"Come, Miss, eat some eggs.
Don't just eat cabbage! "Madam Wang, Madam Yang, politely picked up some eggs with her chopsticks and placed them in Su Shuiche's bowl.
"Thank you, Auntie Yang." Su Shuiche thanked her with a smile.
She glanced at Lin Siyao, who was still eating rice, and picked up some eggs with her chopsticks and placed them in his bowl.
Seeing Lin Siyao look over, she smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
Lin Siyao lowered his eyelids to hide the deep smile in his eyes, and he ate the egg she gave him in one bite.
"Tsk tsk!
Look at this couple, so loving! "Madam Yang joked with a smile.
In the morning, she had chatted with Madam Lao at the entrance of the Hua family's courtyard for a while. Only then did she find out that Su Shuiche and Madam Lao had planned to settle down and get married in Fanhua Town. Who would have thought that the Hua family, who had just bought the Hua family residence yesterday, would go back on their word today?
Madam Yang had thought things through at that time, but because her husband was still sitting in the Hua family's main room, she couldn't call him out to discuss it.
She never thought that the old man would have the same idea as her and even dragged them over to discuss the transfer of the old residence.
Madam Yang was very happy.
She had wanted to get rid of the old residence for a long time. Not only was it far away from her home inconvenient to take care of, but the house had long been so dilapidated that even her children didn't want to live there after they got married. They would rather live with the two of them.
Since that was the case, it was better to transfer the old residence while it was still habitable. If the house really collapsed, it couldn't be sold for much if it wasn't renovated, but it would be too expensive if it was renovated.
Thinking of this, Madam Yang was even more attentive to Su Shuiche and Madam Lao.
… …
"That, my daughter, I've discussed it with your aunt. We won't give a false price, so it's just this."
After lunch, on the village road to the Wang family's old residence, Wang Gengfa wondered if he should tell Su Shuiche the price he had in mind first.
So that when she saw how dilapidated the residence was, she wouldn't directly give him a ruthless price.
Su Shuiche saw the village head waving his index finger and middle finger at her. Was this … twenty taels?
Her lips curled up slightly as she smiled at Wang Gengfa. She nodded and said, "Uncle Wang, if the house is suitable, then there is no problem."
"That's good, that's good."
Wang Gengfa chuckled and put down his finger, still holding it behind his back. From afar, he saw a few villagers walking towards them. He whispered to Su Shuiche, "That … my dear daughter, if someone asks later, don't say that I want to sell the house.
That … Heh heh, before my daughter takes a liking to you, I'm too embarrassed to go around advertising it. "
In fact, he was worried that if other villagers had the same thoughts as him and dragged Su Shuiche to see their houses, he was afraid that she would choose someone else's house.
After all, Wang Gengfa was well aware of the dilapidated state of his family's old house.
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I understand." Su Shuiche nodded. She wasn't a gossipy person to begin with.
She also wouldn't tell others about these things that didn't even have a shadow.
Wang Gengfa nodded approvingly.
She really was a clever girl.
If it wasn't for the fact that his child already had a girl he liked, this girl would be a good one.
Wang Gengfa, who had countless schemes in his mind, completely forgot about Su Shuiche's Lin Siyao, who was wholeheartedly protecting her.
… …
The Wang family's old house was built in the southwest corner of Blossom Town, occupying an area of one mu.
The main house had three main rooms and a side room that was used as a kitchen.
The courtyard was surrounded by fences and low walls.
In the empty space behind the house to the north, there was a wild cherry planted. In front of the house facing the sun, there was originally a large vegetable field, but it hadn't been taken care of for many years and was now overgrown with weeds.
The reason why Old Man Wang had chosen this location was because of the winding river that flowed in front of the house.
The river was higher in the west and lower in the east. As a result, the water here was the clearest.
However, because the house was located in the southwest corner, it was the furthest from the entrance to the city. As a result, when Wang Gengfa coincidentally became the village chief of Blossom Town, the first thing he did was to choose a good location in the town and build a new courtyard for his family.
Old Man Wang was getting on in years and couldn't move freely, so he couldn't persuade Wang Gengfa and moved to the new house to live with them.
After Old Man Wang moved to the new house, everything in the Wang family's old house had been tidied up by Madam Fang.
Only an empty shell was left.
As a result, if Su Shuiche and Wang Gengfa decided to live here, they would have to spend a lot of money to prepare all kinds of furniture.
Su Shuiche walked around the Wang family's old house. She was very satisfied with the scenery outside.
Outside the fence in front of the house, a clear river meandered past. After seven or eight meters of the river bank, there was a large green grassy slope that extended all the way to the west. A beautiful mountain peak could be vaguely seen. It was probably a branch of Dashi Mountain. Looking from afar, it was surrounded by clouds and mist. It was very beautiful.
Behind the house, the village road ended here. There was no road further west.
In other words, the Wang family's old house occupied the southwest corner of Blossom Town. If they wanted to expand a few side houses at the end of the village road, as long as they had the funds, they could go to the village and do the procedures.
However, Su Shuiche swept her eyes over the somewhat brittle pillars and door beams, the inner walls covered in mildew, and the windows that had all the paper peeled off.
Did this kind of house also cost twenty taels?
She looked at Lin Siyao with some difficulty.
"Ten taels." Lin Siyao directly opened his mouth.
When Wang Gengfa heard this, his expression turned a lot uglier. He looked at Su Shuiyin and tried to persuade her, "That … my daughter, there are still two acres of fertile land in this house. It's on the west side. It's just a few steps away.
That, isn't ten taels too little? "
That's right, there were also two mu of land.
Su Shuiche nodded and looked at Lin Siyao again.
"Fifteen taels." Lin Siyao received her questioning look and added five taels.
Only then did Wang Gengfa realize that the person in charge seemed to be the cold and taciturn man in front of him. Previously, he had been circling around Su Shui Yue. It was obvious that he had hugged the wrong person.
However, even if he knew that the one in charge was this man, he still didn't dare to loudly bargain with him.
In fact, Lin Siyao's entire body emitted a cold aura that made people close to him unconsciously feel weak in the knees.
Forget it, forget it. In any case, it exceeded the lowest price that he had discussed with his wife — — ten taels. So be it.
This kind of house in the corner was obviously going to fall in price the more it was left.
Wang Gengfa thought this and firmly nodded at Su Shuiche and Su Shuiche, "Deal!"
Thus, both parties returned to the Wang Family's new residence and signed the transfer contract that Wang Gengfa had obtained from the Hua Family. One party exchanged money, and the other party exchanged goods.
Wang Gengfa took the twenty taels that Su Shuiche handed over and gave her five taels with heartache.
At the same time, he also gave her the deed to the old house and the land.
He sighed and said, "Daughter, from now on, that house is yours. You have to work hard and tidy it up properly!"
Wang Gengfa only came back to his senses after Madame Yang pinched his arm. He smiled at Su Shuiche and Su Shuiche, embarrassed.
Su Shuiche smiled and nodded, "Of course."
She turned around and looked at Lin Siyao. Both of them had a deep smile in their eyes. It was great to have their own home.
Although, this home required more than a little sacrifice.
