Chapter 123 The Tragedy of White Rice 0dMe(jhssd)
"No... not much, Sister Qing, don't worry, this is my business, I can handle it."
Bai Mifan spoke vaguely, but Qin Qing's attitude was extremely serious.
"If I hadn't partnered with you, this would have been your business. Now that you're my partner, I have to leave these five bags of goods at your house tonight. If the debt collectors come and burn our house again, we'll have to pay for all our goods! Tell me, how much do you owe?"
"Even if I don't sleep tonight, I will keep an eye on the goods."
Seeing that Bai Fanmi refused to eat and refused to speak, Qin Qing was so angry that she pointed at him and was speechless for a long time.
"White Rice doesn't want to talk, and we shouldn't force it."
Fang Zhiwei never got involved in Qin Qing's business. When he suddenly said this, Bai Mifan seemed to have found a backer and nodded continuously.
"Right, right, right! Sister Qing, you see, Brother Fang is the one who sees things clearly. I can really handle this matter well."
"I also believe that you can handle it well."
Fang Zhiwei didn't even look at Bai Mifan. He easily lifted all five bags of goods with his two hands. "But in business, harmony is the most important thing. There's no need to get involved in trouble. Qin Qing, take inventory of the goods. We'll pay Bai Mifan back now. If you don't have enough money, I'll make up for it. I'll be your partner. I'm rich and have no debts, which is better than him."
Qin Qing looked at Fang Zhiwei. She knew that he would never interfere in her business. He winked at her, and she understood instantly. She patted her head and suddenly realized.
"Yeah, if I really need a partner, wouldn't you be the best choice? Okay, I'll take inventory now."
As soon as Bai Mifan saw Qin Qing open the bag, he suddenly panicked and jumped up and down beside Qin Qing.
"Sister Qing, please don't! Brother Fang is rich and capable, but he's not as smooth-talking and well-mannered as me."
"This bag of goods, the total payment is about 325 yuan. Let me take a look..."
Seeing that Qin Qing was completely refusing to listen to him, Bai Mifan immediately said, "Sister Qing, I owe Ke Bin 800 yuan..."
Bai Mifan finally told the truth, and Qin Qing put down the goods in her hand.
"800 yuan? Does that mean half of the money you brought to Yangcheng was scammed out of you by Ke Bin?"
"I still have to pay some interest. Not much, not much." Bai Mifan looked embarrassed, that's why he didn't dare to hide it, for fear that Qin Qing would get angry and really stop being a partner with him.
"You kid, you're really brave."
Even Fang Zhiwei couldn't help but say that Bai Mifan was a clever guy who actually dared to swindle money from loan sharks as payment for goods.
He was lucky enough to meet Qin Qing again. Given Qin Qing's personality, since she had decided to cooperate with Bai Mifan, she would not abandon him easily.
"Tell me honestly, how much will the interest be?" Qin Qing tried to suppress the anger in her heart and asked in a deep voice.
"If we calculate it now, it should be around 500 or 600..."
Bai Fanmi didn't dare to hide the truth. Ke Bin's gang always charged extremely high interest rates when lending money. After calculating the interest over the past few days, it should be almost the same as the original capital.
"Five or six hundred..."
Qin Qing's scalp tingled after hearing this. Eventually, she calmed down and asked Bai Mifan, "Bai Mifan, you've been tossing and turning, with such high interest rates, and the money is going into other people's pockets. Don't you feel like you're losing out?"
"Sister Qing, you should know from looking at this yard that my ancestors were not poor, they were even extremely wealthy. But it was precisely because we were so rich that we were severely persecuted a few years ago. My grandparents didn't make it and are gone. My father and mother were beaten to death while being paraded through the streets, and my sister was kidnapped. I'm the only one left in the family, and we're truly poor! I've been chewing the bark of the yellow poplar tree outside our house for years. During the worst times, I had to steal other people's slop to eat, and that's how I survived."
