Chapter 113: Sushi Garden was robbed
"Brother, sister-in-law, you came up and started swearing, have you figured out the situation?"
Shopkeeper Feng was so angry that he wanted to faint and never care about anything else.
"He owes a gambling debt, and it's one thousand taels. Even if I sell my house and land, I can't make up the difference."
"You said I didn't treat Feng Chuan as my own son. This simply hurts my heart. Ever since he followed me, I was afraid that he would be wronged and have some thoughts in my heart. I tried my best to be good to him and satisfy his wishes. I sent him to school, but he gave up after failing the examination for the title of Tongsheng several times. I asked him to learn a craft with me in the shop, but he thought it was too hard. After he grew up, I bought him a house and land, and helped him get married. I supported his whole family. You keep saying that I am not good to Feng Chuan, but can you do as much as I do to your eldest son?"
"Why did I go from Pingchuan to Yanguan Town? It's all because Feng Chuan is a gambler and owed gambling debts. I was forced to come here to pay him off. Over the years, I have helped him fill so many holes. Let Feng Chuan tell me if he doesn't live a good life and hangs out in the casino all day. I beat him and scolded him, but he just won't change. Now he owes one thousand taels of silver, and it's all his fault."
Shopkeeper Feng expressed his dissatisfaction with Feng Chuan to his elder brother and sister-in-law, and laid out all of Feng Chuan's actions over the years.
After hearing this, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Feng family did not intend to blame Feng Chuan at all.
They thought that the reason why Feng Chuan became like this was all due to Shopkeeper Feng. Why didn't their eldest son gamble? It was because Feng Chuan was brought out by Shopkeeper Feng that he got addicted to gambling.
The eldest brother of the Feng family said, "Since you treat Chuan'er as your own son, you should stop complaining. As the saying goes, if a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. The reason why Chuan'er has become like this is because you did not teach him well."
The eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family continued, "Not at all. It's just that you didn't teach your second brother well. You complain that you spent money on Chuan'er, but who wouldn't spend money on their son? You complained about paying Chuan'er five hundred taels of silver, but if it weren't for Chuan'er, how could you have the motivation to earn such a big fortune."
After hearing what his elder brother and sister-in-law said, Shopkeeper Feng was so angry that he wanted to kick them out.
In the minds of the eldest brother and his wife, all the mistakes were his. It was he who led their son astray and he did not care about their son's life or death.
Just because he can't give birth to a son, will he be controlled by his elder brother and sister-in-law forever?
"Second brother, all your property belongs to Chuan'er anyway. You can consider it as giving him the property in advance by paying him one thousand taels. We are all one family, and the meat is rotten in the pot. You can't just ignore him. He will continue the incense for you. If you don't ignore him, return Chuan'er and the grandson to our first wife, and let your daughter continue the incense for you." Seeing that Manager Feng looked dissatisfied, the eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family continued to poke Manager Feng's heart.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family thought, it’s his fault for not having a son.
Since you have taken her son, you have to make plans for him.
Shopkeeper Feng was scolded by his elder brother and his wife. He got angry and said, "I'm not dead yet. You want to take all my property now? Dream on!"
My eldest brother and his wife clearly have the look of wanting to wipe out the whole family.
"You make it sound easy. I can tell you that I can't come up with one thousand taels of silver right now. Since you are here today to help my son, I can't just think of a solution by myself. You should also think of a way to raise as much as you can by selling your house, land, and food. There are still three days left, so let's hurry up."
Shopkeeper Feng proposed a solution to his elder brother and his wife.
My eldest brother and his wife didn't say anything, so it was impossible to ask them to sell the house and land. They were not like Manager Feng who could make money by being a manager.
Only those who work in the fields can earn some money.
"Whether we can collect the money in three days depends on Feng Chuan's luck. You guys go back first, I won't keep any food for you." Shopkeeper Feng ordered his brother and sister-in-law to leave.
Feng Chuan came out of Shopkeeper Feng's house with his biological parents, feeling even more resentful.
