It is precisely because of this that Grandma Sun rarely owes the rent of their shop, but the Huichun Hall is different, according to Sun Dalang's idea, when the Yang family can't pay off the rent, they want to sweep them out, but Grandma Sun has always prevented her son from doing this, feeling that opening a pharmacy is different from others, it is also a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and it can't cut off people's livelihoods.

And the Yang family also knew that Sun Dalang was very arrogant, so there was not much arrears in the rent. And the shopkeeper of Sihai Restaurant found Sun Dalang and said that he was willing to give him a discount to let him eat at Sihai Restaurant, as long as he gave him a leniency of the Yang family's house money, and it was precisely because of this reason that the Yang family's Huichun Hall was able to maintain the rent owed. A few months ago, after Yang Xianmao came back from Yaque Village, he paid off the rent he owed at one time, so Sun Dalang didn't come to trouble them.

Mrs. Zhu took the brocade box, took a little maid, and came to Granny Sun's small courtyard.

I knocked on the door and went in, and I came to the hall. Granny Sun was talking to her son Sun Dalang there. When I saw him come in, I quickly got up to greet him. After sitting down, after a few pleasantries, Mrs. Zhu gave the box to Grandma Sun.

Granny Sun opened it, her eyes lit up, and she took out the bunch of jade grapes, jingled them, and showed them to her son Sun Dalang.

Sun Dalang pouted and said, "I'm embarrassed to take out such a bad jade." ”

Mrs. Zhu blushed suddenly.

Granny Sun glared at her son very dissatisfiedly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, this is a good jade!"

Sun Dalang didn't dare to contradict his mother and stopped talking.

Granny Sun laughed again, diverted the topic, and said to Mrs. Zhu: "Look at you, I can't accept such a valuable gift." ”

Mrs. Zhu said, "What are we sisters talking about? I used to come to you, and I rarely mentioned anything. ”

Sun Dalang on the side added another sentence without yin or yang: "Then there must be something to do today." ”

Granny Sun glared at her son again.

Mrs. Zhu was very embarrassed, but she could just take advantage of this to say it, and said with a smile: "Da Lang is really right, the so-called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, I came to see the old sister today, and I really want to trouble you with something." ”

Grandma Sun smiled and said, "What do you do with those kind words? ”

Mrs. Zhu cautiously looked at Granny Sun's face and said, "That's the case, you also know that our shop is a little smaller, and we can't put things on it, and if there are a few more guests, we can't sit down." Therefore, our family officials have always wanted to expand the store, but they don't want to open a branch elsewhere, so they want to ask the old sister to help us rent the house in Huichun Hall, and it doesn't matter if the rent rises a little. Hehe. ”

When Grandma Sun heard this, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't the Rejuvenation Hall rented by Yang Langzhong?" ”

"Yes, yes, so I want to discuss with you if we can take back his shop and sublet it to us. We've never been in arrears, and the rent is absolutely indispensable. It's no problem to pay for a year and a half in advance. Isn't it a lot more worry-free for you to rent a house to us? Unlike their Rejuvenation Hall, where you are in debt for three days, you still don't have to worry about it. You say yes, sis. ”

Sun Dalang on the side heard this, patted his thigh, pointed at Mrs. Zhu and said, "Can you think of this kind of thing?" However, it's really good, hehehehe." ”

Mrs. Zhu was taken aback by his words, and thought that he was going to get angry, but she didn't expect him to praise her words later, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's not, if you do business, just tell a letter." If you rent someone else's house and don't pay for it, then you don't have credibility. For this kind of person who does not speak of credibility, of course you can take back the house, even if it goes to the lawsuit and goes to the yamen, then he has no reason. Right?"

Grandma Sun was very embarrassed and said, "This is not very good." ”

"What's so bad? It's that he owes you rent first, and many times, I know that. It's just that you are thin-skinned and not easy to collect debts, so you want to replace them with someone else, and you have already swept them out of the house and taken back the house. ”

Sun Dalang also helped on the side and said: "But no, I told my mother several times to take back the house and don't rent it to the poor man, but my mother didn't agree, saying that it is a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good deeds because people open a pharmacy, just because they owe a little money to kick people out, I can't say anything." My mother actually just can't wipe her face, I said let me go and let them go, but she didn't let me, I was so angry that I couldn't do it. ”

Mrs. Zhu couldn't imagine that Sun Dalang would help him talk like this, so she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly threw a flattering smile at Sun Dalang, saying: "It's still Dalang who is considerate of your mother, and your mother and son also live on this rent, if everyone owes money so much, then where will the rent be collected? Since your mother is embarrassed, you will go and tell Na Langzhong that they will move out and take back the house, and if nothing else, just say that he owes rent, see if he is embarrassed?"

