The General's Mansion delivered the silver and land deeds as promised. After receiving these, Zhu Shenzui immediately divided the agreed shares among the three of them.
Seeing the white money in hand, the three of them were ecstatic, especially Zhu Minchu, who shed tears of excitement when holding the money and the land deed.
After suffering for so many years, I finally have hope. With this money, my family's life can suddenly get better. The same was true for the other two people. Zhu Qiuqi was laughing so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth and kept having fun.
According to Zhu Qiuqi's suggestion, we had to have a good drink today, everyone was happy. However, Zhu Shenzui refused. He said that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and there were still things to be busy with at home. There was only so much time to come in the future, so there was no need to wait for this wine to be drunk today.
And he also reminded them that although the money was a lot, it would eventually be spent. It was better to use the money to invest in some industries and buy a few acres of land, even if it was a loan or something, than sitting on nothing.
The three of them all smiled and said that they knew what was going on, so Zhu Shenzui could rest assured. Brothers Zhu Minfeng and Zhu Minxu were okay. Zhu Shenzui was quite relieved, but Zhu Qiuqi was usually a waste of money. Zhu Shenzui winked at Zhu Minfeng and told him to keep an eye on his nephew. Let him waste the money easily, Zhu Minfeng nodded knowingly, indicating that he understood.
After the breakup, Zhu Shenzui didn't go home. Seeing that it was still early, he went straight to Kang's tofu workshop.
When I got there, I saw that the business of Kang's tofu workshop was good, with many customers coming and going.
Although something happened before and the business was somewhat affected, as time went by, the business of the Kang family's tofu workshop gradually recovered a lot. In addition, now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, more people are buying tofu than before. It seems that the previous influence has almost faded away.
After standing at the door for a while, Kang Youfu, who was busy inside, inadvertently raised his head and saw Zhu Shenzui outside the door. When he saw him coming, his face suddenly lit up with joy. Kang Youfu was about to put down his work and greet Zhu Shenzui, but saw Zhu Shenzui. Zhui shook his head at him and pointed in one direction. Kang Youfu nodded in understanding.
It was the same teahouse where he had tea last time. Zhu Shenzui entered the teahouse and went to the private room on the second floor. He ordered a pot of tea and sat down. He drank the tea and waited patiently. Not long after, Kang Youfu arrived.
"Have you finished serving the customers in the store?"
"At this time, the workshop at the back has already closed. I asked my second brother to go to the front to take my place. Why don't you take the time to see Mr. Liu?" Kang Youfu said with a smile.
Zhu Shenzui was also happy when he heard this. He nodded and poured a cup of tea for Kang Youfu: "Is your Kang's shop doing well these days?"
"Thanks to you, Master Liu, the business in the shop has indeed recovered a lot." Kang Youfu said, straightened his expression, and knelt down towards Zhu Shenzui: "Master Liu, your great kindness and virtue are nothing to think of." Report, I’m going to kowtow to you, Mr. Liu..."
"Get up, this is a teahouse, it's really not good for people to see it." Zhu Shenzui quickly advised.
But even so, Kang Youfu still respectfully kowtowed to Zhu Shenzui three times before getting up.
"Sit...sit..." Zhu Shenzhui shook his head reproachfully and pointed to the chair beside him for Kang Youfu to sit down and talk.
Kang Youfu sat down and looked at Zhu Shenzui with admiration and gratitude in his eyes. Zhu Shenzui told him before that it was not difficult to get revenge. At that time, Kang Youfu was still doubtful. After all, the Liu family's high-end compound is not an ordinary family. , especially Liu Shancheng, the head of the Liu family, is a resident of Pingyang City. With so many connections in shopping malls and official circles, how easy is it to overthrow the Liu family?
But Kang Youfu never expected that Zhu Shenzui would beat the Liu family with a few small attempts at Sanshou. In the blink of an eye, the huge Liu family would become a thing of the past. Liu Shancheng had "committed suicide out of fear of crime" in prison. Not only He, not even the second and third bedrooms of the Liu family, and even the entire Liu family, did not benefit. Except for a few people, the entire Liu family was implicated.
The Liu family is in ruins, and Liu Qi, the head of the Kang family who framed them in the first place, is not much better. Just a few days ago, Liu Qi was also involved in the Liu family's affairs and was already in jail. Upon further inquiry, it turned out that Liu Qi's crime was not a small one. Although it did not involve beheading, a sentence of exile was appropriate.
In this way, the Kang family's great revenge was avenged, and Kang Youfu breathed a sigh of relief.
These are all thanks to Zhu Shenzui. If Zhu Shenzui had not helped the Kang family to stand up, I would never be able to avenge this revenge in my lifetime.
