Chapter 23 My family is not short of money

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when we left Bohai Book City.

Wang Lanlan decided to go home. Before leaving, she said: "Liu Xing, you are my book fan. Today is the first time we meet. Do you need me to sign your name?"

"..." Liu Xing was a little speechless, this little girl really regarded herself as a writer.

"No, your signature can't be eaten."

"Ok."

With a wave of his little hand, he hurried away.

Looking at Wang Lanlan's leaving figure, Liu Shiming said with emotion: "This Wang Lanlan is really strange. A little girl who writes mystery novels dares to come out to play stalking at night, she is really brave enough!"

Liu Xing agreed deeply: "This kind of girl is indeed a terrible creature, they can do anything."

Liu Shiming smiled, and looked at the time: "Ah Xing, let's go home, lest parents worry."

……

On the way home, Liu Xing always felt that someone was following him again, and he wondered if Wang Lanlan was following him secretly again.This little girl is eccentric by nature, and it is not impossible that she can do anything.

But when Liu Xing looked back several times, he didn't find any figure.

After more than ten minutes, I finally returned to Mingxing Hotel smoothly.

The siblings walked into the restaurant and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the living room, with a fat figure and a gold chain as thick as a little finger hanging around his neck. It was Cai Zhijian's father, Cai Fugui.

At this time, Cai Fugui and Father Liu were sitting around a dining table, discussing the transfer of the hotel.

Father Liu had already decided to transfer the store today and posted a notice at the entrance of the restaurant, but no one came to discuss the transfer of the store all afternoon.It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that Cai Fugui suddenly visited and said that he wanted to buy Mingxing Hotel.

"Old Liu, the transfer fee of 10 yuan is not low." Cai Fugui said bluntly, "You know the business of this restaurant best, and there is no traffic at all in this area. If your daughter and my son are college classmates, I wouldn't even 10 yuan will not be paid."

After finishing speaking, he put a hotel transfer contract in front of Liu's father. Cai Fugui said condescendingly, "Sign your name. After signing, I will call you the money immediately, and your family will have money." The meal is eaten. We are all old neighbors, and I will help as much as I can."

While talking, Cai Fugui handed over another pen.

Liu's father still thinks that the transfer fee of 10 yuan is too low, it should be at least 15 yuan, but this month's rent will not be paid, and there is not much time to delay.

To sign or not to sign, Father Liu is in a dilemma.

Cai Fugui lost his patience, and asked instead: "Old Liu, you can't let your family accompany you to drink northwest wind, can you? If you are a man, you should simply order it, don't be a mother-in-law, sign the contract quickly."

After finishing speaking, he directly stuffed the pen into Liu's father's hand, and then persuaded him a few more words, implying that I am helping you.

After a while of hesitation, Father Liu seemed to have made a decision. His skinny old hand trembled slightly, and he held the pen, ready to sign the contract.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out, grabbed Father Liu's hand, and stopped it in time.

"Boss Cai, I'm sorry, we will not transfer this hotel." Liu Xing stepped forward and clearly refused.

Gazing at Liu Xing contemptuously, Cai Fugui asked coldly, "When is it your turn to speak here?"

Liu Xing looked calm: "Our country's constitution clearly stipulates that all citizens of Huaxia enjoy freedom of speech, and I can speak as I want. This is my home, and I can sing as much as I want."

Cai Fugui's face changed, and he asked Liu's father: "Old Liu, how do you educate your children, do you talk to elders like this?"

Before Liu's father opened his mouth, Liu Shiming answered first: "Boss Cai, Ah Xing is not wrong. Our restaurant will be run by ourselves and will not be transferred for the time being. I'm sorry to make you come here for nothing. You can take the transfer contract back, we won’t sign it.”

Hearing this, Cai Fugui felt a little anxious. He had always wanted to open another chain bookstore, but it was hard to find a store on Novels Street.It just so happened that Mingxing Hotel was about to be transferred, so Cai Fugui naturally wanted to take over.

Cai Fugui had already figured out the financial situation of the Liu family. He knew that the Liu family was short of money. He wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob him. Tonight, he was sure of Liu's father. Seeing that the matter was about to be completed, Liu Xing and Liu Shiming suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation. .