Aunt Sun on the side hurriedly said, "It's not good." He owed some money for the house in those years, but he also owed it after a few days to pay it back, and he didn't owe a penny in the past few months, so how could he take the house back like this?"

Sun Dalang said: "What's wrong, if he doesn't owe it now, it doesn't mean that he won't owe it in the future, you didn't see a few days ago, there was no one in their pharmacy, and he offended the prefect." I advised you to take back the house, but you didn't do it, because unless they left by themselves, you would be embarrassed to drive them away. ”

Grandma Sun said: "But people's business is good now, you don't see the traffic at the door, many patients come to see the doctor, these days are really a lot of money." ”

After a while, the prefect is not happy, and if he talks about him, he still has to drink the northwest wind? Where can we collect the rent? Zhu shopkeeper and their jewelry store is a big business, and he has never owed a penny of rent, and sometimes we are short of money, so borrow some money from him, and he has never said a word. ”

As soon as Mrs. Zhu heard this, she immediately understood why Sun Dalang wanted to help him speak. -- This Sun Dalang is a good gambler, because he is bad at gambling, so he often owes gambling debts, so he often asks her husband to borrow some money in private, so to help himself, of course, in order to borrow money more conveniently in the future.

When Grandma Sun heard this, her face sank and she said to her son: "I have told you many times, don't gamble, look at you, what has you done with the family business left by the Lord?

Speaking of the back, Granny Sun's voice was a little choked, and she raised her sleeves to wipe her old tears.

Sun Dalang said: "Why are you talking about this? I am now lucky, and when I get better one day, all the money I lose will be won back for you." Not only will I redeem all the furniture that I originally mortgaged and pawned, but also get you a big house, and find a lot of maids and women to serve your old man. ”

Mrs. Zhu was busy laughing and said: "Yes, yes, Da Lang, I heard that the casino is a good player, and he often wins money, but sometimes people are always unlucky, and when he is lucky, you will make a lot of money." ”

Granny Sun glanced at Mrs. Zhu very dissatisfiedly and said, "When did he get a penny back from the casino and come to his house?"

Mrs. Zhu didn't expect the horse's fart to be slapped on the horse's leg, she was very embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Da Lang, this kid is very filial, he will definitely listen to your words." ”

Originally, Grandma Sun was still a little hesitant, but just now she saw Mrs. Zhu encouraging her son to gamble, she hated this the most, but her son didn't listen to her, she couldn't help it, but Mrs. Zhu stepped on her sore feet, so she turned her face and said: "In the Zhu family's house, I can't help what you said before, it's still the same sentence, but all the merchants who rent houses in my house, unless they want to leave, otherwise I won't take the initiative to take back the house, even if he is short of some rent for a while, as long as it is reasonable, I will not go too far." Therefore, it is impossible for me to drive them away from the Rejuvenation Hall. - This thing is too expensive for me to want, so you can take it back. ”

Speaking of this, Granny Sun put the jade grapes into the box, pushed them in front of Mrs. Zhu, and said, "I am a little uncomfortable today, and I want to go back to the room to lie down, so I won't accompany you." He turned back to Da Lang and said, "Wait a while, you will send Aunt Zhu." ”

Granny Sun didn't wait for Mrs. Zhu to say anything, so she turned around and went into the back room.

Mrs. Zhu was very embarrassed, so she had to hold the box and say goodbye.

Sun Dalang followed, arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and whispered to Mrs. Zhu: "Auntie, don't worry, let's go back and discuss with Shopkeeper Zhu together, I have an idea." ”

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Da Lang, if you can come up with any good ideas, my family officials will not be able to benefit you." ”

Sun Dalang smiled and nodded, and then followed Mrs. Zhu to the jewelry store.

Mrs. Zhu said to the shopkeeper Zhu: "Granny Sun is unwilling to be a wicked person, and said that unless Yang Langzhong moves out by himself, even if he owes money, he will not take back the house from them." But Grandma Sun's eldest brother is very helpful to us, saying that she has a good idea to tell you. ”

Shopkeeper Zhu glanced at Sun Dalang, then motioned for him to sit down on the chair, and then asked the maid to make tea, and after the maid went out, he lowered his voice and asked: "Dalang doesn't know what tricks he has, although it is a good idea, your benefits are indispensable." ”

Sun Dalang sat there for a long time and tasted tea, and only after satisfying his appetite did he say: "Of course my idea is high, and I can help you realize it, but this idea is worth at least five taels of silver, you have to agree, and I will tell you when the money comes." If I don't agree, when I don't say it, I'll pat my ass and leave. ”
