Chapter 111.1: 交代
[Explanation / to Justify]
Chen Xing was a bit shocked by Gu Lang’s words, because of the events in the past few days, he had already forgotten almost everything he had said in the previous period of time, and he didn’t realize that Gu Lang had given him something so unexpected, which made him unable to react in a moment.
“What?” Gu Lang saw that Chen Xing was only staring at the box stupidly, looking up at himself from time to time, a little bit of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Chen Xing pointed at the things in the box, his tone was full of uncertainty, “Are these all for me?”
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s appearance, gently smiled. Inside that smile, there is pampering in it. He placed the box over, and then took out the things inside; one by one and put it in front of Chen Xing, to explain to him what the things inside were.
“This is the deed of the shop we rent now. From now on, it’s already our own, right in a few days, we will take time to go to the government office, we are going to get back the rental fee we gave before.”
Chen Xing barely recovered his state of mind, looking at the land deed, somewhat hesitated as he said: “We can get back the rental fee?” After all, the money is in the hands of Old Master Chen, he felt that no matter what, it’s not possible to get it back so easily, right?
Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that his eyes were full of entanglement. He seemed to be somehow worried. Suddenly, as if ‘when good fortune comes the mind works well’ and he thought of something. He rushed to Chen Xing, smiled and faintly said: “Of course, this is originally my family’s property, so naturally there is no reason to hand over the money to Chen Family.”
After hearing this, Chen Xing was still having difficulty believing in it, and muttered in a low voice, “But these things have entered the Chen family’s pocket, so are they willing to spit it out?”
Hearing this, Gu Lang suddenly laughed, his smile was even bigger than just now, and immediately interjected, “Naturally, you don’t have to worry, these Yamen officers will help, we just need to wait for the time to go over and get the money.”
Hearing this, Chen Xing’s eyes immediately widened, his speech somewhat stuttering up, “This, the government still cares about this?”
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s eyes slightly widened, revealing an unbelievable expression. He felt him a bit cute, could not help but nod along, then explained, “Yes, still.”
“God, this is also too responsible.” Chen Xing felt that the government officers here, not at all like the one he saw on TV, were mediocre and incompetent, on the contrary, they also did a lot of practical things, which made him feel extraordinarily good.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing ‘emotionally moved’, did not explain to him, the reason why the government officers are so positive, is entirely because the county magistrate wants to make friends with him. If not because of this, he is afraid that even if the Chen family is willing to spit out this amount of money, ultimately the money will not reach their hands.
Just these, Gu Lang thought there was no need to explain it too much to Chen Xing. He looked down at the wooden box, raised his hand and took out the other two deeds,
“This is the wine shop’s deed, the area is one-third bigger than our present small restaurant. When the time comes, choose a reliable person and exchange it to your fruit wine to sell it there. This is the land deed of a restaurant, although the area is not big, but the location is also very good, then you can go and take a look. What do you want to do, we can let them change (renovate) it.”
Chen Xing looked at the way Gu Lang was talking non-stop; pretending to be serious. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
Only to see Gu Lang also took out the two small books in the wooden box, he handed one with the blue cover over to Chen Xing, “This is the family’s expenditure, basically it can be equal to my income.”
Looking at the book, Chen Xing somehow wants to see it, just because Gu Lang is still in front of him, so there are still some hesitations.
Gu Lang was the first to discover his small action, not too concerned as he said: “You want to see it, then see it, since all of these are going to be handed over to you.”
