Trust but check. The promised three years are waiting, but the fourth is denied.

The Moscow merchant Bolshov is mired in debt. He would be happy to pay them, but then ruin is inevitable. And the shop and the goods it is a pity.
How can I contrive to save money in the family?

Kind people advised him to declare himself bankrupt, and to transfer the capital to the right person. For example, his assistant Podhalyuzin. Serves a long time, the master does not deceive, it's a sin.

So they decided. Podhaljuzinu go all the property Bolshova, and then he will help him pay off with creditors.

But Podhaljuzin decided to marry Lipochka, the daughter of a merchant. She had long been in the girls.

He bribed the matchmaker and sublegy so that they did not interfere with his wedding. He promised to thank him in a royal way.

Lypochka at first was capricious. She was dreaming of a rich and noble bridegroom. But you can not argue with your parents, and the groom has promised to buy fashionable clothes for her.

And it happened. The young people began to live in clover, only the old parents were forgotten. Help them not to wait.

How alien people are!
