Chapter 132: 10-year contract
Chapter 132 Ten-year contract
Because Tong'an Village is a well-known big village, the people in the village are much more prestigious than other villages, and they don't always look good when they see ordinary people.
Liu Shuyang went to call the door, and Liu Chengming saw that it was the young son-in-law of the Chu family, and was even a little annoyed if he didn't want to talk to him, but when he heard that the eldest daughter of the Chu family was following him, he immediately turned his face and smiled welcome out.
As for the student of the village miser and the celebrity in the county government, he did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly led a few people into the main room and sat down, and with a look of enthusiasm, he ordered his wife, Mrs. Su, to make some good tea, and then Bring the freshly picked peaches at home to Erbao to eat.
Liu Chengming said happily to Chu Nanzhi while blowing the tea foam: "I heard that my niece has returned to her mother's house, and she didn't come to see my uncle's house. Did you forget about my uncle after being brilliant?"
Tong'an Village has many households with the surname Liu. Although they all have the same surname, this Lizheng and Liu Yun are actually inseparable relatives.
However, he regarded himself as his uncle, so Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to call out: "Uncle said nothing, my niece is a peasant woman, there is no such thing as brilliant, and I know that my uncle is busy with the affairs of the village all day long, so I dare not disturb her easily. "
"Oh?"
Liu Chengming squinted his eyes: "Then why did my niece want to visit my uncle today?"
"Hehe, to be honest, uncle and niece want to come and talk to you about the fish pond in the village today."
Chu Nanzhi didn't beat around the bush, and made it clear what she came for. Anyway, she was giving him money, so he wouldn't refuse for no reason.
Hearing this, Liu Chengming frowned, with a complicated expression on his face: "Could it be that my niece also wants to raise fish? It's not an easy task. You must be aware of the fish pond."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile: "It's clear, don't worry, uncle, you can just contract the fish pond to your niece. If the Qin family comes to make trouble, you can just ask him to find your niece."
Liu Chengming sighed and thought for a moment: "It would be great if you come to take over the fish pond, niece. That little **** Qin Sihai is only relying on the power of the Qi family. You just need to talk to your cousin, don't tell me. If you raise fish in a pond, even if you open a restaurant in the county, no one will dare to touch your finger."
"Uncle, how do you know that my aunt is going to open a restaurant in the city?"
Er Bao asked in surprise while holding half of the unfinished peaches.
"What, niece, do you really want to open a restaurant in the county?"
Liu Chengming almost sprayed out a mouthful of tea from his mouth.
Chu Nanzhi saw his fuss, and said bluntly: "It is indeed planning this matter."
Anyway, it is an aboveboard matter, and there is no need to hide it from everyone.
After Liu Chengming heard this, he thought about it and slowly put the tea bowl on the table. Su Shi couldn't help but interjected: "Nan Zhi, you have to discuss with your cousin about opening a restaurant. Auntie heard that these days The newly opened restaurants in the city were smashed one after another, and they suffered a lot of damage. Your cousin's family is strong, and if they protect the entire Luyan Port, no one would dare to provoke you."
She also heard some rumors recently, and heard that the Qi and Chu families had some conflicts, and she was a little worried, fearing that she would come to the house to argue for refunding the money if she couldn't raise the fish.
"My aunt was joking."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be careless and replied: "It's just going to the city to do some small business. The main road faces the sky and each side walks. I don't interfere with other people's way, so I don't need to inform him."
The couple looked at each other in a dilemma.
Chu Nanzhi took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, my niece is not the kind of unreasonable person, I will pay you the money today, the same as Qin Yuhai for two years, as long as there is no problem with the fish pond, I will specify I will make trouble for you."
Hearing this, Liu Chengming muttered.
I am not clear about her reputation in the past few years. Now that she is backed by a villager and a county magistrate, it is even more difficult to end things.
Seeing that he was hesitant, Chu Nanzhi decisively took out thirty taels of silver from the purse and put it on the table, and motioned: "Look, uncle, I have brought all the silver, so put your heart in your stomach." , Today we will set up written evidence, black and white as evidence, if I cheat you can sue me."
Liu Chengming looked at the several white ingots of silver placed on the table, he was a little moved, hesitated for a while, and finally let go: "OK, niece, but uncle's ugly words are the first, if something goes wrong, uncle silver Designations are non-refundable."
"it is good."
