Chapter 487 Backer
Chapter 487 Backer
Erniu saw that his eldest brother was in a low mood, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Erniu, go back and tell me."
Da Niu was in a very depressed mood and didn't say a word on the way back.
When Erniu saw his elder brother’s expression, he knew that things must not have been done well, but he didn’t know what would happen next.
The two of them were in eerie silence on their way back.
As soon as he got home, Daniu became like a deflated ball and suddenly shrank up.
Yun Tao knew what was going on when she saw Daniu's expression.
If it doesn't get done, maybe Danniu will be very angry.
The lady felt sorry for Daniu when she saw his condition, but she knew that now was not the time to feel sorry for him. The family had to get through the difficult times first.
"big cow."
Yuntao called out softly.
"Mom, I screwed up."
Daniel felt very aggrieved.
"That Magistrate Li is such a jerk. Mother, you have no idea how much money he wants."
Erniu immediately asked, "Brother, he won't ask for an exorbitant price, will he?"
"Erniu, he wants us to pay him fifty thousand taels of silver every year. Not five taels of silver, but fifty thousand taels of silver, mother, fifty thousand taels of silver."
"This old man, he really opened the way."
Everyone was shocked by what Daniel said.
What does fifty thousand taels mean? It would take an ordinary person a lifetime.
Many people have never seen so much silver in their entire lives, but he asked for 50,000 taels right away. Could he be crazy about the silver?
Yuntao was also shocked by what Danniu said.
"I'm afraid this County Magistrate Li has never seen silver before. He keeps talking about 50,000 taels."
"Daniu, tell me in detail what you talked about with Magistrate Li."
After hearing what Daniu said, Yuntao started to think about it.
"Daniu, we might be being targeted."
Daniu was curious, "Mom, how could our family be targeted? We didn't offend anyone."
Yun Tao sighed.
"They saw how much money our family made and became jealous. They got jealous, it's that simple."
"What Magistrate Li said was definitely what he had investigated carefully. He knows which businesses do what and how much money they earn in a day. Even if we don't know how much money they earn, we can tell by looking at your business and the amount of goods you purchase."
The lady didn't know what to do at this time and just stood there anxiously.
"Mom, we can't give it to him. If we do, then we'll have worked for nothing all year. Does he think the money we earn is blown by the wind and so easy to earn?"
Yun Tao sighed.
"Yes, he doesn't make money himself, but takes it directly from others. He certainly doesn't think it's hard to make money. After all, for him, it's just a matter of upper lip and lower lip."
"Daniu, we can't handle this matter. We have to find Shuqi."
"You guys wait here for a while, I'll go get something.
Yuntao quickly returned to her room and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in her space to find some nice Yiwu goods.
It looks very high-end and there are some skin care products.
Yuntao took the goods and walked in front of Da Niu.
When Daniu saw the things his mother brought, he was shocked. If these things were sold, they would probably cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Daniu felt very distressed because each item was expensive and he even couldn't bear to use them sometimes.
"I'm going to make you suffer today. Go find Shuqi tonight. Remember what I told you before."
"For this matter, Shuqi must ask for his father, not you. Do you understand?"
"Mom, don't worry, I understand what you mean, I'll be there right away."
Daniu took these things and set off immediately.
The lady looked at Daniu's receding back and said, "Mom, do you think there is any hope of going to Daniu this time?"
Yun Tao sat on the chair and said without raising her head, "It shouldn't be a big problem. I think this thing can definitely be done."
"But Magistrate Li hadn't gotten it done before."
Erniu said unhappily, "Sister-in-law, you don't even look at what we gave you. You may not understand this. Everything my mother gave out was good stuff. The skin care products were top-grade, worth at least five thousand taels."
Yun Tao laughed when she heard about the five thousand taels of silver. How could it be worth five thousand taels? She just boasted about it all the time. Maybe according to the ancient times, saying that it was worth one tael of silver was an overestimation. "
The efficacy is just average, mainly because the skin care products of ancient people were not very good. It seems that its efficacy is very good, but in fact it is just so-so.
But the packaging is very grand. The only good-looking thing is the packaging and the bottle inside. The bottle inside is really exquisite. If it were me, I really wouldn’t be willing to throw away that bottle.
"Sister-in-law, there's also that vase, it's not cheap either, it can easily sell for several thousand taels. I estimate the stuff inside is worth tens of thousands of taels, it hurts me to see you giving it away."
"Okay, Erniu, don't feel bad. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid."
I don't feel bad about it. They're a bunch of cheap stuff. In modern times, those things wouldn't be worth even a hundred bucks. Why should I feel bad about them?
It was almost dark when Daniu arrived at the city.
When he saw Shuqi for the first time, Shuqi knew that something really happened. Otherwise, Yuntao would not have asked Daniu to come to him overnight.
In order to avoid gossip, Shuqi specially asked his cousin to meet Daniu with him.
"Daniu, is this serious?"
"Yes."
Da Niu told Magistrate Li everything that happened to him.
Shuqi was cursing while listening.
Li He was frowning the whole time and his brows never relaxed.
Daniel finally finished speaking and looked at the two people's reactions.
The two were very angry.
"Miss Shuqi, I'm not going to beat around the bush. I really need your help with this matter."
After saying this, Daniu immediately placed the things he had brought in front of Shuqi.
“My mother asked me to bring these. To be honest, I don’t know the value of some of them, but my mother said your father would like them.
Shuqi was shocked when he opened the contents. It was not my father who would like it, but I would like it too. It was just what I wanted.
Shuqi smiled happily.
"Daniu, the gift you gave me is just what I needed. Not only my dad, but I also like it very much. I like it very much."
Li He took a look from the side. Although he didn't look closely, he could tell that it was worth a lot of money.
This time, Aunt Yun spent a lot of money, mainly because Magistrate Li was too greedy. If he had been more restrained, these things would not have fallen into the hands of my uncle.
You are so short-sighted. It's a pity to waste such a good thing.
