Chapter 247 The Bai Family Sells Their Shop at a Low Price
I just thought that it was my disappointing son who got into trouble again.
"You actually picked up trash and sold it to customers in your shop. How audacious! I'm here to inform you that you must compensate Feng Biao and the others with ten taels of silver each! If I don't receive your compensation within seven days, I will seal up your shop and you will never live happily ever after!"
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, but we won't 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 arms, held them behind his head, and walked away with a swagger.
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, Wan Zhen 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.
Turned over and continued to sleep.
"Hurry up and get up! It's already late. The manager of Baishi Street came and asked us to compensate the four people with ten taels of silver each. If we don't pay forty 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 won’t be able to sell it or rent it out. You have to think of a solution quickly. Where can we get 40 taels? All 4 taels are gone.”
Wan Zhen was hit and had no time to get angry.
Her mind was now filled with thoughts of where to get the 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 him to rent out our shop. Then you can sell your jewelry and clothes. There are a dozen books in the study. Sell them all, too. Hurry!"
We rely 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 the shop and marry a new wife, got drunk last night.
As a result, when he heard the bad news early in the morning, he 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 the 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 the house and moved into a small house, how would he have the face to brag about it to his friends in the future?
For Bai Qianshan, it’s not okay to pretend.
It’s better to die.
"What jewelry do I have? You've sold them all. There are only two or three left. If I sell them again, what will I wear in the future? Besides, I haven't made new clothes for two years. Who would buy my old stuff?"
Wan Zhen was so angry that she was speechless.
Whenever something goes wrong, he would try to take her jewelry.
The father and son are of the same character.
it's good 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. He quickly put on his clothes and took Wan Zhen out.
But what awaited him was that all the dental clinics in the town were unwilling to help him close their shops.
"Li Yaren, you can help me hang it up. In this way, 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 give us thirty-six taels at once."
Bai Qianshan counted the money left in his family, the silver in his pocket, and the money from selling jewelry, clothes, and books.
Just barely enough.
There's still some food and drink left.
By then the limelight will have passed.
If you use some tricks to force the new tenants away, you will make a lot of money.
Unfortunately, Bai Qianshan’s idea was just beautiful.
The reality left him dumbfounded.
"The whole town knows about what you did. Feng's Escort Agency has warned that anyone who dares to hang out with your shop will be in trouble with Feng's Escort Agency. Mr. Bai, look at you guys, you are not even secretive about what you do. You must have run into a tough guy, right?
I think the people from Feng's Escort Agency are deliberately messing with you, hoping that your shop will 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 with sincerity.
"What can I do? If it doesn't work, 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, just a little less rent."
Bai Qianshan was as anxious as a crab in a pot. As Li Yaren finished speaking, the temperature in the pot became higher and higher.
He paced in place.
I was completely panicked.
"Since it can't be put up for sale, then renting or selling it is the same. But, I do have a solution."
Li Yaren's eyes rolled.
He moved closer and whispered.
"What? Li Yaren, just tell me. If this matter can be resolved, I will definitely buy a shop from you in the future."
Bai Qianshan's eyes lit up.
Wanzhen is also.
"I'll go and persuade our shopkeeper to buy your shop, but the price won't be high. Of course, you either can't sell it, or you can only pawn it at a pawn shop, then the price will be even lower. I heard that the haunted Wangyue Restaurant next to your shop wanted to pawn it before.
The pawnshop only gave them 150 taels, so Wangyue Food Manor has been selling it. Your shop is much smaller than theirs. Even if you sell it at a normal price, it can only be sold for 400 taels at most, and that’s when the situation is particularly good. Now, 350 taels is the most you can get. 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 haunted shop is about the same as a shop that eats bad people. So, I can make the decision for 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 giving 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 all the pawnshops in the city and the price they offered was ninety taels.
This dentist was right.
