Chapter 667: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (21)
Because he was afraid of his parents' punishment, Liang Huaixin didn't dare to go home and just lived in the woman's yard.
For three days in a row, I didn't have to study hard. Whether Meiren Pass is a hero's tomb is not the point at the moment.
At least for Liang Huaixin, this is the most comfortable and gentle place.
Although the Liang family knew clearly where Liang Huaixin was at the moment, they did not deliberately go looking for him because they wanted to make him suffer.
"Hmph! He doesn't have much money at all. I don't believe that woman can support him for how long!" Even though Old Madam Liang doted on her grandson, she knew what was important and what was not, so she didn't send anyone to persuade Liang Huaixin to turn back this time.
However, just because the Liang family did not take the initiative to look for Liang Huaixin did not mean that no one would look for the Liang family on Liang Huaixin's behalf.
At this moment, there is no most embarrassing thing, only more embarrassing things.
Although Liang Huaixin no longer has much money to spend, he is still the only young master of the Liang family after all.
Given his status, he could usually buy things on credit, but the amount he bought on credit could not be too much.
Of course, occasionally he would meet someone who showed no mercy to him at all, just like the owner of Wangchunlou in front of him.
Today, Liang Huaixin invited several so-called "former" classmates to come here for dinner.
These classmates were actually in a similar situation to him now, all of them were students who were expelled from the school due to misconduct.
They sat together and talked loudly, denouncing the teacher in the school loudly, and when they got excited they couldn't help cursing a few times.
One of them joked, "Brother Liang, you are the Master's son-in-law after all. Wouldn't it be bad if you join us in scolding me?"
"What's the big deal!" Liang Huaixin said disapprovingly, "No matchmaker, no betrothal! What kind of son-in-law is that? The teacher has taught for so many years, don't you understand the principle that the one who elopes becomes a concubine?
He is still trying to make trouble for me. If I really don't marry his daughter, I will at most be accused of being a playboy. Can he really report me to the police after having his daughter married? It's just a threat to me."
"Brother Liang is really awesome!" These people complimented, "It's worth coming to this party today! Not only are we treated to delicious food and wine, but we can also relieve our anger."
Someone took a look at the wine and food on the table and frowned: "Did we order so much? Did we order the wrong ones?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Brother Liang is paying the bill today, and his family is very rich!" The student next to that person didn't care how much money he spent. After all, he was giving to others generously, so why would he care about how much it cost!
At this time, the owner of Wangchunlou came over and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, the wine and food here are the best in our restaurant, a total of twenty-one taels of silver. Since you are all scholars, I will round off the amount and make twenty taels."
Liang Huaixin's face changed. How could he have twenty taels of silver at this moment?
"Boss, just put it in the account first." Liang Huaixin pretended to be calm.
The boss didn't stop smiling, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Master Liang, I don't know if you have paid back the bills you owed to other stores before, but our store is small and our profits are slim, so we won't give you any more credit."
Liang Huaixin's expression froze, and he said in a "dominant" manner, as he always did with merchants: "I just didn't bring enough money today. I'll give you five taels of silver first, and I'll have someone deliver the rest tomorrow."
"No!" The boss still looked unmoved. "I gave you five taels, and I still need fifteen taels. Please settle the amount as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, you can ask your friends to make up for it. They are all well-educated people, so they probably don't need the money."
As he said this, the waiters from Wangchunlou surrounded him, looking as if they would not let him leave unless he paid.
The other students present looked embarrassed. In fact, their families were not very rich. Their monthly pocket money was only one or two taels of silver. Now it was already the middle of the month, and the most they had in their purses was only a few hundred coins.
But seeing that they couldn't leave without paying, they had no choice but to take out their wallets and start collecting money.
After all the effort, the five people only managed to collect 800 coins, less than one or two taels of silver. However, the way they looked at Liang Huaixin was as if they wanted to eat him.
"Haha! You were just calling each other brothers, but now you're so hostile to each other when you mention money." The boss of Wangchunlou sneered, "Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll take care of whoever invited us to the banquet today. Everyone else, go!"
As soon as these words came out, almost everyone pointed the finger at Liang Huaixin: "Brother Liang is treating us today!"
After the first person said this, the others immediately followed suit, then took their own money back from the "pile of copper coins" on the table and walked out.
Seeing these people walking further and further away, Liang Huaixin's expression was obviously decadent. After everyone left, he asked, "Anyway, I only have five taels of silver now, so do whatever you want!"
It looks like they are going to throw the jar into the ground!
"You are the young master of the Liang family. We are legitimate merchants. What can we do to you?" The boss of Wangchunlou said calmly, "Go, ask the Liang family to come over and pay the bill."
