Chapter 192: Who is the Fool?

Nangong Liu came back, not because he had doubts and wanted to investigate. He just wanted to go back and persuade him again, if it really didn't work, he would admit the debt. Horizontally, he is not repaid, with his status in the Nangong family, he can withdraw five hundred taels of silver every year. Although this money is not enough, but every year when he goes back for the New Year, his son Nangong Ling directly gives him 5,000 taels as expenses, and if it is really not enough, he can go home or withdraw a total of 5,000 taels from the bank. However, his son also knows his temperament, and it is impossible for him to let him spend it all the time, 10,000 taels a year, and when he finishes spending, there will be no more, and he will honestly go home and make fun of his grandson if he has no money.

To say that his son Nangong Ling is also a genius in the Nangong family, he learned martial arts until he was twenty-two years old, and his level was considered to be the top among the young people of the Nangong family at that time, and he was very hopeful that he would inherit the position of the head of the Nangong family in more than ten years. But somehow, when he was twenty-two years old, after a lot of travel, he no longer focused on martial arts, but started a business.

I don't know if Lu Dao is a smart person who is easy to succeed in whatever he does, or if he Nangong Ling is indeed talented in business, plus he has the Nangong family behind him after all, and he will be famous in the northwest generation after two years. Today, ten years later, he is already a well-known wealthy businessman in the northwest. Although Lin Yu also has a small property, he can't be compared with him at all, if you insist on comparison, it is probably the difference between a restaurant and a real estate developer. Of course, Lin Yu is not only the income of the hotel, but also the industrial structure is relatively perfect.

Lin Yu's business, the main income at the moment is in the dessert shop, but it is impossible for this piece of income to maintain such a high profit. According to Yin Susu's estimates, with the popularity of desserts and the end of everyone's taste, Lin Yu's annual income should probably stabilize at about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. This is already very high, because Lin Yu himself is only twenty percent of the molecule, and the overall income of several dessert shops in the capital is about 200,000 taels.

Qingqing's side, she has forty percent of dry shares. However, when she left Beijing, Qingqing's side had just turned a profit, and the profit was very small and negligible. The restaurant business has been good, with the opening of two branches, plus the outsourcing delivery business, it is a profit of 134 taels a year. She has a lot of land in her name, but as long as she does not engage in special planting and does not charge high field rent, her income is relatively meager. A hundred hectares of land is about 10,000 taels, and it depends on the time of day.

Probably after stabilizing, Lin Yu's net income will probably reach seventy or eighty thousand taels a year. It is comparable to an upper-middle businessman, which is already very good, how many nobles do not have this income, excluding Zhang Wan'er's dowry, the annual income of the Marquis of Zhenyuan is less than 50,000 taels. However, Lin Yu suffered from a shallow foundation. At this time last year, she hadn't been kicked out of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and with this income, that is, half a year, her overall net worth did not exceed 160,000 taels, and she was basically a fixed asset. Limited cash on hand.

Of course, as money grows, Lin Yu's total assets may still grow, but Lin Yu actually does not have a particularly reliable background. It would be too eye-catching for an orphan girl's assets to grow further, and it would be difficult to keep it. However, Lin Yu doesn't have much ambition, a little rich is safe, and she doesn't pursue luxury goods, let alone 50,000 taels a year. Five thousand taels a year is more than enough.

In fact, it stands to reason that a small family can live without worrying about food and clothing with an income of 50 taels a year. It was when Lin Yu had just left the Hou Mansion. Although he has a little money in hand, he doesn't dare to spend it casually, so he has to calculate his life carefully, and he is very clear about the purchasing power of silver. Besides, Lin Yu was not a rich second-generation official in his previous life, although his family was not poor, he was definitely not rich, and he had a hard life for a long time when he was a child, and he was also a good hand.

This is also the root cause of Lin Yu and Nangong Liu's disagreement. Nangong Liu was the most outstanding disciple of the Nangong family's generation when he was young, if he hadn't insisted on marrying a little family girl as his wife, and his temperament was really not suitable for sitting in the clan, the current head of the Nangong family might be him. At that time, he had a lot of money, married a wife and was quite good at managing money, and his life was always rich. When his son grows up and becomes a huge rich, it has been ten years, and he is even more lenient, although he is given a quota of 10,000 taels, but it is impossible for a son to be really rigid with Lao Tzu, if Nangong Liu runs out of money, he still has to give another thousand children 800 taels.

Nangong Liuqian is easy to come by, so I may blame Lin Yu for not being generous enough, but Lin Yu now has less than 10,000 taels of cash in his hand, and he has to buy a little property in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he has to keep some cash in case of emergency, and it is already very good to be able to lend 1,500 taels in one hand.

Of course, Nangong Liu is actually a really good person, otherwise Lin Yu and Xiaobai would not be so close to him. It's just that everyone is in a different environment, and it is normal for there to be differences in concepts, although he was a little angry Lin Yu was suspicious of his friend, but after Lin Yu asked, although his face was not good-looking, he still understood in his heart.