Bai Mifan changed his usual nonchalant attitude, speaking in a calm tone with a hint of self-mockery on his face.
He had already given a brief account, but only he knew the true story. He watched his grandfather being bludgeoned to death with an antique bottle, and his grandmother forced to hang herself, yet he was the one who carried her down. He was also chained as his parents were paraded through the streets, and they followed behind, only to have rotten cabbage and stinky eggs thrown at his face. His sister was abducted because he had a high fever. She went to the pharmacy to get medicine, but she never returned.
At the end of the Bai family, he was the only one left. He was like an indestructible cockroach, fighting for his life to hold on until now.
Qin Qing and the other two listened, their expressions changing slightly. Even Lei Zi was a little surprised. He had thought that his country life was miserable, but he had never expected that Bai Mifan, a city dweller, was even worse off.
"The poor will only get poorer. If you want to be rich, you need capital. If I don't have capital, I won't cheat others, I'll just cheat loan sharks. Anyway, I can either make some money by trading food coupons, or lose everything and get beaten to death by them. It's better than dying in death."
After Bai Mifan finished speaking, Qin Qing was silent for a long time.
No wonder the furniture in the yard was all broken. She thought it was burned, but she didn't expect that it had been destroyed before that.
"Sister Qing, don't blame me for being overambitious and using other people's money to show off. I earn whatever I can, even a little is meat. I don't believe that if I can only eat slop for the rest of my life, I won't be able to afford white rice!"
Qin Qing's heart was shaken. She glanced at Fang Zhiwei, who was carrying five more bags of clothes and turning to take them back into the house. She took money out of her pocket and stuffed it into Bai Fan's hand.
"Here's eight hundred dollars. Take it and pay me back first."
When selling goods today, Qin Qing collected all the money.
This was also Bai Mifan's opinion. From now on, Qin Qing would be in charge of the money, and he would be given a share of the profits when they came in. He had complete trust in Qin Qing and didn't have the slightest doubt.
"Sister Qing, how can this be possible? This is the money we earned from selling goods today."
Bai Fanmi wanted to return the money, but Qin Qing forced it back.
"There's still a balance from today's payment. Go find Boss Ke and pay him back the principal. Tell him we'll pay him the interest too! Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll pay him back the interest as well!"
Qin Qing knew that local tyrants like Ke Bin really should not be provoked.
Although they can forcibly refuse to pay the interest, Baimifan's home is here. The monk can run away but the temple cannot, so just consider it as spending money to avoid disaster.
"Sister Qing, I...I...are you still willing to let me be your partner?"
Bai Mifan was very grateful. He never expected that after Qin Qing knew all this, she would not immediately get rid of him, return the money to him, and let him pay off his debts.
"What do you say?" Qin Qing just found it funny. "But you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you will never borrow money from loan sharks again! Got it?"
"I swear, I will never borrow again!!"
Bai Mifan said confidently that Fang Zhiwei had already put the goods away and walked out. He didn't say anything, but the dark light in his eyes was slightly jumping.
With a capital of 800 yuan, the interest can be compounded to 500 or 600 yuan in just a few days. This business is too profitable.
That person... seems to be called Ke Bin, right?
Fang Zhiwei leaned against the wall without saying a word, but he already had an idea in his mind.
"White Rice, there's something I need to discuss with you."
Qin Qing had just opened her mouth when Bai Mifen immediately responded, "Sister Qing, what do you mean by negotiation?! Stop being so polite! From today on, you are my sister, my real sister. I will listen to whatever you say, without hesitation!"
Looking at Bai Mifan's loyal look, Qin Qing just felt funny. Wasn't this guy thinking too simply?
"This is a matter of great importance. You'd better listen before making a choice..."
You know, she was planning to take over the Bai family. If Bai Mifan had really heard her plan clearly, I'm afraid he wouldn't have agreed so readily.
