Chapter 147 Zhong Yunfeng's Conditions

The next morning, Ye Changyan felt the familiar sour feeling again, and Liang Jingcheng's koala was tightly around him again.

Ye Changyan's right arm and leg were once again numbed by Liang Jingcheng's clamp. Ye Changyan moved his neck slightly, and Liang Jingcheng's thick black hair came into view.

I don't know when Liang Jingcheng rested his head on his right arm again, curled up under his armpit, and slept soundly like a kitten.

Ye Changyan felt the familiar smell in his nostrils again. Before, Ye Changyan was wondering what kind of scented soap Liang Jingcheng used, but now his intuition told him that this familiar smell did not seem to be the smell of scented soap, because he had never smelled this fragrance anywhere else.

Just when Ye Changyan was feeling suspicious, a thought came to his mind: Could it be that this familiar and pleasant scent was Liang Jingcheng's unique body odor?

Ye Changyan tilted his head and sniffed it carefully. The scent seemed to have some kind of magic that made Ye Changyan a little fascinated. So he took a deep breath and greedily smelled the intoxicating fragrance.

Ye Changyan closed his eyes, greedily enjoying the comfort brought by breathing, his face full of intoxication. After a long time, he opened his eyes and saw Liang Jingcheng staring at him with his big eyes, with confusion on his face.

Ye Changyan's cheeks suddenly turned red and his ears felt a little hot, and then he heard Liang Jingcheng ask him with a puzzled look on his face.

"What are you doing?"

"Liang Shijiu, you've numbed my arms and legs again. I'm taking deep breaths to ease the discomfort."

Ye Changyan answered with a contradictory answer, pretending to be calm and twisting his neck continuously to show that he was stretching his muscles.

"Then why do you look so happy?"

Liang Jingcheng's words almost petrified Ye Changyan. Ye Changyan wondered, was my expression so exaggerated at that time?

"Liang Nineteen, you're awake, and you're still resting your head on my arm. Next time we sleep together, one of us should sleep at the head of the bed, and the other at the foot. Otherwise, it'll feel like you're possessed by a ghost every time."

As Ye Changyan spoke, he stretched out his left hand to move Liang Jingcheng's head which was resting on his right arm.

Liang Jingcheng then reluctantly moved his head to the pillow beside him, but as soon as he moved, the cold air penetrated into the quilt. Liang Jingcheng hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover his bare shoulders, leaving only the upper half of his face exposed.

"It's already bright and you haven't gotten up yet."

As Ye Changyan was about to get up, Liang Jingcheng pulled him back into bed, and then he heard Liang Jingcheng say.

"Take the clothes on the closet and cover them in the quilt. Wait until the clothes are warm before getting up."

Ye Changyan was a little amused, but he had to admit that this was a good idea.

After a long time, the two of them finally got dressed and walked out of the room. They saw hot porridge and steamed buns on the table in the main room.

After breakfast, Ye Changyan packed up the prepared wintersweet perfume and pure water, and Lu Tingfeng conveniently put them on the carriage.

After briefly speaking to their family, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng got on the carriage, and Lu Tingfeng drove the carriage towards the processing workshop.

Two days later, good news came from the county town. Tang Laizi, who had been in a coma for many days, finally woke up, which made everyone in the old house breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone in the old house went to find Ye Changyan again and asked him to go find the people from the county government. Since Tang Laizi had woken up, could they release Ye Xiaowu and Erlang?

Ye Changyan took Liu and Silang, and took the prepared gifts, and went to the courtyard next to Baotong Money House again.

Although Tang Laizi had woken up, he was still lying in bed with a thick gauze wrapped around his head.

Tang Laizi agreed to withdraw the lawsuit regarding the Ye family father and son's assault, but on the condition that the Ye family had to compensate him with one hundred taels first.

Firstly, Liu was unwilling to pay so much compensation, and secondly, she did not have that much money on hand. Without Tang Laizi's letter of forgiveness, there was naturally no way she could withdraw the lawsuit. The county government naturally refused to release him without Tang Laizi's request to withdraw the lawsuit, so the group returned empty-handed.

The most that the old house could come up with now was two hundred taels. Tang Laizi's appetite was too big. No one else in the old house was willing to compensate Tang Laizi with one hundred taels.

Although Liu was eager to save people, one hundred taels was not a small amount, and the debt of more than one thousand taels had not been settled yet. Even if she wanted to rescue her man and son, she could only choose to let them stay in the cell for a few more days in the face of reality.

As the repayment date was getting closer, there was still no news from Zhong Yunfeng in Yuzhou Prefecture, which made everyone in the old house a little anxious.

The people in the old house did not fully listen to Ye Changyan's words that day. They only remembered that Ye Chang promised to ask Zhong Yunfeng for help, but did not remember Ye Changyan's reminder that they should make preparations for both situations.

During these coldest days of winter, everyone in the old house hibernated at home and did not send anyone out to find ways to raise money.

It seems that they have placed all their hopes on Zhong Yunfeng. They may think that the more than one thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket for a boss like Zhong Yunfeng.

As the repayment date of the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month approached, everyone in the old house was anxiously waiting. On the afternoon of the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, news of Zhong Yunfeng finally came from Yuzhou City.

It turned out that in the past few days, Zhong Dingyi and his son Zhong Yunfeng went to Yizhou Prefecture, planning to take advantage of the period before the New Year to promote Weihaojia candy in the wealthy area of Yizhou Prefecture.

Zhong Yunfeng, who had just returned from Yizhou Prefecture yesterday, saw the letter sent by Ye Changyan, then he replied and handed the letter to the convoy that came to the processing workshop today.

When everyone in the old house learned that Zhong Yunfeng was delayed due to important matters, they were very understanding. Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone in the old house, Ye Changyan finally opened Zhong Yunfeng's reply letter.

Everyone in the old house stared at Ye Changyan intently. Ye Changyan quickly glanced at Zhong Yunfeng's reply, and his expression seemed to become serious. Then Ye Changyan said.

"Grandma, Mr. Zhong said in his letter that he could agree to help raise money."

When everyone in the old house heard this, they all showed happy expressions at the same time, as if the huge stone that had been hanging in their hearts for many days had finally fallen to the ground. An unprecedented sense of security made everyone in the old house breathe a sigh of relief.

But Ye Changyan's next words made the people in the old house feel relieved again.

"Boss Zhong said in the letter that personal relationships are personal relationships and business is business. He is willing to lend money for the sake of personal relationships, but Boss Zhong said that he is a businessman and the loan must be discussed based on business."

Everyone in the old house had a look of confusion on their faces. They all looked at Ye Changyan with some concern, and then heard the old lady ask.

"How does Mr. Zhong plan to negotiate this?"

Ye Changyan picked up the letter and looked at it, as if he wanted to confirm it again, before continuing.

"Boss Zhong said in the letter that the loan must be based on the market price. As a favor, he doesn't want 20% or 15% interest. He will just charge 10% interest, the lowest standard of the market price, with monthly compound interest, and can be repaid at any time."

When they heard the conditions proposed by Zhong Yunfeng, everyone in the old house was surprised.
