After entering the city gate, they found an inn and settled down. The two of them went to eat noodles at a stall outside. Li Ankang asked, "Where shall we go later?"

Qin An replied, "I want the account."

Over the years, the business has gotten better and better, and gradually some old customers have begun to owe debts. This time, he came out to collect the debts mainly, and doing business was secondary.

Li Ankang listened obediently and followed him after eating.

The first stop they went to was a restaurant.

The restaurant is not very big but not small either, and business is pretty good.

When the shopkeeper saw Qin An, he smiled at first, but his smile was a little awkward or embarrassing, and he wanted to invite someone to sit in the private room upstairs.

Qin An went straight to the point, "I came here this time to clear some accounts with you."

The shopkeeper responded with "Yes, yes, yes..." and asked them to go upstairs for fear of affecting the business.

Qin An was not in a hurry, and poured him and Li Ankang a cup of tea to drink. Then he listened to the shopkeeper and said, "It's not that we don't pay the money we owe, it's just that business is not good."

This is telling lies with open eyes, but they are all decent people, and it is not good for them to curse like a shrew. Qin An glanced at Li Ankang, signaling him to take care of it.

Li Ankang has never discussed business, but based on the principle that if you owe money, you should not take care of it. He bluntly said, "We are all businessmen, and we should be honest."

The shopkeeper glanced at Qin An with a bad expression on his face. Qin An approached him and said, "Young master."

Li Ankang observed the two of them, wondering if he had said the wrong thing.

The shopkeeper's face became much brighter because of the young master's words, and he explained, "It's not that we don't want to pay, it's just that we don't have the money."

He didn’t tell me why he didn’t have any money.

Qin An smiled, stood up and said, "As a businessman, I understand, but the shopkeeper has to give me a deadline so that I can go back and deal with my boss."

The shopkeeper hesitated and said in an uncertain tone, "This time next year...

Qin An nodded "Farewell."

Li Ankang doesn't understand. I'm not here to ask for a debt. Is this the end?

After walking out the door and walking downstairs, the shopkeeper said, "We also want some rabbit meat. When will it be ready? I'll ask the waiter to get it."

Qin An laughed and said, "Our boss's rule is to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. To be honest, except for your restaurant, we have never had any debt collection after doing business for so long. I have seen you guys as old customers before, so that's OK." It’s convenient. Now that I haven’t gotten the money back, I’ll wait for the business matters. I hope you can understand.”

He was very kind when it came to asking for accounts, but judging by his words, he was not very kind, and he didn't care about future business cooperation at all. To put it bluntly, we don’t want you as a customer.

The shopkeeper nodded awkwardly and didn't mention it again.

After leaving the restaurant, Li Ankang couldn't wait to ask, "Why don't you pursue me? Are you here to collect the bill?"

Qin An snorted coldly, "Their boss did it on purpose."

"why?"

Why? Qin An was silent for a moment and asked him, "Do you remember Lin Jia?"

Li Ankang pondered for a moment before nodding, "You almost became a son-in-law."

Qin An sighed, "Did you listen to your mother?"

Li Ankang smiled.

Qin An said, "This is her husband-in-law's shop. We didn't cooperate with the Jia family. They came to find us. We didn't know it at the time. Su Yong and I happened to meet Lin Jia and him two years ago. Also. I don’t know how he found out about Lin Jia and I... not long after that, he asked for 50,000 rabbit meat, and I won’t give him the money he owes.”

"Isn't this a rogue thing?" Li Ankang muttered, "What's the matter? Come back next year?"

"No need." Qin An said, "They will give it to me next year."

"why?"

Qin An sneered, "I guess Lin Jia doesn't know these things. The man did it on purpose."

Li Ankang said "Oh" and suddenly said, "That Lin Jia is pretty good. You really don't regret it."

"I have nothing to regret." Qin An raised his hand and knocked him.

This is not the only amount of debt that Su County needs to collect. Even their first regular customer, shopkeeper Tong, owed money for two years.

Probably due to the long time and familiar reasons, Qin An didn't settle the debt last year, but now he has to settle it.

