Chapter 10 My surname is Nguyen, and I have a hard temper
was tossed by Feng Shaoyu like this, and the hour was not early, so Ruan Si had to go back to Yan's house first.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Wang was already waiting for her at home.
"I was about to look for you, but you came first, are all the shops packed?"
Shopkeeper Wang put down the teacup, looked embarrassed, and said, "Second young grandmother, the rent is ......."
Ruan Si sat down and said, "I know that you have just suffered a disaster, and the loss in the store is not light, and this month's rent will be postponed for two months, and it will be paid quarterly." ”
She asked Zhu Dongyan yesterday and learned that this shop has been rented to the Wang family for many years, and the rent of thirty taels per month has never been in arrears.
The king's shopkeeper can be regarded as a trustworthy man.
But after listening to Ruan Si's words, he was not happy but worried: "My family business has been destroyed, don't say that it will be difficult to give me a quarter, even if it is a year!" ”
Ruan Si drank tea quietly.
"I am old and young, and there are so many mouths in my family, all pointing at me to feed, I really can't afford to invest money to open a new winery."
Ruan Si asked, "Then it's not renting?" ”
"Yes!" Shopkeeper Wang gritted his teeth in pain, "There are still a few acres of thin fields in my hometown, and I sold my house and took my wife and children home to farm." ”
Yan's shop is located in the downtown area, so you don't have to worry about renting it.
What's more, the rent is rising every year, and the rent of the shop can also rise.
Ruan Si didn't embarrass him, nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll find someone to hand over to you and return the deposit to you." ”
Seeing that he was sitting still, Ruan Si said again: "The Yan family has known you for many years, if you want to leave, you might as well go to the old lady and say something." ”
The shopkeeper's face was red and blue for a while.
He seemed to have made up his mind, and said with difficulty: "Second young grandmother, your Yan family said that you would compensate me for three months' rent." ”
"Nearly a hundred taels of silver?" Ruan Si stared at him and asked, "This is not a small amount, you can tell me why I want to give it to you." ”
Shopkeeper Wang picked up the teacup and poured a few sips of tea.
He threw the teacup, his face turned purple, and said loudly: "The day you married into the Yan family, who doesn't know that Jia Dashan can't tease you on the street?" ”
"He was whipped by your father-in-law, and he lost face in public, so he naturally wanted to take revenge on your Yan family."
He was like a rooster in a hurry, and said viciously: "Especially you, the second young grandmother!" ”
"What does it have to do with me?"
Ruan Si's calm and relaxed style annoyed the shopkeeper Wang.
He pointed at Ruan Si's nose and said in a lost voice: "The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and my wine shop was smashed, it is all your Yan family's fault!" ”
He made a lot of noise, alarming the backyard, and Zhu Dongyan helped the maid to rush to the side hall.
As soon as Zhu Dongyan entered the door, he persuaded: "Why did you quarrel so well?" Come, take a sip of tea first, let's talk slowly. ”
Shopkeeper Wang smiled gloomily: "Grandma Da Shao, your family has married a mourning star and offended Jia Dashan, you have good fruits to eat." ”
Zhu Dongyan hurriedly glanced at Ruan Si, and saw that she was not annoyed at all, so he felt a little relieved.
"Sister-in-law came just in time," Ruan Si laughed instead of being angry, "You come to judge the theory, is it me who is wrong?" ”
Zhu Dongyan had no choice but to play a round and said: "The shopkeeper Wang's family has suffered a great change, and the Yan family is also very sorry, so it is better for me to come up with some ladders ......"
"Sister-in-law!" Ruan Si stood up, "It's not the Yan family that's wrong, it's the wicked people who are rampant and domineering, the bureaucrats who bully the soft and fear the hard." ”
The shopkeeper opened his mouth, speechless.
"I, Ruan Si, have just arrived, I don't know the feelings here, I just know that if there is a mistake, I have to correct it, but if it is not my fault, no one can impose on me."
As she spoke, she remembered that in her previous life, she was notorious as a jealous woman by Yao Yu, and she was tortured by countless cold eyes.
Her heart was sour, and there was a hint of choking in her voice.
Zhu Dongyan thought she felt wronged, so he took her hand and held it tightly.
