The pinnacle life starting from the son-in-law

Chapter 122

The two waited in the teahouse for half an hour before they saw Zhou Wenxin get off a carriage and quickly walked into the gate of Zhou's house.

Ye Qingyi turned to look at Xia Mengmeng, and said with a smile, "We should go, go get our 25 taels of silver!"

Xia Mengmeng was a little worried, "Relax, what should I do if Zhou Wenxin doesn't give it?"

Ye Qingyang waved his hands when he heard the words, "What are you afraid of? With Lao Hu and Lao Duan here, Zhou Wenxin dare not give it. Without my talking, Lao Hu and Lao Duan can get the money back for us."

Thinking of what Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang said that day, Xia Mengmeng relaxed a little.

After giving tea money, the two left the teahouse and walked towards Zhou's house opposite.

When he came to the door of Zhou's house, Ye Qingqing stepped forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, a servant of Zhou's family poked his head out from the door. When he saw it was Ye Qingqing, he was taken aback for a moment, and then put his face away. waved.

"Go back quickly, our young master hasn't come back yet, so come back next time!"

After hearing the servant's words, Xia Mengmeng frowned, and was about to speak, but Ye Qingqing said with a smile, "It turns out that your young master is not at home, but it doesn't matter."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingqing paused for a moment before continuing, "When your young master comes back, tell him that Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang in the yamen are looking for him. If he doesn't see us again, they will look for your young master." gone."

When the servant of the Zhou family heard these words, his expression changed immediately, and he said cautiously, "Go back first, and when our young master comes back, I will definitely tell him what I said."

Ye Qingqing nodded, and pulled Xia Mengmeng away from the gate of Zhou's house, but he didn't go far, but stopped when he reached the opposite side of the street.

Xia Mengmeng looked at the gate of Zhou's house, and said bitterly, "We saw Zhou Wenxin go home, but they said they were not at home. He must have lied to us because he didn't want to see us."

Having said that, Xia Mengmeng turned her head to look at Ye Qingqing, and said angrily, "Why don't we break in, Zhou Wenxin is clearly at home?"

Ye Qingyi shook his head, and said flatly, "Is it worth the effort for such a little money?"

Speaking of this, Ye Qingqing's eyes suddenly brightened, and he laughed immediately, pulling Xia Mengmeng, pointing to the other side, "Look, Mengmeng, who is here?"

When Xia Mengmeng heard the words, she hurriedly turned her head to look, but saw that Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang that Ye Qingqing had just mentioned were walking towards this side.

When Xia Mengmeng saw these two people, her frown suddenly relaxed, "Relax, go and stop them!"

Ye Qingyi shook his head, "No need, they will come over!"

Sure enough, Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang saw Ye Qingqing and Xia Mengmeng from a distance, without any hesitation, they immediately walked towards this side quickly.

"Master Ye, you are indeed here!"

Ye Qingqing cupped his fists at the two of them, and asked with a smile, "Brothers, are you looking for me?"

Hu Haishan scratched his head in embarrassment, looked around, and then said in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, I was really embarrassed for taking so much money from you that day. I always wanted to do my part for Mr. Ye, but always Mr. Ye could not be found."

Duan Rentang also said with a smile, "Young master Ye, we two brothers will come here every day when we patrol the streets to see if we can meet you. Unexpectedly, we actually met you!"

Ye Qingqing immediately laughed when he heard the words, "It's a coincidence that the two elder brothers came here. I was going to ask for the bill, but Zhou Wenxin was clearly at home and refused to see us. We have nothing to do. The two elder brothers came unexpectedly." gone."

"Humph!"

After hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Hu Haishan snorted coldly and said angrily, "Zhou Wenxin is really nothing, and he doesn't want to return the money he owes to others."

Having said that, Hu Haishan turned his head to look at Duan Rentang, "Old Duan, let's go, we have taken so much money from Mr. Ye, we should do our best."

Duan Rentang sneered, "You don't even want to return Mr. Ye's money. I think Zhou Wenxin doesn't want to mess around."

While speaking, the two of them were already walking towards the gate of Zhou's house!
Ye Qingqing looked at the backs of Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang, turned his head to look at Xia Mengmeng, and said with a low voice, "Mengmeng, let's go, let's go and have a look!"

When Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang came to the gate of Zhou's house, they were not polite, they knocked hard on the door and shouted loudly.

"Zhou Wenxin, come out quickly..."

Not long after, the Zhou family member who just opened the door for Ye Qingqing poked his head out from the door, and saw two yamen servants, his expression changed suddenly, he hurriedly opened the door, and walked out from the door, bowing his waist and clasping his fists Said.

