Chapter 165 Borrowing Money
Tian Yuheng thought that they were indeed the ones who robbed the money here, so he should ask Lei Yu about the situation. They were all destined to meet each other, and Lei Yu was now a franchisee of their Fangtian Cloth Shop, so there was no reason for him to ignore him.
When Tian Yuheng and his men found Lei Yu's house, they discovered that they seemed to be moving.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Lei Yulei at home? I am his friend, my last name is Tian." Tian Yuheng had never been to the Lei family's main residence in An County before, and he only knew about this place after asking around.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I will go in and inform our young master for you."
Not long after, the servants invited Tian Yuheng and his friends in. When they came in, Tian Yuheng found that they seemed to be packing up and moving.
"Brother Lei, are you moving away?"
Lei Yu looked at Tian Yuheng, feeling extremely regretful. He had not listened to the other party at the beginning, and as a result, his money was defrauded away. Now his other business was in trouble, and now he had to vacate his ancestral home and rent it out to others.
"Brother Tian, if only I had listened to you at the beginning. Now I know that you all wanted to persuade me, but I didn't listen to a word you said. I only thought about making a lot of money. Now, the money is gone, and everything is gone." Lei Yu touched the chair he was sitting on, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Brother Lei, what are you talking about? Didn't you go and inquire about the lawsuit?"
"What lawsuit? Oh, you mean that group of swindlers? Has the county sentenced them? Even if it has been sentenced, I'm afraid I can't get the money back. I heard that our county magistrate is greedy for money. How many officials are good?" Lei Yu became more and more aggrieved and angry as he spoke. "Well, forget it. But thank you, Brother Tian, for coming to see me. It's a coincidence that you came today. Why don't we have a meal together here before leaving? I'm afraid you may not see me in this county again in the future."
"Brother Lei, why do you want to move away? Even if the franchise thing is fake, isn't your shop still there? And everything else is fine too?"
"You don't know that this franchise matter caused quite a stir in our An County at that time. Many people knew about it, so I went to the pawnshop to guarantee that I could get a franchise quota in the county. I also used my only remaining farm as collateral and asked the pawnshop to lend me money so that I could invest in the new business.
Now that the franchise is gone, the pawnshop people asked me for money, but I couldn’t give it out. Now I can only sell the farm and half of the ancestral property, rent out the rest, and move to the countryside, where my father used to live in his old age. Fortunately, my father is not here this time, otherwise if he knew, I’m afraid he would be really mad at me this time. ”
Lei Yu's mental state is beginning to become a little decadent. If he didn't have a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, he would have hidden away like last time.
Seeing that Lei Yu was just a little depressed after the series of misfortunes, but did not give up on himself, Tian Yuheng looked at him with a new respect, so he opened his mouth to test him, "Brother Lei, what are you going to do in the future? How are you going to do it? Do you want to start all over again?"
"I will work hard on farming in the future, and I will have some money to help my father enjoy his old age. If I have the chance in the future, I would still like to try, but I will ask my father to help me take a look. I will not mortgage all my belongings, which has caused me to almost lose my ancestral property."
"Have you found a buyer?"
"My house? Once we move out, we'll find a renter to look after it. But I'm afraid the farm will be gone. I'm sorry, Brother Tian. I know you care about Uncle Hu and the others, but it's a pity that I couldn't keep my own business." Lei Yu felt like he had sold out his family and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Since it hasn't been sold yet, why don't I buy it?" Tian Yuheng didn't plan to tell the other party the truth now. He felt that Lei Yu should learn a lesson. He didn't inquire about any information carefully. He suffered a lot, but he didn't learn any wisdom.
Now several merchants who were cheated have obtained the franchise and are in the process of preparation, but Lei Yu is still here. He didn't even go to ask anyone. It's really disappointing.
"Really? Brother Tian, do you want my farm or my house? Oh, either one is fine. Whatever price you want, but even if we are friends, I can't give you a too low price. You know I have to pay off my debts now, but I can lower the price as long as you are willing to buy it."
Lei Yu couldn't believe what Tian Yuheng said, but it would be great if he could sell his house to the other party. And at the manor, Old Hu would also have a good place to live in. If he really wanted to sell it to someone else, he would feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Lei Yu grabbing at the last straw, Tian Yuheng couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Okay, don't worry, I don't need you to lower the price. I'll buy your ancestral home and farm. No matter how much money you owe, just consider it as these things to me. I'll lend you money to pay off your debts. When you make money, I'll pay you back in full. How about it?"
"What, Brother Tian, I, I know you have good intentions, but this is not a small amount of money, you should do it according to your ability, I owe a lot of money, plus the interest, I am afraid you may not be able to come up with this money, forget it, why don't you take a look at my farm, if you can buy it, I will sell it to you at a low price, we are friends after all, I will give you a friendly price."
Knowing that Tian Yuheng wanted to help him, Lei Yu was very happy, but he also knew that he and his sister were just running a small business. He owed so much money, and they had rented their own shop before. How could they come up with so much money now?
Seeing that Lei Yu seemed a little unconvinced, Tian Yuheng directly took out a dozen banknotes and placed them on the table, "Well, let's see if this is enough."
Lei Yu was stunned by the ostentatious look of Tian Yuheng. He really didn't expect that Tian Yuheng had such an ostentatious side. But he still picked up the banknotes on the table and counted them carefully. The first time he counted out 20,000 taels, he was still a little unconvinced, so he counted it again. When he finished counting, he was so excited that he couldn't help it.
"This, this, Brother Tian, I didn't expect you to be so, so rich." Lei Yu felt that he couldn't speak at all. This was the first time someone gave him such a large sum of money, and he didn't seem to care. He couldn't believe that he was so lucky.
Seeing Lei Yu's reaction, Tian Yuheng laughed and said, "Okay, is this enough? If not, my sister still has some. This money was given to me by my sister to invest in the shop, so you should keep it."
"Okay, please be sure to thank Sister Xing'er for me. I will go there in person to thank her some other day. Oh, by the way, it doesn't have to be so much. Ten thousand taels will be enough. I'll go get some paper and write an IOU. I won't take your things for nothing, don't worry." Lei Yu said in a panic and went to get some paper himself.
He took a large stack of paper and wrote a note carefully. After writing it, he read it carefully several times before giving it to Tian Yuheng. "How about it, Brother Tian? Do you think this is okay? Or you can write it yourself. It's up to you."
"Well, let's change this." Tian Yuheng took the pen and wrote another one. At first, it was the same, but later he waived all the interest, which made Lei Yu excited again.
"Okay, here you go." Tian Yuheng felt amused and thought about telling the other party about joining the franchise later, wondering how he would react.
