Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man
Chapter 187: Every Family in the Courtyard is in Debt
As for the language of the Mao country, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian only know a few simple sentences such as greeting and reporting their names, and they don't know anything else.
In the past, Xu Damao had to assign Natasha, Valya or Yulia to help them take care of things.
They had no way to communicate with others and could not understand the whole story. They could do nothing but be frightened. Fortunately, after a night of suffering, they were able to leave in the morning after paying all the money they had.
In fact, when Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian were taken away by the local authorities of MSK, Natasha was leading people waiting at the train station to pick up the goods.
Natasha was a local, so she recognized those people as the staff who were maintaining the market order. She was afraid of getting into trouble, so she didn't dare to show up, and hurried back to the hotel to report the matter to Xu Damao.
The instant noodles and sausages exported to the country of Damao by "Mrs. He'e Food Enterprise of Sijiucheng" all have formal procedures and are exported through normal channels. Xu Damao has never experienced such a thing.
However, he was also worried about the goods brought by Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian. After all, if those goods were really gone, he would lose a lot of money. So he hurried out to find a solution from the "traders" he dealt with.
What else can the "smugglers" do except to have a good relationship with the train conductors of the Russian Federation or to try their best to avoid the people related to MSK.
Some people who have been in the business of "smuggling" for a long time and were deeply touched advised Xu Damao, "Who in this business has not had their things confiscated? Don't worry, he will be fine."
Xu Damao had been in the country for a long time, and his local dialect was only slightly better than Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian. In his circle at MSK, apart from the "sellers", there were Natasha, Valya, and Yulia Sanliva.
Being in a foreign country, Xu Damao wanted to help his old neighbors, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian, so that they could return to the old city and publicize his strength in the courtyard. However, the reality was that he was willing but unable.
Fortunately, Xu Damao didn’t have to worry for long. The next morning, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian came to the hotel where he was staying.
The two hadn't eaten properly for almost a day, so they wanted to eat as soon as they entered Xu Damao's room. Xu Damao didn't have much else, but he had left quite a few samples of instant noodles and sausages.
At this point, the two men didn't hesitate to eat. Each of them soaked three bags of instant noodles and several sausages. Before the noodles were even softened, the two men wolfed them down.
After they had filled their stomachs, they remembered their business. They looked at Xu Damao with hope and said, "Brother Damao, all the goods we brought have been taken away."
"The money used to buy the goods this time is not just from our Yan family and Liu family. More than half of the money was borrowed by the neighbors in the courtyard."
"There's also money invested by our sister-in-law Ji Yun!"
"Brother Damao, you are a big businessman, can you think of a way to get the goods out for us?"
Xu Damao is a mean person to begin with. Even if his interests are not affected, he can still save his face by offering advice and thinking of solutions. This has ruined the fortune of his family in Sijiucheng, yet he can still be polite to Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian.
"You guys are really awesome! How dare you touch the money I left for family expenses! Fine, fine..." Xu Damao was angry inside, but he didn't show it on his face. He explained confidently, "Yesterday, after you got into trouble, I went to look for someone."
"You guys are really brave. Don't you understand that steady progress is the key? You dare to do something so big without any formal procedures."
"Without me going to say hello, can you still come out?"
After these words were spoken, the only hope was shattered. Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian looked down at the ground, not knowing what to do next. The scene suddenly became quiet.
Seeing the two of them looking helpless and depressed, Xu Damao rolled his eyes and offered an idea: "You two should call back to Sijiucheng right away and ask your families to raise money so that you can buy some MSK local specialties and sell them back to reduce the losses this time."
The two men had no better ideas and, as Xu Damao suggested, they used the phone in the hotel room to make an international long-distance call.
It is said that every family in the courtyard emptied their family savings, borrowed money, and invested it in the Liu and Yan families, hoping that Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian would come back soon so that they could fulfill their dream of getting rich.
After waiting for a long time, what we got was: Liu Haizhong was furious, roaring into the phone, constantly scolding Liu Guangtian; Yan Bugui was in pain, and kept muttering, "No, this is not true. Jie Cheng, you can't joke!"
Xu Damao explained and comforted Ji Yun on the phone, and Ji Yun's emotions did not fluctuate much. However, she told the retired seniors what happened to Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian at MSK.
Neighbors for so many years, although the incident happened, everyone still had a fantasy, hoping that Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian would bring back good news. Some people went to Liu's house, some went to Yan's house, and comforted Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.
Back to MSK, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian, who had calmed down, knew they could not rely on their families, so they approached Xu Damao, hoping that he could lend them some money to solve their urgent problem.
"You are using my chickens to lay eggs for you. What good are you thinking? Besides, when the money comes into your hands, you should return it to the neighbors and let you gain fame and profit. Am I, Xu Damao, a fool?"
Xu Damao was very disdainful in his heart, and he sighed silently, "Jie Cheng, Guang Tian, don't disbelieve me when I tell you, I really don't have much cash."
"You are also 'traders'. You should know that I have goods circulating every week, and all my money is tied up in the goods."
"It's not that I'm not being righteous. I'll buy you train tickets back to the city. One day, when you have more money, just pay me back."
Xu Damao spoke beautifully, but he was actually feeling proud. "Anyway, I've made money from you. Even if you refuse to pay for the train tickets, I won't lose anything."
"However, if you dare not pay back the train ticket money, I wonder how you will make money from this 'trader' in the future..."
Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian stayed in MSK for two days. They called Siheyuan again and confirmed that they could not raise any money. Then they reluctantly boarded the train back to Beijing.
Xu Damao was quite kind and righteous. He not only prepared instant noodles and sausages for them, but also gave them some change in case of emergency.
Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian knew that this time they had caused quite a bit of trouble, so they returned to the old city and did not dare to go to the Siheyuan. They completely avoided the life circle of everyone in the Siheyuan.
As the days passed, the people in the courtyard realized the seriousness of the problem because the repayment deadline for the money they borrowed from others had arrived.
For example, Qin Huairu borrowed money from her daughter and son-in-law, and thought that everything would be fine if she just said hello to Xiao Huaihua. She calculated the time when Xiao Huaihua would get off work, went to the compound where they lived, and called Xiao Huaihua to the yard.
Qin Huairu finished her story by avoiding the main point, but unexpectedly she was met with a storm of criticism from Little Sophora japonica. Little Sophora japonica choked up and said, "Mom, what kind of life have I led in the Jia family since I was a child? What do people in the courtyard say about me? You must know, right?"
"All the money I earned before I got married was in your hands; the high price of the bride price you collected when I got married was paid off by me and the big guy together."
"The big guy and I worked hard every day to save some money, but you took it all away. If you say it's gone, then it's gone. I will just consider it as repaying your kindness in giving birth to me and raising me."
"I'm calling you mom for the last time. Mom, please leave me a way out. From now on, please don't come to find me again..."