"You two poor masters, our young master is not at home..."

"shut up!"

Before the servant finished speaking, Hu Haishan interrupted sharply, "Do you know the consequences of lying to us?"

Duan Rentang also said loudly, "Someone saw Zhou Wenxin come back just now, you still dare to hide it, do you want me to take you back!"

When he said this, Duan Rentang shook the iron chain in his hand again.

Hearing the crisp sound of the iron chain, Ding Zhou's face turned pale with fright, and he said in a trembling voice, "I..., I...."

Hu Haishan stepped forward and pushed Zhou's family member hard, and said angrily, "What are you, why don't you call Zhou Wenxin to me quickly, it's too late, you have to go with me!"

Seeing this, Zhou Jiajia Ding knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he hurriedly responded, turned around and ran into the courtyard.

Seeing Zhou's family member entering the courtyard to call for someone, Hu Haishan turned his head to look at Ye Qingqing, and said with a smile, "Young Master Ye, don't worry, I'm going to give you back the money owed by Zhou Wenxin today."

Ye Qingqing smiled and cupped his fists, "If I can come back today, I will never treat the two of you badly."

Hearing this, Hu Haishan waved his hands hastily, "Master Ye, you are too polite, it should be done."

Last time, Ye Qingqing directly gave Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang 5000 taels of silver.

This is not a small amount of money. That night, looking at the bank notes in his hand, Hu Haishan, who always lay down and slept, suffered from insomnia that night.

On the second day, when I went to the yamen with two dark circles under my eyes, I saw that Duan Rentang was not much better, and he also went to the yamen with two dark circles under his eyes.

Having obtained so many benefits from Ye Qingqing, plus this matter, Ye Qingqing is not at fault, so Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang pushed the boat along the way. On the one hand, they wanted to sell Ye Qingqing's favor, and on the other hand, they also wanted to express their gratitude. Affection.

Not long after, Zhou Wenxin, who was a little pale, walked out of the Zhou family's courtyard quickly, saw Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said.

"The two elder brothers..."

Before Zhou Wenxin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Haishan waving his hand, "Mr. Zhou, don't talk nonsense. We are here this time because Mr. Ye said that you haven't paid back the money you owed him, so we rushed over to see See if it's true."

As soon as Hu Haishan's words fell, before Zhou Wenxin could speak, Duan Rentang on the side smiled and said, "Old Hu, look at what you said, how can the dignified Zhou family not pay back the money..."

Having said this, Duan Rentang paused, turned his head to look at Zhou Wenxin, and then continued, "Young Master Zhou, am I right?"

After hearing Hu Haishan and Duan Rentang's words, Zhou Wenxin's complexion suddenly changed. His already pale face seemed to become even paler.

"You two bad guys, it's not that Mr. Zhou doesn't pay back the money he owes, but that the amount is really too big, and it's just that we haven't made up enough for a while."

After hearing Zhou Wenxin's words, Hu Haishan snorted coldly, "Mr. Zhou, don't blame our brothers for talking too much. If Mr. Zhou wins that day, our brothers will definitely go to ask for money for you.

But you did that kind of thing, and you really can't blame others. There is no way, you say, how long will it take to pay back the money? "

Zhou Wenxin said with a mournful face, "You two poor masters, it has cost too much money to buy goods in the store during this period of time. I'm afraid it really won't be all together in a short period of time. Please forgive me, you two poor masters. Difficulty."

Hearing Zhou Wenxin's words, Hu Haishan didn't know whether it was true or not, and he didn't want to chase too closely. After all, everyone is from Pingyang City. It would be bad if they hurt their peace because of this matter.

Hu Haishan turned his head to look at Ye Qingqing, and asked tentatively, "Young Master Ye, what do you mean...?"

Ye Qingqing frowned when he heard the words. He didn't believe that Zhou Wenxin couldn't even raise 25 taels of silver.

It's just that Zhou Wenxin didn't want to give it on purpose, so Ye Qingqing didn't have a good solution.

Although he could go to the yamen with Zhou Wenxin, Ye Qingqing really didn't have that much time because he was leaving Pingyang City the day after tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingqing said with a smile, "Young Master Zhou, I understand your difficulties..."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingqing paused for a moment before continuing, "Young Master Zhou, it doesn't matter if you don't have all the money, I don't force it, and I don't mind if you have something that can be paid off."

