  Chapter 7 Contract

  Li Ang walked hurriedly, passed through the neighborhood, and just walked out of the alley, he saw two middle-aged men standing at the entrance of Baoantang Pharmacy, about to knock on the door.

One person has dark skin, a small beard, and holds a paper fan in his hand, while the other is fat, looking kindly, playing with two Wenwan walnuts in his left hand, and a hand tied with a string in his right hand. wooden box.

  Yu Miaoshui, and Ai Rong, the leader of the Xinglin Society in Weizhou City.

  Li Ang narrowed his eyes, put the volume of "Shangqing Inspiration Chapter" under his arm, walked forward, and said hello, "Doctor Yu, Huishou Ai, this is the two of you."

   "Sunrise, I'm waiting for you."

  Ai Rong waved his hands with a smile, and handed out the wooden box, "This is a set of Xuanbi and inkstone I bought in Xuanzhou some time ago. I heard that you will also take the provincial examination this year. I wish you success."

   "Thank you, President Ai, for your kindness."

  Li Ang glanced at the wooden box, but did not take it, and said calmly: "However, if the two of you are here today for the security hall, then there is no need.

  Although Li Ang is not talented, he has no intention of selling the house. "

"this"

  Ai Rong frowned, while Yu Miaoshui next to him patted his folding fan, raised his hand and rubbed the small beard, and said lightly: "Is it your house, it's hard to say.

  President Ai? "

   Ai Rong sighed softly, and said to Li Ang: "Risheng, please take us into the house first, it's more troublesome to talk about."

  Li Ang glanced at the proud expression on Yu Miaoshui's black and thin face, frowned slightly, turned around and led the two of them to the back door of the security hall.

  Shops with a front and a backyard like Baoantang usually don’t lock the outside of the store, and only use a bolt or a lock inside the door to secure it. When the front door is closed, the host and guests enter through the door in the backyard.

   Li Ang unlocked the backyard door, and took Ai Rong and Yu Miaoshui into Baoantang shop.

These two people were obviously not friendly, and he was not in the mood to ask the maid to boil the pot of water, so he moved the door latch to let the sun shine in, then poured some warm water from the pot in the morning, and sprinkled a few pieces of tea leaves casually, as if it were a treat for guests tea.

"Ah."

Yu Miaoshui took a sip of the warm teacup, put the teacup gently on the wooden table, cleared his throat and said, "Risheng, your father and I are old acquaintances. He has worked hard all these years to save lives and heal the wounded." , is a role model for Weizhou doctors.

   And our Xinglin Club has always had the purpose of helping each other and helping each other.

  Let’s put it this way, I’m willing to pay 180 guan, plus a house on Anlin Street in the east of the city, and ten acres of paddy fields outside the city,

  Buy Baoantang and the three-acre medicine field under the name of Baoantang.

   One hundred and eighty guan to pay for living needs, the house is used for living, and the paddy fields can be rented out to tenant farmers for an annual rent. "

Yu Miaoshui closed the paper fan with a smile, took another sip of tea, and said triumphantly: "All together, it will be enough for your livelihood for the next ten years, and I even brought the land deed, as long as you sign it, then go Report to the yamen, and you will be able to move closer to the house on Anlin Street at night."

   Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, "I refuse."

   "That's right. Huh? What?"

"I reject."

  Li Ang repeated it, and said lightly: "Since Dr. Yu is willing to offer such a high price, it is naturally impossible to continue the safe and stable operation of Baoan Tang.

  If my father’s soul in the sky sees Baoantang turned into a place for selling your “Wan Ling Mung Bean Soup” or other “Fu Yi Miracle Medicine”, he must not rest in peace. "

Li Ang emphasized the words "Wan Ling Mung Bean Soup" and "Fu Yi Miracle Medicine". Ai Rong looked embarrassed, and Yu Miaoshui narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of hatred appearing on his slightly dark face. .

  In his life, he hated those doctors and doctors who called themselves Fuyi.

"snort."

Yu Miaoshui's eyes were as cold as frost. Some time ago, he snatched a prescription from an old countryman, which was half-collected and half-taken. It was called Black Tiger Pill. It can cure limb pain, joint swelling, and poor flexion and extension.

