Chapter 126 Loss
"It's the Chinese New Year celebration. We experienced a lot of bad luck last year. Let's wash away the dirt this time. A new year, a new atmosphere..."
"Enough!"
Zhou Yiyang shouted angrily, and frightened Zhou Qing, who was imagining a better life in the future, into silence.
After a moment, Zhou Qing was also unhappy.
"What are you crazy about? It's a day worth being happy. Why are you so disappointing!"
Zhou Yiyang was already in a bad mood today, and Zhou Qing argued with him. He was like a lit gunpowder barrel and soon caught fire.
"What are you spending your money on? Did you buy things for yourself and those two little bastards!"
Zhou Qing frowned and shouted loudly.
"What's wrong with buying new clothes? Who doesn't buy new clothes for the New Year? Fangze, you have had new clothes in these years!"
Zhou Qing didn't know what she was thinking about, and her expression became gloomy.
"Why, I bought the new clothes this year, not Qin Shu, so you are unhappy?"
Zhou Qing felt that she seemed to have hit the point, and couldn't help but sneered.
"Did I hit the nail on the head? But if you wanted Qin Shu to buy clothes for you so much, why did you divorce her?"
"You slut!"
Zhou Yiyang was so angry that he slapped Zhou Qing in the face.
Zhou Fangze and Zhou Fangyu, brother and sister, came back at this time.
Zhou Qing and Zhou Yiyang have been arguing from time to time recently, and Zhou Fangze has been used to it.
But no matter how fiercely they quarreled, Zhou Yiyang hadn't hit her.
But now...
Seeing the blood oozing from the corners of Zhou Qing's mouth, Zhou Fangyu looked indifferent, but Zhou Fangze's eyes darkened.
"Mom, how are you?"
He walked forward worriedly, and Zhou Qing came back to her senses.
"You go back to your room first, and come out after dinner."
After sending the two children away, Zhou Qing suppressed her anger and asked in a low voice.
"What's going on?"
After all, she has been with Zhou Yiyang for more than ten years, and she also knows this pillow man. Something must have happened today.
Zhou Yiyang couldn't hold it anymore and roared angrily.
"You spend all day buying clothes and other things. We don't even have money to buy clothes now! Sooner or later, our family will be squandered by you and we won't even have enough to eat!"
Zhou Qing's eyes widened when she heard this, but she didn't forget to mock.
"You are incompetent, but you blame us for squandering all our assets. What kind of man are you?"
Zhou Yiyang was stabbed in the lungs. He wanted to slap him again, but stopped in mid-air.
"That batch of medicinal herbs, the ones I bought at a high price, are all gone! I don't know how Qin Shu's connections suddenly knew that I was no longer a member of the Qin family, and they were unwilling to continue to introduce rich people to me!"
Zhou Yiyang's eyes were filled with red, and at this moment he looked like a beast on the verge of collapse.
"Is it you, jealous of Qin Shu, who leaked the news on purpose!"
He could no longer keep calm, and he attacked everyone he met without any logic.
Zhou Qing was speechless.
"If you just use your brain to think about it, what good will it do me if you have no money!"
Zhou Yi slumped down on the stool and buried his head in his arms.
"It's all over now, I can't sell that batch of goods, and I can't get the money. In order to buy those goods, I spent all my family savings and borrowed a lot of money, but now it's all gone!"
Connections are the most important thing in doing business here.
Now he has neither the relationship with Qin Shu nor the relationship with the Wang family. This batch of medicinal materials can only be sold at a lower price, and the money sold is estimated to not even be enough to pay back the money they owe!
Zhou Qing didn't expect Zhou Yiyang to fail so badly this time, and she felt uneasy.
After all, their food, clothing and
daily expenses still depend on Zhou Yiyang. If he goes bankrupt, everyone in the family will be ruined. "Why don't you talk to Li Shiquan and return all the money at the original price? This way, you won't lose or gain anything, and at most you'll waste some time."
Zhou Yiyang raised his head after hearing this, and thought of Li Shiquan who was a little arrogant on the day of the transaction, and immediately shook his head hesitantly.
"If I really do this, where is my dignity, and I won't be able to save face!"
Zhou Qing held her forehead speechlessly.
"We are almost bankrupt now, why do you still care about your face?"
Seeing that Zhou Yiyang was still hesitant, Zhou Qing persuaded him again.
"This time you put down your face and go to him to return the goods, get back the principal, and then do business again, make more and more money, how can Li Shiquan dare to give you a face?"
Zhou Yiyang was convinced by Zhou Qing's words, and he began to think about how to go to Li Shiquan to return the goods.
Seeing that the Zhou family fell into silence again, the third brother wanted to jump down with Xixi in his arms, but turned around and saw Qin Shu with a sullen face.
Yes, that's right, jump down.
In order to see the Zhou family's jokes, the third brother ignored the fact that he couldn't hear clearly outside the door, and actually took Xixi to the roof directly.
The two of them took advantage of the rooftop to secretly watch the show. Zhou Yiyang and the others didn't notice the person on the roof.
The third brother just sighed that his trip today was not in vain, but he was frightened by his mother who had been watching them for who knows how long.
He held Xixi and climbed down the ladder set up by the guards obediently.
Qin Shu took Qin Xixi in early, fearing that she would be dropped by the third brother with rough hands and feet.
But the third brother didn't have such good luck.
Qin Shu led the two of them to the Li Mansion and was silent all the way.
Qin Xixi felt that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly blinked her big eyes at Qin Shu, and rubbed Qin Shu's hand with her furry head.
Qin Shu was amused by little Xixi and touched her little face.
The third brother heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, thinking that Qin Shu had calmed down. Unexpectedly, Qin Shu suddenly turned around and gave him a threatening look.
The third child: ...
Why is it always him who gets hurt!
Seeing that his mother was happy, little Xixi fell asleep peacefully in her arms.
[Mother's embrace is so warm, Xixi loves it so much!]
Before going to bed, he continued to flatter his mother to avoid getting hurt.
The group returned to the Li residence, and Qin Shu carried Xixi towards the bedroom.
The third child wanted to take the opportunity to run away, but heard Qin Shu say without turning back.
"You go to the warehouse to count the goods. You are not allowed to sleep until you finish counting."
The third child also found that it was already past dinner time. He sighed and went to the warehouse bitterly.
Qin Shu looked at Qin Xixi who was already asleep, and knew that she at least played a role in instigating it. She helplessly tapped little Xixi's forehead lightly.
"You, you are not obedient."
Qin Shu put Xixi on the bed and went to the hall to discuss the next matter with Li Shiquan. Before she started talking, she heard the servants report.
"Master, Zhou Yiyang is here to see you!"
