start with a pet store

Chapter 1084: Mediocre people bother themselves
"His father came to our store last month and didn't tell us the reason. He just asked him to take a leave and go back with him. Erdong didn't want to go back, but he didn't want to be angry with his father, so he took a few days off and went back.

Then, it was not until a week later that he told me that his brother had lost a lot of money, and his sister-in-law wanted to divorce him, leaving the child unattended, so his father had no choice but to let him go back to see if he could help his brother.

He told me this after much consideration.

I don't know how to handle this matter. To be honest, if it's something else, I would lend him some money even if I have to. But since he lost in the gambling, the money will be a bottomless pit. Besides, I think this matter shouldn't put pressure on him, right?

I still asked him if he wanted to help his brother or what he wanted to do. If he decided to help, I could pay him two extra months' salary, but that was all I could do about it. I couldn't do anything more..." Xi Wenxin didn't know what to do. He still hadn't figured out what to do.

Pan Erdong is back now, but he hasn't had time to ask how his family managed it.

"At that time, Erdong said that he would not come back until the matter was resolved, and he did not want me to pay him more. He said he wanted to come back, and assured me that he would not bring the impact of this matter to the store.

To be honest, I know that what I said was a bit hurtful. After all, it was such a big thing and I didn't stand behind him to help him. Instead, it felt like I was the one cutting off his back when he was in trouble. However, I told him at the time that if he could handle it, he would be welcome back to the store at any time.

I don't know if this is the right thing to do." He had been struggling for a long time. It was not easy to talk to Lu Jingxing over the phone, but now they were face to face. After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

"This...what are you angry about? He is his brother and has little to do with him, let alone you." Lu Jingxing felt that Xi Wenxin seemed to be asking for trouble.

"You don't know..." Xi Wenxin said irritably.

"Hmm? Is there anything else I don't know..." Lu Jingxing came out after washing his hair, looking at Xi Wenxin who was lying on the sofa in a daze. He just couldn't figure out what he had to do with this.

"Um, Erdong's sister-in-law..." Xi Wenxin said hesitantly.

"Do you know his sister-in-law?" Lu Jingxing asked.

Xi Wenxin raised his head and looked at Lu Jingxing, his eyes slightly evasive.

This made Lu Jingxing a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"Oh..." Xi Wenxin said, "Do you think this world is really small? Guess who Erdong's sister-in-law is?"

"Who?" Lu Jingxing was a little confused: "Could it be your ex-girlfriend?"

"You're right..." Xi Wenxin screamed.

"Ah? It's really a coincidence that enemies meet on a narrow road. Didn't you say that she went abroad?" Lu Jingxing remembered what Xi Wenxin said to him.

"Yes, didn't I say that she sent me a message some time ago, saying that her husband was not good to her, but I ignored her. I heard that she divorced and returned to China not long after. I don't know how she got together with Brother Erdong again and got married. I found out about it by accident. Of course, Erdong didn't know that I knew his sister-in-law." Xi Wenxin said.

"This is too ridiculous..." Lu Jingxing didn't know how to describe it: "So, Erdong still doesn't know now?"

Xi Wenxin shook his head: "I don't know, so I hope he can handle it well and not bring this matter to the store, especially not let his sister-in-law come here. I don't want to be passively involved."

"It shouldn't be. You can go back and ask Erdong how to deal with it, so that he can have a better idea of ​​what's going on. But it may be difficult to completely sever the relationship between Erdong and his brother. After all, they are related by blood. But, as for you, I think it should have nothing to do with you." Lu Jingxing said.

"Do you know why I'm worried? Because when Erdong's father came to see him that day, his sister-in-law came with him. Erdong directly pulled them outside to talk and didn't come into the store. If they had entered the store, his sister-in-law would definitely know that I had a share in this store, and I..." Xi Wenxin still had some lingering fears.

"Do you still like her?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"How is that possible? That was so long ago, how could I still like her?" Xi Wenxin immediately argued.

