Chapter 910: A ray of hope (2)
"Mrs. Ji is also a good person." The woman said solemnly.
"Xiaohua, we don't have to close our store." Zhao Yang looked at the money in his arms. Together with the money Lao Li and the others had given back to them before, they could still live a prosperous life for a while.
"Those lists..." the woman sighed.
"Just compensate! Without an embroiderer, we won't be able to complete the embroidery in a short time. It's better to compensate the customer directly. Everything will be fine when we find an embroiderer!" Zhao Yang had no choice, but the construction period was limited. Unless they could find an embroiderer to complete the customer's pattern within the construction period, otherwise... once the customer made a fuss and their reputation was damaged, it would be not worth it.
They will no longer be able to do the embroidery business in the future. Instead of doing that, it is better to lose money from the beginning. At worst, they will just lose more money.
The guests will agree.
"This is the only way!" The woman nodded. If she could embroider, she would definitely do it herself. However, her embroidery skills were at best limited to patterns. She was not sure about the complicated embroidery. Since Zhao Yang said so, she would not bother.
The two of them slept soundly with their son in their arms. The next morning, as soon as the door of the embroidery shop opened, Aunt Wang and others rushed in. Zhao Yang was so scared that he immediately protected his wife.
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Yang asked nervously, thinking that Aunt Wang and the others were here to cause trouble.
"This is the money our family owes you. We've paid it back to you! Don't say that my family lent you money anymore!" Aunt Wang walked up to Zhao Yang and put a purse in front of him with a distressed look on her face. Then she turned around and left.
"This is the money my family borrowed from you. Keep it all! We won't owe each other anything from now on!"
"This is the money I lent you last year..."
They threw them onto Zhao Yang's counter one by one, then turned and left.
Zhao Yang and his wife looked at each other in surprise. Only after they left did Zhao Yang collect all the silver, forming a pile like a small mountain.
But the couple was puzzled. They thought it was impossible for them to pay back the money, so why did they suddenly change their ways and pay back the money so promptly without any arrears?
"What's wrong with them?" Zhao Yang looked at the money in front of him, but his wife took out the account book and matched the amounts one by one. It was really the money they had lent out over the years that matched.
"The amount of money matches...have they really paid back all the money?" The woman looked at the notebook in astonishment, then looked at Zhao Yang.
Next to the embroidery shop was a grocery store. The owner walked in when he saw the shop opened. He happened to have seen what had just happened. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the couple looking at each other in confusion and smiled.
"Mr. Zhao, your family's affairs have spread throughout the entire Heyang City! Everyone knows that you have a group of neighbors who owe you debts and relatives who are taking advantage of you..." the grocery store owner explained to Zhao Yang.
I told them the rumors circulating outside, "Now everyone knows about you."
"Is that why they paid back the money?" the woman raised her eyebrows curiously.
"If they don't pay back the money, their reputation will be ruined. And the adults have just issued a new law. If you owe money and are sued to the government, you will be labeled a deadbeat, which is really embarrassing!" The grocery store owner laughed.
"There is such a thing!" Zhao Yang and his wife looked at each other. They really didn't know this.
"Everyone already knows about your court hearing yesterday. If they don't pay you back, no one will sell anything to them in the future..."
