Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

"If it's not enough, you should find a way. Are you counting all this time just to make others laugh at me?"

Du Wendong drank a lot of wine and was less polite than usual when speaking, starting to speak harshly.

Seeing Zhang Cuifen's obvious shock, he relaxed, tugged at her arm with embarrassment, and spoke in a calmer tone, "Mom, you can't count the money here any more, so why don't you go borrow some from those aunts? I'll pay them back as soon as I get the money from you! We borrow and repay, and our Du family doesn't do such wicked things as refusing to pay back."

"Wendong, it's not that I don't want to lend you money. I'm just afraid they won't lend it to me." Zhang Cuifen lowered her head.

"But staying here is not a solution!"

Du Wendong leaned over and whispered, his tone both soft and hard, tinged with a hint of threat, "None of these big restaurants are easy to mess with! Mother, I want you to be a senior official in the future. You know, the most important thing for an official is reputation... Mother, I'm just starting out, and I have to take the exam for the scholar next year."

Zhang Cuifen clutched the money in her hand, gritted her teeth, nodded, and said, "Okay, mother will go!"

Just get the silver from Lu and return it immediately!

But she didn't know how many years it had been since she had asked for a loan. She had thought of all the words in her mind and stood there mentally prepared before she forced a smile and walked towards the table step by step.

The heartless Lu, relying on the little money her parents earned, has always been against her. Now her temper is also unbearable. Is she trying to make trouble?!

Today's incident must have been a deliberate plot against her. What kind of honest and virtuous woman is this? Bah!

After borrowing money from around, she handed the collected silver and money to the restaurant, but it was still a lot short... Zhang Cuifen had no choice but to hand over Du Xiaowan's valuable silver hairpin, as well as her own and Qingyun's valuable items to the restaurant, and only then did the door of the box open for them.

Come to think of it, this was the meeting gift she asked Lu to make up for several years after they got married. She loved that patterned bracelet the most... She had to ask Lu to make up for it!

The butler collected all the money, put on a service-like smile on his face, and led a group of servants out of the box. The remaining friends in the academy also held their stomachs and left with smiles and conversation.

The sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer. The person who ran in leaned against the door, holding his chest to breathe, and reached out to knock on the door twice.

"Who is it? Didn't you pay enough? What's the matter? Are you short of one or two cents? Oh my, can you restaurant owners be more generous? You won't even give a discount for one or two taels of silver. Who will eat at your restaurant next time? You're going to close down sooner or later if you keep running a business like this!"

Zhang Cuifen, who was coaxing Du Qingyun with her back to the door, started to pay without even turning her head when she heard the voice. She was already upset because she had lost a large sum of money!

Anyway, next time, either someone else will invite her, otherwise, she will not set foot in this auspicious building!

"Aunt Zhang, it's me, my mother... My mother asked me to tell you that you should go home quickly after you finish your work here. There is something important!" The girl with pigtails took a breath, and her eyes were shining as she spoke.

"You and your mother always like to watch the fun. You always want to know what happens in other people's homes. This time you even came to my house. You are really worried. My family is fine, what could happen?" Du Xiaowan saw that it was her, and the corners of her mouth obviously turned down.

The girl with pigtails didn't care at all. She waved her hands and turned to Zhang Cuifen excitedly, "Aunt Zhang, please go home. My mother wouldn't have made me come here for nothing if it wasn't a big deal."

This makes sense. Zhang Cuifen nodded and said:

"I'll take Qingyun and Xiaowan home first. Wendong, you should sit for a while and go back early. Don't be too late, don't let mother worry."

The tone was a little stiff, "Anyuan, stay with your father and don't let him wander around outside."
