Chapter 166: Selling a Shop
Dua Niu was carried back, and when his wife rushed out of the house, she saw her husband rolling his eyes, foaming at the mouth, trembling all over, and looking unconscious, and he was immediately frightened and stupid.
She never thought that her husband was fine when he went out, how could he be a lively person, and in a blink of an eye, he only had half a life left?
The little guy didn't dare to hide it, and told the Du family lady everything. As soon as the lady of the Du family heard that the camel caravan was fake, she almost fainted like her husband. Fortunately, the other people in the room reacted in time and were busy pinching people, and it was not easy to wake her up.
Looking at her husband who was paralyzed into a pile of mud on the couch, without a trace of his former appearance, the Du family lady wanted to cry without tears. Originally, it was a dream to make a fortune, but I never thought that it turned out to be a daydream, oh no, and the default of 40,000 taels of silver, this is a nightmare.
Thinking of the 40,000 taels of silver, the lady of the Du family couldn't wait to die on the spot. Where did she borrow that fantastical number?
They were born as small merchants and hawkers, and after more than ten years, the business was quite smooth, and the savings were only 10,000 taels of silver. Even if she had paid for the goods in full, and still owed 10,000 taels of silver, where would she go? Especially since her husband has become like this, it is tantamount to adding insult to injury, and I am afraid that the road of borrowing money from relatives will not work......
A kind woman present saw that she was worried about this, and immediately suggested to her: "Haven't there been some places for silver recently? Like that cornucopia silver building, I heard that it is a place where you can lend a large amount of silver." If you need it urgently, you might as well go to that place and ask for it. ”
A woman next to her heard this, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's not good, it's not good." I can't go to that kind of place, I heard that the silver lent, in just a few days, a hundred taels of silver will be returned to one hundred and ten taels of silver, which one can afford to borrow. ”
The lady of the Du family was also very hesitant in her heart, but after a few days, the silver was spent hundreds of taels. Instead of getting better, her husband's condition became even sicker, and he didn't even recognize anyone. And the deadline for the final delivery of the goods and silver specified in the contract of the cloth dealer was approaching. The lady of the Du family thought twice. decided to go to the place where the neighbor said to borrow 10,000 taels of silver for emergencies, and first solve the current predicament.
The shopkeeper of the cornucopia silver building was also happy, and immediately asked the lady of the Du family to make a note and pay her a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver. She rushed to a neighbouring province again. The silver tickets were handed over to the shopkeeper of the auspicious cloth village. That's when I settled down.
But not long after she was relieved, the debt collector of the Cornucopia Silver Building came to the door again. She thought that such a silver building would lend silver, but she would have to give more when she took it back, but what she didn't expect was that there was still a time limit, and if she didn't pay it back when it expired, the silver would be like a snowball, and it would roll into 20,000 taels of silver in a blink of an eye.
Facing debt collectors. Her husband is now seriously ill, and all the money is spent on healing. And the money for the shipments in the shop is gone, so how can they pay it back? Those people didn't care so much, they rushed into her house, smashed it for a while, and said that they would give her a ten-day deadline, and if they didn't pay it back when it was due, they would give her a good look.
Ten days have passed, and the Du family lady still has no way to raise money, and in addition to smashing her things in the house again, those people also beat her and warned her again.
The lady of the Du family was completely desperate, and after thinking about it, she had to leave her seriously ill husband and minor son behind and run away alone. I didn't want to escape far, but I was dragged back, and I was beaten again.
The disheartened Du family lady decided to hang herself, the rope was hung on the beam, and her son found her, who refused to let her die. The crying alarmed the neighbors next to her, and even Sister Hong was also alarmed.
Sister Hong Shi Shiran walked over, glanced at her, and said, "Silly sister, you are really stupid, you have such a good shop, but you have to hang yourself, why is this?"
Seeing that the lady of the Du family still had a blank look on her face, Sister Hong smiled mysteriously: "Sister Du family, have you forgotten that you still have a shop on hand?
A sentence woke up the Du family lady. She thought to herself, "yes, doesn't she still have a gold shop?" Although it is escrow, the deed is written in black and white in her husband's name. Even if the defendant goes to the government, this is ironclad evidence.
Besides, this shop is not stolen by itself, and it is not robbed, it was given away by others for free. Now that he has been cornered, his family is ruined, what are you doing with this shop, it's time to play its due role, right?
Thinking like this, the lady of the Du family instantly came back to life, and hurriedly asked: "Sister Hong, you are right, don't I still have a shop? I will sell it immediately, in that case, I will have the money to pay off my debts, and I will no longer have to hide in Tibet." ”
"But......" Sister Hong frowned, "but the amount of money you owe now is not a small amount." The person from the cornucopia silver building just now came over again, and so far, you owe a full 40,000 taels of silver. If you don't pay it back, you will be sued by the government and let you squat in prison for the rest of your life!"
The Du family shrank their shoulders in fright: "I can't go into the cell, I go in, what should my husband and my son do?"
She suddenly knelt down towards Sister Hong: "Sister Hong, you have a lot of connections, you can help me take a look and see who wants to buy the shop, 40,000 taels of silver, not a cent less, that's the money to repay the debt." Sister Hong, please, you must help me find a buyer as soon as possible. ”
Sister Hong hesitated for a long time, and said: "Okay, since you are so pitiful, I will also be kind, help you find it, I may not be able to find it, after all, the amount of silver you want is too big." ”
The lady of the Du family immediately said: "Sister Hong, there is a large amount of linen cloth in this store, linen cloth plus shop, 40,000 taels of silver, one hand to pay, one hand to deliver, do you think?"
Sister Hong nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, this deal is fair, okay, don't worry, wait for my good news." ”
Seeing Sister Hong and Shi Shiran walking out, the Du family lady wanted to cry without tears. What kind of thing is this, why is she so unlucky, her husband has become like this, and she still owes a debt of 40,000 taels of silver, what did she do in her previous life, does God want to punish her like this?
Sister Hong really has a wide range of people, and called three businessmen who seemed to be interested in buying the shop to come, and two of them heard the high price of 40,000 taels of silver, so they turned around and ran away in fright. The remaining one who seemed to really want to buy the shop was a thin old man named Luo Qi, and after some bargaining, it was pressed to 39,500 taels of silver, and the lady of the Du family was very happy, and she took out all the savings of her life for the five hundred taels of silver she still owed, and she probably made up enough money.
The thin old man was also kind when he thought about it, and when he entered the back room, he glanced at Du Aniu, who was still unconscious, and took out a bottle of pills casually, and handed it to the Du family lady: "I have this deal with you, and it can be regarded as an acquaintance, looking at your husband like this, I can't bear it." In this case, I have here a bottle of medicine for the treatment of this fright, and you should take three pills a day for him, and within five days, you will ensure that your husband acts as an ordinary person, and that there will be no more serious illness. ”
The lady of the Du family didn't expect to meet a miracle doctor when selling a shop, so she immediately thanked her and took the bottle of medicine. Taking it to her husband every day according to the old man's words, it was really effective, and within five days, Dua Niu's consciousness was basically sober, and after a few more days, it turned out to be as usual, and his movements were unhindered.
