Chapter 651 Bargaining (2 in 1)
Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian returned to the guesthouse in silence. As soon as they opened the door of their room, the door of the next room opened. Su Lidong poked his head out and asked hurriedly, "Mom and Dad, where did you go? Lidong and I are so hungry."
The combined money that Su Lidong and Su Lifeng had on them was just over ten cents, not enough for food, let alone going out for a walk. It was getting evening, but Su Shengguo and his wife hadn't returned yet. The two were extremely anxious, and they didn't know where they had gone, so they could only stay in the room and wait passively.
"Oh, yes, it's time for dinner." Su Shengguo seemed to have just realized it and said, "Come on, call your brother, and let's go eat first."
The family had dinner at the state-owned restaurant next to the guesthouse, and then went back to their rooms. Su Lidong wanted to ask Su Shengguo what happened, but was dragged back to the room by Su Lifeng.
After returning to the room, Zheng Erlian sat on the edge of the bed with a wooden face, staring out the window in a daze, revealing a sense of decadence.
Su Shengguo sighed and said, "Alright, don't think about it. No matter what, we can't offend Su Qing now. She is no longer the child who can be manipulated by others. You have to understand this."
"I understand." Zheng Erlian responded weakly. If she hadn't met Su Qing before, or even when she just met Su Qing, she still wanted to ask Su Qing for an explanation, but now, she had no such idea at all. The difference was too great, really too great. Now, compared with Su Qing, their family was completely different. They were no longer on the same level. If she wanted to confront Su Qing, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
Even if we take a step back and say that Su Qing is the murderer who killed Su Mei, she would not dare to go against Su Qing. She loves Su Mei, but she has two sons and she has to consider her two sons. She now knows very well that if she angers Su Qing, it will not be good for her family.
The only thing they could do was not to go against Su Qing.
They even had to help Su Qing to the best of their ability.
Thinking of the girl who instigated them to go against Su Qing, Zheng Erlian couldn't help but frowned. She said to Su Shengguo, "Tell me, who was that girl who came yesterday?"
Su Shengguo shook his head and said, "I don't know. Anyway, we just need to do what Su Qing tells us to do. We don't need to worry about anything else. We can't afford to worry about it."
"I see." Zheng Erlian nodded silently, thought for a moment, and then said, "Do you think that girl will come again?"
"Su Qing said she would, so I think she should come." Su Shengguo thought about Su Qing's current appearance and felt extremely regretful. If he had known that Su Qing would be in her current situation, he would never have followed her family in making trouble. If he had been able to help Su Qing back then, his life would have been much easier now.
It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world, and it's useless for Su Shengguo to regret it.
Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian didn't have to wait long before there was a knock on the door. The couple looked at each other, and Su Shengguo went forward to open the door. Standing at the door was indeed the girl who came yesterday.
Su Shengguo looked surprised: "It's you again!"
The girl smiled faintly: "Why, are you surprised?"
After that, the girl didn't wait for Su Shengguo to say anything, she went into the room and said, "Today, you went to Beijing University to find Su Qing, didn't you feel frustrated? I said yesterday that you are just ordinary people and can't beat Su Qing. Who is Su Qing? Now she is so famous. She is a student of Beijing University, and her grandfather's family is a big leader. She can walk sideways in Beijing. You are a small person from a small place. If you want to fight against her, you are overestimating your own abilities."
Su Shengguo made a frustrated expression: "Since you knew, why did you come to tell us those things? Do you know how much humiliation my husband and I suffered in front of Su Qing today? She even threatened us that if we dared to make trouble, we would regret it for the rest of our lives. Do you know how arrogant she was in front of us? Do you know how painful it was for us to be wronged and have no place to seek justice?"
Zheng Erlian, who was sitting silently on the side, was stunned when she heard Su Shengguo's words. How come she never knew that Su Shengguo's acting skills were so good? If it weren't for Su Qing who she met with Su Shengguo today, she would have believed Su Shengguo's words.
After hearing what Su Shengguo said, the girl smiled and said, "If you want to seek justice for your daughter, it is not impossible."
Su Shengguo looked at the girl in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"My meaning is very clear." The girl raised her eyebrows and smiled, "That is, I can help you get justice for you."
Zheng Erlian asked from the side: "Are you telling the truth?"
The girl smiled complacently, sat down at the table, tapped the table gently with her hands, and said with a smile: "Since I came to you, it means I have a way to help you. If you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't come. I don't want my kindness to be taken for granted."
Having said that, the girl stood up and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute." Seeing the girl stand up, Su Shengguo hurriedly took two steps forward, stopped the girl, and said, "I don't disbelieve you, it's just..."
As he spoke, Su Shengguo hesitated and pursed his lips in silence.
"What? Are you worried? Or, what are you afraid of?" the girl asked calmly.
Su Shengguo said hurriedly: "Please sit down first, and we will talk in detail."
"Okay, then I'll listen to your ideas too." The girl thought about it, nodded, and sat back in her chair.
Su Shengguo rubbed his hands, sighed, and said, "To be honest, after knowing the cause of my daughter's death, my husband and I both wanted to seek justice for her. But today when we went to find Su Qing, we really suffered a great loss. It can be said that we personally felt the gap between us and her. It is not ordinary."
The girl sneered: "Of course, you are just ordinary people. What is her status? Not to mention the status of the elders behind her, even with her current status, if she just says a word, there will be people to help her deal with you."
The girl's words made Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian's faces turn pale. This kind of Su Qing is even more powerful than the one they met today!
