The reason why Shen Shaozhou has such great prestige in the firm is because he has always said what he said and never broke his word. On the afternoon of the day he arrived in Fuzhou, he went to the chief steward of the commercial bank. Of course, the chief steward is now unemployed at home.

After obtaining the list of persons and verifying the situation, the pension is paid according to the old practice, depending on the position. Of course, there was no door-to-door delivery. It will take several days for more than 30 families to be delivered, but Shen Shaozhou is not willing to stay in Fuzhou for more and wants to solve the matter as soon as possible. So he asked the chief steward to inform the families of the victims to come to their homes to collect the money.

Some people didn't trust the silver ticket, so he just gave the money, and it took a morning to get it right.

The next morning, Shen Shaozhou went to the banker's house again to talk to the boss about the payment. After coming back, he went to Mrs. Huo: "Sister-in-law, I have talked with Boss Zhuang for a long time, and for the sake of the previous friendship between the two families, he promised to give you another half a year to raise money." ”

Mrs. Huo's heart trembled: "Shaozhou, now that we are penniless, how can we have the money to pay him back?" ”

Shen Shaozhou said: "The eldest brother has purchased those properties in Nanyang, and it should be no problem to sell them for 100,000 taels of silver." If my sister-in-law doesn't trust someone, I'll let Yu Dong help deal with it. ”

When Mrs. Huo heard this, she cried and said, "Shaozhou, those properties have been used to pay off the debts of Hualou, and we don't have any property now." ”

Because I cried so much during this time, I couldn't cry anymore.

Shen Shaozhou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "How much debt do Huo Yinghang and Huo Yingwei owe to the gambling house and Hualou?" ”

Mrs. Huo said in a trembling voice: "160,000 taels of silver." ”

This figure was the same as what he knew, and Shen Shaozhou asked: "The industry of Nanyang has also arrived, so what about the famine of 60,000 taels of silver?" ”

"Shaozhou, we really can't come up with the money."

Shen Shaozhou knew what she meant, and said, "Sister-in-law, the silver I brought has been used up, and I can't help you." ”

Mrs. Huo cried and said, "Shaozhou, if you don't help us, we will only have a dead end." Shaozhou, save us for your eldest brother's sake! ”

Her two daughters-in-law also knelt on the ground and begged: "Second uncle, please save us, we don't want to be sold to Hualou." ”

Subsequently, Huo Pearl also knelt down. She also wanted to pull Shen Tao to kneel, but unfortunately Shen Tao shook off her hand with an indifferent expression.

Shen Shaozhou sat on the chair and didn't move: "Sister-in-law, it's only 60,000 taels of silver, I believe that your body is more than that." ”

Mrs. Huo Da burst into tears: "Over the years, Yingwei and British Airways have spent money like water, and my body has already been filled in." Shaozhou, we really don't have a penny, otherwise I wouldn't have begged you like this. ”

Shen Tao said: "Mother-in-law, the events of the year before last have hollowed out our bottom. It's already a bit difficult to pay the pension this time, and I really can't help you pay off this arrears. ”

Huo Pearl looked at him and asked, "Ah Tao, do you want to watch my mother and Yingwei being forced to death?" ”

She used to think that the family had no money, but after listening to Mrs. Huo's words, she realized that her father-in-law was not without money but just hidden.

The Huo family of Huo Ji Commercial Bank accounted for 40% of the shares, Shen Shaozhou accounted for 30%, Xiangyang Hou accounted for 20%, and 10% was used to dot up and down. The Huo family is headed by Mrs. Huo, and she knows how much money she has earned over the years, and she also knows exactly how much Shen Shaozhou has earned.

The people of the Huo family spend money lavishly from top to bottom. Although Shen Shaozhou is righteous and will help others when they are in trouble, he is relatively thrifty and has strict control over his two children, and does not gamble or prostitute himself. So the expenses are limited, so she is very sure that Shen Shaozhou has saved a huge amount of money.

