Chapter 17 Paying Debts
Xiao Qinyun understood Xiao Yu's feelings, and he repeated: "Dad, you heard it right, Qinglu is more than 7 weeks pregnant with twins. You will be a grandfather in 8 months."
"Good boy, good job!" Xiao Anbang wanted to laugh three times. His eldest son was really amazing. He had a baby two months after getting married, and he also fired two shots with one gun.
Next time when Lao Zhao and Lao Feng come to show off their grandchildren, I will have a nice talk with them. They will tell them that their eldest son did get married late, but he is like Lao Xiao, with good physical strength and high efficiency. Look, he is even better than them and has two children at once.
"By the way, Dad, there's one more thing we haven't told you..." Xiao Qinyun recounted the incident in which Li Yuanyuan and Li Hongzhi teamed up to plot against his wife, and the rumors spread in the machinery factory, textile factory, and supply and marketing cooperative.
Xiao Qinyun continued, "Don't worry. This matter has been settled. My colleagues at work have apologized, and Li Hongzhi has been sent to a farm for labor reform. Only Li Yuanyuan hasn't been caught. At first, I considered calling the police and asking Li Yuanyuan to confess everything she had gotten from Qinglu over the years, but 'the barefoot are not afraid of the shod.' What if Li Yuanyuan uses this rumor as a reason to make a big fuss? It would be a disaster."
So we want to make a fuss about her brother. Her brother and his wife don't have a good relationship with her, and they're very opportunistic. We'll go to the handkerchief factory to meet her brother first. First, we want to publicize her great achievements and find a way to get the money back; second, we want to let her family see her true face and let them fight among themselves so that they don't worry about our family every day.
Qiao Qinglu just wanted them to fight, and didn't think about getting the money back, so she was a little surprised to hear Xiao Qinyun say that, "Can we get the money back by asking her brother?"
Xiao Anbang was a man who had been tempered in the army and had gone through many ups and downs over the years. He naturally understood what his son meant. "Yes, but that's not important. Xiao Yun, you can do this by yourself. Don't take Xiao Qiao with you. She's pregnant. By the way, how is Xiao Qiao? How is the baby? What did the doctor say? You should have called me so I could go see you. Why did you come here?"
Qiao Qinglu shook her head. "I'm fine now. I just went to the hospital for a checkup a few days ago. The doctor said everything is fine. I just need to supplement my nutrition and have regular checkups."
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. You are young and energetic, so don't be impulsive when you go to the scarf factory today. It doesn't matter if you really can't achieve your expected goal. You must know that 'it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge'. Xiao Qiao, the most important things now are you and the child. Leave everything else to Xiao Yun. Don't put yourself in danger, okay?" Xiao Yun said to Qiao Qinglu lovingly.
Xiao Qinyun repeatedly assured her, "I know, I won't put Qinglu and the child in danger. I'll protect Qinglu at the scarf factory and won't let her get close to Li Jizong. Oh, Dad, after this incident, there's been gossip going around in the family compound, and we're thinking of moving to a new house. We're currently looking for a siheyuan (a courtyard house) with its own entrance and courtyard. Dad, could you please help us find out if there's any of these nearby? We can either exchange or buy them. We've saved some money, and living in a tube-shaped building is too crowded and noisy."
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "You've thought it through quite thoroughly. Okay, I'll help you find out. Let's go out. You go to the scarf factory, and I'll go around the factory and ask for you. Please pay attention to Xiao Qiao's safety when riding your bike."
"Okay, then let's go to the scarf factory first. Don't cook at noon. We can do it when we come back." After Xiao Qinyun finished speaking, the three of them walked out the door and split into two groups to do their own things.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the scarf factory. After registering at the guard post, Li Jizong came out.
He followed the guard's instructions and approached the brightly dressed stranger man and woman standing by the gate. "I'm Li Jizong. Who are you and what do you want from me?"
Qiao Qinglu had been brewing her emotions for a while, but now she forced a smile and said, "Brother Li, I'm Qiao Qinglu, Yuanyuan's best friend. Has she mentioned her to you?"
Li Jizong looked around and found that this was the friend who was fooled by Yuanyuan.
I was young at that time and had a good relationship with my sister. I tricked her into giving me a lot of good food. According to my sister, those were all "contributed" by this good friend. How did Tian find him here?
Did her sister cheat her again?
Li Jizong said, "I'm Li Yuanyuan's brother, but I don't have a very good relationship with her. If you have anything to say, please tell me now."
Xiao Qinyun demanded forcefully, "What kind of relationship do you mean? You're her biological brother, right? She owes us 560 yuan and she can't pay it back. Now she's out of town and can't come back, so we have no choice but to ask you to pay her back. Your sister is such a scoundrel. For so many years, she's been eating, drinking, and taking so much from Qinglu under the pretext of being a 'good friend.' And it's not enough. She's been sent to the countryside as an educated youth, and she still wants Qinglu to send her money and tickets every month. We won't count those things for us; we'll just treat them as food for the dogs. You must pay back the 560 yuan. If you don't, we'll call the police, and then your whole family will be humiliated."
Li Jizong rolled his eyes. His sister actually did such a thing. However, Qiao Qinglu always listened to his sister, so it was normal for this to happen.
However, if the couple had evidence, they would have definitely called the police. Now they are looking for him directly. Are they trying to cheat?
