Wanghai County, Changping Village.
Not long after returning to the Luo family, the subordinates in the town came back with news.
The message was written on a piece of paper. Yang Ruoqing scanned it at a glance, then put the note into a charcoal pot next to it and burned it.
After sitting at the desk and meditating for a moment, Yang Ruoqing picked up a pen and wrote a note, then grabbed a shiny homing pigeon from the pigeon cage in the backyard, tied it to the pigeon's ankle, and then released the homing pigeon.
In town, Baimeizhai.
Dabai didn't sleep well all night, so much so that he almost failed to complete his business this morning. It was Hongmei who finally kicked him out of bed.
"There is a long line of customers outside waiting to buy breakfast, but you are still lying in bed and your business is not going on? Are you having a hard time?"
Dabai yawned and said, "I thought about the plan to make a fortune that my eldest cousin told me last night."
"If it happened, who would still do such a small business? You can't even make a penny from a bun!"
Hearing Dabai's words, Hongmei rolled her eyes: "You don't know what kind of person your eldest cousin is? Do you want to follow him to make money? Oh, if he really had that ability, he would have made a fortune by himself long ago. If I go, will I still think of you?"
"In other words, if you found a way to make a fortune, would you say no to Xiao Hei?"
Dabai shook his head decisively without thinking.
"How is that possible? I'm not a coward!"
Hongmei clapped her hands together: "Then it's over, isn't it? You're not a coward, so is your eldest cousin a coward?"
"If he really has a way to make a fortune, the first person to talk about it should be his brothers and cousins, not you!"
"Besides, it's not like he didn't bring his cousin Yang Yongbai into business a few years ago? What's the result?"
"He abducted Yang Yongbai's mother-in-law, and Yang Yongbai's family was wiped out. He was too embarrassed to return to Changping Village. Do you want to follow in Yang Yongbai's footsteps?"
Hongmei's words were like a ladle of cold water, directly pouring Dabai's heart out.
Only then did he realize that the long conversation he had with his eldest cousin Yang Yongxian last night, especially when the eldest cousin took out the little goldfish and gave it to the unborn child in Hongmei's belly as a meeting gift, This generosity suddenly made Dabai lose his judgment, and he wanted to make a fortune with Yang Yongxian!
"Hongmei, it has to be you. I was almost, really almost, fooled by the Japanese!" Dabai's face was full of fear.
He raised his head and looked at his shop. It was a three-story shop, with people living on the third floor, private rooms on the second floor, and a dining hall on the first floor.
The backyard is equipped with a stove, several warehouses and utility rooms, as well as a place for the guys to stay.
Even if it takes a little hard work to maintain such a shop, as long as it is open every day, after deducting the principal at the end of the day, you can basically earn more than two taels of silver!
At the end of each month, after deducting the wages paid to the guys and the expenses incurred in managing the relationships between all parties, the pure money received every month was nearly ten taels of silver.
Work hard, and if you work like this for a year, you will have a hundred taels of silver on hand.
If you work hard like this for three or four years, you will be able to buy a two-entry yard in a good area of the county and truly make your home a part of the county.
If he continues to work like this for two or three years, he will have another two to three hundred taels of silver in hand, and he can go to the county to buy two shops.
As long as you buy a shop and rely on the shop to collect rent, you won't have to worry about food and clothing.
If you don't buy a house or a shop, but use these hundreds of taels of silver to buy fertile farmland, obediently, even if the price of first-class farmland has increased to eighty taels of silver per acre, you can still get it if you drop these three to four hundred taels of silver. Purchase about fifty acres!
At that time, you will be a proper small landowner, just sit at home and wait for the rent to be collected!
All in all, just stick to this shop and don't think too much.
The upper and lower floors of this shop are properties that belong to him and Hongmei. They are their own houses and they don't need to pay rent.
Even if he is not from the county town, he is still a proper town citizen and has long since escaped from the dirty and smelly village.
How good?
good!
"As for my eldest cousin, I'll find a reason to refuse you later!" Dabai said.
Hongmei nodded: "That's for sure. I'll keep the little goldfish and won't return it."
Dabai was in trouble, "That's not possible. It's such an expensive little goldfish. Since we won't do business with him, we can't ask for something so expensive!"
Hongmei looked at Dabai: "Hey, when did you become so polite and moral?"
Dabai shook his head: "It's not that I talk about etiquette and morality, but that my eldest cousin is not easy to mess with! Didn't you see last night that the men in the caravan who came with him were not easy to mess with. Look Here are a bunch of desperadoes!”
Hearing Dabai's words, Hongmei was also a little scared.
"If you say that, will we be retaliated against by him if we reject his request for partnership?" Hongmei asked.
Dabai thought for a while: "You shouldn't dare to take revenge. After all, this is Qingshui Town, only seven or eight miles away from Changping Village."
"My eldest cousin is not afraid of anything else. What I am most afraid of is the old Yang family, Cousin Qing'er and the others!" m.877zwm
Because from the conversation with his eldest cousin last night, Dabai vaguely heard that his eldest cousin seemed to have been defrauded of a sum of money by cousin Qing'er somewhere.
Not only cousin Qing'er, but also Jiang Guiling from the fifth room...
The two women teamed up and defrauded their eldest cousin of a huge sum of money.
Just Cousin Qing'er, she was always not easy to mess with, but what Dabai didn't expect was that Jiang Guiling, the mother-in-law of Dabao's family who could cause trouble just by looking at her, would be so ruthless behind her back!
She also knows how to hug cousin Qing'er's thigh!
It seems that the interpersonal relationships in the old Yang family are not that simple!
"I can't take the little goldfish, for fear of causing trouble." Dabai added.
Hongmei had no choice but to take out the little goldfish and reluctantly threw it to Dabai.
It doesn't matter whether you throw it away or not. As soon as it was thrown, one of the little goldfish's eyes inlaid with rubies fell out.
"It's over!"
Dabai's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to look for it. Then he found the ruby as big as a sesame seed at Hongmei's feet. He picked it up and stuffed it into the little goldfish's eye socket.
But it couldn't be stuffed in.
"How did you get it in? This thing is fake, it will fall off as soon as you drop it!"
Seeing this, Hongmei was a little embarrassed. She really just threw it casually without using any force. Why did it just happen?
Fortunately it didn't break!
"I can't do it, what should I do?" Dabai struggled for a while, but it still didn't work, and he was so anxious that he was sweating.
If you can't do this, you won't be able to return the jade intact to Zhao. It will be difficult to explain to your eldest cousin if he takes advantage of this.
Suddenly, Hongmei said: "I have an idea, just wait for me!"
After a bowl of tea, the little goldfish's eyes really returned to their original position.
Dabai breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but praise Hongmei: "It has to be you, you are amazing, you actually thought of using this thing to stick!"
Hongmei said: "Stop boasting, I have no intention of occupying the little goldfish now. You should hurry up and return the things to your older cousin!"
