Chapter 211 Rent Collection
Zheng Long came to Xu Chunjun's side, Xu Chunjun put down the needle and thread in his hand, and said to A Mino and A Li beside him: "Show the butler the tea."

"Don't dare to dare, the old slave should stand still." Zheng Long has always abided by respect.

"You should sit down and talk! Although there is a difference between master and servant, you are an old man in this house, and you have served the old man. We juniors should give you a high regard." Xu Chunjun's attitude was kind, she said Also reasonable.

Many young masters of big families will treat servants who have served their elders differently.

"Then thank you, Grandma." Zheng Long thanked him, and sat on the chair with a slanted body.

"I asked someone to invite you here to discuss with you about repaying the debt for the uncle." Xu Chunjun said with a sigh.

"According to grandma, what should we do?" Zheng Long asked without answering, he wanted to see what Xu Chunjun was planning.

"I'm really worried when I think about it. I didn't expect that the uncle owed so much debt outside. The money in our account is not enough to pay back. What's more, even if the money in the account is embezzled, what will happen to the family's expenses? What about it?" Xu Chunjun sighed several times while speaking, "If I have money, I can take it out and pay it back for a while, that's fine. But my dowry is not much. There are money sent to the uncle, and the sum is thousands of dollars. It is all my own private money, and now I can't give much money."

"Grandma said that 3000 taels is really not a small amount for us." Zheng Long couldn't help but nodded and sighed.

Xu Chunjun's natal family is not a wealthy family either, so she did her best to provide the money.

"I thought, don't we still have two shops in our house? It should be a little bit of money, plus it's autumn harvest, and the farm should pay rent." Xu Chunjun didn't look like he was in charge of the family, but he seemed to be asking for money. The poor relatives of the door, "If you put these together, can you make up for the debt owed by the uncle?"

"Grandma, you also know that the main income of our mansion is supported by these two roads. Before our family had several shops in the city, most of the land on the farm was first- and second-class Good land. But later, the uncle was too expensive, and the money in the account was not enough, so he could only sell the shop and the land. Up to now, there are still two half-dead shops, and the land is only more than 100 mu .It’s mostly third-class land, and the grain production is not much.” Zheng Long shook his head helplessly.

If Zheng Wuji hadn't been such a prodigal, even if he hadn't been an official, the income from the shop and property in his family would be enough for him to live comfortably.

But every day he flies around, eats wine and goes to theaters, and he does whatever costs a lot.

Even if there are mountains of gold and silver in the family, he can't stand him tossing around like this.

"You mean that the shop and the rent collection can't even come together for 3000 taels?" Xu Chunjun seemed surprised and frightened.

"It's only in the early [-]s at most, and the price of food is high." Zheng Long replied.

"This...how can I do this?" It seemed that Xu Chunjun was really anxious.

"Why don't you ask your wife and old lady to help them think of a way." Zheng Long said tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chunjun immediately rejected it: "This is not good, how can we let them know about such a horrible thing, isn't this making them sick?"

Zheng Long thought to himself, although this grandma is not a good housekeeper, she is really first-class filial piety.

If someone else heard that her husband owed so much money outside, she would have gone to find her mother-in-law in tears.

"Don't be too anxious, young mistress. Didn't you tell those who want the bill? Wait until the uncle returns to the capital and check it before giving them the money. There is still time in the middle. Let's do everything possible to plug this hole. Just go up." Zheng Long said.

Xu Chunjun bowed his head and thought for a while, then said helplessly: "There is no good way, I can only do this. I will go back to my mother's house in two days to have a look. There is no water in the well, let's go shopping."

"Grandma, let this old slave talk more. When the uncle comes back from Dongdu, at least try to persuade him and let him calm down! If this continues, our family will really be broken up." Zheng Long advised Xu Chunjun, "You paid him back this time and the next time, when will you be the boss?"

"Although it is said so, there is an ancient saying: if you are not married, follow your father, and if you marry, follow your husband. It is also said that marrying a chicken is like a chicken, and marrying a dog is like a dog. Old ladies and wives can talk about him, but I can't." Xu Chunjun is a school of fools. , "Otherwise, wouldn't it be against Tiangang?"

Hearing what she said, Zheng Long couldn't say anything else, so he could only say: "Grandma said the same thing, it's the old slave who is confused."

"You are also kind," Xu Chunjun was not angry at all, "Go to the shop and the Zhuangzi later, and get back the money you should have collected. I can't handle these things, so I have to trouble you."

"This is what an old slave should do," Zheng Long said hurriedly, "I don't dare to be a laborer."

"By the way, you can take these account books to the accountant by the way." Xu Chunjun said, ordering A Li to bring the stack of account books to Zheng Long.

The dust on the top has accumulated very thickly, and there is a clear fingerprint when I scratch it.

It seems that this account book has been kept with Xu Chunjun for half a month, and she has never even looked through it.

Zheng Long came out with the account book in his arms, went directly to the account room and handed it to Lou Qian.

Lou Qian patted the account book, and the rising dust made him cough a few times.

The two mustaches fluttered for a long time before they stopped.

"Well, how did you take it back to me! This grandma has a good fetus, but it's actually an embroidered pillow." Lou Qian shook his head and laughed at Xu Chunjun, "From this point of view, she and Xu Chunjun The uncle is really a couple made by nature."

"Don't talk about these useless things, I will go to Zhuangzi to collect rent with me these two days." Zheng Long said, "There is still a hole waiting to be plugged!"

He still had things to do, so he left the house.

Turn a few streets and stop in front of a door in Zaozhi Alley.

He tapped on the door, and it opened.

"It's the master who's back!" It was a little girl who had just cut her hair that opened the door, closed the courtyard door, and ran into the courtyard again.

The yard is not too big, but it is neat and tidy.Turning around the screen wall, there are three main rooms and two side rooms.

A woman in her early 20s came out from the door, wearing silk and satin with gold and silver, with a smile on her pink face, she threw herself into Zheng Long's arms like a butterfly.

"What's the master up to lately? I haven't been here for a few days." The woman complained in a low voice, acting like a baby rather than being angry.

Zheng Long walked in and said, "What can I do? There's a mess over there, what can I worry about? I'm going to the countryside again in two days, so I came to see you."

"Xiao Hua'er, hurry up and prepare the food and drink. Now that it's too late, let's book a table at the Gaosheng restaurant in front." The young woman told the girl next to her, "I'll have a drink with the master."