Hearing what he said, Chu Nanzhi had an idea, and smiled slyly: "That would be better than this, uncle, I will sign a ten-year contract with you, and I will pay the money every two years, and I will take care of any problems in the fish pond during the period." Take it, it has nothing to do with you."
"Ten years?"
Liu Chengming immediately fell into a dilemma.
The lease period is too long. If you sign the contract, you can’t go back on it. If there is a better use in the future, you can’t take it back, but the second half of her words are really touching.
As long as the money is collected today, you can put it in your pocket with confidence, and there are written documents as proof, even if there is a problem with the pool itself, it has nothing to do with him. This is really a tempting deal.
At the beginning, he was cheated by that little **** Qin Yuhai, and he was greedy for the dozens of taels of silver. He was afraid that the fish pond would remain idle, so he gave it to him without a document, but now it has become a burden that cannot be shaken off.
Seeing that he was undecided, Chu Nanzhi immediately persuaded him: "Uncle, what are you worried about? If uncle doesn't contract to niece, I'm afraid that even if there are people in the whole village who want to raise fish, they can't do it anymore. You contract the fish pond today. For my niece, I won money and got rid of Qin Yuhai, killing two birds with one stone, if you miss this village, you won’t have this shop.”
Hearing this, Liu Chengming didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and finally nodded firmly: "Okay, just follow what you said, niece, and uncle will create a written proof for you."
Then he hurriedly went to find a pen and paper, wrote down the content of the agreement between the two of them in detail, signed and stamped their fingerprints, and then looked at the few ingots of silver, Liu Chengming felt more at ease.
But calm down and think about it carefully, why do you always feel like you have been put together.
Now the imperial court encourages the development of commerce and trade. This pond is the largest in the entire village. Maybe we can meet better tenants in the future. It’s hard to say that the price will be raised on the ground. But it’s a little way to be dominated by that little **** Qin Sihai. nor.
Taking the silver right now means that I can no longer take care of the fish pond for ten years, which is distressing.
Chu Nanzhi noticed that he seemed a little unwilling, so he took out two hundred coins from the purse and handed it to Mrs. Su, and said with a gentle smile, "Auntie, my niece came here in a hurry today, and I didn't buy anything for the children. Gift, you take this money and save it to buy some pastries and sweets for your nephews."
"Then how?"
Su smiled embarrassingly, took the money, looked at Liu Chengming with a serious expression, and said angrily:
"You old thing, the money has been collected, and the papers have been signed. Who do you show this ugly face to? It doesn't matter who you rent the pool to. It's not from the village. If you rent it to others, they won't miss you. Well, I have given my niece such filial piety, and if I raise fish in the future, maybe I can give you a few fish to try."
"That's natural."
Chu Nanzhi said along the way: "When the fish are raised, the first thing I think of is honoring my uncle and aunt."
"It's enough for you, Nan Zhi, to have this kind of heart. My aunt is just joking with you."
Su said with a smile, and suddenly frowned again: "But Nan Zhi, don't think your aunt is nagging, whether it's raising fish or opening a restaurant, you'd better go talk to your aunt and cousin of the Qi family, If you are wronged, just suffer a little bit, who is rich and powerful?"
"Well, I will consider my aunt's words."
Chu Nanzhi replied perfunctorily, pulled Erbao and gestured to Liu Shuyang, ready to leave: "Uncle, aunt, I will go back first, the children are still waiting at home."
"It's all at her grandma's house."
Seeing the lovely and charming Er Bao, Su hurriedly picked out some of the largest peaches from the fruit plate, wrapped them up, and handed them to Chu Nanzhi eagerly: "You can come here as soon as you come, and give my aunt so much money, I'm sorry, but you bring these peaches home for the little treasures to try out, they were all picked by your uncle from the tree today."
"Okay, then I will not be polite."
Chu Nanzhi happily took Tao Zi, and said to Er Bao, "Thank you, uncle."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Er Bao took the words obediently.
"So good."
Looking at such a clever little girl, Su was very envious. Her two grandsons were mischievous all day long in the private school, which was not at all worrying.
Still other people's children are well-behaved.
Chu Nanzhi put away the contract, looked at Liu Chengming again, and smiled: "Uncle, niece is going back now."
Liu Chengming narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment, looked at the money in Su's hand, and finally nodded firmly: "Niece, you can raise fish at ease, uncle can't guarantee anything else, but as long as Qin Yuhai dares to make trouble , Uncle must be facing you."
"My niece can feel at ease with uncle's words."
Chu Nanzhi's heart suddenly became much brighter.
