In the end, Tong Huaqiong bought Ma Huateng's shop for one hundred and eighty taels.
Ma Huateng brought the deed, paper, and ink with him. He laid them out and started writing. After finishing, both parties would have to go to the government to finalize the process by signing and sealing.
After Ma Huateng finished writing the contract, Tong Huaqiong signed and said, "Well, Little Ma, Aunt Tong doesn't have that much Silver. I can only come up with one hundred taels right now."
Ma Huateng: "..."
So you don't have money and want something for nothing.
How did he fall for it?
Tong Huaqiong remained calm and said, "Little Ma, do you think I hired you to be the accountant in the shop just because I have enough Silver?"
Ma Huateng couldn't wrap his head around it. He didn't understand the logic of Aunt Tong owing money and still wanting him to work for her.
So he not only had to let her owe him for the shop but also be grateful for the employment she offered.
