Chapter 30: Debts
Regarding this matter, Jiang Li felt that his father was really inconsiderate, and he actually made such a predicament for himself.
What's even more fatal is that the father actually borrowed money from the second wife, and the second wife just had a conflict with herself.
Jiang Li is not too clear about the second wife's personality, but Jiang Li's first feeling of getting along with her, Jiang Li feels that she is not a friendly person, it seems that this time she borrowed her father's money to be able to make a lot of money from it, if the second wife knew what happened to her father this time, she would definitely run over to find her father as soon as possible.
Jiang Li had to think about how to deal with it, and Jiang Li was unable to repay his father's debt, because she didn't have that much silver at all, and they still had a lot of silver taels in the past, but they only gave it to the poor directly after they came out of the mountain.
Besides, they didn't save money at all, and once they had it, they gave it to the poor as soon as they could, otherwise their father wouldn't have to borrow money from others.
"Do you know the personality of the second wife? You dare to go to her to borrow money? ”
"I think that she is the Duke of Tang Guofu, and she is Lin Zimo's second mother, thinking that there is still a relationship between us. As for who she is, I really haven't known yet. ”
Jiang Li shook his head and said that he didn't know, but Jiang Li put himself and his second wife? The contradiction is spoken.
Father Jiang was very annoyed after hearing this: "What? You say she actually said we are bandits? But according to you, how could she possibly lend us money? ”
"I don't know much about that. You better tell me the cause and effect of this incident! ”
"I started to raise money everywhere since I found the source of goods, because this time the money is not a small amount, I found a lot of money and they promised to lend me money, but I have to run a few more, that day I was emptying the money when I happened to meet the second wife, she happened to be where to deposit the money in the bank, but you also know the interest of the bank, it is very meager, she saw that I used the money so she wanted to lend me the money, and then according to the interest of the bank. I thought that I could get so much money, and I didn't have to run so much money, so I signed a contract with her. Took her money. ”
"You are missing a guarantee, do you know what you are using as a guarantee, you are using your daughter as a guarantee, no wonder the second wife is so arrogant in front of me. She is also smart, thinking that she can make a lot of money, but she didn't expect it to become such a situation, if she knew about it, she would be able to pay it back? ”
Father Jiang was also anxious, he didn't think about it so much at the beginning, Jiang Li, in a few words, he woke himself up.
"It's okay, we still have a house, and when the time comes, I can mortgage it first, and I can also scrape together the money to pay them back, so that you won't lose face in the Tang State Mansion."
"Father, how can this house be sold if you say it? This is the house that the emperor gave us, if you sell it, the emperor will know about it, and he will definitely think that you are disrespectful to him. You can't do this idea. ”
"Then what do you think should be done about this matter?"
Jiang Li thought for a while and said to his father: "Now the matter can only be covered by soldiers to block the water and earth." ”
"Do you mean to wait for them to come to collect their debts?"
Jiang Li nodded and said to his father: "You don't have to worry about this matter, you first take a look at how much of the medicine in the water can be fished out, make up for the loss as much as possible, and then I will deal with the rest." When the time comes, we can get a sum of money, and we can give her a part of it first, and then we can find a way. ”
Father Jiang nodded, and said to Jiang Li: "Things have come to this point, and I can only plan like this, I will first go and see how much of the goods in the water are salvaged, but can you deal with such a tricky problem, besides, the second wife is not an idle person, and in the end it will make you suffer in front of her, otherwise it is better to leave it to me, and it will be good for her to see me." After all, I borrowed this money! ”
Jiang Li said to your father in order to make his father's heart feel relieved: "Don't worry, father, I can handle it, you can deal with the things over there with peace of mind, if the things over there can be handled well, I will also think about it a little easier." ”
Jiang's father felt that what Jiang Li said made sense, so he took a few people out, Jiang's mother saw Jiang's father hurriedly going out of the house, her heart was in chaos, and her face couldn't help showing a hint of clues, knowing that something must have happened now, she hurriedly went to find Jiang Li, wanting to ask Jiang Li what was going on.
As soon as Jiang's mother walked to the door of the room, she saw Jiang Li walking outside, Jiang Li saw Jiang's mother with a sad face, Jiang Li knew that her mother must have known that her father had an accident.
When Jiang Mu saw Jiang Li speak, she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what happened to your father?" Why did you suddenly become so sad and rush outside? ”
"Why, haven't you been paying attention to your father during this time? What did he do, mother, don't you know? ”
"What the hell is wrong with your father, he never wants to tell his family about him, you know that, unless he is willing to say a few words to you when you are in the house, he will definitely be impatient if we ask."
Jiang Li naturally understood what her mother said, looking at her anxious face, Jiang Li planned to tell her mother everything that her father had encountered in order to keep her mother from worrying about her father, otherwise, her mother would have to think crankily again.
Jiang Li told her mother not to worry, she would tell her what was wrong, but how could Jiang's mother not be in a hurry?
"My father recently came back from a batch of medicine from the north, and he wanted to make a lot of money, but something happened on the way, and now he can only try to salvage it, hoping to make up for a little loss."
"What, there is such a thing, but where does he get the money for medicine?"
It seems that Jiang's mother doesn't know anything about this matter, and Jiang Li explained the reason to her mother.
Mother Jiang felt very sorry for Jiang Li, and said to Jiang Li: "Your father has to sandwich you in the middle of this incident again, how are you going to deal with this matter?" ”
"Don't worry, Mother, I naturally have my own way."
"If they come to the door, you can leave it alone and leave it to me. Otherwise, she will definitely not give you a good look in the Tang Guogong Mansion in the future. ”
It seems that the mother also thought of this, and sure enough, the women's minds are all the same.
