Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 141

The next day Zhixin took Jinghan to find shopkeeper Sun, but shopkeeper Sun agreed very much, so Zhixin agreed with Jinghan to buy the restaurant.Jinghan was worried about the good location of the restaurant, fearing that someone would snatch it away, so the father and daughter went directly to the county seat by car.

The father and daughter rushed directly to the restaurant, and after finding the owner, they discussed the matter of setting up a shop.The two sides bargained back and forth, and finally settled on a deal of 760 taels.Zhixin saw that it was getting late outside, so he left a deposit of 100 taels, and then both parties wrote a document, and when they got witnesses tomorrow, they wrote the deed directly.

When the matter was settled, Jinghan was very happy, and the father and daughter came to Pengcheng's house.

The next morning, Zhixin and Jinghan brought some gifts and went to Lu's house first.Now the two families can be regarded as relatives. The last time I came here in a hurry, I couldn't go to visit. Of course I have to go this time.

Both Lu Binghao and his father were officials outside, and only Lu Binghao's grandfather and two uncles were at home.As soon as he heard that it was from the Xu family, Lu Binghao's uncle, that is, Zhixiang's father-in-law, came out to meet Zhixin.Lu Wanting's father, named Lu Shaoqian, was less than 50 years old, and he could tell at a glance that he was handsome when he was young, with a smiling face, which made people want to make friends with him as soon as they saw him.When the two sides met, Wanting's father kept asking about the Xu family's situation.Hearing that both the old man and the old lady were fine, they kept nodding their heads.

"This farmer's family doesn't have any free time. It just so happened that the youngest daughter and son-in-law moved to the county town this time. Taking this opportunity, I came here to visit my uncle." Although Wanting's father is not very old, he is Zhixiang's. Father-in-law, so Zhixin called him uncle very respectfully.

"Nephew Lao is worried about it. There are too many things on our side, and it is very complicated. I always want to go to see my old relatives, but I don't have a chance. Nephew is here this time. Why don't we stay for a few more days? Relatives are also much closer." Lu Shaoqian stroked his beard and said.

"To be honest with my uncle, my nephew came to the county this time to buy property in the county. Gouzi is studying in the county school now, so my nephew wants to set up a shop. On the one hand, I will do some business, on the other hand You can also take care of the dog nearby. If this is done, the little nephew will have to bother uncle in the future." Zhixin came to the Lu family, and he also wanted to ask them to help him as a witness, so he didn't hide anything, and directly took the disk The matter of the shop was revealed.

When Lu Shaoqian heard this, he became interested, so he asked Zhixin where the shop was and what it was for. "I also know that restaurant. The location is good, but what do you say? The business is so-so. His food tastes so-so, and the servings are a little small, so the business is just tepid. If you It’s okay to come down, just change two other cooks and start working again. That place is indeed good. I think it’s a good thing. By the way, when will you write the deed? I’ll be your middleman in the past, so that he won’t fool you .”

"My nephew came to see my uncle for that reason. After all, my nephew is not familiar with the county seat. If my uncle is willing to be a witness in the middle, that would be great." Zhixin said quickly, "It is decided that we will meet today. I don't know if my uncle has the time to write the deed.

"What else is there? I'm idle at home, let's go, get down to business first. When things are done, you can have a drink with me." Lu Shaoqian smiled.

Here Lu Shaoqian brought a steward from the family, and then went to the restaurant with Zhixin and his daughter.As soon as a few people got there, they saw the original owner of the restaurant standing in the middle of the room, sighing there.Zhixin coughed, and the man raised his head to see Zhixin, and he didn't seem a little excited, but had a troubled look on his face.

"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" Zhixin asked a little strangely.

"Oh, don't mention it. The two of us have already agreed to write the deed today, but I didn't expect that the people from the Qin Mansion came just now and said that the big housekeeper of his family had taken a fancy to my restaurant. I told him that the After going out, they asked me to return the deposit to you, and they asked for it. Brother Xu, it’s not that the elder brother is unjust, the Qin family is a tyrant in the county, and I really can’t afford to offend him. Brother Xu , I will return your deposit to you, you should think about a place elsewhere. If I insist on giving you the restaurant, you will be in trouble in the future." The man shook his head and sighed while talking.

"The Qin family is also bullying too much. These years, no one has the same knowledge as him who has bullied men and women in the county. This is great, and it has become more and more rampant." When Lu Shaoqian heard this, he immediately became angry.Both the Qin family and the Lu family are very powerful families in the county, but the Lu family has always treated others modestly and never did such things like bullying others.The Qin family also knew that the Lu family was not easy to mess with, so they never dared to provoke the Lu family. The two families did not interact like this, and there was no conflict.