"Then it's over. It's the same principle. A person of integrity has nothing to fear. She's already married for the second time, how can she still bother you? Besides, she was the one who wronged you in the beginning, not you who wronged her. If she really comes to you, she won't be able to stand her ground. Besides, it's the same here in Erdong. He works here, so it's not his brother's turn to come here to make trouble..." Lu Jingxing analyzed.

"I know that, but I just feel inexplicably irritated when encountering this kind of thing." Xi Wenxin shook his head in annoyance.

"Okay, you're just worrying about nothing. You weren't like this before. When did you become so indecisive?" Lu Jingxing knew that this was because he still hadn't let it go completely. There was nothing he could do. First love was always hard to let go.

Seeing Lu Jingxing yawning, Xi Wenxin didn't stay any longer and went home directly.

The next morning, he came again, this time to pick up Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling to have breakfast together.

Seeing his energetic appearance, Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling smiled at each other.

Lu Jingxing didn't tell Ji Ling about Xi Wenxin.

But this did not affect Ji Ling's good mood.

"Why are you being so polite? We can just have something simple for breakfast." Lu Jingxing said with a smile when he saw Xi Wenxin waiting for them in the hotel lobby.

"I deliberately didn't ask you to book a room with breakfast so that I could have breakfast with you in the morning. Well, it's still early, no rush, let's go..." Xi Wenxin led the way.

Several people went to have breakfast together. While Ji Ling was washing her hands, Xi Wenxin talked about what Erdong told him after he went back: "His brother ran away. No one knows where he went. The amount he owed was too large. With their family's savings, they definitely couldn't pay it back. His sister-in-law had already completed the divorce procedures with his brother before they came. His brother still had some conscience and wrote a statement to everyone, stating that all debts had nothing to do with the family. Although this statement was not very useful, it was better after all.

However, Erdong said that his family actually owns several houses. After discussion, they decided to sell some of the properties to help his brother pay off the debt. Now they have entrusted it to others. It is estimated that selling all of them should be able to pay off the debt. As for the future, he doesn't know what to do. This is all he can do.

As for his sister-in-law, since she knew that the houses were not under his brother's name when they got married, she didn't take more when they divorced. She just asked for one house and divided it...

The reason why she was divorced and came with his father to find him this time was purely because the creditors came after her. Although she was divorced, it was impossible for her to get rid of all the debts at once, so she had no choice but to follow his father to find him. The reason she wanted to find him back was because she wanted to sell those houses and she needed his consent to sign.

He is not married now and does not have a girlfriend. He had no intention of having those things in the first place, so he signed when he was asked to. He could not just ignore it. After all, he was his brother, and the house was bought by his father. He could not stop a father from saving his son.

But he also said that he would not care about it anymore and he didn't have the conditions to do so. Now there is only a small house left for his parents to live in, and the others are being dealt with... I didn't ask why they have so many houses. I was very curious why they had to work such a hard job outside with so many houses. However, he didn't say it, and I didn't ask at this juncture. This is probably the case. I hope his brother won't be a D again in the future. "Xi Wenxin said in a low voice, half lying on the table.

Lu Jingxing nodded. He somewhat understood Pan Erdong’s thoughts. If it were him, he might do the same.

After all, that was his father's property. He only had the right of inheritance and had no right to oppose his father's desire to save a son, even though that son seemed to be a prodigal.

He felt a little sorry for the boy. He could have lived a life of luxury, but because of a brother like this, he had to start everything over again.

As they were talking, Ji Ling came back: "What are you guys talking about? Now that we're done eating, should we go back to the store?"

"There's nothing to talk about. Let's go back to the store, or you can go shopping. We are all here today, so it should be fine. It's just that we don't have more time to accompany you." Xi Wenxin called the waiter to settle the bill, then said to the two of them with a smile.

"I don't need you to accompany me. Let's go back to the store first. I heard that the night market here is quite famous. We can go out for a walk in the evening..." Lu Jingxing stood up and said to Ji Ling with a smile.

