Chapter 1409 Zhou Mingbao’s trouble
But-
Although Mr. Mu will not talk about this matter everywhere, even if others ask him, he will just talk about it with a few vague words,
Zhou Mingbao's reputation is still bad in the hearts of his neighbors.
In their view, Zhou Mingbao was a bit too profit-seeking.
There is no problem if you like money.
Everyone likes money.
This is nothing to be ashamed of.
However, a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely.
There are certain lines that cannot be crossed.
Moreover, Zhou Mingbao's behavior not only defrauded money, but also trampled on the feelings of the elders who cared about him.
It makes people feel uncomfortable.
You know, among the gifts Zhou Mingbao received at his birthday party, apart from the gifts given by the Zhou family, the most precious, thoughtful and painstaking gift was Mu Lao's gift.
This should have been a well-kept gift.
But it turned out that within a few days of sending this gift, it changed its owner.
It almost caused big trouble to the person who gave the gift.
Everyone around who heard about this couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
What is this thing called?
……
"You also know that because of this matter, your Grandpa Mu and Grandma Tan are a little indifferent not only to Xiao Zhou, but also to the entire Zhou family."
"Xiao Zhou is a little spoiled by Lao Zhou. Who knows what he will do next?"
"Nothing comes of it."
Grandpa Xiao sighed.
"Grandpa Zhou came to see me because he heard about Mu Tansong?"
Xiao Xiao thought of what his grandfather had said before, "In other words... Zhou Mingbao owes someone money?"
"He deserves it."
Grandpa Xiao sneered.
"Xiaomu is stupid and was tricked by others."
"Of course, if he hadn't been lucky and hadn't written an IOU in advance, people wouldn't have succeeded in trapping him."
Although Grandpa Xiao is old, his mind is not confused at all, "But in general, this kid Xiaomu has small thoughts, but he has no bad intentions."
"But Xiao Zhou is different."
Grandpa Xiao couldn't help but sneer, "He is setting a trap for others."
"In the end, stealing the chicken ended up losing the rice. Instead, I got myself into big trouble."
"What's going on?"
Xiao Xiao asked in time.
"Old Zhou has come to my door to ask for help, and I know it is definitely not a trivial matter."
Grandpa Xiao sighed, "After all, I'm asking for your help, and it's not easy for your parents and I to agree randomly."
"What if I get you into trouble?"
"We also asked him what was going on?"
"Lao Zhou insisted on waiting until you come back."
"Aren't we even more worried about his behavior?"
Grandpa Xiao shook his head.
What if a simple matter could be kept so secretive?
"Finally, when he saw that the atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked, he said that he wanted to come to you for help because he heard about Mu Tansong."
"This old wood."
Speaking of this, Grandpa Xiao couldn't help but complain a little.
"Not many people know about Xiaomu, only a few of the Mu family are with you."
"Old Zhou certainly couldn't have known it from you."
"The only possibility is that we know it from the Mu family."
“I don’t know which of them told Lao Zhou.”
"But that's not important anymore."
"Old Zhou knows everything."
“People are also coming to our door.”
……
"Since he didn't want to give details, we asked someone to find out."
"After your Grandpa Mu and the others found out about this, they also helped us inquire about it."
"They are also a little embarrassed."
"But they don't know how Lao Zhou knew about Xiaomu."
"After all, they haven't had much contact with the Zhou family since that incident."...
"Next time I see Lao Zhou, ask him how he knows."
Grandpa Xiao murmured, "I subconsciously thought it was the Mu family who leaked the news."
"But judging from their reactions, it seems not?"
……
"In short, hard work pays off,"
"We finally found out what Lao Zhou was hiding from us."
"That kid really hasn't made any progress at all."
Grandpa Xiao cursed angrily, paused, and then slowly told what he heard.
……
What Zhou Mingbao did this time was similar to what he did many years ago.
No wonder Grandpa Xiao scolded him for not making progress.
Only this time, he hit an iron plate.
"Do you really think anyone can talk to Lao Mumu and that buyer?"
Grandpa Xiao shook his head.
……
Mu Lao was indifferent to the Zhou family, and looked at Zhou Mingbao as no more than an ordinary passerby.
Rather than the children I have seen since childhood.
However, Zhou Mingbao kept approaching Mu Lao.
He also discovered the value of Mu Lao's works.
I am deeply saddened by Mu Lao's behavior of underestimating the value of his works.
However, no matter how extravagant his talk was, Mu Lao remained unmoved.
He could only give up.
Because Zhou Mingbao no longer comes to Gumuxuan, the connection between the Mu family and the Zhou family is almost severed.
After all, both stores are open, so there is not much time to rush around.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Mingbao later came up with the idea of wood carving.
He asked his friends to help him and ordered a wooden carved screen from Mulao.
The pattern on it is of a tiger descending from the mountain.
After Zhou Mingbao got the finished product from his friend, he felt that the tiger was lifelike, majestic and domineering, and he felt extremely satisfied.
He knew that buyers of this wood carving would absolutely love it.
really.
After the other party saw the wood-carved screen, he didn't even make a counter-offer and just asked for the wood-carved screen.
Zhou Mingbao even regretted the low price.
But now Zhou Mingbao only feels that he was really blinded by lard at that time. Why did he quote such a high price?
What works by a master from the Qing Dynasty?
If others don't know, how can he not know what's going on?
How could he have the nerve to ask for so much money from the other party?
Well now, retribution has come.
What should he do?
"It is said that Xiao Zhou was beaten severely."
"It's just skin injuries, no injuries to muscles or bones."
"My whole body hurts so much."
"But the other party said that this time is just a small lesson."
"He gave Xiao Zhou two choices."
"How about paying him three times the price of the wooden screen he bought at the time."
"How about Xiao Zhou asking him to break his legs and stay in the hospital for a few months."
Speaking of this, Grandpa Xiao was a little sad.
"Xiao Zhou is also unlucky."
"The person who bought his wooden screen this time is a powerful guy."
"It seems that he runs a debt collection agency and has many people under him."
"The methods are also a bit messy."
"Old Zhou is also anxious."
"The other party only gave Xiao Zhou one week to think about it."
"He said that if Xiao Zhou still can't pay when the time comes, he will be asked to stay in the hospital for a while."
"At what price did Zhou Mingbao sell the screen to the other party?"
Xiao Xiao asked.
ps: Thank you Xiaotransparent for the reward (*︶*)!
