The pinnacle life starting from the son-in-law

Chapter 108 Redeeming the Jade Buddha Statue

"what?"

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Xia Mengmeng's phoenix eyes suddenly widened, she looked at Ye Qingqing in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice.

"What did you say? Two million taels of silver? Is it true?"

Ye Qingyi sighed, "Why should I lie to you? They said it themselves."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingqing's tone paused for a moment, but then, without waiting for Xia Mengmeng to answer his own words, he continued talking on his own.

"And I also heard that the ancestors should be asked to pay back the money within three days. If not, Jiang Wenxiang's father will come forward and we will meet in the yamen!"

"what?"

Xia Mengmeng reached out and grabbed Yiye Qingqing, her face full of horror, "Is it really 200 million taels of silver?"

Ye Qingqing felt that Xia Mengmeng's hands were shaking, subconsciously reached out and patted her hand, and nodded.

"It's true, I think, this morning, Jizu will tell your second mother about this matter, and then you will naturally know whether what I said is true or not."

Xia Mengmeng slowly withdrew her hand, her face was already full of sadness, she muttered to herself, "What can I do, my ancestor lost so much money, what can I do...?"

Ye Qingqing stretched out his hand to grab Xia Mengmeng's hand, and comforted him, "Mengmeng, don't worry, let your second mother settle this matter, she won't let you care anyway, so just pretend you don't know! "

Speaking of this, Ye Qingqing suddenly saw that a tear flashed in Xia Mengmeng's eyes, and hurriedly said.

"Mengmeng, when you wanted to take care of it, your second mother sneered at you, obviously she didn't want you to take care of it!

Mengmeng, you are only the elder sister of the ancestor, and your second mother is the mother of the ancestor! "

Xia Mengmeng wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said slightly choked up, "You don't understand, I only have this younger brother, and he has become like this now, my older sister, how can I just watch and ignore him like this. "

Ye Qingqing heard the words, and in order to adjust the atmosphere, he said with a smile, "Mengmeng, you only have one husband, why don't you treat me so attentively!"

After hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Xia Mengmeng blushed pretty, and pulled back her hand forcefully, saying coquettishly.

"You are a real person. After such a big thing happened, you still say such things, do you want to piss him off on purpose!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing took Xia Mengmeng's hand again, took the handkerchief in her hand, and gently wiped her tears.

"I didn't mean to piss you off. Since they don't want you to take care of me, it's not good for everyone if you try to get ahead."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingqing paused for a moment before continuing, "Mengmeng, listen to my advice, don't worry about this matter, they caused trouble by themselves, just deal with it yourself."

"But……."

Xia Mengmeng turned her head to look at Ye Qingqing, "After all, Jizu is my younger brother, I..."

Ye Qingqing didn't wait for Xia Mengmeng to finish speaking, and interrupted her with a smile, "Mengmeng, since you want to take care of it, let me ask you, do you have 200 million taels of silver?"

"I……."

Xia Mengmeng hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "No."

Ye Qingqing nodded, "Since there is no two million taels of silver, how can you help?"

"I……."

Hearing this, Xia Mengmeng frowned, turned to look at Ye Qingqing, shook his head, tears welled up in his eyes again, "But, I only have this younger brother, if I don't care..."

Ye Qingqing smiled wryly and shook his head, "I know you only have this younger brother, but since you don't have 200 million taels of silver, what do you do?"

Xia Mengmeng frowned and lowered her head to think for a moment, then slowly raised her head to look at Ye Qingqing, and said seriously.

"Now the Xia family will definitely not be able to get out so much money, not only not now, but also in a short time."

Having said that, Xia Mengmeng paused for a moment before continuing, "Now I have to borrow it!"

Ye Qingyi sighed, "Who would lend you so much money? What's more, my father-in-law has already borrowed a lot of money last time, and I'm going to borrow it now. Do you think you can borrow it?"

Xia Mengmeng shook her head sadly when she heard the words, and gritted her teeth after a while, "If you really can't borrow it, then you can only sell the house."

Ye Qingqing smiled wryly and shook his head, "Mengmeng, I've already said, don't worry about this matter, this is the trouble caused by your second mother letting your ancestors ignore it, let them solve it themselves. "

Ye Qingqing said this, shook Xia Mengmeng's hand vigorously, and said seriously.

"Mengmeng, listen to me. No matter if they are selling the house or the land, don't talk. If they do sell it, you will be the one who complains in the end."

"But……."

Seeing that Xia Mengmeng wanted to say more, Ye Qingqing said seriously, "Mengmeng, we are husband and wife, I will not harm you, listen to me, okay?"

