When they arrived at the place, Li Mu got out of the car and prepared to take a look at the recent renovations.
Before leaving, Chen Hao grabbed Li Mu's sleeve and said, "Brother, don't leave. Does our agreement last time count?"
Hearing Chen Hao's question, Li Mu answered without thinking: "It counts!"
Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Brother Li Mu, let me tell you, my uncle and I have already agreed. Originally I told you 50 kilograms, right? But now my uncle wants to see the goods first, so you can't give me 10 kilograms first."
"Ten kilograms?" Li Mu looked at Chen Hao suspiciously and asked. Because the change in quantity was really big, Li Mu was a little distrustful of Chen Hao.
"Brother, don't worry, I won't lie to you. I can give you the money for the ten kilograms first. As long as my uncle is willing to give in, I will tell you right away and let you sign the contract."
Seeing Li Mu's distrustful look, he didn't think it was a big deal. After all, although ten kilograms was not worth much money, for Li Mu, every penny was important now.
Chen Hao patted his chest and assured.
After hearing what Chen Hao said, Li Mu replied directly: "Okay, give me an address and I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow."
Chen Hao hurriedly took out the address he had prepared in his pocket and threw it to Li Mu.
...
...
After Li Mu confirmed that it was indeed one of the larger aquatic product companies, he accepted it.
After the chat, Li Mu walked into the store and saw that everything was basically ready, and nodded with satisfaction.
He took out the money he had prepared in his pocket and paid the workers’ wages.
Now the store just needs to wait ten days or half a month to get rid of the odor before it can open for business. By then, the signboard will be ready and hung up.
Li Mu looked at the renovated store with his heart full of longing. At first, he considered that Qiangzi needed to take care of Zhou Lifang recently.
She planned to let Zhou Qiang take care of everything, and she would only need to collect the money she earned. However, Zhou Lifang's behavior was becoming more and more outrageous.
We need to resolve Qiangzi’s issues as soon as possible.
After cleaning up the garbage in the store, Li Mu called Lin Wan and said that he had something to deal with tonight and would not be home for dinner.
I was going to find Zhou Qiang to have a good talk, as I always felt that Zhou Qiang was hiding something from me during this period of time.
Otherwise, Zhou Lifang would not have changed so much.
After all, it was profitable for Zhou Lifang to get close to Zhou Qiang in the beginning, so it was impossible for her not to please Zhou Qiang instead of ignoring him like she is now.
Li Mu bought some food on the street and walked towards Zhou Lifang's house.
At this time, Zhou Qiang was taking medicine and was still worrying about whether to continue drinking porridge in the evening when the doorbell rang.
Zhou Qiang got up and opened the door, and was surprised to see Li Mu carrying food.
As soon as he entered, Li Mu placed all the food on the dining table and said, "Come and eat."
Zhou Qiang walked over and sat down opposite Li Mu, lowering his head and eating in small bites.
Seeing Zhou Qiang's current appearance, Li Mu didn't know what to say. What kind of person is he now for a woman? He won't listen even if he is told.
Li Mu sighed and asked, "Qiangzi, tell me the truth, did you do something? Why did Zhou Lifang change so much?"
After hearing what Li Mu said, Zhou Qiang felt guilty for no reason, because during the time when Li Mu was away, Zhou Lifang had been borrowing money to buy a house.
At first Zhou Qiang was not happy because Li Mu had repeatedly warned him that he should go to him if he wanted to borrow money, but he could not stand Zhou Lifang's constant whispering in his ear.
Zhou Qiang couldn't help it, so he borrowed some money and gave all the money to Zhou Lifang.
"No...no, I didn't do anything. I was just at home watching the store decorate. Haha."
Zhou Qiang said with some guilt.
Hearing Zhou Qiang say this, Li Mu sneered at Zhou Qiang and said, "To be honest, you'd better not force me to do it."
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Zhou Qiang pretended to be unwell and made an excuse to go back to his room to rest.
Li Mu said from behind: "I don't blame you, but you'd better tell me the truth. Zhou Lifang is not as simple as you think."
After hearing Li Mu's words, Zhou Qiang froze in place, unable to move even a step.
After a long silence, Zhou Qiang said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you. Lifang kept saying to me that for the sake of the child, I couldn't be without money, so I... I..."
Zhou Qiang, who was already feeling a little uncomfortable due to a cold, half leaned against the wall and sat on the ground.
After hearing what Zhou Qiang said, Li Mu wanted to get angry, but seeing Zhou Qiang's current look, he really didn't know what to say.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't you listen to me? Didn't I warn you again and again? Didn't I?"
"How much did you borrow? I'll see if I can help you find a way to pay it back."
On the way here, Li Mu had already prepared himself mentally, but the moment he heard Zhou Qiang say that he had borrowed money, Li Mu really wanted to take action against Zhou Qiang.
He had already warned in advance, but this incident still happened. Li Mu felt inexplicably irritated.
Zhou Qiang lowered his head and whispered, "It's not a lot, just over 50,000... Lifang originally wanted me to borrow it, but I was afraid you would beat me to death if you knew."
"So, when I refused to lend her money again, Lifang changed her attitude towards me."
Li Mu was relieved when he heard that it was only more than 50,000 yuan. The money was not much, and he could still find a way to pay it back now.
"How long have you borrowed it? When is it due for repayment?"
Zhou Qiang thought for a moment and said, "I borrowed the money when you were about to come back. It may take several months to pay it back. The person told me that he would not charge interest, so I felt relieved to lend it to him. I thought that after the fish pond is ready, I have been working hard to make money in the past few months, and I will definitely be able to pay it back."
Seeing that Zhou Qiang was still trying hard to convince him, Li Mu threw his chopsticks on the table and shouted, "No interest, have you ever thought that if you can't pay it back, his interest will be compounded, do you think this loan is legal?"
"Do you have any brains at all?"
Hearing Li Mu's words, Zhou Qiang panicked and kept saying, "No, no."
Li Mu clenched his fists and cursed in his heart: "Asshole, Zhou Lifang, you are really resourceful. It seems that I really have to get rid of you now."
When he thought about seeing the two people entering the new building today, Li Mu knew that Qiangzi probably contributed more than half of the money for buying the house this time.
Now, not only do we have to raise children for others, we also have to raise men for others.
I was not feeling well, but my wife had to take care of her husband. Now I think I should not have supported Qiangzi in pursuing Zhou Lifang.
Li Mu now regrets his momentary lapse of judgment.
Zhou Qiang's current situation is somewhat related to himself.