As soon as Qin An walked in through the door, Tong Jiang knew what he was here for.

Let the waiter greet the guests and take them upstairs.

Qin An didn't say any polite words and said directly, "I'm here to ask for money this time."

Tong Jiang nodded, "I guessed it. Even if you don't come, you have to give me the money." He explained, "It was because the account was not recovered."

Qin An nodded, "Our boss naturally knows who the shopkeeper is, otherwise he wouldn't have come now."

Tong Jiang laughed, stood up and said, "I'll get the money."

Qin An took out the receipt from his arms.

Tong Jiang came a little slowly, holding a wooden box containing silver ingots.

Qin An clicked and handed the receipt to Tong Jiang.

Tong Jiang put it away and asked them, "Are you just passing through Su County or do you want to stay for a few days?"

Qin An replied, "I'm passing by and have to go somewhere else. I'll invite shopkeeper Tong for a drink when I get the chance."

Tong Jiang nodded, "Then I won't give it away."

Back at the inn, Li Ankang looked at the heavy box on the table and asked him, "We just bring a box of silver to ask for the account? Wouldn't it be better to exchange for banknotes?"

Qin An: "Your parents prefer silver."

They stayed in Su County for one night and left the next day.

Mao Xiaosui was not used to the sudden absence of someone at home. When he got up in the morning, he always called Li Ankang. Only when Li Yunshan reminded her did she remember that Li Ankang had followed Qin An out.

This habit lasted for three days before I changed it.

It was raining lightly when we woke up in the morning. Business was not going to be very good today. The three of them cleaned up and headed to the barbecue restaurant.

When they arrived at the store, Shen Guzi and the others were already skewering meat, and the old lady was also there. Her face was a little gray from not sleeping all night, and she didn't look good.

Mao Xiaosui asked her, "Are you feeling well?"

The old lady said: "I don't know why, but I always feel out of breath."

It was still cold in the morning and evening. Mao Xiaosui asked, "Are you catching a cold?"

The old lady shook her head, "No way."

"Go and see the doctor." Not to mention Qin An's absence, she and Li Yunshan also liked the old lady quite a lot, so naturally they didn't want anything to happen to her.

The old lady didn't refuse, got up and said, "Then I'll go take a look."

Mao Xiaosui was with her.

Ever since they bought the medical clinic, the old doctor has offered free medical treatment once a month, so just think about it today.

The old lady seemed to be quite ill, and she was breathing heavily when walking.

Because of the free medical treatment, there were many people queuing up at Tianma Liang. Mao Xiaosui immediately saw a small figure standing next to the old doctor. It was because of her disability that she had been thrown away before. She and the old doctor agreed to study medicine with him in the future. boy.

Su Yong named him Su Wang, hoping that he could find hope in life and move forward bravely.

Su Wang saw her first and called her boss.

Mao Xiaosui nodded and looked at the old doctor who was carefully checking his pulse.

He waited until he was done with the patient in front of him and then said, "The old lady is not feeling well, please take a look."

The people in line were not dissatisfied because they jumped in line, because they all knew that the person in front of them was the owner of the medical clinic.

It's not wrong to say that he is the owner. After all, the monthly rent of the medical center is a lot of money, and Mao Xiaosui will also provide some help with medicinal materials to the medical center. The old doctor obviously didn't take all the good things to himself.

The old doctor checked the old lady's pulse and asked after a moment, "Can't you sleep well at night?"

The old lady nodded, "I'm older, so I always wake up."

The old doctor began to write a prescription: "You are suffering from depression. If you think about too many things, you will inevitably suffer from insomnia. The time will not be short."

The old lady said "Oh" but didn't say anything.

After grabbing the medicine and walking back, Mao Xiaosui asked the old lady, "What are you thinking about and can't sleep?"

"Qin An is already this old. I'm afraid that he will be too lonely alone in the future."

Mao Xiaosui actually hated things like urging marriage, but after all, it was the matter between the old lady and Qin An, so she didn't say much.
