Chapter 199 Goodwill
"Madam, aren't you a new neighbor here?" Mrs. Liu asked Jiang while holding a pair of children.

Perhaps because of Jiang's kindness towards the two children, Mrs. Liu's vigilance is no longer so strong, and her tone has softened a lot.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and admitted, "Let Miss Liu see it."

Mrs. Liu smiled slightly, and continued: "Although the little lady is a country woman, she has met many people. Madam, you don't look like someone who lives here."

"I'm not going to hide it from Mrs. Liu, I'm the one who came to your house this morning to buy this workshop." Jiang said truthfully.

Mrs. Liu nodded, as if she had already guessed it, and said slowly: "This workshop is the property of my husband's ancestors, and I can't make the decision, but it's okay for me to show you around, my wife."

Mrs. Jiang was not in a hurry to look at the workshop, but still looked at Mrs. Liu and asked, "If I buy this workshop, won't you and the children have no place to live?"

"Even if you don't buy it, Ma'am, someone else will buy it. Ma'am, you have a good heart. I'd rather you buy it. At least it can give us mother and son some time to find a good place to move out." Liu A look of sadness flashed across the lady's face, and she said bitterly.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine, God will take care of you mother and son." Jiang looked at Mrs. Liu, and didn't say too many comforting words, just said this.

Mrs. Liu thanked her gratefully, and took Mrs. Jiang to the workshop in front of her to have a look.

Since the printing workshop has not been started for a long time, the tools and facilities inside are somewhat old and damaged, but fortunately, they are not serious, and they should be able to continue to be used after repairing, and there is no need to buy new ones.

Mrs. Jiang is very satisfied with this workshop, after all, it is cheap, such a large workshop plus a house only costs 50 taels, which is almost half sold and half given away.

After watching the workshop, Mrs. Jiang was about to leave, and Mrs. Liu and her two children sent her to the door.

Jiang smiled and waved to them at the door, "No need to send them off, you go back."

The three of Mrs. Liu still watched her go away before returning to the house.

"Ah! Mother, that aunt has pulled something down." Liu Daya looked at a delicate purse on the stool where Mrs. Jiang had been sitting, and quickly picked it up and said to Mrs. Liu.

Lady Liu's expression changed slightly, she quickly took the purse, and quickly chased it out.But there is still Jiang's figure outside.

Mrs. Liu held the purse tightly, felt the shape of the things inside, and naturally knew what it was. She was not sure if the kind lady left the purse on purpose, but the kindness alone was enough to make her feel happy. She was so moved that she was about to shed tears. She was used to seeing too much indifference and blank eyes before she realized how precious this kindness is.

Mrs. Jiang left Liu's house and returned to the wine shop very quickly. Li Yan and Wang Daya were waiting for her anxiously. Seeing her coming back, Li Yan immediately got up and walked over, asking, "How do you see the lady of the Liu family?" ?”

Mrs. Jiang nodded, "I see, just like what Brother Wang said, the lady of the Liu family is really pitiful. I think she and the two children haven't had enough to eat for a long time. They left some snacks and money. They should be able to last for a while." day."

"Grandma is kind-hearted, it's really a blessing for Miss Liu to meet you." Wang Daya also said with a smile on the side.

Jiang looked at him and said with a smile, "You are not the same. Speaking of which, you have done a lot more for Mrs. Liu than me." After she finished speaking, she turned the topic to the printing workshop, "I see Liu's workshop. Yes, it's not too bad, we'll pay the deposit today, you can go find that Liu Laosan and come over."

"Don't worry, grandpa and grandma, you two wait here for a while, I'll get him right away." Wang Daya responded with a smile, and trotted out of the wine shop.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Daya led a tall and thick man back.

The man looked quite upright, but his body was very sloppy, he was wearing a dirty blue cloth, and he didn't know how long he hadn't washed it, his beard was unshaven, and his eye circles were black. It looked like he hadn't slept all night.

Mrs. Jiang thought of the emaciated appearance of Mrs. Liu, mother and son, and felt a little disgusted at this fairly robust man.

"Brother Liu, these two are going to buy your workshop, Li Xiucai and her wife, they have decided to buy it, and they are going to pay the deposit today." Wang Daya introduced Li Yan and his wife to Liu Laosan.

"Li Xiucai, you really have a vision. My workshop was passed down from my ancestors. When my father was still there, the business was very good. If you two take it over, the business will be prosperous." Liu Laosan looked at Li. Yan, as if looking at a piece of silver, said with bright eyes.

Li Yan didn't like Liu Laosan either, so he nodded expressionlessly, and said to Wang Daya, "Brother Wang, since both parties have no objections, let's go through the formalities quickly."

Wang Daya quickly responded and asked Li Yan to pay a deposit of five taels, and then the two parties signed a simple contract first, and then paid the final payment after the official contract was completed in a few days.

Liu Laosan got the silver, bit it hard with his teeth, and was sure that it was true, his cloudy eyes narrowed with a smile, he put the silver in his arms, and said to Wang Daya: "Brother Wang, I There are still some urgent matters, let's go first, and I will treat you to a drink at another time." After finishing speaking, he ran out of the wine shop in a hurry.

Looking at his back, Wang Daya became more and more contemptuous, and waited for the people to walk away, before he said to Li Yan and the two of them: "This is going to the casino again immediately, don't worry, you two, once he goes in, he won't be able to get out for three days." .”

Mrs. Jiang nodded, sighed helplessly, and said, "I don't know how such a good person as Mrs. Liu would marry such a picky bastard. It's worse than the pain of Li Lai."

Wang Daya also sighed, and said: "Grandma Li, you don't know, Mrs. Liu is a second marriage, her first husband died long ago, and the brother of the first man took over her family's property, Their orphans and widows drove them out of the house. She had no choice but to marry Liu Laosan again. After the father passed away, the life of their mother and child became more and more difficult."

Listening to Wang Daya's words, Mrs. Jiang vaguely felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Aren't Mrs. Liu's two children belong to Liu Laosan?"

"Those two children belong to Liu Laosan." Wang Daya replied, hesitating for a moment, and then said, "But she also had a son with the first ex-husband, who has grown up long ago, and you may know it when you say it. There is a well-known ruffian in the town, Pi San'er."
