Chapter 160 Tears in Bluestone Lane
The bearded man turned around and saw that it was Campbell who came. He quickly put down the work in his hands, stood up and said:
"Brother Kang is here, come in and sit down, this place is a mess, don't pollute your eyes."
"It doesn't matter. I'll leave when I'm done. I want to invest another three thousand taels." Campbell said directly.
"Sure! Let's go and register. However, since the additional amount is less than 10,000 taels, the dividend points can only be calculated based on the previously agreed amount. I have to make this clear to Brother Kang." The bearded man said seriously.
Campbell nodded, "I understand this, but if I add another 7,000 taels, which makes 10,000, will the dividend points change?"
"Of course it will change. We do it based on the total amount of money invested. Once you have enough money, the dividend points will naturally change." The bearded man said immediately.
"That's fine!" Campbell was relieved.
The bearded man took him to register, then took out another five hundred taels and handed it to Campbell.
"This is a short-term interest dividend. I was thinking I'd give it to you along with the others when you came over in a few days, but since you're here now, just take it first."
Campbell didn't expect that he would get money today, so he was naturally happy. However, five hundred taels was too little, so he decided to keep the money for his own spending.
"Okay, I'll take it."
Campbell immediately wrote his name.
Before leaving, the bearded man stuffed two large lamb legs into his hands. Seeing that he couldn't carry them, he simply called a young man to help and went with him to deliver them to his home.
After returning to the Kang family, Campbell went to see his father and mother first.
"Have you seen your sister? How is she? Is she seriously ill?" asked Kang's mother.
"It's okay! I see that she just looks a little pale, but she's in good spirits and has no problem eating and drinking. Don't worry too much, mom." said Campbell.
"Oh, how can I not worry? Our family is counting on her." Kang's mother sighed.
This made Campbell feel unhappy. What did he mean by relying on his sister? Although it was like this in the past, that was all in the past. Now he had to rely on himself, and life at home would not be worse than before.
"Mother, my sister has her own life to live. We can't always count on her. Besides, she's not in charge of the household in the Marquis' Mansion. She doesn't have that much money to take care of us. Only sons can be relied on. I just brought back two big lamb legs. We'll ask the kitchen to cook them for us later."
Campbell said directly, and took out the five hundred taels of silver note from his arms.
"Here, my son earned it from his business."
"Another five hundred taels!" When Kang's mother saw that it was another silver note with a face value of five hundred taels, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"My son is really capable. It has only been a short time and he has earned another 500 taels for me."
Campbell laughed and kept saying that Kang's mother would live with him and enjoy happiness in the future, which made the old lady extremely happy.
Father Kang was naturally happy, after all, his son had made progress, but he was more concerned about the two big lamb legs. Thinking about this, he went to the kitchen.
The Kang family was in a festive mood, while at the mutton restaurant, after Campbell left, the bearded man calmly took the banknotes and continued to slaughter the sheep.
"Master Shi, it didn't work this time?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Good things are worth waiting for. Let's just continue as usual. You can send a message to big brother. Be careful not to be recognized." The bearded man did not stop sharpening the knife.
"Don't worry, I'll go right away."
When Qingda got the news and came to report to Su Qingwan, he saw her watching Su Lanbin playing shuttlecock.
Although the little guy is not big, he is good at kicking shuttlecock and has learned to count. It's a pity that after counting to fifty, he will go back to twenty-one.
"Ninth sister, you should be fifty-one now." Su Qingwan reminded her.
"Fifty-one, fifty-two, thirty-three, thirty-four..." Su Lanbin continued to play shuttlecock seriously.
Linxiang next to him smiled without saying anything, but Shanhu just giggled and continued to help Su Lanbin correct the mistake, and then the shuttlecock fell to the ground.
Su Lanbin panted dejectedly. How come she couldn't kick a hundred times? She was so tired.
Su Qingwan smiled gently and said, "Take Sister Nine to have some rest. Remember to rub her legs and relax her."
"Okay!" Shanhu took Su Lanbin away.
Linxiang also retreated tactfully.
After seeing that these people had left, Qingda told the story of Campbell again.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Su Qingwan said directly after hearing this.
With such good bait, the big fish will take the bait sooner or later, so there is no need to rush.
Qingda thought so too. Human hearts are extremely greedy, especially people like Campbell. Faced with such a great temptation, he simply cannot escape.
"Sister, I'm so unlucky today. I just ran into Su Yuejie at the door. He actually stuck his neck out at me. I really want to beat him up."
Su Yuewu walked over and immediately spoke loudly after seeing Su Qingwan.
"Su Yuejie is back?" Su Qingwan asked.
"Yeah, he came back with a dark face. When I saw that face, I wanted to beat him up." Su Yuewu clenched his fists, making a crackling sound.
"Why hit him? Don't dirty your hands."
Su Qingwan doesn't want her brother to be involved in these things.
"Sister, my brothers and I stroll around the streets every day, and we haven't heard any rumors about you. But my uncle's story is very interesting, with details and very touching. Teahouses don't tell stories about a love affair with a turtle anymore. They're telling my uncle's new story, called 'Tears in the Bluestone Lane.'"
Su Yuewu sat on Su Qingwan's chair and saw four plates of snacks on the small table. He took them and started eating without any hesitation.
"Tears shed in the bluestone lane." Su Qingwan couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the title of this story.
Very good! Qing Er's ability to make up stories has improved again.
"Are there no other rumors?" Su Qingwan asked again.
"Yes, I heard that several families united together and smashed the Zhou family. It was quite a big commotion, and even the Jingzhao Yin was there."
"and then?"
"Then I don't know. I only overheard it when I was drinking with my brothers."
"Where did you drink the wine?"
"Yanyu...Lou." Su Yuewu suddenly remembered that he had promised Li Yukang not to tell his family about his drinking.
What to do now? He had said it all without even realizing it!
"Is the wine there good?" Su Qingwan asked with a smile.
Su Yuewu shook his head. He wanted to say that it tasted good, but he didn't have the courage.
However, the girls in Yanyu Tower were wearing very little and wanted to throw themselves on them one by one, but they were all driven away by him.
"Since it doesn't taste good, forget it. I wanted to try it anyway." Su Qingwan said with regret.
"It doesn't taste good. It really doesn't taste good. Sister, don't try it." Su Yuewu said hurriedly.
If she knew that he went to the brothel to drink, she would break his legs.
"I'm going to go back and change my clothes. I'm leaving now."
Su Yuewu stood up in panic and rushed to his house.
Qingda stroked his chin, looked at Su Yuewu, and clicked his tongue twice:
"This little brat, his hair hasn't even grown out yet, and he's already playing in a brothel."
Su Qingwan gave him a glare, and Qingda immediately stood up straight.
"Master, you know that I am a clean-handed servant and never go to those places of prostitution."
