Chapter 448 Borrowed Six Thousand Taels

Apparently, Yu Yongbai overestimated Zhou Yunyi's potential.

Zhou Yunyi actually drove to Gong's shop.

The former shopkeepers of the Gong family store all knew him and knew that he was the future husband of their boss, so they always treated him with smiles and warm hospitality.

So when Zhou Yunyi wanted to find a place to make money, the first place he thought of was Gong's store.

But he didn't think about the fact that the shopkeepers of the Gong family store treated him warmly in the past because of Gong Qingniang!

Did he really think that he, the young master of Weibei Marquis's Mansion, was particularly respected?

Zhou Yunyi dismounted from his horse in front of the Gong family's shop.

The partner of the Gong family shop was open for business. Even though this man had fallen out with his boss, he would not beat him out in public.

He still greeted the guest with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhou? How come you have time to come to our store today? Mr. Zhou, what would you like to buy?"

Zhou Yunyi was very arrogant and had a cold and indifferent face, looking like a reserved young man.

"Where is your manager?" Zhou Yunyi raised his chin slightly and asked coldly.

The clerk spat in his heart, what kind of person is this guy, showing off in front of their shop?

But he still had a smile on his face: "Unfortunately, our shopkeeper is inside receiving distinguished guests. What can I do for you, Mr. Zhou? How about I pass it on to you when I'm done with my work?"

Zhou Yunyi's face changed slightly. Hearing the perfunctory tone in the waiter's words, he became furious: "How dare you, you bastard, tease me——"

As he said this, he was about to raise the whip to hit him.

He raised his arm to whip the horse but was immediately restrained by a hand.

Zhou Yunyi turned around angrily, only to see Gong Qingniang.

The waiter called out "Boss" happily.

Gong Qingniang gestured to her employee, signaling him not to worry about this and just go and get busy.

"Zhou Yunyi, why are you here in my shop for no reason and acting crazy?" Gong Qingniang scolded.

Zhou Yunyi frowned and said bluntly: "Gong Qingniang, give me six thousand taels of silver. I will give it to you tomorrow!"

In the past, when Zhou Yunyi and Gong Qingniang were engaged, Zhou Yunyi sometimes ran out of money, so he would come to Gong Qingniang's shop to "borrow" hundreds of taels of silver, and then come back to get the money to make up the difference. This was a common occurrence.

Therefore, Zhou Yunyisi did not think that there was anything wrong with his behavior at this time.

But Gong Qingniang felt that Zhou Yunyi was mentally ill. She almost thought there was something wrong with her ears: "Huh?"

Zhou Yunyi said impatiently: "Don't you understand? You insisted on taking back your piece of warm jade, which resulted in Jiajia having no warm jade to nourish her body! Now I need 6,000 taels to buy warm jade, and it's all because of you! Besides, I won't take your money for nothing, I'll give it to you tomorrow!"

Gong Qingniang had never heard such touching logic.

She suppressed the urge to curse, narrowed her eyes, and sneered, "I see, you're here to borrow money, right? Seeing you're ready to hit someone just because of a disagreement, I thought you were here to collect a debt."

Zhou Yunyi said angrily: "Gong Qingniang, can't you just speak properly?!"

Gong Qingniang sneered: "It's okay to talk nicely, but you have to talk to people, right?"

Seeing Zhou Yunyi's angry look, Gong Qingniang changed her tone and sneered, "Of course you can lend me money. But I'm not a philanthropist. Before we had an engagement, I wouldn't say anything if you took a few taels or a few hundred taels to make a living. Now that we are innocent, it doesn't matter. You still come to my shop to borrow money. If you don't pay some interest, it's not right, right?"

Zhou Yunyi was arrogant and looked Gong Qingniang up and down with disdain: "I told you that you reek of copper! All right, it's just interest! When I give you the money tomorrow, I'll give you an extra 100 taels! Is this all right?!"

Gong Qingniang was very satisfied: "That is to say, the interest of one hundred taels of silver a day, right? ... Mr. Zhou, this is what you said, come on, I have paper and pen, let's write it down as a document."

Zhou Yunyi despised Gong Qingniang more and more. She was so calculative and mean. Fortunately, he chose Jiajia! Otherwise, it would be better to die than to live with such a mean woman who only cared about the vulgar things!

Zhou Yunyi was still cursing in his heart when a pen was quickly stuffed into his hand.

Gong Qingniang prepared the pen and paper and held out her hand: "Please come in, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yunyi just felt depressed and suffocated in his heart, and he wrote the note quickly with his pen. He hummed, threw away the pen, and was about to press the ink pad with his thumb.

"Wait a minute." Gong Qingniang pointed at the last sentence considerately, "You have to write it clearly here. It's one hundred taels of silver a day. What if you don't have enough silver tomorrow and you come back the day after tomorrow to pay it back?"

"Gong Qingniang!"

Gong Qingniang didn't even raise her eyelids: "Don't call me by my name. I won't give you any exemption even if you call me by my name. Hurry up and write this document clearly."

The waiter was very observant and ran over to pick up the pen.

Zhou Yunyi was so angry that he took several deep breaths and cursed angrily, saying things like "stinking of copper" and "stinking beyond recognition", but he still wrote the document clearly.

Zhou Yunyi was furious: "Look, is there anything else you want to add?"

Gong Qingniang actually checked it word by word in front of Zhou Yunyi.

Zhou Yunyi was so angry that he almost exploded!

He is the legitimate son of Marquis Weibei, how could he owe someone money and not pay it back?

Gong Qingniang didn't care how angry Zhou Yunyi was. After carefully checking the corners, she was satisfied and signaled to Zhou Yunyi that he could twist the mud and press his fingerprints.

Zhou Yunyi pressed his handprint with a look of resentment: "Is this all right now?"

Gong Qingniang picked up the receipt with satisfaction, blew it a few times, and without even looking at Zhou Yunyi, waved her hand and asked the treasury manager to get the banknote.

Finally getting the six thousand taels of silver, Zhou Yunyi let out the anger in his chest and got on his horse.

He gripped the reins, sat on the horse and looked down at Gong Qingniang: "Just hold on to your inferior warm jade and live your life full of the stink of copper!"

After saying this, he clamped his legs around the horse's belly and rode away.

The buddy was so angry that he wanted to chase after him and throw stones at him, but Gong Qingniang stopped him and said, "Forget it, it's not good to throw stones at others. I think he is blessing me."

She curled her lips sarcastically, "That young man has only romantic thoughts in his mind, and he is floating in the air. Just wait and see how he will pay me back when the time comes!"

Gong Qingniang blew air at the document again, and her mood became better and better the more she looked at it.

The shopkeeper was a little confused: "Come to think of it, Mr. Zhou kept saying that he wanted six thousand taels of silver to buy the warm jade. Whose warm jade can be sold at such a high price of six thousand taels of silver?"

Gong Qingniang suddenly thought of the warm jade from the Treasure Pavilion that Yu Yongbai had mentioned earlier.

No way?

Gong Qingniang just found it unbelievable.

However, Gong Qingniang changed her mind and decided, who cares? She had earned at least one hundred taels anyway, so she should thank the owner!
