Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 2507

Xue Ling was slightly stunned and asked, "Who is it? Why didn't you invite me in to drink tea with you?"

Wang Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed and whispered: "It's Master Li's family... They said they want to see you and they have something very important to discuss."

Lao Li's family members came over from time to time, which made her a little frightened.

Today they called her by name and said they wanted to find her mother-in-law, and angrily said they wanted to ask her in person.

"Mom, their attitude is a bit aggressive, you have to be careful for a while."

Xue Ling nodded lightly: "It's okay, I'll go out and take a look."

Wang Xiaoxiao whispered: "Mom, then I will take the child."

"Go." Xue Ling nodded, turned around and smiled at Zheng Xiaoyi: "You go in to drink tea first, and we will watch the fireworks together later."

Zheng Xiaoyi answered well and said in a gentle voice: "Go and get busy. I'll go look for eldest brother and Xiaohan."

"See you later." Xue Ling hurriedly walked to the entrance, took out a thin coat and put it on.

The bodyguard on duty stepped forward and explained: "Madam, the other party seems to be in a bad mood, so we refused to let them in."

"How many people?" Xue Ling asked doubtfully, "Did you tell me what you wanted to do with me?"

"No." The bodyguard explained: "They explained again and again that they were Master Li's family members, saying that they had very important things to discuss with you, and that they had to meet in person. There were three of them, and they were Master Li's family members. The master’s son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.”

"Okay." Xue Ling said, "Then take them into the security room to chat."

The bodyguard nodded and followed.

After a while, the three people waiting outside the gate were invited into the security room.

Xue Ling smiled and said "Happy New Year".

Master Li's son is over 50 years old. He has gray hair, small eyes and a big mouth. He is not tall, but very fat, and has an almost round shape.

Xue Ling remembered that he had been fat before, but not as exaggeratedly as before. Seeing that his movements when sitting down just now were clumsy and unsmooth, he guessed that it was probably because he was too fat.

He put on a flattering smile, and his fat face trembled.

"Madam, I...my name is Li Qiangjun. I have met you, several times before."

Xue Ling smiled and nodded: "I remember. Your wife's name is Xu Jiao. I once introduced her to Lao Wan's house to help, and we meet from time to time. Is this your son?"

"Yes, yes!" Xu Jiao quickly took her son's arm and introduced with a smile: "His name is Li Siyuan! He is the eldest grandson of the old man!"

Li Siyuan laughed awkwardly and said hello politely.

Xue Ling motioned to the bodyguard beside him to get some fruits, and then apologized: "It's a pity that your family can't get together during the Chinese New Year. The domestic epidemic control is relatively strict, and Master Li could have come back to celebrate the New Year, but he wanted to He was not happy to have to be quarantined for two or three weeks, and said he would stay temporarily and come back when the epidemic is over." "No way!" Xu Jiao frowned and said, "I don't know when this epidemic will end... Why wait? It’s true that the old man has been gone for such a long time and he won’t come back for the Chinese New Year. Our whole family is waiting for him to come back for the Chinese New Year. We are all waiting eagerly, but who knows that he is not coming back? What about the plane? The ticket is expensive, and you have to pay for the quarantine at your own expense. In fact, if he can come back, we won’t be short of the money, right?"

"You know nothing!" Li Qiangjun rolled his eyes at her and explained: "Quarantine hotels are not cheap! It's the Spring Festival now, and everywhere is extremely expensive. The cost of hotel quarantine is very high, a few hundred a day, a day. There’s still 100 yuan for food!”

Xu Jiao calculated with her fingers and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Um... if you stay there for more than 20 days, it will cost tens of thousands!"

Xue Ling smiled and nodded: "Master Li probably considered that the air tickets were too expensive and the cost of quarantine was also high, so he was reluctant to come back to celebrate the New Year."

"How much does that air ticket cost?" Li Qiangjun asked curiously.

Xue Ling thought for a while and replied: "A trip usually costs tens of thousands, but it may be even higher during the Spring Festival."

The three of them were stunned when they heard the price.

Xu Jiao rolled her eyes and smiled flatteringly.

"Um...ma'am, you brought the old man here. His return expenses...should be reimbursed, right? Can you?"

Xue Ling nodded: "Yes. It was a private plane when it flew there, so there was no need to reimburse it. I told Master Li a few days ago that if he wanted to come back, the air ticket would be reimbursed for him. But he still didn't want to come back. He said the environment there is good and the work is not busy, so he plans to stay."

"If you don't come back, I won't come back. Let the old man make his own decision." Xu Jiao curled her lips and looked slightly dissatisfied: "But he hasn't come back with his salary for more than half a year. Madam, we came here to ask you in person. …Is it because our old man didn’t come back, so you haven’t settled his salary?”

That's what it's for.

Xue Ling listened calmly and shook his head with a smile: "No, Xinyuan's staff are paid monthly, usually on the first of every month. Because cross-border remittances are troublesome, the old man is paid in cash."

She usually pays the wages of workers in Xinyuan.Back in China, I could easily send it out in just a few clicks.

She does not have a bank account in Wenguo, and the local government is very cautious about capital flow control, so she cannot remit money there.

Fortunately, I brought some local cash with me before, so I was able to cope with it.

"Every month?" Xu Jiao asked doubtfully, "He said he couldn't bring it back...is it true or false?"

"Really." Xue Ling explained: "The remittance and collection methods there are not as convenient as in our country. WeChat and Alipay are just a click away. In addition, we live far away from the bank, and it is time-consuming to go there. Master Li doesn't understand the local language or the writing there, so it's very inconvenient to go to the bank. He doesn't go out much, he stays in the community, and most of his salary has been saved."

"What are you saving for?" Xu Jiao said angrily: "My family is anxiously waiting for his money to pay off the mortgage! If I hadn't used the money to advance this time, I might have cut off the payment. Madam, you should know that the payment will be cut off. It's a serious matter, right? We are just ordinary people, we can't stand being scared! The old man said at the beginning that he would help his grandson pay off the mortgage. But who would have expected that he would suddenly go abroad by you, and it would take so long? If you don’t come back, your family will soon be cut off!”

"I know." Xue Ling asked with a smile: "I wonder if you have asked Old Master Li? Can you contact him?"

"It's not possible." Li Qiangjun shook his head: "The signal is not very good, and I can't hear clearly what I'm saying. It's intermittent, and I have a mute voice from time to time, which sounds weird. My dad told me to save it and wait for him to get it. Come back. But our side... we really can’t hold on any longer!"

"That's it!" Xu Jiao explained gloomily: "You have to pay it again next! When the time comes every month, the bank will deduct the money from the card, but if you don't pay it, there will be no deductions!"
