Chapter 484: True Enemies

Three days later, Zhang Wuchang went to Lin’s medicine hall as promised and paid a thousand taels of silver in advance. However, he also looked haggard and in low spirits.

Zhang Wuchang stood in front of the counter and said to Lin Yuelan’s newly hired shopkeeper, “Shopkeeper Li, this is my 1000 taels. When will your young miss come? ”

In the past three days, he had made a very difficult choice and finally decided to sell Xiangyun pavilion. Otherwise, with their current savings, they simply wouldn’t be able to afford the medical fees.

Moreover, he had looked down on others in the past and offended many people. Not many people wanted to lend him money.

He had no choice but to sell his property.

He had two properties. One was his ancestral home, and the other was his shop, Xiangyun pavilion.

Without a doubt, the ancestral home could not be sold at the moment, so the only place that could be sold was Xiangyun pavilion.

However, due to the appearance of Li Huaisheng’s shop, anyone who wanted to buy Xiangyun pavilion would have to compete with Linyue pavilion. However, at this moment, it was obvious that no matter who bought Xiangyun pavilion, it would be a loss.

That was because no one was confident that they could compete with Linyue pavilion after taking over Xiangyun pavilion.

Since Li Huaisheng’s shop reopened, he had almost monopolized the clothing market of the rich and powerful people in the middle and upper cla.s.ses. Even the poor farmers in the lower cla.s.ses gritted their teeth and took out part of their savings to buy a piece of clothing for themselves so that they could wear it during the new year and festival when they visited their relatives.

For these poor people, it was already amazing if they could buy clothes once a year.

Therefore, it was clear that it would be very difficult for Zhang Wuchang to find someone who could offer a high price to buy his shop.

Two days after he put up the signboard, people came to ask about it one after another, but they all lowered the price very low. Everyone knew that Zhang Wuchang needed the money to treat his son’s illness, so he was forced to sell the shop in an emergency.

These people were businessmen. How could they care if Zhang Wuchang was in urgent need of money to save his son’s life? They only knew how to lower the price.

If he did not reach his expected price, even if he sold it, he would not be able to gather 1000 taels of silver. No matter how anxious Zhang Wuchang was, he could only hold back his temper and wait for someone to raise the price.

Two days pa.s.sed, and fewer and fewer people came to ask about the shop.

However, on the third day, Li Huaisheng came to visit.

As soon as he saw Li Huaisheng, Zhang Wuchang’s face immediately darkened. He shouted, “What are you doing here?”

He had once suppressed Li Huaisheng’s Jinyun pavilion, blocked his source of supply, bribed or threatened his sewing masters and embroiderers, and so on. A series of means almost made Li Huaisheng unable to continue running his business, and he was also faced with the dilemma of having to sell his shop.

Therefore, he didn’t think that Li Huaisheng would have any good intentions toward him, his compet.i.tor.

Li Huaisheng didn’t beat around the bush and said, “I’m here to buy your shop, of course. ”

Zhang Wuchang thought that Li Huaisheng was here to make a fool of him, so he refused without thinking, “I’m not selling! I know you’re here to laugh at me.”

When Li Huaisheng saw his hostile att.i.tude, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he laughed and asked, “Zhang Wuchang, is this how a father should act?”

Zhang Wuchang quickly reacted and immediately shouted angrily, “Li Huaisheng, it’s none of your business how I’m going to be a father. Get lost!” Li Huaisheng was accusing him of not being qualified as a father, which must have made him angry.

Today, Li Huaisheng came over with a quest. How could he just leave after being scolded by Zhang Wuchang?

Li Huaisheng criticized him in a sharp voice, “As a father, you know that your son needs money for an emergency. But you’ve waited for two days because you can’t get a high enough offer. However, on the third day, because of the past grudges, you are actually trying to drive away your most promising customer.”
