The pinnacle life starting from the son-in-law

Chapter 116 Selling the House and Repaying the Money

After hearing Fang's words, Wang Bowen's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, mother-in-law, just say it, and we will listen here."

Fang nodded and was about to speak, but Xia Mengmeng suddenly asked, "Second Mother, why is my father like this, he was fine when I left, why did he become like this in a blink of an eye?"

Hearing this, Fang's face felt embarrassed, and he quickly waved his hands, "Mengmeng, I left you here just to discuss this matter with you."

Xia Sisi asked suspiciously, "Second Mother, didn't you say that my father is fine?"

Fang shook her head, "What I want to talk about is not about your father, but about your ancestors."

Speaking of this, Fang's tone paused, and after scanning the people in the room, he continued, "Jizu owes some money to outsiders now, and I want you to help him to pay back the money."

Hearing Fang's words, everyone in the room looked at each other in blank dismay. After a while, Wang Bowen asked with a forced smile.

"Mother-in-law, how much money does your stepfather owe you?"

Before Fang Shi could answer, Xia Sisi said in a loud voice, "Second Mother, the successor is our younger brother, we won't ignore him."

Hearing this, Mrs. Fang glanced at Xia Sisi with relief, and sighed, "A total of 200 million taels of silver. I hope that the three of you, as sisters, can..."

"What?"

Before Fang's words were finished, Geng Zhongwu had already exclaimed, his eyes were wide open, he stared at Fang's closely, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Two million taels of silver, did I hear correctly?"

Needless to say Geng Zhongwu, even the usually calm Wang Bowen was frightened, and asked tentatively in a Xiyi tone.

"Master-in-law, we got it wrong, right? It's not two million taels of silver, right?"

In this room, the calmest person is undoubtedly Ye Qingli, because he already knew that Xia Jizu owed Jiang Wenxiang 200 million taels of silver.

Although Xia Mengmeng got the news from Ye Qingqing a long time ago, she still couldn't believe it in her heart. After hearing the exact answer this time, besides sighing, she could only lean on Ye Qingqing's body and weep silently .

Fang sighed after hearing Wang Bowen's words, "Bowen, the ancestor did owe Jiang Wenxiang 200 million taels of silver, and asked to pay it back within three days."

Having said that, Fang's tone paused, sighed, and then continued, ""

"Jizu is a good boy in essence. It was Jiang Wenxiang who brought him down, so I can't blame him."

Having said this, Fang's tone paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for everyone to answer his words, he continued on his own.

"Originally, you don't need to bother you with this matter, but the master is sick at this time, so I can only ask you for help."

Wang Bowen heard that although he did not get a definite answer from Fang, he already knew that the 200 million taels of silver was right.

Wang Bowen turned his head to look at Xia Shuheng who was on the hospital bed, and he understood in his heart why the old man suddenly became so ill. It must be because he heard the news and couldn't bear the blow, so he fell ill.

Seeing that everyone heard her words, they didn't speak up as enthusiastically as before, but just bowed their heads in silence. She couldn't help feeling angry, but thinking that the money borrowed by her son hadn't been settled yet, she could only hold back her anger. Turning to look at her most trusted eldest uncle, she asked with a smile.

"Bowen, how much money can you come up with?"

Hearing Fang's words, Wang Bowen wanted to answer that he could only get 20 taels of silver, but he dared not say.

Throwing 20 taels of silver into the large amount of 200 million taels of silver, there is almost no ripple.

Wang Bowen's anxious eyes rolled around, and he suddenly saw Xia Mengmeng. He was overjoyed and said hurriedly.

"Mother-in-law, Mengmeng has been taking care of the family affairs, why don't you ask her?"

When Fang heard this, her pretty face immediately sank, and she turned to look at the second uncle Geng Zhongwu, "Zhongwu, tell me the truth, how much money can you get?"

Hearing Fang's question, Geng Zhongwu's black face turned red immediately, he gritted his teeth, stretched out a finger, and was about to speak, but Fang already spoke first with a smile.

"100 million taels?"

Geng Zhongwu blushed even more, "1000 taels of silver!"

"1000 taels of silver?"

Fang looked at Geng Zhongwu with some disappointment. After a while, she turned to Xia Mengmeng and asked with a smile.

"Mengmeng, although he has left the Xia Mansion now, his ancestor is your own younger brother after all, and his affairs are also your affairs, so you must help him this time.

