Chapter 136: Using All My Strength and Means (Added Words)
Shi Jing's face was clearly angry, and she looked at Tan Anping with sarcasm, "Mr. Tan, what do you mean? I now realize that you really protect Rong everywhere. Don't forget that she is the wife of your superior leader. You can't get her just because you want her."
He crossed his arms over his chest and said, "So what if my mother gave money to my second brother? It's none of your business. My mother is willing!"
Tan Anping's face turned cold, and he could no longer bear it and said, "Shi Jing, why didn't I realize that you are so unreasonable before? We were clearly talking about the sisters-in-law, but you dragged it into Rong, Rong's sister-in-law. I don't know what I can do to you. You have to say that I have an affair with Rong's sister-in-law. I have done everything right. I will say it for the last time. I have never had such dirty thoughts!!! Also, I can't control Mom giving money to Second Brother, but I give you my salary every month. You also give our family's money to your mom, and I can't say anything?!"
Shi Jing had been comparing him and Rong Mei together in a sarcastic way recently. He had just wanted to say "Rong Mei", but when the words were on the tip of his tongue he remembered that he had to call her that, so he quickly changed his words, as Shi Jing would inevitably say something sarcastic to him again.
Shi Jing was choked by the second half of Tan Anping's words. She did give her mother the money at home to lend to her second brother, but how could she easily give in and admit her mistake? She angrily pushed Tan Anping forward and pushed him onto the bed. While wiping the moisture from the corners of her eyes, her tone was still very harsh, as if questioning, "Mr. Tan, do you still have a conscience? My mother raised me for so many years, and I married you, Tan Anping, and had children. My mother asked me, how could I not lend her the money?"
Tan Anping stood up suddenly, his voice rising several notches, "I have never had any objection to you giving money to your mother, but think about it, every time your mother asked for money, she would give it to your second brother."
"My second brother was just borrowing it, it's not like he won't pay it back!" Shi Jing stiffened his neck and fought back.
Tan Anping snorted coldly, "Still, are you still going? Count how many times you have done it yourself, I don't even want to tell you!!!"
"Why are you so anxious? He will pay it back eventually. Besides, it doesn't matter if he doesn't pay it back. It's just a few dollars. Look how anxious you are!"
That night, there was a lot of noise in Deputy Battalion Commander Tan's house for most of the night.
When Rong Mei arrived in the city, Liu Rong took her to see two new stores without delay.
The location and size are good, and most importantly, the rent is cheap.
The area is about the same as the store over there, but the rent is half as much, only thirty yuan a month, the same for both stores.
"Everything is good. The three shops are spread out like this, forming a triangle." Rong Mei nodded, very satisfied with everything.
But she was still a little puzzled. "How can the rent be so cheap? And the location is so good, why hasn't it been rented out?"
Speaking of this, Liu Rong couldn't help but secretly admire her good luck.
He smiled at Rong Mei and said, "This is good luck. Both shops happened to be vacated in the past few days. Originally this shop sold groceries, and the one over there sold meat. Then both shops moved to the vegetable market. The location there must be better for them."
"Who brought you here?" Rong Mei raised the corner of her mouth and asked Liu Rong with her eyes narrowed into slits.
Looking at Rong Mei's expression, Liu Rong was a little confused, "Ah, didn't you tell me to ask your uncle Li for help?"
Although Rong Mei had already guessed it, but hearing it from Liu Rong's own mouth...it still tastes different.
He raised his hand, touched his chin, and pointed with his fingers.
Um.........
Is Uncle Li going to use all his strength and methods now? ? ?
But they were really willing to spend a lot of money. They negotiated to move the tenants to other shops, leaving this most suitable one to them, and also greatly reduced the rent.
She is not as easy to fool as Liu Rong. The original tenant of this shop definitely did not move there just because there happened to be a suitable shop in the vegetable market. It must be that Uncle Li specially moved the tenant to the vegetable market in order to make room for the shop.
Oh, I have to sigh once again, it’s good to have more shops…
Therefore, if we want to say that Uncle Li has no other feelings towards Liu Rong, her name must be pronounced backwards.
Rong Mei patted her head in annoyance, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about this. Do you know where this shop is... By the way, have you signed the lease contract?"
At the end of the conversation, he suddenly stopped and changed the subject.
Liu Rong didn't understand anything from it, so she shook her head and told Rong Mei what Uncle Li said, "This contract is waiting for you to sign. Your Uncle Li said that if you like it, he will ask you to go to his noodle shop to find him, and he will take you to sign the contract with him."
"Okay then, let's settle on this shop. I'll go to the noodle shop to find Uncle Li now. You go back to the shop first." Rong Mei curled her lips, nodded, and then said goodbye to Liu Rong without hesitation.
Went straight to Uncle Li’s noodle shop.
It was already past the morning round and there were no customers in the store.
When Rong Mei arrived, Uncle Li was cutting beef in the kitchen.
"Uncle Li!"
After hearing Rong Mei's shout, he walked out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in his hand.
Seeing Rong Mei walking into the store, he grinned, "Hey, Rong girl is here. When did you come? Have you had breakfast yet? Do you want a bowl of noodles?"
Rong Mei looked Uncle Li up and down, then smiled and said, "We've eaten. I'm here to sign the store contract with you. We've rented the store, but before signing the contract, I still want to hear the truth. Those two stores are Uncle Li... yours, right?"
The tone of voice became longer at the end, which made it sound like a joke.
Even though Uncle Li felt that he was already in his forties, he began to feel uneasy after being stared at by Rong Mei and asked in a drawn-out tone.
She coughed lightly to cover up the inner turmoil, "To be honest, those two shops are mine, but don't think too much. I just want to rent out the shops, and I think we are all acquaintances, so I thought of reducing the rent by half. After all, you are just starting out, and you need money to do anything. You have to open two more shops at once, so you have to spend money everywhere. But we have agreed that when you make money in the future, I will raise the rent."
Uncle Li knew that just by looking at Rong Mei's eyes, this girl knew that the shop was his. This girl was smart, but not as easy to be "cheated" as Liu Rong. When she heard him say that the two shops were owned by his friends, Liu Rong believed him before he continued.
But it was different with Rong Mei. When he was looking at the house, he had unintentionally "showed off" in front of her, letting the girl know his background.
But there is one thing, this girl did not go back to tell Liu Rong about this. Liu Rong still thinks that he also rented a house there, but she didn't know that he also moved there later..........
So, he thought, even if he told Rong Mei the truth about the store, this girl would keep her mouth shut and would not go back and tell Liu Rong.
Rong Mei didn't try to be polite, but the smile on her face was still so intriguing, and her eyes were fixed on Uncle Li. "Then I would like to thank Uncle Li for his kindness to us. Don't worry, when my mother makes money, I will definitely raise the rent for you. I will tell my mother when I go back."
"Well, there's no need to tell your mother about this." Uncle Li's hand holding the kitchen knife trembled. He coughed uncomfortably again, sweat dripping from his forehead, and his mouth twitched with a forced smile.
"Hehe, then you don't have to tell my mother, but Uncle Li, you have to tell me if you have any feelings for my mother?" Rong Mei smiled and asked directly.
Uncle Li's face, which hadn't turned red in decades, couldn't help but turn pale when asked by Rong Mei in such a straightforward way.
Suddenly, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and stammered awkwardly, "Girl, you speak without any control, what are you talking about, you are even joking with me..."
Neither admitted nor denied.
