Chapter 248: An Acquaintance
"No, one hundred and twenty taels, 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.
Agreed.
Late noon.
He took forty taels of silver and sent it to the Feng Escort Agency.
Feng Biao and his companions scolded 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 over."
In the courtyard of the brokerage firm just now, Li the broker walked up to a middle-aged man holding a paper contract.
Said respectfully.
"Well, you did a good job. Next month's salary will be increased by two taels."
"Yes, thank you, shopkeeper." Li Yaren was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Just now, it was just a scheme between him and the shopkeeper.
Even though everyone is hated by the Bai Family Snack Shop now, after a while, the people in the town will forget about it, and if they sell it again, they can make at least two hundred taels or more.
As for the pawnshops in the town, they were all run by his master.
How could someone who runs such a big dental practice only do 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 Chinese character "川".
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 seized. 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 and relieve my fatigue."
Bai Qianshan stretched out his hand, wanting to use two ounces, 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 of silver under the bed.
He smiled.
Turned 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 even opened Bai's Snack Shop in the original shop. It was so bad. Fortunately, the food they made was awful 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 whole story clearly.
"Bai's Snack Shop, his surname is 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.
"It's Bai Qianshan and 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 greatly surprised.
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 the size of 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 slapped her lightly on the butt.
"Put the dough away before you come over. 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 leave the house. Please forgive me~"
His funny look made everyone laugh.
"Okay, what a funny guy." Zhang Jinlan also laughed out loud.
"That Wan, yes, it's me..." Kong Mingxue stammered halfway through his words and then tightly closed his lips.
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 put in. "
There was a hint of gloom in Kong Mingxue's eyes.
Looks like he's very sad.
"Don't be sad. Your grandfather might have been reborn into a good family in his next life. He might have reunited with your grandmother and continued their marriage."
Jiang Tongmu urged him to speak.
"Pah, pah, pah, please don't curse my grandmother. She has suffered all her life. If she were to marry that beast of a thing, my grandfather, she would be in such bad luck. I wish my grandfather would die soon. Such a person who favors his concubine and kills his wife should go to hell!"
What Jiang Fubao could not have imagined was...
This is actually the reaction of Kong Mingxue.
He just spat three times and then warned Jiang Tongmu and Meng Bujiu.
"You boy, don't learn from my grandfather's concubine in the future, otherwise I will break up with you! It's true that if you dare to take care of me, I'll tell your grandfather and let him beat you up! I just couldn't do it just now because my mother, she is beautiful and should have a good time, but she was blown by the concubine's side, and her grandfather married her to my father.
My father is ugly, but he loves my mother terribly. He worked hard to make money so that my mother could live a good life. If my father had not doted on my mother for more than ten years, my mother would not have walked out of the shadows. I just feel sad for my mother, but fortunately, she is living a happy life now. "
Thinking of his mother, Kong Ming smiled gently.
Jiang Fubao's face was full of black lines.
No, why is this kid so disappointing?
Although Uncle Kong is not good-looking, he is fat and round, like a big ball.
But it’s not that ugly.
How could one say that his father is ugly in person? If Uncle Kong heard it, he would be extremely angry.
She is different.
She thinks her father is the most handsome.
Mother is also beautiful.
They are a perfect match.
"Daddy, I want a hug."
Jiang Fubao walked to the stove and stretched out his arm to Jiang Siyin.
The cuffs of the shirt were loose, so they slipped from the wrist to the armpit.
Two arms as white as lotus roots were exposed.
White, soft and plump.
Jiang Siyin's eyes were full of love.
Although he looked frail, 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, which is called daddy is afraid that you are not full.
She continued eating helplessly.
