Gu was dumbfounded: "How can that be possible! What's the difference between this and giving it to us?"
The house is so big and the yard is big too, it should cost at least ten taels.
Yang said, "Aunt, five taels is not a small amount! This house has not been repaired for many years and is not worth much. If it is left there for a few more years, it will collapse and not even be worth five taels. Besides, this place is a little far from the village and close to the fields. There are many mosquitoes and no one likes to live here."
Gu waved her hands: "I can't take advantage of you like this. This house and yard are so big, with vegetables and land. I can't take advantage of you like this. ..."
Village Chief Gu shook his head. "What the eldest aunt said is not right. What do you mean by taking advantage of me? This house was built with the help of Uncle Chongshan. What did you say when Uncle helped me? Tell me, can't you, as the eldest aunt and uncle, take care of your nephew? Today, can't I, the nephew, take care of the eldest aunt? This house has been here for more than ten years. Can't you sell it at half the price?"
Village Chief Gu can have a good life today thanks to the fact that he went hunting in the mountains with Shen Zhongshan when he was a child, where he learned some hunting skills, archery, and martial arts. Shen Zhongshan also saved his life, otherwise he would have been eaten by a tiger long ago.
Moreover, he got half of the money from selling the tiger, which is why he is where he is today!
Shen Zhongshan's kindness to him is as heavy as a mountain.
He has always wanted to help the Gu family and wanted them to move back home, but the Gu family was unwilling. This is a good opportunity.
The village chief's wife nodded and said, "That's not the truth! Aunt, if you think we sold it cheaply, then just think of it as a gift from us young people to you! It's a gift to you! Besides, we shouldn't charge you for it, but you're just worried."
Mrs. Gu wanted to say something, but Village Chief Gu said, "Okay, aunt, if you say anything more, I won't charge you a penny. Five taels, do you want to buy it? If not, I'll give it to you! Let's calculate how much Uncle Chongshan helped my family and me in the past. If it weren't for..."
Village Chief Gu started his long speech again!
He said a lot of things in a flash.
"... ... Aunt, do you think I should accept this money?"
Gu couldn't stand it, "Okay, stop talking. Seven taels of silver, I'll buy it only if it's seven taels. Otherwise I won't move! Even if it's seven taels, I'll feel like I'm getting a great bargain, I'm embarrassed."
Gu thought about paying it back slowly, bit by bit, in the future.
She could not have imagined that the good deeds she had done back then would yield such great results today.
In fact, Village Chief Gu has helped a lot over the years.
I really don't owe them anything.
Village Chief Gu wanted to say something.
Yang quietly pulled him and said with a smile, "Then let's have seven taels!"
When the time comes, we can spend some money to repair the house and the courtyard wall.
Gu breathed a sigh of relief, finally spending the seven taels of money!
Village Chief Gu said happily: "Uncle Yuxia and the others will be very happy to know that you, aunt, have moved back."
Gu's smile froze when she heard this. She was a little afraid to face her elder and second brothers.
Yang quietly and forcefully pinched the flesh around Village Chief Gu's waist.
Village Chief Gu's expression was distorted with pain.
Xing Nong took out seven taels of silver: "Uncle Gu, here you go."
"Okay, then I'll take it. I'll find someone to help repair the house tomorrow." Village Chief Gu took the silver.
I was thinking about how to spend the money on this house.
Xing Nong didn't like the room to be too dark, so she said to the village chief, "Uncle Gu, when you renovate the house, can you open the windows a little bigger to let in some light?"
Tomorrow she can get another ten taels of silver as a deposit, and then she can quietly give the money for repairing the house to the village chief.
"Okay, how do you want to change Xing Nong? Come on, tell me, which room do you want to change?"
Xingnong and Village Chief Gu entered the room together.
Gu Zesen and Xing Qing also followed him in.
Seeing this, Gu hurriedly pulled the village head's wife aside and whispered:
"Zesen's mother, I want Xingnong's name on the land and house deeds. The money for buying the house was earned by Xingnong. When she was washing dishes in a restaurant, she learned some cooking skills, studied a few recipes, and made some money by selling the recipes. You also know the situation of my family. If the house is written in Xingnong's name, if anything happens in the future, they and their daughter will have a guarantee."
Of course Yang knew about Gu's situation. No one knew it better than her. After all, it was her husband who reminded her back then. Alas, it has not been easy for her aunt over the years, otherwise her life would not have been so hard!
But so many years have passed, it should be okay, right
The emperor is far away and the sky is high. That person can’t always keep an eye on their family!
Does someone of that status have so much free time
But it's better to be careful.
"Okay, write it for Xingnong. After so many years, you can relax, aunt! You see, Xingnong knows how to make money, and the children have grown up. You can just wait to enjoy the good life in the future!"
Gu smiled, a little worried, "The children are all sensible, and I am indeed relieved. I just hope they are safe and healthy in the future, then I will have no regrets."
The village head's wife comforted him, "What are you talking about, aunt? Xingnong's children will have good fortunes in the future! You have suffered enough in this life!"
Gu shook her head: "I am looking forward to it, but I don't know how Ruolan is doing."
"Ruolan is such a kind and smart child..."
... ...
The Grand Princess's Mansion in Beijing
In a garden filled with clouds and flowers, a woman in white, who was dressed elegantly but whose stunning beauty could not be concealed, was sitting under a pavilion, playing the zither facing the lotus pond.
The sound of the piano is lingering, mournful, and like crying and complaining, making people feel heavy-hearted when they hear it.
An elderly nanny couldn't help crying. The princess was missing the Grand Princess again.
At this time, a maid hurried out from the other side of the rockery, came to the outside of the pavilion, bowed respectfully to the woman playing the zither, and then presented a letter with both hands: "Princess, Princess Wuyang sent someone to deliver a letter to you."
Princess Changle gently withdrew her hand, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
"Show it up!"
The maid lowered her head, kept her hands in the original position, and walked respectfully to the pavilion, stopping one step away: "Princess, a letter."
The personal maid beside Princess Changle took it, opened it, and dared not look at it. She lowered her head, bent over, and presented it to her very respectfully: "Princess, please take a look."
Princess Changle then took the letter and started reading it, and her pair of delicate and beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows unconsciously gathered together.
It's really more of a failure than a success!
Who made them force people to become homeless and report to the police? Even rabbits will bite when they are angry!
However, why did Ren Zilin go to Pingyuan County to serve as the county magistrate
So annoying!
She didn't want him to find out anything, as that man was always a big mouth.
If he knew it, the whole city would know it.
"I wrote back to the people at Princess Wuyang's residence, telling them not to worry about it, as it wouldn't cause any trouble."
"Yes!" the maid responded respectfully and retreated.
At this time, a man with a refined temperament, who was still handsome and extraordinary even in his middle age, came over and asked, "What do you mean there is no storm?"
