Chapter 198 Second-rater

 Gu Fei's eyes widened when he heard this, "What happened?"

Shopkeeper Wang sighed, "This old man Huang has a brother who is an idle second-rate man. When the two brothers separated, the front door of the house next door to Old Man Huang was given to him."

“This man is known as a scoundrel, and he likes gambling. Within a year, he took the store to the casino and lost everything.”

“Without the store, the scoundrels will have no source of money, so they will go to Old Man Huang to beg for money from time to time.”

“Old Man Huang paid off a lot of his gambling debts and provided him with food and drink every day. Who knew that one day this scoundrel stole Old Man Huang’s house deed and wanted to gamble again.”

“Fortunately, Old Man Huang found out about it. Old Man Huang was furious and beat his brother severely and took him to the Yamen to write a divorce document.”

"It was at this time that something happened to Huangtou's son, and the business stopped. This scoundrel used to go to the store to make trouble, and he always got a few dollars. The business stopped, and Old Man Huang himself was half dead. , The second-rate man didn’t get any money for half a year, and he couldn’t hold on anymore. Seeing that Old Man Huang rented out the store, he asked Old Man Huang for money again. "

“If Old Man Huang didn’t give it, the second-rate boy would go to the silk and satin shop to make trouble. The shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop was also tough and had someone beat the second-rate boy.”

"Who would have known that the next night, someone came into the silk and satin shop and scratched all the silk and satin worth dozens of taels of silver in the shop."

“The store suffered heavy losses. It is said that it lost thousands of taels of silver in just one operation.”

“The store owner sued the government, and the Yamen took the second-rate son away, but they couldn’t find any evidence against him. In the end, the matter had to be left alone.”

Gu Fei frowned upon hearing this, "This person is too bad."

“Who says it’s not the case!” said the shopkeeper after taking a sip of tea. “The shopkeeper could only admit that he was unlucky and did not dare to do business. Old Man Huang felt so sorry that he returned the whole year’s rent to the shopkeeper.”

"After that, the store remained empty for more than half a year. Then someone else rented the store and opened a restaurant this time."

“The scoundrel came to blackmail him every three days. The shopkeeper gave him a few copper coins at first. Later, the scoundrel kept asking for more and more, and the shopkeeper got tired of it and stopped giving it. Not long after, something happened again in the shop.”

“Several customers ate the food in the shop and almost lost their lives due to vomiting and diarrhea. They reported it to the government. The officials investigated and said that the food in the shop was laced with laxatives.”

“This shopkeeper is unjust. Who would put laxatives in his own food? But the government could not find any other evidence, so the shopkeeper was sentenced to pay a sum of money to those customers.”

Shopkeeper Wang shook his head, "The store didn't do anything anymore, and Old Man Huang refunded the rent to him."

“The store owner later found someone and beat the bad guy half to death, but so what, he still lost a lot of money.”

“Since then, Old Man Huang has not rented out the store, saying he wants to sell it.”

"As soon as these words were released, the second-rate man said that his eldest brother's family had become extinct, and this store would belong to him. If anyone dared to buy this store, he would burn it down."

 “Who dares to buy this?”

"Only a thief can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. Who knows that one day a mistake will be taken over by this scoundrel."

“So, the store is always empty.”

“After all, doing business is all about being friendly and making money. Who wants to get into this trouble? It’s not like there’s only one store.”

Gu Fei nodded, "So that's it."

She muttered, "Uncle Huang asked me to buy his shop for three thousand taels of silver yesterday."
