Chapter 741: Focus on Cooperation
Old Mrs. Zheng felt like her heart was bleeding.
She glanced at Li Sanlang and a little hope rose in her heart.
"Old Third, please say something!"
Mrs. Zheng said anxiously.
Li Sanlang raised his head, seeming not to understand what Mrs. Zheng meant.
He spoke? What did he say?
"You bought the fabric for Mei'e. What does it have to do with me? What can I say?" Li Sanlang said confusedly.
Old Mrs. Zheng felt so angry when she saw Li Sanlang that her teeth were itching. She was even angrier than when she saw the owner of the cloth shop.
"Are you dead? Can't you see that your mother is being bullied? Is this how you treat others as a son? Others are about to shit on your mother's neck? And you are still pretending to be stupid and honest! People like you should be struck by lightning!"
There was no sign that Old Lady Zheng was going to lose her temper. Li Sanlang had not said a word to Li Mei'e and Old Lady Zheng since he entered the door. But even so, he was now scolded by Old Lady Zheng in front of everyone.
Li Sanlang's confusion at the beginning was pretended, but now he really feels a little confused and a little ridiculous.
I really have a short memory. Even after so many lessons, I still thought that Old Mrs. Zheng would be able to give me a little bit of truth. But the result is, she is not able to do anything at all.
Old Mrs. Zheng only thinks about whether she is happy or not about this matter. As for the life or death of others, she doesn't care.
"This is your good son!" In the last sentence, Mrs. Zheng also scolded Mr. Li.
The shopkeeper looked at Li Sanlang with some sympathy. He looked like an honest man. The man who wanted to steal the ten taels of silver back should be his brother, but why was there such a big gap between them?
An honest man who looks like he has no brains at all and a man who is cunning and obviously not a good person are actually brothers.
"Third brother, my purse was left at home when I went out. You can give me the money first and I will give it to you when we get home." Old Mrs. Zheng said to Li Sanlang, her tone softening.
It is hard to imagine that the person who was pointing at your nose and scolding you just now can now change his expression in an instant and talk to you calmly.
How could Li Sanlang believe what she said about not bringing any money?
If he didn't bring any money, where did he get the ten taels of silver from?
"Don't worry, you can put these ten taels of silver here as collateral, and I'll wait for you to go back and get the money. You can send it today or tomorrow. When the time comes, I will let you take all the cloth without missing a single piece."
"You don't need to worry that I will default on my debt. My store is here. Even if the monk can run away, the temple cannot. Twenty-six taels of silver is not worth it for me to run away with the money."
This matter had nothing to do with the shopkeeper, but Li Sanlang looked really pitiful.
The shopkeeper was really worried that he would take out the twenty-six taels of silver to make up for the loss. His original intention was to make the mother and daughter spend money, not to implicate innocent people.
"When did it become your turn to take care of our family affairs? You run a business, take the money if you want, but who has the right to control who spends money on whom? This is my son! He has to do whatever I want him to do! If you are pretending to be a good person here, you can give us all the cloth and I won't let him pay me! How is that?"
The shopkeeper opened a business to make money. Li Sanlang had no relationship with him, so it was rare for him to say a few words for him. It was impossible for him to give away the money he had earned for him.
"Third brother, so many people are watching here. Mom has already said that she will give it to you when we get home. It's not like you are asking for the money. Why are you not willing to pay for it?" Li Dalang yelled.
This is the real injustice.
"I……"
"You came out to buy things without bringing money, and the shopkeeper said that you could send the money today or tomorrow. Why don't you agree with the shopkeeper and instead keep asking my father for money?"
Li Sanlang was stunned and subconsciously looked back.
It turned out to be Li Mingxia!
Why is Li Mingxia here? Shouldn't my daughter be busy in the restaurant at this time?
When he came to the town, Li Sanlang was still thinking that it was a pity that he didn't know where his daughter opened a restaurant. Otherwise, he could go to his daughter's restaurant to take a look. After all, he hadn't been to his daughter's restaurant for such a long time.
It was a coincidence that Li Mingxia's restaurant was right next to this cloth shop. When she went out just now, she happened to see her family's carriage. She also knew that Li Sanlang would accompany the people from the Li family's old house to the town today.
She had originally wanted to take a look from a distance and return to the restaurant after making sure nothing was wrong. After all, she really didn't want to deal with the people in the Li family's old house.
But the problem was obvious at first glance. How come this old lady Zheng always caused trouble wherever she went? And every time she caused trouble, these people would point the finger at her honest father if they couldn't solve it.
Does it mean that my honest father deserves it?
But today, my honest father did not disappoint me. He actually withstood the pressure. And it looked like he didn't plan to pay them even if I didn't say anything.
Even the advance payment that Old Lady Zheng and Li Dalang proposed was not agreed by Li Sanlang.
Although such clumsy words were obviously lies, for Li Sanlang, if it were in the past, he would really believe it and would most likely agree to the proposal. He would even believe that they would really return the money to him after returning home.
All I can say is that it is impossible to teach people by teaching them, but people can be taught by being taught a few times. No matter how honest or simple-minded a person is, he will realize it if he suffers too many times.
Li Sanlang is the best example.
"Li Mingxia! You have nothing to do here. You're an eyesore! Get out of here!" Li Mei'e became anxious when she saw Li Mingxia and started to drive him away without saying a word.
Li Mingxia almost laughed out loud when he saw Li Mei'e's frustrated look.
"This is someone else's cloth shop, and the owner didn't chase me away. Who do you think you are? Why don't they let me stay here? What's the matter? Do you want to buy out the cloth shop with twenty-six taels of silver? But even if you want to buy it, you have to ask the owner whether he wants to sell it to you or not, right?" Li Mingxia said with a smile.
This cloth shop and Li Mingxia's restaurant are right next to each other, so naturally they have seen each other before.
The shopkeeper had also eaten in Mingyue Tower and had great admiration for women like Li Mingxia. When he heard Li Mingxia say this, he immediately cooperated.
