Chapter 307: Effortless
On the third day, Song Lao Er finally couldn't hold on any longer.
When asked, Jin Ya was dumbfounded.
"What did you say? You want to reduce it by fifty taels! Gold Tooth, you are kidding me."
Jin Ya was no longer polite to Song Lao Er, and immediately drove him away with a sullen face, "If you don't believe me, just go away and ask somewhere else. I don't have to do business with you."
Having said that, Song Lao Er had no choice but to carefully agree to the deal.
Looking at the numbers on the deed, his heart ached.
This is almost like cutting flesh and bleeding.
This price is too low. If he wasn't in urgent need of money, he would never sell it even if he was crazy.
Jin Ya took the deed and wanted to take it away, but he couldn't hold it in his hand. He saw that Song Lao Er's fingers were tightly holding the deed and he would not let go.
"Why, do you regret it?" He chuckled, the gold on his front teeth dazzling. "If you regret it, don't sell it. Don't blame me if you can't sell it after a few days of lowering the price."
After he finished speaking, Song Laoer's hand loosened suddenly.
He gritted his teeth and thought, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
As long as you please Lord Li and work hard, you won't be able to make money in this government office.
At this moment, Lord Li, who usually shows off his might, was kneeling on the ground with a look of horror on his face, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Pei, Master Pei...I, I...I have done something wrong."
Lord Li's lips were trembling, it was really because of Pei Ji's reputation.
Wherever he goes, it means that the emperor is going to settle accounts, which is really scary.
Pei Ji picked up the teacup, his expression normal. He sniffed the tea fragrance before letting out a suggestive smile. "Master Li's tea is really good."
Lord Li's heart skipped a beat, and his voice trembled. "Pei, if Lord Pei likes it, I'll pack it up for you and take it away..."
"If my nose is correct, this tea must be this year's tribute. Lord Li is already drinking the Rain Dragon Well tea, known as "one ounce of tea is worth ten ounces of gold," and he even serves it to guests with ease. This job in the government office is a good one. It seems I'll have to ask the Emperor to change my job so I can emulate Lord Li and finally drink the Rain Dragon Well."
Lord Li was in a state of confusion. "Pei, Lord Pei, please talk things over nicely."
"Say, what do you say?"
"If I have done anything wrong, I beg Master Pei to spare my life. Master Pei, everything is at your disposal."
Seeing that the time was almost right, Pei Ji changed his previous indifference and smiled a little more. His white robe was spotless, but it gave people a feeling of great oppression.
Lord Li even felt that he could hardly lift his head.
Although the other person is not very old, the feeling of oppression is very strong.
When was the last time? He was so comfortable in this position that he almost forgot there was someone above him.
Song Lao Er went to the government office and placed a stack of banknotes in front of Lord Li with an expectant look on his face.
He looked excited, waiting for what Lord Li would say.
"This silver?" Lord Li gritted his teeth.
It was all for this grandson. If it weren't for this grandson, he wouldn't have to be so frightened. He didn't know how he had offended that evil spirit, so he came here specifically to use threats and inducements.
Song Lao Er lowered his voice and made faces.
"Master Li, this is a gift to you. I didn't understand the rules of the government office before. This is it, isn't this to make up for it?"
Lord Li didn't even look at the stack of banknotes. He was thinking carefully in his mind, who on earth did Song Laoer use to get in? Who on earth was trying to harm him?
"Master Li..."
"What are you yelling about? You want to give me this silver as a filial gift! You are so unfilial."
Song Lao Er shrank back in fear at the sudden loud noise. "Master Li, are you saying that this silver is... not enough?"
Lord Li curled his lips and said, "Nonsense, you're using this little money to pay off a beggar."
In the past, this amount of money would have been enough, or even not too little.
But now, in order to save himself, Song Lao Er has no choice but to die.
Anyway, he offended someone, so it's not his fault.
Song Lao Er's smile suddenly turned bitter. "This, this is my last bit of silver, Lord Li...this, this."
He had a sad face, but Lord Li became even angrier. "What's this, ...
"Yes, yes, yes, I will leave now." Song Lao Er didn't dare to take the silver. He just wanted to raise more silver as soon as possible.
Lord Liao, who was not far away, looked at Song Lao Er thoughtfully and walked slowly to Lord Li.
"Master Li, is there something wrong with Master Song?"
"This time, I'm afraid we've got some trouble. You have to help me, otherwise no one will be in trouble."
The Song family was in chaos. No matter how much Song Laoer argued, Old Mrs. Song insisted that she had no money.
She rolled back and forth on the couch, crying, "You are just bullying an old woman like me. I have given you all the money for my coffin. What else do you want from me?"
Song Lao Er was extremely anxious. He was short of money now. If he couldn't raise it, all the money he had spent before would be wasted.
As soon as I returned to the courtyard and told her about this, Aunt Song said thoughtfully, "Mother should still have some money on her."
Song Lao Er looked puzzled. "How can you say that? Aren't our farm and shop all here?"
Second Aunt Song shook her head, "You don't know, these things belong to the Qiao family."
"Qiao family? That Qiao family?"
"The third daughter-in-law's family."
"What does this have to do with the third daughter-in-law's family? Hasn't the third daughter-in-law cut off contact with her family for a long time?"
Second Aunt Song curled her lips, a hint of envy in her eyes. "She wants to distance herself from the matter, but the Qiao family is still attached to her. There are quite a few gifts sent to her throughout the year, and my mother quietly keeps them. The remaining ones are carefully selected and sent to the eldest wife. If I hadn't seen them by chance, I wouldn't have known that she had such good things."
"Why didn't you tell us about this earlier? They keep everything behind our backs!" Song Lao Er said angrily.
Mother is too partial. Why does she only think of big brother when it comes to benefits? Am I not her son?
Second Aunt Song was also a little embarrassed. "Even if I told you and there was a commotion, what would happen? The eldest wife was very powerful back then, and it wouldn't be good for us if we told her. That's why I didn't tell you, so that you wouldn't feel bad if you knew..."
At this time, Song Lao Er was suddenly moved, and then he thought, if he hadn't given it to himself at the beginning, his eldest brother would be locked up now, and he didn't know whether he was dead or not. It's time for these things to belong to his family!
I just need some money, so just take it out and fill the gap.
He must get the money no matter what.
