Chapter 324: Debt Collection

"Go into that alley, walk to the first fork in the road, and then walk east on Broad Street. The third door is here."

"Thank you, young man." Manager Sun bowed and gave the waiter another tael of silver. He then got on the carriage and asked the driver to drive the carriage into the alley as the waiter said to find the gate of the Hu family.

When we arrived at the door the waiter mentioned, we saw a lot of people there.

Some were standing, some were squatting, but all of them looked ferocious. From time to time, they kicked the mottled door of the Hu family and shouted, "I'm saying this today. If you don't pay me, I won't leave today!"

"Yes, we won't leave!" Someone threatened, and the others hurriedly followed, "If you want to hide behind closed doors and not pay, then don't come out for the rest of your life!"

"We are here to guard for twelve hours a day. Even if we can't get the money back, we can still let you starve to death!"

"Pay back the money quickly!"

Shopkeeper Sun touched his nose.

Judging from the situation, it seems that the creditor has come to collect the loan.

The Hu family's situation is worse than expected, so the price should be able to be lowered quite a bit.

Shopkeeper Sun had a plan in mind. He walked to the front door and bowed to everyone, "Please make way for me."

"Who are you and what do you want?" Someone looked Manager Sun up and down, "Are you here to collect a debt from the Hu family as well? How much money does the Hu family owe you?"

"My last name is Sun, I'm from Qinghe, and I make a living as a dental hygienist." Shopkeeper Sun replied, "I came to the Hu family today not to collect a debt, but to ask them to buy Juweizhai."

Buy Juweizhai?

The burly men who were collecting debts were stunned at first, and then the leader chuckled, "Shopkeeper Sun actually wants to buy Juweizhai. I'm afraid he doesn't know what's going on inside Juweizhai..."

"My master has already found out all the details about Juweizhai, but he doesn't care." Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned again.

This shopkeeper Sun seems to be of some importance.

Although the Wu family is extremely powerful, there are always people who are stronger than them. If we look closely at the various forces in the capital, there are some that are more powerful than the Wu family, but most of them are low-key and introverted, not as flamboyant as the Wu family.

If there really was someone of higher status than the Wu family who took action, there would naturally be no problem with this matter.

but……

It has nothing to do with them.

Those people looked at Manager Sun with a little more awe, but they didn't care and said, "Although you are here to buy Juweizhai, you have to wait until we get the money before we can talk about anything else."

"That's right, don't delay our work." Someone agreed and wanted to chase Manager Sun further away.

Shopkeeper Sun laughed and said, "I came to buy the shop, and the Hu family handed it over to me. I gave the Hu family money, so doesn't the Hu family have money to pay you back?"

"You should not be hostile to me. Instead, you should cooperate with me. This way, you can get the money earlier and report back."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and after a moment, they all nodded subconsciously.

It is indeed well said. The sooner I get the money, the sooner I can report back. Not only can I avoid being scolded, but if I am lucky, I might even get some reward money.

The leader, named Lai Wu, walked forward and said, "Manager Sun is right."

Seeing that everyone was looking at Lai Wu, Shopkeeper Sun guessed that Lai Wu must have a high prestige, so he said, "But the Hu family has always been treacherous and greedy for money. I am afraid that the Hu family will raise the price when they see me buying the shop. I am also afraid that they will not sell it to me in order not to pay you back. So in order for me to buy the shop earlier and you to get your debts back earlier, I hope you can help me."

"If this is accomplished, even if there are no other benefits, I can still make the decision by giving you good wine and good food and some money for tea."

"How does Manager Sun want us to help?" Lai Wu asked.

Shopkeeper Sun motioned Lai Wu to come forward and whispered something in his ear.

Lai Wu understood and cupped his hands, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Sun, we will do our best to cooperate."

"Thank you." Shopkeeper Sun bowed.

The sun gradually rose higher, bringing some rare warmth to the whole earth in winter.

But the Hu family’s mansion is now extremely cold.

Firstly, they had no money to buy charcoal, and the charcoal basins and dragons had not been lit all winter, making the house as cold as an ice cellar.

Secondly, in order to raise more money to rescue Hu Xingxian and Hu Xingyi, all the slaves and servants in the family who could be sold were exchanged for silver, leaving only one or two who could do personal work and one or two old women to do rough work.

The huge house is empty and naturally looks deserted.

"It sounds like there's no movement outside. Let's go take a look and see if those people have left. If they have, sneak out and buy some food."

Sun ordered.

They were blocked for quite some time, with the door of the house closed and the servants unable to go out. Most of the food in the house was eaten, leaving only some rice and flour. Every day they had either white flour buns or white rice porridge, which tasted bland.

"Remember to buy a roast chicken." Han added.

She was really greedy, and the children were also clamoring for meat.

If Han had said this a few days ago, Sun would have ridiculed her and said that her family was greedy and cunning, but seeing that her children all looked gloomy, Sun nodded and said, "Buy two."

We can each have two pieces.

The maid agreed, took the money needed for the purchase from Sun, and left in a hurry.

But after a cup of tea, the maid came back again, trembling, "Madam."

Seeing that the servant came back empty-handed and brought a stranger into the yard, Sun thought she was a debt collector and slammed the table in anger, "Get out now. We have no money to give you. If you make trouble again, we will hang ourselves on the beams and burn the house deeds and land deeds, leaving you with nothing."

Shopkeeper Sun touched his nose.

No wonder those debt collectors, who are all burly men, dare not come in. It turns out that there are a lot of tough guys here. I guess those people are afraid of being punished for messing up their master's business, or even suffering losses, so they dare not come in forcefully.

But it doesn't matter, he has a solution.

"Madam, please don't be angry. I am not here to collect the debt. I am here to buy the shop and give you money." Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile.

"Buy Juweizhai?" Han's eyes lit up. "How much money do you want to pay?"

Shopkeeper Sun held up four fingers.

"Forty thousand taels?"

There was also some joy on Sun's face.

Forty thousand taels was almost enough to pay off the money they had borrowed from outside, make some arrangements, and even allow the two families to leave the capital and settle down somewhere else, so that they could live a prosperous life in the future.

I have to say that Juweizhai is really a good thing. At this time, it can still bring such great benefits to the Hu family.

"It's four thousand taels."

Shopkeeper Sun said.
