After Ye Ronglian left, everything returned to normal.
After they worked until it was getting dark, they each went home early.
But she never expected that when Chen Yan arrived at her home, the house would be filled with creditors.
When she saw these creditors, if it was normal, Chen Yan would have left long ago, but business has been really good these days. Chen Yan felt that she still had hope to pay off the debts in her hands, so when she saw these creditors this time, Not only did Chen Yan not slip away, she just walked in casually, and she only took the initiative to greet them: "Uncle Qi, Boss Mo, Boss Du, good afternoon, why are you willing to come and see me today?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, the man whom Chen Yan called Uncle Qi snorted coldly, "We are not here to see you. You should know how much money you owe us!"
"Yes! Paying back debts is a matter of course." When Uncle Qi opened his mouth, the others just followed suit and shouted slogans.
However, although they were loud, Chen Yan was not intimidated. She smiled and said, "Uncle Qi, what are you talking about? Did I say I won't pay back the money?"
"Then you should pay me back!"
"That's right! Pay back the money quickly!"
A group of people clamored for the same request.
"Return, why don't you return it, but isn't the date we agreed on the eighth of every month? There are still three days until the eighth, what are you doing here in such a hurry?"
Faced with Chen Yan's words, a group of people didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Uncle Qi who jumped out and said, "You must pay it back now, no one has any leftover food. Besides, isn't your store doing very well? What does it matter if it's two or three days in advance?"
This time it was because Uncle Qi took the lead in front of her, and the others just followed suit and said, "Yes! Not now!"
Hearing this, Chen Yan could only say helplessly, "Since Uncle Qi has said so, I will pay you back the money for this issue first."
After saying this, Chen Yan went to get the remaining money after excluding the dividends.
She only said to Uncle Qi, "Uncle Qi, I owe you three hundred taels. I will repay fifty taels in this installment first, and I will pay back the remaining four installments to you on the eighth of every month. You should be okay with this, right?" .”
However, when he heard that Chen Yan could actually come up with so much money, Uncle Qi was obviously even more unwilling. "Who gave you installment payment? There is no interest at all. If I use these three hundred taels to loan loan sharks, these six Month, my usury is more than three hundred taels."
Others just followed suit and shouted, "That's right! We want you to pay it back in one go!"
Hearing this, Chen Yan stopped and stopped laughing immediately. She had already realized that it was probably her seventh uncle who was leading people to cause trouble. At the moment, she just looked at the seventh uncle coldly and said, "Seventh Uncle" Uncle, we made an agreement last month, and you agreed at that time. We agreed to pay it back on the 8th, three days in advance, and I agreed! Now you ask me to pay you all the money back, I think Ask, where do I get the money from! You might as well just kill me with a knife!"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, everyone else fell silent, but the seventh uncle said, "Yan'er, what are you talking about? Your shop is doing so well, how can you have no money!"
When Chen Yan heard this, she just said that these people were jealous of her business, so she could only continue to say helplessly, "I admit that the business of my shop is not bad now, but I have only opened it for a few days. No matter how good the business is, I still can't do it." It’s impossible to come up with five thousand taels at once.”
Then Chen Yan only looked at the others and said, "How about this? We all take a step back. I will still pay you a part of the money every month. Every time I add twenty taels to the original amount and it counts as mine." I also paid the interest, so that’s okay, right?”
Upon hearing that Chen Yan was adding interest, several people immediately started whispering among themselves. However, the seventh uncle was obviously a drunkard and was not interested in drinking, so he immediately said firmly, "That won't work!"
"What's wrong?" Chen Yan was not to be outdone.
"We want you to return all the money to us right away! If you really have no money, I won't force you, then you can mortgage your shop to us. This will wipe the account off." The seventh uncle shouted loudly. .
hear this
Here, there is something else Chen Yan doesn’t understand.
This person simply came here for his own shop.
However, the others obviously did not reach a unified opinion with Uncle Qi. They were obviously still very excited about the agreement to add twenty taels of interest every month.
Once Chen Yan learned about this situation, she had an idea.
Although Uncle Qi had already tried to see the dagger, Chen Yan was not angry because of the dagger in Uncle Qi's hand.
On the contrary, she was even calmer now.
"I really can't help it. Since Uncle Qi, you insist that I return the money to you, then I'll just return it to you. I still have the three hundred taels here."
After finishing her words, Chen Yan returned the three hundred taels to Uncle Qi without blinking.
She then looked at Uncle Qi and said, "Uncle Qi, are you satisfied? Here are three hundred taels."
Uncle Qi obviously didn't expect that Chen Yan could actually take it out, and he was dumbfounded for a moment.
