Chapter 258 (1/2)
When everything was settled and the party was ready to return to Beijing, Qiao Qian came with Qiao an.
”Faster than I thought.” Xiao Ruixuan, who learned the news, was practicing Taoism with Cheng Zi with a smile. Then they met them in the flower Hall of the outer courtyard.
However, after a half month's parting, Qiao Qian accepted the previous appearance of being a fool, and appeared in front of them like a different person.
And Qiao an behind him is no longer like a second generation ancestor. As soon as he sees Xiao Ruixuan and Cheng Zixiu, he respectfully salutes him, but his eyes are a little uneasy, looking for something.
Qiao Qian, dressed as a businessman, didn't say much when he saw Xiao Ruixuan. Instead, he took out the debt note in triplicate from his sleeve and said to Xiao Ruixuan, ”I'm here to pay back the money today.”
Then he motioned to Joanne to take out a large stack of bank notes.
”Even with the interest of 210000 Liang.” Qiao Qian arched his hand.
After Qiao Qian and Qiao bosh returned to Qiao's home in Shaoxing that day, all the old and young men in the room were flustered.
Over the years, the Qiao family relied on him to make money by doing business abroad. Once he fell down, the whole Qiao family was like a tree falling down and a monkey scattering.
When Qiao Qian proposed that Qiao bosh still owes 200000 Liang, the Qiao family was even more upset.
Someone yelled that this is the IOU signed by Joe bosh. Why should the whole Qiao family pay off the debt together?
Others took the opportunity to propose a separation.
Qiao an, a young and energetic man, jumped out and felt that his father had been working hard to make money these years, but he was raising a group of white eyed wolves. He could only live with wealth, not with hardship.
It's good to be separated from each other, at least they won't become each other's burden in the future.
Old Qiao Shangshu thought that it was meaningless to make trouble like this, so he opened a ancestral temple and separated his family.
But after that, old Qiao Shangshu never got up again
Come to bed. Nobody really cares about the 200000 taels to be paid.
For the first time, the two nephews of Qiao Qian and Qiao an, who were always in hot water in the past, stood together.
As a matter of fact, after he borrowed money from Xiao Ruixuan that day, he didn't spend a cent. What he really needed to pay back was a million taels of money that was rolling every month.
And if they don't pay back the money, it's really fatal to their Qiao family.
So the two of them together, each sold some of the property under his name, and quickly took the money to find it.
Xiao Ruixuan didn't say much, so she accepted the bank notes with a smile, and returned the IOU signed by Qiao bosh to Qiao Qian that day.
Seeing that he had finished what he was worried about, Qiao Qian said goodbye.
Xiao Ruixuan didn't ask Qiao Qian to stay, but just handed him an envelope before he left.
”This is...” Qiao Qian looked at Xiao Ruixuan in a puzzled way.
But Xiao Ruixuan said with a smile, ”I asked you to accompany me to Quanzhou that day. I told you in advance. This is the reward!”
Qiao Qian also pinched the envelope, but the envelope was very thin, even if it was a thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid it couldn't hold much. When he thought of the house he had sold to repay the interest of 200000 Liang, Qiao Qian felt even more heartbroken.
Reluctantly, he pushed the envelope into his lapel and left with Joanne.
”What did you put in the envelope?” Cheng Zixiu, who has been sitting quietly with a cup of tea, asks curiously.
”It's just an edict.” Xiao Ruixuan said with a smile, ”I asked him to go to Liujiagang to get some seafood from boss Hong. Whether he can seize this opportunity depends on his own.”