Mengmeng, how much silver can you come up with? "

After hearing Fang's question, Xia Mengmeng froze for a moment,

He wanted to speak, but Ye Qingqing spoke first.

"Since the second brother-in-law took out 1000 taels of silver, then we will also take 1000 taels of silver."

Seeing that after asking around, she only raised 2000 taels of silver, the smile on Fang's face could no longer be contained, she turned her head to look at Wang Bowen, and shouted sharply.

"Wang Bowen, you are the eldest son-in-law of the Xia family. You three aunts must also take out the 200 million taels owed by your ancestors. Otherwise, you will never enter the Xia family again."

At this point, Fang's tone paused, turned to look at Xia Sisi, and then continued, "Sisi, your stepfather is your younger brother, don't try to live your own good life all the time, your younger brother is in trouble now, Who else can he count on, can he count on me, an old woman?

Sisi, he still counts on you sisters! "

After hearing Fang's words, Xia Sisi turned to look at Wang Bowen, and asked in a whisper, "Bowen, how much money can we give?"

Hearing this, Wang Bowen sighed, "Sisi, all my money is with you, you should know better than me, right?"

Xia Sisi froze for a moment, then asked softly, "But I only have 500 taels of silver here...."

Having said that, Xia Sisi's tone paused, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Bowen, can you borrow some money from your father? First respond to the emergency for your ancestors?"

Hearing this, Fang said hurriedly, "Bowen, Sisi is right, first borrow 200 million taels of silver from your father, and we will pay you back later!"

Hearing this, Wang Bowen waved his hands hastily, "How can there be so many? Even if we sell our house, it can only be sold for 70 million taels. How could there be 200 million taels of silver?"

Hearing this, Fang's eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile, "Bowen, you have a good idea. If you sell your house, you can sell it for at least 70 taels of silver, and with some cash, you can make up for it anyway." Is it enough for 100 million taels of silver?"

After hearing Fang's words, Wang Bowen was stunned, and said with a wry smile, "Mother-in-law, if we sell the house, where will our family live?"

Fang blinked and said with a smile, "You can buy a smaller house to live in. We will pay back the money later, and at worst he will buy the house back."

Hearing Fang's unreasonable words, Wang Bowen was instantly furious, but he is a well-established person in the city, and he will never get angry easily.

Wang Bowen pondered for a while, then nodded, "Since the mother-in-law said so, then let's do it like this!"

After saying these words, Wang Bowen turned his head to look at Geng Zhongwu, and sneered in his heart. He didn't believe that Geng Zhongwu was willing to sell his house.

As soon as Wang Bowen's words fell, Xia Sisi's expression changed before Fang could answer, and she said in a loud voice.

"No, I don't agree!"

Having said that, Xia Sisi's tone paused for a moment, and she collected herself before continuing, "Bowen, at worst, let's borrow some money. How can we sell the house?"

Fang's face darkened when he heard the words, "Sisi, what do you mean, isn't Jizu your younger brother? Shouldn't you help Jizu?"

Xia Sisi smiled wryly and shook her head, "Er Niang, it's fine if we borrow the money, but if we sell the house, wouldn't we be homeless?"

When Fang heard this, she sneered, "Xia Sisi, let me tell you, if you don't sell the house, you will not enter Xia's house in the future."

After saying this, Fang stopped talking to Xia Sisi, turned to look at Geng Zhongwu, and asked loudly.

"Zhongwu, if Bowen can collect enough 100 million taels of silver, then you can prepare the remaining 100 million taels of silver. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Geng Zhongwu shook his head, "Mother-in-law, no, I really don't have that much money!"

Fang sighed, "Zhongwu, Bowen can sell the house in order to succeed his ancestors, can't you?"

Having said that, Fang's tone paused, and then continued, "Zhongwu, I remember that your house is also well decorated, I believe it should be no problem to sell it for seven to eight million or two years, why not just settle it like this, what do you think?"

After hearing Fang's words, Geng Zhongwu hurriedly waved his hands and said loudly, "No, if I sell the house, my father will break my legs, no, no..."

Looking at Geng Zhongwu who was shaking his head again and again, Fang said angrily, "Don't you want to help Jizu?"

Geng Zhongwu shook his head, "I think, but I don't have that much money?"

Seeing this, Xia Panpan hurriedly said, "Er Niang, we really can't afford so much money, why don't we go back and discuss it, and we'll get back to you in a few days?"

