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 also echoed. After saying that, she remembered something again. She frowned at Ning Ruyu and said, "By the way, do you know that your second uncle lost money when he bought jade?"
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 even know about such a big thing."
Miss Yu was very surprised and continued, "Half a year ago, a man from the Chen family took a fancy to the wool of a big stone further south, saying that the best jade would be found in it, but he didn't have that much cash and couldn't afford it.
, I found several people to buy together.
Among them is your second uncle. The one who has a lot of silver and the jade is mined will get more. The one who has a little silver will get a little less.
My eldest brother wanted to carve a Guanyin for my grandmother, so he paid five thousand taels of silver. He thought about finding 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."
"sky!"
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 produce jade at all, everyone lost everything.
My elder brother said this, and he was scolded by my father because he lost five thousand taels 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, she thought it would have little impact on the Ning family as the Ning family had a huge business! 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 car wall with some weakness.
The second uncle actually hid such a big thing from his family. That was fifty thousand taels of silver! It was either five hundred taels or not five thousand taels! Ning Ruyu hurried home and went to see her as soon as she got home
Father's study.
"father."
Ning Ruyu panted 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 him."
At this time, how could she care about the rules? "What's going on?"
Master 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."
