The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 39

Xie Yujiao was waiting for news from Liu Fugen at home, somewhat worried.You must know that ancient times was a purely patriarchal society. Mr. Xie had no son. The big guy thought that it was not Xie Yujiao who recruited a son-in-law to inherit the family property, but a swarm of swarms trying to find an heir for the Xie family to inherit the family business.In the eyes of the ancients, a biological daughter is not as good as a kiss from a random boy with handles in the five clothes. This is the ancient patriarchal thinking.

Xie Yujiao had tidied up the things in the study and had nothing to do for a while, so she went to the old aunt's yard to see her aunt.After being raised in Xie's house for two days, the aunt's spirit has improved a lot. When Xie Yujiao entered, the two cousins ​​were also in the room with her mother. Zhang Xiudun asked her to sit in front of her aunt's bed.

"Is aunt better after giving birth?"

"It's much better." The eldest aunt was still a little weak, and the maid saw Xie Yujiao coming in, so she stepped forward to help her up, and leaned on the big royal blue satin pillow behind her.

Xie Yujiao winked and asked the maid to take the two children out, and then said: "Today, I have ordered the second housekeeper to sue the Jiang family. If this matter is fast, within a few days, the Jiang family's You can also get the wife's letter, aunt, don't be sad, the Xie family is your natal family, even if you live here for the rest of your life, no one will say anything about you."

The great aunt looked at Xie Yujiao, her eyes were full of emotion. When Master Xie was alive, although he often told herself this way, after all, there was no one like Xie Yujiao who helped her get this justice step by step.Seeing that she was about to escape from the sea of ​​suffering, she was happy in her heart, but when she thought of those two poor daughters, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing her red eyes, Xie Yujiao knew that she must be thinking of her two cousins. At such a young age, if she grew up in Jiang's family, she would have to suffer a lot from childhood. But if she continues to stay in Jiang family, maybe they will die at some point, and the children will also suffer in the future.

Xie Yujiao lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, then said: "I see that the Jiang family doesn't care much about the two cousins, so I guess it's impossible to expect them to take good care of them. Well, I have cheated other people's family of the gift money, and it is considered an account. Why don't we raise it in our Xie family first, and wait until we are older, and then look, the two cousins ​​are still young anyway!"

What my aunt was most afraid of was that the Xie family would not want to raise these two children. Seeing Xie Yujiao open her mouth now, her heart dropped, and she just thought: "Jiaojiao, you are so considerate of us, what do you want me to do?" OK!"

Xie Yujiao's face was radiant. Seeing that the eldest aunt's face was still pale, she smiled and said, "You have taken care of yourself earlier, and you usually spend more time with my mother to talk about family affairs, and to persuade my aunt and grandma to stop making troubles. It helped me the most, now that there are fewer people in the family, Aunt Shen is going to give birth at the end of the year, and my mother doesn't know much about it, you have brought two cousins, so you must be more experienced than my mother."

The eldest aunt nodded and said, "Yes, there are a lot of things going on at home now, and Aunt Shen's birth doesn't know whether it's a boy or a girl, but it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl!"

Xie Yujiao looked at her and lowered her brows as she spoke, remembering something unclear in her mind, she asked, "Auntie, it stands to reason that this is your third child, there is no reason why you don't know that you are pregnant, why do you It's too early to say!"

The aunt originally thought that no one would know about this matter, but Xie Yujiao saw it, and she felt a little embarrassed on her face. She was stunned for a long time, and then said dully: "I feel aggrieved, and I don't want to give birth to that bastard. Originally, I wanted to die, but if you came later that day, maybe you would just collect my body for me."

Xie Yujiao was shocked when she heard this, who knew that someone suddenly cried outside, Xie Yujiao turned her head and saw the old aunt standing at the door leaning on crutches!Humming and whimpering, weeping old tears, the maid helped her in and said, "Silly boy, it's a big deal, there's nothing you can't get over! Your eldest niece is amazing! With her backing you up, what are you afraid of! "

Xie Yujiao turned her head to look at the old aunt and grandma, hehe... This time I know that I am good, but this time it sounds like a compliment!Forget it, don't bother with you old woman.

Xie Yujiao saw the old aunt and grandma coming, so she got up and said, "I've been here for a while, and I'm leaving first. After lunch, the second housekeeper will probably be here, and I happened to ask about the county government's affairs."

The old aunt is respectful now, seeing Xie Yujiao getting up, she also wants to stand up to see her off, but her injury is not healed yet, she has lost a lot of energy just sitting down, and now she is struggling to stand up, Xie Yujiao saw , then smiled and said: "You just sit still, and when you are agile, you can move."

Xie Yujiao went back to Mrs. Xu's main room, and Mrs. Xu greeted her happily, and said with a smile, "Just now the concierge sent your uncle's letter back. Seeing that you were not in the study, he sent it directly. Your uncle said he sent the letter." I will start on that day, I am afraid that I am already halfway there, I count only ten days and half a month, and I will be home."

