Chapter 344 The Battle of Three Brothers
Zhuang Chaoying hadn't even taken a few steps when he started to lecture the two children:
"They are elders after all, how can you be so disrespectful?"
The two knew what kind of person Zhuang Chaoying was, so they didn't respond. It would have been useless even if they had.
As soon as they went out, one said he was going home and the other said he was going to find classmates, and they both ran away quickly.
It was not until yesterday afternoon that Zhuang Chaoying called Tuanan over and said that his grandparents had called and asked him to go over for an urgent matter, but he had to go to school for something and could not go.
Tuanan knew that these two people were going to cause trouble, so he prepared to go and see what they were trying to do.
Pengfei was worried about him and wanted to follow him.
Hongbin was worried about the two of them, so he followed them.
When they arrived at the door of the house, Hongbin went to the toilet first because of stomachache, so Tunan and Pengfei went into the house first.
When Zhuang's mother saw that it was two children coming, she was very unhappy and asked, "Where is your father?"
"My dad went to a meeting at school." Tunan answered while looking at the two guests in his house.
They were wearing Zhongshan suits that were neither new nor old, one dark blue and the other dark gray. They were both carrying leather bags and looked like clerks in government agencies.
The man smiled and asked, "Aunt Zhuang, this is your grandson!"
"Yes," Zhuang's mother suddenly had an idea. She pulled Tunan in front of the two of them and said, "My grandson is amazing! He's studying at a university in Beijing! He'll be a high-ranking official when he graduates, even more capable than his father, so it's no different if his father lets him come."
The two men looked at each other.
Tunan became alert.
Just now, after the two of them came in and left the door open for Hongbin, Tunan glanced at Pengfei and said, "Pengfei, go close the door."
Pengfei understood, stood up and took two quick steps to the door. When he got to the door, he did not close it immediately, but waited for Hongbin to come over.
As soon as he saw Hong Bin, he said to the outside of the door: "Grandma Zhang, we are here to see grandpa and grandma."
As he spoke, he waved his hands vigorously at Hongbin.
Hongbin understood and did not come in, but stood at the corner of the wall.
Pengfei closed the door, and Tunan asked, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
"That's right, these two are here to help your third uncle..."
"Oh, how can I help?" Tuanan put away the sharpness in his eyes and pretended to be nice.
"They can get your third uncle out sooner."
"Oh! Then let's go to the inner room and talk!" Tuanan made a gesture of invitation.
Turning around, he instructed Pengfei, "Pengfei, don't run around. I'll find you later and I'll have to buy you some white medicine when I go back."
The other two were a little confused, and Tunan explained, "Oh, my cousin is too naughty. He's always hurt here and there. Let's go to my grandfather's room and talk. My grandfather is the boss of our family."
The two nodded, stood up and went into the inner room where Zhuang's father lived with everyone else.
Pengfei waited for them to knock on the door, then he immediately tiptoed to the door, gently opened it, leaned out and coughed lightly.
Hongbin flashed out and approached Pengfei. Pengfei bit his ear and said something, and Hongbin turned and ran away.
Pengfei closed the door gently and turned to go back into the house, deliberately making loud noises as he walked to let the people in the house know that he was still there.
Tunan asked, "My uncle must have suffered a lot in there. It would be great if he could get out sooner. I wonder if you two can help? What can our family do?"
The man in the dark blue Mao suit laughed and said, "Ah, being educated is different! You understand reason."
Then he took the trouble to repeat to Tunan the set of arguments he had prepared for Zhuang's father and mother.
Tunan thought it was a perfect match, but after all, his stepfather was a detective and his uncle was a legal expert!
He remained calm, listened attentively, and asked questions from time to time.
The man explained in a realistic manner.
Finally, Tunan asked, "That requires us to..."
"Now it's a matter of money. We talked to Aunt Zhuang, but she said they don't have that much money, so she asked your father to come. Oh, it's the same if you come.
Let me introduce you, this is Boss Wang. He's one of the earliest self-employed individuals in Suzhou, one of the earliest to earn ten thousand yuan! He has money on hand and can lend it to you for a small interest. He'll have a little income, and you can solve a big problem, right?"
The two finally revealed their purpose, but Tunan had already guessed it.
The man in gray patted his bag and said, "I brought all the money."
"Oh, so that's it! That's great!" Tuanan said enthusiastically.
"You agree."
"Of course I agree. It's normal to lend money with a little interest. And don't worry, we are definitely able to repay it. My father has a salary, and I also get a subsidy every month." Tuanan nodded heavily.
"That's what we meant. Your grandparents are old after all, so we asked them to call your father over."
The man in gray was very happy when he heard this, and then took out a written loan contract from his bag.
Mrs. Zhuang was very smart. Although she wanted to borrow money, when she heard that she had to write an IOU, she immediately thought of her sons. If the eldest son borrowed the money, he would have to pay it back, and she could leave her money to the third son. It was simply perfect.
But when these two heard Zhuang's mother say that her son, a teacher, would come, they had already decided to leave and see how the situation would develop, and come back to trick Tuanan next time. But now, seeing Tuanan's silly look, they decided to continue.
This is much better than asking two old people to sign a contract. The contract signed by the young man is valid, and there is no need to worry about not being able to pay it back because he can ask his parents for money.
"Let me see," Tunan asked.
"Look, it's good to be educated. It saves us a lot of trouble." The man in gray nodded confidently.
After reading it, Tuanan frowned. There was no trap in it.
"No problem," he said, and then observed the two of them carefully.
The man took out two more contracts from his bag, flipped to the last page, and pointed to the signature area.
"Then just sign your name and put your fingerprint on it."
"Why three portions? Isn't it usually two portions?" Tuanan asked.
"That's what it means to be cultured! Yes, as a witness, I will get a copy for you. This will be good for everyone." The man in blue replied hurriedly.
Tunan pretended to think for a moment, then nodded: "Oh, that's fine."
Tuanan understood that these two copies were the ones with problems. The one he had seen would be given to the man in blue and destroyed.
There was still no news from outside the door, and Tuanan became anxious.
The other party handed over a pen, but Tunan waved his hand and said, "I have one. I'm not used to other people's pens."
After saying that, he took out a pen from his bag, pressed it hard on the signature position, the tip of the pen cracked, and blue-black ink flowed onto the paper.
"Oops! The pen is broken!"
Tunan spread out his hands, which were covered in ink.
The man in gray frantically wiped the ink, muttering, "It's okay, it's okay. The words weren't stained. Just give me this copy later. Your copy will be the standard. Use my pen this time!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go wash my hands then."
There was a basin in the room. Tunan walked to the basin and slowly washed his hands before sitting back down.
At this time, Pengfei outside the house called out: "Brother, are you not done yet? Then I'm going out to play for a while!"
"Don't run too far!" Tu Nan responded as he quickly walked back to the table, grabbed the two real contracts, and rushed out the door.
At first, the two men thought he was opening the door to tell his brother something. After a moment of hesitation, they realized what was going on and followed him out, only to see several police officers standing in the room.
Pengfei stuck his head out from behind Hongbin and pointed at the two men.
"Comrade, they are both liars!"
Tunan continued, "Yes, comrade, I have the evidence."
The two men looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Zhuang's mother was also dumbfounded. She looked at Tuanan in disbelief.
He looked so much like Zhuang Chaoying just now! So well-behaved, sensible, and easily influenced.
Looking at him now, his eyes are full of intelligence.
The two children, Pengfei and Hongbin, were beyond her expectations.
