Ning Ruyu gritted her teeth, tugged the corners of her mouth and showed an unattractive smile, and explained under the concerned eyes of the two little sisters: "Nothing happened to my family. My second uncle is taking care of the family property. I
I don’t know why he sold the tea mountain, I guess he sold it because he thought the tea mountain was not profitable!”
Li Mingyue nodded and said: "It is true that growing tea is not profitable these days, but after all, this is an industry passed down from ancestors. It is not good to sell it."
"Yes!" Miss Yu's family also echoed. After saying that, she remembered something again. She frowned and looked at Ning Ruyu and said, "By the way, your second uncle lost money when he bought jade."
do you know?"
Ning Ruyu shook her head and said, "Second uncle is in charge of business matters, and I don't know about it."
"You don't know about such a big thing." Ms. Yu's family was very surprised and continued, "Half a year ago, the Chen family took a fancy to the wool of a big stone further south, saying that the top quality jade would be found in it.
Come, but he didn’t have that much cash and couldn’t afford it, so he found people from several houses to buy together. Among them was your second uncle, who had a lot of silver. Once the jade was mined, he would get more money.
Those who get less will get less. My eldest brother wanted to carve a Guanyin for my grandmother, so he paid five thousand taels of silver. He thought he could find jade, so he divided a piece of it to carve a Guanyin for my grandmother."
After saying this, Miss Yu paused, looked at Ning Ruyu and said: "Your second uncle paid a lot, he paid fifty thousand taels directly. The stone costs one hundred thousand taels of silver, and your second uncle paid the most."
"Oh my God!" Li Mingyue covered her mouth in surprise, "Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount!"
Yu Youran said that Ruyu's second uncle lost money when he bought jade, but he lost all 50,000 taels of silver?
Ning Ruyu's eyes widened in shock. She looked after Yu Youran and asked, "How much did my second uncle lose?"
Yu Youran looked at Ning Ruyu with some sympathy and said: "That piece of hair didn't come out with jade at all, everyone was compensated. My elder brother said this, and he also lost five thousand because of it.
My father scolded me for two pieces of silver."
If she hadn't suddenly learned that the second uncle of the Ning family had sold the tea mountain, she would have forgotten about it. Although fifty thousand taels of silver was a lot, the Ning family had a big business, so she thought it would have no impact on the Ning family!
But now it seems that the second uncle of the Ning family will sell off the ancestral property because the Ning family has no money.
It was all a loss. Ning Ruyu's shoulders slumped, and she sat leaning against the wall of the car with some weakness. Her second uncle actually hid such a big thing from the family. That was fifty thousand taels of silver! It wasn't five.
One hundred taels is not five thousand taels!
Ning Ruyu hurried home and went to her father's study as soon as she got home.
"Dad." Ning Ruyu gasped and ran into the study.
Mr. Ning, who was wearing a navy blue brocade robe, was reading in the study. When he saw his eldest daughter, who had always been steady and decent, running into the study rashly, he frowned in displeasure and said, "Why are you running? Do you have any rules?
Already?"
Ning Ruyu stood still in front of the desk, looked at her father anxiously and said, "Something happened to Dad." At this time, how could she care about the rules?
"What's the matter?" Mr. Ning put down the book in his hand and asked calmly.
Ning Ruyu said hurriedly: "Second uncle bought jade and wool together with others, and lost fifty thousand taels of silver. He also sold our family's ancestral tea mountain."