Zhu Shenzui saved the Kang family before, which made Kang Youfu grateful. This time he avenged the Kang family. In Kang Youfu's heart, even if Zhu Shenzui asked him to go up the mountain of knives and into the sea of fire, he would never do it. Will frown.
"There is no need to talk about the affairs of the Liu family. What you sow will bear fruit, and every drink and peck will determine the outcome. The Liu family brought this fate on themselves." Zhu Shenzui said this calmly while drinking tea, and then continued from He took out thirty taels of silver collars from his arms and put them in front of Kang Youfu, telling him that this was the compensation he had collected for the Kang family after the fall of the Liu family. It could also be regarded as compensation for Liu Shancheng's help in Liu Qi's almost cheating of the Kang family.
Seeing this, Kang Youfu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he was inexplicably moved. Although thirty taels of silver collar is not a small amount, although the Kang family is a businessman, they cannot make this kind of money after two or three months of trading. Now Zhu Shenzui not only avenged him, but also asked for compensation from the Kang family. Such kindness was simply impossible to repay. If he accepted this money, could he still be considered a human being?
Kang Youfu immediately shook his head and refused to accept the money. No matter how much Zhu Shenzui persuaded him, he refused to agree. Seeing how determined he was, Zhu Shenzui had no choice but to give up and take the money back.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, how is your father's health?"
"I'm sorry for my thoughts, Mr. Six. After what happened last time, his body has become much weaker. However, he has been taking medicine these days and has improved slightly."
"What about the business in the shop? Are you busy?"
"It's okay. In fact, my father planned to hand over the family business to his younger brother two years ago. The second younger brother is a good at making tofu. My father said that he is better at making tofu than he is. Yeah. My second brother is taking care of the workshop at the back. Although it's a bit busier, he can still manage it." When talking about things at home, Kang Youfu smiled.
Zhu Shenzui praised it and said that this is not bad. The old man is old and it is time to enjoy the blessings. Since the two brothers can take over the ancestral business, there will be no problem. However, the old man is still here and the brothers have not separated. But once the old man leaves, the two brothers can't always take care of the ancestral business together, right? No matter how good the relationship between brothers is, there must be priorities. Hasn't the old man considered this?
Hearing Zhu Shenzui's question, Kang Youfu sighed. He frankly told Zhu Shenzui that he was right. In fact, since the last incident, his father Kang Tai had talked to the two brothers in private. According to Kang Tai's idea is that the foundation of a tofu workshop is to make tofu, and the skill of making tofu is the foundation of their Kang family.
To talk about this, it must be Kang Youlu.
However, Kang Youfu is the eldest, and the efforts he has made in his own shop over the years are obvious to all. Kang Tai has no prejudice against the two brothers, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. Whether it is the eldest or the second child, he takes over. The ancestral business is their own business.
But no matter what, just as Zhu Shenzui said, even a family has to prioritize in the end, and Kang Youfu also understands this in his heart. Therefore, Kang Youfu has privately promised his father Kang Tai that in the future, this ancestral business should be given to his younger brother Kang Youlu. With Kang Youlu's tofu skills, he can fully afford this ancestral business. It would be different if it were him, Kang Youfu, who could make tofu. To put it bluntly, he is simply not as good as his younger brother.
As for himself, Kang Youfu is confident that he will build a new family business based on his years of experience, so his father Kangtai does not have to worry about this. In the past few years, he will help his younger brother Kang Youlu, and then slowly find opportunities to do other things. After hearing what the boss said, Kangtai had mixed feelings in his heart. He was happy for the boss's sensibleness, but at the same time he felt guilty for being indebted to him.
"Do you really think so?"
"Half and half." Kang Youfu said with a smile: "We have been close brothers since childhood, and to be honest, my second brother's tofu is really good. If he takes over the ancestral business, the brand of Kang's tofu shop will not survive. This is Fact. But then again, it’s not entirely true to say that I don’t have some knots in my heart, but so what? The younger brother is the eldest brother, and my second brother is a boring gourd with a straightforward personality. It is definitely not possible to let him go out on his own. . As for the younger me, maybe I can try, but if it doesn’t work, I won’t be able to do anything outside. The ancestral business at home is still there. If I can’t break out, my second brother won’t disown me as the eldest brother when he comes home, right?”
"Hahaha, this sentence makes sense." Zhu Shenzui suddenly put his hands on his hands and laughed. Kang Youfu's words are true. He is indeed a smart man. Many people don't understand what giving up means, but Kang Youfu understands it very well. He This choice not only takes into account family ties, but also leaves an escape route for oneself. On the surface, it seems that it is a loss, but in fact it is an advantage.
