"I paid back the 50,000 taels of benefits you gave Butler Qin. Even more than what you spent, I paid an additional 50,000 taels."
The old lady plucked her fingers to settle the score for Su Cheng.
"Based on this, you have made a net profit of fifty thousand taels in more than three months. How could you lose money?"
"Old madam, no wonder you sold Zhuangzi to turn around other businesses..."
Su Cheng sneered, "You keep calling yourself a businessman here, but you don't have any business ideas at all!"
"Boss Su, it's obviously you who has repeatedly accused me, so why do you want to accuse me?" The old lady became angry with embarrassment.
Su Cheng endured hardship because of what the old lady did to the young master.
He didn't want to continue pretending to be with her, and immediately fell out with the old lady.
"How am I falsely accusing you? I'm just mocking you!"
"you!"
The old lady slapped the table and stood up, "Boss Su, don't toast me and you will be fined if you don't eat!"
"Oh?" Su Cheng clicked his tongue, "Old madam, do you think you can give me a fine drink because of two cheats in the house at the same time?"
"The Chen family of the eight great aristocratic families has fallen into this state. Your son's success at such an old age is only one of the factors. Your stupidity is the biggest reason for the decline of the Chen family."
"What did you say?"
The old lady's eyes turned red with anger at these words, "Boss Su, don't go too far!"
"Old madam, don't go too far!"
Su Cheng returned these words to the old lady intact.
The old lady staggered because of Su Cheng's anger. She stroked her heart and couldn't say a word for a long time.
At this time, Wen's mother couldn't help but speak for her master.
"Boss Su, our old lady just redeemed Zhuangzi again after we got money."
"If you don't want to sell, you should tell us frankly. Aren't you just playing tricks on us like this?"
"Haha, you really want to incriminate yourself," Su Cheng smiled coldly, "Does this allow me to refuse?"
"You guys are so aggressive and barged into my house without saying hello. Did you ask me if I wanted to sell it in advance?"
"Four hundred thousand taels to buy back Zhuangzi?"
Su Cheng pointed to the golden fields outside the window, "Now is the busy farming season, and the day to collect tenant rent will soon come."
"When I bought the village, I bought it with the tenants of the farmers. We wrote it clearly in black and white..."
"When you bought Zhuangzi back, have you considered how to compensate me for this part?"
"Mrs. Chen, if Zhuangzi is still in your hands now, would you choose this time to sell Zhuangzi to someone else?"
After Su Cheng finished speaking, the old lady was stunned.
She looked at Lin Gui.
Lin Gui has always been responsible for looking after Zhuangzi, why didn't he remind himself that the day to collect the rent was coming soon?
But then again, does it make any difference?
At the beginning, the tenant's lease was indeed sold together, but the money included 300,000 taels, so he still made 50,000 taels!
Why, when it came time for her to buy back Zhuangzi, she found these things inexplicably.
Why does she want to include extra ground rent?
"That's all." The old lady sat back on the chair with the support of Mother Wen, "Boss Su, how much do you want?"
Seeing that the old lady agreed to count the money, Su Cheng also calmed down the tense atmosphere just now.
"If the old lady can come up with five hundred thousand taels, I will immediately give you the land deed, etc."
"Five hundred thousand taels?" The old lady took a breath of cold air, "You are just talking like a lion."
In previous years, the rent collected was only a few thousand taels.
This guy actually asked for one hundred thousand taels.
One hundred thousand taels is enough for Zhuangzi to collect rent for more than ten years.
The most important thing is, where did she get 100,000 taels from?
I borrowed it from Su Nianyun, and I borrowed it from Qin Wan. If I borrow it again, I will probably go out and be embarrassed. This is something the old lady will never do.
"It's better than this," the old lady said, "you sell the village to me first, and then you can stay in the village until the tenants pay the rent and then leave..."
"Old lady, you just said you don't know how to do business, are you treating me like a three-year-old child again?"
Su Chengdao said, "I'm not stupid. If I sell Zhuangzi to you, you will definitely turn your back and refuse to admit it, and have someone throw me out, or ask someone from the government to throw me out..."
"I won't be fooled." Su Cheng said, "In short, if you don't have five hundred thousand taels, you don't have to think about buying back Zhuangzi!"
"Boss Su, why don't you think about it again..."
Su Cheng looked at the old lady and said, "Old lady, why don't you think about it carefully?"
"As long as I get five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand taels, I will pack my bags and leave immediately, and I will never say a word to you again!"
"Otherwise... let's not discuss anything..." After saying that, Su Cheng asked someone to see the guest off.
The old lady who was driven out of Zhuangzi in embarrassment felt unprecedented frustration.
On the carriage, she reluctantly watched Zhuangzi, who once belonged to her, getting further and further away from her.
"Old madam, I think this boss Su is playing tricks on us. I think even if we have 500,000 taels, he will still sell Zhuangzi?"
The old lady had no idea, she said distractedly, "Go back home first, and then think of a solution!"
Wen's mother shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Hearing the news from Su Da that the old lady had returned in frustration, Su Nianyun smiled on her face.
"Princess, the old lady must look very ugly now!"
Xia Yue smiled and said, "She probably didn't expect that she would be fooled like this one day."
Su Nianyun was in a good mood, stroking her belly.
"Princess," Chunhua said, "but if the old lady cannot buy Zhuangzi, won't she soon pay you back?"
If you pay back the money, you will get back the mortgaged shop. Then isn't the princess's work in vain?
"How can it be that all the hard work is in vain?"
Su Nianyun shook her head, "Do you believe it or not, even if the money is not used to buy Zhuangzi, the old lady will not return it?"
"If you don't buy Zhuangzi and don't return it to the princess, what's the point?"
"It's to find something else to do for her!" Su Nianyun smiled mysteriously.
"Princess, do you have any other plans?" Xia Yue asked eagerly.
Su Nianyun nodded, "I have a very good plan to deal with the old lady!"
People's desires are endless, especially those of the old lady.
The old lady has never had much self-control when it comes to money.
She only needs a little guidance, and the old lady can fall into a money trap.
Su Nianyun has already thought about the business that the old lady will start in the future. The rouge and gouache shop is most suitable for people who want to make money and also love beauty.
"By the way, Princess, Wen Po has already been found. I wonder if you would like to meet her in advance?"
At this time Chunhua talked about another thing.
This is the key point. The princess is about to give birth, and they must be prepared in advance.
Su Nianyun stroked her belly, "I've thought about Po Wen's matter, but it's better not to call Chen Mansion..."
