Rebirth of Prosperous Officials and Merchants

Seeing that Cao Hongye shook his head slightly, Lin Xi showed a smirk at the corner of his mouth, and then coughed heavily, which meant to remind Cao Hongye that it was time to fulfill his promise.

"Then what, boss, it's getting late. Let's go in quickly. If we don't go in, we'll be late in a while." Cao Hongye handed over the 100 yuan to Lin Xi while saying this. .

Lin Xi could see that if he didn't speak clearly, this guy would continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

After making up his mind, he said, "I don't want the money, you can just give it to Chunsong, but it's time for us to understand the matter between the two of us."

"The matter between us? We are good brothers, what can we do!" Cao Hongye said with a deadpan face, "By the way, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go over quickly and give the money to Chunsong so that he can put it away." .”

After saying this, Cao Hongye was ready to turn around and leave.Seeing this situation, Lin Xi would not let him get away so easily, reached out and grabbed his skirt, and gave him a smirk twice.

Seeing this situation, Cao Hongye became a little uneasy, and quickly said: "I said brother, you have something to say, don't do it, what, a gentleman will not use his hands!"

Cao Hongye can be domineering in front of other people, but he dare not in front of Lin Xi. The reason is very simple. Since childhood, the two have fought hundreds of fights, and Cao Dashao has not won a single victory. Next, if you still fight with your opponent, wouldn't you be looking for abuse yourself?

In the first and second years of high school, Lin Xi was very low-key, but Cao Hongye was very public. Even in the face of Huang Boju, Zhang Hongtao, and Xu Mao, who are known as the top three in the middle school.

If it was at that time, when facing Lin Xi, he still had a little bit of confidence, but in the third year of high school, someone seemed to have taken a stimulant. As a result, Cao Hongye dared not provoke him easily.

"Brother has never been a gentleman, you know that." Lin Xi looked at Cao Hongye and said in a low voice, "If I don't think of this idea, will you ask me to pay 3000 yuan?"

"Then..." Just after he said two words, Cao Hongye realized that something was wrong. Now that Lin Xi has done it, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for him to bring this up again?

After thinking about this, Cao Hongye quickly changed his words: "How is that possible? Between us brothers, how can we be so serious? It's just talk."

Lin Xi saw Cao Hongye's performance in his eyes, and he was very happy.Ever since he was a child, it was rare to see this guy deflated. Even the last time he was drunk and fucked Zhou Jiani, he was never so embarrassed. This time, of course, Lin Xi will not let go of this rare opportunity.

"Okay, think whatever you want, you counted the money just now, is it easy to cash in our bet before?" Lin Xi asked Cao Hongye.

"Brother, didn't I just say that, it was just casually, do you take it seriously?"

After Lin Xi heard this, he pretended to be serious and said: "I take it seriously, pearls are not so real. In addition, let's put aside whether a gentleman is not a gentleman, and a man must keep his word and believe it. You won't miss that." heard about it?"

When Lin Xi said this, he looked at Cao Hongye proudly. He couldn't believe it to this extent, what else could someone say, and he really wanted to open his eyes.

"Lin Xi, what, it's not that I don't want to call you Lord, the key is that I'm afraid that you will be beaten when you go home." Cao Hongye said solemnly.

"Cao Hongye, you think I'm a three-year-old kid, you call me daddy, I'll be beaten when I go home, I really want to believe you, the key is how should I believe it, there's a lot of wind and horse between these two things It doesn't match!" Lin Xi said angrily.

Lin Xi didn't really have the idea of ​​asking Cao Hongye to call him a master, but now seeing that this guy is unreasonable, he actually disturbed him a little bit. Now he is really considering whether to change his original intention.

After listening to Lin Xi's words, Cao Hongye was not in a hurry, and said unhurriedly: "Lin Xi, think about it, if I call you Lord, then you will be with my old man for the rest of my life, and my old man and you will be together forever." I belong to the same generation, if that's the case, doesn't it mean that you and your father... If your father finds out about this, do you think he will beat you up?"

"You..." Lin Xi was about to be driven mad by this bastard. Although he knew that he was messing around, he couldn't think of any reason to refute him.

When Cao Hongye saw this situation, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Okay, I will call you brother when I see you in the future, and I will owe you a favor. Is it okay now?"

