Chapter 825: Taking Over the Shop Quickly
Li Qi sat on the ground, not believing Li Jinyuan's words at all, "Dad, stop flattering Li Yingyue, is she really that kind?
I think she kept these shopkeepers and their assistants here on purpose to annoy me.
Whenever I want to do something, they start to interfere, telling me this is not allowed and that is not allowed.
I just can't figure out who are the masters, they or I.
I might as well just chase them all away and let them know who is their master, so I can have some peace of mind."
"You will be able to have some peace and quiet, but our shop will be closed soon."
Li Jinyuan looked at his disappointing son lying on the ground, feeling extremely disappointed, "Those shopkeepers and employees you chased away were all raised by your sister.
Your sister went to the capital, and they were willing to follow her."
"Dad, thankfully I chased them away long ago. I've already told you that these people are Li Yingyue's spies planted in our Li family."
Li Jinyuan sneered, "Then tell me, what is your sister's reason for harming our Li family?"
Li Qi hesitated, "Anyway, Li Yingyue has bad intentions.
She has always been strong-willed, and she might not be willing to marry a poor scholar!
Also, the dowry our family gave was insufficient, so it's understandable that she wants to take revenge on us."
"She's taking revenge on her own family? Li Qi, are you kidding me?"
"Dad, just believe her!
I've seen through her a long time ago. She has no good intentions."
Li Jinyuan looked at the stubborn Li Qi, and felt a pain in his heart as if it were being cut by a knife. He waved his hand, signaling Li Qi to leave quickly.
Li Qi was just looking forward to it. He got up from the ground, ignored the pain in his legs, and ran out as fast as he could, dragging his legs.
He ran out of Li Jinyuan's yard and patted his chest with lingering fear. "I think this old man is crazy."
Then he waved his hand to call a servant, motioned him to squat down, and asked the servant to carry him back to his yard.
When Li Qi was lying in bed, he thought of something else, "Find someone to keep an eye on her. When my mother comes back, tell me."
He put his hands under his head, crossed his legs, stared at the ceiling, and began to think about his marriage.
He thought about telling his mother later that it was okay to get married.
However, he needs to find a woman with a good temper and a gentle personality, who is easier to control.
Even if he gets married, it won't stop him from having fun.
After he had a plan for getting married, he began to feel pain all over his body.
My face was burning with pain, my calves were aching, and my thighs were not much better.
Li Qi felt annoyed again. Why did he rush to find his father?
You asked for this beating.
As he thought about it, he blamed Li Yingyue again. If it weren't for her, perhaps he wouldn't have had to suffer so many beatings.
He thought again of Shen Lingchuan going to Beijing to take the exam, and began to calculate that it would be best if he did not pass.
.
Li Jinyuan sat dejectedly on the chair for a long time. After listening to Li Qi's words just now, he really came to terms with some things.
If you help such an unpromising son, not only will he not notice it, but he will think that you are harming him.
How could he trust his family property to be handed over to such a person?
Li Jinyuan stood up and shouted, "Prepare the car."
Zhang Juexia didn't expect that Li Jinyuan would be so impatient.
Li Jinyuan pointed to the chair in front of him, motioning Zhang Juexia to take a seat, "Niece, I don't have any other intentions.
I just want to ask you what you think about the shop."
Zhang Juexia noticed the fatigue on Li Jinyuan's face and said, "Uncle, if you are short of money, I can lend it to you for emergency use."
Li Jinyuan laughed heartily, "Juexia, it seems that uncle did not choose the wrong person.
Uncle came to see you because he thought you and Yingyue were good sisters.
Since you sisters can get along together, your personalities must be similar.
As expected, your personality is very similar to my daughter Yingyue.
No, you have a better temper than her.
Now that we have come to this point, I will tell you the truth: my family is not short of money.
My uncle just felt tired and didn't want to run the shop anymore.
But my uncle has a special bond with these shops, and he wants to find a good buyer for them."
Zhang Juexia was also frightened after hearing what Li Jinyuan said. "Uncle, I remember that the Li family has several shops in Shunhe County. Are you planning to sell them all?"
“There is this plan.
However, I'll sell the hot pot shop first and make other plans later."
Zhang Juexia thought about it and decided not to pretend this time, so he said directly, "Uncle, I plan to buy that hot pot shop.
But, I wonder how much silver you plan to sell it for?"
Li Jinyuan looked at Zhang Juexia seriously and said, "Hasn't your husband already gone to the pawnshop to inquire about the price?
On top of that price, I'll give you another 20% discount.
How is it? Do you feel uncomfortable calling me uncle?
Zhang Juexia hadn't expected Li Jinyuan to be so forthcoming. She had no use for the draft she had prepared. "Since Uncle is so forthcoming, how can I not give you my respect and make the deal?"
“I just like dealing with happy people.
Let’s go and complete the necessary formalities now.”
Zhang Juexia chuckled, stood up and poured a glass of water for Li Jinyuan, "Uncle, don't worry.
I'll ask my husband to accompany you there later. After we've completed the formalities, I'll ask him to treat you to a delicious meal at my shop.
You can choose hot pot or barbecue, and drink as much wine as you want."
Li Jinyuan picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp, "Okay!"
He had noticed that Zhang Juexia was hesitant to speak, "Juexia girl, just say whatever you want to say!
It's not like you to be so hesitant."
"Since my uncle asked me to speak, I spoke.
I just want to ask, are you selling your uncle's other shops?"
"You want to buy it?"
"That's the plan."
Li Jinyuan sighed, "I sold the hot pot shop because of my disappointing son. He blocked all my escape routes.
I can't seem to think of a better way out than selling the shop.
As for the other shops, I would like to try my best to get them.
After all, I'm not too old to move yet.
I just decided that I would never let my unpromising son get involved in business again."
"I was a bit abrupt, uncle, please don't blame me."
Li Jinyuan shook his head, "Uncle doesn't blame you.
Uncle envies you!
You are young and in your prime years, there are so many things you can do!
When my uncle was young, he was as capable as you."
"I heard Yingyue talk about it. She said that everything the Li family has now is largely due to my uncle."
"Did Yingyue really say that?
She didn’t blame me?”
After Li Jinyuan said this, he felt that he had lost his composure, "Juexia, don't be offended!"
"Why do I feel that my uncle and I are so polite to each other today?"
