The history of the Hua family in Fanhua Town is long enough. The last two generations of the Hua family’s daughter-in-law are also among the best in Fanhua Town. It can be said that as long as the mother-in-law of the Hua family and the daughter-in-law of the flower family like it, it will definitely be good. Including one mu of homestead and two mu of fertile fertile land where the Hua family lives today.
The original old house of the Hua family is in the northwest corner of Fanhua Town, a small courtyard with only two main rooms and one side room. At that time, Hua Xiangyin, the grandfather of the Hua family, had two sons and two daughters. Hua Xiangyin's mother-in-law died in childbirth when she gave birth to her youngest son, Hua Kang. Hua Xiangyin is both a father and a mother. Relying on his skilled carpentry work, he has grown a few radishes, and has saved a lot of money in his hand, planning to use his two sons to beg their wives.
The two daughters are only 2 years apart in age. The older daughter was 15 years old and the younger daughter was 13 years old when they were married early. At the same time, they married a pair of twin brothers in Luoshui Town. Now they are living well and happily.
It is said that Hua Xiangyin booked a marriage for his eldest son, Mrs. Liu, the daughter of Liu Laosan, who also works as a carpenter in Luoshui Town. It's just that Liu Shi didn't take long to pass the door, and he thought the house was too narrow. Taking advantage of his pregnancy, he used the pillow to blow air on his own man, and asked to expand the courtyard and move out.
At first, Hua Xiangyin was still unhappy. The second child hasn't married yet, so what kind of family is there! Saying it out would only make people laugh, but also said that he was an old man who couldn't tolerate other people's daughters-in-law. However, Liu's life and death were desperate, and he insisted on finding land for expansion. Hua Xiangyin has always been sincere, and she doesn't care about women in the same way, so she can only slap her thigh, and if it is done, make up a tael of silver for your husband and wife, and you can go out and settle down as you like.
Liu is a shrewd person. With these two silvers, he just won an acre of spare land with the best view in the east of Fanhua Town as the homestead for their new house. The dry land was replaced by two acres of paddy fields in the east and south.
Sun Youmao, who manages the household registration and residence in Fanhua Town, has been paying attention to the mother-in-law of the Hua family since then. Whenever she came to his place to inquire about the plot of land, he would first pretend to be deaf and mute and pretend he didn't know, then turn around and wait for her to leave, then study it carefully, and when it was fully understood, the flower mother-in-law came to the door again. , he also knew it in his mind, and he would never be entangled in her trap like when she first asked herself to buy a homestead many years ago.
Sun Youmao was rectified by the mother-in-law of the Hua family to the point that he almost lived out the allusion of "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of grass ropes".
Besides, after Liu Shi and Hua An, the eldest son of the Hua family, established their own businesses, their childhood has indeed become prosperous year by year. The stomach is also very good, and it took two years to give birth to a baby, and three in a row, until her uncle Hua Kang was an apprentice in Fanluocheng and was spotted by a rich lady. , passed away within half a year, and being pregnant during the period of wearing linen and filial piety is like being unfilial. Therefore, Liu Shi simply got ligated, and the fertility road has come to an end.
As soon as the period of filial piety expired, the Liu family sold the old house of the Hua family, saying that Huakang had changed his surname to Lu, and the money for the house was naturally lost to him. Save it for the three sons to seek wives.
Finally, I was looking forward to the marriage of my eldest son. Who would have known that he would be more shrewd and calculated than me? Liu Shi is like a dumb person eating Huanglian. The eldest daughter-in-law did not push the eldest son to set up a business on his own, but just like her mother's elder sister, her mind was too lively. In the past two years, she followed her elder sister to a house in Fanluo City, and she just seized the opportunity to persuade her. The whole family moved to live in the city. The words are very pleasant to say, saying that when your parents are old, they will not be able to do the work in the fields sooner or later, so it is better to move to the city and enjoy the happiness.
