"Uncle Qin, it's not that I'm holding back. It's just that business has been tough lately, and collecting payments is even harder. I haven't even received the money yet, so how can I pay you?"
Qin Su'an's patience finally ran out. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you trying to default on your debt again?"
Xie Wanyun sneered, "You don't do business, so how can you understand the difficulties involved? Few people in this world are honest and trustworthy, but many are greedy for profit. When they beg me for help, they all speak beautifully, but when it's time to fulfill their obligations, they shirk their responsibilities. I'm helpless."
Qin Su'an's face flushed a little, but he was thick-skinned and quickly adjusted his attitude. He said, "No matter what, the money owed to the two ladies must be paid."
"Well, take a look at this." Xie Wanyun threw out a piece of paper expressionlessly.
Qin Suan took it and looked at it. It said Li Youcai - 200 taels, Sun Guofu - 300 taels...
What's the meaning?
Xie Wanyun said, "These are all people who owe money to the Xie family shop. If Uncle Qin can get it back, I'll give it to you as dividends."
Qin Su'an took a breath.
Xie Wanyun, you're really amazing! You don't want to offend anyone, so you use me as a pawn?
I'm collecting legitimate dividends, and I have to work for you for free? Do you think I, Qin Su'an, am stupid? Which of these debtors is easy to mess with? You can't do anything about it, and you want me to be beaten? This business is too cunning.
Seeing his gnashing teeth, Xie Wanyun felt contempt in his heart and said coldly, "If Master Qin doesn't want to, then wait until I get the payment back. Even if you report this to the authorities, there's nothing you can do."
Qin Su'an finally understood that Xie Wanyun had no intention of paying him. Even the so-called complaint to the authorities had come to nothing.
"Xie Wanyun, don't forget, we are still officially married and officially registered. Don't go too far! If I open the ancestral hall and ask the elders of the clan to judge this matter, I will be right. Don't force me."
Xie Wanyun was slightly startled. Qin Su'an's words were true. It wasn't that she couldn't handle it, but it was indeed a bit troublesome. They hadn't divorced; regardless of whether they were separated or not, they were still husband and wife. Although Qin Su'an's move was embarrassing, it did have an effect.
She was still a member of the Qin family, and this alone bound her hands and feet.
It seems that the matter of divorcing the husband needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Seeing her silent and pensive, Qin Su'an felt proud and said, "How is it? Give me the money!"
Xie Wanyun's eyes turned cold, and he said calmly, "What's due will naturally be given to you. I don't have it right now. If you want to open a clan temple, go ahead. I'll be waiting."
"You!" Qin Su'an almost couldn't catch his breath. He clenched his fist fiercely, wanting to smash it into her cold and beautiful face.
However, he was not crazy at all, and knew he could not win. He could only swallow his saliva and said bitterly: "You are so cruel, just wait and see."
He stood up and limped out.
Xie Wanyun narrowed her eyes slightly. This matter was a bit tricky.
Qin Su'an was furious on his way back, thinking only of how to punish Xie Wanyun. Fortunately, he hadn't divorced his wife in the first place, otherwise, where would he go to seek justice now?
He also knew that the people in his clan looked down on them. When his branch was prosperous, they not only didn't help the other branches, but mocked and ridiculed them. Now that they were down and out and wanted to ask for help, he wondered if they would be willing to do their best.
But no matter what, they all have the surname Qin, so they can't just turn their elbows outward, right?
Qin Su'an understood this, and in the next few days he visited all the important people in the clan. He also endured the pain and gave generous gifts to the clan leader in the hope that these people could help him.
That day, when he came out of the clan leader's house, his carriage was not waiting at the door. He cursed, "You dog slave, you've been slacking off while I'm away. Wait till I teach you a lesson."
He asked his personal servant to go look for him, but after waiting for a long time, no one showed up. He became anxious and walked towards home. Just as he turned into an alley, he saw a drunk man coming towards him, staggering and cursing, and almost bumping into him.
