Lin Qingping felt something was wrong.
She didn't spend much time with her second sister, but the few times they met, she found that she was a little depressed.
When I asked, my second sister just said that she was too tired from studying recently.
Lin Qingyun really thought that her mother and brother had already gone back and checked out of the guesthouse. There was no movement from her elder sister, so she tried to test Yunqi, but Yunqi didn't say that he had seen them before.
Just like that, Wu Aixiu came in a noisy manner and left quietly.
At least, that's what Lin Qingyun thought. Her unhappiness was mainly due to the turbulence and restraint she felt when she had to meet Yun Qi every day because they were in the same class.
However, she really underestimated her mother and brother's ability to make trouble.
It was an ordinary weekend, and it had been almost two weeks since Wu Axiu and Lin Jiagui had disappeared.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and summer is approaching in the north.
Lin Qingping's store launched a summer dessert series, and business is booming.
That day was the time when the store was doing the best business. The store was full inside and outside, and people were queuing up to buy food to take away.
Suddenly, several burly men pushed aside the girls in line, rushed in, and started smashing things in the store.
The store began to become chaotic, and the girls screamed and left their seats.
Lin Qingping had encountered such a situation when she opened a shop in her previous life. However, she had opened a shop in a downtown area before, so it was inevitable that there were all kinds of people. Now she opened a shop near a school, and she didn't know what these people were doing. But she was afraid that the girls would get hurt, so she quickly protected the customers and left.
Those people didn't seem to have any intention of harming innocent customers. After smashing things up, they sat down on their seats with a swagger.
Lin Qingping was experienced in dealing with this kind of situation, so he had nothing to fear. He poured a few glasses of water, put them on a tray, and brought them to their table. He smiled and asked, "Brothers, you are all guests. It's hot, so have a drink of water first."
Those people glanced at her sideways and asked, "Are you the boss?"
"Yes." Lin Qingping replied with a smile, "Brothers, we have never met before. I don't know why there is such a big battle?"
Those people still didn't give a direct answer, but looked at her with suspicion, "Lin?"
"Yes." Lin Qingping felt something was wrong. This person was coming for her. He was coming for her! Unlike those hooligans in the previous life who wanted to eat for free or extort some pocket money, those people in the previous life came into the store randomly. They saw that she was a weak woman and thought she was easy to bully, so they came to her.
The big guy in the lead slammed a few papers on the table and said, "Pay your debt! Lin Jiagui owes us money, and you are his sister, so you should pay your brother's debt!"
Lin Qingping's head suddenly buzzed.
She was quite familiar with this scene.
Her brother was a slacker all his life, spending his time eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, and it was not uncommon for him to be in debt. In her previous life, she kept making money and kept paying back her brother.
But I didn't expect that in this life, this scene would come so quickly.
Since these people could find this place, she believed it to be about 70%. The debt was real. At a glance, the handwriting on the IOU looked like it was scratched by chicken claws. It was also her brother's handwriting, and there was a handprint at the bottom of the signature.
But she couldn't admit it.
She could no longer use her hard-earned money to fill that bottomless pit as she did in her previous life.
She still smiled, "Brothers, where is my brother? You can't just say you owe me money and I'll give it to you, right? If a stranger came up to you and said so-and-so owed you money and asked you to pay it back, you wouldn't believe him easily!"
The leader immediately got angry, "How could I lie to you? Take a look for yourself! This is the IOU written by Lin Jiagui himself! It's for 50,000 yuan! If you can't pay, you can use the store as collateral!"
Fifty thousand yuan...
Lin Qingping didn't even have any anger left. She had been tormented by her mother and brother all her life, and when she heard this number again, she could only sigh.
This is an era where a millionaire is considered extremely wealthy, and fifty thousand yuan...
She will never pay this money back!
"No matter what, I have to see my brother first to confirm the truth of this matter." Lin Qingping delayed temporarily. Facing such a few burly men, she didn't feel powerful enough to fight them head-on.
As soon as these words came out, the leading burly man slammed the table and said, "If I could find your brother, would I come to your place? I don't know where this bastard has gone! When he borrowed money, he said, 'My sister runs a store at Capital University, she has plenty of money.' But when it comes to paying back the money, he hides away like a turtle bastard!"
"Give me some time, I'll find him." Lin Qingping faced the big man's anger, "Brother, you want to get the money in the end, not to smash the store, right? Even if you smash my store today, you won't get the money! This is a society ruled by law."
"Yes, yes, big brother, we are a small business and we can't even come up with 50,000 yuan." Gu Youlian also came over and cried poor, "Look at our stuff, a cup of cold drink is 1 cent, and it will take many years to sell it for 50,000 yuan! We have only opened this store for a few months!"
There was a menu on the table, and the big men saw the prices at a glance. Indeed, the average price was about one cent per portion.
The leading man strode towards the cashier counter.
There is no cash register now, just a table, and the money is kept in the drawer.
The big man opened the drawer and saw only small coins. His brows immediately furrowed.
He pointed at Lin Qingping and said, "I'll give you three days. I don't care whether you can find Lin Jiagui or not, but I must see the fifty thousand yuan! Otherwise, you can't open this shop! We don't care about the law in this business, so don't bluff me, little girl!"
The group came in with great fanfare and left with great fanfare. Before leaving, they picked up beer bottles and smashed them against the door, holding up the broken bottles to show their power to Lin Qingping.
As soon as the person left, Gu Youlian fell to the ground.
She was already terrified, and she was only holding on to support Lin Qingping. Now that the person left, she was exhausted.
Under this situation, the store could no longer be opened. Lin Qingping asked Sister Zhao to hang up a sign to suspend business and helped Gu Youlian up.
"Pingzi..." Gu Youlian was worried about her, "What should we do? Not to mention that we just bought a house. Even if we don't buy a house, we can't afford so much money."
Gu Youlian thought for a moment and then said, "I still have a few hundred dollars here. I'll ask Dugan later to see how much he has. We can pool our money together and find a solution based on the difference."
Lin Qingping stared at Gu Youlian, feeling mixed emotions.
In her previous life, she didn't care about the Gu family and really didn't understand Gu Youlian. In fact, after being married for several years, she had only seen her sister-in-law a few times.
There were countless examples of brothers and sisters becoming estranged or even fighting over uneven distribution of wealth, whether in the previous life or this life. Gu Youlian was just her aunt, but now she was willing to help her collect the money. On the other hand, her own mother and brother...
Even though she had lived through a lifetime and seen all sorts of vicissitudes, at this moment, her heart still felt moist.
"Sister, we won't return this money." She held Gu Youlian's hand.
