Chapter 210
Xu Chunjun came back from the outside, and as soon as he entered the door, Aunt Feng greeted him.

She is the wife of the housekeeper Zheng Long.

"Grandma, you are back." Seeing Xu Chunjun's return, Aunt Feng's expression eased a lot.

"But what's the matter at home?" Xu Chunjun asked her as she walked in.

"Grandma, don't worry, let me tell you slowly." Mrs. Feng said looking at Xu Chunjun's face.

"I'm not in a hurry, just tell me." Xu Chunjun smiled, since she entered the door, the Zheng family had never seen her angry and anxious.

"As soon as Grandma left this morning, a lot of people came outside our house. All of them were debtors. There were 30 people in total," said Aunt Feng.

"Need a debt? What kind of debt do you want?" Xu Chunjun asked as he walked in without stopping.

"Yes... the uncle owed it outside." Mrs. Feng always felt that if Xu Chunjun knew the truth, he would be angry, so she was a little hesitant.

"Where are all these people?" Xu Chunjun asked.

"The housekeeper wanted to persuade them to disperse, but these people didn't say anything. It would be really ugly to let them stand outside the door. So I invited them in, and now they are all staying in the guest room." Mrs. Feng Say.

"In that case, I'll go and meet you." Xu Chunjun said, "You lead the way."

Mrs. Feng agreed to go ahead, and Xu Chunjun followed her to the guest room.

When I arrived, I saw that it was full of people, both men and women.

"This is our great grandma, and now all the grandmas are in charge in this house." Aunt Feng said.

The chief housekeeper Zheng Longben was in this room, and when he saw Xu Chunjun arrived, he hurried over to pay his respects.

Those who came to ask for the bill also got up and saluted Xu Chunjun either respectfully or casually.

"Everyone, please sit down!" Xu Chunjun said very politely, "I kept everyone waiting for a long time, you came here in the morning, you must have not eaten yet?"

Some of them were polite to Xu Chunjun, and said: "Thank you, grandma, for asking us. We are rough, we don't eat every meal, and we don't feel hungry."

There was only a middle-aged man with a flat face and toad eyes, who spoke rudely: "Don't divert the conversation, if you have the time to pay back the money owed to us, we will go out to eat and drink."

Before Xu Chunjun could speak, Zheng Long choked him back: "Zhu Lao Wu, please be more polite!"

Aunt Feng also said: "Grandma, don't be as knowledgeable as him, he is a rough person, and his words are harsh!"

"Okay, then I'm sorry, let's start with you." Xu Chunjun said to the frog-eyed man.

"I'm from Bacai Casino. Your uncle owes us a total of 780 taels of silver from March to now. Wipe off the change and give us 30 taels." Toad Eye said.

"I'm from Chunjiaoyuan," said a middle-aged lady dressed in fancy clothes, "My uncle owes us 410 six taels for drinking, let's count it as 400 taels."

These people reported the accounts one by one, and Xu Chunjun listened silently.

How absurd Zheng Wuji is, it can be seen from the book.

The bills he owed include the gambling bills from the gambling house, the money for drinking and drinking, the money for clothes and shoes from the tailor shop, and even the money for birds from the flower and bird shop, and the money for incense in the temple...

There are so many things, they add up to nearly 3000 taels.

In the end, the person who came to collect the bill from the silk and satin shop was older and spoke politely: "Grandma, we are all in business. If we don't make money, shouldn't we close the shop? According to the rules, every year should be closed before August [-]th." The account was settled. But we also discussed it, and you only came in in August. If we came at that time, we would have sincerely troubled you. That's why we waited for more than a month, and we didn't come to the door until now. Let's talk about it and discuss it, let's see if we can settle our account."

After he finished speaking, everyone echoed: "That's right, we've done our best, grandma, don't make things difficult for us who need to pay, how many people in the family are waiting to eat!"

A grandma in the Earl's Mansion was surrounded by a group of people to ask for a bill, and this situation was overwhelming for most people.

Usually, when Fang was in charge of the house, if someone came to ask for the bill, she would not dare to come forward, and only sent the housekeeper and the lady in charge to pay back the bill.

"Everyone must be thirsty after talking for a long time. Come and have some tea." Xu Chunjun ordered his servants to serve tea.

"There's no need for tea, grandma, let's have a good talk." The person from Chunjiao Hall said.

"Yes, yes, we didn't come here for tea." Everyone followed suit.

They didn't drink tea, Xu Chunjun did, sat there and finished a bowl of tea slowly, before he said: "Thank you all for allowing us so many days, but now the uncle is not at home, I have a short time to come in, It is also impossible to see whether these IOUs are true or false.”

"What do you mean? Don't admit it?!" Toad's eyes became anxious, and he stood up and questioned.

"Master Zhu Wu, right?" Xu Chunjun said softly, "Everyone says harmony makes money, why are you so angry? I didn't say no to paying it back, but it's hard to confirm now."

"Then grandma means..." Someone took the conversation one step further.

"Our family will definitely pay back this account. Please rest assured about this." Xu Chunjun gave everyone present a reassurance, "According to me, I will wait for the uncle to come back and verify it before paying it back. Mr. It's been a while since I left home, and I'm sure I'll be back in a few days. To be honest, it's not too late for everyone, right?"

Those who want to pay are whispering to each other. They originally made an appointment to come to the door together, so of course they have to advance and retreat together.

In the end, the person in the silk shop said: "I think the grandma should be reasonable. If she doesn't see us today, we can't rush in to find her. Besides, she wants to check with her husband, which should be it. Just think about our family. If a person owes a bill, don’t you just pay it back without even asking?”

"That's what you say, but what if she's reckless when the time comes?" Some people were still hesitant, "In the past, when their wife was in charge of the house, as long as we came to the door, they would definitely give it directly. Even if there was no money, they would still take it." It's much happier than her when things arrive."

"One moment and another, how can people be the same?" Some people expressed their understanding.

Finally, after discussing for a long time, the people from the silk and satin village said to Xu Chunjun: "Grandma is a spoiled guest, since she told us, of course she has to give her face. Then we will make a decision, and we will come back when the uncle comes back." At that time, grandma, please don't shirk it anymore, our small business can't afford to be in arrears like this."

"Don't worry, I will never lie to you." Xu Chunjun said, "Let's wait for the uncle to come back and verify the accounts clearly. We will definitely pay it back."
