Chapter 11 Lao Yan’s Economic Accounts
As soon as the donkey cart stopped, the gatekeeper at the door of the gambling stall saw Yan Laoer.
Before he could recover, seven or eight people rushed out of it.
Groups surrounded the donkey cart.
"Hey! Isn't this Yan Er? They're all in the donkey cart, and they're here to pay back the money?" After speaking, he leaned close to the donkey and wanted to stroke it. The donkey shook its ears and bared its teeth, and the leader withdrew his hand embarrassingly. .
Afraid of being chewed, forget it.
It's over!
Yan Lao Er's scalp exploded, he turned around in slow motion in horror, and looked at his eldest brother, Yan Huaiwen, who was already able to sit up on his own.
"What's the money?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
Yan's second son wants to cry but has no tears. He exposed it too early, and he is not psychologically prepared at all!
They also hope that with the help of the platform tonight, they can settle the gambling debt.
"Big... big brother... I didn't... I wasn't..." Yan's second son was sweating, and his face was flushed.
Woohoo! There's no denying it!
He said it wasn't him, he said he didn't, who would believe it? who!
What a shame!
Although it’s not yet June, God, let’s get some snow! !
"Oh, look at my eyes, isn't this Mr. Xiucai? Look, you've been negligent. If you'd like to show your face, come in for a cup of tea?" The man in the lead looked burly and powerful, and spoke slickly. .
"No, tell me what the money is about."
"Your second brother played in our gambling stall before. He was unlucky, not much, and owed a full twenty taels of silver."
"Is there a matter?"
"Look, we don't have the guts to lie to you. Here is the IOU written by your second brother."
What else could Yan Erer say, the guy took out the IOU with his signature again, and handed it to his brother pretendingly.
His brother took it over, and his brother read it carefully from top to bottom. His brother glanced at him with a blank expression on his face, and turned his head away...
Old Yan must be sad and disappointed.
He is so kind to his younger brother.
Things all rush together to make things worse.
Yan Laoer wiped his face vigorously, broke the jar and said:
"Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't bet!
The money is owed by me, and I will find a way to pay it back.
Didn’t you allow me three days? It’s not enough yet. If you come to me on the day we agreed, I, Yan Laoer, will definitely pay you back. "
The man sneered, ignored him, and only looked at Yan Xiucai sitting on the donkey cart.
Yan Huaiwen can't remember what expression he used to have when facing the sudden gambling debt, ahem, maybe it's not because he doesn't remember, but because he doesn't want to act as it is.
At that time, he was dumbfounded, looking ugly after seeing a ghost.
The bitterness towards the ignorance of the second brother, the hatred for him begging him and even forcing him to sell the land to pay off the debt.
Yes, the second younger brother said the same thing at the time, big brother, I was wrong, please help me, if you don’t pay the money, they will drag Mrs. Li and Erya to pay off the debt... Big brother, I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again Dare to bet... Big brother, you believe me, believe me this time, big brother...
In my memory, I still have the cries of Da Ya, the cries of younger siblings, and Erya...
I didn't expect that girl to cry more deeply than her eldest sister, with her eyes closed and her mouth wide open, for such a small person, her cry was so loud and loud!
His head was buzzing, and he was almost knocked down by her crying.
Instead of worrying about the family, it is better to break through the matter in advance and solve it in the town.
"The family business is weak, only ten acres of ancestral property..." Yan Huaiwen closed his eyes, and sighed, "Help me down."
Yan Lao Er angrily bumped the debt collector who came forward to offer courteousness to the side, peeked at Old Yan's expression, and carefully helped him out of the car.
Yan Huaiwen slowly pushed him away, looked up at the signboard of Shunyi Pawnshop, and walked in slowly.
Shunxin, Shuyi.
Listening to the name, it is clear that the gambling house and the pawnshop are the same.
Yan's second child was weeping, hesitated for a while, and followed in.
Just heard his brother say: "Your family is not the only **** shop in the town, the silver taels owed by my second brother, according to the market price, three mu of land is enough to offset."
"Yan Xiucai, you are talking in layman's terms. The price of an acre of high-quality land is seven liang. Wait, it is calculated according to the middle or even lower class, and the small one here is a **** shop, and the **** shop has its own rules, no matter what the **** is, it must be discounted for another calculation, but fortunately, it is not late or owed, and it is convenient to pay in cash no."
Before the second shopkeeper of the **** shop could reply, the big shopkeeper quickly walked out from behind and took over the conversation.
Yan Xiucai hit the nail on the head whether intentionally or not.
That’s right, there are more than Shunyi’s pawnshops in this town, and it would be a bad thing if they let people go away and sell the property because of them.
You must know that Yan Xiucai is here, and they have not been eyeing Yan Xiucai for a day or two.
"The other things are not easy to sell, but I have never heard that the land is not easy to sell. It has a price but no market. If I spread the wind and want to sell the land, it can be settled immediately. The big shopkeeper is bluffing others. , don't lie to me." Yan Huaiwen said calmly.
"What you said is true, but you are only willing to cede three acres. If you sell land sporadically, the big families may not want to spend that effort. If you sell land in the countryside, ask your relatives and friends, and ask your neighbors. If you can't find a suitable person to take over, pawnshops and pawnshops are the most convenient. We don't inspect the land or measure the land. As long as you have the land deed documents, you can go to the yamen to apply for the lease right away. If you don't have time to go, just write a handwritten letter. Zhang, I'll go on my own, and I don't need Yan Xiucai to show up." The shopkeeper was full of smiles, polite and courteous, it was expected that Yan Xiucai would not want to go to the Yamen in person.
After all, he is a person of fame and fame, and it is disgraceful to **** his ancestral property.
"How much is the price?" Yan Huaiwen asked.
"Five taels and one mu." The shopkeeper replied immediately.
Today, another person came, not Yan Xiucai, but someone else, who owed the opposite party's gambling debts. It is absolutely impossible for him to pay this price. He can only give four or two at most.
But Yan Laoer still owes less, only twenty taels, not enough!
Yan's second son was in a hurry: "Three acres of land is not enough, four acres?"
That's four acres of land, nearly half of the property.
It is really not wrong for Lao Yan to divide his family, it should be!
Yan Huaiwen shook his head, "Instead of being undervalued, I might as well sell all the ten acres of land, get rid of the gambling debts owed by my second brother, and if there is anything left, I can buy another property."
"Huh? They're all for sale?" Yan's second child was startled. Does Lao Yan think so?
But if you think about it carefully, let go of the ancestral feelings and so on. In terms of money alone, this is indeed the way to minimize the loss.
Ten mu of land, seventy taels, minus twenty taels for debt repayment.
There are still fifty taels in hand.
Looking around to buy a piece of land, don't buy too good, buy mediocre, maybe you can buy another ten acres.
Old Yan's economic accounts are as wide as possible!
its not right!
Damn it!
Isn’t Lao Yan planning to leave? Ready to escape! !
I have a goal, so I want to go to Guanzhou...
Emma!
land cannot be taken on the road, but silver can!
Lucky hit? !
Lao Yan decided to take the initiative, or not to wait for debtors to come to his door. My niece cried so hard that her brain ached, suddenly~
