Chapter 055: Brotherly Feud
Such a large building only charges three taels of silver a month? According to the prices she has learned along the way, this price is a little too low!
Ye Leek Ya asked in surprise: "Then this rent is cheap enough, this area is very prosperous, and this shop is so big, at least ten taels of silver a month!" ”
"Yes! The dry goods shop next door is only twenty feet in and out, and the rent is five taels of silver a month. ”
"Then it stands to reason that my uncle's family should be very grateful to grandpa, right? After all, if you rent a teahouse to someone else, it's not so cheap, why don't you usually see them mingling? I haven't even seen it during the New Year's holidays! ”
"Alas! It's a long story, so I'll tell you about it slowly. When Grandpa was a child, he naughtily broke a very valuable thing in the Zhou landlord's house, and after the Zhou landlord caught his grandfather, he said that he would beat his grandfather to death.
The great-grandfather begged to go to the door, and the landlord of Zhou said that he would pay 800 taels of silver. How could our Ye family take it out, in order to save his grandfather's life, his great-grandfather sold all his family property but couldn't get up a hundred taels.
Later, the great-grandmother asked Xu Juren for insurance, and the compensation was reduced by half, and it could be repaid in ten years, and the matter was settled. ”
"Why did this Xu Juren help our Ye family?"
"Xu Juren is a cousin of his great-grandmother, he has no children for many years, and his uncle was known as a prodigy in the village when he was young, and they all say that he has a champion talent when he grows up.
Xu Juren once proposed to pass his uncle to him as a son, but his great-grandfather did not agree, and after his grandfather's accident, Xu Juren came to the door and persuaded his great-grandfather to sell his uncle to the Xu family for three hundred taels of silver.
The great-grandfather and great-grandmother reluctantly agreed to this, and the uncle followed Xu Juren to move to Chong'an County.
After seven years, Xu Juren didn't know how to provoke a bandit leader in Jianzhou Mansion, and he was bankrupt and his family was ruined!
The uncle was also lucky to pick up a life, so the homeless uncle ran back to Xiushui Village all the way to beg and returned to the Ye family.
The relationship between grandpa and uncle and brother has been very good since childhood, and for this reason, grandpa feels very guilty about his uncle, and later he thinks about his uncle when he has any good things. ”
Listening to Ye Ying's words, Ye Leek Ya frowned, she couldn't believe it, this thing sounded quite mysterious.
Three hundred taels of silver to buy a child, which is a sky-high price in the countryside, and many poor people sell a healthy child for a maximum of a dozen taels. This doesn't seem right!
How could there be such a coincidence, Xu Juren wanted a son, and his grandfather had an accident, and in the end, Xu Juren came forward to help, and he actually bought his uncle at a high price.
"If their brotherly relationship is very deep, why did it become like this?"
"It's not that the money is making trouble, after this uncle rented a teahouse, he actually opened a ready-to-wear shop for less than half a month! Let's just say that the shop is going out of business.
Immediately after that, Uncle Wen Zhong changed this building into a restaurant, the business was very good, and grandma felt that she had lost money after knowing it, so she wanted to increase the rent, but it had been signed in black and white, how could Uncle Wen Zhong be willing! ”
"Sister, after hearing you say so much, why do I feel weird in my heart, can't grandma and uncle see it, is there a big problem here?" Ye Leek Ya asked.
"After thinking about this later, they also felt that it was a bit of a problem, but no matter what business my uncle's family originally planned to rent a teahouse to, writing the contract in black and white, in fact, it can't be easily reversed."