Ji Ling nodded immediately: "I'm fine with anything. I'll listen to you."

So the three of them walked back to the store.

Everyone has arrived at the store and has started to get busy.

Xi Wenxin had surgery, so he went back to the store to take care of his own business.

Lu Jingxing didn't hang around the store yesterday, so he went to the backyard when he had nothing to do.

He had only turned around for a short while when Ji Ling came running to find him: "Go and take a look ahead..."

"What's wrong?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"There was a puppy, it was very dirty, and its owner brought it here to take a bath, but the store didn't want to accept it. You can go and have a look..." said Ji Ling.

The two of them came to the hall together and saw a number of people gathered in the middle of the hall, discussing something.

"This is not easy to do, it's all tangled, and..." Xi Wenxin was not there, and Pan Erdong didn't see anyone either. It was estimated that the two of them went into the operating room together.

Only Fang Guo was talking to his master, looking very embarrassed.

Lu Jing walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

Fang Guo immediately stood up and said, "Brother Lu, this customer wants to cut the hair of this little guy and give him a bath, but he is too dirty. Xiao Si, who is taking a bath today, is not here, so they can't wash him..."

"Please help me. The main thing is that we've gone to several places and none of them wanted to wash it. It's not that we don't want to wash it, but we just can't cut its hair. It's really pitiful. We lost it three years ago, and it found itself back. Now it's like this, I can't recognize it. If it weren't for the instructions and gestures it used to know, I really wouldn't be sure that this is my Xu Da Wang." The owner was a woman in her twenties with dreadlocks on her head. At first glance, her hairstyle was surprisingly consistent with the Xu Da Wang she described, except that she wore some hair accessories, while Xu Da Wang was dressed in black, and his original color could no longer be seen.

Xu Dawang looked at the people surrounding him with an innocent face, his eyes revealing a kind of pity.

The woman squatted down and said, "Xu Dawang, if they can't pick you up, what are we going to do? I can't take you back like this, and you can only continue to wander."

"You know that it is your Xu Dawang, but you still let it wander?" Ji Ling asked in disbelief.

"It doesn't look like Xu Dawang at all. Besides, how can I take it back like this? You can't blame me." The girl with dreadlocks said it with confidence.

"You..." Ji Ling was so angry that he almost burst into cursing.

Lu Jingxing immediately pulled her. There was no need to get angry over such a person. Why not just be Tony's teacher again? He could do it. As long as the money was right, there was no job he couldn't do.

"Five hundred, I'll cut its hair... washing it is extra..." Lu Jingxing said.

"Deal..." the girl with dreadlocks immediately responded, "Money is not a problem, as long as you clean it. It's not that I don't want it, it ran away on its own, and I've been looking for it for several days. It's just that it's too dirty now, I can't take it back, and I really can't cut its hair myself..." the girl explained.

Hearing her say this, Ji Ling's anger subsided a lot: "Let me help you..." she said with a pout.

Lu Jingxing laughed and said, "Okay, then you can just go to the front desk to pay the fee, and we will take care of Xu Dawang."

The employee immediately took the rope from the girl and took the little one to the beauty salon.

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling also changed their clothes and walked over.

"How about I do it? I don't want you to do it yourself..." The person who spoke was a new employee who had just arrived. He was usually responsible for bathing the dogs and was not responsible for their grooming.

The beauty staff has taken leave today, so no one will do the beauty treatment.

"It's okay, just go do your own thing and leave it to me." Lu Jingxing knew that everyone in the store was very busy and jobs like bathing and beauty treatments were only accepted by appointment.

Because of this, the beauty staff took leave today and the store did not arrange any beauty work.

If he asked the shower staff to do this, the shower work over there would have to be postponed, and everything would be a mess again.

Besides, he felt that Xu Dawang would not be able to handle this new employee with his messy black hair. Otherwise, Fang Guo wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation just now.
