Chapter 711 Difficult
Fan Jianguo looked at the accounts in front of him.
He sighed deeply, now the store can no longer be opened.
Liu Huili gave birth to a premature baby, and all the family money was spent during the time when the baby and she were in the hospital.
Because Fan Jianguo was busy taking care of his children and wife in the hospital at that time, he had no time to take care of the affairs in the store.
He had no idea that his mother-in-law and brother-in-law had taken away a lot of the store's working capital.
The rent is due soon, and the store’s golden seasons, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year, have already been missed.
The store's accounts are a mess now, with holes like a sieve visible from top to bottom.
Because he has no time to run the store, the waiters in the store took the opportunity to pocket the money themselves, and the whole store is now a mess.
Fan Jianguo sighed. There was not a penny in the passbook, and there was not a penny on the store's account. He could not pay the rent, and the store could not continue to operate.
Fan Jianguo didn't know how he ended up back in time to the time before liberation.
The business that I had painstakingly built up over four or five years collapsed overnight.
Hear the child crying.
His daughter Xiuxiu has been weak since birth and has to go to the hospital almost every other day. This child makes Fan Jianguo worry a lot.
The lady next door went out coughing.
Fan Jianguo stood up and went out, "Mom, you go back and have a rest. I'll go see the kids."
Old Mrs. Fan's cough has not been getting better recently. Seeing that her son looked unwell, she knew that there were too many things going on at home recently.
Not wanting to embarrass his son, he went straight back into the house.
The old lady looked at the photo of her husband on the table in her room, sat there and sighed softly.
"I don't know what happened in the past two years. Why has life been so difficult at home? I lost my two little sons and spent so much time looking for them. I finally found them. Jianguo is also having a hard time.
I am too old to help them and I am a burden to them all the time."
In the photo, the old man was looking at the old lady with a smile, but he couldn't say a word.
When Fan Jianguo entered the room, Liu Huili was holding the child and coaxing him.
"Xiu Xiu, be good, don't cry."
I saw my husband come in, hurriedly put the baby on the bed, and go to get the bottle to make milk powder.
Fan Jianguo picked up Xiuxiu, and the child felt the familiar breath and finally cried much softer.
"I don't know who this child looks like. He cries all day long."
Liu Huili complained dissatisfiedly that she had not had a good rest since she gave birth to this child, and she didn't know what she owed this child in her previous life.
Fan Jianguo took the bottle.
After feeding the child, Xiuxiu finally stopped crying.
Swallowing in big gulps.
Fan Jianguo frowned, "When was the last time you fed your child?"
Liu Huili shook her head. "A little after 9 o'clock."
"Didn't I tell you to feed him every three hours? It's already past 2pm, how can this child not cry?"
Fan Jianguo felt sorry for his daughter who was starving.
Liu Huili was aroused by Fan Jianguo's suddenly raised voice.
"Three hours, three hours? Did you know that this child cries every day, especially at night? I can't sleep at all because of her crying. In the morning, she finally stopped crying and fell asleep after drinking milk.
I said I should sleep with her. Your mother didn't even come to feed her at noon. Do you know how hard it is for me to be alone? Isn't it because I didn't give birth to a son that my mother-in-law doesn't like me? "
Liu Huili got angry when she talked about this.
Fan Jianguo suddenly became furious.
"How dare you say that? The child did cry at night, but my mother held the child for you in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, as long as I came home, I would help you take care of the child. Is there any daughter-in-law like you? My mother coughed like that, she's not feeling well, she needs to rest.
From the time you were hospitalized until now, how has my mother treated you badly? She has taken good care of you in every aspect of food and drink. How else do you want my mother to treat you? You have already left the confinement period, but you are still unwilling to wash diapers for the baby and cook for him all day long.
My mom does everything, I do everything, what on earth do you do all day long?"
Fan Jianguo's words made Liu Huili's voice much lower. "Why are you so arrogant? Don't you know that if a woman doesn't take good care of herself, she will suffer from many postpartum diseases in the future? My mother also said that a woman must be taken care of for at least 100 days.
You don’t want me to be sick all the time in the future, do you? ”
Fan Jianguo watched the child eat and drink his fill, burp, and finally close his eyes and fall asleep.
"Come with me tomorrow to find Fang Xiaohui and get the money back."
He should have gone to ask for money a long time ago, but Liu Huili and her child were in the hospital and Fan Jianguo had no time at all. By the time the child was discharged from the hospital, the store was in chaos again.
Liu Huili became excited when she talked about this.
"Okay, let's go find Fang Xiaohui tomorrow and get the money back. It's been three months. We should be able to earn back at least 30,000 or 40,000 yuan from the 60,000 yuan. If we sell it back, that's 100,000 yuan."
Liu Huili felt that this was her own credit.
"Don't talk about those nonsense. The store needs to pay rent soon. Hurry up and take back the money and pay the rent first. Otherwise, we can't even open the store, and the whole family will have to starve!"
Fan Jianguo didn't expect to make so much money. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter.
"Haven't you made any money in the past few months? How come you can't even pay the rent?"
Liu Huili felt strange.
Fan Jianguo's face darkened. "How dare you ask? When you and the child were in the hospital, I was too busy to come to the store. It was you who insisted on asking your mother and your brother to look after the store. Your mother and your brother have taken away all the cash flow from the store in the past few months.
It was said that your brother was getting married and the family was going to buy a house. Did you know that you took away tens of thousands of dollars from the store? Now the store can hardly maintain basic operations. If you don't ask Fang Xiaohui to take the money back.
Our store has to close down. We don’t even have money to buy goods, let alone rent.”
Fan Jianguo was filled with rage when he talked about this. His mother-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law were all obsessed with money, and it was all his fault that he was so blind and listened to his wife.
My mother-in-law got hold of the money in the store, and now it's difficult to get her to pay it back.
He was a son-in-law and couldn't do anything to his mother-in-law, so this matter became a difficult one for him to express.
Liu Huili also felt guilty, and she probably had some idea of what her mother and brother had done.
I didn’t notice that my younger brother has been showing off recently.
Not only did the family buy several major items such as a color TV and a refrigerator, but my younger brother also bought gold and silver jewelry for his wife.
I heard that they were getting married soon and bought a new house, spending several thousand dollars just on decorating the house.
Of course Liu Huili knew the answer. How could her family come up with so much money? It must have been taken from the store by her mother and brother.
But it was her mother and brother who took it, so what could she say?
We are family anyway.
"That's my mother and my brother. Anyway, we've earned tens of thousands of dollars from Fang Xiaohui, so just take that as compensation for the loss. Don't take it so seriously."