"So, so..." Su Shengguo's voice trembled a little: "You said you could help us, so how can you help us? You won't let my wife and I get hurt, right? You have to know that my wife and I still have two sons. Our daughter is gone, but we can't ignore our two sons."
The girl smiled faintly: "Don't worry, since I said I would help you, there must be a safe way. Moreover, what I give you is enough to make Su Qing lose her current status and become the same as you, or even worse. At that time, no matter how you want to retaliate, it will be a matter of physical effort, right?"
The girl's words made Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian's hearts tremble.
"What...what is that thing, so...so powerful." Su Shengguo's heart was trembling.
"Of course, it's something that can destroy Su Qing." The girl smiled and said to Su Shengguo: "Just tell me if you are willing to cooperate with me. I can tell you clearly that I can not only help you destroy Su Qing's status and position, but also help you destroy Su Qing. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again."
Su Shengguo took a deep breath and trembled: "Really...really."
"Well, that depends on whether you are willing to trust me and cooperate with me." The girl looked at Su Shengguo calmly, with a flickering light in her eyes, which made Su Shengguo's heart tremble.
To be honest, Su Shengguo actually wanted to back off. He felt that if he agreed to this girl, he would be involved in something, and these things would definitely be extremely serious, even beyond his understanding.
However, Su Shengguo knew clearly in his heart that the girl in front of him was obviously going to deal with Su Qing, or even with Su Qing's in-laws. Although his family had almost no contact with Su Qing, they were real relatives with unbreakable blood ties. If they didn't agree this time, they might find some way to force him to agree next time. He still had two sons, and he didn't want his two sons to fall into such danger in the future.
"How to cooperate?" Zheng Erlian asked before Su Shengguo could speak.
The girl smiled and said, "It's very simple. I need you to show your kindness to Su Qing first, so that Su Qing can forgive you, and even let the Li family behind Su Qing change their view of you. And you can enter the Li family as a relative."
"This, this may not be easy." Su Shengguo looked at the girl and said, "Since you know our relationship with Su Qing, you should know that our relationship with Su Qing was not good to begin with."
"I know." The girl smiled and said, "But everything depends on human effort, don't you think?"
The girl smiled on her face but was gritting her teeth in her heart. If it wasn't for the fact that the first plan, which she was most optimistic about, might not work, she would not have come to Su Shengguo's family. Obviously, it would be much more difficult to ask Su Shengguo's family to please Su Qing.
However, she must give it a try. Currently, there are only these two paths available to her. One of them must be feasible, the girl thought silently in her heart, but she looked at Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian calmly.
Su Shengguo was silent for a while, then asked, "What then?"
"Then, you have to complete this first step first, and then I can tell you how to take the second step."
Su Shengguo thought of what Su Qing said, and then said: "Then, what benefits can we get?"
The girl raised her eyebrows and said, "You have to understand clearly, I am helping you, helping you to avenge your daughter. Do you really want to watch your daughter die in vain? It seems that I am helping you and giving you benefits."
"Actually, I can see it." Su Shengguo said, "You have a grudge against Su Qing, you want to use us to deal with Su Qing. We are helping our daughter to get revenge, and you are also trying to use us to achieve your goal."
After hearing that, the girl couldn't help but frowned slightly. This Su Shengguo was even more greedy for money than she thought. However, soon, the girl's brows relaxed again. Being greedy is good. Only greedy people will do anything to get what they want. The word greed is a very good carrot.
Then I heard Su Shengguo continue to say: "Although I don't know what you want us to do next, I know that there must be risks. Since there are risks, then our family can't go back to Xiyuan County, otherwise we will be caught. We have to go far away, so this requires money, don't you think?"
"Yes." The girl smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. I admit that I have a grudge against Su Qing, and I just want to deal with her. In this regard, our goals are the same. How about this, I will give you 100 yuan first, and then I will give you another 100 yuan when the matter is settled. How about that?"
"One thousand yuan." Su Shengguo gritted his teeth and said, "You pay us one thousand yuan first, and when the job is done, you pay us another one thousand yuan, a total of two thousand yuan."
"You are robbing me." The girl frowned upon hearing this. Su Shengguo's big mouth really surprised the girl: "Don't be too greedy."
"More than 2,000?" Su Shengguo said, "I know without thinking that this is definitely very dangerous. We are a family of four. 2,000 yuan is not a lot. You have to let us run away and find a safe place."
The girl narrowed her eyes and said, "I'll give you five hundred dollars in total."
"No." It was Zheng Erlian who spoke: "Two thousand yuan, not a cent less."
"You should know that being too greedy will not end well." The girl glared at Zheng Erlian and said.
"We have to take risks too." Zheng Erlian refused to give in and argued with the girl for several rounds, each holding their own opinions.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Su Shengguo said, "How about this, let's both take a step back. You give us a total of 1,800 yuan, and pay 900 yuan first."
"Oh, you are really greedy. I will make a concession. The maximum is one thousand. Pay five hundred first."
"Sixteen thousand."
"One thousand and one."
"One thousand and five."
……
Finally, the two parties set the price at 1,380 yuan, and they needed to pay Su Shengguo and his wife 700 yuan as a deposit.
The girl looked at Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian with some disgust and said, "Now that it's settled, you two have to do your job properly. If you try to fool me, I won't tolerate it."
Zheng Erlian felt much better after getting so much money. Their family was extremely poor now, and with this money, they could live a good life no matter what.
"Don't worry, we will definitely make peace with Su Qing." Su Shengguo smiled and said, "By the way, I don't know your name yet. Now that we are working together, you have to tell me your name."