Cai Fugui didn't want to watch the cooked duck fly away, so he let go and said, "Old Liu, if you think 10 is too low, the price can be negotiated..."

"No need, it's not about money. My family is not short of money." Liu Xing interrupted. After speaking, he grabbed Father Liu's arm with both hands, pulled him up from his seat, and walked towards the second floor, saying as he walked , "Dad, I bought you a new pair of shoes, go upstairs and try your feet."

"Why did you buy me shoes?"

"Isn't it right to honor you? By the way, what size are your feet?"

"42 yards."

"I bought a size 43 shoe, should I be able to wear it? Try it first, if it doesn't work, buy a new pair tomorrow."

……

Liu's father didn't know what happened, so Liu Xingqiang pulled him up to the second floor for no reason.The reason why Liu Xing took his father away was mainly because he was worried that his father would really sign the transfer contract of the hotel.

After Father Liu went upstairs, only Liu Shiming and Cai Fugui were left in the lobby on the first floor.

When the incident happened suddenly, Cai Fugui was a little confused. Looking at the empty hall, he asked Liu Shiming for a moment, "Is your hotel transferable or not?"

Liu Shiming said affirmatively: "I'm sorry, I made you come here for nothing."

"If you don't transfer the storefront, why post a transfer notice at the door!"

Cai Fugui twisted tightly, anger welling up in his heart, originally thought that he would return home with a rewarding experience tonight, but unexpectedly he returned empty-handed.There was almost no one in the hall now, so it was meaningless for him to stay here, so he snorted coldly and left quickly.

Liu Shiming breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she went home in time tonight, if it was a little later, the store might really have fallen into Cai Fugui's hands.

……

The second floor of the hotel, the living room.

"A Xing, why don't you let me transfer the store?" Liu's father asked suspiciously, and Liu's mother beside him didn't understand Liu Xing's behavior at all.

"Dad, the rent of the hotel has been settled." Liu Xing explained, "I took a novel called "Book Tomb Notes" to the Book Inspection Center this afternoon, and it was appraised as a two-star novel, earning 10 yuan. "

"10?"

Liu's father and Liu's mother looked at each other in dismay. There was no joyful expression on the faces of the two old people, but an ominous premonition.Liu Xing just came out of the psychiatric hospital two days ago, and now he suddenly said that he made 10 yuan by selling a novel, which inevitably makes people have some natural associations.

After walking over, Mother Liu gently touched Liu Xing's forehead with her hand, and asked with concern: "Ah Xing, do you feel any discomfort?"

Realizing that the words were wrong, Liu Xing said: "Mom, you don't think my illness has relapsed, do you? I'm not ill, and what I said is true."

Liu's father and Liu's mother did not believe it, because the more sick a person is, the more he will emphasize that he is not sick.

"Old Liu, why don't you call Dr. Yi?" Liu's mother whispered to Liu's father. Liu's father nodded, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to call Yi Jingen, the chief doctor of the psychiatric hospital.

Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that no matter how much he explained, it was useless, so he could only call for rescuers, and shouted to the first floor: "Sister, go upstairs!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Shiming ran up from the first floor: "What's wrong?"

Liu Xing explained: "I said "Book Tomb Notes" sold for 10 yuan, but my parents didn't believe me, and I'm calling Dr. Yi at the psychiatric hospital..."

Seeing Liu Xing's aggrieved face, and seeing the scene where her parents were anxiously calling, Liu Shiming couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling. She actually understood her parents' behavior quite well, and she herself did such stupid things in the afternoon.

Walking to his parents, Liu Shiming smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, Ah Xing is fine. His "Book Tomb Notes" really made 10 yuan, and the money is already in my card..."

……

at the same time.

There are two trees planted at the entrance of Mingxing Hotel, one is a longan tree and the other is also a longan tree.The two longan trees were planted in the year Liu Xing was born. It has been 18 years and they are full of luxuriant foliage and vitality.

At this time, under the longan tree on the left, there is a petite figure with a peaked cap on his head, hiding behind the tree furtively.

"So Liu Xing lives here!"

Wang Lanlan turned her big eyes, looked at the big tree in front of her, with a sly expression on her childish face, as if she had some bad idea, "Just do it like this, hee hee!"

After finishing speaking, he ran away in a hurry...
