Qibao said, "No, I'm not tired."
For Qibao, it was just a journey of ten days, which was nothing at all. She just wanted to survey the feng shui and customs of Tianyou City, which would also be beneficial to the expansion of her business in the future.
After finishing the cleaning, Qibao changed his clothes, took Fuqiu out of the house, and knocked on Xu Wenwu's door next door.
When Xu Wenwu learned that Qibao was going out, he said, "Sister, let me go with you. It's a bit inconvenient for you two girls to go out. You're not familiar with the place, so you'd better be careful."
Qibao said, "Then let's tell uncle, so that he won't be worried if he can't find us later."
Xu Wenwu nodded, and after notifying Uncle Xu, everyone agreed to meet on the first floor of the inn, and then the three of them left the inn.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and the atmosphere is very lively.
"Sister, I haven't seen Yueyang and Yuexue along the way. Do you have any other intentions?" Xu Wenwu said to Qibao.
"Brother, Yueyang and Yuexue have been following us closely! We should be more careful when we go to the capital this time. It will be easier to do things with someone in the dark, and they won't be easily exposed unless necessary." Qibao said.
Xu Wenwu nodded and looked at his sister, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He didn't expect that his sister was so meticulous. The moment she left home, she had already started to make arrangements for the backup plan.
The three of them strolled along the way, and Qibao discovered that Tianyou City was truly a city with numerous streets, a prosperous market, and a very busy population. The people in the city were well-dressed and did not seem to be living in poverty. Everywhere was a scene of prosperity.
"Tianyou City is indeed the closest city to the capital. The people live and work in peace and contentment. It is a good place. If you do business here, you will definitely make a fortune." Xu Wenwu said with a smile.
As they walked, the three of them discussed the customs and practices they had seen in the city.
Suddenly, a figure crashed heavily in front of the three people.
"Ah!" Fuqiu screamed in shock at the sudden change.
"Be careful!" Xu Wenwu shouted softly and stretched out an arm to block Qibao.
"Jin Wansheng, don't you want to pay back the money you owe? I'm telling you, if you don't pay me back, I'm going to chop off your hands and feed them to the stray dogs on the roadside!" A rough and arrogant voice reached everyone's ears.
When the pedestrians on the road saw this scene, they all stopped and talked about it.
"Isn't this Boss Jin's son? How come he looks like this?" A middle-aged man pointed at the person on the ground and said.
"You don't even know this?" someone replied.
"Hey, I just came back from outside yesterday, how would I know about this?" said the middle-aged man.
"So that's how it is. This Jin Wansheng got addicted to gambling at some point and owed Hongtai Casino a lot of money. This must be the people from the casino coming to collect the debt." The man said.
"There is such a thing? Boss Jin is also a businessman, he should be able to settle this matter for his son, right? How could he be beaten like this?" the middle-aged man asked doubtfully.
"Boss Jin is also powerless. Jin Wansheng stole the family's money and used it to eat, drink and have fun with his friends. He is so angry that he is lying in bed and won't come out. Naturally, no one is taking care of the business. How can he pay back the money?"
The middle-aged man sighed upon hearing this and said, "It's true that things are unpredictable. Boss Jin is a smart man, but how could he have given birth to such a son? A good bamboo shoot has a bad one."
"Who says it isn't true? If Jin Wansheng had studied business seriously with Boss Jin, he wouldn't be in this situation now."
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Jin Wansheng staggered to his feet, holding his chest with his hands. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and hatred flashed in his eyes.
"Jin Wansheng, did you hear what I said? Don't play dumb!"
"Ahem... ahem ahem... isn't there still a two-day deadline? Hongtai Casino shouldn't need to use the money I owe it to make a living yet, right?" Jin Wansheng said in a deep voice.
"Jin Wansheng, you still dare to take advantage of me at this time? Believe it or not, I will bring these brothers under my command to your Jin family to ask Jin Liangshun for money. I heard that your father was so angry with you that he couldn't even get out of bed. By then, you might even have to take care of your father's funeral, hahaha..."
After the man finished speaking, he laughed unscrupulously, and several of his younger brothers behind him also laughed.
"Ma Ergou, if you dare to set your sights on my father, I will take you with me even if I die." Jin Wansheng roared angrily.
"Tsk, you're acting like a filial son now. What were you doing before? If it weren't for you, a prodigal son, would your father have become like this? Stop saying these harsh words to scare your Grandpa Ma. I've walked more roads than you've eaten salt. Boy, do you understand?" Ma Ergou said disdainfully, looking at the thin Jin Wansheng.
"You! If I, Jin Wansheng, hadn't been schemed against by that vicious woman, how could I have ended up being bullied by you like this?" Jin Wansheng said gritting his teeth.
That Master Ma and a younger brother standing beside him exchanged a glance, a smug smile on their lips, and then waved his hand and said, "Alright, Jin Wansheng, hurry back and raise the money. I, Master Ma, will let you go this time. If you don't send the money in two days, I'm sure you've seen my methods. Let's go."
After saying that, he walked away with a few younger brothers behind him. Jin Wansheng clenched his hands tightly when he heard the loud laughter. Then he staggered a few steps and walked out of the crowd.
After the excitement, everyone dispersed. From time to time, you could hear some discussions. Some were gloating, some were shaking their heads in regret, and some were indifferent and just came to see something new.
Qibao and his elder brother looked at each other without saying anything. They just treated it as an episode and didn't take it seriously.
"Sister, what are your plans?" Xu Wenwu asked.
"Brother, let's just stroll around and see if we can come across a shop that has something suitable for sale." Qibao said.
Xu Wenwu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult. Tianyou City is a must-pass place for people going to and from the imperial city, and it has a huge flow of people. If it weren't for other reasons, I'm afraid no one would be willing to sell this shop so easily."
Qibao smiled and said, "It's okay. Just treat it as a trip to have fun and see what's going on. It won't be a complete loss."
Xu Wenwu smiled and nodded. He would naturally not say no to whatever Qibao wanted to do.
The master, his servant and his two companions strolled along the way and got to know a little about Tianyou City.
Along the way, I also bought a lot of local snacks, intending to bring them to Uncle Xu and Xiaowu who were still in the inn to try.
Xu Wenwu looked at the sky and saw that it was gradually getting dark, so he said to Qibao, "Qibao, if you don't go back soon, my father will be worried."
Qibao nodded, and the three of them returned along the way they came.
Before they approached the inn, the three of them saw from afar the eagerly awaited figures of Uncle Xu and Xiao Wu.
Seeing the three people return, Uncle Xu breathed a sigh of relief and finally put his heart back in his stomach.
"Brother, sister, you are so mean. You came out to play without me. You are so disloyal."
