Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 32 Su Qiang’s ambition
Su Qiang came very quickly. He even changed his clothes and brought pastries to meet with Mrs. Su first. Mrs. Su was a little surprised that her eldest nephew came to the house.

Su Qiang sat slightly awkwardly in the main room and exchanged a few words with Su. Although they were aunt and nephew, the Su family didn't have much contact with Su, so there was no feeling of family between them.

Qin Xiang walked over from the backyard, still smelling of spices. She was wearing a Yang Fei color wild goose-bit reed pattern pair of fur coats, an onyx feather color gold skirt with threaded edges, and a butterfly silver hairpin and two pairs of silver hairpins on her hair. Velvet flower is more delicate and beautiful than the Qin Xiang she saw before her marriage.

Su Qiang was a little out of sorts, although he tried his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

"Mom, I invited my cousin to come home to talk. I have something to tell my cousin." Qin Xiang didn't care about Su Qiang's gaffe, but Su said.

Mrs. Su nodded clearly, then stood up and said, "You guys, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."

As soon as her mother left, Qin Xiang looked at Su Qiang and said seriously: "I invited my cousin over today for the sake of the teahouse."

How could Qin Xi not understand Su Qiang's eyes?Therefore, she suppressed her nausea and just wanted to get things done quickly.

"Teahouse?" Su Qiang's heart was shocked, and he finally looked at Qin Xiang seriously.

"Two days ago, a teahouse owner from the county approached me and wanted to buy my shop."

Su Qiang's first reaction was to stop him. He blurted out: "How can my cousin sell the shop? My aunt has to rely on it to support her in her old age?"

"My mother naturally has my daughter to take care of her in her old age, so she doesn't have to worry about anyone else." Qin Xiang choked him, then smiled lightly and said, "The teahouse was originally given to me by my father, so of course it is also my dowry. Now my husband needs to study. There was a lot of money, so I decided to sell the teahouse."

It was very difficult to get rent from that teahouse. Both of them knew that they borrowed Aza's money last time, but they didn't know what would happen next time.Therefore, when Su Qiang thought about it carefully, he understood that Qin Xiang was probably not lying.

But my family relied on the teahouse to gain a foothold in the town. If the teahouse disappeared, I would have no choice but to return to the countryside and farm.Even if you find another shop and open a teahouse, the situation will be completely different. Whether you can make money is still questionable.

Therefore, Su Qiang was flustered. When he looked at the woman in front of him, he didn't have any charming thoughts.Now when I look closely, I find that Qin Xiang has maintained a calm and calm face and eyes from beginning to end. In terms of this level of self-cultivation, she is far from adequate.

Facing the obviously anxious Su Qiang, Qin Xiang felt funny in her heart. She knew that the teahouse was their lifeblood. Unfortunately, her mother was timid in the past, and she never paid attention to these things. She was immersed in poetry, music, and fragrance. I just thought that those mundane things would make her tacky.

"Cousin, don't worry, listen to me." Qin Xiang sighed softly and said: "To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with the Su family. Not to mention the lack of contact with me before, let's talk about how my second uncle's family treated me. Our mother and daughter's cousins ​​also know about it. According to my wishes, I might as well sell the shop and get rid of it."

"However, your aunt advised me to think more carefully and not to do anything wrong. I thought about it and decided to listen to my mother's words. Alas, after all, you are my mother's relatives, so I decided to call my cousin to inform me. One sound."

"Cousin, if you don't want to think about it anymore, I'll go back and talk to my second uncle. I will guarantee the rent in the future without delay." Su Qiang was still struggling with the rent issue, and Qin Xiang wanted to call him a fool.

"My cousin has never thought about buying the shop with my second uncle. This is a once and for all thing. To be honest, although this shop is in my name, it is still the property of the Qin family. One day my father will come. , I took it back with a thought, and you didn’t even have time to cry."

The anxiety on Su Qiang's face disappeared instantly, and he was stunned for a long time before asking: "Cousin Xiang, do you mean to sell the shop to us?"

Qin Xiang nodded, having pointed it out to such an extent that she felt it was enough.

"By the way, I will only deal with my cousin about this matter. If my second uncle comes, I will increase the price."

Su Qiang swallowed, his fingers trembled slightly, and asked: "How much money would it cost to sell it to me? How much would it cost to sell it to my second uncle?" It seemed that he had finally come to his senses, and Qin Xiang smiled with satisfaction.

She guessed that Su Qiang must be an ambitious person. Even though he had never thought about replacing Su Lao Er as the tea house owner before, now that Qin Xiang presented the opportunity to him, if he still couldn't take it, he would really be a waste.

"If my second uncle comes, then 200 taels of silver will be enough. For my cousin, 180 taels will be enough."

180 taels, Su Qiang took a breath, how could he have so many?Besides, the price of the same shop in town only costs about 150 to 180 taels at most.In other words, Qin Xiang sold it to herself at the highest price, but still wanted to get a favor, which was a very good calculation.

After finally adjusting his brain, Su Qiang looked at Qin Xiang and said with a smile: "Cousin, you see, we are relatives after all. You and your aunt don't have any brothers to help you. Whenever something happens in the future, there won't even be an errand boy. Cousin , you lower the price, and my cousin promises to take care of your aunt and cousin in the future."

Qin Xiang sneered: "Thank you for your kindness, cousin. There is no need to take care of me. As long as you don't continue to take advantage of us, it will be Amitabha."

Su Qiang blushed and wanted to explain but couldn't find the right words.

Qin Xian looked at her with a sneer in her heart, but her face calmed down. After hesitating for a moment, she agreed: "Okay, I'll lower it to 160 taels, but you have to respect my mother more in the future, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay, okay!" Su Qiang was very happy. Seeing his second uncle living a carefree and comfortable life, Su Qiang dreamed of being in charge of the teahouse by himself.

The tea house's business was very good, and the money passed through his hands every day, but it was just a passing thing. On weekdays, the second uncle was as guarded against thieves, so he could only dig out some money secretly.

Su Qiang was ambitious, but he also knew that he didn't have the money to buy the two-story shop.

Where to get the money is a big question.

All the money of the Su family is given to the grandparents, except of course the second uncle.Therefore, the three melons and two dates in the hands of Su Qiang's parents were basically useless. Grandma knew that, and so did his second uncle, this road would not work.

Suddenly, he remembered someone who could help him.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else. He stood up and said to Qin Xian: "Cousin Xian will wait for a while and promise others that I will raise money. Don't worry, cousin, I will reply to my cousin as soon as possible."

Qin Xian reluctantly agreed to wait for him for a day: "The shopkeeper of the county teahouse is urging me. I can only give you one day. If you don't come after one day, I will sell it to them directly. Cousin, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Okay, I understand." Su Qiang gritted his teeth, turned around and went home in a hurry.

Tao Niang was holding the baby and running around in the yard. When she saw Su Qiang running in, she was surprised and asked, "Why are you back now?"

Su Qiang looked around and saw no one, so he whispered: "I want to find a way to go to the old place. I have something to ask you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Huang walking out of the door of the hall and asked, "Su Qiang, you are lazy again. Why don't you tell your grandparents when I return to the village and let them take care of you?"