Hearing Xia Panpan's words, Wang Bowen rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "My lord mother-in-law, Panpan is right, such a big matter, why should we go back and discuss it!"

At this point, Wang Bowen's tone paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for Fang's answer, he continued on his own.

"Mother-in-law, I don't think it's better than this. Let's go back and discuss it first, and I'll give you an answer in a few days. What do you think?"

Fang frowned when she heard the words, turned to look at Wang Bowen, then at Xia Panpan, nodded, "Okay, I will give you one day, and you will give me an answer at this time tomorrow."

Hearing Fang's words, everyone in the room felt amnesty, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Wang Bowen didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Mrs. Fang, and hurried away with Xia Sisi.

When Wang Bowen left, Geng Zhongwu felt restless, so he didn't want to stay any longer, so he took Xia Panpan and left.

Ye Qingqing saw that there was no one in the house, so he cupped his hands towards Fang, "Mother-in-law, since we are fine, let's go back too."

Fang's heart was restless, too lazy to look at Ye Qingqing, she waved her hand and left the room first.

Although Fang was being unreasonable, Ye Qingqing didn't want to argue with her, turned his head to look at Xia Mengmeng, and said softly.

"Mengmeng, why don't we finish our meal later and go to four places to see where is suitable for our home?"

Xia Mengmeng shook her head when she heard the words, "No need, such a big incident happened at home, why am I still thinking about it!"

……

Ye Qingqing led Xia Mengmeng back to the inn, and after lunch, seeing Xia Mengmeng's miserable face, he dragged the crowd to stroll on the street.

Ye Qingqing wanted to buy a house, but Xia Mengmeng didn't have the mood to go, so he had no choice but to let it go.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Mengmeng had something on her mind, so she pulled Yiye to the Xia Mansion with ease.

Although the two came early, Fang did not see them, so Xia Mengmeng could only take Ye Qingqing to Xia Shuheng's room.

Xia Mengmeng sat by the bed, looked at the unconscious Xia Shuheng, recalled how kind her father was to her in the past, and felt sore in her heart, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Ye Qingyi sighed, knowing that it was useless to say anything at the moment, so he could only sit silently beside Xia Mengmeng and accompany her.

It was almost noon when Fang Shi appeared in the room, but there was one more person behind her, and it was Fang Shi's cousin Hu Renjie.

As soon as Fang entered the room, he frowned and asked, "Aren't Wang Bowen and Geng Zhongwu here yet?"

Ye Qingqing shook his head when he heard the words, "We've been here all this time, and we haven't seen anyone come here before!"

Hearing Ye's relaxed answer, Fang's face suddenly became ugly.

Seeing this, Hu Renjie behind her hurriedly whispered something in her ear.

After listening to Hu Renjie's words, Fang hurriedly called Chuntao, "Send someone to Wang's and Geng's homes immediately, and call them all here."

Chuntao nodded hurriedly when she heard this, and walked out of the room quickly.

After Chuntao left the room, Fang came slowly to the bed, looked at Xia Mengmeng beside the bed, and said with a sneer.

"Mengmeng, my cousin visited the store yesterday. He said that the location of our store is very good. It's just that you didn't manage well before and didn't manage well, so you didn't make enough money."

Hu Renjie at the side heard the words and hurriedly cupped his fists at Xia Mengmeng, "Miss San, please don't get me wrong, I am not targeting Miss San, I am just discussing the matter."

Speaking of this, Hu Renjie paused for a moment before continuing, "Although the location of this shop is very good, its management is backward. Compared with the jade shop I have in the capital, it is a world of difference.

I think this may be the reason why this jade shop can't make money? "

Speaking of this, Hu Renjie cupped his fists at Xia Mengmeng again, "Miss San, I wonder if what I'm saying is right?"

After hearing Hu Renjie's question, Xia Mengmeng frowned, and was about to speak, but Ye Qingqing spoke first.

"Mr. Hu, you are too polite. Mengmeng doesn't care about these things anymore. From now on, you will be in charge of the jade business. Now that you have seen the problem, you can just go about it boldly..., no, it's bold Just go and try."

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Hu Renjie nodded with a smile, "Since the third lady said the same thing, then I must do my best to make Xia's jade shop the largest jade shop in Pingyang City, so as to live up to the second lady's respect for it." My trust."

After hearing Hu Renjie's words, Fang nodded in satisfaction, "Cousin, just do it, and if anything happens, just call me."

Hu Renjie hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Second Madam, for your trust!"
