"Miss, we still have a house for sale..."
Yes, there is another house for sale. Although Chen Chong did not dare to exceed the regulations and bought only a two-story house, the location is quite good and it should be able to be sold for eight or nine hundred taels. With the Hua family's current frugal spending, it will be enough to last until she recovers her costs.
"Chen Liang, you go and do this."
Although Chen Liang had guessed the young lady's plan, he couldn't help but ask one more question when he was really ordered, "Young lady, do you want to buy all 25 shops?"
"Yes, buy them all."
After receiving a positive answer, Chen Liang said no more and left.
First there were Xu Jie, Zuo Fei, and Liu Yueming, and later there was Chen Liang. Hua Zhi felt that the Hua family had quite a few people to use, and this was one of the family's foundations.
Liu Xiang walked in so fast that if Chen Liang hadn't dodged quickly, they would have bumped into each other. "Miss, the old lady of the Zhu family is here."
Hua Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, and the slight annoyance in her heart disappeared, "Did he go to my mother's room or my grandmother's room?"
"No, I'm coming this way. I'll be there soon."
Hua Zhi was really surprised this time, and quickly stood up to greet them. Only true relatives would be willing to come to visit at this time.
Before leaving the yard, I saw Old Mrs. Zhu coming in from the gate, walking with great vigor.
"Zhi'er has met grandma. Good morning, grandma."
Old Madam Zhu took a few quick steps to help the child up and looked at this child who usually did not strike her as any different.
There is indeed some difference. There is a sharpness in his eyes and his expression is far from the non-competitive look before. There is some determination in his expression.
Perhaps this is the true face of this child, but when the Hua family was doing well she was unwilling to show this side of her, but now she has no choice.
Holding her arm affectionately, Old Madam Zhu suppressed her sigh in her heart, and the grandmother and granddaughter walked into the house together.
Yingchun served tea and then left with the maids.
Glancing around the room, Old Madam Zhu asked in a low voice, "Are we going to handle this right here?"
Hua Zhi didn't ask what her grandmother knew, but just nodded.
"Your mother can't take care of anything. Thank you for your hard work."
"You don't have to feel sorry for not teaching me well." Hua Zhi smiled faintly, "Everyone has their own destiny. I am lucky enough not to have to worry about trivial matters."
"Yes, it's her blessing." She was protected by her parents and brothers in her natal family, and spoiled by her husband in her husband's family, and she never suffered any hardship. Now that her husband, the support he has, has fallen, she has a capable daughter to take on the responsibilities for her. She has obtained everything that all women in the world want. If this isn't a blessing, then what else can it be
Old Madam Zhu sighed in her heart once again, thinking that her granddaughter had suffered so much.
"I'm here to tell your grandfather that he has sent someone to invite a teacher. Although that person is not well-known, your grandfather said that his skills are real and are no worse than those with a good reputation. However, he has been traveling abroad for many years, so I'm afraid it will take some time to find him. Your grandfather said that he doesn't care about the day or the night, so don't worry."
This is really a timely help! Hua Zhi bowed sincerely and said, "Zhi'er will thank grandpa for his kindness on behalf of the entire Hua family."
"Why thank you? The relationship between the Zhu and Hua families is incomparable to others." Old Madam Zhu pulled the man up and asked with concern, "Are there any other difficulties? You don't have to treat grandma as an outsider. As long as we can help, the Zhu family will not hesitate."
He did not mention what his aunt had done, but the meaning between the lines was very clear: it was not the daughter-in-law's turn to be the head of the Zhu family!
Hua Zhi felt as if her chest was soaked in warm water, so warm that her whole heart softened.
Relatives are different from each other. Some people will wish you dead for their own benefit, but there are also people who worry about you and are afraid that you are not living a good life. She unfortunately had the former, but now, she is lucky to have the latter.
Madam Zhu misunderstood her silence as being difficult to speak, and her voice softened, "Zhi'er, don't feel embarrassed to speak. Just say whatever you want to say."
"Zhi'er just feels lucky to have a family like the Hua family and a foreign family like the Zhu family." Hua Zhi looked up, a smile slowly blooming in her eyes and mouth, "With you as my support, nothing can stump me."
The smile was a little ostentatious and proud, but it made people feel genuinely happy. Old Madam Zhu tried to see the reluctance in her expression, but was finally convinced by her confidence. The stone that had been weighing on her heart seemed to be removed by this smile, and she felt more relaxed than ever in these days.
Patting her hands, Old Madam Zhu said no more unnecessary words and stood up and said, "I heard from Lin Shuang that your grandmother is ill. I have to go and see her when I come. I brought some medicinal herbs with me. If there is anything missing, don't waste your money to buy it outside. Just ask Lin Shuang to go back to the Zhu family."
"Yes, Zhier won't be polite with you."
"You're welcome. Go ahead and do your work. You don't have to accompany me."
Hua Zhi also hoped that her grandmother, who had been holding on, had someone to talk to. After sending the person out of the yard, she stopped and looked at the back of the person walking away in the sunshine. Hua Zhi felt her heart more open than ever before.
The betrayals she experienced in her previous life had an impact on her. The arrival of her grandmother unexpectedly cleared up the haze, and her heart seemed to have been carefully sorted out, and everything was in place.
Knowing that her grandmother had gone to her mother's yard, she didn't go over. That crybaby mother must have cried for a long time, and as a daughter, she would have to hold it in. It would be better to stay away from her and let her cry freely. I'm really afraid that she would get sick if she held it in for too long.
She just asked someone to wait outside her mother's yard, and when she learned that her grandmother was leaving, she put four jars of iced canned peaches on the carriage in advance.
Seeing that her mother was much calmer after her grandmother's visit, Hua Zhi felt relieved and spent most of the day in the courtyard. It was only when her brother Bolin came back from the farm that she realized that three days had passed in a flash.
The half-grown child was a little darker, but extremely energetic, and there was no more gloom in his expression. The open look with a smile on his face was the look Hua Zhi liked the most.
"Have you seen the workshop?"
Hua Bolin's expression was full of admiration, "I see, I originally thought it was just a small workshop, but this is a big workshop."
"Of course it's a small workshop." At least for Hua Zhi, it was. "School will start tomorrow. Please inform everyone. Those who are willing to come can come. Those who are not willing to come will not be forced."
"Did the eldest sister invite the gentleman?"
"There is Mr. Mu, and me."
Hua Bolin was so shocked that she forgot to blink. The eldest sister is the teacher
"Can't accept it? Or do you think I'm not qualified?"
Hua Bolin shook his head repeatedly, "I know that the elder sister is as knowledgeable as the teacher, but... I have never heard of a female teacher..."
"It will be there soon." Hua Zhi was quite satisfied with her brother's reaction and gave him another task, "You don't have to hide it from your brothers. Comfort them in advance. Can you do it?"
Hua Bolin immediately straightened his back and said firmly and resolutely: "Yes!"
