Chapter 7 Contract
Li Ang walked in a hurry, passing through the neighborhood, and as soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw two middle-aged men standing at the door of the Baoantang pharmacy, ready to knock on the door.

One has dark skin, a small beard, and holds a paper fan in his hand, while the other has a chubby figure and looks kind-hearted. He is playing with two Wenwan walnuts in his left hand, and one with a string in his right. wooden box.

Yu Miaoshui, and Ai Rong, the leader of the Xinglin Society in Wuzhou City.

Li Ang narrowed his eyes, put the volume of "Supreme Qing Inspiration Chapter" under his arm, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said hello, "Doctor Yu, Ai Huishou, the two of you are."

"Rising Sun, I'm waiting for you."

Ai Rong waved his hand with a smile and handed out the wooden box, "This is a set of Xuan pens and inkstones that I bought in Xuanzhou some time ago. I heard that you are going to participate in the provincial exam this year, and I wish you success."

"Thank you Ai Huishou for your kindness."

Li Ang glanced at the wooden box, but did not take it, and said lightly: "However, if the two of you are here today for the security hall, then there is no need.

Although Li Ang is not talented, he has no idea of ​​selling his house. "

"This"

Ai Rong frowned, while Yu Miaoshui next to him slapped his folding fan, raised his hand and rubbed his small beard, and said lightly, "It's hard to say if it's your house or not.

President Ai? "

Ai Rong sighed softly and said to Li Ang, "Risheng, please bring us into the house first, it's more troublesome to talk about."

Li Ang glanced at the smug expression on Yu Miao Shui's black and thin face, frowned slightly, turned and led the two to the back door of the Security Hall.

For shops with front and back yards like Bao’an Tang, the outside of the shop is usually not locked, but only the inside of the door is secured with a bolt or door lock.When the main door is closed, the host and guests enter through the backyard door.

Li Ang unlocked the backyard door and took Ai Rong and Yu Miaoshui into the Baoantang store.

These two people were obviously not good people. He was not in the mood to ask the maid to boil the water. He moved the door by himself to let the sun shine in. Then he poured some warm water from the kettle that was boiled in the morning, and sprinkled two pieces of tea leaves. tea.

"Ah."

Yu Miaoshui took the warm teacup, took a sip at random, placed the teacup gently on the wooden table, cleared his throat and said, "Risheng, your father and I are old acquaintances. , is a role model for physicians in Kuangzhou.

And our Xinglin Club has always had the purpose of helping each other and helping each other in the same boat.

Let's put it this way, I am willing to pay 180 guan, plus a house on Anlin Street in the east of the city, and ten acres of paddy fields outside the city,

Purchased Bao'an Tang and three acres of medicinal fields under the name of Bao'an Tang.

180 guan to pay for living needs, the house is used for living, and the paddy fields can be rented out to tenant farmers for an annual rent. "

Yu Miaoshui closed the paper fan with a smile, took another sip of tea, and said proudly: "All together, it will be enough to raise your livelihood for the next ten years, I even brought the land deed, as long as you sign it, then go The yamen report it, and it will be able to move to the house on Anlin Street at night."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, "I refuse."

"That's right. Huh? What?"

"I reject."

Li Ang repeated it, and said lightly: "Since Doctor Yu is willing to offer such a high price, it is naturally impossible to continue to operate the Baoantang safely.

If my father is in the spirit of heaven and sees the Baoantang turned into a place where you sell your 'Wanling Mung Bean Soup' or other 'medicine and medicine', he must not rest in peace. "

Li Ang increased his tone on the words "Wanling Mung Bean Soup" and "Fuyi Magic Medicine". Ai Rong on the side showed an embarrassed look, and Yu Miaoshui narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of hatred appeared on his darkened face. .

In his life, he hated those doctors and doctors who called him a blessing doctor.

"Humph."

Yu Miaoshui's eyes were as cold as frost. Some time ago, he stole it, and from a rural old man, he half-received and half-snatched a prescription called Heihu Dan, which was made from Tian Nanxing, Xionglao, Eucommia and other medicinal materials. It can cure limb pain, joint swelling, and unfavorable flexion and extension.

