Chapter 216 The shop has long changed hands
Watching his brothers, sisters and brothers being beaten, Qin Lang didn't dare to say a word.
In the end, Qin Dalang and his companions were all thrown out of the Qin residence by the people from the He residence.
The servants of the He Mansion said to the onlookers, "These thieves came to our house to steal things and were caught, but they refused to admit it. Everyone should stay away from them."
Minister He ordered people to prepare a carriage and move all the things in the house back to the He Mansion.
At the same time, He Jiaojiao was also taken back.
Only Qin Lang and Old Lady Qin were left in the huge house, without a single servant to serve them.
Not a single bit of the food was left for the family.
Qin Lang had no money on him, and he had a lot of foreign debts that had not been paid off when he prepared the betrothal gifts for marrying He Jiaojiao.
He went to borrow money to treat his mother's illness, but he couldn't borrow a penny.
What he didn't know was that Minister He had already made a warning, and no one wanted to get into trouble.
Qin Lang was worried about his mother, so he often made mistakes while on duty and was scolded.
After finishing his shift, he was stopped by his third brother and sister, who forced him to pay money.
Qin Lang felt that the situation was a mess. How could he afford to pay the money now?
"Brother, you can't just ignore our lives. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be hurt like this."
"My eldest brother was seriously injured and can't get out of bed. My eldest sister-in-law is taking care of him at home. The doctor said that without money, he may not live for more than three days." Qin Yuelian said crying.
"Yes, second brother, all the money in the family was spent on your studies, and there was no money left for me and my elder brother. Now we are injured because of you. If you don't give us money for medical treatment, we will die at home sooner or later." Qin Sanlang also complained.
Qin Lang's head hurt a little.
It's like a mess.
He was used to a good life before, so whenever anyone in the mansion needed money, he would just tell Lin Zhiyi to ask for it.
He never imagined that one day, people would ask him for money.
"You guys go back first, let me think of a solution."
"go back?"
Qin Yuelian's eyes were red as she asked, "Second brother, when did you become so cruel?"
In the past, when Lin Zhiyi was her second sister-in-law, her second brother was not like this.
Now that I think about it, Lin Zhiyi's second sister-in-law treated them very well.
She suddenly missed Lin Zhiyi a little. If she were still there, they wouldn't have to live on the streets.
Qin Lang frowned.
He Jiaojiao's place is no use, where can he get the money?
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he can't bear to watch his family members die of illness.
Lin Zhiyi’s dowry, yes, Lin Zhiyi’s shop and farm.
He remembered that Lin Zhiyi brought many shops as her dowry, but no one in the family knew how to manage them, so they were still managed by the servants of the Lin Mansion.
Lin Zhiyi always put enough silver and money in the accounting office.
Therefore, he had never thought about these shops before, and was only thinking about the dowry that Lin Zhiyi brought into the mansion.
"You guys come with me."
Qin Yuelian was delighted, "Second brother, where are you going?"
"Don't ask, just follow me."
Qin Yuelian and Qin Sanlang looked at each other and hurried to catch up.
Qin Lang didn't stop until he came to a rouge shop.
Qin Yuelian slapped her forehead and immediately realized, "Lin Zhiyi said she owns a rouge shop and always brings me some high-quality rouge. Could this be the shop?"
"If that's the case, then this shop also belongs to Second Brother. When you divorced, most of the Jingzhao Yin property was awarded to Second Brother."
Qin Lang walked in without saying a word.
Qin Yuelian and Qin Sanlang were delighted and hurriedly followed.
"Let your shopkeeper come out."
Qin Lang shouted as he entered the shop.
The waiter came forward and asked, "What would you like to buy?"
"I can't tell you, where is your shopkeeper?"
Because Qin Lang was still wearing his official uniform when he got home from work, the waiter couldn't tell what his official rank was. He just felt that Qin Lang was not someone to be trifled with as he glared and ordered people around.
So he called the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper came out to greet him, "Sir, what do you want to see me for?"
Qin Lang glanced at the shopkeeper and felt that he looked unfamiliar.
He had seen several shopkeepers come to his house to file accounts several times before, but he was sure that he had never seen this person before.
"I am the owner of this shop."
The shopkeeper paused, "What did you say?"
Qin Sanlang snorted coldly, holding his head high and saying disdainfully, "You heard right. The Jingzhao Yin awarded this shop to my second brother. This is our Qin family's shop. Why don't you bring over the account books and all the money you've earned over the past six months? Give it all to my second brother."
The shopkeeper and the waiter looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your shop? Don't we even know the owner?"
Qin Sanlang rolled up his sleeves and said, "Ah! You are such a bold slave! The owner you are talking about is not Lin Zhiyi, is she? She is just an abandoned woman that my second brother doesn't want. The shop was also awarded to my second brother by the Jingzhao Yin..."
From Qin Sanlang's intermittent words, the shopkeeper finally understood what he meant.
It turned out that the man in front of him was the unfaithful man named Qin. He had also heard that the news had spread throughout Chang'an City. As soon as the Lin family fell into trouble, he took away Mrs. Lin's dowry and married someone else.
But strangely, Mrs. Lin's dowry disappeared that same day.
No one knew where Mrs. Lin had gone, and the Qin family was almost homeless and could only rent a yard in the city.
Anyone who brings up this matter and doesn’t curse Qin Lang as an ungrateful person deserves it!
All the noble families took this as a warning to prevent their daughters from being cheated of their money and their bodies by this poor scholar.
The shopkeeper glanced at Qin Lang and said disdainfully, "Our boss's surname is Zhou, not Lin. As for the Madam Lin you're talking about, she sold the shop to us more than half a year ago."
Qin Lang's heart skipped a beat. "Sold it? Impossible. This isn't hers. How could she sell it?"
The shopkeeper's face suddenly darkened. "Master Qin, what you said is true. Our boss is naturally looking at the title deed."
Hearing the pointing and talking of several customers in the shop, the shopkeeper said unhappily: "If Sir Qin is not here to buy anything, please leave."
"I want to see your boss. This is my shop. It was ordered by the Jingzhao Yin. Even if you have made a deal, it is not valid. I advise you to hand over the shop as soon as possible, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
The shopkeeper interrupted Qin Lang.
"Otherwise, my second brother will go to Jingzhao Prefecture to sue you."
"As you please. I'd like to tell you that this shop was sold to our owner before the Jingzhao Prefecture passed the ruling. If you want to sue, go ahead and file now. Someone, kick these scoundrels out."
The shopkeeper gave an order and several shop assistants came forward.
The three of them were thrown out of the rouge shop directly.
Qin Sanlang was beaten by the shop assistant because he started fighting.
"Second brother, what should we do?"
Qin Sanlang asked while touching the wound at the corner of his lip.
