Dressed as a middle-aged mistress, I want to lie down every day

Chapter 67 People came to borrow money one after another

When the Mo family started construction, Mo Yuanji would stroll around the site every day, looking worried all the time. He would bargain with the foreman and keep an eye on the price of everything he bought.

He sighed from time to time, put on a smile to the foreman, and said that the money was borrowed and asked for some understanding.

Everyone on the street knew that the Mo family had to borrow a large sum of money to buy these three shops, and they had to break a copper coin into two halves to spend it.

Out of admiration for him, he borrowed money to buy the shop, but paid twice as much as the previous owner.

A few days later, someone really knelt in front of Mo Yuanji, saying that his old mother was seriously ill and begged the kind-hearted Mo to lend him some money for medical treatment.

Mo Yuanji gave it to him, borrowing it from Zhaoji Braised Meat Shop first, and said he would return it within three days.

The next day someone came again and said that his son was sick.

Mo Yuanji borrowed it from the sesame sauce pancake shop.

On the third day, a man came carrying a dying patient and wanted to borrow a large sum of money. Mo Yuanji went to a larger store with a sad face to borrow money.

There were also people who went to his door and knelt down to beg for money.

There are many people watching the fun, some people gloating, but most of them are sympathetic.

It is impossible for Mo Yuanji to come and just give silver. He has to ask clearly who the person who borrows the silver is and where he lives, and say that he will send some dried vegetables later.

Then he found a real estate agent to sell the shop. After it was built, he offered it at 80% off the market price, and put it up for sale in advance because he really didn't have the money to run the business.

Now the shops on East Street are not happy about this. Only Mr. Mo can control this house. If he sells the house, it will be a matter for the whole street.

Some people also said that since the shop couldn't be sold or rented out, Mr. Mo should just go into business on his own. Mr. Zhao, the owner of the braised meat shop, said, "Even if we make some money doing business this way, it's still not enough to cover the constant stream of people coming to borrow money. One person tells two, two tells three, and three tells three. Before, there was one a day, but now there are two or three people coming to borrow money. They won't leave until they see Mr. Mo, and then they'll go door to door begging for food. Who do you think will be implicated? How can we continue to do business in the future?"

Although everyone was just watching the fun at the beginning, and some were envious, jealous, and resentful, no one wanted to be implicated in their own family.

Another thing is that everyone hopes that Mo Yuanji will do well in business and bring prosperity to this street.

If this continues, the kind-hearted man will become an unlucky guy.

If he is unlucky, everyone will be unlucky too. If Mrs. Chang sees her benefactor end up like this and gets angry and runs out to hang around on this street again, no one will be able to do business there.

Someone took the lead and united all the shops to discuss and pay fees according to the size of the shop to show respect to the yamen runners. As long as someone came to Mr. Mo to borrow money, the yamen runners would come and arrest that person.

Part of it is given to the people who collect protection fees from them, so that they can keep an eye on it.

There was an idle man who had received favors from Mrs. Chang. Not only was he not given money, but he was also prepared to attack those who came to Mr. Mo to borrow money.

He had already checked the families that had borrowed money. Some of the patients died because they were not cured, and those who did not die were still seriously ill after taking the medicine and would not get better immediately.

This idle man started spreading rumors, saying that those people did not sell their houses or land, did not ask relatives for money, but came to ask Mr. Mo for loans, and were simply taking advantage of Mr. Mo's kindness.

Then we have to see if Mrs. Chang agrees.

Some people also wanted to take this opportunity to find an excuse to borrow money, but they gave up the idea.

The neighbors in the alley where Mo Yuanji lived originally thought that it was none of their business, but then they thought that the gang couldn't borrow money on East Street, so they came here.

Someone has already come to the door. If Mrs. Chang is invited over too, she will be scared to death if she comes to visit for no reason.

It just so happened that there was a family with a child who cried day and night. That family quickly sent gifts to the Mo family, burned paper in the middle of the night, and sent servants to watch outside during the day. If anyone came to the Mo family, they would be beaten away with sticks.

