Transmigrated as A Farm Girl Making Her Family Rich

Chapter 367 Not Enough Money



The old housekeeper glanced at the Old Master and, after receiving a nod from him, he said:

"Apart from this property, we indeed have two shops, a warehouse, and an estate. The estate is in the suburbs, one of the shops is in a good location, and the other is a bit remote. The warehouse was originally for the shop.

We thought that after selling this house, I and the Old Master would still need to wait for someone to buy these properties before we could leave."

Hongji... are our funds enough?

Ye Shiqi... well, just as one is getting sleepy, someone offers a pillow, but... is the money she has sufficient?

"Grandpa, how much are these properties combined? Sell them to us at a lower price!"

"The two shops together are 5,000 taels, the estate and warehouse are another 2,000 taels, adding up to 10,000 taels including this house.

This is after already reducing 500 taels from the smaller amounts. If you want to buy, we can close the deal today and leave."

The crowd... was stunned.

Zhong Xingwang... So expensive!

Ye Shiqi... What if the money isn't enough? The grain could be sold for money, and the special products she brought could be sold as well, but there's no place to sell them yet.

There's a big shortfall in money, what to do?

Hongji... It's so expensive, let's just buy the house and not the other things!

If they bought more, the family would be in debt and might have to eat grass.

Mrs. Li... the money won't last, shall we not buy it then?

Ye Family's sisters... Why is it so expensive?

Li Zhihao... Looks like we can't afford it! Can't even buy the shops!

Zhong Xingwang... Is father-in-law really that rich?

Amid her family and grandfather's gaze, Ye Shiqi pondered for a moment. Thinking about the future, only the Jade Token given by Tang Shunyan might be useful, so she decided to try and see if she could find a bank.

"Grandpa, could you, my father, mother, and family please wait here for a while, as my brother-in-law tries to gather funds?"

The old housekeeper... The father-in-law is buying property and estate, yet the son-in-law needs to raise the funds? Which young master is this?

The old man... It seems the young lady is the decision maker. He wanted to see whether it would be her brother-in-law raising the funds or the young lady figuring out a way to raise money with people.

"Alright, go on, we're not in a hurry! Go ahead!"

Ye Shiqi waved to Zhong Xingwang and her Young Uncle, then turned to her worried family and said:

"Dad, Mom, you and my elder sister and brother chat with the grandfathers, and my little cousin should stay too."

Hongji... I too am quite curious to see how your youngest daughter performs!

"Go ahead, be quick and come back. If it doesn't work out, we'll just buy the house and not push for more!"

Ye Shiqi nodded; it's not as if she was going to sell grain. Besides, selling grain all at once couldn't raise such an amount of money.

"Yes, Daughter understands!"

Ye Shiqi, along with her future brother-in-law and Young Uncle, left the living room. She was taking her future brother-in-law because Zhong Xingwang was familiar with the Capital.

She brought along her Young Uncle, as he was reliable, and she would entrust some future matters to him. Now was a training period for him, keeping him by her side to familiarize him with the business.

Li Zhihao just followed his young niece, a bit cluelessly, as his grand ambitions had been somewhat quelled upon hearing how expensive buying the house and shops were.

Zhong Xingwang had known this younger aunt for several years and understood her astuteness. It seemed the parents were in charge, but after becoming familiar with their family, he discerned a bit that the real heads of the Ye family were not the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Even though his future wife was also a mere figurehead, he didn't mind. If his future wife were also so strong, he would have to crawl into a hole. He definitely didn't want to be a man kept by a woman.

The guards outside saw only a few of them coming out and were puzzled.

Ye Shiqi whispered something to Li Zhihao, then boarded the carriage she had ridden in before.

Li Zhihao instructed his niece's coachman to get ready to leave, then mounted a horse along with Zhong Xingwang to follow behind.

Zhong Xingwang had only called his guard, leaving the others behind to protect the master inside.

Ye Jiaxing... where were they going on this solitary journey?

During this process, Zhong Xingwang had already learned where they were going, the bank he knew, there was also one owned by the Tang Family in this luxurious area.

It wasn't far from this house, roughly one mile.

Ye Shiqi sat in the carriage, pondering if they really could borrow the money, the road ahead would be much easier, but if they couldn't borrow, they would have to buy the house first and make plans for the rest later.

This one-stop service was faster, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

The carriage soon stopped, Ye Shiqi looked out, and this too was a street in a luxurious area.

It seemed that every street in the Capital was bustling, the shops mentioned by the master of the house in the remote areas might not be remote at all, so there was a chance they might find a bargain.

A potential bargain indeed, an opportunity not to be missed.

Ye Shiqi, listening to the ten thousand taels sounding expensive, but he knew that in the Capital City, houses and lands were very pricey, buying so much for just ten thousand taels was like picking up cabbages.

Only those without money would find it expensive. What place is this? The Imperial Capital!

Ye Shiqi got off the carriage, flanked by Zhong Xingwang and Li Zhihao, entering a bank.

Zhong Xingwang's guard stayed at the entrance to watch the horses and the carriage.

The place was a bank with a large hall where customers could wait, equipped with chairs for sitting.

The first floor had several rooms, likely transaction rooms.

Then there were the second floors where VIPs must go to conduct transactions; the bank, besides dealing in loans and deposits, also accepted property mortgages.

There was a clear sign in the hall stating these services.

As they entered, someone came to greet them.

"Are you here to make a deposit, or to exchange currencies?"

Li Zhihao...

Zhong Xingwang...

Both men looked towards Ye Shiqi.

The attendant followed their gaze... this little girl is the client? Which family's darling beauty, so lovely, does she belong to?

Ye Shiqi... She couldn't say that she was there to borrow money, and the services she needed couldn't be discussed here, so she could only pull out the Jade Token from her space.

It looked like she was taking something from her pocket, but actually, it was the Jade Token she mentally summoned from space, which she flashed to the person greeting them.

The greeter... the little master?

"Please, follow me upstairs...!"

Ye Shiqi nodded, being the first to ascend the stairs, with Zhong Xingwang and Li Zhihao following behind her.

The greeter led them to a rather spacious VIP room on the second floor, asking them to take a seat while he fetched the manager.

Ye Shiqi nodded for him to go ahead, knowing that some matters this greeter perhaps couldn't decide on.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a mustache, along with that greeter, entered.

"Shopkeeper, this young lady has brought our family's Jade Token."

The greeter's introduction prompted the shopkeeper to look at the delicate little Lady seated there, a young miss appearing to be only about eight or nine years old.

They from the Tang Family are people of importance, yet he couldn't recall which master's daughter had come to the Imperial Capital.

With no one conveying any information, how then did this young lady come by the Jade Token?

Is it possible that it's a counterfeit?

"May I see the Jade Token?"
