Chapter 126 The Song Family Falls
Meng Shuyue looked around at the aggressive shop owners and stopped Li Bin who wanted to speak for her.
Indeed, she was to blame for the fact that they could not demolish the house and could not get compensation.
In her previous life, after she died tragically, her soul drifted back to Kyoto.
Watching her parents live in confusion because of her death.
Three years later, when the brother came back from the countryside, both of them were in much worse health than before.
But the biggest fatal blow to them was that after hearing the news of the demolition of North Street, the two blamed each other for not buying the shop on North Street and instead bought the shop on South Street.
Two years later, they both died of depression.
When she was reborn, she tried many times to persuade her parents to sell the shop on South Street and buy one on North Street, but they all refused to believe her.
As she had no money, she had no choice but to give up. She could only find a way to rent a shop on North Street, thinking that when the time came for compensation, the landlord would eat the meat and she, the tenant, would get to have some soup.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jinxiao later bought the entire store and wrote her name on it.
It is clear that this street was demolished in the last life.
But in this life, because of her existence, everyone's dream of getting rich quickly has been shattered, so she does have to take responsibility.
She put the enamel cup in her hand on the table and looked at everyone with sharp eyes.
"Boss, the largest of your stores is probably only 60 square meters, and at 500 per square meter, the most you can get is 30,000 yuan in compensation, right?"
Everyone stared at her with an impatient look on their faces. "Doctor Meng, what do you mean? Thirty thousand yuan is something that we can't earn in several lifetimes. Do you think it's too little?"
"Yes, with this 30,000 yuan, my family can buy another house. We are not like you who can just pick a man who is rich. Anyway, you have to pay us the demolition fee!"
Everyone was talking at once, and some were so angry that they almost poked Meng Shuyue's forehead with their fingers.
Ignoring their anger, Meng Shuyue continued to speak logically, "Thirty thousand yuan is not a small amount, but what if you earn thirty thousand every year in the future?"
"As long as you believe in me, the 52 merchants will work together to turn this street into our own factory, and we can earn more money than the demolition compensation..."
"Come on! What are you saying when you are a woman and you make tens of thousands a year?"
Before Meng Shuyue could finish speaking, several older bosses interrupted her and couldn't bear to listen any longer, and started to lecture her.
"Why would we go and earn those illusory money when we have the ready-made money?"
"Do you think that Bai will make money by building a seaside resort here? In today's world, people are lucky to have enough food to eat. Who would want to go out and have fun? There are a few nouveau riche millionaires in Kyoto..."
This group of people surrounded her and spit at her, completely treating her words as bullshit. No one would believe that building a resort in this place would make money.
Finally, they threatened that she must get the demolition compensation within a week like other merchants on the street, otherwise they would be rude to her.
Some were so rude that they even kicked over the chairs in the store.
Not until everyone left the store that the children were awakened by the noise, and they all ran downstairs worriedly and threw themselves into Meng Shuyue's arms.
"Mom, why are they so fierce? Wuuuuu..."
Meng Shuyue was comforting the three sleepy children and looked up to meet Li Bin's worried gaze.
"What should we do, Shuyue? How can these people shift the blame to you? I think you should go find Chen..."
"I'm divorced from him and I won't look for him!"
Meng Shuyue interrupted his suggestion in a deep voice, looked towards the well in the backyard, and said in a firm and unquestionable tone, "I don't want to rely on him!"
Li Bin sighed, "I think Brother Chen may have really lost his memory. He was really good to you before, how could he have no feelings for you? With his status, he can definitely find someone to solve this problem. Otherwise, those bosses were born in the market, and there is no guarantee that they will not really do something."
Meng Shuyue touched the torn fabric of the dress under the shirt on her shoulders, her eyes clearer than ever before.
"I won't go to him, because dignity is more important than feelings!"
What's more, she remembered it clearly.
When she learned of his identity as the head of the group, he told her solemnly.
He would not use his identity to do anything convenient for his family and loved ones.
He would never do anything that would dishonor his status.
That's why he couldn't wait to force a divorce, just to be with Lin Shuang...
＊
On the second floor of the Song family, Shen Ting slammed the door outside.
After Shen Jinxiao opened the door indifferently, he returned to the table and wrote and drew on the paper.
Shen Ting got angry when she saw what he was drawing. She shook off Song Tingzong who had been trying to persuade her, snatched the paper from his hand, and said angrily, "Did you give her all your salary over the years? You gave her all the money we earned from the clothing store shares you gave her to buy the store. Now you only have more than 4,000 yuan left, and you gave it all to that bitch. How are you going to live in the future!"
Shen Jinxiao snatched the drawing paper she had taken away, raised his eyes and looked at the couple in front of him, the coldness in his eyes made people shudder.
"In the past three years, not only have you sold the courtyard house that my father left me, but you have also swallowed up all the living expenses I sent her. What qualifications do you have to question who I give the remaining money to?"
Song Shijing, Song Shiyu, and Song Shixuan, who had caught up, were standing at the door and just happened to hear Shen Jinxiao's words, their eyes widened in disbelief.
The three men rushed over, blocking the mother in the middle and attacking her from the left and right.
"Mom, how could you steal my uncle's property? And you even swallowed up the living expenses he gave to Shuyue!"
"Yes, mother, you should quickly apologize to uncle and Shuyue and return all the money to them."
Shen Ting's face was pale. She looked blankly at her three sons who were blushing and glaring at her. Then she looked at her husband who turned his head away with an ashamed look, and suddenly smiled sadly.
"Am I going to sell your grandfather's house? Am I going to embezzle the living expenses?"
"Without that money, do you think you could still live such a comfortable life, running a clinic or chasing that woman with a meager salary?"
Shen Ting burst into tears, telling about the difficulties she had faced in the past three years. The three of them then realized that due to the rise of department stores a few years ago, their family's store had been losing money every year, and the family was unable to make ends meet.
Song Shixuan looked even more embarrassed, and didn't dare to look at Shen Ting and Song Tingzong.
He was working as a successful department store manager, but he didn't know that his family was close to bankruptcy.
Song Tingzong stood up and sighed, "Jin Xiao, your sister and I are not cut out for business. When my father-in-law handed the business over to us, we felt bad for him and for you. We should have listened to Shuyue and changed the store to sell clothes for ordinary people, and it wouldn't have turned out like this!"
"Then you blame me now!" Chen Ting couldn't accept that the men in the family were all speaking for Meng Shuyue. She screamed, pushed them away in collapse, and ran out of the room crying.
Song Tingzong brushed his already weathered face and said to Shen Jinxiao with determination, "I have been planning to close those stores for a long time. Don't worry, I will also sell this house and pay you back!"
After he finished speaking, the three brothers were stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Seeing their father’s serious expression, the three of them all looked at Shen Jinxiao again, thinking that the uncle who had been willing to sacrifice himself for them would refuse.
As a result, Shen Jinxiao still lowered his head, and a light "whatever" directly threw them into endless panic.
Overnight, the century-old shop "Shen's Tailor" in Kyoto that had been passed down for generations collapsed completely, and the Song family, whose head was a translator, also moved away from the foreign villa where celebrities and businessmen gathered, and disappeared...
