Old Man Song couldn't wait to step forward and slap Song Chen twice.
"I'll sign. Give me the money immediately after signing."
Lao Liu is waiting for money.
The agreement was written by Song Chen himself, and she read it while writing it, but Old Man Song was still worried and asked Song Chen to find Lin Maofeng.
Lin Maofeng is an upright person, so you can feel more at ease with him.
Song Chen was very happy and sent someone to call Lin Maofeng. Lin Maofeng trotted over half a quarter of an hour later.
"Girl Chen, what agreement are you signing?"
"Uncle Li Zheng, I'm sorry to bother you. Old Man Song said that he would help me go down the mountain in Shiping Village and asked me to give him a commission of one hundred taels. It just so happened that I was worried about this matter at the moment.
I promised him that I will give him fifty taels today, and then I will give him another fifty taels when things are done. This is the agreement I wrote."
Song Chen handed the agreement he had just written to Lin Maofeng, "Please read it over and then help to bear witness."
Lin Maofeng was very disapproving of Song Chen's decision before he read the agreement, but as an upright person, he couldn't be too partial to Song Chen in front of Old Man Song.
Old man Song was too open-minded. If he could really help, ten taels of silver would be enough to keep him and the Song Zhou family from farming for two years. He really dared to ask for a hundred taels of silver.
two.
The same goes for Girl Chen. If she really wants the mountain, she can just ask him to come forward, and it will cost an extra hundred taels of silver.
I saw him looking at the agreement with a heavy face.
"Song Wancai volunteered to help Song Chen go to Shiping Village to buy a mountain. On October 6, the 79th year of Dayong, he received fifty taels of silver from Song Chen. When the mountain purchase was completed, he received another fifty taels. This one hundred
The two silver coins were used by Song Chen to buy Shanzhi and Song Wancai. Both parties abide by the agreement. If there is any violation, double compensation will be paid."
After reading this, Lin Maofeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Song, please see if there are any problems with the agreement. If there are no problems, the agreement will take effect after both of you press your fingerprints."
Old Man Song was eager to get fifty taels of silver, and he only cared about Song Chen's agreement that he would be given fifty taels first, and then another fifty taels after the matter was completed.
"No problem, I'll press it."
After Old Man Song pressed his fingerprints, Song Chen also pressed his own fingerprints.
"Send the silver from Conghai." After pressing his fingerprints, Song Chen ordered Conghai to send the silver to Old Man Song.
"Yes, girl." Cong Hai nodded and handed a bag of silver to Old Man Song, "There is fifty taels in it, please click on it."
Even if he didn't say anything, Old Man Song would still order some. He opened the money bag and raked it with his hands. He was overjoyed to see the five shining silver ingots.
After reading it, he tied the money bag tightly, put it away close to his body, and left.
Song Chen looked at his leaving figure and sneered, "One hundred taels, if he can eat it, he will spit it out!"
After Old Man Song walked away, Lin Maofeng said, "Girl Chen, what if Old Man Song makes trouble like this?"
Song Chen concealed the coldness in his eyes and looked at Lin Maofeng with a smile, "Isn't there still you here?"
Lin Maofeng, "Me?"
"Yes, I'm not afraid as long as you are here."
Seeing Lin Maofeng getting nervous again, Song Chen continued, "He doesn't dare to make trouble. He confirmed the agreement himself and got the money. If he dares to make trouble, I will report it to the official. The whole village dares not to report it to the official."
That person is Old Man Song, and he still expects Song Qingyun to earn face for him."
"That's true. It's just that you are so blatant in plotting against him. I'm afraid he will hate you even more in the future."
Lin Maofeng knew people like Old Man Song very well.
"Let him hold grudges. This is the only reason why he holds grudges against me." The grudge has been forged long ago, and Old Man Song is probably just waiting for Song Qingyun to become successful and deal with her.
Lin Maofeng thought about it and said, "You just have to know it yourself."
"Hmm, by the way, Uncle Lizheng, the workshop is recruiting a second batch of workers. Do you want your sister-in-law or aunt to come?"
When recruiting the first batch of workers, Lin Maofeng gave up the first batch of places for the sake of the villagers.
Lin Maofeng had always been helpful to her, and Song Chen felt very sorry about this matter.
This country family is an upright person. Although it is better than other families, how can it be any better?
"This..." Lin Maofeng was still hesitant.
"If there is no such thing, you can go back and ask if your sister-in-law or aunt would like to come. I can't make the decision in my workshop anymore?"
**
After receiving fifty taels of silver, Old Man Song hurried to the town to give Song Qingyun the silver.
Outside the book school, Old Man Song asked someone to bring a letter in. Song Qingyun ran out soon after and saw Old Man Song with his back bent and a pipe in his mouth.
Disgust flashed in Song Qingyun's eyes.
He hurriedly ran to Old Man Song and said, "Dad, you are here. Have you eaten this? I will take you to eat something."
Song Qingyun said as he pulled Old Man Song away from the school.
