After Chu Mingyang was driven away, she was very flustered. Sun Quanwu was obviously going to deny it. How could she compensate for the millions of taels of silver?
She couldn't afford compensation, and she didn't have millions of taels of silver.
She was so angry that she returned home. The servants and servants who were serving her had not started cooking yet. When they saw her coming back, they immediately went into the kitchen. In the past, if the servants were lazy, she would definitely get angry and scold them, but now it is really
Without any thought, I rushed back to my room and checked my money. Although I made a lot of money during this period, I couldn't even pay the interest for the first period.
Now that she has already owed two installments, some people are already impatient. If they really want to argue with her, there is nothing she can do, so if they want to delay, they must first pay interest on the two installments, which is at least 20,000 taels of silver.
When she heard Yu Wenjun's voice coming from outside, she hurriedly hid the banknote and walked out.
Yu Wenjun was in a good mood today, so he handed her a brocade box as soon as she entered the door, "I made a fortune today, and I'll give it to you."
Their relationship as husband and wife only improved after they earned money, but this was the first time they gave a gift. Chu Mingyang took it and opened it to see that it was a gold ring. Although the style was old, it was heavy in weight.
Chu Mingyang knew that he had made some money recently, but she didn't know how much he made, and she didn't know where he hid the money.
She made him tea and probed secretly, "I have seen that you have made a lot of money recently, tens of thousands of taels?"
Yu Wenjun sat down on the chair and said with a proud expression: "If you don't hit the target, you won't be far away!"
Chu Mingyang's heart moved. If she could get the interest she paid first, she could still delay it for another ten days. With this thought in mind, she leaned over and sat next to him, "Then have you deposited everything in the bank?"
"With such a small amount of money, there is no need to deposit it in a bank."
Yu Wenjun took a sip of tea and glanced sideways at her, "What's going on?
No money left?"
Chu Mingyang didn't tell him about the loan, for fear that he would insist on getting a piece of the pie, so in Yu Wenjun's eyes, Chu Mingyang didn't have much money.
Chu Mingyang gave a disgusted laugh, "No, I think spring will start soon, and I want to make some silk and satin clothes to go back to my parents' house."
Yu Wenjun was in a good mood today and responded to all requests, saying: "I will give you fifty taels later, and you can make whatever clothes you want."
Fifty taels was not even enough, but Chu Mingyang didn't want these dozens of taels. He just wanted to know where his money was hidden.
Therefore, after dinner, Chu Mingyang kept an eye on his movements. When he went in to get the money, she followed him secretly and found that he had hidden all the money in the cabinet under the bed, and he took the key with him.
Chu Mingyang planned in his heart that he must get the money back from Sun Quanwu with interest, so he borrowed Yu Wenjun's money first, and then secretly put it back after getting it back, so that he could not be noticed.
Therefore, she first stole the key that night, and the next day after Yu Wenjun went out, she secretly took out the cabinet from under the bed and took away the banknotes. There were probably several hundred taels of silver, but she did not take it away because Yu Wenjun could not be ruled out.
I need some money during these days.
After taking the banknote, she went out to deliver interest to various houses and explained that fortunately, the interest payments were always on time these days, and this time there were special circumstances. She returned to Jiangnan, so there was nothing she could do.
of.
It's enough to make up for it now, so most people still trust it, but the second wife of the Gu family is a little worried, saying that she wants to get her money back and stop making interest.
Chu Mingyang was really angry. No one else asked, but the one he was closest to asked, and then his face sank, "My cousin can't trust me."
The second lady said to Chu Mingyang: "It's not that my cousin doesn't believe you, but after all, I put down 300,000 taels. If there is any mistake, I will lose all my money, and it will all be your cousin's dowry."
Chu Mingyang was secretly worried. If she wanted to take back the three hundred thousand taels now, where would she have the money to give her?
However, she didn't show it on her face, she just said calmly: "If my cousin really wants to take it back, of course she can, but I heard shopkeeper Sun say that because the business is doing well now, she plans to start increasing profits next month.
If my cousin wants to take the money back, I'm afraid she will have to watch other ladies make money."
When the second lady heard this, she hurriedly asked: "Raise interest rates?"
How much will it go up?”
Seeing her greedy look, Chu Mingyang felt a little relieved. As long as she was still greedy, she didn't have to rush to get the money back. She said: "Shopkeeper Sun said that thanks to everyone's support, I want to repay the money I earned to you ladies, so
Starting from next month, it will be increased by 20%."
"So much plus 20%?"
The second lady's eyes widened immediately. She made a calculation in her heart. Now she has released 300,000 taels. She can get 2,000 taels in each installment, which means she can get 6,000 taels a month. If she adds another 20%, wouldn't it be a month?
How about more than seven thousand taels?
This is really not a small sum.
The second lady looked at Gu Kangman beside her. If her daughter successfully arranged a marriage with the Leng family, the Leng family was a noble family, so the dowry must not be shabby. If it was shabby, it would be looked down upon. Taking advantage of the fact that the marriage has not yet been decided, it would be better to earn more.
Some, even a few more months, would be tens of thousands more taels of silver.
Thinking of this, she still couldn't resist her greed, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's let it go for now. Anyway, your cousin's marriage has not been settled yet, and I won't be too late to get back after it is settled."
Chu Mingyang's face turned gloomy and he said: "Cousin, don't worry, shopkeeper Sun is very familiar with me, and I have been keeping an eye on his business. Now his business has indeed grown, so he needs to borrow money.
, and he is still cooperating with the Dingfeng Hao. You know the Dingfeng Hao, which is the richest man in Dazhou. Princess Jinning of Dazhou is also the second owner of the Dingfeng Hao. If we really cooperate with the Dingfeng Hao, we can do it again.
I'm looking for it higher up."
After hearing this, the second lady was completely relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, since I have given you the money, you can make arrangements."
After a pause, she looked at Chu Mingyang again, smiled slightly and said: "Besides, I don't know Shopkeeper Sun or Ding Feng. I only know that the money was given to you. I will just ask you when the time comes."
After hearing this, Chu Mingyang cursed in his heart, he was just a man.
The money that Chu Mingyang took was not taken lightly. When she took the money, she wrote an IOU, saying that it was all borrowed by Chu Mingyang. If Chu Mingyang wanted to take kickbacks, of course she had to take risks. She originally trusted Sun Quanwu.
It's totally fine, and I never thought it would harm myself.
Now that something really happened, and she was reminded by the second lady, her heart was like ants biting her, and she was anxious to get angry.
If you really can't get Sun Quanwu to admit his guilt, what should you do?
She changed the topic, looked at Gu Kangman and said, "By the way, how is the marriage with the Leng family going now?"
Gu Kangman's face turned red, "Who knows?"
The second lady then said with a smile: "I have tested the Leng family's intentions and thought about walking around tomorrow. If everyone is interested, then the Leng family will probably ask people to come to propose marriage. Once the marriage is proposed, the money cannot be released again.
We have to get it back, no matter how high the interest is, we can’t make any money.”
When Chu Mingyang heard this, wouldn't it be quick to get married?
I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. It seemed that this marriage really couldn't happen so quickly.