He intends to follow the example of other medical families in the world, so that Jifutang under his name will only sell black tiger pills as a secondary medicine from now on. Rolling in money.

And the Baoantang, which is adjacent to the Kuanshui River and can easily use the waterway to sell medicines to any city in Jiangnan Road, is an indispensable piece of the puzzle in his plan.

This pharmacy, this piece of land, he wants to settle.

"Do you really think that this security hall belongs to you?"

Yu Miaoshui sneered, "Ai Hui is the head?"

Ai Rong, who was beside him, sighed softly and took out a piece of paper from his arms.

"This is the description of the title deed and house deed for the second edition of Bao'an Tang."

Ai Rong said: "I don't know if your father told you, but when he built the Baoantang 17 years ago, he borrowed money from the public account of the Xinglin Society.

At that time, the former president of the Xinglin Society was not me, but a deceased old physician in the south of the city.

The contract stated that in June of the third year of the Yongzheng, your father would borrow 150 guan from Xinglin, and repay 150 guan after two years, [-] guan after five years, and [-] guan after ten years, for a total of [-] guan.

If all the money is paid off, then this security hall will belong to your father from now on,
If after 17 years, that is, in June of this year, the 150 guan is not available, then Xinglin Club has the right to take back the real estate of Baoantang and not refund the previous accounts. "

Ai Rong put the paper on the table, pushed it in front of Li Ang, and explained, "Compared to the high loans from banks and temples, Xinglin will give members double the principal in ten years, which is already considered kind.

This description, your father has a version A, Xinglin will have a version B, and the yamen has two copies, all of which can be checked. "

Li Ang glanced at the signatures, fingerprints, and the patterns around the paper. There was no problem. In his memory, he seemed to have heard his father Li Hanquan mention that the family lost a contract. version etc.

He silently put down the contract and looked at Ai Rong and Yu Miaoshui calmly, "Is this, Ling Pu?"

"Where is Sunrise?"

Yu Miaoshui grinned and said, "Isn't this worried that you will be grieving during your bereavement and have no intention to deal with these chores?
If President Ai is arrogant, he can wait until the last day of May, and then bring this contract and take away the security hall directly. "

Li Ang didn't look at Yu Miaoshui at all, but asked Ai Rong: "Head Ai, I remember that the use of the public accounts of the Xinglin Club is voted by every member who pays the membership fee, right?

Didn't you mention this at the last Xinglin meeting? "

"This"

Ai Rong's face was dark and hesitant, and he turned to look at Yu Miaoshui. Li Ang knew it in his heart. It seemed that during the four months of the mourning period, Yu Miaoshui had already spent money to manage all the other doctors of the Xinglin Society in Wuzhou City. .

Even the conditions of a few days of grace will not be given.

Li Ang nodded slowly, "I understand."

"finally understood?"

Yu Miaoshui sneered, if it wasn't for fear of getting a bad reputation, he really planned to let Xinglin Society take away Baoantang's shop and land on the last day, "20 days, after 20 days, the contract time limit of 150 guan will be reached.

I see Risheng, you probably don't have the money, right?
Ha ha,

The three acres of medicinal fields under the name of Bao'an Tang can only be pawned for thirty pieces.And if you take out a loan with a high interest rate, you can barely close the hole, but with the profits rolling in, within a few months, the security hall will still fall into the hands of others.

It's better to sell the Baoantang to me now, or to save the face of the old hospital.

Otherwise, it would be miserable to wait on the streets and have to beg for food from others. "

Tapping.

Footsteps came from the entrance of the stairs. Chai Cuiqiao, who had been eavesdropping at the entrance of the stairs, trotted over, blushing, fists pressed to the waist, and yelled at Miao Shui, "You are too deceiving!"

However, Yu Miaoshui and Ai Rong didn't look at her at all, staring straight at Li Ang, who was expressionless, waiting for his reply.

brush.

Li Ang stood up from the chair, waved his finger to the open front door, and said calmly: "Please, please, come back in 20 days. By then, I will raise 150 coins."