The other families followed suit, no one explaining anything, and they all tacitly took turns staring at the Mo family's gate every day.

As the old saying goes, even evil people are afraid of ghosts. What's more, those who want to borrow money are not evil people, but those who just want to take advantage, so they dare not come.

This made Qiu Guanghao and Geng Yongchang very angry. Just as they were about to arrange someone to borrow money from Mo Yuanji, such a rumor came out.

Both of them gritted their teeth and decided to wait until the Mo family's business got going.

Mo Xinzhi is having the happiest time of his life recently, and his new acquaintance, Brother Wang, always praises him.

He took Brother Wang to see the newly bought land, saying that he planned to raise pigs, chickens and sheep there, and also asked Brother Wang for advice on how to build a farm.

Wang Jingye saw that Mo Xinzhi nodded to everything he said, and said that he would go home and discuss it with his father, and tell him the next day that it was a good idea, so let's do it.

Wang Jingye understood why Mo Yuanji let his eldest son be in charge of the village, because his eldest son was unable to handle emergencies on the street.

He knew what happened on East Street and thought that although Mo Yuanji was honest, he was still somewhat smart, just like when he delivered dried vegetables to people, he had his own style of doing things.

Mo Yuanji borrowed money from all the shops, saying that he had no money, and then spread the word that he wanted to sell the shops. This shop was not an ordinary shop, but a haunted house. Mo Yuanji asked everyone to take the initiative to help him solve the problem, which was a bit clever.

However, Wang Jingye thought that Mo Yuanji was still a bit honest. If it were him, those shops would have begged to buy their shops, but now you are all laughing at them. So he would have people pretend to be ghosts and wander around the streets every night.

Wang Jingye was worried about the Mo family. The whole family was very honest, so how could they do business?

He then had the idea of ​​guiding Mo Xinzhi, after all he knew that human nature was treacherous.

Mo Xinzhi asked him to help figure out how to build a shop on East Street.

Wang Jingye went there and listened to Mo Yuanji talking to the foreman. He now knew that the Mo family was going to open a restaurant. This was not important. What was important was that this family really didn't know how to build a house.

He has a hobby and is interested in house building. Because his house is the ancestral home, his father does not allow him to touch it, otherwise he would have demolished it and rebuilt it long ago.

He bought a farm and built a house according to his own wishes. He planned to rebuild the new farm his cousin bought while he was in the capital, but he had not told his cousin yet.

He looked down upon the He family's farm. It belonged to someone else, so he couldn't touch it.

However, since the Mo family demolished the three shops and rebuilt them, why not build them beautifully and elegantly?

Mo Yuanji told the foreman that he should save money and just make sure it was sturdy.

Wang Jingye frowned and couldn't listen any further.

The private rooms on the second floor are simple, without any fancy features. At least the windows should have carvings, the counter on the first floor should be exquisite, the lobby should be bright as soon as the guests enter, and the windows should be made of clear tiles and colored glaze.

Wang Jingye stood in front of the three shops, then walked to the opposite side to look up and down, then walked left and right to look sideways.

If it were him, he would do this and that.

Mo Xinzhi followed him, "Brother Wang, if you have any suggestions, just tell me."

Wang Jingzhi hooked his finger at him and said, "I'll tell you when we're alone."

The two of them went to a deserted place. Wang Jingye talked a lot, and then looked at Mo Xinzhi with shining eyes. "What do you think? What do you think of my suggestion?"

Mo Xinzhi said, "That's good, but my family has no money."

Wang Jingye said, "I do."

He was very excited because he finally met someone whose surname was not Wang and who would let him design the house. His younger brother, cousin and other cousins ​​who were surnamed Wang would not let him do it.

If the Mo family lets him do it, he will pay the money.

Money is something that should be spent comfortably and satisfactorily when earned.

As long as the Mo family lets him build it according to his wishes, he will pay the money.
