Mother didn't want this either, and she regretted it a lot, but if she didn't become shrewish and not to be trifled with, then her family's land would be taken away by others.
So even though he was beaten, he still felt sorry for his mother. He wanted her to live a good life and didn't want her to associate with those shady people anymore, or to sell herself for land and money.
Everyone else said that his mother was very dirty, but Tian Youwei didn't think so.
At that time, Tian Youwei said a lot more. Widow Ye always thought that her son didn't know, but it turned out that he actually knew everything. The biggest reason why she was threatened by Zhang Laizi was that he said that if she didn't obey, he would tell her son everything and see how she would survive when everyone abandoned her and even her only son didn't want her.
But now I hear what my son said.
These were things she had never heard before. Widow Ye sobbed silently until Tian Youwei and Da Wa had already left, at which point she collapsed weakly to the ground.
My heart was filled with complex emotions. I sat there until dark, until all my tears had dried up, before dragging my numb legs and limping back home.
Then she almost completely ignored Zhang Laizi, but Zhang Laizi was not someone she could get rid of so easily.
The hottest part of the day had passed, and Yin would be back soon. As a result, more and more people from the village came out to see what was going on, and they gathered together to chat about making jelly.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the end of the village road.
"You're back?" Why so early today? Could it be that you really couldn't sell them?
Or perhaps they were already sold out long ago.
The villagers at the village entrance stared at the figure. Gradually, some recognized him as Qian Tiechui, one of the six households. He was panting heavily as he ran back home.
Everyone was initially surprised and delighted, but seeing the solemn and terrified expression on his face, they felt... it seemed... not to be a good thing.
Before he even got close, the villagers were already asking him a barrage of questions.
Qian Tiechui's throat was parched, but he didn't have time to drink a sip of water. "No...this is bad."
The villagers, who were initially filled with trepidation, are now on tenterhooks.
Things have definitely gone wrong.
"Is it that the goods can't be sold?"
Qian Tiechui gasped for breath, "No...no, everything's sold out, but...but..."
He didn't finish his sentence, which made the villagers anxious and kept urging him on. But what was it? What happened?
"The Yin family is in deep trouble! It's all over! What are we going to do about the five taels of silver outside?"
After briefly explaining the situation, Qian Tiechui began to wail.
The Yin family has offended a powerful figure, and they will definitely not be able to sell things outside anymore. They rely on the Yin family. If the Yin family collapses, what will happen to all that money?
Just then, the village head arrived.
Upon hearing the news, he originally planned to go to the county town to say a few good words for Lady Yin, but when he heard that Lady Yin had offended the county magistrate, he immediately deflated like a wilted eggplant.
"It's all over, it's all over."
The county magistrate is known for holding grudges. Yin Shi made a fortune in the county town but didn't give him any tribute. The magistrate was probably already unhappy about it. Besides, there were countless secret dealings between Shangyin Crane Tower and the magistrate, which they all knew a little about. Now it seems that Yin Shi is really finished.
Seeing that even the village head was helpless, it seemed that there was really no way to turn things around.
"It's alright, just ask the Yin family for the money back. It's such a large sum of money, how could they possibly embezzle it?" No one around said anything, after all, it was indeed a huge amount of money.
Widow Ye spoke softly, "Business deals are all done with signatures and seals, it's a matter of mutual consent, how come it's now being portrayed as someone being greedy?"
Qian Tiechui choked for a moment, unable to speak.
The people kept whispering among themselves.
Those who had no money gloated, while Qian Tiechui, who only had money, was so regretful that he sat on the ground and wept bitterly.
After a while, a bullock cart finally appeared at the village entrance. This time, instead of being envious, everyone felt quite sorry for it.
In the future, Lady Yin will have to live like everyone else. As expected, doing business is not an easy thing. She is a woman, and she is indeed not good at it.
As the oxcart drew closer, the expected sullen expressions did not appear. The Yin family, however, were all smiles, while Chen Yourun remained expressionless, revealing nothing.
"Big brother, second brother, you two go back first."
The village head first sent the child away.
Then he said, "Mrs. Yin, this matter is alright. As for the loss of some silver, we won't sell it in the county town anymore. But since the business with the Qian family can't continue, we should return the five taels of silver to them. What do you think?"
Yin Lan was somewhat puzzled.
But seeing Qian Tiechui's appearance and remembering that he had left before the matter was resolved, she gradually understood.
Her expression became somewhat intriguing.
Before she could explain the situation, Qian Tiechui staggered over and knelt down. "Mrs. Yin, and eldest son of the Chen family, please have pity on me! That money was all we saved by tightening our belts. We offended the wrong people. You were the ones who made the mistake. You shouldn't have withheld my money, right?"
Yin Lan: ....
"So, what do you want?"
"Give me back my money. This isn't my responsibility. I'm not doing it anymore. I'm not going to do that kind of thing with you." This was originally what his wife Fei wanted to do. He had already said that this was unreliable. Five taels of silver! Maybe this Yin Shi just wanted to embezzle the money. After all, if the business really made money, who wouldn't keep it to themselves and make a fortune? Why would they be willing to share their business with others?
The more he thought about it, the more sense it made, and Qian Tiechui completely made up his mind.
"Don't want to do it?" Yin Lan was a little disappointed, but actually, that was to be expected. When she signed the agreement, there was no explanation of what would happen if other situations arose.
Although she bears some responsibility for the situation, doing business inherently involves taking risks. There's no such thing as making money while leaving all the risks to others.
Besides, once you learn how to make this, you can sell it in other places even if you don't sell it in the county town.
"Have you thought it through?" Yin Lan asked.
Qian Tiechui nodded repeatedly, "Refund the money, refund the money. Besides, you made us lose work today. We also spent some time learning that thing before, so you have to pay us."
Yin Lan was speechless.
She looked at Chen Yourun, who nodded and said, "Let it go. There's no point in dealing with someone like that."
"I can refund your money, but you can't teach the method I taught you to anyone else. If you are found out, you will have to pay ten times the amount of five taels of silver in compensation. Please sign and put your fingerprint on this agreement."
Qian Tiechui didn't even consider this thing. Business was too risky, and he had no desire to do it. So he agreed immediately.
There was paper and pen in the car, so the contract was quickly written out.
