Gu Sinian pulled Su Ying toward the office. As soon as they reached the door, they heard whispers coming from inside, though the voices were deliberately kept quiet.
But Gu Sinian's amazing hearing still allowed him to hear it.
The two were discussing how to maximize their profits, which greatly annoyed Gu Sinian.
In the end, not even a shred of kindness showed up.
He just wanted to give them the money, sign the agreement, and then part ways.
There's no need to deal with these hypocritical people anymore.
Gu Sinian pretended not to hear anything and stepped into the office.
When Liu Qinghe and Liu Dashan saw the two of them coming over, they immediately stood up from the sofa and bowed and scraped obsequiously, which made Gu Sinian lose any remaining goodwill he had towards them.
"Let's get straight to the point. We have other things to do later and can't give you any extra time. Just tell us what you need, and I'll do my best to help."
Liu Qinghe didn't come here today to reminisce; her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she needs to spend more money.
After all, they were her own flesh and blood, and she didn't want to wrong the child in her womb, so she had no choice but to come and find them.
Even the address was obtained by begging and pleading with the captain...
They had clearly agreed to give a sum of money as payment for raising Xiaobao, but unexpectedly, Commander Gu's wife broke her promise and ran away overnight, leaving them to search for her in great difficulty.
The family was so poor they couldn't even afford to eat, and Liu Dashan's hunting skills were simply not enough to support his family.
Moreover, Liu Dashan isn't the only one in Qingshuihe who knows how to hunt; there are plenty of men who can hunt, making the competition very fierce.
She's pregnant, and there will be many places where she'll need money in the future.
Although she also liked Xiaobao very much, after all, he had been with them for more than three years, it would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for him.
But now that she and Dashan have a biological child, Xiaobao doesn't seem so important anymore.
It's a good thing that Xiao Bao can return to his biological parents. To put it another way, it's better for Xiao Bao to stay with Commander Gu than with them.
After all, those conditions were what they were, and they were not comparable to them.
"Since Commander Gu has said so, then I won't beat around the bush... I won't waste your time."
Gu Sinian gestured for her to sit down, indicating that she was pregnant and her health should be taken into consideration.
If something happens in his office, he'll be in deep trouble no matter what.
It's best to resolve things peacefully and avoid making things too tense.
"Please speak!"
"That's right. Back then, Commander Gu's wife promised me that if I had a child of my own, she would give us a sum of money as compensation for raising the child for the past three years."
"I absolutely trust her, but she disappeared just before the agreed time. So, Commander Gu, go to Qingshuihe to pick her up."
Speaking of this, Gu Sinian was slightly embarrassed; his wife had indeed done something wrong.
No matter how sad, upset, or angry you are, you can't just leave.
They also went back on their word regarding the conditions they had initially proposed.
The young wife has absolutely no right to this.
"Well... well... it's because the situation was urgent, something happened at home, and I personally called the Qingshuihe brigade leader's house to ask my wife to come home early. There was a problem at home, and I was very busy that day, which led to what happened... it wasn't a pleasant experience..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan and Liu Qinghe clearly did not believe it, after all, they were not fools.
It's just an excuse.
They didn't intend to expose them, after all, they came here today not to argue, but for money.
There's no need to completely offend people.
"Oh... I see... We misunderstood. We've always believed that Commander Gu's wife keeps her word. After all, she's so kind and saved so many people during the earthquake. She wouldn't go back on her word."
Su Ying crossed her arms and watched the two perform with great interest; only now did she understand that saying.
The brigade leader said that Liu Dashan and Liu Qinghe were not as they appeared on the surface.
That's true.
It's not really like it seems on the surface.
However, she didn't intend to argue, but rather to get things done as soon as possible and get to the train station early.
The two children are still waiting for them at home; they can't leave for too long, or the children will be disappointed.
We must act swiftly and decisively.
"Indeed. I always keep my word. But the reason I left without saying goodbye that day was because something happened at home. I left a note in my room that day, didn't you see it?"
There... there was a note too?
Liu Dashan and Liu Qinghe looked at each other in bewilderment, while Fan had no idea about this matter.
The captain didn't tell them either.
"This...this...we don't know anything about the note...maybe the captain didn't see the note you left and thought you left without saying goodbye, which is why we're here today."
Su Ying lied without batting an eye, "Really?"
The two nodded in unison.
"It's possible the wind was too strong and blew it away."
Liu Dashan and Liu Qinghe's lips twitched; they didn't know whether the note was true or false.
casual.
As long as I can get the money today, that's all that matters.
"It's alright. Let it go if it gets blown away. It won't affect our coming here today to collect our original promise."
"You promised to give us a thousand yuan back then. You won't go back on your word, will you, Mrs. Gu?"
"How could that be? The money was promised to you, and it will definitely be given to you."
"That's good."
After all, she has so much money in her storage space, they can afford a thousand yuan.
"However, we have one condition, and we hope you can agree to it."
