Chapter 574 Got the money
Meiyu originally wanted to exchange a few more words with her third brother and say some flattering words, but when she heard her mother say this, she immediately shut her mouth.
"Third brother, we won't bother you anymore. Building a house is a big deal. You go ahead and do your work."
As Meiyu spoke, she turned around and left with her mother, walking hurriedly as if something terrible was chasing them.
The two quickly found a secluded and shady place where there was no one else and it was very quiet.
Meiyu couldn't wait to take out the money she had just received from her pocket, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Although this amount of money is not much, it is already a considerable fortune considering the beautiful jade today.
She counted the money carefully and felt extremely satisfied.
Meiyu thought back to the past days when she had no worries about food and clothing and lived a carefree life.
However, life nowadays is not as good as before. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go back to frugality from extravagance!
She stared at the silver and money in her mother's hand without taking her eyes off it, and kept thinking in her mind: How great it would be if all this money could be in my hands!
In this way, you can buy another piece of beautiful cloth and make yourself a new dress.
Meiyu said softly, "Mom, let's discuss something."
The old lady didn't even raise her head and responded casually: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Mom, you see, my man is going out to do business, so the more money he makes, the better."
"But the money he has now may not be enough. As the saying goes, a poor family makes a rich journey. If you carry more money with you when you go out, you will feel more at ease, right?"
When the old lady heard this, she understood that her daughter was thinking about her money.
She felt somewhat unhappy and quickly put the purse tightly into her arms, as if she was afraid that Meiyu would reach out and snatch it away.
Meiyu naturally saw through the old lady's thoughts and knew that it would not be easy to get her mother to take out the money willingly.
She rolled her eyes, and a plan came to her mind. She smiled and said to the old lady, "Mom, don't be anxious. Just listen to what I have to say."
"You also know that my husband is a good businessman. All the food and daily necessities for our family are earned by him alone."
As she spoke, Meiyu stretched out two fingers, waved them in front of the old lady, and then continued, "How about this, mother, I promise you that when my husband comes back from making money this time, I will give you 20% of the profits. Do you think it's okay?"
The old lady thought to herself, these two cents of profit sound like a lot, but what if the business loses money, wouldn’t that be a waste of money?
I am not as easy to fool as the third brother, so I have to think about it again.
Meiyu looked at the old lady's thoughtful expression and felt secretly delighted in her heart, for she knew that the old lady had been moved by the two cents of profit.
"Mom, you see, my man only takes about a month to come back and forth."
"If you put the money somewhere else, you might not even get one cent, let alone two cents." Meiyu said quickly, her tone very sincere.
The old lady listened to Meiyu's words and thought more and more that they made sense.
As long as you lend money to Meiyu, you can get 2% interest after a month or so. This is really a good deal!
However, the old lady still had some concerns.
After all, this is a considerable amount of money. What if you can’t even get your capital back?
Meiyu seemed to see through the old lady's thoughts, and she continued, "Mom, think about it, you are so close to Third Brother's house, if he can give you one today, he can naturally give you a second time in the future."
"If the money is not enough, you can go to him for more. Anyway, his family is so rich, and you are his biological mother. If he doesn't spend money on you, who else can he spend it on?"
After hearing what Meiyu said, the old lady's worries were relieved. She felt that Meiyu was right.
The third son is his own son. Although there were some grudges between them before, the fact that he is willing to give him money today shows that the relationship between the two families is not so irreparable.
Even if I really can't get my capital back, the worst that can happen is I can go ask the third brother for it.
After hearing Meiyu's words, the old lady took out all the money from her pocket, then carefully placed them in the palm of her hand, weighing them carefully.
Meiyu's eyes lit up instantly. She was secretly proud of herself, thinking that she was so amazing that she could get so much money from her mother.
"Thank you, mother!" Meiyu said happily. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand impatiently to take the money.
However, just when her hand was about to touch the money, the old lady suddenly seemed to realize something, and quickly grabbed the money and held it tightly in her hand.
Meiyu saw this and tried to snatch it away, but the old lady refused to let go. The two of them fought back and forth like this, and neither of them was willing to give in easily.
After all, the old lady had just recovered, so her physical strength was naturally not as good as Niu Meiyu's.
After a fierce battle, the old lady was finally defeated.
"Mom, just wait at home with peace of mind. I will definitely send you money after a while." Seeing this, Meiyu hurriedly comforted her.
The old lady nodded helplessly. Although she was somewhat reluctant, she knew she couldn't persuade her daughter, so she had to watch Meiyu take the money away.
Meiyu thought to herself that as soon as the cloth shop opened, she would take the money to buy a piece of beautiful cloth to make herself a new dress to get rid of the bad luck.
As for the two percent interest and the principal, she had no intention of paying it back. The money was already in her hands, so how could she pay it back?
The old lady waited and hoped day after day, while counting the days in her heart.
A few days later, Nier finally got news from Ghost Hand Li.
Upon learning that the stone tablet had been completed, he happily gave two candies to the child who brought the message.
Nier couldn't wait to tell her master the good news, and made an appointment with Ghost Hand Li on a date to go to the site where the monument was to be erected.
It's just a bit difficult - the place is quite far away.
Fortunately, the master got a carriage, which was a great help.
So, on a pitch-dark early morning, Nier, the Master and Ghost Hand Li took the carefully crafted tombstone and set out on a journey to the site where the tombstone would be erected.
Along the way, the carriage moved slowly forward, and the sound of the wheels rolling echoed on the silent road.
Due to the long journey, they did not arrive at their destination until nearly noon.
Nier got off the carriage and looked at the strange land in front of her, feeling filled with emotion.
After the monument was erected, the three of them set off on their journey home without stopping.