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Zhou Wenxin's heart suddenly moved, and he asked tentatively, "Young master Ye, there are really not many things worth 25 taels of silver, but we have an old house at home, and we originally wanted to sell it, but , has not been sold yet.

If Mr. Ye is willing, can he use this house to cover the debt? "

When Ye Qingqing heard this, he laughed immediately, he was really sleepy, someone gave him a pillow, and he was about to buy a house, so Zhou Wenxin gave it away.

"can!"

After hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Zhou Wenxin sneered in his heart, but on the surface he sighed, "Young master Ye, I owe you 25 taels of silver, but this old house of ours may cost more than 25 taels of silver. If Mr. Ye wants it, I'm afraid he will have to give me some more money!"

After hearing Zhou Wenxin's words, Hu Haishan was furious, "Young Master Zhou, there is no one in the world who is the one who pays for it. The meaning of paying the bill is that you take the money from Mr. Ye with this house, why do you want Mr. Ye to take the money instead? "

Zhou Wenxin said, quickly waved his hands, "Don't get me wrong, my old house is indeed not worth 25 taels of silver!"

Having said that, Zhou Wenxin paused, turned his head to look at Ye Qingqing, and then continued, "Young Master Ye, our old house is on the same street as the Xia Mansion. It's small.

If Mr. Ye takes over, as long as he takes care of it a little bit, he will definitely be able to sell more money, and he will definitely not lose money. "

Hearing Zhou Wenxin's words, Xia Mengmeng couldn't help but frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Zhou, are you talking about the house in the east of our house that no one lives in all the year round?"

Zhou Wenxin nodded hurriedly, or said, "You still remember clearly, it's that house, Miss Xia, isn't it a good place?"

Seeing that Xia Mengmeng knew about that house, Ye Qingqing hurriedly asked, "Mengmeng, how is that house?"

Hearing this, Xia Mengmeng pulled Ye Qingqing far away, and then said in a low voice.

"I know the house that Zhou Wenxin is talking about. The yard is not small. Although it is not as big as ours, it is okay. However, the whole yard has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is almost uninhabitable. If you want to live in, you have to rebuild it. gone."

Having said that, Xia Mengmeng paused for a moment, before continuing, "I'm afraid it will cost at least 20 taels of silver if you want to renovate such a big house?"

Ye Qingqing heard the words, but waved his hands indifferently, and said with a smile, "Mengmeng, it doesn't matter, just tell me, are you satisfied with that place?"

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Xia Mengmeng nodded lightly, "The place is very good and close to home, but even if we buy the house, you have to renovate it, which will cost too much money."

Speaking of this, Xia Mengmeng sighed, "It's easy, we'd better get the money back, and spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a smaller house, which can save a lot."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing took Xia Mengmeng's hand, "Mengmeng, you don't have to worry about the money, if you are satisfied with that place, then we will take that house."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingqing paused for a moment before continuing, "Although the place is broken, it doesn't matter. We'll tear it all down and re-cover it at worst."

Xia Mengmeng frowned, "But, I'm afraid it will cost more than 20 taels of silver?

Where are we going to find that silver? "

Ye Qingqing heard the words, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll figure out a solution for the money, as long as you are satisfied with it."

After saying these words, Ye Qingqing dragged Xia Mengmeng back to the crowd.

Ye Qingqing didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "Mr. Zhou, we want this house. Tell me about your conditions?"

After hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Zhou Wenxin sneered in his heart.

This house is his own house, so he naturally knows what's going on inside!

If the house in the house could be lived in, it might be sold for 100 million taels of silver, but Zhou Wenxin knew that Xia Mengmeng also knew the house, so naturally he didn't dare to ask for the price.

"Young Master Ye, our son is worth 80 taels of silver..."

At this point, Zhou Wenxin paused, and after some calculations in his heart, he continued, "I owe you 25 taels of silver, so you only need to give me another 55 taels of silver."

"no!"

As soon as Zhou Wenxin finished speaking, Xia Mengmeng exclaimed before Ye could speak easily.

"Young master Zhou, even if you sell your house in a dental shop, I'm afraid it won't sell for 80 taels of silver, right?"

After hearing Xia Mengmeng's words, the smile on Zhou Wenxin's face remained unchanged, "Miss Zhou, I'm not talking about those things now, I just want to say, do you want this house? If so, give me 55 taels of silver ...."

Having said this, Zhou Wenxin's tone paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for Xia Mengmeng to answer his own words, he continued on his own.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that there are several families who want to see the house in the past two days. If I hadn't been busy these two days, the house would have been sold long ago.

Miss Xia, you have to think about it carefully, do you want this house? "
