C753 Sad Without Money (1/2)
”Greetings to Master Feng …” At the door, a man dressed in grey with a whip wrapped around his neck greeted Feng Fu with a smile.
”Oh, it's big brother Liu. It's so late and you're still waiting. I'm so sorry …”
”Look at what you're saying, isn't it possible for the Lord to call us vile people over? Furthermore, since you, the God of Fortune, are visiting today, this is a time when wealth is flourishing. If this little one doesn't come and touch it, then wouldn't that be a loss … ”
Feng Fu almost wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he so cheap in the morning, once he heard that the imperial government was going to give him a salary, he would ask the landlord to come and wait for him at night.
von Hanlin smiled bitterly with a red face. ”This … This... This Brother Liu, don't you think we should slow down a bit more? ”
”What?” Slow down! Oh my god, you don't have to be so playful with people, who in the city doesn't know that the Department of Revenue will give out a salary today? Based on your identity, I have already found out about it. Do you still owe me this small amount of money? My family must also buy rice for dinner! ”
”Wait …” A thought suddenly flashed through Landlord Liu's mind like a flash of lightning, ”Oh my god, could it be …” ”My lord, could it be that you …”
Seeing von Hanlin's flushed face and nodding his head, the landlord immediately exploded. He took off all his masks, jumped and cursed at the top of his lungs.
”Alright, you are also a big shot who has read books. What a great authority! You even tore up the money … People from the neighborhood came out to see him as a fool … von Hanlin is the group of people who are tearing the money!
”Did you go silly reading?” When I heard this afternoon's joke from the Ministry of Revenue, I was even happy for a long time. I thought that you, a dignified Han Lin, who just came out with such a proper imperial examinations, would not be that stupid, but in the end, you are just such a fool! ”
”The officials that have donated their money are all better than you. All of them have brains …” What kind of bad luck is this? I'll let you the house! ”30 taels. You already owe me 30 taels. If I don't pay you back now, I won't be able to live any longer. If you force me to die, I'll pull you down …”
”You with the surname Feng, remember this clearly. If you don't give me the money within three days, I will throw all your things on the streets …” I, I, I'll go to Hanlin House and sue you. I don't believe that you aren't afraid of losing face … ”
Feng Fu knew that none of the neighbors could possibly sleep at this point, but they knew that he was Han Lin, an official who wanted face. Hence, they did not come out to watch the show, but he knew that all the neighbors were listening quietly, and would not be able to help if they wanted to.
”Brother Liu, can you relax for a few more days?” ”The imperial government has already promised that it will definitely send us some money in one and a half months. When the time comes, I'll give you the money along with the interest …”
At this time, von Hanlin's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law also ran over. He looked at the landlord and said bitterly, ”Brother Liu, please be magnanimous for a few more days. The imperial government has said that they would definitely give it to you in the end …”
Feng Fu's six year old daughter also tactfully said, ”Uncle Liu, don't force my dad. I have osmanthus cake here, I haven't eaten it yet, so I'll give it to you first …”
”Fuck you …” Landlord Liu's lecherous aura burst out, with a slap he knocked the osmanthus cake onto the ground, ”The imperial government? They were still counting on the imperial government? Would the imperial government still have any money in the past decade? Every day we fight for our taxes, we owe you our salaries... Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? It wasn't easy to get you some money, but you still aren't accepting it. You're still waiting for another month and a half? ”
”Are you dumb, or am I? If the imperial government has the credibility, do I owe you this much money?” The salary from four years ago hadn't been fully opened yet, had it? ”You still believe in half a month? Dream on …”
