The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains
Chapter 71: Conspiracy to seize family property
To be honest, Xu Yingtao has not yet completely recovered from the shock.
This incident happened so suddenly that she was not mentally prepared.
Anyone who gets a shop for no reason will be at a loss.
and many more.
Xu Yingtao looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, you just told me to ask the owner of Zui Xiang Lou. Could it be that he took over this shop and then gave it to me as a gift?"
The old man nodded: "He bought it, but the deed is in your name."
Xu Yingtao threw down a sentence "Xiao Bai and Ali, please close your stall", turned around and walked quickly towards Zui Xiang Lou.
Now she arranged for Jiang to grind the powder at home and take care of the house. Now there are only three of them running the stall.
Xu Yingtao thought a lot on the way to Zui Xiang Lou.
The town is not big, and over the past few days, she has heard about the separation between Manager Ding and the Jin family.
But if Manager Ding bought the shop and gave it to her just to apologize and ease the relationship, then it would be unnecessary.
She is a businessman now, and businessmen pursue profits. If the other party comes to her for cooperation, she will certainly not refuse. Who can resist money?
But these days she was really looking forward to it, but no one from Zui Xiang Lou came to discuss cooperation with her.
Just when Xu Yingtao thought that the matter was going to fail, unexpectedly the other party gave her a shop instead.
Even though this is just a shop in town, it should cost at least one hundred taels.
No reward without merit, she had to find out what Manager Ding was planning.
Shopkeeper Ding seemed to have anticipated that Xu Yingtao would come to see him, and he was waiting at the counter early. As soon as he saw Xu Yingtao appear, he immediately went forward to greet her in person.
"Madam Xu, let's go to the private room and talk."
After a moment, Xu Yingtao was shocked: "They want to kill you and seize the family property?"
The amount of information was so huge that even though Xu Yingtao had been prepared, she was still shocked.
Shopkeeper Ding looked pale and a little sick, with a barely perceptible fatigue in his eyes. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, but facing my lifesaver, I think there is really no need to conceal this matter."
After taking a breath, Manager Ding continued, "If it weren't for Madam Xu exposing Jin Erxi, I wouldn't have known that the two siblings were harboring evil intentions."
The story goes back to three days ago.
After Manager Ding had Jin and Jin Erxi sent back to Yue's house, his old illness suddenly flared up and he had another violent coughing fit, almost coughing his lungs out.
The servant wanted to call the doctor who lived in the mansion to come over, but Shopkeeper Ding was still angry about the incident between the Jin siblings, and naturally he had a grudge against the doctor recommended by Jin, so he immediately ordered someone to go to the town to invite Doctor Wen to come.
You wouldn't know until you see it. Doctor Wen immediately diagnosed that Manager Ding's condition was not caused by a serious illness, but by poisoning.
It's not a strong poison, but a mild poison that will wear down the body if taken for many years.
Now, after years of erosion by poison, Manager Ding's body has reached a critical point. If it is delayed for a few more days, he will probably be bedridden for a long time and will never get out of bed again.
He has few children, only a daughter born to his first wife, who is now married. If he falls now, the Ding family's century-old business will naturally fall into the hands of the Jin siblings.
After a little thought, Shopkeeper Ding figured out the key.
In addition, when the doctor in the mansion saw that his master had invited Doctor Wen from the town, he knew that the secret would soon be exposed, so he simply revealed all the conspiracies that Jin had secretly planned in order to ask for leniency.
Shopkeeper Ding was first extremely angry, and then he felt a sense of fear.
If Jin Erxi didn't take action against Xu Yingtao, if Xu Yingtao couldn't rely on the Ge family for support, his life and even his family property would be in danger.
After much thought, Shopkeeper Ding decided to do something to thank Xu Yingtao.
"Madam Xu, you have truly saved my life and are my benefactor. This small shop is really not a token of my respect. I hope you can accept it."
Xu Yingtao shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Ding was able to turn misfortune into fortune. It was a blessing from heaven. This credit really shouldn't fall on me. But now that the shop has been bought and registered in my name, I will accept it."
Seeing that Shopkeeper Ding was surprised, Xu Yingtao changed the subject and said sincerely, "It's just that I don't have enough money right now. I will give the money for buying the shop to Shopkeeper Ding when I get the money back at the end of the month."
Shopkeeper Ding refused to agree.
After a long tug-of-war, the two sides had to compromise and Xu Yingtao finally agreed to return only half of the money.
In addition, Shopkeeper Ding certainly would not miss the opportunity to cooperate with Xu Yingtao. The two parties immediately signed a contract and officially started their cooperation.
Before Xu Yingtao could even warm up the fifty taels of silver that Manager Ding gave her as a deposit, she returned it as payment for the purchase of a house.
After leaving Zui Xiang Lou, Xu Yingtao couldn't help laughing out loud.
Life is really full of unknown surprises. The shop that I thought I would only be able to own next year has now become mine inexplicably.
It's really exciting.
When she returned to the bun shop, Xu Yingtao's mood was completely different.
Looking at this shop again, although it is old, it is well maintained, and I suddenly feel a sense of closeness to it.
This is the first real estate she owns in this world.
It is an existence that belongs entirely to her.
Seeing her smiling face, the old couple knew that she had reached an agreement with Manager Ding, so they took the initiative to offer to take her on a tour.
In addition to the street-facing storefront, there is a medium-sized backyard behind the bun shop. There is a well, four neat rooms, a kitchen and a toilet.
Just as the old couple said, they have always treated the shop well, and every room is kept extremely clean and tidy. Except for the yellowing of the walls due to age, it couldn't be better.
Xie Li and Xie Bai, brother and sister, looked around, their eyes flashing with the same curiosity and excitement.
Zhao also exclaimed: "This shop is really good."
She has lived half her life and has never lived in a blue brick and tile house. She is really envious.
Hearing this, Xu Yingtao smiled gently and suggested, "Since this shop is so to your liking, how about asking Aunt and Uncle to take care of it and help run it in the future?"
Zhao and Zheng Wu were both stunned.
Xu Yingtao continued, "Now that we have a shop, we don't have to carry things around anymore. You can just put the bowls and chopsticks in the shop. Auntie Liangfen, you know how to make it. In the future, we just need to ask the villagers to deliver soy products. This way, I can free up my hands to do other things. You two just focus on looking after the shop. In addition to the profits we agreed on before, I will give you dividends at the end of the year. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to. You don't have to force me."
After all, this happened too suddenly. Besides, the two of them were living well in the village. It was normal for them to refuse if they were suddenly asked to move to the town.
Upon hearing this, Zhao became anxious.
