, so not only will I not feel bad about it, I will also feel super happy!
Chu Feng cheered, "Great!"
He wanted to buy a new schoolbag with five big red characters printed on it, and he also wanted a new set of clothes and a pair of canvas shoes...
Half an hour later, they finished their lunch.
Take money, carry a backpack, and lock the door.
First, we took a horse carriage to the town, and then changed to another carriage to the county seat.
When we arrived in the county town, we went straight to the department store.
Chu Xuan would buy for Chu Feng whatever he wanted.
After shopping in the department store, Chu Feng accompanied Chu Xuan to see an old Chinese doctor.
Doctor Zhang was very enthusiastic when he saw Chu Xuan. "My niece's grilled fish fillets are selling well. She wanted to call you to order more, but I stopped her. I'll check the weather and advise her to wait until the typhoon season is over before ordering more. Your business should also consider weather changes and don't stock too much."
Chu Xuan was very grateful. "Thank you for your reminder. If nothing unexpected happens, all my goods will be sold out today."
"That's good."
Next, Doctor Zhang took Chu Xuan's pulse, and this time the pulse was obviously better.
I adjusted the prescription, taking the weather into consideration, and prescribed her half a month's supply of Chinese medicine...
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xuan and her brother returned home carrying two backpacks full of supplies.
Just as I finished tidying up and was about to cook, Mu Chenze knocked on the door and came in.
"I came here to collect the delivery money. I made five hundred and sixty dollars today. It's all here. Unfortunately, I didn't get the big ham."
Actually, I wanted to come over to deliver the money in the morning, but I was too sleepy to open my eyes, so I took a nap first.
Even though he didn't buy the ham, Chu Feng still thanked Mu Chenze, took the money, confirmed it was correct, and went to the bedroom to record the accounts.
Chu Xuan called Mu Chenze to come in as well, and calculate the dividends from grilled fish fillets and sea fishing together.
But Mu Chenze gave a fixed price of only seven hundred yuan.
Don't take the extra ones.
Chu Xuan wanted to refute, but was blocked by Mu Chenze's proposal to give Xiao Feng a share of the profits.
Mu Chenze emphasized again that without Xiaofeng's traceless acupuncture method, he would have to pay hundreds of dollars in compensation.
In the end, Mu Chenze only took 700 yuan, and no matter who owed whom, he would no longer mention the previous accounts.
Chu Xuan invited him to dinner, but he declined.
After seeing him off, Chu Xuan and his sister began to prepare dinner.
There is still a piece of ham left from yesterday, and I plan to make vegetable and ham noodles.
Chu Xuan was just about to knead the dough when there was a knock on the door.
He put down the watering can, walked into the yard, and saw Pan Xiaoli standing at the door.
Chu Xuan didn't feel any psychological burden because he indirectly caused Pan Xiaoli to be broken off from engagement by Chu Zhi. He might even save Pan Xiaoli's life.
Pan Xiaoli's eyes were a little red and swollen, apparently she had been crying.
"Chu Xuan, how did you know my secret? Why did you tell Chu Zhi?"
Chu Xuan guessed what Feng Chunhua had said to Pan Xiaoli.
She wouldn't be so foolish as to admit it, or she would fall into Feng Chunhua's trap. She spread her hands and said, "How could I possibly know your secret? What did I tell Chu Zhi? Feng Chunhua and Chu Zhi have always been at odds with me. They just like to throw dirty water on me. Everyone in the village knows it. By the way, you are from the next village. You don't know how their family tortures me and my younger brother, do you?"
Pan Xiaoli was a little embarrassed and said, "I've heard a little bit."
In the past, Chu Zhi often told her how to beat and scold Chu Xuan and her brother.
Chu Xuan's face was serious. "Since you've heard about it, do you still believe what Feng Chunhua and the others said?"
"Of course I don't believe it, otherwise I wouldn't have come here in person to verify it." Pan Xiaoli's eyes rolled around, and she deliberately lowered her voice. "Do you know some secrets of the Chu Zhi family? If you can tell me, I'll give you ten yuan as a thank you."
"I really didn't know that. If I had known, I wouldn't have left the house empty-handed when the family split up. Later, I found out that my father wasn't Feng Chunhua's biological son. Only with the help of the security team and the village chief was I able to get my father's compensation back. Why don't you ask someone else?"
Pan Xiaoli looked disappointed. "Okay! Now Chu Zhi wants to break off the engagement with me. Do you have any good ideas to help me?"
"You are beautiful and have a good figure. Chu Zhi is not worthy of you at all. Breaking off the engagement is a good thing for you!"
"But his family is rich!"
"You can find someone richer in the future! There's no need to waste your energy on a man like him. A man like him who's lazy and likes to beat people up is fit to be a bachelor for the rest of his life. He used to beat me and my younger brother so hard. If those punches landed on you, do you think you could withstand it?"
These words successfully reminded Pan Xiaoli.
"Thank you for your advice."
Turn around and leave.
Chu Xuan glanced at the big tree not far away where Chu Zhi was hiding and eavesdropping.
After Pan Xiaoli's back was out of sight, Chu Zhi came out from behind the tree, his face filled with anger. "Chu Xuan, are you hoping I'll be single? What kind of things did you say to Pan Xiaoli? Not a single good word! She'll definitely spread the word. And, it was you who reminded me to take her to the hospital for a checkup, and you didn't admit it..."
Chu Xuan sneered, "Anyway, I didn't mention your secret. Why should I admit it? Considering how you used to beat and scold Xiao Feng, do you think I deserve to speak well of you? Get as far away from me as you can!"
Chu Zhi was so angry that his fingers were shaking. "You change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book! You charged me 200 yuan! Can't you just talk to me properly?"
"No! The two hundred yuan has expired. Goodbye!"
Chu Xuan raised his foot and pretended to kick him.
He was so frightened that he ran away in panic.
Chu Xuan was in a good mood.
In her previous life, Chu Zhi spent her subsidy and was never nice to her. Today, he finally gets to feel it too!
As I turned to go back to the yard, I heard the voice of Accountant Wen from not far away.
"Chu Xuan, the village office has your number! It's a man who won't give his name. Call me back in fifteen minutes!"
"Thank you for coming all the way. I'll be there right away."
Chu Xuan said hello to his younger brother and walked quickly towards the village office.
Who called her?
