Chapter 50 Asking for Money
"That's a blind bear. Its gallbladder and paws alone are worth a lot of money, not to mention its skin!" Liang Yuanwang was so angry that he couldn't even eat.
If he had known earlier, he would have kept a closer eye on her. I thought that with Liu Chunhua's personality, she would never suffer any loss.
But who made her not understand the market situation?
"Give me the receipt, and I'll go talk to that guy tomorrow!" Liang Yuanwang really couldn't swallow this humiliation.
Isn't this obviously bullying?
The money must be recovered.
"Don't worry, Lao Si. I will go with her."
Liang Huanxue knew that her third uncle would come out to speak for Liu Chunhua. The two of them had a good understanding and understood each other's intentions with just a glance.
When Liang Yuan saw that his third brother said this, he nodded and no longer insisted on following.
But I'm still worried that I won't get the money back.
After all, his third brother is not a strong man, and maybe the two of them will be bullied together.
Liang Huanxue originally wanted to continue adding fuel to the fire.
But she thought about it and felt that even if her father didn't go with her, Liu Chunhua wouldn't be able to play any tricks.
Because there is absolutely no way that Third Uncle would help her to lie.
"Let's eat first." Old Mrs. Liang had doubts when she first received the sixty taels of silver. Even in today's world, no matter how cheap the blind bear was, he would not sell it at this price.
She guessed that Liu Chunhua had embezzled some of the money. Anyway, as long as she didn't give the money to Liu Erzhuang, she could turn a blind eye to it.
Judging from her appearance, she probably couldn't sell it for as much as 150 taels.
Liu Chunhua was quite careful in her actions. If she really sold it for 150 taels, she would have to be given at least 100 taels of silver so as not to arouse suspicion.
It seems that at most she did as Xue'er said, and only sold it for a hundred or so taels of silver.
That's why I was so angry.
After dinner, Mrs. Liang gave the receipt to Liu Chunhua.
"Mom, you know that a receipt was drawn up at that time. I was stupid for not clarifying this matter. If I don't get the money back..."
"I think we should let the fourth brother go with him. With him around, we can get some back." Wang Xifen knew Liu Chunhua was feeling guilty as soon as she saw the look on her face.
Saying this is also a way to save face.
"Even if I don't get too much back, I should still be able to get some of it." Liu Chunhua clenched her teeth.
"If you're not sure, just bring the fourth brother with you. More people means more help. He might be more useful than the two of you." Nian Huayue also echoed.
Liang Yuanwang is a famous hunter. Among the game collectors in this area, who would not give him some face?
"No need, cousin. I told you, this is the hole I created, so I should fill it." Liu Chunhua said, and dragged Liang Yuanshan back to the room.
Old Lady Liang waved at Liang Huanxue, "Did you really see her taking the money?"
"That day Liu Erzhuang came to her and asked her for money, and she took out a wallet this big, filled to the brim." Liang Huanxue gestured with her hands.
"How can you be sure that it was the money she embezzled? Aren't you afraid of wrongly accusing her?" Old Mrs. Liang said with a smile.
Liang Huanxue curled her lips. She would never wrong Liu Chunhua no matter who she wronged.
It's easy to guess that such a large amount of money definitely didn't come from legitimate channels.
Think about what she has done in the past few days, and the answer will come out, right?
"Even if I can't get the other fifty taels back, it would be fine if I could get her to return the forty taels she stole. I'm just afraid she will find ways to fool me." Old Mrs. Liang knew that she would not give up the money so easily.
"Then why don't we go find that merchant and ask him how much silver he gave us?" Liang Huanxue didn't believe that the merchant could help her lie.
Using sixty taels of silver to take away a blind bear is a complete fraud.
"That's an idea. Let's see how she handles it first," said Mrs. Liang.
Early the next morning, the Liang family waited for Liu Chunhua and Liang Yuanshan to go to the merchant to ask for the money.
But Liu Chunhua said that the ticket was missing.
"How come the money that mother gave you last night is gone? Could it be that you really stole the money and didn't want to give it back? And you were afraid that if you found the merchant, he would expose your lie, so you deliberately destroyed the bill?"
Wang Xifen knew she would play such a trick.
"Third brother, did anything strange happen after you returned to your room yesterday? This receipt shouldn't have been lost inexplicably, right?" Nian Huayue was too lazy to talk to Liu Chunhua and asked Liang Yuanshan directly.
Liang Yuanshan shook his head, "No."
"Have you seen the receipt?" Nian Huayue asked again.
Liang Yuanshan still shook his head, "No."
He only took a look at the receipt when his mother gave it to Liu Chunhua.
I couldn't even see the contents of the receipt clearly.
"It doesn't matter if the ticket is lost. The man doesn't know about it. Let's not tell him yet. Maybe we can cheat him. How about I go with you? You don't have to say anything, just watch from the side."
Liang Yuanwang didn't think that he would have no way to get the money back if he lost the receipt.
The other party doesn't know about this.
Wouldn't it be all right if we just find a way to make him admit that he gave us less money?
Liang Huanxue stood aside and yawned, showing no intention of joining in.
She had guessed Liu Chunhua's trick yesterday.
Now there are only two words in my mind: That’s it?
"I'll go back and look for it." Liu Chunhua hurried back to the room and came out with the receipt in a few moments.
"Looks like you found it?" Nian Huayue sneered, "You have to put it away carefully, don't lose it again."
"Don't worry, cousin, something like that won't happen again. We'll leave first." Liang Yuanshan couldn't stay any longer, so he pulled Liu Chunhua out.
Halfway through the journey, he stopped and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? You really don't want to tell me?"
Last night he also asked Liu Chunhua what she was hiding from him, but no matter how he asked she wouldn't tell him.
Just say you have a way.
I didn't expect this to be the solution.
It's really embarrassing.
"I told you, don't be angry." Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Liu Chunhua had to tell the truth.
Finally, he had to defend himself, "I took this money to buy a shop for Wei Jiang. You don't want to see Wei Jiang being suppressed by others all the time, do you?
I thought that when he had learned enough from Wenxuan and could work on his own, I would use the money to open a shop for him and let him be the manager.
Liang Yuanshan was originally very angry when he heard that she had embezzled forty taels of silver.
But after hearing the reason she gave, my anger subsided a lot.
"So what do you think we should do?"
"I took out the silver and told my mother that we wanted it back." Liu Chunhua felt heartbroken at the thought of returning the silver.
