Rebirth starts with many children and good fortune
#58 - Chapter 58 Compromise
Seeing that the Zhu Hall Master and his group didn't harm the old shopkeeper, Cheng Feng felt a sense of relief.
In his plan, the old shopkeeper was an indispensable and important figure.
No matter how the Mei Family Tavern's business was, at least the brand was still there.
The old shopkeeper's face alone could prop up the early stages.
Why do people say old shops are good?
Because old shops are cheap, affordable, and don't cheat people, and the quality is guaranteed.
People nearby like to come to familiar old shops for a couple of drinks.
Slowly, the reputation will spread.
Cheng Feng didn't elaborate on his situation with Mei Niang.
This should be something Mei Niang tells her family first.
Cheng Feng wouldn't overstep his boundaries to do that.
Cheng Feng gave Mei Niang a look.
Mei Niang understood, it was time for her to speak.
Now that the Zhu Hall Master had come to their door, it seemed he hadn't given up.
If she didn't do as Cheng Feng said,
She would not only provoke the Green Bamboo Gang,
But also bring shame to the Iron Mountain Martial Arts School behind Cheng Feng by going back on her word.
Giving the two of them private space,
Cheng Feng wandered around alone.
Shopkeeper Mei watched Cheng Feng leave, and pulled his daughter's arm: "Mei Niang, are you alright? How did you get to know that little brother who was drinking yesterday?"
Mei Niang first knelt down and kowtowed three times to Mei Zhou, then said: "Dad, your daughter really couldn't bear to watch our family's foundation be wasted like this. In the past, your daughter was still young and could only watch Dad work hard. Now that your daughter has grown up, I also hope to protect this family business for the Mei family."
Shopkeeper Mei slammed his hand on the table, and said excitedly: "When did it become your turn to make decisions in this family? Do you still have me, your father, in your eyes? We were about to leave, but you dragged someone else into this, what if you implicate him?"
Mei Niang explained: "Dad, Cheng Feng is an inner disciple of the martial arts school. You've seen his skills. We don't have to leave anymore. We don't have to fear the Green Bamboo Gang anymore."
Shopkeeper Mei was furious: "Foolish girl, what kind of people are in gangs? They're all licking blood from the edge of a knife. Little brother Cheng's future is limitless, don't harm him!"
Mei Niang also started to cry: "Dad, where can we run to? As long as we're targeted by people from several gangs, we can't run anywhere. Either we submit and your daughter marries that pig-headed Zhu Hall Master and is ruined by him, or we find a backer. A backer with power and background can protect our family, but where can we find one?
No one else looks up to us, going back and forth isn't a good idea. Yesterday, you were drinking with Young Master Cheng, and I only dared to run out after I saw him wearing the shoes of an inner disciple of the martial arts school."
Mei Niang cried with pear blossom-like rain,
Delicate and pitiful,
But she also intermittently revealed her deal with Cheng Feng.
Shopkeeper Mei felt a headache after listening.
If the Zhu Hall Master hadn't come to the door today to look for someone,
Shopkeeper Mei would have really thought he had forgotten about the tavern.
Listening to Mei Niang's detailed analysis, and also being rescued by Cheng Feng,
Shopkeeper Mei couldn't catch his breath and fainted from anxiety.
When he woke up again, he was already at home.
Looking at Mei Niang lying beside his bed,
Shopkeeper Mei figured it out.
His old bones had really gone astray, he wasn't as open-minded as Mei Niang.
Mei Niang, who was lying beside the bed, felt the movement on the bed, and held Mei Zhou's hand, looking at Mei Zhou's face: "Dad, you're finally awake. Don't be angry, don't hurt yourself. If you want to leave, we'll leave. I won't say these things again in the future."
Listening to Mei Niang's words, Shopkeeper Mei felt even more heartbroken: "Ever since your mother left, the family affairs have basically been taken care of by you. You're already eighteen, ordinary families would have married you off long ago. It's because I, Mei Zhou, am useless and have delayed you."
On the sickbed, the father and daughter couldn't help but shed tears.
Mei Zhou struggled to get up: "Tell me seriously, what do you think of Little Brother Cheng?"
Mei Niang said plainly: "Cheng Feng has already told me that as long as we get through this, I will marry him as a concubine."
Mei Zhou was very anxious: "You know that's not what I'm talking about. What's the use of this tavern if you're not happy?"
Listening to her father's meaning, Mei Niang thought carefully. She shouldn't like him, but yesterday, Cheng Feng's appearance of fighting Zhu Hall Master's group alone suddenly appeared in front of Mei Niang.
Mei Niang said shyly: "Feelings can be cultivated. At least now, I don't dislike Cheng Feng."
Looking at the shyness flashing across his daughter's face,
How could Mei Zhou not understand Mei Niang's meaning?
Mei Zhou was finally relieved.
At least Mei Niang could live a better life in the future.
Since things had come to this, Mei Zhou could only nod and agree to this matter.
Seeing her father agree,
Mei Niang also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, herself and Cheng Feng
Oh dear, why am I thinking about these things?
At this time, Mei Niang suddenly revealed her daughterly thoughts.
Last night, Shopkeeper Mei fainted, and Cheng Feng naturally busied himself with showing off,
Carrying people, calling doctors, running around
Only after the doctor said it was okay
Did he rush home in the dark.
After noon, Cheng Feng came to the door again with gifts.
Mei Niang naturally received Cheng Feng.
It was dark last night, so I didn't look carefully
Today, I saw that Mei Niang's family is indeed a century-old brand
The family fortune is also quite rich.
A secluded and quiet two-courtyard house surrounded by high walls, giving people a sense of isolation from the world.
Walking into the courtyard gate, the first thing that catches the eye are the several tall saplings, which stand quietly in the corner of the wall, as if they are the guardians of this mansion. Although these saplings are not tall, they have lush branches and leaves, full of vitality, adding a touch of fresh air to the entire courtyard.
Looking up again, you can see a layer of neatly arranged green tiles on the roof. These tiles have been weathered and eroded, but they are still strong and durable. The green tile roof is not only beautiful and generous, but also has a good effect of heat insulation and waterproofing, allowing residents to feel a trace of coolness in the hot summer and enjoy a share of warmth in the cold winter.
Honestly speaking, this yard is estimated to be worth more than one hundred taels of silver.
This is still the accumulation of three generations of the Mei family.
Only then did they scrape together this house.
The courtyard is divided into front and back. The eight rooms in the left and right wing rooms in the backyard are the two suites of the main family in the north.
The four rooms in the left and right wing rooms in the front yard were for the servants to live in when the Mei family was at its peak.
Now it is still declining
There is only one old man guarding the gate.
Mei Niang also has a younger sister, named Mei Jiao'er
Only thirteen years old this year, I saw her last night, but she is nowhere to be seen today.
Mei Niang took Cheng Feng to see Shopkeeper Mei.
Shopkeeper Mei had already compromised
Recognized the marriage of Cheng Feng and Mei Niang
Shopkeeper Mei fell ill in bed, and the tavern was temporarily handed over to Mei Niang to handle.
Cheng Feng was secretly delighted. He was originally worried that Shopkeeper Mei would be frightened or unwilling to cooperate with his plan. Now it seems that everything is progressing smoothly.
"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Mei. Next, what we have to do is act according to the plan," Cheng Feng said.
"Okay, your wine is very good, it will definitely sell well, I will definitely do my best," Shopkeeper Mei nodded.
The doctor said that Shopkeeper Mei needs to rest for a few days, at most five or six days.
Cheng Feng can afford to wait.
His previous plan is about to set sail
