Chapter 441: Chapter 441: The Father-in-law’s Mindset_1
"Dad, it’s you."
Mo Han nonchalantly ended the call and made up a story off the cuff, "A friend of mine got scammed a while back on Antique Street, spent hundreds of thousands on a fake."
"Just now, he was panicking and called to ask me about it, but I don’t know much either, so I told him to talk to the sales clerk and see if he could find any evidence."
"By the way, Dad, what brings you here wandering around? Didn’t you go to the nearby street park to play chess with the others?"
In the Luo Family, the mother-in-law, Yang Meifeng, enjoyed playing mahjong and often went out to play a few rounds in the afternoon.
Her husband, Luo Shanchuan, didn’t have much money and usually just went to the street park to play chess with some older gentlemen.
"Ah, don’t mention it."
Luo Shanchuan sighed deeply, said weakly, "Now I’m on the park’s blacklist."
"Blacklist?"
Mo Han was confused, "Dad, how could you end up on their blacklist? You don’t steal or rob, nor do you fight or argue with people. Why would the street park blacklist you?"
"It’s all because of this!"
Luo Shanchuan pulled out two boxes of tea from behind him, speaking bitterly, "This morning, I was recommending tea to my chess buddies in the park."
"You’ve tasted this tea. It’s fragrant and sweet, has a nice flavor. I told those old guys to buy some."
"But who would’ve thought, not only did they not buy any, but they also said this tea is the trash of trash, worth at most a few tens per liang."
"I got angry at that moment, and I started to argue with them based on reason, but who would’ve thought, the park staff came over and accused me of unlicensed operation in a public place and selling products without three necessary documents, and not only drove me out but also put me on the park’s blacklist."
"Now when my friends see me, they all say I’m selling fake goods. Can you imagine how depressed I am?"
Once Mo Han heard this, he immediately understood.
It turns out his father-in-law was trying to fulfill his promise to help Xiao Li sell forty thousand worth of tea, shamelessly peddling it everywhere, but unexpectedly, he couldn’t sell the tea and ended up being driven out of the park by the staff.
Strictly speaking, those chess friends and park employees weren’t in the wrong.
The tea Luo Shanchuan bought was indeed trash, and it even lacked a production date; it was only him who considered it a treasure.
"Dad, do you really plan to help Xiao Li sell tea worth forty thousand?" Mo Han probed, "That’s not a small amount."
"No kidding!"
Luo Shanchuan scratched his head and looked pained, "I bragged too much at that time, saying I would definitely help Xiao Li sell it within three days. Now two days have gone by; tomorrow is the third day. How do I explain this to Xiao Li..."
Mo Han advised, "Dad, why not forget about it? Tell Xiao Li you can’t buy that much for now..."
"No way! A man’s word is his bond! I’m a man, how can I go back on my word?"
Luo Shanchuan shook his head vigorously, his tone firm, "Mo Han, let me teach you a lesson here: a man must keep his promises! Especially what he says to a woman, he must follow through, understand?"
"I must get that forty thousand today, no matter what!"
"Dad, you’re not thinking of taking it from Mom’s hands, are you?"
Mo Han said cautiously, "If she finds out you took this forty thousand for the tea, she will definitely kill you..."
As soon as his son-in-law mentioned Yang Meifeng, Luo Shanchuan’s expression immediately darkened, and his bold declarations vanished in an instant.
True, if that tigress found out he was going to spend forty thousand on tea leaves, she would definitely chase him with a kitchen knife.
Sigh! What a sin, I, Luo Shanchuan, suave and heroic, a man of my generation, how did I end up with such a shrewish wife!
"Mo Han, you have a lot of friends; you must have a way to help me raise this forty thousand, right?"
Luo Shanchuan looked at his son-in-law like he was grasping at the last straw.
"Dad, I told you last time that since I went bankrupt, many friends and classmates have stopped keeping in touch with me."
Mo Han spread his hands, pretending to be helpless, "Even if I had any, if they knew I needed forty thousand all at once, they definitely wouldn’t lend it."
"Ah... what am I going to do?"
Luo Shanchuan let out a long sigh toward the sky, then shook his head and stopped paying attention to Mo Han, wandering alone beneath the community building.
If it had been for anything else, Mo Han would have definitely given money to his father-in-law, but the catch was that his father-in-law needed forty thousand for a young girl.
For the current Mo Han, forty thousand was just a drizzle, but if he gave it, he would be supporting his father-in-law’s infidelity.
If his mother-in-law and wife found out, it would likely turn the house upside down.
Because of this reason, Mo Han decidedly refused his father-in-law.
Bored out of his mind, Luo Shanchuan wandered around the community for a while, but couldn’t think of any solution, so he found a long wooden bench and sat down to rest.
He placed the box of tea on the bench and suddenly noticed a colorful flyer stuck on it.
"Immortal Water, drink it in two minutes and you can hypnotize your sweetheart, to manipulate at will. What are you waiting for, 138xxxxxxxx"
Hypnotize? Manipulate at will?
Doesn’t that mean I could learn the bank card PIN?
Luo Shanchuan’s eyes flickered with an idea. He looked around to make sure no one was watching, took out his phone, and dialed, "Hello, do you sell Immortal Water?"
"Yes, eight hundred per bottle!"
"How effective is it?"
"Rest assured, very effective. Just two drops in water, and five minutes later, your beloved will do whatever you ask."
"The price is a bit steep, can you give me a discount?"
"Brother, I’m selling at cost price already, not making any profit."
"Three hundred, I have only three hundred. If that works we can trade right now."
Half an hour later, Luo Shanchuan stealthily emerged from the roadside bushes. He carefully put a plastic bottle the size of a finger into his pocket, making sure no one was around before picking up the box of tea leaves and walking away.
"Heh heh, Yang Meifeng, let’s see how I handle you today!"