In fact, the Lu family had been dissatisfied with the Qin family for a long time, but there was no chance, so naturally it was not easy to explode. "Nephew, don't worry, let alone a steward of the Qin family, even the old man of the Qin family, we don't need to be afraid. I don't believe it yet, let's make a deal first, right? Yes, he is so beautiful." The Xu family and the Lu family are related by marriage, if the Xu family has no face, will it be different to slap the Lu family in the face?

Only then did the owner of the restaurant notice that the person next to Zhixin turned out to be the third master of the Lu family, "Oh, it was the third master Lu who came. The villain really didn't see it just now, and I hope the third master will forgive me."

Lu Shaoqian waved his hand and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Li, you're welcome. You've been frightened by the Qin family, and you're in a panic. Let me tell you, you don't have to worry about this at all. You're going to move out soon Yes, we both wrote a deed to hand over the money, and you just take the money and go. No matter how capable he is, the Qin family can follow you to other places? I don't believe the rest of the side, the Qin family can take it What am I doing?"

As soon as shopkeeper Li heard what Lu Shaoqian said, he kept looking at Zhixin, secretly thinking about the relationship between the Lu family and the Xu family.I've never heard of the Lu family going to fight the Qin family before, what's going on this time? "Since Mr. Lu said so, why should I worry about it? I was worried that brother Xu would not be able to screw the Qin family, and I was afraid that he would lose his money and the restaurant would be robbed. Since there is Mr. Lu , then don’t worry, no matter what you want to come to the Qin family, you won’t dare to offend the Lu family.” Shopkeeper Li felt relieved at this moment, “Speaking of which, I really want to give the restaurant to Brother Xu, so the Qin family’s money , I’m afraid he won’t be able to give it to me at all. Even if he does, it’s just a matter of money. I’m still pointing at the money and going back to my hometown.”

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and write the deed quickly. After the delivery is over, you should take your family and leave quickly, so as to save the Qin family from trouble with you." Lu Shaoqian knew that the Qin family was difficult, and this matter We have to do it quickly.

So the two parties wrote a deed, and then Zhixin handed over the remaining silver taels to shopkeeper Li, and the restaurant was considered to be sold.Shopkeeper Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, the things had already been packed, and now he led his family to hire a carriage and left quickly.

Lu Shaoqian also took Zhixin with him, and went directly to the county government office, and went through all the procedures for the transfer of ownership of the restaurant. "With all this, what can the Qin family do? If he dares to act violently, I will ask my elder brother to talk to his brother directly."

"Thanks to my uncle being here this time, otherwise, this matter would have been really difficult." After the matter was over, everyone returned to Lu's house, Zhixin said.

Jinghan was on the sidelines and kept silent all the time, but now she spoke, "Grandpa Lu, Jinghan has something to ask Grandpa Lu, how many Qin families are there in this county?"

Lu Shaoqian smiled, "There is a Qin family that has harmed many people. How can there be another family? His family has committed too many crimes and doesn't even have a son. This is retribution."

After hearing this, Jing Han confirmed what she thought in her heart, and turned her head and said to her father, "Daddy, do you still remember what happened to the third uncle back then? It seems to be from the Qin family too, right?"

Zhixin listened and thought for a while, "Yes, it's from the Qin family. At that time, I remember saying that Mr. Qin had no son, so the concubine lost a child, and said that there was a problem with the medicine prescribed by your third uncle. It can't be the same family. Bar?"

As soon as Lu Shaoqian heard it, he asked what was going on, and Jinghan was quick to tell what happened back then.When Lu Shaoqian heard this, he slapped the table angrily, "It's too bullying, the Qin family is really bullying people, 500 taels, he really opened his mouth like a lion. Binghao and Zhixiang should have gone to the capital at that time, or else Binghao Hao will definitely help. Unexpectedly, there is such a past in it. We also heard about that incident, and we only heard about it later. That's why the little concubine lost her child. I think your third uncle was made a scapegoat, alas."

It has been a long time, and even knowing the truth now is useless.But in Jinghan's heart, she really firmly believed in letting all the men of the Xu family take the imperial examination.They didn't take these seriously before, but now it seems that if a family wants to change their destiny, they really have to take the imperial examination route. "Grandpa Lu, if the Qin family finds out that our family has taken over the restaurant, will they come to make trouble?"

"If he dares, I will release the word tomorrow. Xu's family is the in-laws of the Lu family. If he dares to be shy, I will really deal with him. I have disliked him for a long time, but I didn't find a chance. This is a new and old grudge. If the elder brother finds out, he must be dealt with." Now that Lu Shaoqian's elder brother, that is, Lu Binghao's father, has returned to the capital, he is serving as a servant in the household department. Most people would not dare to offend him.

Zhixin quickly stood up and bowed to Lu Shaoqian, "For my nephew's matter, I have to work for my uncle, my nephew's heart is really uneasy."

Lu Shaoqian waved his hand, "It's nothing, they are all relatives of my family, the affairs of the Xu family are the affairs of the Lu family."
