Chapter 61: You understand, right?

June 14, 2023Ai Hrist

The Patriarch of the Wu family knew very well that his eldest son was very assertive.

He asked: “What do you want to do?”

Eldest Young Master Wu replied: “Xiao Hanzheng has a bad relationship with the main Xiao Family.”

“I found out that those people from the main Xiao Family are selling their house and land because they want to go to the capital to find General Xiao.”

He hooked his lips: “With the cannibalism of those in the main Xiao family if they knew that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo had earned 600 taels, I guess they would start a fight.”

Since they spent their mind on that little black ball, he checked the details of Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.

He learned that Xiao Hanzheng was a Xiao Sanjuan and was favored by several teachers from the county school. He also learned that he had broken ties with his father General Xiao.

In addition, the new county magistrate whose surname was Mo has a big background.

In the past, he doesn’t need to spend money to clean up people. He only needed to call someone to pretend to be a bandit and kill people after stealing their things.

He doesn’t believe that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo would take the initiative to speak out after earning six hundred taels.

So why not let him help them spread the word?

At that time, not only the main Xiao family but also the thieves may have an idea.

Patriarch Wu agreed with a dark smile: “This is a good idea.”

“You arrange someone to reveal it to the main Xiao family.”

Eldest Young Master Wu nodded: “Okay.”

In the village.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo left the village chief’s house.

This happened to be the time when the villagers were going home after finishing their farm work.

When they met people who like to gossip, they can’t help but ask them why they went to the patriarch’s house.

Xiao Hanzheng talked about getting six hundred taels, and that the family wanted to buy land and build a house.

This was discussed between him and his little wife. He told the matter himself, to prevent the Wu family from causing trouble, and at the same time keep the villagers from thinking wildly.

The villagers standing nearby and passing by were shocked when they heard this.

They were completely dumbfounded, six hundred taels was so much.

This Xiao Xiucai’s life turned around the table after marrying a golden treasure, right?

As for what the Old Immortal Master left behind that can be sold for six hundred taels, everyone was not so curious and surprised.

After all, he was an immortal. Can the things left behind be worthless?

Fortunately, the folk customs in Xiaxi Village were good, and most of the villagers were simple.

Especially Xiao Hanzheng was still a talent with unlimited potential, and his identity was completely different from everyone else.

Even if he doesn’t discriminate against everyone, everyone has a natural awe of him.

So although the villagers were envious, they didn’t have malice.

Soon the news spread throughout the village.

And caused another sensation.

Everyone even had a feeling in their hearts that Xiao Hanzheng’s wife was not only blessed but also a golden treasure.

Why didn’t they think about marrying people back home?

At the main Xiao family’s house.

After Old Lady Xiao and the others heard this, their eyes turned red with jealousy.

“That dead girl is really powerful. If you sell the things left by Old Immortal Master, you will get 600 taels.”

Mrs. Wu’s eyes rolled, and she encouraged the old lady: “Mother, they didn’t have the money to buy our house and land before, but now they have.”

“We haven’t signed the contract of the land we sold, so it’s still too late to repent.”

Mrs. Wang and others also think it makes sense.

The main point was that they want to get Xiao Hanzheng’s six hundred taels.

Old lady Xiao stood up, “I’m going to find Zheng’er now.”

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wu also stood up, as if they wanted to follow.

Who knew that just as they walked to the door, they met Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng who happened to come to the main house.

Old Lady Xiao seldom smiled kindly: “Zheng’er, you’re here.”

“Come in and sit down.”

They thought that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qinglou got six hundred taels, so they wanted to take the initiative to buy the land and the old house.

Each one of them thought to themselves, how they will trick these two people?

At least three hundred taels, right? But four hundred taels would be best.

Who knew that as soon as they sat down, Shi Qingluo spoke first: “I suggest that you separate the sale of the house from the land and sell it quickly.”

Old Lady Xiao frowned: “Why sell them separately? If we sell them together, we can redeem them when we come back in the future.”

Shi Qinglou looked at her with eyes like ‘You think of turning around’?

“If you sell it to one person, General Xiao will directly send someone to threaten him, and he will be able to redeem the house and land immediately, and then find an excuse to send you back.”

“If the land is distributed and sold to different families, the land is cultivated, and the house is lived in, can he still threaten people to redeem the land and the house?”

“It would invite people to gossip, and he wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Not only she has to cut off these good products of the main Xiao family, but she also has to prevent that scumbag father from sending people to redeem the land and the house and throwing people back immediately after taking advantage of loopholes.

Old Lady Xiao’s smile froze as if it made sense.

“I want to sell it to you.” But she was still unwilling.

Shi Qingluo sneered, “Everyone is a smart person, do you think we would be so stupid as to buy the old house and the land of your Xiao Family? And let you come back to be demons in the future?”

“Don’t worry about our 600 taels. We need to buy a mountain to build a house, and we also need to repair the old house for a tofu workshop. The money is barely enough.”

She said bluntly: “Don’t be fooled by the little money in front of you. We only have 600 taels. Who knows how many 600 taels at the General House are waiting for you.”

“Your precious son and daughter-in-law eat at least 10 or 20 taels of silver for a meal, which cost 30 or 40 taels a day.”

“Our 600 taels is not enough to feed them for a month.”

“So you have to take a long-term view.”

She and her husband expected that once the news of the six hundred taels was released, the best products of the main Xiao family would want to be a demon again or be used by the Wu family.

Then it would be better for them to come to the door and suppress them first.

Even if the Wu family played tricks, they will only punch cotton.

As soon as Shi Qingluo said this, the people from the main Xiao family turned from being jealous of their six hundred taels and immediately transferred to the General Mansion’s meals, which were so extravagant.

Xiao Hanzheng also said aside: “Grandma, uncle, third uncle, you all know my temperament, and my money is not so easy to get.”

Old Xiao Family member: “… …”

They almost forgot this was also a ruthless person.

Before the family was separated, they couldn’t handle Xiao Hanzheng, and they were dealt with instead.

It was not easy to think about his money.

Shi Qingluo also added with a smile: “The General’s Mansion still has mountains of gold and silver waiting for you to spend. 600 taels are nothing.”

“You can’t let General Xiao and his wife take advantage of the loopholes and find excuses to get you back.”

“You don’t have a place to live, no land to support your living, just throw out a filial piety, and the general will not dare to drive you away.”

She threatened again: “I can continue to help you with ideas and turn the General’s Mansion into your world. How should you choose? You are so smart, you should understand, right?”

People from the main Xiao family look at each other.

What the dead girl said makes sense.

The main point was that they still have to rely on the dead girl for advice, otherwise, they won’t be able to play against those two unfilial people.

Old Man Xiao gave Old Lady Xiao a look.

Old lady Xiao endured the pain and gritted her teeth: “Okay, let’s sell the house and the land separately.”

They have already negotiated with several families. They originally wanted to go back on my word, but now it seems that they still can’t.

For the gold and silver of the General’s Mansion, six hundred taels were nothing.

*Cough* Although she felt distressed!

Shi Qingluo gave her an appreciative look and coaxed her: “I admire you old lady for being decisive and smart. In the future, you will be the old lady with the highest status in the general’s mansion.”

Old Lady Xiao proudly puffed up her chest: “Of course.”

Of course, she was a smart person, otherwise, how could she have given birth to a son who became a general? And this son gave birth to a grandson who can become a scholar.
