Chapter 87: Being Counted (1)
When Fucai went to inquire, Tang Tang had already received a thousand taels from the shopkeeper, but he did not leave.
She still sat in her old seat with her husband, but there was an extra middle-aged man at the table.
Judging by the dress and manners, it should be a small businessman.
He wondered what she was going to do, so he went out of his way to sit down in a nearby hidden position, intending to listen to an ear.
Maybe I'll have to go back to my own house!

"Just press the handprint here?" Tang Tang asked.
"Yes, ma'am." Shopkeeper Zhou said.
Tang Tang was about to press it, but Shopkeeper Zhou's originally unnatural face suddenly became nervous, and at the moment when her thumb was about to fall, he hurriedly said, "Madam, wait!" ”
"What are you waiting for, you regret it?" Tang Tang's hand was on the table.
"It's not, it's ......" Shopkeeper Zhou was very embarrassed.
"What's the reason for that?" Tang Tang accentuated his tone and said, "Shopkeeper, I don't have to buy it. ”
"I know, I know that although the price you offered is low, but the only person who can give me a glimmer of life, I am very grateful in my heart, so ...... So...... Madame, you are illiterate, are you? Shopkeeper Zhou said.
Tang Tang smiled but did not answer.
She is now just a peasant girl in the country, and a casual inquiry will tell that she is illiterate.
Money can bluff people, but literacy is not so simple.
Moreover, the characters here are not simplified Chinese characters, but another script, and for now, she is really illiterate.
"Lady, me! I'm literate! Xiao Zhongqin, who had been feeling depressed beside him, finally heard something pleasant, and he told her excitedly.
Shopkeeper Zhou and the others in the building at the moment were all shocked.
Everyone knows that he is not normal, he should be a fool, he said that he is literate, he is joking!
Literacy, that's not something that ordinary people can do.
Tang Tang was as surprised as everyone else, "Are you really literate?" Do you read the contents of this piece of paper? ”
She pushed the contract on the table in front of Xiao Zhongqin.
Xiao Zhongqin, who had been reused, nodded heavily, and picked it up to read.
Shopkeeper Zhou stopped him, "Wait." ”
"Xianggong, wait." Tang Tang said.
Xiao Zhongqin stopped, "What's wrong?" ”
"Be quiet, the three of us can hear it!" Shopkeeper Zhou said.
When Xiao Zhongqin saw Tang Tang nodding, he put down his momentum and read it word by word.
Shopkeeper Zhou's face became paler and paler.
Tang Tang's face became colder and colder.
After Xiao Zhongqin finished reading, Tang Tang put the contract in front of Shopkeeper Zhou, "Shopkeeper Zhou, why did the purchase price of 2,000 taels become a deposit, if I don't take out 20,000 taels of silver to buy in time, the 2,000 taels will not be returned, and the contract will be automatically terminated." What do you mean? ”
Zhou's shopkeeper's face was like ashes, and he didn't reply for a while.
"I'm kind enough to help you, if you feel like you're losing, you don't have to promise me, why bother to give me money like this?" Tang Tang sneered.
There was no way she could have come up with 20,000 taels of silver to buy a house, and those three places couldn't be worth that much!
The only explanation is that they are greedy for the two thousand taels of silver she has in her hand now!
"Madame, I ...... I'll tell you the truth! Shopkeeper Zhou was extremely embarrassed, "You are kind enough to help me, I am very grateful to you in my heart, so I will call you to stop!" ”
Tang Tang would not say that she had already seen that something was wrong with him, so she would not easily leave her palm print. Besides, the world once told her that she couldn't sign a document without understanding it with a stranger.
