Chapter 404 Skinny Cattle and Sheep Thin Field Fat (I)

Bale's home has moved out of London, in a rural village in the Scottish Highlands, far from the bustling city. It was a typical bungalow, and although it looked simple, the green grass in the yard was neat and obviously well kept. Christmas decorations are embellished with eaves and doors and windows, red Santa hats, white snow, green branches, quite a joyful atmosphere.

Yun Tianlan parked the car on the side of the road and walked outside the fence with Shui Qing.

"Now that I think about it, isn't it a little impulsive to come here?" Shui Qing was nervous, "What if the people from the Bale family ask us to show proof documents such as deposit receipts?" "It's easy to go to the bank and put things, but it's not easy to get things. In addition to proving your identity, you also need a password and a key, right?

"Take it one step at a time." Yun Tianlan is more relaxed than Shui Qing at this time, and he has a peaceful expression.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" A car pulled into the driveway, the windows rolled down, and there was a middle-aged red-haired man with two young boys about five or six years old in the back seat of the car.

"We're looking for Mr. Bale." Yun Tianlan added, "The founder of the Bale Bank. ”

The man glanced at Yun Tianlan and Shui Qing a few times, not surprised or impatient, and smiled, "Looking for my father?" Please go to the yard and wait for a while, I'll park the car and come. ”

Yun Tianlan replied in no hurry.

Shui Qing watched the car enter the garage, "It's the son of old Bale." ”

"It should be." Before coming, the elder Bale and his bank were formally investigated, and the elder Baller had only one son.

"We weren't surprised at all, maybe someone would come and get their deposit back." Shui Qing can see Bale's family style, and the father and son are quite down-to-earth.

"Grandpa said he'd be right away." The two little guys ran over and giggled around Shui Qing.

Shui Qing has always liked children, squatted down and asked, "You two twins?" ”

"No, it's cousins." It was an old man who answered her. He came down from the wooden ladder, in good spirits and with eyes full of energy.

"Great-grandfather." The boys shouted obediently.

Four generations in the same house.

"Let's go inside. Grandma Great-Grandma has just brought out a hot apple pie and is putting it on a plate, waiting for you to share it. Old Balak lovingly touched the children's heads.

As soon as they heard that there was food, the charm of the distant guest was insufficient, and the two children roared away.

"Father, these two guests are here to find you." The middle-aged red-haired man walks out of the garage.

"I guessed it when I saw it at the window." Old Bale stretched out his hand to Yun Tianlan, "Hello, I'm Bruce. Palestinian. This is my son Ryan. ”

"Hello, I'm Lance. Cloud. Yun Tianlan shook back her hand and introduced Shui Qing again, "She is my wife Qing." ”

Old Balak and his son exchanged glances at once, and they gave each other meaningful expressions.

Yun Tianlan saw it.

Shui Qing also saw it.

Just – what does that mean?

"You're Lance. Cloud? Old Bale's question could not have been that he had not heard it clearly, but that he was confirming it.

"Yes." Yun Tianlan took out her wallet and showed old Bale his driver's license, credit card and insurance card, which could prove his identity.

"That's it." Old Bale read it again, asked his son to help him read it again, made sure it was him, returned these documents to Yun Tianlan, and smiled with relief, "You are finally here." ”

It sounded as if they had been waiting for him for a long time, and they were glad that he was coming, Yun Tianlan raised her eyebrows a little confusedly.

"You're the last customer of the Bale Bank." Ryan. "Waiting for you means that we will fulfill our promise to all our guests and never owe a penny to our deposits," Balak promptly explained. That's why my father was so happy. ”

"Please come into the house and speak." Old Balak laughed and went to the house first.

Ryan followed.

Shui Qing tugged at the sleeves of Yun Tianlan. Some of her understood, and some of her didn't. What is clear is that Balak and his son know the purpose of Yun Tianlan's coming. What they don't understand is that since they know that Yun Tianlan is the last guest, why don't they take the initiative to contact it?

Yun Tianlan nodded, and shook her head again, obviously having questions.

When I entered the house, I found that the inside was wider and deeper than the outside. However, the area is not small, but the furniture is very old and cheap, and it is impossible to see the wealth of the past. As the owner of the coffee shop said, the Baller family is poor. However, the laughter of the children, the aroma of apple pie, and the big dog running in the backyard at the end of the corridor make the flat room full of happiness and not poor at all.

A woman with an apron appeared in the porch, saw Shui Qing and Yun Tianlan, and after being stunned for a moment, she asked, "Guests?" ”

Ryan responded, "Honey, please prepare tea and snacks and bring them to the side hall." ”

Ryan's wife immediately gave a good-natured smile, "Okay." ”

The side hall is a bit like a place where women do needlework after tea and dinner, and men read the newspaper and talk about current affairs. Therefore, Shui Qinggang sat down on the sofa and pulled a ball of wool from the cushion. I put the yarn on the small table next to it and put it on top of the newspaper.