Ruan Si smiled gratefully, looked at the shopkeeper Wang, and said sincerely: "Originally, with the friendship between you and me, the Yan family would never sit idly by. ”
"I'm ......," the shopkeeper looked ashamed.
"If you want to seek justice, then the county order will not help you, and I still have an iron-faced and selfless Yama Luofujun."
"If you want to borrow money to reopen and mortgage the house to the Yan family, I will make the decision to allocate money to help you make a comeback."
The king's treasurer's previous look of indignation faded.
Ruan Si said: "If you only think about returning to your hometown, I will also give you some ladders to make a road entanglement." ”
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded.
Zhu Dongyan persuaded softly beside him: "You and I are ordinary people, let the bullies and officials are used to bullying, what's the use of fighting for both sides of our own family?" ”
"Even if you want to fight," Ruan Si said coldly, "you have to fight with that bully dog official!" ”
Shopkeeper Wang shook his head and said, "Where can you win people's battles?" ”
Ruan Si sneered: "If you can't fight, come to find a soft persimmon to pinch?" Although my surname is Ruan, my temper is very hard. ”
"Oh?"
Outside the door, Yan Yingzhou chuckled and walked into the house with his sleeves brushed up.
When the shopkeeper Wang saw Leng Yanluo, who was famous in the county, he was even more panicked in his heart.
Ruan Si ignored him, and then asked, "Shopkeeper Wang, I have made it clear to you, have you thought about it now?" ”
The shopkeeper was still hesitant.
Yan Yingzhou suddenly asked, "I heard, do you all think I'm not easy to mess with?" ”
Asked by him, the shopkeeper Wang was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak, and he didn't know how to answer with cold sweat on his head.
"Mess with her," he looked at Ruan Si, "it's to provoke me." ”
"The villain doesn't dare!" The shopkeeper Wang had already lost his previous arrogance, but he almost didn't throw himself on the spot.
Zhu Dongyan came out and persuaded: "If you want to quit the rent, come with me, I will order someone to take you to sign the note, and the deposit will be given to you a lot." ”
From the moment Yan Yingzhou came in, Shopkeeper Wang felt that the side hall was almost freezing cold.
He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he got off the donkey and hurried out.
Zhu Dongyan also bowed and said, "Second brother, brother and sister, I'll go to grandma's side to reply." ”
Yan Yingzhou bowed slightly, "There is a sister-in-law." ”
After Zhu Dongyan left, Ruan Si turned around to leave, but was stopped by Yan Yingzhou, "Madam? ”
"I'll go get some silver and order someone to give it to the lady of the Wang family." Ruan Si sighed, "This matter still has nothing to do with me. ”
Yan Yingzhou chuckled and said, "Although my wife's temper is hard, her heart is very soft. ”
"By the way," Ruan Si asked, "why do many people call that Jia Shan's 'Jia Dashan person'?" ”
Yan Yingzhou's expression grew cold.
"A few years ago, he forcibly conscripted the people to build a pavilion on the outskirts of the city, saying that he wanted to bless the shade side and let everyone thank him for his kindness."
"From then on, when he bullied the people, he would always deliberately advocate that he was doing good and benefiting people, and coerced everyone to call him a great good man."
Ruan Si snorted coldly, "This kindness is really fake. ”
"But don't be afraid of him, and when you see him, avoid him, lest he stench you get to you."
Ruan Si muttered: "I'm not afraid of dog bites, how can I be afraid of him?" ”
Yan Yingzhou's eyes fluttered, and she quickly added: "If the dog comes to bite me, I will hit it with a stick." ”
"Ruan Si."
As soon as he heard him call his name, Ruan Si knew that he had something serious to say.
"I have something to leave home, and I can only come back in ten days and half a month, and I am not here these days, you take care of yourself."
Ruan Si nodded, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, your grandmother and your sister-in-law, I will take care of you." ”
A hint of displeasure flashed in those narrow phoenix eyes.
Being looked at by him like this, Ruan Si felt a little weak, coughed dryly and interrupted twice: "You have to take care of yourself when you go out......"
Yan Yingzhou sighed and said in a low voice, "Take care of my wife." ”
