Ning Mengyao looked at Qiao Tianchang in astonishment. The land here produced relatively little food. What was the use of buying it
"Why? If you want, I can give you some food from the paddy field." Ning Mengyao said with a frown.
However, Qiao Tianchang shook his head: "No, I didn't buy it to grow, and I don't know how to farm."
"Then what did you buy it for?" Ning Mengyao didn't understand what Qiao Tianchang meant, and looked at Qiao Tianchang with confusion in her eyes.
"I want to buy an acre or two of land at the foot of this mountain to build a house." Qiao Tianchang said helplessly.
Qiao Tianchang's words made Ning Mengyao's expression even more strange. She looked at Qiao Tianchang strangely: "Don't you have a house? Why do you still want to build a house?"
Qiao Tianchang sneered and said sarcastically: "There is a woman who always wants to climb the wall and run to my house. I really don't dare to live there."
Ning Mengyao understood what was going on after a moment's thought, so she nodded: "Okay, where do you want it?"
"It's not far from your home," Qiao Tianchang said directly.
Ning Mengyao thought about it for a moment, but she didn't mean to avoid suspicion: "Well, you can ask Uncle Yang to help you settle the household."
"That's okay." After settling the matter, Qiao Tianchang said a few more words to Ning Mengyao before leaving.
Qingxuan looked at Qiao Tianchang's leaving figure thoughtfully. For some reason, he always felt that this man was somewhat familiar.
"Miss, what did that person mean just now?" Qingzhu blinked and asked curiously.
Knocking the green bamboo with her finger, Ning Mengyao said with a smile but not a smile: "Are you here, are you curious? Do you want me to go ask for you?"
"Miss, you clearly know what I mean." Qingzhu was unhappy and looked at Ning Mengyao sadly.
"Well, his family lives in a village, and there is a girl next door who likes him. But that girl doesn't care about the world's eyes, so she often climbs the wall of her house when he goes out." It seems that this time Qiao Tianchang was angered by Yang Cui, otherwise he wouldn't have come directly to buy land to build a house.
Not only Qingzhu, but also Mrs. Qin looked at her with astonished eyes: "No way?"
"Why not? I met him once just a few months after I came here, but he didn't care about it at all. After all, he has a scholar brother, right?" Ning Mengyao was talking about Yang Cui, a scholar. Brother, his eyes were full of sarcasm.
Mrs. Qin frowned at her young lady and said seriously: "You have to stay away from girls like my young lady."
"I have a grudge against her." Ning Mengyao said coldly.
Mrs. Qin was immediately satisfied when she heard this. What if such a person misleads her own lady
This incident was just an episode for Ning Mengyao and the others, but Yang Cui's already bad reputation had become even worse, especially when she found out that Qiao Tianchang wanted to buy land to build a house.
This was like a slap in Yang Cui's face. When Yang Cui heard the news, her face looked as ugly as possible.
In her heart, she had a scholar brother, and she liked Qiao Tianchang because she liked him. But now her appearance has completely changed. She is actually disliked by others. The matchmaker who used to come to her house constantly, now No more.
She knew it was all because of what happened between her and Ning Mengyao during this period.
With hatred in his eyes, Yang Cui stared at the next door. If it weren't for Ning Mengyao's arrival, would Qiao Tianchang look down on him like this
The more she thought about it, the more hatred filled Yang Cui's heart. She would not just let it go. She would definitely make Ning Mengyao pay the price for it.
Ning Mengyao didn't know the hatred in Yang Cui's heart at all. Instead, she lived very leisurely every day, just preparing vaguely patriotic meals every day.
In the past few days before the New Year, the parents of several children who had been learning to read at her place also came with New Year's gifts. She didn't want them originally, but they forced them to give them to her. .
In the end, Ning Mengyao could only take some snacks she made to each family.
