Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 48 I want one hundred taels

Yan Guangfeng calmly took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Xihe, "Lawyer Jiang, this is my income and expenditure in the three years since I took over Wensi Hall. The orphan and rare books were all bought at high prices. , although pens, inks, paper and inkstones are profitable, the profits are small. When I took over Wensi Hall, I spent some money to repair it, and I also invested a hundred taels inside and outside. "

Jiang Xihe took it and flipped through it briefly, reminding him, "Where's the debt?"

"Most of the books are bought on credit from bookstores, and some have been left unsold for many years. Wen Sitang is a small business, so we should have paid for the goods first, but over the years, some people have taken the books first and given the money later, and some books have not arrived. I gave the advance payment first, so when the balance is balanced, Wensi Hall can barely maintain it.”

Yan Guangfeng explained clearly and handed the details to Yan San, "Third brother, look at it. I am not capable of running the family business left by my father. You can take over. Brother, thank you."

Yan San has been shaken and started to retreat, but Wen Sitang is not running well, and Yan San is still worried about that house, "Second brother, why don't Wen Sitang just close down, and the money from the sale will be divided among the three of us brothers."

Jiang Xihe looked unhappy, "Mr. Yan, you said it yourself just now. If you don't want Wen Sitang, what are you going to do with Boss Yan's land?"

Yan Da looked at Yan Guangfeng and finally understood the intention of his younger brother to find the lawyer and the county magistrate today.

"Second brother, this is because my eldest brother can't help you." Yan Da regretted that he had been sitting on his hands all these years.

Yan San didn't understand the situation. He thought that if he stopped farming and couldn't make much money with all his hard work, he might as well sell Wensi Tang and do whatever he wanted with the money.

Seeing Yan San's calculating expression, Jiang Xihe continued, "Since the three of you have your own ideas, let's do the math again. The Yan family's ancestral home is now owned by the three of you brothers, and now there is another Wensi Hall, with farmland Uncle Yan and Third Master Yan each have an acre in their hands, but it belongs to Boss Yan, right?"

Yan Da thought about the current situation and understood, "Second brother, the eldest brother will have to rely on you in the future. Now it's my own fault. The eldest brother has to plant the land. In the past, for the sake of my brother, this was the way it was. In the future, I will do it every year." I'll rent you money, or you can sell me the land, and I won't do anything stupid again."

Jiang Xihe lightly clapped his hands and looked at Yan Guangfeng, "Boss Yan, in this case, I have a suggestion. It's not easy for Brother Yan. You might as well give him the land. As for the money..." Jiang Xihe pretended to be thoughtful, "No. To settle accounts, how about exchanging the Yan family’s ancestral home?”

Yan Da frowned. He was satisfied with the 150 taels of silver that his fourth sister took away, but he was reluctant to give up the house for 150 taels of silver. However, compared with the house, the cultivated land was more valuable.

After much deliberation, Yan Da said, "I accept Lawyer Jiang's proposal, but if we move out of the house and have no place to live, how will we live?"

Yan Guangfeng said, "Brother, don't worry about this. The house was left by my parents. I don't want to sell it. If the farmland brother can manage it properly, my parents will feel at ease."

Jiang Xihe glanced quickly at Yan Guangfeng, who received her signal and silently lowered his hand.

Jiang Xihe said earnestly, "It's not easy for Brother Yan. For the sake of brotherhood, how about Boss Yan offering another fifty taels of silver? Brother Yan can find a suitable house with this money. Take your time, no matter what." The cultivated land now belongs to Boss Yan. When Brother Yan sold his land, didn’t he spend the money on himself?”

It was very embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing on the table. Yan Da blushed slightly. After all, he had no conditions for negotiation other than a few rooms in his ancestral home.

No more than fifty taels, no problem in getting a place to live, and the key points belong to him. From now on, he will have someone to rely on, and he will have nothing to do with his second brother.

Yan Da nodded in agreement.

Yan Guangfeng brought a pen and paper, and the two brothers signed and stamped their signatures. Yan Da blew the ink stains and said to Yan San seriously, "The three of us brothers are able to get to this point. Fortunately, the second brother is humble. You can do whatever you want."

Yan Dalin said to Yan Guangfeng when he went out, "Although we have separated our families, our brotherhood has been lost."

Yan Da kept his brother's kindness in mind. After all, he exchanged his house for land and took fifty taels of silver from his brother. He would not suffer any loss. Only Yan San was left in the room. His mind was not as fast as Yan Da's, and he never figured out what would be more suitable. However, only now did Yan San understand that Jiang Xihe and the county magistrate were sitting here to participate in the division of the Yan family. Home.

With the last problem left, Jiang Xihe relaxed a lot and turned his head to look at Pei Zhizhao. Pei Zhizhao received her eyes that wanted to be praised and suppressed his emotions secretly. There seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth. Jiang Xihe wanted to see clearly. In a flash, he Still the same cold face.

Jiang Xihe cleared his throat and said to Yan San, "Mr. Yan, look here. Do you want to keep the ancestral home? Take Wensitang? Or return Boss Yan's cultivated land?"

Yan San said nothing.

Jiang Xihe was in a good mood and helped Yan San analyze, "Boss Yan asked me to write a complaint. Brother Yan and Yan Simei have already signed and signed and left here. Now you are the only defendant in my complaint."

Yan Sanyi was startled and looked at Pei Zhizhao.

Jiang Xihe sighed and shook his head, "You see, it's useless for anyone. Now it depends on what you think. I said, there are three choices. I believe that Boss Yan, caring about family ties, will definitely let you get what you want, right? , Boss Yan?”

Yan Guangfeng stepped forward, walked to Yan San, and said softly, "Third brother, if you want Wensi Hall, the farmland and ancestral home must belong to me. When my father passed away, he also said the same thing. In these years, second brother, I have not I owe you.”

Yan San knew this well. He and his eldest brother didn't want Wen Sitang, so they occupied the ancestral home and lived there.

"Third brother, Wen Sitang's books are not worth anything if they are sold in bundles. If Third Brother sells Wen Sitang, will he really be worthy of his dead parents?" Yan Guangfeng was heartbroken, his voice choked with sobs, "If the fourth sister hadn't come back to cause this, The relationship between us brothers and sisters is quite good, look at it now." Yan Guangfeng's eyes turned red, "It's better not to be too clear, otherwise my parents will die in peace."

Yan Sanlue lowered his eyes. His parents are gone, and those who are alive should live well. "Second brother, I also want to live well, but the situation does not allow it."

Jiang Xihe was impatient, "Then tell me, what do you want?"

"The ancestral home belongs to me, I don't want anything else." Yan San mustered up his courage and finally shouted.

Yan Guangfeng sighed, "Come on, sign and stamp, the ancestral home is yours."

Yan San was a little unbelievable. He thought Yan Guangfeng would bargain with him.

"But you have to remember that the ancestral home is the root of the Yan family. You have to pass it on from generation to generation and cannot sell it."

Yan San's heart was shocked, what did he want the house for? He wants to sell it and make money! In this case, "Then I am just like the elder brother, but I want one hundred taels!"

This was much better than Yan Guangfeng expected. He looked at Jiang Xihe gratefully. After hearing Yan San's decision, Jiang Xihe was looking at Pei Zhizhao with a smile.

The afternoon sun poured in through the window lattice and shone on Jiang Xihe and Pei Zhizhao in fragments. The girl was cute and smart, and the man was deep and wise. When Yan Guangfeng saw this scene, he thought the picture was very beautiful.