Seeing that Mrs. Xu was happy, Xie Yujiao only accepted the letter and came to read it. She has already recognized the traditional Chinese characters at least a few months. It is not a problem to read the letter and the account book. After reading the letter, Xie Yujiao bowed her head and thought about it. After a while, he said: "I'm afraid there will be unrest in the north."

Xu hurriedly asked: "Why are you uneasy?"

"My uncle asked me to find a house for my cousin's ancestral family in the city, and he even called the name so that four people would enter the house. I heard from my uncle last time that their ancestral family only had three rooms in total, and four people lived in it. House, wouldn’t the whole family want to come here?” Nowadays, the world is in trouble, and the north is severely beaten. Although everyone has no awareness of moving south, Xie Yujiao has studied history. Not one or two.Such a large house would cost several thousand taels of silver. If it wasn't for moving south, who would want to waste these thousands of taels of silver?

Thinking of this, Xie Yujiao came up with another way to make money.Now it is not safe to live outside, she only has one uncle, but she must not fold it outside. For the sake of safety, you cannot go to the north. If you don’t go to the north, the goods coming in from outside will not be sold. I need to take a break.Now that some people have changed the years of buying real estate in Jinling, within a few years, the housing prices in Jinling City are bound to rise.Xie Yujiao has started to be a real estate speculator, but this matter still needs to be discussed after Xu Yuxing comes back. As for these few days, let Liu Fugen go to the city to find out the real estate prices first.

In the afternoon, Liu Fugen came back from the county office and told Xie Yujiao exactly what Kang Guangshou had said.Xie Yujiao was quite happy in her heart, but intellectuals are different!It's reasonable to do things.Seeing Xie Yujiao's happiness, Liu Fugen also felt that he had done a good job, and said with a smile: "The servant came out from the county office and heard that Mrs. Kang's wife is about to give birth. Why don't Missy prepare some gifts and send them over?"

Xie Yujiao seemed to have heard that Kang Guangshou's wife was about to give birth, but the matter hadn't been done yet. If the gift was given first, people would inevitably say that the Xie family was offering bribes!Xie Yujiao thought for a while, and then said: "When this matter is settled, Mrs. Kang will probably have a baby too. By then, she will be a hundred years old or something. We are very interested. Don't give it away right now. Don't let her go. Master Kang is hard to do."

Liu Fugen felt that Xie Yujiao's thinking was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement, and Xie Yujiao told Liu Fugen about Xu Yuxing's search for a house, and only said: "You find more such big houses, let's compare the prices first, the more the more, the better." There are many, there are two courtyards and three courtyards, find a few for each, and it is best to have a street with shops along the whole street for sale, and ask more."

Liu Fugen currently has 34 shops in his hand. In the past, the business was big. Mr. Xie often said that the shops under his hands were all small businesses, and it would be better for Xu Yu to run around for hundreds of shops. You can earn a lot by sailing to the ship!Of course, these are ancestral properties, so it is impossible to sell them, but Mr. Xie has never paid attention to them. Although Liu Fugen has been busy these years, he really feels that he can't afford a few dollars. Now they are all contracted to those shopkeepers. There are fewer people going there, only the rent-collectors go there during the holidays.

Looking at Xie Yujiao's posture now, it seems that she has to pay attention to herself again, so she said happily: "Miss finally remembered me, isn't the street on the other side of Hoopong Lane all owned by our family? There are also thousands of taels of silver in the account, although it is not as big as the big business of the uncle, but it is still a job."

Xie Yujiao nodded and said, "You're right, it's also a job. Besides, it's not easy to make a living in the north these two years, so I don't dare to let my uncle run away again. Why don't I just stay at home and avoid these years? It can't be done."

Liu Fugen nodded vigorously, and said: "If Missy wants to buy a shop, I recently heard that there is an excellent shop, and the He family wants to sell it!"

Xie Yujiao blinked her eyes when she heard the words, and asked, "The He family? Is it the He family where Dad buried the sacrificial shed last time?"

"That's right, there are several other He families in Jiangning! Just their family, I heard that Mr. He wants to do a big business recently, and the money is not enough, so he wants to sell the shop on Gongyuan West Street. It’s just that the asking price is a bit high, and it hasn’t been sold yet.”

Xie Yujiao raised her eyebrows and thought for a while, the road of Gongyuan West Street sounds familiar, isn't it the area around the Confucius Temple today?Then this place was in ancient times, it can be regarded as a downtown area!Xie Yujiao immediately had an idea, so she leaned over to Liu Fugen and said, "See if you can think of a way to take down all the shops on this street?"

Although Liu Fugen didn't intend to buy it earlier, he followed others to see it, but he didn't reveal his identity at the time, so the other party thought he was just there to watch the excitement when he looked at his shabby appearance.Now with Xie Yujiao's words, he dared to go there!
