Chapter 146: Fourth Brother's Scheme

Just speak, don't involve me. Even if your mother doesn't let you get married, I can't marry you."Fu Baiwan at the time wasn't ignorant of this woman's character. Even if he remained a bachelor his wh..."That's right, four gold, where did you get the money" Tian Guihua sat holding her little daughter on her lap, asking with some worry.

Fu Si Jin knew her mother might have misunderstood, so she didn't beat around the bush and quickly explained, "Mother, please rest assured, I don't steal or rob."

With his guarantee, Tian Guihua finally felt at ease. "Where did you get the money You didn't come from Qian's family, and you don't have any money anyway"

The little dumpling also looked at her fourth older brother with confusion.

"When I was out there, I didn't bring back a single cent. But before that, I had already used the money I had saved to open a shop in the county."

A family of three had different expressions, but they all lacked worry.

"That shop has been open for two months now, and business is good. I know Lao Er's character, so I haven't told him about this."

"After I got home, I also wanted to say it, but our family has so many people, I was worried..."

"It's alright, you did well." Fu Baimian said, no wonder his son had been back for so long, calm and collected, looking like he had everything under control.

"I didn't care about that store before, my current shop makes several times more than it does, but it was left to me by my parents, I don't want to give it up."

Fujujiao really wants to give Si Ge a thumbs up, he's got both feelings and righteousness, courage and strategy.

"So, I've got the money for this round of bets, don't worry about it."

Fu Baiman and Tian Guihua did indeed feel guilty, so they thought of taking this money. But the result hasn't been used yet.

"Father, Mother, since I've returned home, let's forget about what happened before. You two should forget as well. Earlier, when I was in a hurry, Father even said to treat everyone fairly, right Now that you're giving me silver notes, what if my brothers find out Wouldn't that be bad"

"Fu Baiman glared at him angrily, "Did I say that was a free gift That was me lending it to you! You have to pay interest back. Don't be ridiculous, I won't lend anymore!"

Fu Baiman took the silver note.

Tian Guihua was still a little uneasy, "Si Jin, is it really enough"

"Mother, that's enough. Please rest assured, my shop makes dozens of taels of silver each month."

"He's really making money!" Fu Baiwan sighed with admiration, his son was truly capable.

This time, the elderly couple finally felt at ease. They put away the silver notes and planned to use them for their youngest daughter's dowry in the future.

The next day, Fu Sijin took the little dumpling to town and first had a bowl of noodles at Meng's house.

Mengyan saw the two people and was very happy, she even sent several plates of appetizers.

Meng Guoxiang could only sigh, women don't stay young forever.

The neighboring grain store was eerily quiet, a deathly stillness that could only occasionally be broken by Zhao Xiaoyuan's scolding of her son.

"Yanyan, I'll put Jiujiu in your room first, and I'll go check next door."

Meng Yan nodded, "You can rest assured, Jiujiao will be fine in our shop."

Guan shi was a little worried and dissuaded him, "Four Jin, that shop has been messed up by your second uncle and aunt. There are no customers coming in now, and it's being sold off. It's a shame that there isn't even anyone willing to take it over."

"Well, then, nobody's been trying to steal it from me."

Guanshi stood there dumbfounded, she didn't understand what was said.

Fu Si Jin wants to buy a shop

Where did he get the money

"Yanyan, what did Si Jin say"

Meng Yan chuckled and shook her head, "Mother, didn't you hear clearly Si Jin wants to buy the shop next door."

"Where did he get the money"

Fu Jiujiu quickly explained, "It wasn't given to me by my parents, it was earned by my fourth older brother."

"How much did he make" Guan Shi still didn't understand.

Meng Yan didn't know that Fu Sijin had a shop in the county town. She didn't care about these things, and they never talked about them.

Anyway, she's interested in Fu Sijin as a person, not his money.

He had said he would buy back the shop, so she believed him.

qian laodi and zhao xiaoyuan were previously arrogant and complacent, owing a considerable sum of money at the gambling den. Now they are in a hurry to sell their shop, someone has made an offer, but it's only thirty taels, which is far short of what they owe.