He intends to follow the example of other medical families in the world, so that Jifutang under his name will only sell black tiger pills as a secondary medicine from now on. Rolling in money.

  The Baoantang, which is adjacent to the Weishui River and can easily sell medicines to any city in Jiangnan Province through the waterway, is an indispensable piece of the puzzle in his plan.

   This pharmacy, this piece of land, he wants to order.

   "Do you really think that this security hall belongs to you?"

  Yu Miaoshui sneered: "Ai Huishou?"

  Ai Rong sighed softly, and took out a piece of paper from his bosom.

   "This is the description of the land deed and house deed of Baoan Tang Version B."

  Ai Rong said: "I don't know if your father told you, but seventeen years ago when he built the Baoan Hall, he borrowed money from the public account of the Xinglin Society.

  At that time, the former head of the Xinglin Society was not me, but an old doctor who had passed away in the south of the city.

The contract says that in June of the third year of the Yongzheng, your father will borrow Xinglin to get 150 guan, 50 guan after two years, 100 guan after five years, and 150 guan after ten years. , a total of three hundred guan.

  If all the money is paid off, then this security hall will belong to your father from now on,

  If after seventeen years, that is, in June of this year, the 150 guan is not available, then the Xinglin Club has the right to take back the real estate of Baoan Tang and not refund the previous accounts. "

  Ai Rong put the paper on the table, pushed it in front of Li Ang, and explained: "Compared to the high loans issued by those banks and temples, Xinglin will double the principal for ten years for members, which is considered kind.

  For this statement, your father has a version A, Xinglin has a version B, and the yamen has two copies, all of which are documented. "

Li Ang glanced at the signatures, fingerprints, and patterns around the paper. There was nothing wrong with it. In his memory, he also seemed to have heard his father Li Hanquan mention that he lost a contract at home. version and the like.

  He put down the contract silently, looked at Ai Rong and Yu Miaoshui calmly, "Is this considered oppression?"

   "Where the sun rises."

  Yu Miaoshui grinned and said: "Isn't this because you are worried about your grief during the funeral and don't have the heart to deal with these chores?

  If President Ai intends to oppress, he can wait until the last day of May, and then bring this contract over and take away the security hall directly. "

  Li Ang didn't look at Yu Miaoshui at all, but asked Ai Rong: "President Ai, I remember that the use of public accounts of Xinglin Club is voted by every member who pays the membership fee, right?

  Didn’t this matter be mentioned in the last regular meeting of the Xinglin Association? "

"this"

Ai Rong showed a dark expression of hesitation, turned his head to look at Yu Miaoshui, Li Ang knew it in his heart, it seems that during the four months of the funeral, Yu Miaoshui has already spent money to take care of all the other doctors in the Xinglin Society in Weizhou City .

   Not even a few days of grace will be given.

  Li Ang nodded slowly, "I understand."

"finally understood?"

Yu Miaoshui sneered, if it wasn't for fear of spreading the bad reputation, he really planned to let Xinglinhui directly take away the shop and land of Baoan Tang on the last day, "Twenty days, after twenty days it will be one hundred and fifty consistent contract period.

  I think Risheng, you probably don’t have this money, right?

hehe,

  The three-acre medicine field under the name of Baoan Tang can only be pawned with thirty guan. And if you borrow usury loans, you can barely plug the hole, but with heavy interest, the Baoan Tang will still fall into the hands of others within a few months.

   It's better to sell Baoan Tang to me now, so as to save the face of the old medical hall.

   Otherwise, it would be miserable if we had to beg for food from others when we were living on the street. "

   Tap, tap, tap.

  Footsteps came from the stairway, and Chai Cuiqiao, who had been eavesdropping on the stairway, trotted over, blushed, put her fists on her waist, and yelled at Miaoshui: "You are too deceitful!"

  Yu Miaoshui and Ai Rong didn't look at her at all, they stared straight at the expressionless Li Ang, waiting for his reply.

brush.

   Li Ang stood up from the chair, waved his finger to the open front door, and said calmly: "Please, please, come back in twenty days. By then, I will raise one hundred and fifty guan."
