Chapter 211 Moving Out in Three Days
"I stole your things? You can't say anything without evidence. Today you came to my house and beat up my wife and my son. I haven't settled the score with you yet, but now you are slandering us again?
Haha, as the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce bad people, I'm talking about you. You rented my shop, and I don't ask you to please us on weekdays, but you dare to make trouble! Do you think my Bai family is easy to bully? From tomorrow on, you get out of the shop, I won't rent it to you anymore!"
Bai Qianshan's eyes darted left and right.
The Jiang family's visit was exactly what he wanted.
Just take this opportunity to chase them away.
This way the shop is empty.
He can take over the shop and sell food.
By the time the Jiang family rents the shop, I'm afraid they will have made a lot of money.
"My shop was robbed. Logically, the door lock should have been pried open, or there should be signs of break-in on the wall. The funny thing is, the door lock of the shop was intact, and there were no signs of climbing on the wall. This proves that the thief either fell from the sky or had the shop key! So who else could it be if not you? Could it be a ghost?
Besides, someone told me that he heard someone calling out in the backyard of my shop last night. It was an old woman's voice. You, Wan, were the only old woman who came to the backyard of my shop. Why did you come during the day and at night? Just to steal a bottle of wine? Your Bai family lives in such a big house, but you can't even afford a bottle of wine worth one or two silver coins?"
Zhang Jinlan was not afraid at all.
She analyzed it in an orderly manner.
But Bai Qianshan's expression suddenly changed.
What, stealing wine?
The Jiang family didn’t even mention the seasoning.
Could it be...
They didn't notice?
Who stole the wine? Besides them, was there anyone else who stole the wine?
No, we must get the Jiang family out as soon as possible. I'm afraid someone else is eyeing the Jiang family's business.
Don't let others get ahead of you.
Bai Qianshan thought a lot and continued to play dumb with an expressionless face.
"I don't know what you are talking about. You beat up my family members as soon as you came to my house. Do you think you are going to talk to them nicely? Who knows if there is any wine missing from your shop, just as you said.
I have a house and a shop, how could I be short of this little money? I'm afraid you guys want to stay in my shop, and you're afraid that we won't let you renew the lease, so you're deliberately framing us."
Bai Qianshan tried to turn the situation around.
The neighbors who wanted to see the excitement outside would think that Zhang was framing their family in order to renew the lease.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Zhang Jinlan.
"We want to renew the lease? If the lease period for your shop had not expired, I would have left long ago. Renew the lease? Even if you beg us to rent it, we won't. Stop making trouble here, you old bastard.
Since you don't admit it, then call the police, Yamato, drive the ox cart to the city gate and call the police, and tell them that our shop was robbed, and ask them to check it out. The police will decide who is right and who is wrong!"
Zhang Jinlan snorted coldly.
Bai Qianshan was so frightened that he quickly stopped Jiang Dahe.
He even closed the door.
"No, no, no, let's talk it over. How about this, close the door and let's talk it over in detail? It's not good for you or me to make such a scene. My Bai family is also a family that values face. If this scene really gets to the police, I'm afraid not only we, but you will also lose face."
The people outside who were watching the play did not leave even though there was no play to watch.
Instead, they all stretched their ears and listened carefully to what was happening inside.
"Well, if you move out, I'll help you pay the thief the one or two ounces of silver, and I'll also give you the rest of the rent. Of course, I don't want you to make trouble anymore. If something is stolen from your shop, it has nothing to do with us, so don't think too much about it. Also, I'm not afraid even if you report it to the government.
I am different from you. My Bai family is a well-known family after all. We are not like you who don't care about face and don't worry about losing face. After three days, you move out of the shop, and I will give you the remaining rent and the money for the wine. I just ask you not to make trouble again, okay?"
Seasoning at hand.
He also hired the shopkeeper.
Three days later, the Jiang family was driven away.
He can then open a shop and sell food.
He doesn't care about this small amount of money.
Worried about the Jiang family causing trouble.
Bai Qianshan decided that it was better to have less trouble than more, so he just paid some money.
Wan Zhen refused.
She got up from the ground.
He pointed at Zhang Jinlan and cursed at her, successfully arousing Zhang Jinlan's anger again.
"Is this your attitude? Fine, keep making trouble. Who's afraid of who? The worst that can happen is that you can bring trouble to the police!"
Zhang Jinlan seemed to have figured out that they were afraid of the police.
He threatened again.
Bai Qianshan quickly leaned over and whispered something in Wan Zhen's ear.
Only then did she reluctantly help her son back to the house to lie down with her daughter-in-law.
Zhang Jinlan chatted with Bai Qianshan for nearly half an hour.
When leaving the Bai family, Zhang Jinlan promised to move out in three days.
"What do you mean? I said before that I couldn't return the rent to them. Now, not only do I have to return the rent, but I also have to be cheated out of a few taels of silver by them. Why?"
Wan Zhen's eyes turned red with anger. She had never been so angry in her life.
"You are stupid. They probably didn't even notice that the seasoning was missing. Besides, with the seasoning in hand, we can make a lot of money selling food in the future. Why do we care about this? If we drive them away early, we can also make money early. Do you still have money? I promised them that I would return the remaining rent for March to them in three days."
Bai Qianshan explained.
"No, where did I get the money? You and your son have already drained it all. I really owe you. What sin have I committed in my life? Why did I marry you in the first place..."
Wanzhen started crying again.
Bai Qianshan was very annoyed.
He rolled up his sleeves and left his son's room. Returning to his own room, he rummaged through the drawers and finally found Wan's jewelry.
That evening, I took it to the pawnshop and pawned it for twenty taels of silver.
I hired a doctor for my son, and returned the rest to the Jiang family, and bought some things that could be used to open the shop.
Jiangjia Village at the same time.
Jiang Fubao was sitting on a small chair, watching his family wash green plums.
They had just finished their meal.
Because his stomach was so full, Jiang Fubao couldn't even squat down.
I even fell on my butt.
She could only watch her family busy.
After washing the green plums, don’t rush to pickle them. Instead, spread them on the table in the yard and let them dry overnight.
This way it will be completely dry tomorrow morning and can be pickled.
If the tank is empty, you should also wash it and dry it together.
The sky had already turned dark.
The moon is exceptionally bright.
The light in the yard looked like daytime on a cloudy day.
"Mom, we'll be moving out in three days. We have to rent a shop quickly, otherwise our business will be delayed." Jiang Eryong said anxiously.
"Well, I'll go look for shops tomorrow and rent one if I find one that's suitable. But it would be best if I could buy one. I just counted it and there are two hundred and fifty taels of silver in my house.
I should be able to buy a smaller one, or one that is further away. I'll go check it out tomorrow. Whether I rent or buy it, it's better than the current one. I'm really annoyed by them. Now you don't have to live in the backyard of the shop anymore."
Originally, when they went to town this morning, the eldest son and the second son both brought clothes and bedding.
Thinking of staying in the shop and sleeping.
Convenient for guarding.
But they moved out three days later.
There's no need to stay any longer.
The bed in the shop is very small.
It's really hard to sleep well with two grown men squeezing each other.
Zhang Jinlan also didn't want her sons to suffer.