"As expected, he is not my biological son. I don't think my second brother is anxious at all."
As soon as she went out, Feng's eldest sister-in-law pouted and complained.
"Chuan'er, don't say that your parents don't care about you. Even if they don't care about you, I'm here to help you. You have been your second uncle's son since you were adopted, and your second uncle should take care of you. My family is poor and can't afford to pay a few taels of silver, but don't worry, I will come to force him every day for the next three days until he pays the silver. As your biological father, I can't just watch your hand being cut off." The eldest brother of the Feng family said to his biological son Feng Chuan.
Although he didn't want to see his own son's hand chopped off, he couldn't help pay the money.
Anyway, this son was not the eldest son's, he already had other sons.
However, I can still help my son to put pressure on my younger brother.
Feng Chuan was about to say something when he suddenly turned around and saw Gu Dashu smiling at him in the crowd. He was so scared that his whole body shuddered and his right palm felt a slight pain.
Gu Dashu has torn off his flattering face these days and has been very harsh on him. He now has PTSD towards people of Gu Dashu's size.
Feng Chuan pulled his parents to the alley next to him, fearing that they would be blocked by Gu Dashu.
"Mom and Dad, if my second uncle won't help me pay back the money, I will find a way myself," said Feng Chuan.
"What do you have in mind?" asked the eldest brother of the Feng family.
"The owner of Sushiyuan handed over the entire Sushiyuan to my second uncle. I went to my second uncle's store before and saw that he was in charge of the land deeds and silver." Feng Chuan said.
"Does that mean you can get it?" asked the eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family.
"Yes. Since he is unkind, you can't blame me for being unjust." Feng Chuan had a sinister look on his face.
"Okay, let's go get it." The eldest brother of the Feng family urged anxiously.
In short, compared with the future of Manager Feng, the eldest brother of the Feng family felt that his son's life was more important.
It was not their fault that they instigated their son to take the title deed and silver of Sushi Garden, but it was the second brother who was unwilling to take the silver.
Feng Chuan brought his parents to Sushiyuan. The staff of Sushiyuan were very familiar with Feng Chuan. Usually, many staff fawned on Feng Chuan in order to please Feng. When they saw him coming to the shop, they told them that Feng was not in the shop. Feng Chuan told the staff that Feng had asked him to come and help Feng get something.
In addition, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Feng family would appear in the Sushi Garden from time to time, so the waiter did not become suspicious and let them in.
Feng Chuan and his parents came to Shopkeeper Feng's workshop as if they were familiar with the place, and then closed the door.
The three men opened the drawers on Manager Feng's desk one by one. As soon as they opened the second drawer, they saw the shop deed, banknotes, account books, and of course the seal.
"Why is there only five hundred taels?" said the eldest brother of the Feng family, picking up the banknote.
"Dad, the banknotes are not important. Don't we have the deed to the shop? This shop is worth more than one thousand taels." Feng Chuan's hands were shaking as he held the deed.
Since his second uncle treated him like this, he would destroy everything his second uncle had and make him regret it.
He wanted to sell the shop to Gu Dashu for one thousand taels.
"Any shop or banknote will do, as long as it can save your life." said the eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family.
Feng Chuan put the title deed and the seal in his arms.
"Dad, why do you still take the banknotes when you already have the land deed?" asked the eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family.
"I got angry when I saw the second son's house today. I was angry that his parents were partial to him and made him learn to read and do a craft. He's enjoying a good life here, while I'm farming at home. He owes me this money."
The eldest brother of the Feng family put the banknotes in his arms.
"You have already taken the land deed, and we will be in trouble if your second uncle finds out. We might as well take the banknotes as well." The eldest sister-in-law of the Feng family said righteously.
Feng Chuan nodded, thinking that what his parents said was correct.
The three men ran away grabbing the land deeds and silver bills.
When Shopkeeper Feng was so angry that he smashed the teacup at home, he didn't know that the Su Shi Yuan he served had been stolen.
