Chapter 137 Going to Xu Guodong's House
Rong Mei didn't care, after all, Uncle Li's face already showed the answer.
She is not as thick-skinned as her and is very understanding.
Without waiting for Rong Mei to speak, he quickly changed the subject, "Since you are here, you are here to pay the money, as for the contract, you can print it out at a printing shop or write it by hand, but you just need to sign it for me when you are done. I am busy and cannot write it."
He was afraid that this girl would say something else that his old heart would not be able to bear.
I originally wanted to say that we are all "family" and there is no need to sign any contracts, but I was frightened by the strength of the girl in front of me and decided it is better to be more "distant".
Sure enough, as soon as the matter came up, the girl immediately "let him go".
Rong Mei nodded, "Okay then, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the printing shop to print the contract and come back to you later."
She just left without saying anything, she came here in a hurry and didn't bring any money (mainly because she didn't have much money on her), so she had to go to Liu Rong to collect the rent...
Uncle Li watched Rong Mei leave and let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this girl is a person who does things in a hurry and doesn't ask too many questions.
If he continued to ask, he would not know where to put his face. He was already so old, but he was still thinking... Hey, it was really ridiculous.
It's not that he doesn't want to admit his feelings. It's okay to make fun of him, but if it's making fun of a female comrade... and Comrade Liu Rong doesn't have that kind of intention towards him.
Alas, he shook his head, went into the kitchen with a heavy heart, and continued cutting beef.
By the time he had finished cutting the beef, preparing the seasonings, and putting it in the pot to stew, Rong Mei came back with the printed contract.
While he was waiting for his signature, Rong Mei, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, "Uncle Li, how old are you this year?"
Uncle Li didn't think much about it. He signed his name quickly and answered with a smile without looking up, "I'm old. I'm 47 this year."
"Forty-seven, that means she is three years younger than my mother." Rong Mei supported her chin with her elbow, calculated it in her head, and nodded.
Sister-brother relationships are not very popular nowadays.
But it doesn’t matter. As the saying goes, a woman who is three years older than a man is more likely to bring wealth.
Rong Mei naturally said whatever she thought of. When Uncle Li heard Rong Mei mention Liu Rong again, the pen in his hand trembled, and the strokes of the pen were stretched out very long.
So, when his heart was still pounding, Rong Mei, who was sitting opposite him, spoke again, showing her big white teeth, "It's okay, Uncle Li, a woman who is three years older than you is always a treasure, I still have high hopes for you, Uncle Li."
After saying this, he frowned again, and then continued with a tangled look, "But, my mother is a simple person, she is honest, and she doesn't have too many guards against people. She is kind to everyone and never gets angry with anyone. She is also hardworking and restless, and she is also a simple person..."
Uncle Li silently agreed with everything Rong Mei said, thinking that she was absolutely right, which was consistent with his impression of Comrade Liu Rong.
only.
Rong Mei's mouth was still opening and closing, but the words that came out of her mouth didn't seem so friendly. She paused for a moment, looked at Uncle Li's face seriously and said, "Just look at the face."
The pen in Uncle Li's hand fell to the ground with a snap.
Subconsciously raised his hand and touched his stubbled face...
Rong Mei paid three months' rent in one go and walked out of Uncle Li's noodle shop with the contract.
The reason she only paid for three months was because she didn't want to take advantage of it for too long.
The discount in the first three months is acceptable based on our normal relationship, but if the discount continues, the favor we owe will be huge.
She didn't want to keep owing favors to others because of this little rent, and then include Liu Rong in the equation. No matter whether her mother and Uncle Li could be together in the end or not, she had to deal with everything separately.
Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. We are not related at all, although I feel that Uncle Li is like a family member on weekdays.
Besides, Uncle Li doesn't mind spending this little money, but so does she.
Humming a tune.
She could only help Uncle Li up to this point. As for the rest, it would depend on Uncle Li himself to understand and work hard.
Anyway, she was not going to match them up randomly, nor could she make the decision on Liu Rong's behalf.
Can Uncle Li catch my mother?
Uh...she is also quite curious.
"I'm back." Rong Mei took it back to the store. There were customers trying on clothes in the store. Liu Rong handed the person to the clerk and came forward to greet them.
"Well, Mom, this is the contract, please keep it." Rong Mei handed the contract to Liu Rong.
He went to the cashier and poured himself a glass of water, then took a big gulp.
He put down the cup and was about to leave again, "Mom, the contract has been signed. I'm going to go talk to Brother Xu about the decoration."
"Wait a minute!" Liu Rong called her.
"What's wrong?" Rong Mei looked at Liu Rong in confusion.
Did he know about Uncle Li? No way.
Liu Rong walked to the cashier counter, took out the key from her pocket, and opened the drawer door of the cashier counter.
He took out the briefcase from inside, counted out five hundred yuan from the briefcase, and handed it to Rong Mei, "Take this money for pocket money first, and tell mother if you're out of it."
She doesn't have much money in her bag now, and she is now faced with the need to renovate two stores and purchase new goods, which means more investment. Although the store makes money every day, Liu Rong wishes she could save every penny.
But this does not affect her willingness to spend money on her daughter-in-law.
"Mom, it's not necessary. I still have some money here, enough. When I'm out of money, I'll ask you for more." Rong Mei returned the money.
She naturally knew that now was the time to spend money, and no matter how bad the situation was, she still had two or three hundred yuan on her. She didn't need to buy anything at the moment, and she wasn't going anywhere for the time being. The two or three hundred yuan would be enough for her to use for a long time. Besides, she still had a salary every month. Although it wasn't much, with the allowances, it added up to more than fifty-eight yuan. But it included food and accommodation, so the salary was considered a high salary in this era.
"No, you just spent so much money. Just take it if I tell you to. Keep it for yourself." Liu Rong forced the money into Rong Mei's hand without giving her time to refuse.
Giving voluntarily and asking for something are not the same thing. If she, as a mother-in-law, doesn't even have this much tact, how can she have the nerve to be someone's mother-in-law?
"Thank you, mother." Rong Mei took the money and gave Liu Rong a big hug warmly.
He put the money into his wallet.
"Where are you going to find Xiao Xu?"
Thinking of what happened in front of Xu Guodong's unit last time, Liu Rong was still frightened and asked again worriedly.