So I've been waiting to see if I could sell it for a higher price.

After waiting for four or five days, the grace period given by the casino ended, but there were still no buyers willing to pay a high price.

Finally, Fu Si Jin came and said he wanted to buy it.

"Where did you get the money" Qian Lao Er also had the same suspicion as Guan Shi.

"You don't need to worry about this. I know the people from the gambling den are coming to collect soon. I'll give you forty taels. If you're willing, I can pay right now."

Forty-five taels are more than what previous people gave, but it's still ten taels short of the gambling debt.

They thought that Fu Sijīn wasn't serious about buying the shop and wanted to take advantage of him, saying, "Sixty taels. Not a single copper less, or I'd rather tear down this shop than sell it to you."

Fu Sijin raised an eyebrow. "Then you guys go ahead and break it up,"

Qian Lao Er looked at Zhao Xiao Yuan, both of them were nervous. "Let's do it then. Don't regret it later"

"I have no regrets, it's just one shop. I can buy another if I want to. But some people would lose everything and be in real danger if they lost their money."

Qian Lao Er swallowed nervously, becoming even more uneasy. "Don't scare me," he stammered, "I'm not easily frightened."

"I think, the money I gave you should be the most. Since you don't want it, there's nothing more to talk about. I'll just leave..."

"

No…”

"

Seeing that he was really going to leave, Zhao Xiaoyuan panicked, "Fu Sijin, fifty taels of silver, fifty taels and the shop will be yours."

Fu Sijin shook his head. "There's only forty-five taels. If you don't want it, that's fine."

> "Well...deal."

With the signature stamped, the shop was back in Fu Si Jin's hands, and this time, no one could snatch it away.

Meng Yan looked at Fu Sijin shyly, her voice soft, "Sijin, you're really amazing."

Fu Sijin smirked, the couple had already started packing up to move out. They held their signed agreement in their hands, unafraid of them going back on their word.

Fu Jiujiu heard some noises from next door. She was puzzled, how did the fourth brother know that these two people owed gambling debts

As far as she knew, when Meng Yan first heard the news, her face was full of surprise. It showed that the Meng family didn't know about Qian Lao Er's debts, so they couldn't inform the fourth brother.

Could it be... that everything was orchestrated by the Fourth Brother

"Uncle Meng, Aunt Meng, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Not being Meng Guoqiang's faction, seeing Fu Si Jin take back the shop, he was still happy for him, "Say it, what's up"

Fu Jiu Jiu had a vague premonition, she felt something good was about to happen.

"I want to marry Yan Yan."

Meng Yan suddenly turned around, her fair face flushed red, but the corners of her mouth were raised.

"This..." Actually, Guan had already acquiesced in his heart. What could he do if he disagreed

If a woman is willing to marry, would it be wrong to force her to marry someone else and estrange her for life

"Four Golds, this ancient marriage, it's arranged by parents and matchmakers. Your choice is unsuitable, isn't it"

"I understand. I'm here to discuss this with both of you first. My parents also like YanYan very much. If you two don't have any objections, they will come to propose marriage. Everything will be in order."

Meng Guoxiang cleared his throat and suddenly assumed the air of an old patriarch, “Sijin, we only have one precious daughter in our family, Yan Yan. She has never suffered any grievances.”

"Yes, I know. Yanyan and I have been together since we were young, our relationship is very deep. You two have watched me grow up as well. I promise I won't wrong Yanyan."

"Well... we're not saying we need you to bring eight sedan chairs for Yanyan's wedding, but it should be a grand affair."

"Father... all that was for show." Meng Yan turned away. "What use is a single day of glory when what follows is misery"

Meng Guoqiang angrily pointed at his daughter, "You don't speak."

Mengyan pouted and let out a cold snort.

Fu Si Jin looked at her with eyes full of affection, "Uncle Meng, you can ask for anything, and I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Well, that's about right."