Shen Tao didn't like to hear this: "Did I let them owe a huge amount of money to Hualou and the gambling house?" Did I defeat the Huo family? They have lost a huge family business, and now they want us to pay for it, why? ”

Without waiting for Huo Pearl to speak, Shen Tao said: "It's true that my father and father-in-law are as close as brothers, but the money of our Shen family was all bought by my father, not given to him by my father-in-law." Moreover, after my father quit the firm the year before last, the thirty percent of the shares were transferred to my father-in-law, but we didn't ask for a penny. We've helped pay the pension, so what do we want? Do you want my Shen family to do everything to help you? Huo Zhuzhu, you are not only the daughter of the Huo family, you are also the mother of the official brother. The Shen family is also defeated, and Brother Guan'er not only can't study, but even three meals are a problem. ”

When Huo Pearl heard this, he didn't think about it and said: "You still want to lie to me, you know very well how many family backgrounds the Shen family has, but you have been hiding it from me, I am stupid and really believe it......"

Hearing this, Mrs. Huo's face changed: "Pearl, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Huo Pearl was shocked to realize that Shen Shaozhou was also present, and his face turned white at the moment. She knew very well that Shen Shaozhou was no longer as good to her as before. Now that I heard this, my attitude towards her was even worse.

Shen Shaozhou smiled: "You are right, I can take out 60,000 taels of silver?" But sister-in-law, why do you want me to pay for it? Xu Qingzhi's matter, I don't think I have pursued it in my relationship with my eldest brother for many years. Brother Guan was kidnapped by your son, I don't think I care about the relationship with my eldest brother for many years. Thirty percent of the shares, for the sake of the relationship with the eldest brother for many years, I don't want a cent. Now that I see the relationship with my eldest brother, I helped pay the pension. Sister-in-law, I have been brothers with my eldest brother for many years, but I don't owe him anything. ”

Shen Tao was a little puzzled: "Dad, what about Xu Qingzhi?" What's the matter with her? ”

Shen Shaozhou looked at Mrs. Huo and said, "She already knew that this family affair was inappropriate, but she didn't dare to disdain Mrs. Xiangyang Hou's intentions, so she pushed Ah Zhan out." ”

Mrs. Huo's heart trembled, and she said, "Shaozhou, I really don't know about this, don't listen to other people's slander." ”

"Who do you think is slandering, my daughter-in-law? Then you'd be overestimating her. She has to have that brain, and she can be crushed to death by your daughter. ”

Mrs. Huo wanted to say that it was Mrs. Gu and Qingshu, but her lips squirmed, and she didn't say it.

Shen Shaozhou sighed and said, "For the sake of the relationship with the eldest brother, I will help you repay 30,000 taels of 60,000 taels of silver, and you can figure out the remaining 20,000 taels by yourself." ”

With these 30,000 taels of silver in tow, the Huo family will not go to Pingzhou to find them.

If it's just a family failure, it doesn't hurt for him to help one or two. But the virtue of the Huo family brothers, he would never dare to touch it.

Mrs. Huo originally thought that Shen Shaozhou would leave it alone, but she didn't expect him to agree to pay back half of it. She felt that as long as she begged Shen Shaozhou, she would definitely be able to replace all the debts she owed.

Before she could speak, Shen Shaozhou interrupted her: "Sister-in-law, this is the last time I will help you." Tomorrow I will go back to Pingzhou with Shen Tao, and you can do it yourself in the future! ”

Mrs. Huo Da was stunned.

Everything that should be said has been said, so Shen Shaozhou got up and went back to the house. Shen Tao followed Shen Shaozhou that day, and he didn't go back to his house at night.

Early in the morning of the second day, the Huo family got up and found that Shen Shaozhou's father and son had left.

Huo Pearl was dumbfounded: "Gone, how is it possible?" ”

Shen Tao didn't call himself when he left, what does this show? shows that he doesn't want her as a daughter-in-law anymore.

Mrs. Huo was also shocked and angry, but now it was not what it used to be, they could only bow their heads: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and chase them! ”

Huo Pearl said angrily: "What are you chasing?" He doesn't want me, am I still dependent on her? ”

Mrs. Huo Da patted her head: "What are you doing staying?" Stay and drink the northwest wind with us? ”

The daughter returned to her parents' home, although it was thousands of miles away. But as long as the Shen family is rich, they can still help their mother's family.

Under the persuasion of Mrs. Huo, Huo Pearl finally went to chase the Shen family's father and son.
