Chapter 248: An Acquaintance
"No, one hundred and twenty taels is not a penny more."
Li Yaren continued to drink tea.
Because it was brewed for the third time, not only did the taste become much lighter, but the original grass green and yellowish tea color also became lighter.
"Okay, one hundred and twenty taels, sell it now!"
Bai Qianshan gritted his teeth.
accepted.
Late noon.
He took forty taels of silver and sent it to Feng’s Escort Agency.
Feng Biao and his companions cursed him several times and vented their anger.
With this money, I can at least eat at Jiang’s snack shop for a few months.
"Shopkeeper, the shop has been brought here."
In the courtyard of the brokerage firm just now, Li the broker walked up to a middle-aged man holding a paper contract.
He said respectfully.
"Well, you did a good job. Next month, your salary will be increased by two taels."
"Yes, thank you, boss." Li Yaren was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Just now, it was just a scheme set up by him and the shopkeeper.
Even though everyone is hating the Bai family snack shop now, after a while, the people in the town will forget about it. If they sell it again, they can make at least two hundred taels of silver.
As for the pawnshops in the town, they were all run by his master.
How could someone run such a big dental business with only this one business?
How could Bai Qianshan, who was tricked, have imagined this?
He thought he had gotten a great deal.
I sold it for thirty taels more.
"Oh, what should we do? One hundred and twenty taels, minus forty taels, our family can only live on these eighty taels, which is not enough to last a lifetime."
Wan Zhenchou's eyebrows formed a "川" character.
She held her chin in her hand, sat in the chair and sighed.
"Don't think about it. We are lucky to have solved this problem. Selling it at a low price is better than having the shop closed down. We still have this big house. What are we afraid of? Okay, give me two taels of silver. I'll go out for a drink to relieve my fatigue."
Bai Qianshan stretched out his hand, wanting to take two taels, but was scolded by Wan Zhen and ran away.
Bai Jizu, who was hiding in the corner outside the window, heard what his parents said, and saw with his own eyes his mother hiding the eighty taels under the bed.
He smiled.
Turned around and left.
Another day passed, and it was the day for Jiang Tongmu School to have a holiday.
Just like last time.
My uncle picked up three people.
Meng Bujiu and Kong Mingxue looked at the Jiang family's new shop in amazement.
"Grandma, what's going on? Why did you change to a new shop out of the blue?"
Kong Mingxue asked curiously.
"Because someone bullied us! The original shop owner was a bad guy. He stole our food and drove us away. He then opened Bai's Snack Shop in the original shop. He was so bad. Fortunately, the food they made was terrible and no one went there. He also made other people sick. Now the shop is closed..."
Jiang Fubao knew that grandma wouldn't say much, so she acted as her mouthpiece.
Jiligulu explained the cause of the matter clearly.
"Bai's Snack Shop, surnamed Bai? There aren't many people with the surname Bai in this town, Fu Bao, do you know his name?"
Recalling the familiar figure I saw that day.
Kong Mingxue suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Who's Bai Qianshan? His wife's name is Wan. They are both bad. Brother Mingxue, please stay away from them." Jiang Fubao said in a baby voice.
"What? It's them? No wonder!"
Kong Mingxue was shocked.
He even stood up from his chair.
"What's wrong? Why are you so excited for no reason? What happened?" Sun Pingmei, who loves gossip, came over with a dough as big as her head.
She looked curious.
The dough in her hands was too sticky, so she tossed it around and almost dropped it on the ground.
"Pa——" Zhang Jinlan gently slapped her on the butt.
"Put the dough aside and come over here. You can't play with food."
The force is very light.
Sun Pingmei grimaced and pretended to be in pain.
"Oh, I'm wrong, mother-in-law, please don't hit me. I will stay at home and take care of my husband and children. I will never go out of the house. Please forgive me~"
His funny look made everyone laugh.
"Okay, what a funny guy." Zhang Jinlan also laughed out of anger.
"That Wan, yes, it's me..." Kong Mingxue stuttered halfway through his words and closed his lips tightly.
He swallowed.
Just tell them the truth.
"My mother's last name is also Wan... Logically, I should call Wan my aunt, but she is a concubine's daughter, and my mother has always looked down on her. It's not because of her status, but because the concubine killed my grandmother and tortured my mother in various ways, so my mother hates her.
Since my grandfather and the concubine passed away, we have no contact with Wan. She married into the Bai family. My grandfather loved her and thought it was the best marriage. But after the wedding, we found out that the Bai family was weak inside and their shops and properties were fake. But since she was married, there was nothing we could do. My grandfather died early because of all the hard work he did for her. "
There was a hint of gloom in Kong Mingxue's eyes.
Looks like he's very sad.
"Don't be sad. Maybe your grandfather will be reborn into a good family in his next life. Maybe he has already reunited with your grandmother and continued their marriage."
Jiang Tongmu tried to persuade him.
"Pah, pah, pah, please don't curse my grandmother. She has suffered all her life. If she marries my grandfather, that beast, she will be so unlucky. I wish my grandfather would die soon. Such a person who favors his wife and kills his concubines should go to hell!"
What Jiang Fubao could not have expected was.
This is actually Kong Mingxue's reaction.
He just spat three times and then warned Jiang Tongmu and Meng Bujiu.
"You boy, don't imitate my grandfather to take a concubine in the future, otherwise I will break off my relationship with you! It's the same if you don't blame me. If you dare to take a concubine, I will tell your grandfather and let him beat you up! I'm sad just now because my mother, she is beautiful and should have a good home, but she was blown by the concubine, and her grandfather married her to my father.
My father is ugly, but he loves my mother terribly. In order to let my mother live a good life, he worked hard to make money. If my father hadn't doted on my mother for more than ten years, my mother would not have walked out of the shadow. I just feel sad for my mother, but fortunately, she is living a happy life now. "
Thinking of his mother, Kong Mingxue smiled gently.
Jiang Fubao's face was full of black lines.
No, why is this kid so disappointing?
Uncle Kong is not good-looking, he is fat and round, like a big ball.
But it’s not that ugly.
Who would say that his father is ugly in person? If Uncle Kong heard it, he would be extremely angry.
She is different.
She thinks her daddy is the most handsome.
My mother is beautiful too.
They are a perfect match.
"Daddy, I want a hug."
Jiang Fubao walked to the oven and stretched out his arm to Jiang Siyin.
Because the cuffs of the clothes were loose, they slipped from the wrists to the armpits.
Two arms as white as lotus roots were exposed.
White, soft and plump.
Jiang Siyin's eyes were full of love.
He looked thin, but he picked up his daughter with one hand.
"Why are you pestering daddy, Fubao? Do you want to eat meat? Here, take these three skewers of meat and eat them first. If it's not enough, daddy will grill more for you."
Jiang Fubao, who had just finished his meal and burped, was stuffed with three more skewers of meat.
There is a kind of fullness that comes from daddy being afraid that you are not full.
She continued eating reluctantly.