Most of the classmates in the school knew that he came from the countryside, but they all thought that he was a child of a wealthy family in the countryside. If his classmates saw that his father was such a pudding-covered farmer, he would lose all face.
Already.
Old Man Song didn't know what he was thinking, so he followed him happily and walked aside.
Song Qingyun and Old Man Song chose the most remote restaurant and ordered two bowls of noodles, one of which had meat added.
When the noodles were served, Song Qingyun smiled and put the bowl with meat in front of Old Man Song, "Dad, you eat."
Old Man Song looked at Song Qingyun's noodles with only two leaves, and then at the meat in his bowl. He was very happy, "You eat this bowl with meat. You have worked hard in school, so you need to eat something good."
If his son has this heart, he will be satisfied.
Everyone thinks about him as their father. When he gets rich in the future, he will definitely not forget about his father like that white-eyed wolf.
"Dad, you eat. You work hard at home. I'm at school, so I don't work as hard as you."
After saying this, Song Qingyun picked up his chopsticks and started eating. After taking the first bite, Song Qingyun's brows furrowed tightly. There was no oil or water in these noodles. They were not meant for human consumption.
Old man Song probably hadn't seen meat for a long time, so he ate all the soup and noodles.
"Dad, aren't you full? I still have some here, you can eat." Song Qingyun said and put some noodles in his bowl into Old Man Song's bowl. It was really hard to swallow and he couldn't eat it.
Old Man Song, however, was a little moved in his heart. He lowered his head and ate it all carefully.
"Lao Liu, find a quiet place where no one is around. I have something important to tell you." After settling the bill, Old Man Song asked Song Qingyun to take him to a place where no one was around.
Song Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, maybe something happened at home again. When they separated, he sent a letter asking him to go back, but he excused himself from being busy with schoolwork.
He was happy to see the separation, but he didn't want to go back and face the possibility that those watching the fun might say something unpleasant.
Today his father suddenly came to town, and he felt something was wrong.
"Dad, is there something going on at home?"
Old Man Song shook his head, "It's okay. Find a place and we'll go there to talk."
If he didn't say anything, Song Qingyun had no choice but to find a place where there was no one around.
When he arrived at the place, Old Man Song first looked around to make sure there was no one around and there was no place to hide anyone. Then he took out the money he had with a smile.
"Lao Liu, dad has brought you some money. Here is fifty taels. You can take it and spend it until the time of the provincial examination. From now on, you can concentrate on studying in the town. You don't have to go back all the time. Wait until next year to pass the examination.
Now, let’s go back and make dad proud.”
Song Qingyun felt the heavy weight in his hand and was shocked.
Fifty taels of silver, he had never received so much silver at once.
He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart at the moment, but he still felt a little strange. He knew what was going on at home, "Dad, where did you get this money? Maybe you sold the land. Our land must not be touched.
Otherwise, I will be affected during the investigation."
If he wants to be an official, the court will investigate him. If the court knows that he sold land at home so that he can study, it will definitely have a bad impression on him and feel that he has failed in his filial piety.
Old Man Song patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, dad still understands this and won't sell it. This money was given to me by Song Chen, it's clean."
"Song Chen? Why would she give you money if she is so good?" Song Qingyun suddenly became confused. He had already learned what kind of person Song Chen was, and it would be extremely difficult to get money from her.
Now not only did he give it, but he also paid fifty taels for it. Song Qingyun immediately felt that something was wrong.
But look at his father, he is still smiling.
His father was a shrewd man all his life, so it seemed that he was not at a disadvantage.
"These fifty taels are only half. I still have fifty taels with Song Chen. You don't have to worry about money in the future. One hundred taels can help you pass the Jinshi examination."
"There are fifty taels left! Dad, you'd better tell me, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
"What's wrong? Your father and I earned this money from Song Chen. She wanted to buy the mountain in Shiping Village. Li Zhengqiao from Shiping Village was holding Qiao, so I went to Song Chen and said that I would help her buy the mountain.
After buying it, she will give me one hundred taels. We have signed an agreement, so I am not afraid that she will not give it."
Hearing that Song Chen wanted to buy a mountain, Song Qingyun's eyes rolled a few times. It cost a lot of money to buy a mountain. I didn't expect that dead girl to be so rich now.
"As long as we sign the agreement, otherwise that damn girl will default on her debt."
Song Qingyun didn't ask what the agreement was, he knew that his father knew it well.
With these fifty taels, he can live happily for a while again. God knows how panicked he feels when he only has a few hundred copper coins on him recently.
"Then Dad, how are you going to tell Li Zheng in Shiping Village?" Song Qingyun was more concerned about the fifty taels that followed.
Now that his brothers have all divided up, every penny in the old Song family can only belong to him.
"This is not simple. Doesn't Li Zhengnaqiao from Shiping Village just want some money? Anyway, I only said that I would help take down the mountain, and I didn't say at what price."
Old Man Song had already thought about it. He wanted to make Song Chen suffer. Although he was reluctant to let Li Zheng of Shiping Village get the money, it was still better than having it in Song Chen's hands!
