Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 10: The exquisite heart!
Su Yun said indifferently: "The specific amount is more than 9,000 strings of cash. Before I came out, I took 5,000 strings of cash to buy 500 acres of land and donated it to the clan school as school land.

I have heard that Fan Wencheng prepared school land for the Fan family, and that the Fan family will produce many talented people in the future. Although I, Su Yun, am not talented, I also hope that the Meishan Su family will be able to produce many talented people.

I exchanged the rest for 2,000 strings of cash (2,000 guan) of gold and silver so that it would be easier to carry on the road, and I gave the rest to my former colleagues as severance pay.

After all the expenses along the way, there isn't much left. In addition to the twenty taels of gold in your hand, I still have twenty taels here."

Listening to Su Yun's story, Su Shi and Su Mai couldn't help but be moved.

One reason is that Su Yun actually earned a huge fortune of 10,000 strings of cash. He is wealthy, which means he is truly rich.

However, this was not the reason why Su Shi and his son were moved. What moved them was that Su Yun had been poor for so many years, but after becoming rich, he donated half of his clan's assets as school land without hesitation.

He used most of the money as severance pay for his partners, and only kept two thousand strings of cash for himself. These two thousand strings of cash were kept to repay the Su family!

It is difficult to describe the shock in Su Shi's heart. To be honest, he has met many people in his life, some of whom are particularly heroic and interesting, but no matter who they are, none of them is as free and easy as Su Yun when it comes to money.

He saw many good qualities in Su Yun, but the greatest good quality was that he was extremely grateful.

When his mother helped their family, Su Yun traveled thousands of miles to repay her kindness;

His family provided him with shelter and allowed him to go to school in the clan school. When he earned a little money, he used half of it to buy school land and donated it to the clan school. As for the fact that the clan withheld his rental income, he did not seem to care at all.

He also did not forget those guys who followed him in doing business. When they quit, he gave them more than half of the remaining money as severance pay to thank them for helping him build his business.

Some things sound simple but are difficult to do. It is especially difficult to give away good fortune. Giving money to others for nothing is a difficult thing in itself.

Su Shi didn't know whether Su Yun hesitated when he sent it out, or whether he would suffer from insomnia the night before, but he did it after all.

Su Shi was silent for a long time, then said, "Yun'er, you did a great job."

When Su Yun heard Su Shi's praise, he just smiled and said, "My father Yan and mother taught me a lot of principles, but the one about repaying kindness is probably the most important one. I will never forget it."

Su Shi said with emotion: "Brother Lin has brought up a good child."

Su Yun did not take Su Shi's praise seriously. Others were reluctant to give up money, but to him, money was the least worth cherishing thing.

He made up his mind to leave Meishan. He couldn't take so much money with him, so he simply donated it and divided it up in exchange for a good reputation, which actually maximized his profits.

Now seeing the performance of Su Shi and his son, he felt that his money was well spent.

In a blink of an eye, the donkey cart had arrived at the inn. Su Yun took the lead to check in the room, and then made an excuse to go out for a walk. When he came back, he brought back a lot of fresh food and wine, which were freshly cooked dishes such as chicken, duck, goose, fish, etc. ordered from a restaurant.

Su Shi said with some distress: "Now we don't have much money, so we need to be frugal." Su Yun smiled and said: "Uncle just came out of the Censorate, and he has been busy traveling all this time. It's not easy to take a break, so this is just the right time to welcome him."

Su Shi sighed with emotion again, while Zhu A Datian and Asan were cheering. They ate jerky and drank good wine along the way. Except for the fact that the journey was quite tiring, they felt very happy the rest of the time and thought it was a good job.

Oh, those punches from Su Yun were also quite painful, but the pain was fleeting, and the delicious food and wine were worth savoring.

The five people ate meat and drank wine in the inn. The sound of firecrackers outside bid farewell to the old year, which temporarily relieved Su Shi and his sons from their worries about the future. They talked and laughed happily, and were in great harmony.

In the next two days, Su Yun rushed to arrange meals. Although they were not as sumptuous as the first one, each meal was not bad. After all, there was meat, vegetables and wine. Su Shi was worried about money, but he also enjoyed the meals.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Su Shi set out for the Wen family. Wen Tong died of illness in Chenzhou at the beginning of last year. The whole family is now stranded in Chenzhou. Originally, the family lived in an official residence, but in order to make room for the new prefect, they moved to a private house temporarily.

When Su Shi came to visit, the entire Wen family came out to greet him.

When Su Shi saw that Wen Tong's wife, Li, looked much older than himself, he couldn't help but feel sad. He was saddened by the death of his good friend Wen Tong, but also felt ashamed that his friend had passed away and the whole family was stranded in Chenzhou, but he could not help at all.

Li was very grateful when he saw Su Shi, and thanked him again and again, which made Su Shi feel a little ashamed.

"Sister-in-law, please stop talking. Brother Wen is in trouble, but I can't help you at all. I feel so guilty. If you keep saying that, I will be ashamed."

Su Shi said with both shame and sadness.

Li held Su Shi's hand and said with emotion: "My husband has a cousin like my uncle and a friend like you. It is a blessing for him to have cultivated for a lifetime.

Uncle has fallen into such a situation, but he still cares about him so much. He sent a cart of New Year's goods on the night of the 30th, and also gave my family 40 taels of gold as expenses for the coffin. If anyone dares to say that you, uncle, have not taken care of the Wen family, I will spit at him in person!"

Su Shi exclaimed, then looked at Su Yun behind him, who smiled and nodded at him.

Su Shi felt both ashamed and relieved. He felt ashamed that he had not learned any worldly wisdom over the years, but he felt relieved that Su Yun was such a clever child.

Su Mai listened to what Li said. He understood what was going on and felt very ashamed.

However, Su Yun still didn't take it seriously. It was just a small habit of his. Before meeting someone, he would give a gift first. If this was done well, then no matter what purpose he wanted to achieve in this meeting, he would basically not be disappointed.

Naturally, there was no need to achieve any purpose in coming to the Wen family, but for Su Yun, it was just a casual thing to do. Buying some New Year's goods and giving two gold ingots casually, Su Shi would have made a great occasion and it was worth it.

Sometimes Su Yun always felt that his success was mainly due to luck, but he never thought that if it weren’t for his natural communication skills, he might not be able to seize the opportunity even if a huge pie fell on his head.

In fact, if a person has this ability to deal with people, then he will probably not be far from success.