"I don't know if the senior of Nangong is still in the Fang family at this time." Xiao Bai gently pulled the horse, turned his head to Lin Yu and said, "You said that Nangong seniors wouldn't tell his friend about our suspicions, wouldn't that be a good person for nothing?" ”

"Ninety percent not." Lin Yu didn't worry much about this problem, and said casually, "Although Nangong senior is angry, he is really good, but I'm afraid that he will be fooled." ”

"I hope so." Xiaobai shrugged, "No, you can push it on me, saying that I told you." ”

"No, it's really going to be a mess when the time comes, just apologize directly." Lin Yu smiled, "I've changed my mind, and I don't need their gratitude." ”

Lin Yu and Xiaobai rode their horses slowly, there was still a short way to go from Nangong's house, and at this time, Nangong Liu had already turned back to the gate of Fang's house. He raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, when an idea struck him.

"Xiaoyu, don't they suspect that my friend actually cheated me out of money with bad intentions? I'll just listen to what they have to say, and then I'll have a piece of evidence to refute them. Nangong Liu thought to herself in her heart. I've just been here, and Fang Lian is sure to discuss his proposal with his daughter. ”

His martial arts skills are indeed high, he went around to the back of the house, jumped over the courtyard wall lightly, and then carefully shuttled through the backyard to the back of the main house. He guessed correctly, Fang Lian and Fang Pearl were indeed discussing this issue.

"Dad, you said that Nangong Liu proposed to borrow money?" Fang Pearl said dissatisfiedly, "Dad, didn't you say that Nangong Liu has always been generous, and it is usually direct assistance?" ”

Fang Lian was also a little worried when he thought of this, "He has always been generous to the point of being almost a fool, probably he really doesn't have much money in his hands." Why don't we borrow money first and pay it back slowly when we come back? One thousand taels will be your dowry, and the remaining five hundred taels will be able to produce money from the business, and the person will not need interest. When you become the young grandmother of the Luo family, you will definitely gradually become rich, and you will be able to pay it back when the time comes. ”

"Didn't you say that Nangong Liu would rather owe money himself than let his friends pay it back?" Pearl hammered the table angrily, "But there is really not much time, there are only ten days before the date requested by the Luo family, and if I can't raise any money, I don't want to be the young grandmother of the Luo family." ”

"Probably most of them are rumors, and besides, your father's relationship with him is not particularly close after all." Fang Lian sighed, "Pearl, don't you really have to marry into the Naluo family?" The Naluo family is so demanding, and it is not an easy generation, and you may not be able to live a good life if you marry in the past. ”

"Dad, I don't care, you must think of ways to make Nangong Liu's fool pay for it, if you miss this village, there will be no such store." Pearl's delicate face became a little distorted.

"Then I'll think of a way, after all, such a righteous fool, who doesn't lie to him?" Fang Lian saw that his daughter was annoyed, and hurriedly comforted. "But I'm only worried about his friend, who says it's a son-in-law, a woman in business, and she's a smart person, so I'm afraid it's not easy to fool. But don't be afraid, just let this fool take on the debt, anyway, he didn't do it before, and others also got some money from him in this way. He attaches great importance to affection, and as soon as he squeezes him, he may not agree to it. ”

Hearing that his father seemed to be confident, Pearl also calmed down, and just about to speak, the door was kicked open, Nangong Liu's face was extremely bad, and he was almost burning red. Being screamed at by a fool and a stupid person, no matter how good the temper is, I am afraid that it will explode. What's more, Nangong Liu has always had complete trust in Fang Lian, so she had an unpleasant quarrel with Lin Yu, who maintained a skeptical attitude. For the sake of this honesty, he was cheeky enough to take money from Lin Yu, and then he kept persuading him with good words.

"Fang Lian! I didn't expect you to see me that way all along! After kicking the door open, Nangong Liu shouted.

He didn't care about the eight hundred silver, but he cared about being deceived, and he cared about being called a fool!

"Nangong Liu?!" Fang Lian's eyes widened, his face full of incredulity, "Why did you come back?" ”

"If I don't come, how can I hear such a wonderful conversation?" Nangong Liu said angrily, raised his hand in a few steps, and grabbed Fang Lian's neck. Fang Lian struggled twice, but he still didn't break free.

Pearl was stunned, watching her father be choked by the neck, but he couldn't even speak, and he didn't know how to plead, but the crystal in the next room heard the movement and came over. As soon as she walked over, she saw Nangong Liu, who was blushing and thick-necked, pinching her father's neck, and her father's face was also flushed and he couldn't breathe.

"Uncle Nangong, please, let my father go, let him go!" She screamed in fright at first, but she reacted quickly, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

"Uncle Nangong? Aren't you a fool? Nangong Liu glared at Fang Pearl next to him fiercely, but in the end, the strength in his hand was still loosened, and Fang Lian was let go.

At this time, Lin Yu and Xiaobai had already knocked on the door and were walking inside under the leadership of the servants of the Fang Mansion.