Of course, Mrs. Liu knew her purpose. The eldest son rented a stall in Fanluo City to sell groceries. Every morning when the chicken crows, I have to go out, and I don't return home until the night dew is heavy. In case of bad weather on a rainy or snowy day, you have to spend dozens of coppers staying at the inn for a night. Therefore, the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law had long been secretly planning to move the family to Fanluo City. At that time, I will simply buy another small shop, and I will be able to leave the field and become a veritable city dweller.
Going to settle in the city, who doesn't listen to it? But you have to have money. The eldest son and his wife were reluctant to release the money easily, saying they were saving it to buy a shop in the future. Knowing that Liu Shi had the money from the sale of the old house, he was still chasing the two younger brothers all day long to live in the city.
Liu's is in a dilemma. The silver taels she has saved are indeed a lot, but this is compared to Fanhua Town. If she buys a house in Fanluo City, it is still not enough. So the eldest son foolishly obeyed his wife and proposed to sell the house.
Alas, my mother is really a prodigal. She was so young that she didn't know how to work hard like his father, and she just wanted to enjoy it. Liu scolded the eldest son and daughter-in-law in his heart, but he still couldn't resist the two little ones nagging all day. In the end, it was because Liu Shi had money in her hand, so, listen and listen, slowly, she also had such thoughts. Now that the eldest daughter-in-law has agreed that the money will be handed over within two months, the house is still theirs. After two months, I can't help it, and people will look for another buyer.
Two months, fifty-six taels! my mother! Thinking of her, Liu's family had spent half her life digging east and west, and finally managed to save 36 taels of silver, including the 12 taels from the sale of the Hua Family's old house and two mu of dry land. Fortunately, she still smugly thinks she is the richest person in Fanhua Town. Who knows, once in the city, a small house that is said to only have only one entry can't afford to buy it!
Although the house where this family lives now is a bit old, it still has three main rooms, two wing rooms, two side rooms, and a spacious orthodox courtyard in front of and behind the house.
Liu Shi gritted his teeth and set a price that was only high but not low—forty taels. Thinking of selling the house, not only enough to buy the house in the city, but also to save some wife's books for the two young ones. From now on, they are all people in the city, and the daughter-in-law whom they are asking for is naturally a lady in the city, and the wife can only be more or less.
It's just that the villagers in this flower town have their own yards. Even if the son wants to marry a wife and want to expand and buy a house, he is reluctant to spend such a large sum of money to buy the old house of the Hua family. Outside Fanhua Town, even if there are a few wealthy people who want to buy property, they don't even know about it because of the lack of information.
So when the mother-in-law of the Lao family found out about this matter, Mrs. Liu heard something: Someone in the Lao family wanted to buy their own house. So, grabbing the golden opportunity in front of me, I was stunned to boast that my house was the only one on the ground. Of course, forty taels of silver was not a lot of money.

"So, does the Hua family really want to sell it?" Su Shuilin raised the corner of his mouth happily when he heard that Aunt Lao had finished talking about the situation. He could finally have a home of his own, and he must succeed.
"I heard from the mother-in-law of the Hua family, forty taels is not less than a copper." Aunt Lao sighed, forty taels, thinking that my family is busy throughout the year, and I need to save money and save money. For five or six taels of silver, that Hua family's mother-in-law is really ruthless, such an old house, to hold on to forty taels and not let go, it is no different from stealing money. No matter how good the location of the house is and how convenient it is from the fertile fields, it is not worth the price!
For a moment, Aunt Lao wanted to tell Su Shuilin, or else we could sell our house in half to you. But on second thought, if this is sold for twenty taels of silver, where will my family live? Can't find a house yet. So, she automatically killed this unreliable sign.
"Aunt Lao, please take us for a visit. The specifics will be discussed when we look at this house." Su Shuilin also felt that the price was expensive. After all, the cheapest one in Fanluo City was only fifty or sixty taels. , but the better thing is that there are still two acres of fertile land. If the house is really as good as Aunt Lao said, she has really considered buying it. So, I took Aunt Lao and wanted to go to Hua's house to implement it on the spot.
Lin Siyao followed Su Shuilin out of the Lao's yard without saying a word. The two wolf cubs who were squatting at the door of the yard were bored when they saw their master came out, they quickly followed, and arrogantly walked towards their future lives. territory.
