"That's easy. I'll lend you 800 yuan, and you can pay me back 1,000 yuan next month. That way, I won't have any burden."
As soon as Qiu Yuling finished speaking, Li Qingmei shouted in disbelief, "What did you say? How much should I pay back?" Borrowing eight hundred and paying back one thousand, Huang Shiren was not so good at doing business back then!
Qiu Yuling repeated it again, broke it open and crumpled it up for her, saying, "Don't you think about it? Eight hundred is not a small amount, right? I have to get it from somewhere else. Not to mention treating you to a meal, I also have to pay some interest.
I'm a hand in the aisle, so I have to give some money, right? You always say that you cherish me the most, that you can rely on me the most, and that you give me everything. But now that the time has come for real action, you're not going to do it anymore?"
Li Qingmei slapped Qiu Yuling in anger, "Let's put it this way. Whatever I earn is what I give you, that's my due as a mother. And you're doing business with my own mother, and I shouldn't be surprised."
"Yes, just tell me if it's possible or not. If it's possible, I'll send you the money this afternoon. If it's not possible, then just ignore what I said."
Li Qingmei gritted her teeth and said, "It can be done. It's better to do it sooner rather than later. If it's too late, it will be snatched away."
"Ms. Li Qingmei, you have seen a lot of the world and now you know a lot, and you are also very courageous!" Qiu Yuling didn't expect that Li Qingmei really had this courage, but she couldn't help but want to tease her.
Li Qingmei sneered, "You think your mother is stupid? I heard your friend, Xiao Qiao, tell you about it when she came to our house last time. She said that she wanted you to buy more houses while she has money now. It seems that she even quit her formal job.
I thought at the time that since both of you have seen the world, and you can come together with the same ideas without any trickery, it means that it is probably a really good thing.
Your father and I have been walking around the alleys and have seen that many families are crammed into one large courtyard, making it difficult to turn around. Even this house is rented by them. When the government takes it back and returns it to the original owner, they will have to find a new way out. How many people can afford to buy an entire courtyard? Even if we split it up and buy it, no one will buy it..."
If the couple had not been hardworking people who were used to hardship, and had not accidentally started a small business going door to door and made some money, she would have been afraid that she would never have dared to dream of buying a house in Beijing in her life.
Qiu Yuling listened to her mother's talk all the way, and gave her affirmation from time to time, "You are right, so, I will leave one room and open a small store for you and my father. The neighbors can buy whatever they want nearby, and you and my father don't have to run around in the wind and sun.
But, I'll take care of your business and the supply, and you still have to give me a cut... Don't interrupt me, brothers should settle accounts clearly, and the same goes for us mother and daughter. Otherwise, I'll ask my grandma to come over and open a shop~ Grandma will definitely say 'all my Linglingwa's money' for everything she earns...
Qiu Yuling had no intention of really keeping her. She just wanted to save some money for their retirement. They didn't earn enough now, and no one cared about their sons. When the house prices went up and the business made money, they would all come forward to inherit. The old couple would probably have a hard time.
Originally she said she bought the house for them to live in, but the old couple insisted that they were right to buy it, so she let them do as they wished, but sooner or later there would be disputes.
"Are you on guard against your brothers?" Li Qingmei came to her senses and found it unbelievable.
In her impression, Qiu Yuling was the kind of person who was very generous to her brothers.
Qiu Yuling raised her eyebrows. "Couldn't I just be worried about you getting old and senile and favoring your son?"
"Ah, you dead girl, you said everything." Li Qingmei couldn't help but slapped him.
Qiu Yuling jumped away swiftly, "Eh, I missed~"
Having made enough of the fuss, she no longer planned to do good deeds anonymously, and explained the whole story to Li Qingmei, "... You see, you have to be my daughter, right? I have even thought about your future. What if they really become unfilial sons? You still have a lot of things to worry about. Let's be prepared for the worst..."
Li Qingmei fell silent. It was not uncommon for brothers to quarrel with each other. There was no such thing as not fighting. The more wealth a family had, the more likely it was that trouble would arise.
Another thing is that three thousand is not a small amount to buy a small yard nowadays. If it develops into what my daughter imagined, it will be enough to cause a lot of trouble for those guys.
"Alright then, I'll write you an IOU for the eight hundred yuan. I won't tear it up, so you keep it. You'll always have a share of the family property I've built. If someone starts talking about it, you can bring the evidence and see how they fight."
She wasn't sure whether her son was a good person, but she was certain that when that day came, her daughters-in-law would definitely be tempted. They were all the same children, and it wasn't just her sons who had to fight while her daughters just had to watch.
Qiu Yuling expressed her relief and even praised her mother, saying, "This is what a truly fair parent should be. You, Li Qingmei, deserve to enjoy this happiness!"
"You little girl, you're getting beaten up more and more as you grow older..." Li Qingmei was chased until she was out of breath, and Qiu Yuling even managed to escape...
Qiu Jianshe delivered the box to Qiu Yuling and just returned. "Hey, Yuling is here. I was thinking you'd gone home. The old lady next door said that she sees people delivering eggs to your house in the middle of the night every day. I thought I'd tell you to just have them deliver it here directly from now on to save the hassle of going back and forth..."
Li Qingmei stood in front and said, "Let's eat the noodles first. Then we'll go to look at the house and pay the rent in the afternoon. We'll talk about the eggs later."
"What house?"
"I saw a yard, let's buy our own house!"
“…”
She didn't want to eat the noodles anymore. "Then I'll go back and prepare some money. You two should eat early and come over. I'll ask someone to call the landlord over, and we can finish this all at once..."
"Eat something before you leave, so you don't have to cook again when you get back." Li Qingmei thought there was no rush, so she asked her daughter to finish eating before leaving.
Qiu Yuling kept refusing. They still thought that instant noodles were good things, but Qiu Yuling was not like that. She had spider-like cooking skills. It was rare for her to have to deal with it alone, so she had to hurry back to enjoy the feast!
"Her father, go in and get the steamed bun for your daughter. She can go home and make a bowl of milk powder with the steamed bun to make a meal. I just steamed the bun yesterday..."
The transaction in the afternoon was indeed not smooth. Qiu Yuling prepared an extra 500 yuan, but when she arrived, the landlord raised the price and said that someone offered 3,500 yuan!
Li Qingmei was anxious. "But I prepared the three thousand as you said before. Where can I find five hundred now?"
The middleman gave Qiu Yuling a subtle look, and Qiu Yuling understood. "Look, we'll pay it all right away. You won't have to wait and argue. As long as the transfer procedures are completed, we won't give you a penny less. Let's not talk about three thousand, but add a hundred for travel expenses. What do you think?"
"Let's not talk about three thousand and two, not a cent less..."
Li Qingmei tugged at Qiu Yuling's sleeve. This was a full thousand more than her original budget. Qiu Dashu's small courtyard was only a little over a thousand. This was too expensive for her!
