Chapter 247 The Bai Family Sells a Shop

I just thought that it was my disappointing son who had caused trouble again.

"You actually picked up garbage and sold it to customers in your shop. You are so audacious! I am here to inform you that you must compensate Feng Biao and others with ten taels of silver each! If I still don't receive your compensation within seven days, I will seal up your shop and you will never be able to open it again in your lifetime!"

After the steward finished speaking, he didn't even look at her.

He took the officers away.

Feng Biao, who was standing aside, walked to the center proudly.

"Remember? Send 40 taels of silver to Feng's Escort Agency within seven days. Otherwise, not only will the manager not let you go, we won't let you go either. If you don't want someone to break into your house and torture you every night, then pay the money honestly!"

Feng Biao spat at the door.

Then he crossed his hands, put them behind his head, and walked away swaggeringly.

It was almost noon, and he had to take his brothers to Jiang's snack shop for lunch.

"Oh no, my dear father, it's all over, it's completely over—"

Frightened, Wanzhen closed the door and ran into the house.

He actually woke up Bai Qianshan who was sleeping soundly.

"Are you sick? Are you having a seizure so early in the morning?"

Bai Qianshan is grumpy when he wakes up.

He threw the pillow at Wanzhen.

I turned over and continued to sleep.

"Hurry up! What's so early? It's already late. The manager of Baishi Street came just now and asked us to pay those four people 10 taels of silver each. If we don't pay 40 taels within seven days, our shop will be closed.

What should we do? The manager said that we will be sealed off for life. Then, we will not be able to sell or rent it out. You should think of a solution quickly. Where do we have 40 taels? All 4 taels are gone."

Wanzhen was hit and couldn't care less about being angry.

Her mind was now full of thoughts about where to get forty taels.

"What? The manager is here? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Hurry up and get me some clothes. Let's go to the pawnbroker and ask the pawnbroker to rent out our shop. Then you can sell your jewelry and clothes. There are also a dozen books in the study. Sell them all. Hurry!"

Our family depends on that shop for food and drink.

It opened for a few days and then closed.

Bai Qianshan, who wanted to make a lot of money from his shop to marry a new wife, got drunk last night.

As a result, he heard the bad news early in the morning and was completely awakened by fear.

No, if the shop is closed, what will they eat and drink in the future?

It doesn't matter if my son is unreliable.

The shop is gone.

I really have to sell my house.

He lives very comfortably in this house.

There are front and back yards, the house is big and the location is not bad.

If he sold it and moved into a small house, how would he have the face to brag to his friends in the future?

For Bai Qianshan, it’s not okay to pretend.

It’s better to die.

"You've sold all the jewelry I have. There are only two or three left. If I sell them, what will I wear in the future? Besides, I haven't made new clothes in two years. Who would buy my old stuff?"

Wan Zhen was so angry that he was speechless.

Whenever something goes wrong, he would take her jewelry.

The father and son have the same virtue.

It's fine now.

She also wanted to sell her clothes.

She really regretted marrying this loser.

"Alright, alright, stop talking, let's go to the dental clinic and ask first."

Bai Qianshan was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he quickly put on his clothes and took Wan Zhen out.

But what awaited him was that all the pawnbrokers in the town were unwilling to help him close their shops.

"Li Yaren, you can help me hang it up. The rent is only one tael per month. If you want to ask for a higher price, it's up to you. The extra money will be given to you. The minimum rent is three years, and you must pay us thirty-six taels in one lump sum."

Bai Qianshan counted the money left in his family, the cash in his pocket, and the money from selling his jewelry, clothes, and books.

Just enough.

There's still some food and drink left.

By then the limelight will have passed.

If you use some tricks to drive away the new tenant, wouldn't you make a fortune?

Unfortunately, Bai Qianshan had a nice idea.

But the reality left him dumbfounded.

"The whole town knows about your trouble. Feng's Escort Agency has warned that anyone who dares to shut down your shop will be in trouble with Feng's Escort Agency. Mr. Bai, look at you, you are not even secretive about what you are doing. You must have run into a tough guy, right?

I think it was the people from Feng's Escort Agency who deliberately messed with you, hoping that your shop would be closed down by the manager. Sigh, I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it. This shop is not mine, so I can't help you."

When Li Yaren was speaking, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face for a second, but disappeared in the next second.

He looked at Bai Qianshan sincerely.

"What can I do? If it really doesn't work, you can just help me put it up for sale! At worst, after paying the money, we can use the rest to buy a shop somewhere else. It's the same, except the rent will be lower."

Bai Qianshan was as anxious as a crab in a pot. As Li Yanren finished speaking, the temperature in the pot became higher and higher.

He paced in place.

The whole person was panicked.

"Since it can't be hung, then renting or selling it is the same. However, I do have a solution."

Li Yaren's eyes rolled.

He moved closer and spoke in a low voice.

"What? Li Yaren, just tell me. If this matter can be resolved, I will definitely buy a shop from you next time I buy one."

Bai Qianshan's eyes lit up.

So does Wanzhen.

"I went to persuade our shopkeeper to buy your shop, but the price can't be too high. Of course, you either can't sell it, or you can only pawn it. The price will be even lower. I heard that the Wangyue Food House next to your shop, which is haunted, wanted to pawn it.

The pawnshop only gave them 150 taels, so Wangyueshizhuang has been selling. Your shop is much smaller than theirs. Even if you sell it at the normal price, it can only be sold for 400 taels at most, and that’s only when the situation is particularly good. Now, 350 taels is the most, I’m afraid...”

Li Yaren was halfway through his speech.

Looking at the couple.

"What are you afraid of? Tell me quickly." Bai Qianshan was extremely anxious.

"I'm afraid the pawnshop can only give you ninety taels at most! After all, a shop that haunts ghosts is almost the same as a shop that eats bad people. So, I can make the decision on behalf of my shopkeeper and spend one hundred and twenty taels to buy your shop. If you agree, I will go and tell the shopkeeper. If you don't want to sell it, then I'll forgive you for not sending it to me."

Li Yaren finished speaking.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Since it was broken tea, he did not forget to spit out the tea leaves.

The profound image just now disappeared in an instant.

"What? One hundred and twenty taels? With that price, even if you rent our shop, you can only rent it for five years. It's too little. I won't sell it to you."

Bai Qianshan was so angry that he pulled Wan Zhen away.

Li Yaren was not in a hurry at all.

Waited for about half an hour.

Then Bai Qianshan and his wife came back dejectedly.

"How about one hundred and thirty taels?"

He went to ask all the pawnshops in the city, and the price they quoted was ninety taels.

This guy really got it right.
