Chapter 145 The Old Lady's Purpose
Seeing his aunt-in-law crying at the top of her lungs and a barely perceptible flash of panic across the old lady's face, Ye Changyan knew that there was already a grudge between his aunt-in-law and the old lady.
Faced with the current situation, Ye Changyan believes that a large part of the responsibility should be attributed to the old lady.
When the golden hairpin incident broke out, it was obvious that this was not the first or second time that the old lady had to clean up the mess for Ye Xiaowu.
It was the old lady's repeated support for Ye Xiaowu that made Ye Xiaowu more and more unscrupulous, to the point that he went down a dead end and eventually mortgaged the title deed of the old house.
Ye Changyan believed that if this incident had not occurred, Ye Xiaowu might even have mortgaged the title deed of the old house. A person whose emotions are controlled by gambling might even sell his children.
The old lady indulged him again and again. She thought she was protecting the dignity of the Ye family and the face of her children and grandchildren. But in fact, she was ruthlessly doting on Ye Xiaowu, causing him to slide step by step into the abyss of hell.
Ye Changyan believes that in order to pull Ye Xiaowu back from hell, the old house must go through a bloody lesson and curb the idle and unenterprising nature of the people in the old house. The best way is to make them lose their means of survival, and having the land taken away by the money house may be the best opportunity.
Seeing that Xu's emotions had stabilized after being comforted by the big girl, the old lady spoke.
"Sanlang, now this whole family relies on the inheritance left by your grandfather. You have studied a lot, are well-educated, and know many people in the government. I came here with a shameless face today just to ask you for help to think of a way for this family to overcome the current difficulties."
The old lady's words sounded sincere and heartfelt, but Ye Changyan knew that the old lady was plotting against him. However, Ye Changyan had already made up his mind. Facing the old lady's request, Ye Changyan's mood had already calmed down.
"Grandma, the most important thing right now is to find a way to raise money."
Everyone present knew it, but it was not easy to raise such a large sum of money.
"There is still nearly 100 taels of silver in the family account, some of my savings, some of your second aunt's gold and silver jewelry, plus the money your eldest aunt can raise, adding up to about 100 taels. This is still more than 1,000 taels away from the debt."
"Grandma, we have not been here long. When we passed the exam, we received some gifts, and then we earned some bonuses from telling stories in the restaurant. As you know, we used all this money to buy the thirty-odd acres of land in Shanghe Village. We also used some of the bonuses to buy medicine for Dad a few times. We don't have much money left."
No one could refute Ye Changyan's words. Everyone in the old house knew about the third house's apparent income, that is, the tips from storytellers. The old house had also inquired about it openly and secretly. It was also true that the third house bought land from Li Baolin. The money Ye Xiaozheng earned from prescribing medicine was something that even thunder could not stop.
Everyone in the old house knew that it was not very likely to get some money from the third house, but the old lady had not originally planned to get some money from the third house. Her goal was to let Ye Changyan come forward to find a solution. Ye Changyan knew a lot of people, for example, Zhong Yunfeng was a rich man.
"Sanlang, you tell stories in Yunfeng Tower, and you know a lot of people here. For example, Mr. Zhong, the owner of Yunfeng Tower, not only runs the huge Yunfeng Tower, but also buys so many cows and rents them to the villagers for free, and builds such a large processing workshop in the village. If it weren't for your face, such a good thing would never have come to our village."
The old lady's words made everyone in the third room hear some clues. Lian's face turned a little ugly. Wulang and Erniu also looked at Ye Changyan with worry, but Ye Xiaozheng looked at Ye Changyan with hope.
Ye Changyan also guessed what the old lady was thinking, so he took over the conversation.
"Grandma, this Boss Zhong is a businessman. The fact that he can run such a large Yunfeng Building proves that he is good at business. The reason why he built a cattle farm and a processing workshop in our village was naturally the result of careful consideration. As for whether there is some personal relationship involved, I have no way of knowing!"
Ye Changyan intended to leave a glimmer of hope for everyone in the old house, but it was just a glimmer of hope.
After hearing what Ye Changyan said, the old lady agreed. After all, the old man had been the shopkeeper for so many years, and the old lady had learned some business principles from the old man, so she asked directly.
"Sanlang, can you help find Boss Zhong and see if he can help think of a solution?"
Hearing the old lady's direct question, Liu and Xu both stared at Ye Changyan. As for the people in the third room, except Ye Xiaozheng who hoped that Ye Changyan could help find Zhong Yunfeng, Lian, Wulang and Erniu were all filled with worry.
If Zhong Yunfeng really agreed to help, his family would owe Zhong Yunfeng a huge favor, and how would the old house have the money to repay Zhong Yunfeng then?
Facing people with different thoughts, Ye Changyan smiled secretly in his heart, but spoke sincerely on the surface.
"Grandma, since you've said this, would your grandson be willing to help? Let's ask. It just so happens that a convoy from the prefecture will come to the processing workshop to deliver candy tomorrow. I'll ask them to send a message to Boss Zhong then."
Hearing Ye Changyan's straightforward agreement, everyone in the old house seemed to have a huge stone lifted from their hearts, and smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously.
Ye Xiaozheng nodded with satisfaction. Only Lian, Wulang and Erniu had worries visibly written on their faces.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Ye Changyan shook his head secretly, but continued speaking.
"It's just that Mr. Zhong is busy with the opening of the Yunfeng Building branch in the capital city at the moment, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a while. And the debt is due in a few days, so you have to make plans for both scenarios. I know that your grandmother and your two aunts' families are both wealthy, and grandfather has some connections when he was the shopkeeper. At this critical moment, you have to use them all."
Ye Changyan's words sounded like he was considering the old house, but in fact he was pointing out the last way out for the old house. If they placed all their hopes on himself, then there would really not be much time and opportunity left for them.
The old lady and everyone in the old house seemed to be thinking about something after hearing what Ye Changyan said. Then they heard the old lady speaking to Ye Changyan with a smile on her face.
"Sanlang, I'm very happy that you agreed to go and talk to Boss Zhong. I'll remember your kindness. We'll try our best to raise money these days. If Boss Zhong responds, please let me know in time."
