Chapter 1394: Chapter 1389: Hand Over the Money
Mu Dade tried to maintain an attitude without any hint of criticism.
He needed Mu Shuangshuang’s money desperately.
Without that money, the secret he hid in the house would be revealed.
"Shuangshuang, I’m begging you!"
Mu Dade bowed to Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang secretly laughed at Mu Dade’s two-faced behavior.
However, she also understood the meaning of taking what’s good and leaving it at that.
"Alright, I’ll lend it, but I’m afraid uncle won’t return it, so I need additional assurance!"
Mu Shuangshuang said.
"What kind of assurance?" Mu Dade had a bad premonition.
"How about this, uncle must either admit in front of everyone in the restaurant that he borrowed a hundred taels of silver notes from me and will repay it when he returns!
Or, write a contract but you have to pay me five taels of silver as interest first!"
"Five taels of silver as interest?"
Mu Dade felt like he was going crazy, no, the brat in front of him was crazy.
Borrowing money, she actually demanded five taels of silver in interest.
And he only needed to borrow sixteen taels, five taels of silver was almost half, right?
Why doesn’t this brat just rob me?
"Uncle doesn’t want to? Then let’s use the first method, admit in front of everyone in the restaurant that you borrowed a hundred taels from me, and you must repay it on time. If you don’t, anyone has the right to come after you for the debt!"
Compared to letting everyone know he borrowed money from Mu Shuangshuang, this brat, losing face, Mu Dade naturally chose the option of paying five taels of silver as interest.
"Fine, five taels of silver as interest, just five taels of silver as interest! Bring paper and a pen over!" Mu Dade said.
But Mu Shuangshuang turned to seek help from the Shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, can you help me write this down and act as my intermediary? You should know my uncle’s status, right? If he doesn’t repay me in the future, I’ll have to trouble you to testify. I’ll pay you five taels of silver as a witness fee!"
At this moment, Mu Dade regretted deeply that he had revealed his identity to the chosen Shopkeeper.
If he hadn’t said anything, perhaps he could have found a reason to shirk this debt.
Now...
Mu Dade’s heart was bleeding, twenty taels and five qian of silver!
Is this brat here to torment me?
How come, as soon as she arrives, I lose so much?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt agitated. Mu Dade took several deep breaths.
Until the Shopkeeper came over with the contract in triplicate.
Mu Dade hadn’t regained his composure.
All three copies of the contract had the fingerprints of three people on them, it was basically a done deal.
Only then did Mu Shuangshuang give Mu Dade the hundred taels of silver notes.
Mu Dade handed them to the Shopkeeper.
After the silver notes were split, the Shopkeeper asked the cashier to find the money.
Five taels of silver were to be the interest paid to Mu Shuangshuang.
As for the remaining hundred taels, Mu Dade would give them back to him once he returned.
When he left, Mu Dade was intent on making Mu Shuangshuang embarrassed.
When he returned, the situation had completely changed.
Mu Dade sat in the carriage, sullen and dejected.
He had a pale complexion, blue lips, undoubtedly accumulating a bellyful of anger.
Mu Shuangshuang was now incredibly happy, she especially missed having a mobile phone. If she had one, she would surely take pictures of Mu Dade’s current state and show it to others.
Finally arriving at the Old Mu Family’s house, Mu Shuangshuang carried a food box and entered the house leisurely.
Mu Dade, meanwhile, rushed urgently.
He dashed into his room, took out the hundred-tael silver note, and then went to the dining hall.
In front of everyone, he said loudly, "Thanks to Shuangshuang for covering for me earlier, here is your principal, and the previous five taels of silver interest have already been paid, right?"
Mu Dade spoke loudly and articulately.
Upon hearing Mu Dade’s words, Old Mrs. Mu’s triangular eyes widened instantly.
"What five taels of silver? What interest, what hundred taels?" Old Mrs. Mu raised her voice.
"Mom, perhaps Da De went out to buy roast chicken without bringing silver, and Shuangshuang happened to have some, so she lent it to him, but charged him five taels of silver in interest!" Mrs. Jin explained from the side.
"What? Just for a short while, and she charged five taels of silver in interest? Brat, are you crazy! Why don’t you go rob someone? Why don’t you go die? You’re exploiting your own family, you... you..." Old Mrs. Mu was furious, pointing at Mu Shuangshuang and cursing.
Mu Shuangshuang skillfully dodged her finger, so in the end, the person Old Mrs. Mu pointed at turned out to be Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin quickly stood up, "Mom, don’t point at me and scold me. This matter has nothing to do with me!"
Her ability to deflect responsibility was not ordinary.
Mu Dade saw that the situation had developed almost enough.
He said, "Shuangshuang, take your silver notes!"
Then he held out the silver notes.
He gave the silver notes in a rather subtle position.
Almost right in front of Old Mrs. Mu, she only needed to stretch out her hand to grab it.
Old Mrs. Mu naturally reached out to grab it, but Mu Shuangshuang reacted faster, and just as Old Mrs. Mu was about to grab the silver notes, Mu Shuangshuang snatched them from Mu Dade’s hand.
Mu Dade was stunned.
Old Mrs. Mu’s hand hovered in place.
Mu Shuangshuang was quite satisfied with their reactions.
In terms of hand speed, they were not her match at all. Back in the day, her gun dismantling speed was unmatched by many boys.
If it hadn’t been for her losing ambition later, she wouldn’t have ended up at the grassroots, dealing specifically with trivial matters.
If it weren’t for those things, she wouldn’t have gotten into a fight and been beaten until she was transported through time!
And she wouldn’t have met Fengzi and all the people in this world.
"Hand it over!"
Old Mrs. Mu reached out to Mu Shuangshuang.
The hundred-tael silver note, if she could take it back, the Old Mu Family could buy a big house.
"Grandma, what’s this about? Do I owe you money?" Mu Shuangshuang asked with an innocent face.
"You don’t owe me money, but your parents owe me money. I supported your father for so many years, it’s time to repay.
Your father gave birth to you, debts are paid by daughters, today you must hand over that hundred-tael silver note."
Old Mrs. Mu’s reasoning was still the same old routine, but her greedy nature hadn’t changed one bit.
"Grandma, what you said, I remember the third branch was separated out, at that time we had a contract, and the money I earn, grandma can’t take even a penny!"
This was the earliest contract made with the Old Mu Family members.
Mu Shuangshuang remembered it every moment.
"You..." Old Mrs. Mu also remembered.
That so-called contract had left her unable to take advantage of Mu Shuangshuang’s restaurant and school.
The past was over, but now with a hundred taels in front of her, how could she not take it?
"Hand over the money, or don’t blame me for not being polite!" Old Mrs. Mu said.
Mrs. Lin also chimed in, "Shuangshuang, your grandma is getting old, can’t take many shocks.
She wants money, just give it to her, it’s not a big deal, don’t you all agree?"
"Exactly, Shuangshuang sister, you have a restaurant anyway, you don’t really care about such a small amount, do you?
Perhaps if grandma takes this money, she’ll buy us a big house with three entrances and exits, then everyone will have a place to stay!"