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Xia Mengmeng felt a little moved, and when she turned her head to look at Ye Qingqing, a sense of guilt suddenly rose in her heart.

Ye Qingqing has been in Xia Mansion for so long, although he is his husband in name, but he...

Just when Xia Mengmeng was thinking wildly, the coachman's voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"Miss, here we are!"

Xia Mengmeng was awakened by the coachman's voice, hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage, looked outside, and sure enough, she had already arrived in front of her shop.

Xia Mengmeng turned her head to look at Ye Qingqing, for no reason, her pretty face blushed slightly, she felt a little shy in her heart, she hurriedly stood up, and jumped out of the carriage first.

Seeing this, Ye Qingli smiled, and followed Xia Mengmeng out of the carriage.

As soon as Xia Mengmeng came to the front of the shop, a clerk in the shop quickly walked up to him and said courteously, "Miss, you are here!"

Xia Mengmeng nodded slightly, and asked softly, "Is anyone coming to see me this morning?"

The man shook his head hastily, "No, only one guest came to see the jade wares, and no one else came."

Xia Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the man said, and was about to enter the store when she suddenly heard a sneer from behind.

Hearing this burst of sneering, Xia Mengmeng was slightly startled, and hurriedly turned her head to look, only to see eight or nine people coming out from the opposite teahouse.

The first person was Zhou Wenxin who came with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Zhou Wenxin, Xia Mengmeng was already a little surprised. When she saw the two inspectors next to Zhou Wenxin, she became nervous for no reason.

Zhou Wenxin came to Xia Mengmeng with a sneer, turned his head and cupped his hands at the two street patrol officers, and said with a smile.

"Two bad guys, this is shopkeeper Xia."

Speaking of this, Zhou Wenxin suddenly saw Ye Qingqing behind Xia Mengmeng, his eyes lit up, and Ye Qingqing, who was busy stretching his fingers, shouted loudly.

"Two servants, did you see it? It's the Jade Buddha statue that kid sold me."

After hearing Zhou Wenxin's words, Xia Mengmeng said angrily, "Zhou Wenxin, what nonsense are you talking about?

You asked to buy this jade Buddha statue from us, and there were so many people who testified for me at that time. "

Zhou Wenxin said, shaking his head with a sneer, "Anyway, you sold me a fake Jade Buddha statue. I brought two poor men here today just to ask you to give me an explanation. Otherwise, we See you in the yamen, I don't believe that there is no place for reasoning in Pingyang County!"

After Zhou Wenxin finished speaking, the servant beside him shook the iron chain in his hand cooperatively, and said in a cold voice.

"Dare to sell fakes in Pingyang County, don't you want to mess around!"

Hearing this, Xia Mengmeng hurriedly said, "Master, it's impossible for you to listen to his nonsense. When I bought this jade Buddha statue, all three of them originally wanted to buy it, but my husband took care of Zhou Wenxin. The jade Buddha statue was sold to Zhou Wenxin.

Sir, you can inquire about this matter. There were so many people present at the time, I think someone from them will come out to testify for me, proving that what I sold at that time was definitely not a fake. "

Hearing Xia Mengmeng's words, Zhou Wenxin immediately sneered, "You two servants, do you understand this time, she thinks that Boss Jin and Boss Gu are not at home, so she can lie here, hum, you are dreaming Hurry up and accompany me with the 2 taels of silver, otherwise, I won’t let you go.”

Hearing Zhou Wenxin's words, Xia Mengmeng was taken aback immediately, and turned to look at the servant, "Master, aren't Boss Jin and Boss Gu at home?"

The yamen servant nodded, "We went there yesterday, and the two of them have gone back to the countryside. It may take ten and a half months to come back."

Xia Mengmeng frowned, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "There were people from the Liu family who were there at the time, so they must also be able to testify for me?"

The yamen servant shook his head again, "Liu Yi, who was present at the time, had already returned by boat yesterday, so he couldn't testify for you."

Seeing Xia Mengmeng's disappointed expression, Zhou Wenxin felt secretly refreshed.

After I bought this jade Buddha statue that day, I thought I had found a treasure, but when I took it home and took a closer look, I realized that I had been fooled.

For this jade Buddha statue, he paid 25000 taels of silver, and Zhou Wenxin was scolded enough by his father, which made him ashamed.

In order to restore his self-confidence and get back the money he was cheated of, Zhou Wenxin decided to settle the score with Xia Mengmeng, no, mainly to settle the score with Ye Qingqing.

Zhou Wenxin took a step forward, came to Xia Mengmeng's side, and said in a low voice, "Sister, if you can agree to one condition, I can let this matter go...!"