Now that the point has been reached, Lin Xi naturally couldn't say anything more, so he could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Seeing this situation, Cao Hongye walked towards the campus proudly.Although in the future when I see Lin Xi, I have to call him brother, but it's better than calling him master!Besides, when he, Lin Xi, and Li Ze were sworn brothers, Lin Xi was originally the boss, so it was not wrong to call him brother.

Cao Hongye finally gave the 100 yuan to Lin Xi and asked him to give it to Gu Chunsong. After all, he and the other party were not in the same class.

After Lin Xi and Cao Hongye left, Zhang Fu and Yuan Fucai only chatted a few words, and then asked someone to help him arrange a place to live.

After Yuan Fucai left, Zhang Fu couldn't wait to pick up the phone and call home.During this period of time, since his wife had returned to her natal home, Zhang Fu asked a staff member of Fullerju to help Zhang Hongtao with cooking. His son should be at home now.

Although three or 4000 yuan was fine, Zhang Fu felt very uncomfortable being blocked in such a way to ask for the bill. He had to ask his son clearly what was going on.

Zhang Hongtao was taking an afternoon nap at home when he suddenly received a call from his father who told him to wait at home. He was not allowed to go anywhere, including going to school, until he came back.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hongtao became restless. Dad rarely spoke to him in such a tone, so he didn't know what was going on.

After Zhang Fu returned home, he couldn't wait to call his son to the study.

When his father said that Lin Xi went to Fuleju to look for him and brought back the so-called IOU written by him, Zhang Hongtao realized that things were not good. I had no choice but to tell what happened in detail.

After listening to his son's words, Zhang Fu felt a little better. To a certain extent, the money he gave could not be regarded as injustice, after all, it was his son who beat someone else up.As for whether to ask for so much money as compensation, that's another question, and he can't say much.

Even so, Zhang Fu scolded his son: "You brat is not young anymore, don't just eat, drink and have fun all day long. It is said that Dongsheng in Minzhou was created by that surnamed Lin. The gap between you and others is huge." It's not that big!"

When Zhang Hongtao heard this, although he felt very uncomfortable, what could he say in front of his father, so he nodded in agreement.

Just when Zhang Hongtao was sitting on pins and needles in front of Zhang Fu, Lin Xi was not at ease either.After returning to Class 10 of the third year of high school, the first thing Lin Xi did was to call Gu Chunsong to the corridor, and then handed him the 100 yuan.

Lin Xi thought that Gu Chunsong might not be willing to accept him before. What he thought was that Gu Chunsong would definitely accept him as long as he did the other party's work, but the reality was not what he thought.

Gu Chunsong's refusal to accept the money was not just for show, but because he really didn't want it.Although he was beaten up by Zhang Hongtao, Fang Junliang, and Hu Liang, there was nothing wrong with him. Even the doctor said so, it was just a little skin trauma.

As he said before, 1000 yuan is too much, let alone [-] yuan, plus the previous one is more than [-] yuan, Gu Chunsong can't ask for it.

Lin Xi saw that Gu Chunsong's attitude was extremely firm, and realized that although he had good intentions, he must not do bad things.Gu Chunsong's family conditions are not good. As a friend, he will help as much as possible. There is no problem with this, but when he overshoots again, he must pay attention to the other party's self-esteem.

Lin Xi looked at Gu Chunsong and said, "Chunsong, you have to accept this money, or you have to accept it if you don't. This is Zhang Hongtao's family's money. If you don't want it, why don't you let me and Cao Hongye ask for it? We not only beat them It’s a bit too domineering to accept money from people who don’t care about you, isn’t it?”

Gu Chunsong glanced at Lin Xi, thinking of the painstaking efforts of the other party, if he insisted on not accepting him, he would be a little ignorant.After thinking of this, Gu Chunsong took the money from Lin Xi and solemnly said thank you.

After hearing this, Lin Xi said disapprovingly: "Chunsong, which one of us is with whom? You helped me a lot before, so do you want me to say thank you to you?"

After hearing this, Gu Chunsong felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Lin Xi and said, "Lin Xi, I have accepted the money, but you have to give me a chance to thank you. I have a treat on Saturday night. We Come and get drunk, how about it?"

Lin Xi naturally couldn't refuse at this time, and pretended to be very happy to agree.

When Gu Chunsong saw it, he also nodded happily.Just when the two were about to go to class, Gu Chunsong ran into a problem, he didn't know what to do with the money.

Of the previous 1000 yuan, he gave [-] to Song Lin, sent [-] to his home, and kept [-] with him.