Chen Yan then said to Uncle Qi, "Uncle Qi, since you have taken the money, I ask you to leave."
Uncle Qi obviously didn't want to leave at this moment. After all, his goal had not been achieved yet, so he just continued to yell, "Why are there only three hundred taels!"
Chen Yan just said calmly, "You only lent me three hundred taels back then."
"But didn't you say twenty taels per month? In six installments, you have to give me another one hundred and twenty taels. Even in five installments, you still have to give me one hundred taels."
Upon hearing Uncle Qi's words, Chen Yan obviously underestimated how shameless the other party was.
"You rejected the proposal I mentioned. This was not stated in the IOU I made with you. If you are not convinced, you can go to the government!"
After hearing what Chen Yan said, Uncle Qi was obviously still not convinced.
But Chen Yan said angrily, "Uncle Qi, I respect you as an elder. Now that the money has been paid back, I ask you to leave my house!"
At the same time, as Chen Yan's words fell, Chen Yan's new puppy was also released by the Chen family's nephew. In an instant, the puppy barked at Uncle Qi.
Seeing this situation, Uncle Qi could only leave in anger.
After sending Uncle Qi away, it will be much easier to deal with the next people.
After all, it was obvious that Uncle Qi was the mastermind behind today's debt collection.
So Chen Yan only looked at these people and said, "I know that all your uncles and uncles are willing to lend me money because they trust and respect me! I am also very grateful to you in my heart, but I still have some ugly things to say. I am not I am not willing to pay back the money to you uncles and uncles. Even on the original basis, I am willing to add an interest of twenty taels per month. This money may not be much for you uncles and uncles, but it is what I am currently paying. The highest price I can offer.”
"If the uncles and uncles are still willing to pay in installments, I can add another twenty taels to you on the original basis. If you are not willing, I will sell the iron to you, and I can return the money to you all in one go."
"But if you are interested in my shop, then I'm sorry, my shop will never be resold."
After hearing what Chen Yan said, everyone still didn't understand.
Almost most of the people who were still clamoring with Uncle Qi just now chose to settle the matter and continue to carry out the original installment repayment.
After all, compared to getting nothing, having an extra twenty taels of silver per month is actually not a bad choice.
After that, Chen Yan naturally started to pay back the money according to her new rules.
Although her expenses have increased a lot this time, fortunately, she doesn't have to sell iron at last.
After settling these matters and sending away the last batch of debt collectors, Chen Yan finally handed over the remaining one hundred taels of silver to her grandmother. "Grandma, this is the money I have left. Please take it." .”
Chen Yan's grandmother naturally refused to accept the offer, "Yan'er, you have to have money yourself, and it's been a long time since you bought new clothes. You are a boss, so you should buy some new clothes for yourself."
Hearing her grandmother's words, Chen Yan felt inexplicably sad. Ever since their home was ransacked, their family had really no money. In order to survive this period, they sold almost everything they could, so the family
Until now, I don’t even have a few decent clothes.
Fortunately, I opened a branch in Xiaochunshan, and now the business is getting better and better.
Your life will definitely get better and better.
So thinking of these, Chen Yan felt that life was full of hope. She held her grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, don't worry, the store I'm opening now is making money, so you don't have to worry about my granddaughter. This money is given to you so that you can take care of the food at home."
When he said this, the two brothers Chen Lang and Chen Pu also walked out.
Seeing the two siblings, Chen Yan naturally remembered that there was no source of income during these days, and Chen Lang's studies almost stopped.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but said to the old lady, "Grandma, Alang's studies are also important. If you have enough money, you can't rest assured about Alang's studies."
Hearing her granddaughter's words, the old lady nodded. Why didn't she understand this?
The Chen family's development to this day was due to her training her son to take the imperial examination and become an official?
Although accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, except for this road, other roads are not necessarily easy to walk.
Moreover, Chen Lang is a good young man who is good at studying. How could the old lady be willing to give up such a good young man and not cultivate him?
They had to drop out of school because they had no money before, but now Chen Yan is starting to make money.
In fact, the old lady had already been planning this from the moment Chen Yan handed the first money into her hands.
Now that Chen Yan had said it all, the old lady simply looked at Chen Lang and said, "Alang, you have to remember that your ability to resume school this time depends entirely on your Aunt Yan. If one day, when you succeed in your studies, you will be in high school." Number One Scholar, you must never forget what your Aunt Yan has done for you."
Although Chen Lang was very alienated from Chen Yan before.
However, after experiencing so many changes in human relationships, he also discovered that although Aunt Chen Yan was not stingy, at least she was a good person compared to others.
