On the 20th day of the first lunar month, just as the sky was dawn, the door of the Zhuque family was knocked loudly. Ada and A Er had also returned. When they opened the door, they saw an old man in his fifties standing outside the door with a bag on his back and covered in mud.

The person who came rushed in directly, and Ada and Aji didn't pay attention. The person had already entered the yard and shouted loudly as he walked.

"Not good, no good, the shop has been taken away!"

When Zhuque heard the shouting, he came out of the house and met the old man in front of him.

When the old man saw Zhuque, he urged him anxiously.

"Go, go and invite the master. It's amazing, something big is going to happen!"

Zhuque was stunned. The old man who had never been masked regarded himself as a servant. What big thing was going to happen? What big thing was so urgent?

Zhuque let the old man into the living room, and when he saw that the old man had to urge him again, he responded slowly.

"This old man, my name is Zhuque, and he is the owner of this yard. If you have any problems, just say slowly, and you will no longer be anxious for this moment."

"No hurry? I'm still angry? Wait, do you think you are the owner of this yard?"

The old man first fought back like a burning butt, and then looked at Zhuque in confusion.

At this time, Ada and A Er also followed in and held the old man left and right.

"Girl, this crazy old man is not doing anything, are you? Let's throw him out now."

At this time, the old man also reacted, broke free from the control of Ada and A Er, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, burst into tears.

"Girl, think of a solution, our shop will be gone, that's half my life's hard work."

Until now, Zhuque has obtained a useful message. Shop? Could it be that shop in Linshan City? Could this old man be the shopkeeper who looks at the shop?

Zhuque helped the old man up, arranged him to sit on a chair, and ordered Ada to take a wet towel and hand it to the old man.

The old man wiped his face randomly, with sobs in his voice.

"Girl, please forgive me for being rude. I didn't know it was you before. I am the shopkeeper of Linshan City Shop. My name is Hua Henduo. I have been working in the shop since I was in my twenties. Thanks to Lord Zhu Ba's attention, this shopkeeper has been working for more than 20 years. This shop is all my efforts! At the beginning, I started with a friend..."

The old man kept talking, and from the beginning to the shop to talk about things, he counted the big and small things. Zhuque listened patiently, brewed tea for the old man and poured water several times. It was almost noon that he had just become the shopkeeper.

Zhuque couldn't bear it anymore, so he interrupted Hua Henduo and made a suggestion.

"Mr. Hua, you must be tired from coming overnight. You don't want to go and take a break first. I'll make lunch for you. Let's continue talking after you finish your meal?"

"Yeah, I'm really sleepy. My old bones are not as good as before. Thank you girl, then, I'll go and rest first?"

Zhuque asked Ada to take Huahenduo to rest, and felt helpless. This old man was really interesting. He was more anxious than anyone else when he entered the door, but when he sat down, he just mentioned the past of the old sesame seeds and scattered grains, completely forgetting the purpose of the visit. Anyway, there is no hurry for a while, let's cook first.

The Zhuque prepared lunch very richly. A plate of peanuts, a plate of vinegar and cabbage, a plate of stir-fried chicks, a pot of sour and sour egg soup, and more steamed buns were prepared.

Hua Henduo was surprised by this meal. He praised Zhuque's cooking skills while eating. Until Hua Henduo only burped, he stopped, but ate four steamed buns, which surprised Zhuque and Ada.

After eating and drinking, Hua Henduo's mind became much clearer and he no longer continued to talk to the past.

"Girl, you don't know, this shop is in trouble..."

As Hua Henduo's story was told, things became clearer little by little.

Zhu Ba took his son to Linshan City for medical treatment. He searched for famous doctors but was not cured. He borrowed some people from the Zhu clan members in the city, saying that he would take revenge. Who knew that in the end, Zhu Ba was the only one who went back. After returning, he went to find Hua Henduo to get rid of the captain and asked him to help deal with the property as soon as possible.

These Zhuque knew more about it than Hua Henduo, and they knew better the reason. After Zhu Ba discovered the treasure, he wanted to take it alone, so he found the captain and entrusted him to sell the property as soon as possible, and handed over all the property deeds and land deeds to him with full authority. Then, he took the jade ring from Zhu Ruoyu's family, intending to take some of the gold bricks away from another place and come back in the future.

Zhuque was not clear about what happened next. Hua Henduo took a lot of effort to explain it clearly.

It turned out that after Zhu Ba left, the Zhu clan members came to find Zhu Ba. Zhu Ba's family lived in a shop. When Zhu Ba left, he made an appointment with his family to meet him in another place. So when Zhu clan members arrived, Zhu Ba's family was packing up their things. When he learned that Zhu Ba was not there, he immediately left Zhu Ba's family. He said that it was Zhu Ba's promised benefits and the people he lent out, and asked Zhu Ba's family to stay as hostages.

Zhu Ba's family is not many, only one wife and son. Although his son Zhu Xiaotian became a fake eunuch, his injuries were almost healed. His wife is also a ruthless person, and he may know more clearly. Seeing that the Zhu clan members were not allowed to leave, they pretended to stay and privately prepared to leave at any time.

When Captain Jie brought back the silver liang to deal with the family property, Zhu Ba's wife was so angry that she looked at Jin Xing. She didn't expect that even the shop had only sold it for so little money. So she had a scheming and quietly sold the shop to the Mi Family Store opposite. Although there was no deed of a house deed, she wrote an agreement to sign and seal it. Then, she told the Zhu clan that she would leave the shop as collateral, and she and her children went to find Zhu Ba, but she took off her body and never saw any trace again.

The Zhu clan sent someone to stare at the shop and waited for a long time. However, Zhu Ba's family returned, so he drove Hua Henduo out and planned to occupy the shop. When the Mi family shop opposite saw him, he came to the door with the agreement written by Zhu Ba's wife and started arguing with the Zhu clan people, and no one allowed him to let anyone go. Hua Henduo saw that things were not good, and he couldn't bear to work hard for half his life. He found the head of the checkup and asked about the situation. He found out that the shop had been sold to Zhuque, so he rushed to inform him overnight.

It was clear that it was already evening. Zhuque felt the pain of his head rising, and he made supper in a hurry, ate with everyone, and then rested.

Zhuque needs time to calm down. She needs to think clearly about the whole story and think of a solution.

There was nothing to say all night. On the second day, Zhuque had already made up his mind and rushed to Linshan City with Hua Henduo. Considering that after this trip, it would take a long time to calm down the matter. Before leaving, he summoned Zhu Dalong and other tenants and explained it carefully.

After the Spring Festival, the weather showed signs of warming up. The snow on the road gradually melted and became even muddy. Zhuque and Hua Henduo hired a carriage and rushed to Linshan City staggeringly.