"I'm sorry, it's cold, and everyone in our family is rushing to use the south-facing room. Wait a minute, you might still be able to find the toys that my great-granddaughter lost for a long time. Remember to let me know I'm going to surprise them. "Old Bale is also not lacking in humor.

Shui Qing smiled and replied to him, "No problem." ”

Old Bale seemed to like Shui Qing's heartiness, and his smile wrinkled even more, "Now, do you want to talk about your intentions first, or wait until you have finished my daughter-in-law's refreshments?" ”

Shui Qing was very strange when she heard this, because she thought that at least Balak and his son knew the intention, otherwise they would not have said such a thing as finally coming. But on this occasion, she left it to Yun Tianlan to deal with. After all, the inheritance was passed on to him by Grandpa Liang.

"I thought you already knew." Yun Tianlan and Shui Qing have the same idea.

"We have confirmed your identity, but we will not speculate on your intentions." That's when old Bale showed his banker's side. In fact, he is also a very principled person.

"It's for us to say it ourselves." Shui Qing whispered in Yun Tianlan's ear.

"Your wife is right." Ryan joins the conversation, "We have to go with the original customer's wishes. If you can't tell what you mean, we can't do anything. ”

Original customer? Yun Tianlan was not in a hurry to answer, and lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time.

Ryan's wife came in, put down the tea and snacks, and immediately withdrew.

The heat of black tea and milk was mixed into a fragrant fragrance and spread lightly, causing Shui Qing to unconsciously take a sip. Pick up the biscuit again and bite down. Of the four people, she was the only one who drank and ate, and chewed crispy.

Yun Tianlan really wanted to laugh when she heard it, who was nervous before entering the courtyard?

"How about the craftsmanship of the golden bubble tea and scones?" Old Bale also asked with a smile.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious." Shui Qing has no resistance to the food she likes to eat, otherwise she wouldn't have let Old Man Yun become her goddaughter.

"Then you must eat more, my wife will be happy." Ryan sincerely asked Shui Qing not to be polite.

"Yun Tianlan, do you want to eat and drink and think about it again?" It's not enough to like it, Shui Qing pulls her husband.

It's not a 100,000 urgent situation, Yun Tianlan has always been very fond of Han Shuiqing. Therefore, since she let him eat and drink, there was no reason for him not to obey. It's just that after being messed with by her like this, it turned out to be a matter of running out of refreshments and getting down to business.

It's most pleasant to drink tea and chat. The two sides did not talk to each other before they learned that the Baller family ran a ranch here. It is not a large pasture with low cattle and sheep in the wind-blown grass, but a small livestock farm full of sheep, nearly 100 cattle, and 100 chickens and ducks, which is only enough for four generations to eat.

Shui Qing thought that Old Bale had left his family a way back after all, but soon found out that it was not. This ranch was the inheritance of Ryan's daughter after the bankruptcy of the Barre Bank.

"Don't you regret it?" She really wanted to ask, "I sold my property to pay back the money, but the customer who took out the loan from you can not pay you back." If you don't, maybe your children and grandchildren can have a better life. ”

"When I chose to open a bank, I was prepared to take the risk of losing everything." Old Bale didn't mind Shui Qing's straightforwardness, "The banking industry is different from other businesses, it is an industry that provides people with life security and hope for the future. Bankruptcy is not the fault of our customers, but our mismanagement, and we should be held responsible for failing to live up to our trust. People may think I'm stupid, but when I think that those who get their savings back can support their parents and children, or can support their lives, I feel that I can eat and sleep soundly, and I feel at ease. ”

"I support my father's decision. The failure of the Bank of Burler was not a flood of sympathy, as one has claimed, but a lack of internal investment decisions. To this day, I still believe that there is a benefit to be gained by lending to small-scale practitioners. "Ryan dressed like a farmer and spoke like a businessman.

A small spark burst out in her mind, and Shui Qing had an idea, but she didn't mention it for the time being, and settled Grandpa Liang's legacy first.

"I've drunk the tea and eaten the biscuits, so I'll say what I mean." And Yun Tianlan has been organized.

"Please." Old Balak was getting up.

"I'm here to take the inheritance that Mr. Liang Qiao left me." In just one sentence, every word is carefully considered.

Shui Qing didn't know if what he said was accurate, and always felt that he should have a password key to get by.

"Yes." Old Balak got up.

"Huh? Is this okay? Don't use a password? Don't use a key? "Shui Qing accidentally found his own fault.

"We didn't disclose any information to Mr. Yun, but our identity and intention were confirmed, and I was there." Ryan also stood up, "These are all the conditions mentioned when Mr. Liang signed the custody contract with us. No passwords, no keys, just Lance. Yun himself came and said Mr. Liang's name, and we were able to hand over everything. ”

If you don't trust the character of the custodian, you can't do it. Shui Qing was thinking about it when he saw Old Bale take off a chain from his neck and hang two keys on it.

Ryan pushed open the couch by the window, took the key from his father's hand, and inserted it into the keyhole on the board. Squeak pulled up, revealing a swarthy cellar opening.

Shui Qing's eyes widened.

It's coming, it's coming...
