Chapter 1938

Xia Rui opens the box. Inside is a pile of silver spindles.

At first, Zhou Yin and Xia Xia Xia's father and son agreed that the fields, shops and houses he left in Shangzhou should be taken care of by them, and all the rents should be collected by them. He came back once a year or every other year to collect them, and he also had to sweep the house.

Therefore, Zhou Yin specially reduced the rent by 40% as a reward for them.

A year's rent is 18 Liang. Xia Xia Xia puts 18 liang of silver in it every year, just thinking that when someone gets it back, he won't break his promise without money.

In the past 14 years, their family has not been smooth sailing, but no matter what happens and how difficult it is, they have not moved the money in this box.

In Xia Xia Xia's words, the most important thing for a person to live a lifetime is to keep his word.

Now there are 2522 Liang in the box. Xia Xia said with a smile, "I have another sum of money to make up for. I haven't been able to guard the land for your parents these years. How can I take the 40% lost? I asked your aunt to pick it up from the shop. You'll wait a little and she'll be back. "

Man Bao nodded with a smile and didn't refuse, "that's a lot. Aunt Rui won't come back so soon if it's so heavy."

Xia Xia nodded, "then sit more and eat here. It's best to go after dinner. I'll see your cousin. Your cousin is studying. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the talent of your grandfather and father. He hasn't read anything for many years..."

Xia Xia talked endlessly for a while and then went to sleep unconsciously.

Xia Rui looked scared. He reached out and touched his nose. He felt relieved when he breathed.

He glanced at man Bao. Man Bao nodded slightly. Xia Rui took the box of money out to her. He said, "your aunt probably won't come back for a long time. Sit and wait first."

Man Bao said, "Uncle Rui, you don't have to give me 40% of the money."

She said, "this is not your breach of faith. It's my father and mother who didn't come back on time. You took the risk that you shouldn't have taken. If you break your faith, it's also my parents' breach of faith. Although they were forced. "

Xia Rui looks at Zhou man in surprise. Unexpectedly, she will say these words.

Man Bao looked back at the main room, took out a deed from his sleeve bag and gave it to Xia Rui. He said, "thanks to your care for so many years, uncle Rui doesn't have to hurry to move the shop. I gave it to you."

"How can this work?" If he had some expectations about the 40% rent, this was completely beyond his expectations. Xia Rui pushed back and said, "this can't be done. This shop is yours. I can't want it. If you're embarrassed, how about continuing to rent this shop to me?"

Man Bao put it in his hand and said, "Uncle Rui, I can even give my ancestral land to a family that hasn't taken care of me. Why can't I give you the shop?"

Xia Rui opened his mouth and said with some shame, "this, how is this the same?"

"It's different," man Bao said with a smile. "In the future, I may not have much contact with the family here, but the tombs of my grandparents and grandparents are still here, and even my children will come back here in the future. Uncle Rui is the only one we can rely on and get close to."

Xia Rui was obedient and ashamed. He wanted to talk and stopped several times.

Man Bao didn't seem to see it. He firmly stuffed the deed into his hand, and then said, "there's no need to let uncle know about it. By the way, I'll take this box of rent. Thank uncle Rui for taking care of my grandparents over the years."

After that, he solemnly saluted Xia Rui.

Xia Rui quickly held her and said, "don't do this, don't do this..."

Man Bao went out with a box of silver and waited for Bai Shan outside to catch it. He almost fell to the ground.

He held his breath and asked, "what's so heavy?"

Man Bao shook his hand quietly, "money!"

Bai Shan:

Xia Rui, who followed him holding the house deed, suddenly recovered from a trance and came forward to help them carry it. Daji had already carried it one step and put it on the car. Bai Erlang sitting beside the car couldn't help but open the box and look at it.

Seeing the white silver ingots inside, I was shocked. When I looked at Zhou man, my eyes were complicated.

Unknowingly, she has more money than them. When he was a child, he and Bai Shan were the richest.

Man Bao got on the bus with Bai Shan's hand and said to Xia Rui standing next to the car, "Uncle Rui, go back. I'll see grandpa again before I go."

Xia Rui should step back and watch her leave.

When he returned to the inn, old Zhou touched the box of silver ingots and said, "you are the only uncle in the Xia family."

Man Bao nodded. "In fact, with so much money, they can almost buy a shop."

On Friday Lang said, "there are more than one shop in your house."

He said: "the upper and lower floors and a backyard are no smaller than our restaurants in the capital. The location is good. Even if Shangzhou is not as good as the capital, the price is not much worse."

After all, the location of their shop in the capital is actually average. It is far inferior to the shop in the center of Shangzhou. I don't know how my uncle bought it in those years.

Man Bao didn't know, but she didn't feel bad about it. "I entrusted uncle Rui to take care of the ancestors' graves here."

Old Zhou tou nodded. Man Bao had said a few days earlier that he would send out the shop, so he had passed the heartache period.

Man Bao looked around and asked, "hasn't the person who went to collect the rent come back yet?"

Daji said, "No."

Man Bao touched his chin and said, "it seems that clan leader Xia is not ready in advance. He must be very distressed."

It's heartache again. Clan leader Xia still handed over the lease to the two guards who pulled the car. It's already done. There's really no need to provoke right and wrong again because of this. He just doesn't understand why Zhou man is so anxious.

When she came yesterday, everyone was very friendly. He thought she would mention the rent after this autumn harvest.

His son hesitated and said, "she was a little unhappy when she went to see the graves of her uncles yesterday. She didn't talk much when she came back. Is that why?"

Xia clan leader suddenly realized that after half a ring, he sighed and said, "I see. You have time to go to Xu Lichang and tell him that Zhou man has ordered this year's rent."

"Will Xu Lichang be blamed?"

Chief Xia snorted, "what can he blame? It's his intention to step back. Isn't his rent enough after all these years? And this time he hung up his number in front of the county magistrate. Now I'm afraid he won't make trouble. Who can say what will happen in the future? You just go and say that our family's rent and those of previous years have been handed in. Naturally, he understands. "

His son should go now.

Xia clan chief sighed: "I don't know what Zhou man is like in the capital. I only heard that she is a miracle doctor. Unfortunately, she won't change her surname..."

His son hung his eyes. Xia and Zhou man didn't have much friendship, and the Zhou family was not bad to her. How could she change her surname?