Having said that, Zhou Wenxin's tone paused, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Sister, do you agree or not?"

Hearing Zhou Wenxin's words, Xia Mengmeng immediately took two steps back like a frightened rabbit, and scolded coquettishly.

"Young Master Zhou, I hope you can keep your focus and stop talking nonsense!"

After being embarrassed by Xia Mengmeng, the smile on Zhou Wenxin's face disappeared immediately, and he turned his head to look at the two yamen servants, and said in a deep voice.

"You two poor masters, since they refuse to admit it, I'll show you the real thing for everyone to see. At that time, the two poor masters will naturally understand who is telling the truth, so what they said is false!"

Just now Zhou Wenxin invited two yamen servants to drink tea, not only that, but also other things.

The two yamen servants naturally spoke to Zhou Wenxin, "Since Mr. Zhou said so, let's do it this way. There is something real here, so even if you want to quibble, you can't help it."

Hearing what the two yamen servants said, Zhou Wenxin sneered all of a sudden.

Zhou Wenxin has looked at this jade Buddha statue 800 times at home, and sometimes he can't sleep at night, so he has to take it out and look at it carefully again to see if he has misread it.

In the end, it was concluded that this jade Buddha statue, no matter how you looked at it, would definitely not be worth 25000 taels of silver.

Just as I guessed at the beginning, this jade Buddha statue is worth at most 2500 taels of silver.

The 10-fold gap made Zhou Wenxin's heart ache. On the one hand, he lost a lot of money, and on the other hand, he lost face.

Therefore, when Zhou Wenxin came here today, he not only wanted to get back his 25000 taels of silver, but also asked Xia Mengmeng to pay for mental damage to compensate him.

Seeing Zhou Wenxin's full confidence, Xia Mengmeng suddenly became a little unconfident.

When she first looked at this jade Buddha statue, Xia Mengmeng was sure that this jade Buddha statue was worth 2500 taels of silver at most.

But for some reason, in the end, as if by divine help, the Jade Buddha statue suddenly became valuable.

Although Xia Mengmeng was puzzled in her heart, she had already got the money, so she didn't think too much about it.

But thinking about it now, there were indeed many doubts about the jade Buddha statue at that time.

Thinking of this, Xia Mengmeng involuntarily turned her head to look at Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing just smiled and nodded to Xia Mengmeng, telling her not to worry!
Seeing that the two dared to flirt in front of his eyes, Zhou Wenxin was furious and shouted sharply.

"Ye Qingqing, let me tell you, since you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying this, Zhou Wenxin waved to the servant behind him, "Take out the Jade Buddha statue for them to see."

Hearing this, the servant hurriedly responded, opened the brocade box hastily, and ran to Zhou Wenxin, "My lord, the Jade Buddha has always come!"

Zhou Wenxin looked at the Jade Buddha statue in the brocade box, feeling that he couldn't see it clearly, and waved his hand at another famous scholar Ding, "Go, move a table out of the house."

Hearing Zhou Wenxin's order, the famous family member Ding hurried into the house, and soon ran out with a small table in both hands.

"My lord, the table is here, where to put it!"

Hearing the servant's words, Zhou Wenxin wanted everyone to see this jade Buddha statue, so he pointed to the side of the street, "Put it there, and I want everyone to see what kind of fakes Xia's jade shop is selling. Goods, save people from being fooled again!"

"you……."

After hearing Zhou Wenxin's words, Xia Mengmeng was taken aback immediately, and said loudly hastily.

"No, if we have something to say, let's go to the house and talk about it, and we can't put it on the street!"

Xia Mengmeng naturally knows that in a business like a jade store, what is sold is reputation. Once there are fakes, who would dare to buy something again.

What's more, things like jade are expensive, and no one would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy fakes.

Once word got out that Xia's jade shop sold fakes, its reputation for many years might be ruined.

Therefore, Xia Mengmeng would never allow Zhou Wenxin to place the Jade Buddha statue on the side of the street.

Zhou Wenxin naturally knew what Xia Mengmeng was thinking, he waved his hand to stop the famous servant, turned to look at Xia Mengmeng, and said with a sneer.

"Since you don't want others to know about Xia's selling fakes, then I can accommodate you."

At this point, Zhou Wenxin paused, stretched out a slap, smiled triumphantly, and continued, "Xia Mengmeng, 5 taels of silver, as long as you take out 5 taels of silver to redeem this jade Buddha statue, I can let the past go and return the Jade Buddha statue to you, what do you think?"

After hearing Zhou Wenxin's words, Xia Mengmeng couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded.

"Zhou Wenxin, don't forget that when you bought a jade Buddha statue, we sold it to you because you begged hard."
