Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 732 Why bother?

Houses in the inner city are expensive, so most of the residents are dignitaries or wealthy people, while houses in the outer city are relatively cheap, so most of the residents are ordinary people.

Similarly, two-story shops of the same size in better locations in the inner city are much more expensive than those in the outer city.

Now that it was decided, Gu Erzhu followed Zhou Sishun's instructions and selected a house in the west city of the inner city and four shops in the inner and outer cities according to his own ideas.

Among them, this large two-story house in the inner city was selected for Dajiang Xiaohe. Although it was not the most expensive house among the recommendations, it was only separated from the Zhou family's original mansion by one street.

The most interesting thing is that Zhou Huanxu had already considered the future division of the family property among his three sons, and had two other large houses with two entrances near the original mansion.

Zhou Sishun likes this house very much. He has no plans to settle down here with his wife in the future, but it would be best if his son and three nephews live close to it.

Furthermore, even though he didn't say it, he knew in his heart that the big house in the capital that was under the name of his daughter San Ya could not be returned no matter whether San Ya returned the dowry or not.

He didn't know that the house was in the imperial city before, but his eldest nephew told him privately last night that the house could not be given to anyone else but San Ya.

In this way, even if the son-in-law becomes a Beijing official like Boss Zhao in the future, and his son also goes to Beijing, the children will not live too far away and can take care of each other.

It's just too expensive.

As for the four shops in the inner and outer cities, his in-laws also selected them very well.

Aside from one shop whose price was obviously 20% to 30% lower than the market price, making it difficult to take advantage of it, his relative-in-law took over all the remaining four shops.

But before he could take out the banknotes that his San Ya couple had secretly slipped to him before he left, his relative-in-law had already thrown a purse to Chang Qing and dragged him away.

This?
Before he left, not only did his brother-in-law give him the banknotes, but when he arrived at Zhoujia Village, his elder brother (Zhou Huan) also hid it from his elder sister-in-law and asked Uncle Fu to wait for him to give him the banknotes even though he was not at home.

Ok.

Anyway, this house is very expensive. Even if his elder brother and sister-in-law have added the difference in price in private, he still cannot afford 5,200 taels of silver.

Who wouldn't know that it must be the money given by his third daughter? But no matter how shameless he was, he would never let his daughter buy a shop in the capital.

The four shops, big and small, cost about 20,000 taels of silver. Even if you pick out two of the cheaper ones, it would still cost nearly 10,000 taels of silver.

Not to mention how many shops there are now in the area of ​​the village market, my brother-in-law even forced us to buy three shops from the county town before the New Year. How could I have more?

When Zhou Sishun was dragged away by Gu Erzhu, he quickly turned around and winked at Chang Qing, to prevent Chang Qing from really putting two of the shops under his name.

Even if he is stupid, he still knows what his in-laws mean. He can put it under his name first and transfer it to San Ya later. In fact, it is just a delaying tactic. It would be better to put it directly under San Ya's name.

If the Qi family knew that he not only bought the house today, but also bought two shops, not to mention transferring the shops to San Ya, no matter what the Qi family thought, San Ya would not want them.

Why bother?

Chang Qing was very quick in his work. When he returned to Zhou's house almost at the end of the day, he would bring five freshly-issued red deeds and sales documents.

only?

Gu Erzhu was stunned. "Don't tell me I'm too serious. You must know where my wealth came from. San Ya doesn't owe her brother anything, but her contribution is greater than the sky.

To be honest with you, everyone wants money, but I am more afraid that my poor San Ya's kindness will not be rewarded, and she will be harmed by her grandparents and then hurt by her own brother.

Now it's already good, San Ya has given her brother a lot of assets, and she has her own children, so she has to think more about herself."

Gu Erzhu originally saw that among the five red deeds, only the second-floor house was under Zhou Sishun's name. When he came to his senses and was about to speak, he heard Zhou Sishun's words.

"Why are you glaring at me!" Zhou Sishun said with a smile, "You can't blame me for not leaving the shop in my brother-in-law's name. It was your son who said that you ordered that his and his wife's things could only be left in his wife's name. You've been thinking too much. Are you afraid that Brother Ma can't control Sister Ma?"

Gu Erzhu laughed and shook his head, "You are different? If I want my children to have close relationships with their brothers and sisters-in-law, I, as a father, have to think more.

Now I see the children living in harmony, but we are all experienced people, so we know that there are one thing that goes with getting married, and another thing with having children.

Take myself as an example. When I first got married, I felt that I had not listened to my parents and married a wife. I felt a little sorry for them, but I gave in whenever I could.

But when Erlang was born, and then Liulang was born, the mother of the children didn't need to persuade them at all, because she knew that she was closer to her son than to her nephew.

I consider myself a filial son, but as my child grows up, and earns money, I wonder how much I can hide every time. "

Zhou Sishun burst into laughter and patted his shoulder fiercely, "Same! I still remember when my daughter was born, I felt that I was different.

The next morning after my third day of mourning, I went to the city to carry bags and earned thirty-two copper coins. That was the first time I secretly hid the extra twelve coins.

You are really promising!

But the second brother didn't say anything about the eldest brother. When he first became a father, he was not as caring as this brother. It was only later that he saw that the old man was becoming more and more partial to him!

They are obviously the same grandsons, but Erlang is a few years younger than Dalang. Yet Erlang was made to cry by Dalang, and the old man even praised Dalang. How could he not have any thoughts?

For the sake of that family, he gave up so many things since he was old enough to understand, and he married the child's mother disobeyedly. As a result, the whole family ate and used his things and still didn't like Erlang.

Ugh.

In the end, she couldn't even protect Liu Lang. She was obsessed with him and only thought about the child growing up. She had to save money quickly, and she forgot that the child had grown up and her heart had grown up too.

As the days and years go by, my sons are no longer children who just need to be well fed and warmly clothed and who will naturally obey me after a few words of coaxing. They also have their own ideas.

"…I finally saved up two hundred coins, but my wife looked smart, but she was actually a fool, and one day she was cheated out of it.

From then on, whenever I went to town or city to look for work, I was always accompanied by my brothers. I couldn't hide a few more coins even if I wanted to. Life was difficult.

Seeing that they have a large group of brothers, no one dares to bully them when they go out, but privately, everyone is afraid that someone is hiding something close to them and they will suffer a loss, so they keep a close eye on them.

You don't know how desperate I am. Only if I work with Genzi (Zhou Changgen) can I have a chance to get him to help me hide a few more coins.

But Genzi's mother was not easy to marry when she was alive. Only Sister Dani (Gu Yangqing's wife), her mother, Third Aunt, loved me.

For my sake, Third Aunt did not suffer any resentment, and even her daughters-in-law later advised her to stay out of the matter, which is why I asked Yue's family for help when my mother was pregnant with Dajiang."
