She looked dejected. "He told me he was very rich and could support me and the child, but I still haven't seen a single star coin."
Meng Luoxin thought to herself: You and your child are quite capable!
Ah-yi-gu thought to himself: I need to start saving up for my wife.
Hua Ansu smiled and said, "I heard from Zhi Su that his money is in the Mercenary Alliance's bank, so I came to withdraw it. But I was told that the amount was too large and the procedures were difficult to complete. It even alarmed the Alliance Leader. I'm really sorry."
Meng Luo thought to herself, "I've spent almost all my money. Where am I going to get more for you?"
What caught his attention even more was that Zhi Su was now concerned about money.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Zhisu, doing business has no future. In front of your wife, I sincerely invite you to come with me again. If you work for me, why would you need to do business? You can even manage Picheng. What do you say?"
Ha, they can even manage Picheng?
I wonder if the city lord has agreed?
A-Yi-Gu spun the teacup without making a sound.
Upon hearing this, Hua Ansu, playing the role of a greedy, two-faced, ignorant, and opportunistic woman, immediately brightened up. "Really, Alliance Leader? My husband can govern Pi City? That's wonderful! Does the city lord also take orders from him?"
Meng Luo was taken aback by her words. "Madam Zhisu is joking. We are all just following the orders of the city lord."
He took a sip of tea. "Madam Zhisu, you should not mention such treasonous words again."
But Hua Ansu didn't miss the sharp glint that flashed in his eyes.
Oh.
They clearly don't respect the city lord.
Despite being second only to the emperor, Meng Luo must have felt terrible being trampled on.
Because he has a heart that refuses to be subordinate to others.
Hua Ansu continued in her ignorance, "Oh, I see..."
She looked at A-Yi-Gu and said, "Husband, how about we stop doing business? You can work with the leader, and I'll use the money to buy dozens of houses and collect rent. How about we become landlady?"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, "That way we'll have both money and power!"
Meng Luo, "..."
Why are you still thinking about that money!
He coughed, "The money isn't urgent..."
Before she could finish speaking, Hua Ansu said urgently, "How could I not be anxious? As the saying goes, money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it. So, I'll trouble the Alliance Leader to get this money matter sorted out for us as soon as possible..."
Her meaning was clear: she wanted money.
After a few brief interactions, Meng Luo gained a certain "understanding" of Zhi Su's wife; she was just a woman with little education.
Aside from being pretty and having a good temperament, his character isn't very high; he's comparable to his wife.
Zhi Su married a woman like this, so she's not worth his time.
Meng Luo completely ignored Hua Ansu and put a piece of food on A Yigu's plate. "Zhisu, what do you think?"
The last syllable of his words carried a hint of pressure.
He was testing her, trying to see if Zhi Su was still the same Zhi Su from back then.
A-Yi-Gu, who had been quietly watching Meng Luo and Hua An-Su's back-and-forth, raised his eyes and said in a measured tone, "The Alliance Leader had better give me the money in full."
Meng Luo paused, his hand holding the teacup still, and then offered a kind smile. "Of course, but..."
He said, "As you know, Picheng has been undergoing construction for the past two years, and the Mercenary Alliance has invested a lot of money. You have too much money in your account, and the banks are really struggling to keep up with the demand."
