Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Xu Shengcai Wants to Go Abroad

Xu Shengcai hung up the phone still full-faced with suspicion, "Why would my younger sister ask Madam Liu to borrow money from her?"

Right after he hung up the phone, Xu Shengcai remembered something important he hadn’t mentioned, and immediately redialed Xu Ying, "Big brother, is there anything else?"

"Little sister, I think we can develop the houses where Sister Qiu Ye lives. Not only are these houses dilapidated and old, but the road access is also terrible. It’s troublesome even for a car to pass," Xu Shengcai rambled on.

Xu Ying was somewhat surprised, "Big brother, you really have a knack for this, discovering such opportunities. Not bad, not bad."

Xu Shengcai suddenly became modest, "It’s not me boasting, little sister. I think I’ve got a business mind too. Although I can’t compare to you and your husband, I’m not bad myself."

"Big brother, I still think you and Sister Qiu Ye are more suited to be teachers," Xu Ying said helplessly. "Do you know why I told you to ask Madam Liu to talk to me about borrowing money?"

Xu Shengcai honestly didn’t know.

"It’s because Brother Shengshun contacted me to propose a partnership. He said that although our Yu County’s economy is growing, it still needs more innovation. Moreover, the living conditions of our people in Yu County are quite poor.

If we make good use of them and develop the area where Sister Qiu Ye and they live into a commercial district, and with the tourists attracted by our rural tourism, it could become a thriving area..." Xu Ying went on to explain to Xu Shengcai one by one.

After hearing Xu Ying’s words, Xu Shengcai finally settled his mind. It turned out that what he had discovered had already been spotted by others.

Xu Shengcai couldn’t help feeling a bit dejected.

Seeing that the other end had gone quiet, Xu Ying knew that her big brother was feeling lost in life now.

The eldest brother’s vegetable greenhouse business was getting better and better, the third brother had been doing business with her husband for a long time, and only the second brother had been a teacher before, and now that he had gone to university, his future direction was unclear.

"Big brother, have you ever considered going abroad with Sister Qiu Ye to continue your studies?"

Xu Shengcai’s eyes brightened at these words, but they dimmed quickly, "Forget it, I heard that the procedures for going abroad are difficult.

Without connections, it’s impossible, and going abroad costs quite a lot of money. Although I had saved some before, I’ve almost spent it all."

"Big brother, have you forgotten something? Right before the final stage of our rural tourism construction, when funds were short, you, along with our eldest brother and our parents, supported me!

I kept my word back then, saying that it was an investment in shares. Well, that’s what it was—an investment in shares. But big brother, you didn’t invest much, so the shares you received weren’t as much as Dad’s.

You don’t have to worry about the procedures for going abroad. I have Mr. Anthony and the leaders in Shanghai. As long as you and Sister Qiu Ye want to go, I can help you with the paperwork."

Xu Shengcai turned and looked at his wife, face full of anticipation. Xu Qiuye naturally also wanted to go, to chase after more knowledge, but what troubled them now was what to do with the child.

"What if I have a child, and we both go to study? Who will take care of the child? Otherwise, you go by yourself, and I’ll stay at home to take care of the child."

"The child can be left with our parents. As long as you are willing, with so many of us, surely we can take good care of one child," Xu Ying directly said.

Hearing this, Xu Qiuyue’s face showed a burst of happiness, but when she thought about the child being born without the accompaniment of his parents, her face dimmed again, "Thank you, little sister.

But I’ll discuss it with your big brother again, I can’t bear the thought of the child being without his parents right after being born."

Xu Ying nodded; she had understood a mother’s feelings toward her child only after having one herself—it’s indeed hard to part.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Shengcai went straight to Madam Liu with Xu Qiuyue and relayed Xu Ying’s words.

Hearing what Xu Shengcai said, Madam Liu was full of suspicion, "Is this your idea or your little sister’s idea?"

"My little sister!"

Madam Liu sent Xu Shengcai away and sneered coldly, "Is this a threat to me? I still won’t ask her to borrow money."

Madam Liu’s eldest son was full of curiosity, "Mom, what’s going on? Why would that girl be so kind as to lend us money?"

"It’s not about being kind, she just wants to help negotiate, you see. They are planning to redevelop our place, and if they do, we’ll have to move out.

I don’t want to move: I’ve lived here my whole life. This is our family’s root, and I will not leave," Madam Liu huffed and puffed.

"So that’s how it is," Eldest Son Liu nodded as he spoke.

However, Eldest Son Liu’s wife, full of suspicion, interjected, "Mom, I’ve heard from people outside that if our house is redeveloped, the authorities will compensate us with a new one.

When that happens, we’ll even get an apartment, and a bigger one at that, I hear there’s even a private bathroom. It seems like a pretty good deal."

Hearing this, Madam Liu snorted through her nose, "So what? Do you realize that by developing this house, it’s the developers who will make money?

They give us this little thing and think they can buy us off? You must be dreaming. One house is not enough. There are so many of us in the family, we need at least two.

Anyway, I won’t agree to move."

When Eldest Son Liu’s wife heard her mother-in-law say this, her eyes instantly sparkled with excitement.

Indeed, if they could get two houses, her son wouldn’t have to worry about finding a place when he gets married.

She looked at her mother-in-law with a face full of flattery, "Mom, I support your idea."

Madam Liu immediately smiled smugly, basking in her own pride.

The very next second, Chen Shaowen barged in with a few brothers, his face seething with anger as he confronted Madam Liu, "You old hag, you beat up my wife, and she’s still unconscious.

Now I’m giving you two choices: either pay up, or I’ll go to the public security bureau and have you arrested."

Madam Liu frowned, of course preferring to pay.

"How much do you want? Your wife hit me too, don’t forget about that. You’ll have to compensate me for my mental distress too."

"The people in the courtyard saw everything crystal clear. My wife lunged at you, sure, but you were the one who hit first!" Chen Shaowen fumed.

Hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed Madam Liu’s face, but she lifted her head and said, "Just say how much you want, and cut the nonsense."

"Two thousand yuan, not a cent less."

"That is just highway robbery," Madam Liu exclaimed, nearly tumbling off her chair in shock. Struggling to maintain composure, her voice trembling, she argued, "Two thousand yuan, you might as well turn this old lady in to the public security bureau.

If our family can save a hundred yuan a month, that’s pretty good already. How many years would it take us to save two thousand?"

Seeing Madam Liu’s reaction, Chen Shaowen wasted no more words. He knew Madam Liu feared death, and he motioned to the brothers he had brought along, "Since this old hag wants to go to jail, bring her in.

And don’t let these other people go either, they laid their hands on my wife too. Take them all in."

"Mom, we don’t want to go to jail," Eldest Son Liu’s wife cried out in terror as the men approached.

Madam Liu herself was startled, not expecting Chen Shaowen to be serious.

Not giving her an inch to bargain.

"Mr. Sun, the amount is really too much. If it were a little less, we could surely pay," Madam Liu’s mouth moved uncertainly as she finally came up with this term of address.
