8. The house was actually inhabited
"Let's talk about it." Han Huaiyi said, Zhang Shuming hesitated, this guy actually remembered to say to Wang Shusen first: "Mr. Wang, you can be regarded as hearing what Han Er said." I told him that he would have to cut the rent by half for me. ”
Wang Shusen couldn't wait to smack him when he saw him so shameless.
Han Huaiyi was angry: "I don't listen, don't tell me!" ”
"I said I said." Zhang Shuming was in a hurry, it was fifty taels of silver a year, and he had to sell many tables of vegetables to earn it back.
He immediately explained to Han Huaiyi: "Shi Jintao's housekeeper Wu Peiming brought the second and third children of your family to me at that time, and he said that as long as I can move your family to be willing to press the price of the charter to normal, even the two taels of silver for the person and the ship, just give me this amount." ”
He raised his hand and said with some embarrassment: "Five hundred." ”
Wang Shusen was furious when he heard this, and asked him: "Why are you embarrassed?" ”
"No, I'm not worried about it, I'm worried that if they and the Shi family want to be too ruthless, it will be bad... Zhang Shuming didn't dare to say it.
"The matter didn't work out, did the Shi family give you money?" Han Huaiyi asked him, seeing that Zhang Shuming was silent, Han Huaiyi thought to himself what kind of unscrupulous and stupid thing this was.
Zhang Shuming obviously didn't want to have a face, and he actually looked at him with a blank eye after speaking.
The meaning in his eyes was obvious, I told you everything, then you have to give me a cheaper rent.
Han Huaiyi didn't bother to scold him directly, so he went to Wang Shusen and said, "Mr. Wang, did I say it before he spoke, I didn't listen to it, and asked him not to say it?" ”
Wang Shusen suddenly knew Han Huaiyi's methods, and he laughed directly and nodded again and again.
Han Huaiyi stretched out his hand at Zhang Shuming: "Look, I didn't let you say it, what do you say it yourself?" The contract is still as usual! ”
Zhang Shuming was played by this thing, and immediately covered his heart, and his tone couldn't straighten his waist.
Han Huaiyi had no sympathy for him at all.
He just asked Wang Shusen to go first as if he didn't see it, and said to Wang Shusen after going out: "Mr. Wang, I asked you to sell Liu Decheng's two houses before, please hurry up, in short, I won't treat you badly in terms of commission." ”
"What are you doing here?" Although Wang Shusen was curious, he quickly stopped.
Han Huaiyi smiled: "It doesn't matter if I tell you." My family is going to return the funds to buy some more boats and have a good fight with the Shi family. ”
"Oh, that's fine." Wang Shusen nodded again and again, and Han Huaiyi smiled secretly and continued with him: "Mr. Wang, I still ask you to do me a favor here, please spread this news and help my family put some pressure on Shi Jintao?" ”
"Cheng, you don't mind me saying it, then I'll say it, otherwise I won't talk too much." Wang Shusen said.
"Mr. Wang, there will be more places to trouble you in the future, our family, now we have to fight with the Shi family, you just watch." Han Huaiyi said goodbye.
Wang Shusen, who had seen his methods today, looked at his back and thought to himself, Han Er's saying that he was a prodigal son turned back, could it be that it really didn't happen.
This guy really helped his eldest brother with his heart, and Shi Jintao suffered a bad luck, and now it is really difficult to say whether the victory or defeat between the Han family and the Shi family is.
After bidding farewell to Wang Shusen, Han Huaiyi went to the top priority of the Han family, the north wharf of the city.
Zhou Ada is really down-to-earth in doing things.
In just two days, he took Xiangsheng and Ah Bao to plan the entire wharf neatly and neatly, and formulated an inspection system to prevent fires.
Yu'er was peeling soybeans at the door of the warehouse with two aunts, and when she saw him coming, the girl hurriedly stood up and shouted with a smile: "Young master." ”
"Get busy together, get busy." After Han Huaiyi sat down, he picked up the basket in Yu'er's hand and helped peel the soybeans.
Yu'er went to drag a small bench and squatted next to him, and then chirped: "Young master, why are you free today?" ”
"The owner came to see if the pet was stealing." Han Huaiyi said that this guy has always wanted to come out of the house, and then he actually took a soybean and stuffed it into someone's mouth, saying, "Be good, hold it for the master!" ”
The beans were jerky and a little fishy, and the fish hurriedly snorted them, and then argued with him: "You are the pet." ”
"Yo, it's going to blow up." Han Huaiyi whistled angrily, and asked the two old mothers: "You cook here every day, do you like any offspring, do you want the young master to be a matchmaker for you." ”
The two old mothers were speechless for a moment, and this time it was the turn of the fish to giggle and say, "Young master, you are so bad, catch whoever you bully whom."
When the prodigal son was idle on the dock and even the old mother was teasing, Han Huaizhong and Gao Yuming were still on the boat to Shanghai.
In the spring, the waterway was smooth sailing, and the boat went very smoothly.
From dark to dawn to dark, two days and nights later, the passenger ship finally passed Jiading and began to turn around the concession to the 16 Pu Wharf.
The sun was shining brightly on the largest city in the Far East.
Huaizhong and Gao Yuming, who hadn't been to Shanghai for many years, were stunned when they looked at the bustling flow of people on the Sixteen Pu Wharf.
Compared with Yangzhou, which is in the off-season of water transportation, the unloading area of the Shiliupu Wharf is full of goods, and the coolies are sweating.
In front of them, there was an endless uproar.
"Melon seeds and peanuts, foreign fire, foreign paintings and foreign smoke."
"Go to the French Concession to this side, go to the north of the Public Concession."
"Look at the newspapers and read the newspapers, on the 27th of this month, Zhang Yuan will hold a meeting to reject Russia, and patriots are welcome to actively participate.
Han Huaizhong and Gao Yuming squeezed for a long time before they got on two rickshaws in the direction of the Old Town God's Temple.
After entering the concession, there were many foreign companies along the way, and the carriages and horses were not mentioned.
When they arrived at the house that Han Chengde bought the year before last, the two were stunned.
Because there are people living in the house!
The Han family's house is a two-story western-style building, and there is a small garden in the small iron gate, which is very different from the Han family's old house, and looks very elegant and trendy.
But in the house that should have been uninhabited, a sheet was put on the railing of the balcony on the second floor like a dogskin plaster.
When Han Huaizhong pushed open the door with a fire, someone came out of the house.
Seeing this person, Han Huaizhong and Gao Yuming were both furious, because they recognized that this person was Liu Decheng's cousin Liu Dezhi.
In his early years, Liu Dezhi also ate the Han family's meals in Yangzhou, but he was fired because his hands and feet were not clean.
There was no news of him for many years, and everyone didn't pay attention to him.
Han Huaizhong had arranged for Wang Shusen to find people from Shanghai the year before last to clean the house regularly.
For this matter, the Han family also gave the person five taels of silver every year.
Why is Liu Dezhi living here now?
Liu Dezhi was instinctively stunned when he saw Han Huaizhong, and then reacted, this guy's face was slightly red, and said, "Oh, it's the owner here?" ”
Han Huaizhong looked at him with a cold face and buried his head in the house.
As soon as he entered the room, Han Huaizhong was angry, and saw that the walls and floors of the house were dirty, and a short and thin woman looked at him in horror.
Han Huaizhong stumbled upstairs again and found that Liu Dezhi was still living in the master bedroom!
