Chapter 175 Returning South
Chapter 175 Returning South
Xu Shu didn't understand what was going on, he just felt that this person was probably sick.
But if he was sick, he was sick. After all, the other person wanted to give him money. Xu Shu, in keeping with his good character of honesty, said to him, "Mahjong is for people to play, not for playing with birds."
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, very surprised: "Does teasing work?"
"Funny?" Xu Shu pondered his words for a moment, but couldn't figure it out, so he said, "If you're curious, sign the contract and I'll take you to see it."
Jiang Yu picked up the pen and wrote his name neatly.
Then he handed the deed to Xu Shu and looked at Fang Ru and Wei Lao who were a little overwhelmed: "In this case, the two of us will take our leave first."
Fang Ru exclaimed, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Fang Ru had already stood up swiftly and walked to the door.
Elder Wei said quickly: "Xu Shu, you can't leave."
Xu Shucai ignored him. It was Li Ziguang who owed them money, not him. Why couldn't he leave?
When Fang Ru saw that he really had no intention of taking care of Li Ziguang's gambling debt, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Mr. Wei wanted to come up and pull him back, but was stopped by Fang Ru.
Watching Xu Shu slowly stand up, Fang Ru finally figured out everything and said angrily, "Xu Shu, you did this on purpose."
Not too stupid.
Xu Shu glanced at Fang Ru and said with a smile, "Manager Fang, what do you mean?"
Fang Ru snorted coldly: "Do you think that by using Li Ziguang as a cover and letting us work hard on him, you can destroy the gambling house's foundation of more than ten years? You want to take advantage of the situation and force us to sign this unscrupulous contract? Dream on."
"The money he owes is just a drop in the ocean. It's nothing to us."
Xu Shu waved his hand, signaling him to calm down: "Manager Fang, I just said that it was something we both agreed to, how can you say that I forced you to do it?"
"I don't understand why you say I used Li Ziguang as a cover. I just helped him pay off his gambling debts because we are relatives."
"You took the title deed, and I paid off the gambling debt. It was the best of both worlds. How could it be that I was scheming against you?"
Fang Ru was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Xu Shu with trembling fingers: "You...you...I have never seen such a shameless person like you."
These words were too harsh to be heard, Xu Shu even looked down on Fang Ru.
"In business, people often scheme against each other and say one thing but mean another. Shopkeeper Fang has been doing business for many years. Is this the first time he has encountered something like this? You guys wanted to make fun of Li Ziguang, luring him to the gambling house to gamble, and then manipulated him to lose money. Then you used the gambling debt to pin it on me, and you wanted to force me to hand over the land deed."
"What's the difference between your plan and what I'm doing now? You can't afford to lose."
Old Wei couldn't stand it any longer and slammed the table: "Who said we asked Li Ziguang to come to the gambling house to gamble? It was obvious that he came here on his own!"
"Who said we manipulated him to lose money? He obviously won a lot of money!"
Xu Shu didn't understand now, and looked at Wei Lao: "Since he won the money, what do you mean by saying he owes money?"
"Literally." Old Wei said unhappily, staring to the side.
He was unwilling to talk about it, and Xu Shu was unwilling to listen either, so he walked out immediately. Anyway, he knew where Li Ziguang was, so he just went to ask someone.
But when they left the gambling house, Jiang Yu suddenly sighed: "Mr. Xu, I'm speaking a fair word, don't be angry."
Xu Shu looked at him and signaled him to speak frankly. Jiang Yu then said, "Although I don't have a good relationship with Mr. Wei, if we really want to be fair, it's really not fair for you to let Li Ziguang go to his gambling house to take advantage of the loopholes."
He didn't understand what was said at all. Just as he was trying to figure out the key points, Ah Xi suddenly called out, "Young Master, why are you here? Greetings to Young Master Xu and Young Master."
"Young Master?" Xu Shu suddenly realized, "Yuzhou Jiang Mansion... You are Jiang Xiaoyu's brother?"
Jiang Yu's face flashed with surprise, and then he sighed: "Brother, I can't control him. Are you...seeking revenge or seeking marriage?"
Xu Shu's eyelids jumped: "Your brother, you are usually very lively."
Jiang Yu shrugged and looked at Ah Xi again: "Why are you here?"
Ah Xi smiled sheepishly: "The young master asked me to work with Master Xu in the future."
"Then follow Master Xu." Jiang Yu waved towards the roadside, and a young servant led a horse towards him.
He put his hand on the horse's back and stepped firmly on the stirrup. "My gambling house is across from the Muyi Building. Brother Xu, just go straight there with the contract. I will not interfere in the future grudges between you and the gambling house."
Xu Shu was a little surprised: "Aren't you curious about mahjong?"
Jiang Yu climbed onto the horse with one hand and was saluting towards Xu Shu. Hearing this, he was stunned: "There really is such a thing? I thought Master Xu was just making it up."
I thought he made it up, but he actually signed the deed? I don't know if he knows Jiang Xiaoyu. The reason for excluding Jiang Xiaoyu is really because he is mentally ill?
Then he can't bully a fool. Xu Shu pulled Jiang Yu's horse reins and said sincerely: "I admit that this contract is a bit dark, but it is true."
Jiang Yu laughed after hearing this: "But I'm out for a while, and the birds at home might get angry. Let's play mahjong later."
Xu Shu was more and more confused about the person in front of him, but he didn't care about the free money, so he just said: "When the Muyi Building opens, please come and show me your favor, Mr. Jiang."
"Muyilou." Jiang Yu pulled the reins and recalled, "I heard from A-Yu that the dishes are good, so the table must be full. I should invite Master Xu, please leave a few seats for us."
Xu Shu just said "sure", then he took the whip from the servant, whipped it lightly, and walked away staggeringly.
It's also strange that he rides a horse like a donkey.
Xu Shu looked around for a while, and Ah Xi couldn't help but come forward to explain: "Our eldest son, although he does things and speaks strangely, he is a very good person. He never beats or scolds the servants, and he is also capable. Who has ever heard of the Jiang family in Yuzhou before?"
I have never heard of Xu Shu from the Jiang family in Yuzhou, so I humbly asked Ah Xi: "What business does the head of the Jiang family do?"
"Silk." Ah Xi thought for a moment, "There are also some porcelain, jade, and shipbuilding."
"Shipbuilding?" Xu Shu suddenly remembered why he felt Jiang Yu looked familiar.
He should have seen him a few times at Xiao Ran's nephew's birthday party, but he left early. He only heard Wu Yong mention it later, saying that someone donated a fleet, which he thought was outrageous.
"Very good." Xu Shu nodded, "Let's go home."
He was indeed too poor.
-
As soon as Jiang Yu arrived home, he heard the voices of Jiang Xiaoyu and Li Maoer coming from the yard. He didn't know what they were discussing, but they were chattering and laughing from time to time. It was very lively.
He dismounted, handed the reins to the servant, straightened his clothes, and was about to take a step when he heard a muffled voice behind him: "Master."
Jiang Yu smiled and turned back: "Why don't you play with A Yu?"
Xu Nangui frowned: "I don't like crowds by nature."
Jiang Yu's smile faded: "I went to see Xu Shu today, so I came back late."
Xu Nangui no longer looked at him, but just held the basin in his hand and watered the tree.
Jiang Yu went up to take the basin from his hand and looked at the still wet tree pit: "Agui, don't be angry, huh?"
