Chapter 18: Collecting Interest (2/2)



Xiao Qinyun sighed, "My silly wife, do you really think that if you hand over this evidence to the police station, the Li family will obediently return the money to you? This is a civil dispute. If we go to the police station, the police can only mediate. The defendant Li Yuanyuan is not in Yanjing City, she is in X City.

This requires coordination among all parties. Once she's done, who knows what will happen next, how it will be resolved, and how many variables there will be. Why bother making it so complicated? Now we have easily achieved what we wanted. Her family will definitely ask her to pay this debt. The stage is set, we can just watch the show, why bother to go through the trouble of performing it ourselves!

Don't worry, I won't let her go so easily. I'm just collecting some money now. We'll settle the debt she and Li Hongzhi owe us later!"

After hearing this, Qiao Qinglu nodded continuously, "Okay, let's slowly settle the score with them."

As they were talking, the two of them came to the vicinity of the black market, but still found a dead end. They went into the space, changed their clothes and painted themselves a few shades darker. Seeing that there was no movement outside, they came out.

They found the entrance to the black market, and when the young man saw that it was her, he called out "Sister Qiao" and let her in.

The two men rode to Brother Yong's yard and knocked on the door. It was Da Junzi who opened the door. Seeing Qiao Qinglu bringing a man, he led them in without asking any questions.

Brother Yong watched them come in and said with a smile, "Big sister, what brings you here today? Are you planning to give me the goods in advance? Is this person next to you your partner? What a talented man and beautiful woman!"

Qiao Qinglu also smiled and replied, "Yes, this is my boyfriend, Lao Xiao. Lao Xiao, this is Brother Yong."

Xiao Qinyun stepped forward and politely shook hands with Brother Yong. "Hello, Brother Yong. I'm Lao Xiao."

Brother Yong laughed heartily, "Okay, okay, everyone is fine. It would be even better if Sister Qiao could supply me with the goods in advance."

After hearing Brother Yong repeatedly offer to buy goods, Qiao Qinglu had no choice but to continue, "It seems Brother Yong's business is booming. I just delivered the goods four days ago, and you're urging me to get them today. Could it be that you've already sold out this batch of goods?"

Brother Yong smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, it's only a matter of two or three days. That's why we're so anxious to get you the supply. Business is all about time. It's already mid-March, and some goods won't sell for long, so the sooner you get the goods, the better."

Qiao Qinglu thought for a moment and said, "I'll consider this and we'll talk about it later. I came here today to ask Brother Yong for help. My family wants to exchange or buy a courtyard house, the kind with its own entrance and courtyard. I wonder if Brother Yong has any connections in this area."

Brother Yong thought for a moment and spoke, "There are indeed a few courtyards. I wonder if they've been sold yet. Dajunzi, take Sister Qiao and the others to visit the courtyards in Nanluoguxiang, Houhai, and Wangfujing and ask about their situation."

Da Junzi: "Hello."

Qiao Qinglu rubbed her face. Did I hear it right? Can I afford to buy houses in these three areas?

She quickly asked, "Brother Yong, how big are these houses and what are their prices? Tell me first."

Brother Yong thought so and began to introduce, "According to what you said, you want a quadrangle courtyard with a separate entrance and a separate house. The four courtyards here meet the requirements. Two of them are in Houhai, one is in Nanluoguxiang, and one is in Wangfujing.

There are two courtyards in Houhai, one with two entrances and one with three. Both owners are veteran cadres whose status was restored last year, and their courtyards were returned to them last year, but they were severely damaged. Both owners still have homes and don't want to spend the money to renovate their old houses, so they're looking to sell. Since they haven't found a buyer, they asked me to keep an eye out for them. The two-entry courtyard is 620 square meters and is priced at 1,700 yuan, while the three-entry courtyard is 850 square meters and is priced at 2,000 yuan.

The courtyard in Nanluoguxiang is a three-story building. The owner, a veteran cadre whose status was restored last year, had his house expropriated. It's been well-preserved, though the furniture is gone. The owner reportedly doesn't plan to stay in Yanjing anymore. The house, 1,150 square meters, cost 4,000 yuan.

The Wangfujing courtyard is a second-floor apartment where the owner and his family live. All furniture and furniture are in excellent condition. His child was selected to study abroad in China. The apartment is 666 square meters and costs 3,000 yuan.

After listening to Brother Yong's introduction, Qiao Qinglu realized that no matter which of these houses she bought, she would get a great bargain, so she decided to take delivery today.

She said to Brother Yong, "Brother Yong, don't rush to look at houses. Let's talk about delivery. Without delivery, I don't have the money to buy a house."

Brother Yong said, "Hey, sister, when can you deliver the goods to me? I have already prepared the money and the items."

Qiao Qinglu was unequivocal. "Then we'll deliver it this afternoon. It's 11:20 AM now. I'll go prepare the goods and give you the keys. You can arrange for someone to transport all the prepared items to the Xie Family Courtyard. I'll come to pick up the keys from you at 2 PM, and we'll meet at the Xie Family Courtyard promptly at 2:30 PM. After the delivery, Brother Dajun will take us to see the house."

Brother Yong was very happy to hear that new goods would be available in the afternoon. "Well, that's it. See you later."

Qiao Qinglu also said happily: "See you later."

After the two left Brother Yong's yard, they bought five pounds of five-legged pork, four large boned rats, four pig tails, three pig ears, and six pig trotters on the black market before leaving.

Not far away, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu found a dead end and entered the space to put down the pork. Then they took off their makeup, changed their clothes, and took a net bag to fill it with a bag of roast duck, a portion of Kung Pao chicken, and a portion of braised pork, and carried them out of the space.

It was almost noon, and Xiao Qinyun didn't know what was going on with Xiao's father that morning. He hurriedly rode his bike with Qiao Qinglu to the steel plant.
